HARRISBURG, Pa, January s.
Gov. Clifford Pinchot today admitted
the boom he had personally engi-
neered for election of c. ]. Good
nough for speaker of the State House
of Representatives organizing here
Tuesday was headed for the rocks.
For the first time since he launch
ed the candidacy of the speaker of
the house of two years ago for re-
election the governor mentioned fig
ures, saying in reply TO questions that
he had about so" pledged to Good
nough. There are 20S members OF
the house. and 1s4 eligible to sit in
the Republican caucus to be held
Monday night. The governor would
need q score of votes to put his man
the capitol today who doubted
whether he would have so for Good
nough when the time came.
However, the governor declined to
concede Thomas Bluett. backed by a
powerful group of State leaders,
would be elected. In fact, he would
not discuss that. All he said when
asked IL he expected to get more
than so was, naturally"
The policy of demanding numerous
designations from people on capitol
hill hailing from counties favoring
Bluett has been relegated to the
emergency list to be used in event
of trouble during the session rather
than as a weapon in the speakership
contest. 1t has not been popular from
the start.
Instead of wet and dry" contest
the speakership, the only one connect
ed with the whole organization of
the legislature, is regarded because
OF the governors insistence upon re-
election of the presiding officer he
put over two years ago as a straight
out fight for control, with probably
serious consequences for the Pinchot
legislative program.

SHOALS FIGHT MAY

Underwood Leasing Bill Has
Passed From Stage for
Brief Period.

With a brief address by Senator
Brookhart, Republican, Iowa, oppos-
ing the Bruce amendment to prohibit
Government manufacture of fertilizer
at Muscle Shoals. the Underwood leas-
ing bill passed yesterday from the
Senate stage probably for three days
1t gave way to the postal rate and
postal salary bill.
The Muscle Shoals question will
again lie taken up after the Presi-
dents veto of the postal pay raise
bill has been disposed of. and unless
what now has developed into practi-
cally a nlibuster is brought TO an end,
Republican leaders will insist on
night sessions.
Demand Speed.
While still insisting that there il
no intention to force a test OF endur
nnce, as Senator Norris, Republican,
Nebraska, charged when night ses-
sions hrst were suggested. the ma
jority leaders say the Senate must
speed up work If II is to get. through
all Of the annual supply measures.
Three of these bills are now ready
for action, two having been reported
yesterday. and the plan is to have
them considered at night sessions.
Another. that for the Navy, probably
will be reported next week.
Opponents Divided.
Opponents of the Underwood bill
say, and some supporters of that
measure concede, that the leasing bin
has lost ground. Opponents, how
ever, find themselves divided as 10

HIGHT AND WOMAN
REFUSED RETR|AL
Judge Says Mrs. Sweetin Is
as Guilty as Pastor and
of Stronger Mind.
Rv tie Associated Press.


MOUNT VERNON, Ill. January s.
With the declaration that she was
equally as reprehensible as her pastor
lover. and warranted a sentence equally
as severe, Judge J. c. Kearn today
over-ruled motions for a new trial for
Mrs. Elsie Sweetin and Lawrence NJ.
Hight. deDosed pastor, convicted OF the
murder of her husband. Wilford
Sweetin, and formally sentenced the
man TO life imprisonment and the
woman to 50 years.
The judge in passing sentence. took
both defendants to task for their part
in the poison plot, telling Mrs. Sweetin
he was convinced she was of stronger
mind than her co-defendant. and In
forming Hight that he believed he was
of sufficient mentality to distinguish
between right and wrong.
Judge Changes Mind.
81 changed my mind about you.
Mrs. Sweetin." the Judge said. AT
first, thought you might have been
led into this crime by the urging OF
the co-defendant, but now ! am con-
vinced you have a stronger mind
than Hight"
Referring TO the fact that the evil
dence showed that Mrs. Sweetin ad-
mitted giving her husband poison
three times. the judge asserted that
"it takes lot OF cruelty and a lot of
nerve TO do a thing like that.
1T took a cruel heart to witness
the sufferings of the man who had
been your husband for 16 years. Now.
you must go to prison and leave your
children without a father and moth
er. You have blighted their lives,
and why, ! cannot understand"
Believes He Knew Right.
In passing sentence on Hight. Judge
Kern declared that while there was
some foundation for the presumption
that he was unbalanced, still he was
of the opinion that he was of suffi-
cient mentality TO know that 1t is
wrong TO kill people by administer
ing poison or buy poison for others
and urge them to administer II to
people.
Il can see how YOU came to enter
into improper relationship with Mrs.
Sweetin. That is common expert
ence. The fact a man has become a
minister does not remove him from
the temptations to which other men
are subjected. 1t does not change his
nature.
Mrs. Sweetin Moved.
How you could have gone to the
extreme of taking human life to ac-
compilsh your purpose, l cannot uh-
derstand: how in view of your con-
nection with his death you pretend
to have converted Wilford Sweetin
or how you could preach his funeral
sermon. Such conduct makes your
case rare and unusual. 1t must have
been due to some condition of your
mind that I cannot understand"
Hight received the sentence without
display of emotion, but tears came
to Mrs. Sweetin's eyes when the judge
began speaking.

BALTIMORE, January 3.-The
tendency OF modern couples TO

to court instead of working them
out for themselves was scored this

who presides over "desertion day"

They forget this business of

Stanton said. "It doesn't seem to
mean anything any more. As soon
as one Of them takes a turn for
the worse, they're at each others
throats and then they fly to court.
"A lot of these women seem TO
think bringing their husbands into
court is holiday. They don't
consider the serious side of IL.
They don't realize that while the
law requires the men to support
their wives, the men have to sup
port themselves, too, and that
their money divided doesn't reach
as far as il would II they would

The Senate and House Office Build
ings were planned, designed and
constructed under the direction and
supervision of the late architect Of

The Capitol power plant, the pump
ing station and the substations were
designed and constructed under the
general direction and supervision OF
Mr.. Woods, and under the Immediate
direction of the late chief electrical
engineer, Mr.. c. P. Gliem, to whom
is due the credit for the mechanical
and electrical fitness of this fine
plant.
The congressional Office buildings
are a monument TO the efficiency and
talent of NJ. Woods. His name Will

toric beauty and stateliness OF the
Capitol Building and it's auxiliary
buildings.
All events on the east front Of the
building have always been held under
the direction of the architect OF the

tect, Mr.. Lynn, and all of his prede
cessors. 1t has been my good for
