BORAH OPPOSES BILL
fBv Dispatcl, A. p. wire)

WASHINGTON, June 17.-tWith lead
ers prodding senators to speed up their
arguments so a vote on farm legisla-
ton may be taken before the end of
the week, debate on the McNary bill
rovolved today mainly around ex-
changes between two senator's from
the west and two from the south.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
announced his opposition to the bill,
while Senator Johnson. republican,
California, endorsed it as economically
sound. Senator Randell, democrat,
Louisiana, opposing the measure, took
issue with Senator Caraway, democrat,
Arkansas, who argued ror it.
Late in the day when it appeared a
vote was imminent, Senator Willis,
republican Ohio, took the floor and
discussed the house cooperative mar
l1eting hill to which the McNary pro-
posal is attached as rider.
This was the first time that the
cooperative marketing provisions had
received attention since the legisla
ton came before the senate. The Ohio
senator Immediately drew the fire of
Senator'S Heflin, Alabama, and Tram
NELL, democrat, who declared they op-
posed his amendment which proposed
to tsrike naval stores out of the meas
ure.
Senator Borah assailed the McNary
rider as unconstitutional because, he
said, it attempted to confiscate one
farmers property for the benefit of
another through application Of the
equalization fee.
He Informed supporters of the bill
that he would waive his other objec-
tions if they struck this provision out,
but that he thought too much of the
farmers to place them under the con-
troll of a board with "drastic and un-
defined power, from which he had no
appeal"
Congress has no power he contin-
ued, "to give a board unlimited discre-
tion in levying a fee to be based upon
estimates of losses. You cannot COM
pei or drive a farmer into a coopera-
tive organization"
Coming to the bills support, Senator
Johnson said he was willing to try it
as an experiment, although he did not
believe "any individual on the face
of the earth can foretell what will be
the result oa the workings of the
measure"
Il am willing in an experiment" he
continued, "to devote millions OF dol
lars, or hundreds of millions, to Ameri-
can farmers when in this body we vote
billions of dollars to Europeans If we
are so ready to stabilize Europe, why
not make the experiment to stabilize
America, too?

NEED FOR LAWS

ley Dispatch A. ?. wirel

WASHINGTON, June 17.-An attack
was launched in the house today
against the administration as being
responsible for the decision of con-
gressional leaders not to act at this
session on coal legislation. 1t was
met by a bipartisan defense by
members from coal districts and
brought remedial suggestions varying
from government ownership of mines
to licensing of retailers.
Representative La Guardia, progress
sive-socialist, New York urged almost
absolute control of the industry, while
Representative Wynant, republican,
Pennsylvania, advocated licensing re-
tailers, whom he blamed for recent
exorbitant prices, with revocation OF
the license as a penalty for "extor-
ton.

Arch Enemy of VOlsteadism

GETS $4,000 P AY
General Counsel Of Anti
Saloon League Admits
Dry Law Prosecutions.
(By Dispatch A. L. wire)

WASHINGTON, June II.
The high apostle and the
arch enemy Of Volsteadism
finally came face to face
today across the narrow
strip Of a committee table
in senate investigation.
Wayne B. Wheeler, gen
eral counsel of the Anti
Saloon league, occupied the
witness chair. Senator
James A. Reed, of Missouri,
famed as a cross-eXaminer,
piled him with a fire of
questions. For an hour and
a half in the forenoon and
again tonight the battle Of
legal wits went forward as
the fiery Missourian had
his chance at last to inquire
into the activities Of the
league financial, political
and legislative.
The dry leader gave freely of the
information at his command, includ-
ing his age and his salary-$s,o 600
year-and agreed to furnish such
other facts as the committee might
desire.
Wheeler was called rs witness
IN the senate investigation of the
S2,OO0,0OO Pennsylvania republican pri-
mary, but during the first encounter
that subject was touched upon only
once or twice and then by the dry
leader, who explained that he had
not equipped himself with certain in
formation because he did not as
sumo that it touched upon the pri-
mary.

Is HELD
FOLLOWING BIG
l.. A. EXPLOSION
(By Dispatch A. p. Wire)

LOS ANGELES, June 1.-Two per-
sons were arrested today in connection
with succession of five dynamite
explosions which wrecked a theatre
and business block on the east side
here early today One of those held
on suspicion is William Graham, born
in Russia, but a British subject, whose
real name is William Graczebsky. The
second suspect was Elias Eisenberg
who was released later.
Investigators found 1874 unexploded
sticks of dynamite and gasoline and
oil planted throughout the building
after the first five blasts had wrecked
the place and rocked the entire neigh
borhood. They declared it a miracle
that these had not added to the disas-
ter and taken scores of lives In toll.
Graham was proprietor of a candy
store in the partially wrecked build
ing. In his store were found So un-
exploded dynamitee sticks and fuses
while the place had been saturated
with gasoline. Eisenberg, a sewing
machine salesman, police were inform
ed, had threatened Graham. Detec-
tives expressed the opinion that the
plot was the result of grudge. Gra-
ham had made himself unpopular in
the neighborhood, they say, by his
quarrels with neighbors. Whether he
did this purposely or was the victim of
circumstances, the police are seeking
to determine.
When the series of explosions oc-
Cured about 4 o'clock this morning,
scores of windows in the locality were
shattered, chimneys rocked and sleep
ing citizens, suddenly reused, dashed
into the streets, terrified.

every phase of the subject.
There are three things in connection
with the Colorado river with which
Arizona is concerned, stated the
speaker These are power, use OF water
for irrigation, and taxation. He added
that the power situation is the sim-
plest thing in the world, and that the
whole problem is misunderstood be-
cause it has been willfully and care
lessly misrepresented. In eIucidation
of this situation, he said that develop
ing the Colorado river is the same
thing as locating claim or ohme-
stealing, as far as rights are con,
cerned, for by federal and state law,
all public domains within the state
belong to the United States.
Pickett briefly reviewed the history
of Arizona which became the property
of the United States when purchased
from Mexico; which was a territory
from 1854 to 1911; and which became
a state in 1911 when the United States
passed the enabling act allowing its
statehood.
But the speaker explained, further
more that in that enabling act the
United States reserved all mineral
lands and all lands active or prospec-
tive in power development. This samv
provision of the enabling act was re-
enacted in the state constitution it,
section six, article ten. Therefore, the
Colorado river power is reserved by
the United States and the state of
Arizona has acquiesced in that reser.
walton in her own constitution.
The speaker added weight to his re-
marks by statement of the fact that
he made the same assertions in the
Ie gislature when chairman of the judi.

(By Dispatch A. p. wire)

-
WASHINGTON, June 17.-With
number of important legislative vs.
sues still hanging fire and final ac-
ton on most of them unlikely before
adjournment, house and senate lead
ers predicted today that the present
session of congress would be brought
to a close Saturday, June 20.
A resolution proposing sine die ad-
iournment on that date is expected
to be offered in the house Monday
It will have the support of Speaker
Longworth, Representative Tilson, the
republican leader, Chairman Smell OIL
the rules committee, and others, al
though Chairman Madden of the ap-
propriations committee, one of the
powers in the house, has indicated ne
will oppose a getaway until final
action is had on the rivers and har-
bors bill, now pending before SEN
ate committee.
The plan to wind up business and
go home nine days hence meets with
the approval of republican leaders in
the senate, who expressed the belief
that, the legislative decks could be
cleared for adjournment then.
Snator Robinson, the democratic
leader, not only said he favored a
getaway at the end of next week,
but thought it would be good for the
country.

journment program meets with Presi-
