ANOTHER INQUIRY

Washington, Jan. A Pt-A blan- ket investigation of the. sale of fed eral patronage was recommended to the senate today by its judiciary committee.
 Starting out with the consideration of charges made in congress of the sale of such patronage by republican party officers in the south the com mittee decided to broaden the scope to take in all states in the event there is any charge to justify an in quiry.
 The committee approved a substi- ute resolution offered by Chairman Norris which recited the charges of such sale of public offices. It would direct the judiciary committee to ascertain whetherf such officials of political party organizations have improperly. illegally or dishonesty used the influence and power of their positions in bringing about the ap- pointment of federal officials and whether they have used such in- fuence in making assessment or de- mands upon any public federal off cials. Particular attention would be given to whether money was solicit ed or involved.

PROSECUTOR DEMANDS
 NORRIS BE EXECUTED
Apparent Danger" and Right to Defend Him.
 self, Is Defense Plea

Austin. Tex, Jan. 24 R)-State defense closed their testimony in the Norris murder trial at $50 a. m. today and the judge began his charge to the jury soon afterwards. Arguments to the jury are to be limited to six hours to a side.
 After the judges charge the state opened arguments with John Shell ton of Austin, special prosecutor, demanding the death penalty for the fundamentalist pastor who is charged with the murder of D, E, Chipps.
 He has forfeited his right to life and liberty" Helston told the jury.
 The Fort Worth pastor, whose trial was brought here on a change of venue. was surrounded by friends when court opened today, and he explained that a number of them, fearing demonstration against him had gotten permission from court bailiffs to sit within the rail. Fred D. Holland, former Fort Worth policeman and number of mem bers of Dr. Norris church formed the little circle around him.
 The arguments which followed the judges charge are expected to last until tomorrow afternoon.
 The chief point in Judge James R. Hamilton's charge was on "ap- parent danger" He explained that the question of whether Norris was in apparent danger of his life should be viewed from the standpoint of how the circumstances appeared to the defendant. He declared that the defendant was not bound to re- treat but, under the law, had a right 10 stand and defend himself if at tackled.
 There are four possible results:
 A verdict of murder carrying five years to death.
 Manslaughter, two to five years.
 Not guilty.
 A hung jury.
 The arguments started about 1925 a. m.. and with each side talk ing six hours the case may go to the jury tomorrow afternoon.

Mrs. Jennie Tucker and Miss Mary Wooley Two of Six Known Heirs to Property Estimated at $125, 100000 left by Eng lishman.

Hartford, Jan. A P)--Mrs. Jennie Tucker of P New Britain avenue, who claims to be an heir to the millions left by William Jen- nings of England. today wrote to Miss Mary Wooey, president of Mount Holyoke college at South Hadley, Mass. relative to a united effort in pressing the claims. So far as Mrs. Tucker knows there are six heirs to the estate, Mrs. Harriet Stratton Stockbridge of Philadel- phia; Samuel B. Stratton of Asbury Park, N. J., and Mrs. Tucker, who was the youngest of eleven children; Miss Mary Wooley, of South Had ley, Mass. Frank F. Wooley of An thony. R. l., and Frying Wooley of Boston.
 Never Heard of Woman
 Mrs. Tucker endeavored today to make it clear that she does not in- sist that Mrs. G. S. T. Eddy, of Providence, R. l., is not an heir to the Jennings estate. now estimated at $125, 100000. All that she does insist is that she never before heard of Mrs. Eddy, or her claims to be the only heir to the estate. Mrs. Fuckers claims were represented In those flied by her mother, Anna Liza Wooley Stratton. in 1870. Her mother for years had insisted she was the sole heir, but since her death it appears that her children, of whom three survive, are in the same position as the three children of the Rev. pr. Joseph Wooley, of Providence. R. l.. her brother. and father of President Wooley. of Mount Holyoke. In addition to com municating with Miss Wooley, Mrs. Tucker is today getting In touch with her own brother and sister, and intimates she will consult a lawyer in the latest effort to press her claims.
 Claims Long Dormant
 The Tucker claims have been dor mant for years, pending some dis position of the Jennings estate, and based on the claims filed many years ago. Mrs. Tucker today said she would not now again press her claims except for the claim from Providence that Mrs. Eddy Is the sole heir.
 Mrs. Tucker bases her claim 10 th- Jennings estate on the assertion that her grandmother was sister to William Jennings.

Rep. Garrett Petitions House to Again Take Up SSS5,MD,-
 900 Reduction Bill
INVITES REPUBLICANS
 TO HELP SERVE COUNTRY
Rep. Mills, in Replying, Says Pro
 posal Should Be Dismissed as Purely Political Move and Declares Enactment of Suggested Legisla-
 tion at This Session Is Impossible.

Washington. Jan. 24 G@ - The democrats today carried their tax fight to the floor of the house, where Representative Garrett of Tennessee. the minority leader. placed upon Speakers table a pe- tition to take the s335,000,O00 Gar ner tax reduction bill from the ways and means committee where republicans voted more than a month ago to pigeonhole 1t.
 Quotes President
 Quoting President Coolidge as having said in his message to con- gress that whenever the state of the treasury will permit, believe in a reduction of taxation" Gar rett declared there was an esti- mated treasury surplus of s3S3,- 0OO,Ooo for the present fiscal year and that "the consumers of the country to whom the corporation tax is passed on should be given the measure of relief proposed in the bill."
 The Garner measure would re- duce the corporation tax from 13 1-2 to il per cent and repeal the automobile, amusement, club dues and produce stamp taxes. Under the rules the petition will require the signature of at least 21s mem- bers, of which Garner said the democrats could furnish only 1S2, if every democrat were able per sonally to appear in the house.
 Signatures Needed
 50, if results are obtained, we shall have to have the signatures Of a considerable number of re- publfcans," he declared. I've be- lieve the country wants 1t and we stand ready to help pass it through a republican congress and let it be signed by a republican president with whatever political benefit may accrue to them thereby, because we have sought our country's hon. ors that we may serve our coun- try's good. ...
 we offer ourselves and invite you (republicans) to let us help you serve the nation"
 Mills Makes Reply
 When Garrett concluded, demo- crats f1ocked about the speakers table to sign the petition, but de- sisted while Representative Mills, republican, New York, chosen by President Coolidge to be the under secretary of the treasury, delivered a reply
 The democratic proposal, Mills said, should be dismissed as a po- litical gesture" because of the inn possibility of enactment in the re- maining days of the session.
 It should be remembered, Mills said, that tax laws are not based solely on treasury surpluses. He pointed out that certain taxes being included this year will not be avail able next year.
 Replying to a question by Repre- sentative Garner, of Texas. Mills said he would favor tax reduction in the first session of the next congress. To question whether the reduction would be retroactive to apply to 1927. Mills said i've should cross that bridge when we get to it."
 "Yes," rejoined Garner, and you want that bridge to come as close to the 1928 elections as possible"
 When Mills had concluded demo- crats rushed to sign .he document amid such confusion that Speaker Iongworth suggested it be trans ferred to the house lobby to per init the chamber to carry on its business.
