SENATE REJECTS
 REICH RELIEF BILL
La Toilette Move To Face Vote
 Lost 5 To 23

WASHINGTON, June GA last minute effort to vote $1O,000,0OO for German relief was killed Friday night, when the Senate refused to take up the Fish resolution, authorizing the appro- priation, on motion from Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin. The motion was defeated, 53 to 2S.
 The resolution passed the House, but was rejected recently by the Senate foreign relations committee.
 LaFollette moved Friday afternoon that the committee discharge the reso- lution 50 that it could be considered by the Senate. A lengthy debate was pre- cipitated. Senator Lodge, of Massa- chusetts, Republican floor leader, led the fight against the resolution.
 LaFollette declared tn. t the appro. priation of $10,00O,0OO would assist the maintenance of Democratic government in Germany, as well as save the lives of thousands. Germany, he said, is la- boring under a sense of isolation and requires such expressions of sympathy and undertanding from the outside world.
 A number of senators came over to LaFollette and congratulated him when he had completed his speech.

UNRULY WEATHER
 RETARDS CROPS
Conditions In Southeast Some
 Better, Report Shows

With weather conditions highly un- favorable throughout the country, crops as whole remain backward, accord ing to the weekly crop report of the American Steel and Wire company.
 ':The weather is too cool and wet in some sections" the report says, and too hot and dry in others. There has been no marked improvement in any section, although conditions in the southeast are more favorable. The central west and far east sections are dry; all crops are backward. There has been no serious injury to wheat and oats. Much corn still remains to be planted, and, because of low germi- nation, a large amount will have to be replanted.
 Wheat is holding it's own in central states and has stood comparatively still in spring wheat states, Cotton has changed little during the past week. Truck crops all are very slow. Pas lures and hay lands over the eastern half of the country are reported in fla vorable condition. Livestock is fair,"

HATFIELD DECISION
 TO BE HELD OYER
Senate Committee Faced By Ad- ditional VoluminOus Testimony

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Members of the Senate committee conducting the inquiry into the contest against the seating of Senator Mayfield. democrat, Texas, said today that no final report would be made to the Senate at the present session.
 Insistence by attorneys for George E. B. Teddy, the contestant, that the committee hear the reading of volumin- ous extracts from testimony previously taken in connection with the charges against Senator Mayfield prevented the presentation today of the closing argu- ment of counsel in summing up the evidence which has been presented at the hearing. Peddy's lawyers also ad- vised the commiteee that they probably would have additional witnesses pres ent tomorrow to be heard.
 Committee members expressed hope that the testimony would be closed to- morrow so that report could be draft ed for presentation to Congress when it reconvenes in December.

 Vote Is 247 To 1S2
 The body voted 247 to 1S2 on a reso- lution approving the plan. The reso- lution also instructed the government to do its utmost to gain the so-called points of honor" for Germany, namely, to arrange that German prisoners in the occupied areas be freed and that Germans expelled from the areas be allowed to return.
 The middle parties. supported by the socialist and the Bavarian peoples party, voted for the Dawes plan. The nationalists and communists opposed it.
 Places Objection
 An opposition viewpoint was ex- pressed by Count von Reventlow, na- tionalist, who bitterly warned foreign investors against believing that Ger many would be stabilized once the re- port was accepted.
 "They must not place confidence in the Dawes plan," he said, since the signature ot this government will not ha u,nrfh apvfhinOD

JASPER, Ala, June Trial of Sheriff Guy O'Rear before the sue preme court of Alabama on charges of malfeasance in office is expected to follow his indictment on five charges and recommendation for impeachment by a special term of the Walker county grand jury to- day.
 The grand jury in it's report to Judge R. L. Blanton also recon1- mended the impeachment of J. R. Mooney, justice of the peace in beat 2, north of Jasper and indicted Mooney and J. Carl Shepherd, judge of Jasper city court, on charges Of extortion.
 Judges Quit
 Both Judge Shepherd and Justice Mooney resigned today and conse- Quently avoided impeachment trials. Shepherd turned in his resignation be- fore the grand jury reported and his impeachment was not recommended. The jury asked for the, impeachment of Mooney but his resignation makes that unnecessary.
 O'Rear was indicted on five charges as follows: Embezzlement, perjury, ac- cepting bribe, false pretense and ex7 tortion.
 Assistant Solicitor J. R. Mccoy of Jefferson county was designated by At torney General Davis to conduct the grand jury investigation of O'Rear's record. It is expected that the next step in the case of O,Rear will be filing of proceedings in the supreme court by the attorney general. The cases will then come up for trial before that tri- bunal.
 The charges against the sheriff are given in detail and the report covers over 100 pages. They allege an agree ment with employers to avoid arresting negro workmen upon payment of 6O cents a head a month, charging for food to prisoners never bought nor fed, perjury in the removal of prisoners from other counties to Jasper when the prisoners were not received and making arrests on the highways and assessing and collecting fines immediately without making any report.
 In the cases of eO'Rear and Mooney the impeachment charges include in- competency, wilful neglect of duty, cor ruption in office and offenses involving moral turpitude.
 Citizens of the county are divided over the service of Sheriff O'Rear, who took office January l, 1923. Some claim that the fight against him is backed by his enemies who oppose pro- hibition enforcement, Several other factors are said to be involved in the charges against the official.
