NO ASSURANCE
Of IMPORTANT
BILLS PASSING
THIS TIME
Wide Divergence Found
In Views Of Senate
And House Factions
On Many Measures.
By PAUL R.

UNITED Press star correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
Entering the final stretch
with only 26 working days
ahead, congressional leaders
tonight made known their
plans of legislation to be
enacted before adjournment.
Preparing for the inevitable final
scramble, the leaders have agreed to
push half u dozen bills and shove
aside other proposals which would
require extended debate and per-
hsps jeojardize the whole program.
While there are no definite assur-
ances hat any important bill will
finally be made a law because of tho
conflicting desire Of tho different
groups in both houses. passage
chances are better now than they
have been.
The situation on major affairs Is
as follows;
Farm Relief.
Most groups hope for q vote on
the Capper, Williams bill to consider
Ills OF the farmer. The I'LL provides
selection by the president of a CONF
mission Of five at salaries Of $4,000
a year to offer federal aid in COOP
erative marketing. The house agri-
cultural committee VIII meet on
Monday 10 consider this. where u
stated that a vote viii be forced.
Muscle Shoals.
House and senate %conferecs hopo
next week to conclude work OF res
vamping the Underwood bill. pass
ed by tho senate, which authorizes
the president TO make "A private
lease of the $3.50, 600, 900 government
power project II he can find ono be-
fore September and II not to take
steps for government operation.
Postal Rates.
The Moses bill which passed this
senate. 10 TO s, is encountering diff
c%ulties, the house %contendng that
the senate is attempting to usurp it's
legislation prerogative Of Initiating
evenue legislation. Senator Moses.
New Hampshire. Republican. has
come forward with a statement that
the bill is some S22 900 900 snort Of
fdlssnB tlt 800 uuu ioVV nttueQ 70 pay
Increased postal salaries. President
Coolidge vetoed the salaries Increase
bill because II did not provide funds.
World Court.
Final action seems hopeless. The
senate foreign relations committee
will meet again Wednesday TO get a
vote upon the Hardins-HuEhes pro-
posal for adherence to the interna-
tional court OF Justice. The Pepper
resolution sleeps on the senate cal
endar. Senator Shipstead. Mime
sofa. Farmer.Laborite however. has
Indicated he will move TO take up
some world court resolution before
adjournment.

terstate streams commissioner could
find TO do in Wyoming. except to
rattle around in tho office and draw
pay for so rafting?
1t Is a plain and simple outrage to
continue the office. 1t is nothing
short OF graft upon the taxpayers
and obtaining money from tho peo-
pies treasury by false ~pretenses.
The present commissioner occupies
the prayer closet adjoining the gov.
errors office and is supposed to be
on the advisory board or steering
committee of the administration.
HIGHWAY
UPKEEP.
It is raid that upkeep OF the state
highways costs as much as $500 per
mile. II this be true then there is
something wrong in tho original
construction. That would make a
maintenance charge on the states
sixteen hundred miles Of highway Of
$3.50 900 per year. Do the people Of
Wyoming desire to shoulder any
such annual repair bill without fur
Their knowledge of what the high
way program is to be7 Do they de-
sire to absorb $500. 900 in gasoline
taxes without some slight knowl-
edge OF where the demands OF the
highway commission are going to

Of how 1t was possible to remove q set screw from lock such as iB on the front doors of the department store. Having removed this screw it's possible to take out the cylinder from the lock by unscrewing. Having removed the cylinder. he in- serted his finger In the hole and drew back the. bolt.
 Miss Edith Larsen was then called and as she took the stand all eyes were upon her. as the state was expected to make their first attempt to identify Chapman through her. No such attempt was made and her testimony resolved itself Into an at- tempt to establish that the burglar izlng of the store had been carefully planned.
 Miss Larsen said that about ?. m. on the afternoon of October II, she noticed a man walking back and fourth near her counter in the front of tho store. Pipe in hand, the man went over and stood near the door with his arms crossed in front of him In such manner that 1t would have been possible to tam per with the lock as had been demonstrated by tho previous wit ness.
 At this point, the attention of everyone in the court room was centered on the girl and beads of precipitation appeared on her brow as 1t was expected that the time for the attempt at identification had arrived. But States Attorney Al- corn said he was through with the witness and Judge Jennings an- nounced adjournment.
