CONGRESS Gets
DOWN TO WORK
ON LEGISLATION
Senate Grows Talkative
Over Seating of Senator
Elect Ware

WASHINGTON Dec. tP)-The
new 10th congress showed incipient
but unmistakable signs today of de-
veIoping those attributes which would
mark it as the full-fledged, lineal
descendant of the congresses that
have gone Immediately before it.
The senate grew increasingly talk
ative. The house sawed wood. The
oil scandal and the administrations
policy in Nicaragua and China got
into the debates, while the CLOAK
rooms overflowed with politics Not
even presidential reninder-this
time a message outlining the presi-
dents views on flood control-was
lacking.
If the house did the work, spending
a trying and monotonous day over
the deficiency appropriation bill, it
was the senate which provided the
show. AS the senatorial batteries
thundered away without appreciable
advance on the Ware election case
from Pennsylvania, crowded galleries
looked on and long lines of those
who could not get in stretched down
the corridors.

GUNMAN TESTIFIES MURDERED
WIFE SOUGHT LIFE OF REMUS

CINCINNATI, Dec. 8, (AP)-
A confessed gunman willing to
have slain George Remus for
$4,000, Harry TruesdaIe, of Ham
iltOn, Ohio, today completed the
witness stand narrative which
yesterday sent Remus into an
emotional Outburst which halted
court.
Remus sat quietly while Trues-

Holmes Remus, herself slain by
Remus last October. 6, the day
after Truesdale's story of a nnr-
der conspiracy was poured into his
ear, had sat in front of a hotel
in which she had expected to
trap her husband with another
woman, twirIing a pistol and
ready to shoot him herself.
The expression double cross"
was prominent in the last half
of Truesdale's testimony.

Harry j. Tucker, head of the public
relations department of the Arizona
division of the Aero Corporation OF
California, called Postmaster E. j.
Huxtable, of Douglas, on long distance
yesterday afternoon to ask him if
arrangements could be made for a
reception of President Jack Frye OF
the corporation and a flying party
to arrive here on December Is.
Tucker told Huxtable, who is one
of the leaders of the Douglas chapter
of the National Aeronautical associa-
tion and chairman of the committee
on securing accomnoda for the
establishment Of a depot here on the
transcontinental air lines, that Presi-
dent Frye had been unable to- visit
Douglas sooner because of the ex-
cessiye work necessary in starting the
service between Tucson, Phoenix and
the coast.
Frye, Tucker and L. A. Carleton, OF
the corporation, flew to Douglas In

issued the statement that if one pas
Senger a day or the equivalent in

It Is No Longer a Cold.

Shortly before the demise Of Judge

that the man had really had myO-

but not inflammation as the layman

rather an insidious, chronic degenera-

heart failure that terminates so many
careers after a prolonged state Of
semi-invalidism or general debility.
OF course, we cannot know what

anxieties, enmities, regrets, disappoint-

so upset the involuntary workings of
the vital organs. We know only that
