First Consideration

Washington, June 3.-(R-Federal
buildings authorized by Congress dur
ing the last Is years, but uncomplet-
ed because of inadequate funds. will
gain first consideration in the govern
ment's construction program as de-
cided upon today by the treasury and
post office departments.
The S165.O00,000 public buildings bill
recently passed authorized an appro-
priation of S15.000,000 for the COM
pletion Of 66 projects. most of them
authorized in 1913. About half Of that
appropriation will be sought immedi-
ately so that work may be begun on
some of the projects this summer.
First attention will, be given to
larger cities on the list and with work
started on this program it is the plan
of Secretary Mellon and Postmaster
General New to conduct nationwide
survey to determine the needs of va
rious cities for which $100,0O0,00O
was authorized in the recent bill 1t is
hoped to complete it by fall so that
the first installment of the money
needed may be appropriated at the
next session of Congress and work
started next spring.
The cities in which 1t is planned 70

special senate committee directed to
investigate expenditures in Senate
rial primary and election campaigns
this year organized today with the
election Of Senator Reed, Democrat,
Missouri, as chairman.
It will meet tomorrow to map out
a preliminary program.
The committee had its first meet
ing after the Senate had adopted a
resolution limiting it's expenses to

the inauguration of the inquiry will
be deferred until after Congress adj
journs, SO the members will be free

POnzi in Doubt
What Court He
Should Heed Call of

Jacksonville, Fla, June 3-(P-
Charles Ponzi, erstwhile foreign ex-
change wizard" today expressed a
desire to return to Massachusetts, and
appeal his conviction in the state
courts to the u. S. Supreme court.
Ponzi said he was deferred from
making this move by the fact that 1t
would imperil those who furnished
his bond here when he appealed his
conviction on charges of illegal real
estate operations to the Florida Su-
preme court.
Counsel for Ponzi said his client
is between the proverbial devil and
the deep blue sea. Of he went back
to Massachusetts" said Attorney
Scarborough, without requisition
papers he would endanger the inter-
ests of his bondsmen here by leaving
the jurisdiction of the court. At the
same time, his bond of $4,000 in
Massachusetts will be in danger
should he not appear in court for
sentence on the stipulated date"
Ponzi visited Duval county, autho-
rites today and was advised to con-
fer with his attorney. 1t is expect
ed his next move will be to ask the
State of Massachusetts to issue req
uisition papers for him. Should these
be honored by Gov. Martin, his
DO -dsmen could deliver him to the
sheriff and be relieved of further re-
sponsibility. Such a course would
enable Ponzi to exercise his right of
appeal when the MASSACHUSETTS court
passes sentence; upon him.

nents of the measure expressing a
determination to keep the House in

is reached.
Later in the afternoon, after a

Representative Sosnowski, Republic
can, Michigan. was the center. the
House got down to consideration of
the bill. Another fight Immediately

TIED TO each membe to five minutes
on each OF the nine sections or on
each of the 165 paragraphs.
Representative Lehlbach, Republi-
can, New Jersey, presiding ruled that
it should be read by paragraphs.
Friends of the proposal fearing an
extended filibuster, supported a mo-
ton by Representative Madden, Re-
publican, Illinois, to override the rul-
ing. This was done by a vote of 81
to "a, the result indicating that for
the time being at least supporters Of
the bill were in the majority.
The Illinois river project linked
with water diversions from the Great

Detroit, Mich, June 3-(P)-The
Ford Motor Company made net pro-
fits of s526,441.951 for the seven year
period from 1917 to 1924, Herbert L.
Lester chief auditor of the company,
testified in United States district
court here yesterday. The gross pro-
fits for the same years, the auditor
said, were $S76,176,230.
The testimony was given before
William S. Sayres, Jr., master in
chancery, in hearing to fix the am
cunt due to the Parker Rustproof
Company for infringement by the
Ford company on patent in a rust
proofing process. Judge Arthur j.
Tuttle ruled in 1925 that there has
been an infringement.
Lester testified none of the profits
had been made on the rust-proofing
because 1t had not been used as a
selling inducement at any time. The
auditor told the court the peak year
of the company's business was in
1922 when there were gross profits Of
$152394,S94 and net profits of $115,-
797.361.

firm of accountants testified for the
Parker Company that the net profits
of the Ford Motor Company for the
