ACTIVITY Is
RENEWED IN
j. s. CAPITOL
Committees and SubcOmmit
tees Called to Prepare
For Next Session

Washington, Nov. -tR-The
hope of congressional spiders to
spin their webs indefinitely in peace
within the favored hooks Of the
capitol was definitely shattered to-
day with "A revival Of activity that
has not been approached since the
national legislators shut up shop and
went home four months ago.
In the house wing Of the big white
building one full committee, that on
ways and means, and five subcom-
mittees were called to prepare for
the recovering of congress, and all
Of the recognized Republican leaders
had engagements to disturb the spid-
ers' industry in their offices. while
in the senate number Of similarly
disastrous pre-sessiOn conferences
had been arranged.
And as if these disturbing ele-
ments were not sufficient to upset
the artistic mood of any earnest
spider, the heavy tones Of contro-
versy over farm relief were revcr-
berating thunderously up and down
the corridors and swirling in eddies
through various offices. Likewise,
there was swelling tide Of discus
sion of the reinstatement in Republi-
can party councils of those insurg-
ents who were excluded after their
break to the La Toilette Wheeler
ticket in 1924.
Attacks New Organization
The farm relief controversy re-
ceived new impetus today with the
publication of an attack by Repre-
sentative Dickinson, Republican,
Iowa, on the business mems commits
sion on agriculture being organized
by the national industrial conference
board and the United States chamber
of commerce to formulate a program

riculture.

Taking up the status of his fellow
insurgents, Representative Nelson
Republican, Wisconsin, leader of the
group in the house, in a statement
published today said he had treason
to know that there are many good
friends in the regular Republican
ranks who are anxious to do the
right thing and l am satisfied that

their proper places in the PARTY
again." He added that he expected
the reconciliation to be effected in q

FOUR ELEVENS

Game Between Alabama and

(By Associated press1

The climax of record shatterine

has left legacy Of greater dispute
over mythical national championship
honors than any campaign in years.

ing elevens in the title debate. Re.
buttals from two or three others fur.
ther cOmplicate the situation.
Game New Years Day
The most conspicuous post-seas0n
prospect, projected New Years
battle at Pasadena between Alaba-
mas southern champions and Pop
Warmers Stanford outfit, title hold
ers on the Pacific coast, may do u
lot to clear the air, but it can't en-
tirely settle the issue. These two
teams share with Lafayette the dis
tinction of being neither tied nor
beaten. Victory at Pasadena for one
or the other would establish ~
strong championship claim as any
contender.
In spite of its spectacular tie with
the Army in Chicago's record-break-
ing service classic, the Navy still re-
CARDS itself as very much in the run
ming when the title laurels are
passed around. simultaneously, the
Army's claims would seem to be on
the same level but the cadets tasted
one defeat, at the hands of Notre
Dame, while the Navy, up to its final
tussle, sank all opposition in nine
successive games against some Of
the most powerful outfits Of the east
or middlewest.
Brown Has . Claim
Brown, too, enters some claim for
recognition in spite of having its
winning streak checked by final
tie with Colgate. Notre Dame after
eight straight victories over rugged
foes, and q defensive record Of yield
ing only one touchdown, had its case
all ready for argument until Car
negie swooped over the prostrate
Hoosiers in an astonishing 10 to 0
upheaval..
Notre Danes elimination left the
iniddlewest without q real national
title contender for the first time in
years.

tee Record Before Jury
Prosecution Victory

Washington, Nov. 29.-LN-Edward
l.. Doheny's own story of his $l0O,OO0
transaction with Albert B. Fall, as
told before the senate oil committee
was admitted in evidence today in
the Doheny-Fall oil conspiracy trial.
Justice Hoehling's decision, placing
the senate committee record before
the jury, was q sweeping victory for
the prosecution, but is expected to
become one basis Of an appeal by the
defense in case the former cabinet
official and the oil man are convicted
The justice acted after long argu-
ment by attorneys, who presented
their contentious while the jury was
excluded from the court room.
The decision opened the way for
the prosecution to continue its pre-
sentation Of evidence on which it
hopes to prove that the 100000 was
part Of conspiracy which resulted
in award Of the Elk Hills Gil lease to
Doheny while Fall was secretary OF
the interior.
Sweeping Opinion
/ The courts opinion was sweeping
It overruled every objection raised by
the defense and permitted the state
ment made to the committee by Fall
to 60 before the jury along with that
of Doheny. In this statement, sub
mitted to the committee in writing
Fall sail the 100000 with which he
purchased additional ranch property

Mclean, publisher Of the Washington
Post.
Prosecution attorneys indicated in
their opening statement that they re.
garded it as important to their case
to show that the former interior
secretary sought to conceal the
source Of the money.
Appeared Voluntarily
The Doheny testimony was given
before the committee in January
1924, when the oil magnate appeared
q second time at his own request and
said that to aid Fall, an old time
friend, he had advanced the ther
cabinet member 100000 as u private
loan.
Justice Hoehling held that neither
the Doheny testimony nor the state
ment Of Fall constituted evidence
within the meaning Of section 859 Of
the revised statutes, which prohib
