TWO TSSTJES BELIEVED BACK
OF NOMINATION OF BROOKHART
Resentment of Farmers Over Lack of Farm Aid
Legislation and Voters Anger Over Seating of
Steck, Held Causes of Cummins Defeat.

Brookhart. He also was bitterly Ops
posed by many Republican regulars
in the Senate and about one-third OF
the Republican membership Of the
Senate voted with the great majority
of the Democrats to oust Brookhart.
The probable net result of these
efforts has been to substitute a Steck
for a Cummins, a Democrat for a
regular Republican. For 1t is un-
likely that the Democrats will be
able to elect a second Senator from
Iowa next November, even though
many OF the regular Republicans
should vote for him. Should they do
so how would it benefit the Repub-
lican organization of the Senate and
the administration in Washington?
They would merely cause Iowa to be
represented by two Democrats instead
of one Democrat and Brookhart. In
the matter of organizing the Senate
Brookhart has voted with the Re-
pubicans, even though he was read
out of the party councils in 1924
after he had supported La Toilette
for President. He insists he Is q
Republican. With the Republicans
struggling desperately to retain con-
troll of the Senate in the next session
Brookhart would be far better than
Il Democrat.

fading as full and authentic details
arrive in the capital with the reorgan-
ization Of the telegraph and transpor-

The loss Of life seems to have been

railway rolling stock and roadbeds the
most serious feature. The main vio-
lence Of the storms was concentrated
in the Kingdom of Rumania proper,
although Pennsylvania and Bessarabia
also felt the effects.
The flood waters in the towns of
BuZen and PloeSti are rapidly subsid-
ing with the cessation of rain. The
ministry of agriculture states the
storms did little damage to farmlands
and that crop conditions are excellent
throughout the country.

Politics centering around farm reller
legislation and the rivers and harbors
bill, the latter described as the choicest
bit Of political pork that has passed
either house of Congress in years,
threatens to interfere seriously with
an early adjournment of Congress.
President Coolidge, who is known
to have been especially anxious to see
Congress through and away from
Washington as early this month as
possible, has been advised of the
gathering of the storm clouds at the
Capitol, which warnings are now be-
ing looked upon with considerable con-
Germ, if not downright alarm.
Notice has been served on the SEN
ate that a ajorty of the House mem
bership is inSiStent upon the enact
ment of the rivers and harbors bill,
which passed the House last week.
before this session of Congress is con
cluded, and some Senate leaders have
retorted that the only way this can
be accomplished is for the House to
prove that ii can stay in Washington
just as long as the Senate. In other
words, the opposition in the Senate
to certain provisio rs OF the House
nounced that there is said TO be no
chance for its passage. TO attempt
this as q means of eXpediting adjourn

BRAZILIAN RUMORS
SURPRISE LEAGUE
Nations Delegation at &C.
neva Has Received No Word
of Withdrawal.
BY the Associated Press.

GENEVA, June S.-Members of the
Brazilian delegation of the League of
Nations told the Associated Press to-
day they knew nothing about the re-
ported intention of their country to re-
sign from the league, as suggested in
a dispatch from Rio de Janeiro.
"a Rio de Janeiro dispatch late la st
night quoted the newspaper o Globo
as announcing Brazil's withdrawal
from the league. The paper said
formal notification of the resignation
would be sent to Geneva within a few
Weeks.1
Afranio Mello Franco, the chief Bra
lillian delegate, who did not attend yes
terday'S council meeting because OF
illness, was still indisposed today and
was receiving no one.
Brazil Still Active.
Spokesman for the Brazilian dele
cation said Brazil was still taking
part in the leagues activities, includ-
ing the disarmament pourparlers, in
which the republic is represented by
two delegates. and that it seemed
likely DR.. Mello Franco would attend
tomorrows session of the council.
The spokesman added that DR.. Mello
Franco might even attend this after.
Moons meeting Of the councils sub
committee. and pointed out that all
this did not indicate that Brazil had
virtually severed connection with the
league, as stated in the dispatch from
Rio de Janeiro.
The report that Brazil was to resign
created a tremendous stir in League
circles. 1t was remarked by some that
the Rio de Janeiro government might
have taken such a decision. the Bra
lillian delegates here not yet being
aware of it.
No Word Sent to League.
League officials declared they had
received no information confirming the
Rio de Janeiro report. They remarked
that under Article I Of the covenant,
no member can leave the League
without giving two years previous
notice of it's intention to resign. Thus,
even If Brazil announces her resigna-
ton. she will automatically continue
in her rights as we'll as duties Of mem
berShip for two years more.
League circles have generally re-
garded Brazil's present policy as di-
rected toward receiving pledges that
the great powers will support her con-
stant reelection to her non npermanent
seat in the council.
Notice was sent to DR.. Mello Franco
of this afternoons session of the
councils subcommittee on minorities.
of which he is a leading member.

FORMER D. c. MAN
IS FOUND KILLED
Lyman F. Campbell Believed
to Have Been Slain in
Cleveland.

Lyman f. Campbell, As wears old,
for many years prominent in the
business life of Washington and liv-
ing here at 1907 Montana avenue
northeast. was killed in Cleveland
early Sunday morning under mysteri-
Gus circumstances. 1t is suspected
that Mr. Campbell was beaten TO
death by robbers, who disappeared
without leaving a trace as to their
identity.
Mr. Campbell who was assistant
manager of the Washington office Of
the McCray Refrigerator Co, went to
Cleveland about two weeks ago to as
sumo managership of the same com
pany's Ohio branch. His body was
found lying in the middle of one of
Cleveland'S busiest thorOughfareS

rectly in front of the Central Y. NJ.

Police of the Ohio city. il is said
have been unable to trace Mr.. Camp
bells activities from the time he left
his hotel early Saturday evening to
go to his office to straighten out some
details. 1t is believed, however. that
he left the office sometime about l

back to his hotel.
Believed Beaten to Death.
The next time he was seen was
when pedestrians found his body lying
in the middle of the main business
thoroughfare. At first it was be-
lieved he had been run down by a
street car or a motOriSt. but an
autopsy disclosed that his injuries
were confined to his head, indicating
that he had been slugged with black
jacks. The fact that his watch and
possibly a brief case and some money
were missing lends substantiation tc
the homicide theory.
Conflicting reports We're received by
Mr.. Campbells family here Sunday
morning, and Jay keegan, a brother
in-law, living at 2540 Massachusetts
avenue, went to Cleveland to claim
the body He brought it back to
Washington today, having been de-
tanned in Ohio by an official autopsy
and the necessary coronerS inquest.
The inuuest, it is said, left the cause
of death for further investigation.
Born in Canada.
Other members of the family de-
been discovered, but they said the
McCray Refrigeration Co. had de-
manded that the police push the mys-
terry to an early solution. The coro-
ners jury is said to have returned an
ambiguous verdict, declaring, in sub
stance. that Mr.. Campbell had met
an accidental death due to unknown
causes"
Mr.. Campbell was born in Ontario,
Canada, but had lived in the United
States for more than 20 years. He
had been attached to the Washington
office of the McCray Refrigeration Co.
for many years and was we'll known
in local business circles. Besides his
wife. Mrs. Mamie NJ. Campbell, he
