Senator George Wharton Pepper
returned to the stand to deny two
charges leveled at him by wit.
nesses from the opposing camp.
First he denied he had anything

Baird as prohibition: administrators
in Eastern Pennsylvania at the
height of the campaign.
He then denied the charges OF
Harry A. Mackay, Ware manager,
that he helped to settle a Govern
nent Internal revenue claim for
q man, named Joyce, in LuzerneI
county. in return for the latter's
support.
'sThe fact is that Major William @.
Murdoch had been appointed adj
ministrator in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania on my recommendation. His
resignation was requested by the
department and placed no OBJ
stacle in the way Of his removal.
The department held that he lacked
force"
Senator Reed told Pepper he was
welcome to appear at any time
but added that he would be re-
called at some time, in the future
to be questioned about q new

Vote To Be Close
The vote on the Tess bill, late
today or tomorrow, is expected to
be close. The insurgent RepublI-
cans, !, led by such ordinarily con-
servatives as Watson of Indiana,
and McNary of Oregon, believe they
will win. It is claimed that Is
Republican votes are assured
against the Presidents program,
as well as 80 Democratic votes.
IL these figures are borne out,
the White House is defeated, and
Congress probably will adjourn by

STATES To STOP
SWAMP FIRE

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 24.-Fire
hazard in the vast swampland Of
North Carolina and Virginia, the
Great Dismal, will be stamped out
under a gigantic fire prevention
program now being mapped out BY
forestry officials of the two States,
it was learned here today.
Plans announced by forestry Of.
fieials call for erection of two
giant steel observation towers in
the swamp. one on North Carolina
soil and the other In Virginia.
which will give a wide range Of
vision for the detection Of flames.
In addition to the lookout towers
regular patrols of the vast area
will be made, and a system Of sig
nails and alarms will be inaugur-
ated to, facilitate the checking of
forest blazes.
Expenses for carrying out the
program will be borne by Great
Dismal landowners through self-lm.
posed assessments on pro rata
basis of cents IN acres, 1t was
announced.
