DENIES PART IN
ALEXANDRIA
FIRE
Arthur L. King Repudiates
Confession in Wharf Blaze.
Held for Perjury

ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 13.-Warned
Immediately before the trial that
Arthur l.. King, who is said to-
have confessed on December. 26
that he and three other men set
fire to the Norfolk and Washing
ton Steamboat Company's wharf
on Christmas Eve, would repudiate
his confession If he were placed on
the stand, Commonwealth Attorney
William p. Woods went ahead with
the case, only to have King carry
out this threat and was forced to
nolle PROSE- the cases against the
men.
King, who seemed to be very
much confused, declared several
minutes after he had taken the
stand:
II wasn't down to no wharf"
Commonwealth's Attorney Woods
had not asked King anything about
the wharf when he blazed out with
this statement. Immediately follow
ing this, King denied he had seen
Guy Wood, Carl Mander or Babe
Mills on the night the wharf was
burned. King declased he did not
make statement as to where he
had been on the night he was ar
rested, but admitted that he signed
a confession before notary public
on December 27.
Judge Howard w. Smith, who
presided. declared at this point that
he would not let the statement go
to the jury as evidence.
H. Noel Garner, who represented
Wood, then questioned King re-
garding his statement. In answer
to a question, as to why he had
made the confession, King said: II
don't know why the statement was
made"
Judge Smith then ordered the
clerk of the court to issue bench
warrant against King charging him
with perjury. He will be given a
preliminary hearing tomorrow mora
ing in police court before Judge
Frederick G. Duvall on this charge.
Director Of Public Safety Paul
Morton then took the stand and be-
gan to testify as to statements made
by King in the presence of Wood
concerning the confession. Objec-
ton was made by Garner and up
held by the court. Judge Smith told
Commonwealth Attorney Woods that
if the cases against Wood and the
other two men were based upon
Kings confession he could never
receive a verdict of guilty.
II do not believe this man." the
Judge said "and I do not believe
the jury could believe his state
ment."
Commonwealth Attorney Woods
then entered a motion to nolle
prose- the cases against the three
men and King was led from the
courtroom.

MAY FORGE
ANEXTRA
SESSION
Democrats Back Plea and At
tempt to Revive Powerful
Agricultural Bloc
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.


International News Service.
The question of providing i'm
mediate legislative relief for
American farmers was tossed into
the Administrators smooth-run-
ming congressional program today
with all the proverbial effects of
. ''bull in a china shop"
The issue was raised by Sena-
tor Borah (Rep.) of Idaho, and
eagerly Endorsed by Democratic
leaders. It made Administration
spokesman fearful for the first
time that an extra session of
Congress may be forced over. the
Presidents protests.
Legislative jam Seen.
Under the Administration pro-
gram, relief measures were given
no place. 1t was the Administra-
tons purpose to postpone this sub
ject, along with tax revisions and
the world court issue, until the
new Congress convenes next De-
cember.
II it should be taken up this ses-
sion, q legislative jam would fol-
low almost certain to force an
extra session after March 4.
The administration faced charges
from both Democratic leaders and
Independent Republicans that it
had failed to carry out promises
given the farmers in the last pres
idential campaign.
''The voters were assured last
November said Senator Swanson
Dem.) OF Virginia, that the funda-
mentals Of agriculture would be
settled Immediately to their full
satisfaction. They expected prompt
relief and, e action is delayed UNI
til next December, as the president
has suggested, the pledges and
promises Of last November will not
be fulfilled.
There ought to be an extra ses-
sion of Congress to provide relief
for the farmers"
Warns Of Disaster.
Senator Borah said the same
thing. He went further and warned
the administration, that, further
disaster threatened the farmers I'M
less Congress provided some basic
remedies for poor marketing
facilities. Borah also urged an
extra session.
I'VE should also provide a per-
manent system for the cash sale
of products to foreign markets,
Senator Jones Dem.) of New Mex
leo suggested. Right now, the
Government and nationals Of the
United States are owed twenty bill
lion dollars by the rest of the
world. OF this, some eleven bill
lions are credits extended by pri-
vate industry. We cannot have
prosperity here until farmers and
manufacturers get cash for their |
exportabIe goods instead of mere
bundles of paper"
Democratic leaders sought to re-
Vive the Senatorial farm bloc,
which welded such tremendous in
fuence in previous sessions, but
which fell into oblivion in the pres
ent Congress.
