LIES IN OWN HANDS
House to Take No Further
Action and Presidents
Stand Is Unchanged.

The case of Commissioner Frederick
A. Fenning rested with the Commits
sioner himself today.
And while some members of the
House were ready and willing TO
state that they had definite" infor-
nation that he intended to re esign as
soon rs Congress goes home, none of
them was willing to have his name
used as authority for such informa
ton. and Mr. Fenning himself left
Washington on an automobile trip
which may keep him out of town until
Wednesday. when. according to plans
he made before leaving. he will return
to his desk at the District Building.
In the mean time the report of the
House judiciary committee which eX-
onerated him of any violation of law
or misconduct as alleged in the
articles of Impeachment filed against
him, but which at the same time con-
demned his practice, lay on the Speak
er's table in the House and there was
nothing to indicate that it would be
called up The House, apparently, is
through.
One prominent member of the House
was authority for the statement today
that the full report on the Fenning
case has been delivered to the Depart
ment OF Justice, but, nothing TO con-
firm this report was available there.
1t was also stated that the report
was yesterday delivered to the Presi-
dent by the Attorney General himself,
but this was denied at the White
House by a spokesman for the Presi-
dent, who asserted that there had
been no developments in the case
which changed the Presidents origi-
nal plan of action. That plan. as out
lined at the White House at the time.
was that the President informally had
asked the Department of Justice to
keep an eye on developments while
the case was being investigated by
the judiciary committee. If the De-
partment of Justice found anything
which was considered important in
formation for the President, it would
be SO reported. Former Representa-
tive Oscar r. Luhring. now an AS
sistant Attorney General, has been fol-
lowing the tenning case for the De-
partment of Justice. He is now out
of town and has been away for sew
eral days.

Conferees Accept $1,000
Plan and Speed Final Ac-
ton in Closing Hours.
MEASURE NOW AWAITS
ACCEPTANCE BY HOUSE
Agreement Reached Through Ef-
forts of Federal Employees to Get
Some Law This Session.

An increase from S720 to 81 900 in
the maximum annuity for retired Gov
ernment employees was practically as
sured this afternoon when the Senate
agreed to the conference report on the
House retirement bill one hour before
adjournment. All that remains is, for
Representative Lehlbach to report the
conference agreement to the House
and ask for the acceptance of certain
minor administrative features of the
Senate bill.
The deadlock was broken just be-
fore the hour of adjournment this
afternoon, when the 'conferees agreed
to take the House plan for a $1,000
maximum annuity and contribu-
ton of 3l2 per cent by the en-
plOyes.
One hour before the time set for
adj' urnment of the session the con-
ferees were signing the report.
For more than a month the con
ferees have been widely apart. the
Senate having approved $1,000
annuity with per cent contrlbu
tion. The House bill, which the
conferees have accepted largely, does
not increase the liability of the Gov
ernment. The Senate bill would have
increased the Government share of
the costs, and the Senate conferees-
Senators Couzens, Stanfield and Me
Kellar-held out until the last against
the House bill, because they felt it
unfair to the employees not to increase
proportionately the Government por-
ton of the cost of retirement.
During the past few days. however,
representatives of the employees or
CARNATIONS have been appealing for
the House bill rather than lose all
legislation. They were actuated By
a desire to afford relief to the 10000
men and women already on the re-
tired list, who cannot receive more
than $3.50 under the present law.

NORRIS QU|TSPOST
ON FARMS GROUP
Resigns as Chairman of Sen
ate Committee-At Odds
With President.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Senator George Norris. the Republi-
can insurgent from Nebraska, who on
many occasions has found himself
at odds with the Coolidge administra-
the Senate agricultural committee.
AS soon as it met today the Senate
accepted the resignation without de-
bate.
The retirement of Norris leaves
as the ranking Republican on the
committee another Senator, who has
disagreed with the President on farm
relief legislation, McNary of Oregon.
He was the author of the McNary
farm equalization fee bill, voted down
by a margin of six votes with the
help of administration Senators.
Senator Norris said he was retir-
ing from the Craftsmanship in order
to have time to investigate import
ant legislative questions, which the
routine work of the committee now
prevents.
McNary Is Agreeable.
Senator McNary said he would ac
cept the craftsmanship and continue
his fight at the next session for farm
relief legislation This will involve his
retirement as chairman of the com
mittee on irrigation and reclamation.
Announcement of Senator Norris
retirement came as a surprise to the
Senate and, coupled with his recent
Endorsement of William b. Wilson, the
Democratic candidate for the Senate
from Pennsylvania. led to much dis.
cussion in the corridors of the future
relations between him and the Repub-
liCan party.
Issues Statement.
He threw little light on that SUBJ
iect in a formal statement issued
later 1t said: II have resigned as
chaigman of the Senate committee on
agriculture and forestry because the
numerous details connected with the
work of that committee take up so
much Of my time that it is an impos-
sibility for me to give attention to
many subjects of legislation in which
l am deeply interested and to which
1 intend to devote a great deal of my
time.
II have contemplated this step for
more than a year. 1 still retain my
membership on the committee and
will continue to work as 1 have in the
past for any legislation having for
it's object the relief of agriculture
THE step / have taken relieves me
from giving attention to the many
details connected with the bills that
are referred to that committee for
consideration, and will leave me free
to consider any questions of legisla.
ton that I cannot investigate If I re-
tain the chairmanship.'
