SCENES OF F1YSTERIA COMPEL
ADJOURNMENT OF REMUS CASE

CINCINNATI. Dec. ! up - An
emotional attack from which he
recovered only after four hours,
swept George RemuS today and,
spreading to his daughter, RomOIa,
at his side, and his sister, Mrs.
Anna RyerSon, previously seated
incOnspicuously among the spec
tators, created the widest scene of
the more than three weeks of his
murder trial.
The forenoon court session was
exactly an hour old when RemuS'
Outburst, the ninth since the trial
started 18 court days ago, forced
an adjournment. At 2 p. m., the
time set for resumption, Remus
was writlling in spasms ON his Jail
cell bunk. After a 30-minute wait
court was adjourned until tOmor-
row morning.
Harry TruesdaIe of Hamilton,
Ohio, was well along in his narra-
ton of effort to slay Remus to
gain reward of $4,000 promised by
Mrs. ImOgene Holmes Remus, her.
self slain by Remus in Eden park

ton. General Pershing later re-
fused to express himself regard
ing the ovation.
"What can | say? 1 do not talk
politics." That he was greatly
pleased, however, was obvious.
Verification of the report that
the federation would be united in
a fight for the McNary Haugen
farm relief bill, passed by con-
gress at its last session and We
toed by President Coolidge was
had in the resolutions adopted.
Although mo mention was made
of the presidents message to
congress, and his reiteration OF
his stand on the farm question,
the resolutions left no doubt OF
the federatiOn's stand on points
mentioned by Coolidge.
1t will insist on passage at this
session of congress of measure
similar to the McNary- Hauger
bill. Federal aid in flood prevent
ion, national debt reduction rather
thar tax reduction, equalization
of foreign and domestic costs OF
production, lowering freight
rates, and appropriation of funds
for agricultural extension work
will be sought.

HOUSE RECEIVES
ANNUAL BUDGET
FROM PRESIDENT
Senate Procedure Delayed
By Consideration Of
Election Cases

WASHINGTON Dec. Z, R-Its
senate machinery clogged by the
Smith-Vare fight, Congress today
could make only one half start on
the many legislative problems clam
oring for attention.
In the senate, the long drawn out
election battle came to partial cli-
max with members voting SO to 28
to deny Frank L. Smith the right
to take the oath of office as sena-
tor from Illinois
Temporarily disposing of this case,
it turned its attention after a recess
to the right of William S. Ware, Of
Pennsylvania to take the oath but
later i'll the day the senators agreed
to postpone ballot on this question
until tomorrow.
While this was taking place, the
House got down to business. First 1t
received the annual budget message
from President Coolidge requesting
the sum OF $4,258, ,793, ,765 to meet the
operating expenses of the government
for the fiscal year 1929.
After hearing the communication
read, the House plunged into con-
sideration of its first legislative meas
ure, the nearly $2OO,OO0,OO0 deficiency
appropriation bill designed largely to
replace a somewhat similar measure
that was caught in the senate fill
buster some nine months ago.
It is The expectation to send this
measure to the senate by tomorrow
night, but there is no assurance of
that body being ready to give 1t az
tention for some time to come.
In refusing to permit Smith to
take the oath, the senate today simp-
ly transferred to a committee the
fight that for three days has been
Waged on the floor. 1t voted to send
the case to the special campaign
funds committee headed by Senator
Reed, Democrat, Missouri, rather than
the regular committee on privileges
and elections.
1t was agreed, however, that when
the committees report is returned to
the senate that Smith would be ac-
corded the privilege of defending him
self from the floor.
House leaders, giving no attention
to the possible fate Of legislation in
the other body, also announced dur
ing the day that it was the plan
to take up Friday the new $236,000,-
600 tax bill and that this, along with
alien property legislation would be
disposed of before the Christmas re-
cess
Whether this plan will be carried
out remains III doubt as notice was
served today by members of the house
naval affairs committee that a fight
would be made to incorporate funds
in the first deficiency bill for eleva-
ton of the large guns on American
battleships.
The appropriations committee in re-
porting the measure asked that the
house pass upon the question and
Chairman Butler of the naval COM
mittee announced today that he would
see that this request was granted.
While the house was debating over
the provisions of the bill today,

CHICAGO, Dec. Z, (AP)-A
spontaneous outburst of enthus-

ing, who was hailed as candi-
date for president of the United

General Pershing addressed the
farmers on the place of agricul-

of the merchant marine, a larger
navy and an uplift in the level
of prices on basic products.
At the conclusion of his speech
a farmer jumped up on his chair,

General Pershing, "a candidate

work for the testimony by which
the government hopes to convict Har-
ry F. Sinclair, wealthy oil operator,
William j. Burns, famous detective,
and their associates of criminal con-

before Justice Frederick L. Siddons
in the supreme court of the District
of Columbia.
Calling Charles G. Ruddy, Burns

of the Fall-Sinclair oil conspiracy

District Attorney Gordon introduced
reports made by the detectives to
Henry Mason Day, vice president OF
the Sinclair exploration company and
one of the defendants in the con-
tempt action. These reports showed
the jurors had been subjected to in
tensive shadoWing.
Before the reports were introduced,
Ruddy was questioned by Gordon.
Through him it was shown that the
detectives had been hired by Day and
that Day instructed Ruddy to in
vestigate the financial standing OF
John P. Kern member of the Oil
trial jury. Day, the witness said
asked him to learn whether there
were mortgages on. the jurors home,
and if any of the mortgages had been
recently paid
Ruddy said efforts were made to
follow these orders, but that his op-
eratives had been unable to discover
any facts with respect to such mort
cages. Ruddy explained his instruct
ions in detail, proving a willing wit
ness though the government had ex-
pected he would testify reluctantly.
After introducing the reports of the
