SISTER SUMMONED
TO identify BODY
All But One Portion of Slain
Brides Dismembered Corpse
Found in Wisconsin.
BY the Associated Press.

0y the Associated FFeSs
PLATTEvILLE. Wis. January 20.
Identification of the body found
buried here as that of Mrs. Hattie
Hales, who was slain by William n.
Corey. itinerant bond salesman, will
not be difficult, in the opinion of Of
ficials.
Mrs. William Hcldridge of Rock.
ford, ILL.,, a sister OF Mrs. Hales, has
been summoned here to view the body
which was assembled from shallow
graves in Riter's woods near here, fol-
lowing Coffeys confession that he
slew his bride and dismembered her
body
All but one portion of the body was
recovered yesterday. Coffey led OFF,
Gals to the place where he buried
the head and stood stolidly by as 1t
was taken from the snow-covered
ground. while thousands of unofficial
searchers looked on.
DIR. Carl Andrews, who examined
the parts of the body recovered, made
a cursory examination and said the
skull had been fractured on the left
side and that there were bruises on
the right side.
The next step in the retracing of
the crime Of which Coffey stands ac-
cused will be an attempt to locate
the exact spot where Mrs. Hales, to
whom Coffey was bigamously mar
ried. was struck down. Coffey was
ready today to lead officers to the
spot. which he said Is on Sandy Hook
Hill, Oh the Wisconsin side of the
Mississippi River.

HAUGEN TO REQUEST
TEN-HOUR DEBATE
Will Appear Before Rules Body to
Ask for Farm Discussion
Soon.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Haugen of the House ag.
ricultural committee will appear be-
fore the rules committee Monday to
arrange for early debate on farm re-
lief. He intends to ask for 10 hours
discussion, to be divided between ad-
vocates of the McNary-Haugen bill
and those who have decided to sup
port the Curtis. Crisp bill.
Meanwhile. a move is under way by
the McNary-Haugen supporters to
compromise with southern Democrats
who oppose the equalization fee prin-
ciples of that bill, but the discussions
have not proceeded far enough to in
dictate the exact nature of the agree
ment sought.
In some quarters, however, it is pre-
dicted that Middle Western members
would agree to postpone the fee on all
crops for two years If Southern Dem
ocrats are willing to vote for the
measure so amended. Principal oppo-
sition to the fee has come from the
South, where it is claimed immediate
imposition of the Zee would ruin the
cotton industry.

By. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEWARK, n. J., January 29.-Criti-
cism of the present administration for
it's attitude toward Nicaragua and
other South American republics
was voiced Thursday night by United
States Senator Gerald P. Nye of North
Dakota, in an address before the New
Jersey Council of. the Steuben Society
of America.
He compared the rebellions in South
American governments to the Ameri-
can Revolution. and denied justif1ca-
ton for interference by the United
States.
Discussing Americas Industrial
favoritism," he declared that the
farmer was consistently sighted in
favor of the richer industrial and
banking powers, and that this pro-
gram OF the Government had driven
the agricultural sections of the Nation
into bankruptcy.
The entire economic plight of the
country is directly traceable. he stated
to "backboneless" action of the Gov.
eminent in failing to stop the defiation
program of 1921, which he charged
was conceived by the banking inter.
ests with the knowledge that it would
harm and possibly ruin the farmer.

4TAY PAY TO GIVE
GLADSTONE DATA
O'Connor win Testify in Libel
Suit Next Week on Char
acter of Statesman.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, January 29.-Lively
testimony is looked for next week
with the resumption Of the Gladstone
trial, for among those expected to
take the stand is T. P. O'Connor, vet
eran Irish Nationalist, whose gift of
sparkling humor has never failed him
in the many years he has been a
public figure.
The father of the House of Com
MONS" as he is known, became a
member of the Commons in 1880 and
was closely associated with the late
William f., Gladstone, the eminent
British statesman, whose 72-year-old
son, Viscount Gladstone, is being
Wright. "Tay Pay" has postponed
trip abroad so as to be on call
should his testimony be asked.
Suit Result of Book.
The suit grew out of a book writ
ten by Capt. Wright, Portraits and
Criticisms" In which the moral char
acter of the elder Gladstone is as
sailed. Viscount Gladstone resented
the charges made against his father
and denounced the author as a liar,
coward and fool"
Another witness whose testimony
is eagerly awaited is Frank Froest,
who resigned as head of Scotland
Yard in 1912 after filling the post
for 81 years, during which time he
is supposed to have learned many
secrets of the private and political
life of personages. The disclosures"
in Capt. Wrights book date back to
the eighties and nineties.
Merciless CrOss-Examination.
Before the case was adjourned yes
terday to be resumed on Tuesday
Capt Wright, crosse examined merci-
lessly by counsel for the defense,
withdrew his intimations that the
elder Gladstone had. an illeGitimate
son. He insisted, however, that the
statesman was an "arch humbug"
and said that the astonishing thing
about Gladstone was that "he had
these affairs between 70 and So"
The latter statement was made
when counsel reminded the author
that Gladstone's alleged intrigue with
Brassine, noted French actress of
the time, occurred when he was ~
years of age.

HUGHES ASSA|LS 70
AS COURT AGE BAN
Says rs Would Be Better
Retirement Rule for
Supreme Justices.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, January ga 20.
year age Init for compulsory retire.
ment of justices of the United States
Supreme Court is opposed by Charles
Evans Hughes, former justice.
Holding that an experienced judge
is an asset and that modern living con-
ditions are conducive to extended eff
cient service, he suggests rs as re-
tirement age that could be more
easily defended"
Admits Risk Is Great.
"I agree that the Importance in the
Supreme Court of avoiding the risk of
having judges who are unable prop
erly to do their work, and yet insist
on remaining on the bench, is too great
to permit chances to be taken. and any
age selected must be somewhat arbi-
trary, as the time of falling in mental
powers differs widely" he said last
night in the second of six lectures at
Columbia University on the Supreme
Court.
1.-THE exigency to be thought of is
not illness, but decrepitude. Men who
take good care of themselves and live
the protected and regular life of a
Judge are more likely now to be fit
at 10 than at 65 under the conditions
of SO years ago.
Work Keeps Wits Keen.
Contrary to general opinion. the
work of the court tends to keep a man
keen-witted and earnest. FossiliZation
is not due to the work of the court.
but probably to some physical defect
which serves to impair mental ac-
tivity."
Mr.. Hughes cited the case of Justice
Holmes, who is on the Supreme bench
at IS.
'On the other hand, some judges
have stayed too long on the bench" he
said. as he referred to the cases of
Justices Grier and Field.

LEGISLATOR SUSPENDED.
Polish Deputy Deprived of Seat fo1
Defending Five Russians.

WARSAW, Poland, January 20 OP).
Deputy Wojewodzki was suspended
from the Diet yesterday for one
month. The suspension was declared
because of the deputy's having under
taken too energetic defense of the
five White Russian Communist depu-
ties arrested earlier this month when
the Polish police announced the dis
covery Of an extensive Communist
plot, alleged to have been inspired
from Russia.
The deputy's friends, however, say
his suspension really Is an act of
vengeance by adherents of Premier
Pilsudski because Wojewodzki, who
formerly was an admirer of PilsudSki,
NOW belongs to the opposition.
