DO-NOTHING CHARGE
CAUSES FIVE HOURS
OF VIGOROUS DEBATE
CONTINUED From First Paee.)

was frankly a partisan exchange. A
terrific barrage of gloomy forebod-
ings as to republican election pros
poets was hurled across the aisle by
Senators Neely Of West Virginia and
Hefiin Of Alabama, democrats, whose
ammunition was taken from the rec
ords of the Senate investigation
committees, speeches OF republican
leaders. newspaper editorials and
their own estimates of what the
voters were thinking about Senator
Neely warned his republican asso-
ciates that last-moment repentance
would not save them. and Senator
Heflin asserted that it would be use
less to enact legislation until the
country was assured there were
honest officials to execute the laws"
Republicans Ignore Talk.
On the republican side the empty
benches suggested battle casualties,
until it was observed that Senator
Brandegee of Connecticut was calm
ly signing his days mail at his desk,
and that Senators Ladd Of North Da-
kota, and Spencer of Missouri were
holding a peaceful conversation in a
far corner, as remote as possible
from the noise Of conflict
Senator Wadsworth tramped rest
iessiy up and down the space behind
the republican benches during the in
tervals when he re-entered the cham

or hnding L chance to forward the
case of his constitutional amendment,
nominally the unfinished business"
of the Senate. Despairing at last. he
broke into the democratic attack long
enough to say that talk is king here
and those here the least time talk
the most"
Senator Wadsworth pointed out that
the Senate had failed even to COM
plete its routine morning business.
In mid afternoon Senator McNary,
republican, Oregon, sought and OBJ
tanned consent to LAY aside the un-
finished business" in favor Of a pro-
posed law effecting auto reciprocity
between Washington and Maryland
and known as the District gas law"
This was the legislative vehicle for
most of the ensuing debate, during
which 1t was never mentioned.
Borah Outlines Program.
Senator Robinson's challenge of
the majority program was answered
by Senator Borahs suggestion that
it should contain tax reduction, farm
relief and reclamation reoTganiza-
ton. Later, Senator Fletcher, demo-
crat, Florida, added modification OF
the shipping act and Senator Shields.
democr Tennessee, contributed
Muscle Shoals issues, which should
hot be disregarded in any legislative
program.
Neither suggestion, however, served
to check the scattered gunfire of de
bate that continued until Senator
Ladd brought forward the report of
the oil committee upon the refusal
of Harry F. Sinclair to answer to
committee inquiries. Aside from a
few moments in executive session.
the Senate devoted the remaining
forty minutes of its session to that
subject.

CUBA MUST REVOLT,

and Friends.
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associat ted Press.
NEW YORK, March 22.-Something
swift aud thorough q revolution if
necessary, but if so a bloodless one,
to wipe out the administration Of
President Zayas of Cuba, is being
planned here by Gen. Carlos Garcia y
Velez. Col. Manuel Despaigne and a
third unnamed Cuban, the New York
Times will say tomorrow.
A reporter for the Times today
found Gen. VeleZ after a search of
two days, beginning when the Cuban,
who holds the title of minister to
Great Britain, disappeared upon DIS
embarking from the steamer Es-
Bahamas. where he had been in hid
ing for six months.
The newspaper will quote Gen.
Velez as saying:
- Something will have to
be done. 1t will have to be swift and
thorough. We do not wish to dis
turb the country until the sugar-cut-
ting season is over. that being the
basic industry on which large
share of the islands industrial ac-
is not to go down further in the
slime of official debauchery, there
must be change very soon"
Warns American Capital.
The trio will be represented as
warning American capital from
doubtful ventures In Cuba for the
moment" Gen. Velez will be shown
as saying that he does not believe the
United States Department of State
= could be brought to fervent protest
in behalf of American capital which
had been drawn into Cuba through
consciousness exploitation
Among the trio's projects is the
repeal of the Tarafa bill, which pro-
vided for consolidation of the rail-
road and port systems of Cuba. This
was one of the ideas in the dec
laration of independence" formulated
by the Veterans and Patriots Associ-
alton, founded by Gen. Velez, of
which he is president and Despaigne,
treasurer.
we would not say now we are
planning a revolution" Gen. Velez
told the Times. I'VE will say frankly,
however, what we have said in Cuba,
that we are working for the over
throw of the Zayas government in
order to save the country. We do not
know whether that can be accom-
plished without revolution, which we
do not believe in, if 1t can be avoid
ed

that the democrats could manipulate
the committee for partisan reasons"
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
democratic leader, later assured the
Senate there was no disposition on
the democratic side to unduly pro-
long the Investigations.
But when 1t became known there
was such corruption existent" he
said, ait certainly was and is now
our duty to disclose the true facts
Il wonder IL there Is not a dispo-
sition somewhere to halt these in
vestigations before the true facts are
known. IL so, / assure the public
that the honest men of this body and
the honest men of the nation will
rise in opposition"

MOSCOW PLAYERS
WIN D. c. favor
Fine Performances Given al
Polls, Including "Broth- /
erS of Karamazoff."

Tragic, memorable, the dramatic story
Of '-The Brothers Karamazoff," q novel
by Fyodor Dostoievsky, was revealed
IN the six scenes given by Moscow Art
Theater at Polls Theater last night.
At the close of the last act, the audi

of the worlds foremost companies of

COW Art Theater fully sustained this
reputation in it's repetoire of five plays,
II which 1.-THE Brothers Karamazoir''
is by no means the least interesting.
In expression, in extreme natural
ness, the members of the Moscow
Art Theater showed a grasp of the
values and of the balances of acting
which will linger long in the memory
of those fortunate enough to have
been among their audience.
Passion Dominates Play.
The Brothers Karamazoff-' could
not be called a pleasant play by the
widest stretch of the imagination. 1t
is d story in which passion dominates,
sion in the form of jealousy, in the
form of revenge. The brothers, three
in number, are sired by an old repro
bate, a man who has yielded to his
every impulse in the search of pleas
ure and who in his old age possesses
the spirit of libertine and cynic.
There seems little hope for them with
such a father.
There is still another son of the
old karamazoff-an illegitimate son,

WILLS WON EASILY.
SAYS THE REFEREE
FIRPO WAS DISAPPOINTMENT TO
DANNY ULLIVAN-WOULD
NOT OR COULDN'T FIGHT.
Wills Much Too Clever and Stronger
But Was Too Careful.

(By Danny Sullivan, the Referee, in
the New york WORLDLY
Harry Wills won his fight with
Luis FirpO easily.
The better man won on his form
last night, in my opinion. Firpo was
big disappointment, and Wills
showed that he is ready for anything.
A bit of overoautiousness, it
seemed to me, and the lack of time
in that second round. when Firpo hit
the floor for a count Of four, and
Wills might have won by a knockout
and tied Dempseys record with the
wild Bull"
Firpo didn't make his usual slam
bang, clouting, crushing attack
There was nothing of the viciousness
that he showed against Willard and
against Dempsey. For one thing,
Wills took the steam out of him too
early, it seemed to me, and for an.
other thing, Wills seemed to have a
smart way of evading that big wal
Top with the right. He rolled away
from all of them till the sting was
gone for good.
You couldn't make a good fight of

or couldn't fight. He protested in
The ring against the wallops he had
to take in the kidneys-terrific blows
but he agreed to the rule Of hit
ting with one hand free and then he
didn't take advantage Of it himself.
His best blow, it seemed to me, was
the right to the body, and he landed
hard with it several times. but he
couldn't hurt Wills
L had expected, in view of Wills's
past figths, to have trouble with him
over holding and hitting. As a mat
ter of fact, Wills fought remark
ably clean fight. He did none of
his usual stuff of hanging around his
opponents neck and batting with the
other arm, and he did not use his
back hand punch once. Had Firpo
been willing to come out and battle
straight away, there'd have been a
real fight, as I said.
Wills. as l saw it, was far too
clever for Firpo. The Wild Bull
didn't land his famous overhead right
once, that is, Clearly. But it was
the fear of that blow which probably
saved him from a knockout.
There seemed some disposition to
criticise Wills for hitting Firpo as
! they came out of that clinch in the
|second-that Highlander which put
FirpO on the floor. The blow was
perfectly legitimate. 1t landed SIM
ply because Firpo was too careless in
breaking away to hold up his hands
nd protect himself. He came out

I'd Wills simply popped him. 1t was

in getting up so soon. Wills to me
seemed too careful. l expected to
see him tear in with blows to the
head, but he didn't. He seemed
afraid of Firpo's scowling face and
white he landed couple Of good
blows before the bell, they weren't
nearly enough to push over the
South American again.
After that, however, the steam
seemed all out of Firpo, though he
was always on the aggressive. You
can't take that away from him, he
is willing, but fast night he was far
too slow with such a man as Wills
in front of him.
Most people have had the opinion
that Firpo is marvel Of strength.
Last night Wills was far the strong

threw Firpo around the ring with
ease. He had to be able to do 1t

refusing to stand out and fight.
