was not acceptable to Secretary Mel

It was learned Clementel considers

Whether he will ask for debt classi-
fication or payment of the total with
out interest over a stretch of years
or make a new interest proposal, is
uncertain.
1t is difficult, however, for the
finance minister to put forward an
other proposition until he hears from
London what the British government
is willing to consider for the Anglo
French debt settlement on the basis
of the Balfour note. He is further
embarrassed by the opposition to COM
plete settlement such as has been
expressed by Deputy Marin. At the
same time, he wishes to counteract
the effect of Marins Chamber of Dep
uties speech in America, so he is
likely to make some sort of offer
even before he knows on what basis
the British are willing to negotiate.

COMMITTEE URGES
S15O,ODO,ODO PUBLIC
BUILDINGS ACT NOW
House Will Get Report To-
morrow Pressing for Vote
on Bill Affecting D. c.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Aroused, as was President Coolidge,
by the hourly menace of fire to thou
sonds of Government employees and
Government documents representing
billions of dollars, the House commit
tee on public buildings and grounds
will make a report tomorrow urging
the passage at this session OF Con-
gress of a $15O,OOO, 900 public build
ings bill. One-third of that amount
is to be spent on most urgently need
ed housing for Federal activities in
the National Capital.
This is not an old-time pork bar
rer' bill, under which individual
members of Congress can get monu-
mental buildings foresome small COM
munity. Under the Elliott BILL which
is to be reported, the entire method
has been changed in conformity with
the budget system, and the entire
responsibility for recommending the
places where public buildings are
needed in the order of their relative
Importance is placed in the Treasury
Department.
Plan for Sitting Projects.
This follows the same procedure of
investigating all projects as is fol-
lowed by the Engineer Corps of the
Army on rivers and harbors work, so
that by the time the appropriations
committee actually comes to making
the money available there is not one
chance in a thousand for an undeserv-
ing project to get by.
Under a committee amendment the
Postmaster General will be given joint
responsibility with the Treasury De-
partment in deciding where post office
buildings are to be located and where
they are most urgently needed.
Through such a system as Garrett
B. Winston, Undersecretary of the
Treasury, outlined to the House COM
mittee the country at large will be
assured of public buildings to meet
the public needs and of dignifled
housing of Federal activities, so that
the Government service will not be
at the mercy of speculative rental
property.
1t is essential to note that there has
been no public building by Uncle Sam
for more than II years, and that the
post Offices. the courts and Treasury
agencies are sadly in need OF more
adequate quarters.
President Coolidge made special ap-
peal to Congress for a $50, 100000 pro-
gram for new Federal buildings in
Washington and he has approved the
$50, 900 900 BILL which is to be reported
out tomorrow. putting the public build

FATHER AND 2 SONS
CONDEMNED TO Die
Jury Convicts Trio of Murder Of
South Carolina Farmer-Dicta-
phone Evidence Used.
BY the Associated Press.

GREENyILLE. s. c., January "a
Jerry Hester and his two sons, Charlie
Hester and Claude Hester, were con-
victed of the murder of j. Ed Thack-
ston, farmer and merchant, this after
noon at 5:45 o'clock. A motion for d
new trial was refused by Judge Rice,
who sentenced the three men to die
in the electric chair on February 81.
Thackston was slain on the night of
December 19, 1924.
The Hester case has been distinc-
tive in two ways. 1t was the first
time dictaphone evidence had been
admitted in a South Carolina court
so far as local officials know, and it
also, SC far as they knew, was the
first time three members of one fam
lily have been sentenced to die Judge
Rice remarked upon this latter phase
of the case in passing sentence.
