BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

The Senate IS about to demonstrate
to Vice President Dawes that II can
end q filibuster whenever 1t really
desires to do SO and can force a vote
when a large majority Of Senator'S de-
sire a vote.
This Is the Senate's answer to the
Vice Presidents charges that one man
can tie the legislation of the country
into double bowknots. 1t is the Sen
ate's demonstration Of the fact that
it's rules need not be changed. The
senate never will stand for the steam
roller" methods IN vogue in the House
Of Representatives, and Senators
claim that is what Mr.. Dawes would
force upon them If he could have his
way. All of which Is probably true.
Mr.. Dawes always has been a fast
worker. He would like to cut the
sessions Of Congress to about three
weeks each. One can easily sympa-
thtze with such an aim on the part
If a man compelled to preside over
he Senate day after day in the long
draWn-out debates.
Gen. Dawes has failed to fathom.
or in any event has failed to take
into consideration. the difference be-
tween Senate rules and senatorial
courtesy. 1t Is, in fact. senatorial
courtesy which permits Senators to
get up and talk forever on every
subject under the sun except the
parttcular bit of business presuma-
bly, before the body. This has been
an age-long custom In the Senate.
1t is a sort of gentleman's agree
ment and If Senators choose to vio-
late It, or take advantage of 1t, they
alone are responsible.
The Senate always has had II in

WILL SHOW DAWES
HOW TO STOP FILIBUSTERS SOON
But Adhere to Age-Old Customs of Senatorial
Courtesy of Listening

It's power to end the debate on the
World Court in short order. SEN
atorS simply have not cared to In
woke the rules. 1t has permitted the
Blease Borah Johnson Reed tilibuster
to proceed partly through senatorial
courtesy and partly through the be-
lief that 1t was better to let the
opposition wear Itself out than to
clamp down the Cloture gag.
The fllibuster has continued also, II
the truth must be known. because
there is no great zeal for the World
Court in any part Of the Senate. Sen
ators favor it and favor IT strongly,
but only few Of them take 1t as a
personal matter. Nearly every Sena-
tor favoring the court is willing to let
the other Senator do the fighting for
it. The Democrats, committed as a
party for the court, have been more or
less content to sit by and laugh at
the troubles of the Republican lead
ers in trying to bring this Coolidge
policy" to vote.
Reluctantly the petition to end the
debate has been brought forward.
The reluctance, as already stated, Is
due entirely to that old precedent of
senatorial courtesy - the courtesy
which gives each Senator the right to
be heard on every issue. There is no
such courtesy in the House of Repre-
sentattves. There couldn't be. If 96
Senators. under courtesy rules can
delay action as they do, 1t Is easy to
imagine what 435 Representatives
could accomplish under similar con-
ditions.
Vice President Dawes. nevertheless,
Is about to see the Senate function
under its own methods.

TWO RADIO AMATEURS
ESTABLISH RECORDS
5000 Miles in Daylight and 10000
Miles at Night Marks Set
by Californians.
Special Dispatch to The Star


SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, January
23.-Radio communication 5000 miles
by daylight or 5000 miles through
darkness is the distance record
achieved by two California radio anna
teurs, members Of the American Radio
Relay League. The first one, Bran
don Wentworth, noted as the man
who established communication with
Santa Barbara after that city was
hit by the earthquake last Spring
established two-way communication
with the British amateur radio sta
ton 2SZ of w. II. Brown, Mill Hill
School, London.
While Wentworth's station, Sol. is
piltng up records, a fellow member
of the league, Col. Clair Foster of
Carmel, Calf. is putting his signals
over the same route and copying
British signals with a regularity that
has decided him to try working Eng
land on a regular schedule.
BY a peculiar coincidence the sig
nails Of each California station fur
nishes check for the other. Went
worth accomplished his first two-way
contact at about 7:45 am. the same
time that Col. Foster worked. The
distance eastward Is about 5000 miles
and this is all through daylight at
that time of day. The westward dis
tance is in the vicinity of 1000 miles,
partly through daylight and partly
through darkness. In either direction
the distance is record-breaking.
Experts who have reviewed the
respective records are inclined to
think that the signals travelled west
ward over the longer route, since at
the time Col. Fosters station was
being copied in England signals from
station 1HR Of Lieut.. H. P. Roberts,
at Fort Mckinley. Rial, Philippine
Islands, was heard by the British
amateurs with a considerably greater
signal strength.

VOLCANO ERUPTION
PERIL DESCRIBED
Lecturers Experience on Andean
Peak Shows One Staying Near
Enough Is Fairly Safe.

Stay near enough to q volcano In
eruption and you are fairly safe.
That, at least, was the experience of
G. NJ. Dyott, English explorer, who
enjoyed that position of dubious
safety on the rim of Tungurahua, an
Andean volcanic peak, during a 1000
mile trip across little-known sections
of the Andes and through the upper
Amazon jungles, which he related to
members of the National Geographic
Society at the New Masonic Temple
last evening.
Mr.. Dyott was the first to ascend
that peak. and also the first white
man to venture up Sangai, which has
been called the worlds most active
volcano" and another unknown An
dean peak, Sumacu. He and his COM
panion faced the dangers of a three
month sojourn in the jungles, beset
by a variety Of insect pests, with the
companionship Of monkeys and tapirs,
after their raft had been washed away
by a food and they had to build a
new one.
The speaker showed motion pic.
lures of parts of the jungles of the
upper Amazon, where the white man
of the caterpillars. beetles, lizards,
giant spiders and butterflies thrown
on the serene portrayed types seldom
reported to civilization.
Some of the interesting motion pic
lures were of beautiful stretches Of
the river, specimens of the stalwart
Aquaruna Indians, whose women are
popular for their strength and their
beauty, but whose attire and bobbed
hair bears striking resemblance to
current civilized fashions.

Violation of Law
By Dry Agents Is
Admitted in Court
BY the Associated Press.


For the second time in recent
weeks. the Department of Justice
went before the Supreme Court
yesterday and admitted that law
enforcement agents had violated
the law in their efforts to carry
out the Nolstead law.
Solicitor General Mitchell told the
court he could not ask that the
conviction Of Rosario MaccieEo OF
Cleveland be upheld, because search
warrants used in the case were
Illegal and Maccieno's constitu-
tionai rights had been violated. He
added the belief. however, that the
defendant was guilty.
In the previous case, Which came
from Ohio. the solicitor general
held WarrantS were issued without
proper Information, and in the case
dealt with today ne declared the
affidavit on which warrants We're
based came from an agent who
had not even investigated the
premises complained Of. The only
investigation the agent made, the
solicitor general said, was to see
machines drive TO the premises, to
smell the odor Of mash, see men
coming and going, all OF which
convinced" the agent that ''some-
thing was sold there"

SOUGHT IN Staying

of Norwood, Pa, Girl,
Police Believe.
By the Associated Press.

MEDIA. Pa. January ga man
with whom Miss Anna May Dietrich
OF Norwood. Pa. kept a secret tryst
in Philadelphia Tuesday night Is be-
lieved by State and municipal author
tiles to have been her slayer.
Her dismembered body was found
in a woods near here Thursday. Po-
lice learned yesterday she had con-
f1ded to friends Tuesday that she was
going out that evening with "a big
man from the West" They believe
that during the meeting develop
ments occurred which led to the
murder. after which her body was
cut to pieces and all but the head
carried to the lonely woods. where
the torso and legs were found.
The head was discovered today be-
meath the ties Of a Pennsylvania Rail-
road bridge over MAYORS creek near
Bywood, a suburb.
Mr., and Mrs. Alexander Schulz,
brother-in-law and sister of the young
woman. positively identified her body
yesterday.
One Of the clues on which the
county and State police are working
was the report given yesterday by a
farmer near the place where the body
was discovered that he had seen a
Philadelphia taxi cab on the lonely
road adjoining the wood plot early
Thursday morning. The cab is be-
ing traced.
Detectives discovered yesterday.
however, that Miss Dietrich met a
man after o'clock Tuesday evening,
to whom she told her expectation
of attending a theater later with
another, whom she described as a
visitor to the city from the West.
Police believe that he might have
been a salesman who recently
called at the millinery establishment
in the Germantown section of Phil
adelphia where Miss Dietrich had
been employed.

HOUSEFACESV VOTE
ON FORD D|R|C|BLE
Keen Fight Centers on Item
in Naval Bill for ALL
Metal Craft.

Already stripped Of sections carry
ing appropriations totaling s9.000.000
for new aircraft construction for the
next fiscal year, the Navy Department
appropriation bill today faces further
slaShing by the House when il votes
on the elimination of a 100000 item
for a contract with the Aircraft De
velopment Corporation. which is
backed by the Ford interests. for AT
all-metal airship project.
The pruning of the aircraft items
caused an open breach between the
two House committees handling naval
matters. Chairman Butler of the naval
affairs committee charged the appro
priations naval subcommittee with in
fringeing on authority he claimed for
his committee.
Butler Leads Fight.
Mr. Butler led the fight against the
appropriations for new aircraft on the
ground that the expenditure had not
been authorized by his committee.
which, under House rules, has origtnaL
jurisdiction in such matters.
The chair sustained him on points
Of order against provisions in the bill
TO appropriate $4,96200 for new
construction and procurement of air
craft and equipment" and to author
ize the Secretary of the Navy to make
contracts up to S4,1o0.000 for other
new equipment.
Representative French, Republican.
Idaho, who headed the appropriations
naval subcommittee, opposed Mr.. But
ler's contentious, holding that eu-
thority for the expenditures had been
authorized under previous laws, but
was overruled in his position by Rep
resentatiye Lehlbach, Republican,
New Jersey, presiding.
Mr.. LehlbaCh, however, sustained
Mr.. French on the $1,000 item, rul
ing that authority existed for the ap
preparation. and rejecting Mr. Buffers
point of order against the proposal.
The House, by a vote of 95 to 66, suS
tained this ruling when Mr.. Butler ap
pealed from the decision of the chair
Adjourns Before Voting.
Mr.. Butler then offered an amend
ment to eliminate the 100000 section.
but the House adjourned before & vote
was taken.
Although it is not expected an effort
will be made to restore the aircraft
appropriation before final passage OF
the bill, 1t appears probable that Mr..
Buffers committee will authorize
appropriations approximating the
amount eliminated. His opposition
was based solely on the ground OF the
right of the appropriations commit
tee to recommend such expenditures.
He did not question the adviSabil
Of the proposals.
He did, however, question the ad-
| visibility of the 100000 item. Al
though not mentioning either Ford or
the corporation by name. he asserted
his committee was now holding hear
ings to determine a policy for lighter
| than-air development and that the all
| metal project was move to have the
| Government bear part of the ex
pense of experimenting with new
