HORNSbY'S STOCK
MAY CANCEL TRADE
Breadon Considers Calling
Off New York Deal Due to
Hitch Over 1,167 Shares.

By the Associated Press
ST. LOUIS, January 31.-Rogers
Hornsby's ownership of 1,167 shares
of ST. Louis Cardinal stock and Presi-
dent Sam Breadon's refusal to buy the
stock at Hornsby's price of $105 a
share, may force cancellation of the
trade which sent the former Cardinals
manager to the New York Giants in
exchange for frankie F'risch and
Jimmy Ring, Rreadon said today.
.'Hornsby's stock entities him to a
place on the board" Breadon said. 1T
is his right and 1 have no intention
to deprive him of that right. 1t iS
a most unusual condition. do not
know how it will work out. The situa-
ton may be such that the trade with
New York will have to be called off
and we may have to play Hornsby at
second base"
May Be Named to Board.
William F. Fahey, attorney for
Hornsby, said he thought Hornsby's q
stock, representing about one-tenth
interest in the club, would be suffi-
cient to elect him to the board at
the stockholders meeting tomorrow.
although 1t would not be if all the
StOCkIOIucFS M0I6 EGDTS-
sented and voted against Hornsby' s
reelection.
President Heydler of the National
League, shortly after the Hornsby
trade, said 1t went without saying
that Hornsby could not be- stock
holder in the Cardinal club and play
with the Giants. On the other hand,
it was agreed that there was no legal
way in which Hornsby, as a citizen,
could be forced to sell his Cardinal
stock for price which he considered
insufficient.
Breadon said that if the Hornsby
trade were Cancelled the players new
contract with New York probably
would be nullified and the old contract
with the Cardinals, calling for his
services for 1927 at 100000 would be
reinstated.
SOuthwOrth Still Holdouf.
Billy Southworth of Columbus,
Ohio, who became one of the heroes
of the world series when he hit Urban
Shocker for a home run in the second
game at Yankee Stadium, was added
today to the list of players known to
have refused SO far to sign the con-
tract offered him for next season.
Southworth said he had been offered
the same salary, but had requested
an increase. Branch Hickey, Cardinal
business manager, left last night for
Columbus, presumably to confer with
Souehworth.

District Detectives Go to
Gotham to Get Suspect
in Robbery.
POLICE HOPE ARREST
MAY SOLVE OTHER CASES
Have Held to Theory Series of
Thefts at Women's Shops
Work of Gang.

Clearing up of the Erlebacher rob
berry, involving $4,000, and possibly
the other wholesale thefts of wearing
apparel at exclusive Washington
shops, loomed today with the arrest
in New York City of Uric Browne,
% years old.
Browne, according to the New York
police. was caught with IA fur coats
marked "Erlebacher, Washington.
Immediately after Brownies arrest
the Washington police were advised
and Detectives Patrick O'Brien and
Clement P. Cox arrived there this
morning with a warrant.
Seized Yesterday Morning.
Browne, when arrested, gave his ad-
dress as 219 West 144th street, New
York. He was captured Sunday
morning and held on a charge of
burglary for the local authorities.
1t is expected that the Washington
detectives will bring Browne back to
the city, together with the coats.
The Erlebacher robbery which oc-
CURED last Wednesday was cleverly
planned and clearly indicated that
there were number of burglars in
volved. At the time it was estimated
that more than 100000 worth of furs,
evening gowns, wraps and other items
of womens apparel were taken.
Police Are Hopeful.
1t is noted that Is fur and pony
skin coats were listed as stolen last
Wednesday, it being believed that
the Ia recovered in New York City
were among this lot.
The Erlebacher burglary followed
closely on the robbery of practically
the same proportions at Rizik's and
clinaxed a number of thefts at fash
ionable Connecticut avenue stores.
The police have held to the theory
that the stores were the victims of an
organized gang and with the arrest of
Browne they exhibited conf1dence to-
day they would be able to obtain clues
which would lead to a general round
up OF the robbers.

FARM RELIEF BILL
GETS RIGHT OF WAY
House Rules Committee Fa-
vorS Special Plan for Nc
Nary-Haugen Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Privileged Legislative status fol
the McNary- Haugen farm relief bill
was approved today by the House
rules committee.
A rule to have it called UP in the
House probably next Monday, under
an agreement providing IL hours
general debate, was voted
The House must give its sanction
to the rule before it becomes effective
VIII Divide Time.
Chairman Haugen of the agricul-
tural committee, co-author of the bill,
will control one-half of the time allotted
for discussion, while the other half will
be jointly divided between Representa-
tive Aswell of Louisiana, ranking
Democrat of the committee, and Rep
resentative Fort, Republican, New
Jersey.
The committee made no decision as
to whether the Curtis-Aswell farm
bill and the Crisp farm measure could
be offered as substitutes for the Nc
Nary-Haugen proposal, leaving this
point for the determination of the
Speaker. Chairman Smell Of the COM
mittee said it was the consensus that
DOtn the Curt1S-ASWeII bill and the
Crisp bill could be offered as substi-
tutes. He added that he would press
for the consideration of the McNary-
Haugen bill next Monday.
Davey Urges Coalition.
A coalition of tax reduction and farm
relief advocates to force both pro-
posals through this Congress was
suggested last night by Representative
Davey, Democrat, Ohio.
He proposed this combination In a
letter to Chairman Haugen of the
House agriculture committee and Rep
resentative Garner of Texas, the Dem
ocratic tax legislation spokesman, be-
cause he believed that neither meas
ure alone could command sufficient
votes to pass both houses, but, in his
opinion, an alignment of forces would
assure victory for both.
The Democratic tax reduction plan
has failed in the Senate, and a similar
fate seems assured in the House,
where Democrats have so far been
unable to obtain enough signatures
to petition looking to forcing the
issue on the floor.
Farm relief is due for consideration
shortly, with all sides predicting a
bitter controversy over the equaliza-
tion fee in the McNary- -Haugen bill,
which is on both House and Senate
calendars.
