SENATE VOTES
GOULD INQUIRY.
BY 70 TO 7 VOTE

WASHINGTON, Dee 7-R)-The sem
ate today voted, 70 to Z, to bring the
past activities of Arthur II. Gould, new
republican senator from Maine, under
the scrutiny of a senate committee.
The action was taken at the request
Of Senator Gould after Senator Walsh,
democrat, Montana, had challenged
his qualifications. In q resolution,
Walsh had proposed an inquiry into
charges that 12 years ago Gould was
involved in the bribery of q Sanadian
official in connection with IL railroad
contract
Plans of republican leaders to have
the resolution referred 10 a committee
were upset when Senator Gould arose
and declared he would welcome an in
vestigation of his past conduct, and
there was nothing in the resolution
that could embarrass him.
This announcement came at the con-
clusion of a profound discussion of
the merist of the resolution by it's au
thor who declared politics did not en-
ter into the case as expulsion of Gould
would not seat his democratic oppon
ent Senator Walsh said he was
prompted by the high motive of up
holding the integrity of the senate.
Senator Hale, republican, Maine, j
came to the defense of his colleague,
who, he declared, had been completely
vindicated by the people of Maine after,
thorough airing of the charges dur
ing the recent political campaign This
vindication, he added, was shown con-
clusively by the Overwhelming victory
of Gould at the polls The roll call
found only seven senator's opposing
passage of the resolution one demo-
.crat, Blease, South Carolina, and six
republicans: B II g h m, Connecticut;
Moses, New Hampshire; Phfpps, Colo
rado; Reed Pennsylvania; Schall Min
nesota, and Wadsworth, New York.

.YAVAPAI SWEPT.
BY SNOW STORM
and HARD rain

PRESCOTT, Dec. Ui-With powc {
lines dragging ON the ground or
broken off entirely, all roads except
the main highways blocked and every
rill bank full, Yavapai county looked
with mixed feelings today on the
first snow Of the winter which be-
gan yesterday as a drizzle.
Sheep and stockmen looked upon
the rain and snowfall as the mos
generous and timely in four winters.
Four inches of snow was reported to
have fallen on the flat valley floors
sout hof here, insuring the most
bountiful water supply in years for
desert sheep pasturage and for the
mountain summer ranges.
Sheep drives that have been delayed
owing to the shortage OF water
along the drive-ways to The desert
can be undertaken now with pros
poets of feed and water all along the
route. Small tanks for holding
stock water, dry or almost dry since
the summer rains, now are filling
and probably will overflow. Much
of the run-off will go south through
the several wa.er courses into the
Salt river valley.
on the other hand, seven major
breaks in power lines had occurred
and had been repaired by the COM
pany, but other trouble found the

VETS BUREAU IS
TO IMPROVE IT'S
TUCSON HOSPICE

WASHINGTON, Dec. P-Liberal-
ization of World war veterans leg
islation sent thousands of soldier
patients of all types to veterans bu-
reau and other government hospitals
during the last fiscal year, and over
taxed the 81 bureau institutions that
were in operation.
AS a result the bureau announced,
in its annual report today, that IT
contemplated building extensive ad-
ditional facilities to, cope with the
situation, particularly with regard to
neuropsychiiatric patients, of which
there is an ever increasing load.
In addition to about 1000 more
beds which now are being provided
in three hospitals, the bureau plans
to set up more than 1,400 others by
new construction and replacement of
leased hospitals. The proposed pro-
gram calls for:
Replacement of the temporary
tuberculosis facilities at Tucson,
Ariz, and Alexandria, La
An 500 bed neuropsychiatric hos-
pital at North Port, y. Y.
A 332-bed addition to the neuro :
.psychiaric hospital at Palo Alto, Calii.
A 211-bed addition to the neuro-
psychiatric hospital az North Chicago.
Replacement of the lease hospitals
at West Roxbury, Mass, by a 800
bed neuropsychiatric hospital ut Bed
ford, Mass.
Erection of new hospital at
Portland Ore, to replace the leased
institution there.
Replacement of curtain temporary
tuberculosis facilities at Oteen, Q.
Erection of SO general medical and
surgical beds for observation cases
in conjunction with the building Of
administrative facilities for the
regional office at Fargo, n. d.

that additional beds will have to be
provided ut certain neuropsychiatric
hospitals to accommodate the grow
ing load perculiar to that type, and
that it would have to replace the

RELIEF
LEGISLATION Is
TO BE SOUGHT

CHICAGO, Dec 7.-(P-Farm relief
legislation, calling for a federal farm
board to administer its provisions, will
be endorsed tomorrow in resolutions
offered to the American Farm Bureau
federation, but the committee on reso-
lutions found a difference in opinion
today among it's members over the
equalization fee.
Southern members of the committee
are understood to have represented the
cotton belt as unconvinced of the wis
dom of assessing a compulsory equali-
zation fee, while the corn belt is COM
mitted to it. Belief among delegates
is that the resolutions of federal agri-
culture relief will fully carry endorse
ment of the equalization Fee with
some alterations from the form in
which it is proposed to congress in the
unsuccessful Haugen bills. The com
mittee on resolutions is headed by a
southerner, Edward A. O'Neal of Ala
bama, and includes Charles E. Heart
of Iowa, William Settle of Indiana
c. S. Brown of Arizona and George
NJ Putnam of New Hampshire.
An expression on Muscle Shoals may
also be expected from the resolutions
committee, members said, but it is
likely to coincide with the previously y
expressed view of the federations di-
rectors that the Alabama power prof.
ect must be disposed of in such a way
as to insure cheap fertilizer to the

the controversy were attracted By
the possibility of "a disruption of the
spirit of western unity which has
formed the keynote of the conven-
ticn's deliberations Numerous par
ties from Denver, Cheyenne, Utah

into the convention hall as Gov

as the first of three, speakers to
discuss the river controversy. Mayor

CONGRESS IS
N FOR HARD
THREE MONTHS

WASHINGTON, Dec. z
(AP)-With receipt of a
thick sheaf of recommends
tion from the White House
and the opening of the
doors to general debate,
congress got a fair fore
taste today of what it is in
for during the three months
session ahead.
AS if pre-arranged to epitomize
the legislative troubles in the of
fling, the days developments touched
successively on dozen old congress
sional quarrels and several new
ones The familiar issues of pro-
hibition, taxes, farm relief, the world
court, Muscle Shoals and Boulder
canyon all had a place in the pic
ture. and the newcomers included a
proposal to outlaw poison gas in
warfare and senatorial investiga-
tion.
President coolidge's annual mes
sage, sent to the capitol By messenger
and read by clerks in both senate
and house. was listened to with
about the usual attention and evok-
ed the usual praise from republicans
and disapproval from democrats.
Imm mediately the reading was over
the senate struck into the actual
work of the session, but the house
fingered only long enough to let in
a new batch of bills and resolutions
and then adjourned for the day cut
of respect for Uncle Joe Cannon, for
many years its speaker.
The afternoons proceedings in the
senate showed that branch of the
legislative machine functioning in
mid-season form. First of all, it
ground out resolution of investi-
cation. voting 20 to to inquire
whether Arthur r. Gould. the new
senator from Maine, was disqualified
from senate membership because OF
his reputed connection with pay
ment of 100000 some years ago to
an official of Canada.
Then Senator Bruce, Maryland
vet, read to an almost empty cham
Der, speech indicting the Volstead
act on many charges, and his fell
low--democrat. Sheppard of Texas, re-
piled with general and specific
denial. Senator Edward of New
Jersey, also democrat, interjected
notification that he would call up
after Christmas his resolution for &
national wei and dry referendum
The poison gas treaty meantime
was given an opening when Chair
man Borah of the foreign relations
committee, gave notice he would call
it UP tomorrow for ratification a
fight is in prospect.
Farm relief was absent from the
floor discussion, but it got Officially
into the tangle when Representative
McKeown, democrat, Oklahoma, put
in a bill to stabilize basic crops by
fixing means of standard produc-
ton. The proposal went to the house
agriculture committee, where many
other relief proposals. left over from
last session, already are neatly tuck
ed away awaiting day of possible
action.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Although Chi
cago's centennial celebration is seven
years off, plans already are under

time to render q lasting service to

In a letter Sunday to Mayor VII

plans. Edward N. Hurley, former
chairman Of the United States Ship

object was to establish an interna

including a 4,000-bed hospital, ia

fellowships and scholarships for dis
tinguished medical men and medical
students Of foreign countries.
Besides the medical center which
would be erected on an island in
Lake Michigan, it is proposed that
three convalescent homes be built
in the forest preserves on the north,
south and west sides of Chicago.
For Public Good
The financing plans still are in
the formative stage, but the under
taking will be public in character"
Hurley said, adding that a world
wide health education campaign
would be conducted, with the lead
ers of the press, the movies and
radio broadcastlng invited to par
ticipate.
The communication to the mayor
emphasizes the need of permanency
and service. Hurley wants all the
buildings in the centennial celebra-
ton to be permanent in character,
not of the temporary stucco variety
of exposition construction.

citizens of Chicago to make the cele-
bration the greatest of its kind in
