FARM RELIEF
COMP PROM|SE
Steps Taken in That Direction
!. for This Session of
Congress

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Steps
were inaugurated py the admins
tration today to bring forth some
compromise farm relief measure
which can be passed before ad-
journment of congress.
The growing complexity of the
legislative situation surrounding
agricultural aid bills was laid before
President Coolidge by members Of
congress. Chairman Smell of the
House rules committee told the
President that defeat of the McNary-
Haugen farm export corporation bill
in the House appeared certain.
Senator Gooding, Republican, Ida
no, advised the executive that the
farm bloc of which he Is a member
and the insurgent Republicans
would demand enactment of some
farm legislation, preferably the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill, as condition to
adjournment before the Republican
national convention. Another idaho
member, Representative French. a
Republican, also urged the advisa-
bility of action on the McNary-
Haugen bill but said the vote on the
measure would be close.
The administration SO far as made
known. has evolved no compromise,
but is looking to Republicans in
congress to bring forward some
plan which can command sufficient
support to be passed within the next
ten days by both Houses and which
VIII be satisfactory to the President.
Secretary Wallace's views have been
sought in the endeavor.s

TRIBUTE TO HARDING
IS PAID BY DAUGHERTY

ADA, Ohio, May 2s.-Eulogy of
Warren G. Harding as one who "has
left behind as his heritage. a
record of achievement. and distinc-
ton that will endure with the re-
public was paid the former Pres
ident by Harry NJ. Daugherty. for
mer attorney general in an address
today dedicating the Harding me-
mortal law building at Ohio North
ern University.
I'm a constructive sense, perhaps
his greatest fame will rest upon his
efforts TO bring about an interna-
tional tribunal of law as a substi-
tute for warfare. These efforts will
stamp him as a man OF peace, or
Justice. a humanitarian, an uphold
er of the highest law of Justice and
mercy" Mr.. Daugherty said.
I'm day tempestuous with
strident, wrangling voices, we can
wish he might now be amongst US
and speak again; might desire that
his last public words had not died
away beneath Alaskan skies.

Bauer Case May Not Go to
Jury Today-Much Time
for the State
HE TESTIFIED YESTERDAY
Says Stories Told Before Due
to Fright, Knowing He
Was Suspected
HE TESTIFIED YESTERDAY

NEW YORK, May 2s.-Harry l..
Hoffman, motion picture operator,
resumed the witness stand today at
his trial in county court at st.
George. Staten Island. on charge
of numbering Mrs. Maude A. Bauer.
District Attorney Each made fur
ther attempts, by cross examination
to pick flaws in Hoffman's story of
his movements on March 25 last. the
day Mrs. Bauer was killed on a
lonely road in the Chelsea district of
the island.
1t was not believed the case would
reach the jury today, since Each was
prepared to question Hoffman, at
length. 1t was also believed that
the district attorney would call in re-
buttal one or more women to TESTIFY
that Hoffman made improper ad
vances to them.
In his testimony yesterday Hoff-
man declared that at the moment
Mrs. Bauer was murdered he was
returning to Staten Island from New
York on a ferry boat. After visiting
his brother he had gone to China
town, he said. and subsequently to
a Chlnese restaurant where he ate.
morning he told District Attorney
Each that he finished his meal at
about $3.50 P. M.
You may recall that you told me
you had some soup after you got
home that day?" said Mr.. Each.
Hoffman said be didn't remember
but that he would not deny having
said it.
Then you ask this jury to be-
iieve that after eating a heavy meal
at Chinese restaurant you came
home and had some soup, ques-
toned the district attorney.
well, I wouldn't say I had a
heavy meal at the Chinese restau-
rant" replied Hoffman.
He had previously testified that
his meal was chicken chow mein
and rice and tea.
Hoffman, on the stand yesterday,
declared that Barbara Fahs, the
thirteen-year-old girl witness, who
identified him as the man who had
given Mrs. Bauer a lift in his sedan,
had failed to recognize him until
after she had been closeted with the
police for a considerable period. He
mentioned a read-headed boy who,
after looking at him, had said ISL
lively he was not the man. >.
Hoffman said contradictions IN
the different versions he had given
of his activities on the day of the
murder were due to fright. He said
he had been in constant trepidation
that the police. seeking desperately
for the killer, would lay hands on
him because of his marked resem-
blance to the sought for man.
