SOCIALISTS DELAY
EFFORTS OF BRAND
TO FORM CABINET
Veteran Sees No Chance Of
Meeting Situation Tonight
Despite Critical Need.
De MONZIE REQUESTED
TO RULE FOR ONE DAY
Expedient Devised as Means of
Getting Vote at Once on
Currency Measure.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, April l1S.-Ex-Premier BRAND
asked by President Doumergue to form
a cabinet, abandoned late today any
idea of completing his task before to-
morrow.
1t was announced at pm. that he
would shortly visit the presidential
palace and inform the executive there
was no chance of his forming a cabi-
net tonight.
One-Day Cabinet Proposed.
Senator de Monte, finance minister
in the Herriot cabinet, was summoned
10 the Palace of the Elysee this after
noon and there discussed with Presi-
dent Doumergue a proposal to form a
one-day ministry to vote the bill eN-
tending the limits on currency circu-
lation and borrowing by the state. NJ.
de Monzie has been widely suggested
to head such ministry.
Opposition to a provisional ministry
for which he sees no necessity was
expressed by NJ. Louis Loucheur, who
was offered the ministry of finance
recently. The country has not shown
the least excitement since 1t was
learned that the legal financial cir
Culation has been exceeded; If any
thing, exchanges have improved, he
declared.
NJ Loucheur expressed the opinion
ed so long, can easily wait few
more days for necessary legislation.
Raises Legal Issue.
NJ BRAND questioned the consti-
tutionality of such a provisional min
istry, but declared the matter de-
pends entirely upon President Dou-
mergue.
The prediction in the Chamber lob
bies are that any new government
formed by a coalition would be short
lived and that NJ. BRAND would again
in a short time be asked to form a
concentration government. The So
Cialists hold the key to the situation
and do not appear inclined to help
out in any combination other than
another Herriot cabinet. Their lead
ing organ says today, that the new
ministry must be organized either
by former Premier Herriot or by the
opposition; that If the Left bloc re-
mains in power NJ. Herriot is their
logical and only possible leader.
Socialists Oppose BRAND.
The Socialists oppose Brands ef-
forts to form new ministry and are
using passive resistance, which is
showing results in the request of NJ.
BRAND for more time.
The formation of temporary cabi-
net to deal with the urgent phases
of the financial question Is also op-
posed by the Socialists.
NJ. BRAND talked the matter over
today with NM. Boncour and Auriol,
Socialists, who expressed themselves
as against temporary government for
the purpose of bringing about this leg
islation.

country. Each plane will have
carrying capacity of three tons.
Maj. Cunnar Isachen, who has
lived years in the Arctic and has
led several expeditions there, be-
lieves that of the Norwegian
Club has every chance of reach
ing the pole, although land
ing may be difficult, he said, be-
cause ice which at one spot may
be hard may be soft and soggy a
short distance away. According to
Isachen, IL Amundsen reaches the
pole he undoubtedly will make for
Alaska, despite having expressed
the intention of returning to
Spitzbergen.
Isachen says Amundsen may be
expected to explore the regions
between Alaska and the pole, or
to proceed toward Cape Columbia,
where there are depots of pro-
visions. If either of these routes
is taken, the Amundsen expedition
probably will not be heard from
until Fall, declared Mai Isachen.am

MACHINERY CRUSHES
WORKMAN TO DEATH
Albert Tohms Is Caught in Betting
at Plant of District
Paper Mill.

Caught in the betting of machinery
at the plant of the District Paper
Mill, Potomac and x streets, where
he was working, Albert Tohms, 81.
1713 Lamont street, was crushed to
death early today
Absence of witnesses to the acci-
dent made it difficult for the police
to get definite report as to how it
actually happened. 1t is believed
that Tohms was making an effort
to remedy belt trouble without first
having the engine shut down.
The deceased, a native of New
York, came here six years ago, hav-
ing previously resided in Neenah,
Wis, where he was member of
Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges A
daughter, Miss Gladys Tohms, was
killed in the Knickerbocker Theater

plane he eaESis6 on the expedition as
reserve force in case one of the
two now being built Is wrecked or
put out of commission. 1t was ex-
planned at the Bureau of Aeronautics
today that too much Is at stake to
place the success of the expedition on
the ability of the two planes to func-
tion perfectly throughout their stay
in the Arctic.
1t would be comparable to flying a
bi-motored plane which, if one motor
failed, the other would be virtually
useless except for sustaining the
plane in fight long enough to select
landing place.
With only two planes on the trip,
they would have TO fly together to
come to the aid of the other should
an accident befall one. Then if only
one plane were left to carry out the
remaining plans the factor of safety
would be considerably decreased, but
If third plane were in reserve, the
expedition could so on unhampered.
The Looming aeronautical factory in
New York today was asked if it could
turn out a third plane in time. and
although final approval for the extra
ship has not been given, it is regard
ed as certain it will be granted If the
factory can supply it.

WOMAN IN POISON
CASE SURRENDERED
TO GARY OFFICIALS
Bodies DiSinterred in Search
for Evidence That Drugs
Caused Deaths.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April 13.-Mrs. Anna
Cunningham, whose husband and four
of their children died after brief i'll
nesses within six years. TODAY was
taken into custody at the county
hospital by two police sergeants and
matron from Gary, Ind, and taken
back there for detention pending fur
ther investigation of the mysterious
deaths.
The exhumation of the bodies near
Valparaiso, Ind, where the Cunning
ham family lived before moving to
Gary, was to take place today to
permit chemical analysis of the con-
tents of the vital organs.
The poisoning of Mrs. Cunning
hams only surviving son, David, jr.,
who Is recovering in Chicago hos
pftal, led to an investigation here.
Mrs. Cunningham was released by
the authorities of the county hospi-
tai. where she attempted to choke
herself with a bed sheet last night,
to States Attorney Groves men, who
then transferred her to the custody
of the Gary police by the formal sign
ing of release papers.
Woman Relative Calls.
of Mrs. Cunningham, but who re-
fused to divulge her name, visited
her before she was taken from the
hospital.
Who has my case?" Mrs. Cunning
ham inquired after greeting the
visitor.
The latter said she did not know,
and with scarcely any other remarks
Mrs. Cunningham departed in the
custody of the Gary police.
The move to return Mrs. Cunning
ham to Gary came while the authori-
ties of Lake County, which includes
Gary; of Porter County and of Chi
cago were arranging for the exhu-
nation today of one or more of the
bodies of the deceased members of
the Cunningham family. The bodies
were buried in a small cemetery near
Valparaiso, Ind, in Porter County.
CoIlapses During ouiz.
Mrs Cunningham collapsed after
making statements to police that she
had always kept quantities of ar
senic in the house for rat poison"
She was In a state of coma in the
county hospital for several hours, and
on recovering refused to answer any
more questions.

that Mrs. Cunningham attempted to
strangle herself with bedclothes which
she twisted so tightly around her
neck that her breath was shut off.
| The policewoman frustrated the at
tempt after a struggle, she said, and
an extra officer was placed in the
room the rest of the day.
The deaths of the Cunninghams
came at intervals. The father,
David, sr.. died July 2, 1918, and
those of a daughter and three sons
following, one by one, up to August
%, 1929.
Prompt medical attention alone
saved David, jr, from death, ply
sicians at the hospital say. He be-
came sick six weeks ago after
eating his lunch, he told physicians,
and has felt i'll nearly every time
after eating meals since. His mother
prepared all of his meals.
The mental condition of Mrs.
Cunningham was brought into ques-
ton by statements of George Arnold
and Mrs. C. r. Williams of Chicago,
her nephews.

He said he believed there were
many suitable places for making
airplane landings in the vicinity

from the expeditions base in

explorer. Donald Macmillan, on his
expedition 10 the polar wastes this
summer.
Their objective is 4 survey Of the
giant "b!ind spot on the map

petition was then in SIGHT, however.
and President Coolidge callcl off

But the situation now is changed.
Norway already has IN expedition
