BUSY TWO WEEKS
OF SESSION ENDS
Taxes, World Court, Dis
armament, Dry Issue
Await Recovering.
MEETS AGAIN JAN. 4TH
Chief Business Accomplished
by the House Was Passage
of the Tax Measure.

Washington, d. C. - ~, Con-
gress began IL day vacation today,
closing busy two weeks in which
it laid much of the ground work for
a long and spirited session.
Resuming deliberations OH January
a, both houses will have number of
major issues with which to grapple,
including taxes, the world court, dis
armament, the rubber md COTE price
situations, debt settlements and the
various appropriation bills.
Working at top speed, the house
has passed on to the senate the $685.
100000 tax reduction bill and prepared
"5r a vote on the treasury-postoffice
supply bill INN ediately after recon
vening. 1t also adopted resolution
calling for investigation Of alleged
manipulation of crude rubber prices
by the English colonial government,
and of monopo1ies of other commo-
tiles.
Busy as it was, the lower chamber
took time to discuss prohibition at
great length and from both sides,
the drys predominating in the only
vote on the subject. The vote came
on a provision Of the treasury bill
which would appropriate $250,O0O for
use by prohibition agents in procur-
ing evidence.
The senate passed only one major
measure but it started several is
sues on their way to extended debate.
Ii Eassea the administration bill cree
ating division Of civilian aeronautics
in the department of commerce, and
enacted several minor measures in
addition to confirming hundreds of
nominations.
Consideration Of proposed American
adherence to the world court will be
resumed in the senate after the holt
days, while its finance committee will
begin work on the tax bill. 1t is plan
ned to finally pass the tax measure
by March.
Both houses have concerned them
selves with the disarmament ques-
tion each having received resolutions
authorizing American participation In
the preliminary sessions to be held
at Geneva. The senate resolution, by
Senator King, Democrat, Utah. was
laid aside at his own request while
that in the house, by Representative
Fish. Republican, New York, and
Moore, Democrat, Virginia, was re-
ferred to committee.

CLAIM BENDELLI
SEARCH ILLEGAL
Motion to Suppress Eyi-
dence in Alleged Extor-
ton Case. Filed.
HEAR CASE THURSDAY

4.
The first evidence Of disposition
to fight charges of attempted extor-
ton filed against Pietro Bendelli, 1011
Market street, was given to, District
Attorney Lewis Powell this morning
when Frank Symmonds, attorney for
the defendant, filed notice of motion
which he will present to the court on
Thursday at the time of the prelim-
mary hearing schedule in the case,
demanding that evidence secured by
the police against Bendelli be sup
pressed on the grounds that it WIS IL
legally obtained.
Bendelli is charged with threaten
ing the life of c. w, Nash, president
of the Nash Motors company, unless
the latter should deposit $4,000 in
bills of small denominations at place
designated by, Bendelii at the corner
of Market and Newell streets.
The motions in the case filed today
will be heard previous to the prelim-
mary hearing scheduled for ten o'clock
in the municipal court Thursday
morning.
According to the motion and the
affidavits supporting it, the officers
who entered the rooming house Of
Mrs. Valentino Marinelli, at 1011
Market street, in the upper fiat of
which Bendelli rented room, did so
by violating the constitutional rights
of tho woman.
The motion alleges that on Decem-
H.. ..,Ln~a %bn oAHnoro anfaraI tho
premises, Mrs. Marinelli had no right
to permit anyone to go into the room
rented from her by Bendelli. 1t de-
scribes how the squad, headed by
Lieut.. Charles Rock, entered the room.
When it was found that Mrs. Marinelli
could understand English only inn
perfectly, RICK went for an inter
prefer. While. he was gone for the
interpreter, the motion declares, the
other officers entered the room and
searched Bendesli's effects.
Protested to officers.
Mrs. Marinelli declares that she pro-
tested to the offers, but when she be-
gan to interfere one of the officers
called her into another room. Attor-
ney Symmonds goes on to say chat the
officers seized Bendelli's suitcase con-
tanning letters, stationery, clothing
and other personal effects including
S57 in money. All of this material
was used as evidence in tracing the
author of the threatening letters adj
dressed to Mr.. Nash, and the police
and district attorney are ready to of
fer this evidence in the preliminary
hearing on Thursday morning.
