SENATE FIGHT ON
 SMITH COMES WE'D.
And on Thursday Consideration Of Woods Will Be Taken Up

Washington, Jan. IT (UP)-The controversy over seating Frank L.. Smith, senator designate from Illi- nois, will come to a head Wednes- day in the senate.
 On that day, Smith. whose oam- paign contributions from traction in terests have brought heated denun- citation, will present his credentials. He is expected here tomorrow. As soon as the credentials are pre- scented, Senator Robinson. Ark, dem- ocratic floor leader. will offer res | olution backed by most of his demo- cratic colleagues and many repub- licans, referring the credentials to the elections committee without giv- ing Smith the oath of office.
 That will provoke debate. Some republican senators and 6 few southern democrats contend Smith should first be seated, and custer &C., ton taken afterward. Republican leaders hope the discussion will not be prolonged, since they are nervous over the possibility of an extra ses- sion. But senators have been burrow- ing into legal volumes for days, and many will say something about pre- cedents and their application in the present case.
 While the Smith case is the chief interest among senators as they be- gin the weeks work. there are other matters which will draw attention.
 The appropriations committee probably will report out the naval supply bill. It's consideration by the senate will bring on a fight for a bigger navy. The debate may get side-tracked into the Nicaraguan Sit uation, in which American warships are playing role.
 A vote is expected Tuesday on the Lausanne treaty, negotiated in 1923, for restoring diplomatic relations with Turkey. Further discussion of Muscle Shoals legislation is expected today or tomorrow and an effort to fix time for it's consideration or to shelve it for this session is anticipat- ed.
 During the week. an agreement Is Expected on disputed radio legisla- tion.,
 On Thursday, the senate will be- gin considering in executive session the nomination of Cyrus F Woods of Pennsylvania to the interstate commerce commission, which has raised considerable opposition.

27 MEX|CANS ARE | KILLED IN FIGHT
Rebels Are Reported Routed in
 Fridays Battle

Mexico City. Jan. IT P}-Twen- ty-seven rebels, two officers, II sol- dlers and a policeman were killed when federal forces commanded by General Ferreira, military con- mandant of the state of Jalisco. de- feated rebellion forces at Paredon, Loma Larga, and Cispeadores Friday night. Special dispatches describing these engagements say that General Ferreira heading a strong column left Thursday for Gualalajara on the way to Tepatitlan, when he was mo- tifed that numerous rebels had laid siege to the town of Paredon, which was defended by detachment of the 74th regiment and the municipal po- lice.
 The rebels offered strong resistance at Paredon, being forced to retreat to Loma Larga and thence to Cis- peadores. where they finally were de- feated.General Ferreira resumed his march to Tepatitlan Saturday morn ing.
 From Durango special despatches report a battle has been going on since Saturday at San Bartolo be- tween federal forces commanded by General Lopez and a band of rebels under Tirzo Gurrola and Damaso Barraza. Three hundred rebels are reported to be fighting desperately against 250 soldiers.
 Barraza described in the special despatches as prominent Catholic leader, who with Gurrola revolted in the Mesquital district under the ban- ner Tor God and My Country" was

The proper utilization of space, it was found, would allow the ae- commodation of all inmates in the barracks, leaving other space avail able for use in relieving the con- gestion in other state institutions, perhaps by caring for veterans now assigned elsewhere for care and treatment.
 It is suggested that because of the small number of Spanish war veterans the number of inmates will decrease rather than increase in the near future.
 While ''the state has been so long committed to the policy of caring for needy Civil and Spanish American war veterans that a re. versal oof this policy would work as an injustice and discrimination against the remaining veterans who may require disqualification or the care afforded by the home" since 'all men of military age were drafted by the United States gov ernmcnt for service in the World war. there is no more responsibility on the part of the state to World war veterans than there is to any group of citizens" the report con cluded.
 Reconsideration of the policy Of the state toward these veterans, continuance of which twill even- tually impose an enormous burden on the taxpayer" Is recommended, since the federal government is providing for 'all disabled veterans who can prove-that their disabili- ties are directly attributable to military service" and many so-call- ed veterans who saw no actual military service would under the present laws be entitled to the same benefits as the veteran dis abled on active service"
 As evidence of the uberality with which the board has interpreted the service requirement. for admis- sion the report cites one instance in which during the World war q civilian was inducted into the army and upon reporting to military was found to be phy- sically unfit and was discharged. This person in 1926 filed an appli- cation for admission to the sol diers' home. The soldiers hospital board communicated with the ad- jutant general and obtained a de- cision that such person was tech nically an ex-soldier because he held discharge. On this technical of the term "soldier" the hospital board admitted the man to the home.

path by drinking, Judge Hunger ford said. and he told Kasper he should stop before it is too late.
 Mrs. Kasper testified that her husband works steadily and sup ports his family, but occasionally on Saturday he becomes intoxi- cated and then he is ugly. Kasper admitted having had "a few drinks" Saturday evening. but he did not make a disturbance, he said, except to tell his wife to get out of the house if she did not like it, after she had remonstrated with him. He did not eject her: she chose to go. Officer Malona made the arrest on Mrs. Kasper's s complaint
 Nick Ricardo, aged 27, of 255 Myrtle street, was ordered to pay the probation officer $2 every week towards the support of his child, with the requirement. that he post a bond of s100 or go to jail for 30 days. He was further ordered to complete seven weeks back pay ments.
 Mrs. Ricardo said she has not lived with her husband in some time because he insists that she work. She feels she might better live alone If she must support her. self. She feels. though. that the child should be supported by the father. Ricardo has stwo children by previous marriage. He is capable of earning s27.5o per week for 55 hours work.

ESCAPED CONVICT IS FULLY ARMED
Oklahoma Gunlnan Has Four
 Pistols and Machine Gun

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. IT R--Armed with four pistols and a machine gun, John Mayo. 29, convicted bank rob- Der and key witness in the Hale Ramsey Indian murder trial, was at liberty today after his daring escape yesterday from the Tulsa county jail where he locked his two guards in 8 cell.
 Search was centered at Vinita. near here, Mayo's former home. | Deputy sheriffs are confident that he will return to his wife, jealousy of whom was said to have prompted his break for liberty. They have little hope of taking him alive they | said
 With a parole almost within his grasp, Mayo's escape came as a sur prise to officers. He had been brought to Tulsa following the trial at Oklahoma City Of w. K. Hale, wealthy cattleman and John Rafn- sey, cowboyfarmer. who were con- victed in federal court and sentenced to life Imprisonment, for the mur- der of Henry Roan, Osage Indian. AS 0 government witness Mayo testified that Hale asked him to blow up the home of w. F. Smith of Fairfax. Smiths home later was blown up. but Mayo denied implica- tion.
 Recently application had been made for a pardon for him, and this 1t is understood. was to have been signed next week by President Cool idge. As trusty in the jail, and at the request of federal officers, he was given unusual privileges.
 When Mayo confronted the jailers with pistols, they demonstrated with him, telling him a parole was almost certain. He ignored them and forced the lock on the jail armory where he obtained machine gun and two more revolvers.
 On leaving the jail, he secured a taxicab and went to a hotel where his wife and 11-year old son were staying He broke into his wife's room, shouting Where is he?"
 Failing to find anyone in the room except his wife and son, he rushed into an adjoining room and awaken ed W. c. Holt, a garage employe. Leaving the door to his wife's room open, he then threatened to kill Holt, she said, but on finding him unarmed, told Holt if he failed to leave town in three hours he would shoot him. Holt fled.
 Shortly before Mayo left the Jail he promised reporter wild story" II was 1T when I robbed my first bank, it netted me $30,- 000,' he told the reporter. T had all the money in the world 1t seem- cd to me and it went like water. When I get out of here I am going straight"
 Mayo was sentenced to q years in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, for robbery of a Kansas bank.

SCHOOL MADE FAMOUS BY MARY AND
 HER LITTLE LAMB REOPENED TODAY
Henry Ford, Sponsor of Its Reconstruction, Takes Personal Part in Exer- cises at Sudbury.

Sudbury, Mass, Jan. 17 (UP)- Only landmark for 75 years, the little schoolhouse to which Mary was followed by her famous lamb, re-entered Americas educational system here today under the person. al direction of Henry Ford. The historic structure, immortaliz. ed in nursery rhyme, had been brought here from Sterling, 23 miles away. as part of the group of New England antiques assembled by tho automobile magnate near his Way side Inn.
 Ford, an early riser. was at the school this morning to welcome l6 lucky children who came over snow. clogged roads in two busses in response to his special invitations. Thtre was more than one Mary among the scholars. and while no lamb participated in the program, several young sheep were in a near by fold; for Ford recently decided to prove that sheep could be raised in New England as well as in other parts of tho country.
 The same bell that once warned the original Mary that the school hour had arrived, today called the l6 little tots to their studies. And for the first time since before the Civil War the little schoolroom rang with childish voices struggling with the three Rs.
 Miss Jeanette Carroll Of Fairfield. Me, is the teacher at the school, which, Ford has announced, will be conducted on the same basis as the public schools.
 Most of the pupils are the children of employees at tie Wayside Inn. Among them Is s-year-old Betty Harrington, great great great great great granddaughter of David Howe, who built the inn and who subse- quently conducted it as Howe's Tav- ern and later as Red Horse Tavern.
 Ford bought the schoolhouse at Sterling last spring. For 70 years 1t had served as a barn in connec- tion with the parsonage of the Bap- list church. Not only the building itself. but part Of the original foun- dation, was removed here.
 The schoolhouse. restored to its original state, is now located between Wayside Inn and the farm former ly owned by Babe Ruth of home run fame.
 It is typical old New England district school. as white as the snow with which 1t is now banked. Bright green blinds have been attached to the eight large windows. An old fashioned rcd chimney pokes up from the pitched roof. An acre and a half of land is the school yard.
 The reopening of the school to- day seemed 10 settle--at least in the mind of Henry Ford--the ques- tion as to where the Mary's lamb incident occurred. Mary Sawyer of Sterling has long been claimed by residents Of that town as the origin al Mary. Some time ago, however, a New Hampshire town erected memorial to Mary and her lamb. claiming the distinction of having been the home of the true Mary.
