to congress today proposing that a
presidential commission of five ex-
perts be appointed to investigate the

Gesture Toward Farm

ALBANY, Jan. 4.-Governor All
Smith delivered his annual message
to the. state legislature today. He
served notice in his opening remarks
that it is the last one he will deliver.
This is taken as an indication Of his
presidential aspirations.
Of the 90 recommendations made
by the governor only one was new.
That asked the state crime commits
sion to make study of the proposal
to have a state board of criminal
experts" instead of judges sentence
those convicted in courts of New York
state.
Recommendations
Other recommendations in the mes
sage include;
A four year term for governor with
the provision that the election shall
not be held in presidential years.
Biennial sessions of the Legislature,
with assemblymen elected for two
years, instead of one, and senators
for four years instead of two.
Creation Of a state power author
ity to develop the states vast hydro
electric power resources.
To Develop Aviation.
Creation of commission to speed
up aviation development.
Establishment of minimum wage

tiicial officers.
Abolition of the state census.
Strengthening of the states agri-

when it ratified the 18th amendment.

Cold Wave Sends GAS
In Capital for Charity

WASHINGTON, (FP) Jan. A.
When the cold wave of New Years
Day swept across the Allegha.ies to
the national capital, it sent CAB men
and women to the doors of charity,
begging for shelter. This was the
day that President Coolidge and
Secretaries Mellon and Hoover an
nounced to the world that the United
States had had a remarkably prosper
GUS year and was starting on another
which looked quite as good.
Prosperity, as seen from the coy
shelter Of the White House, is going
to fairly force wealth upon this
chosen people" in 1923. But this was,
after all, unconvincing. In Washington
itself are between 5000 and 10000
mechanics without work
S. Parker Gilbert, sgent-general
for Preparations from Germany, went
to the White House reception, New
Years Day, with Secretary Mellon.
Gilbert has been talking with Mellon,
Coolidge, Kellogg and the big bank
ers, warning them that the whole
operations and war debt situation is
running upon the rocks. They cannot
pay, and all we can do is to acquire O
steadily bigger investment interest in
Europe, which means that America
cannot continue indefinitely to export
large quantities of manufacture,
goods to Europe. When exports fal
off, as they must in the next /
months unless the war debts are viz
Cually cancelled, then America vii
know what an unemployment crisis Is.
Hoover is expected to base his ap-
peal for nomination and election tc
The presidency very largely upon his
assumed knowledge of how to sci
more goods to Europe while keeping
Europe poor at the war debt game.

LODGING, HOUSES

Outdoor Workers SUI
fer; Buffalo in Gale

Relief from the cold weather which
throughout the nation has caused
more than 80 deaths this week among
unemployed or unprepared workers
and their families is promised for to-
day by the federal weather bureau.
The official forecast predicts fair
weather with slowly rising tempera-
ture for today.
With hundreds of thousands of
workers unemployed in all sections
of the United States and Canada and
far larger number forced to sub
sist on few dollars week, further
intense suffering, however, is fore
seen as winter sets in.
Many were turned away again last
night from New York lodging houses
where hundreds sought shelter. SINH
lar conditions prevailed in Chicago.
Detroit, Philadelphia, Butte and Other
cities, where temperatures in most
instances were lower than those in
New York, according to yesterdays
dispatches.
NEED More Snelter.
A group of professional humani-
tarians and charity workers, headed
by Edward Underwood, of the Saliva
ton Army, called on Bird S. Coler,
New York Commissioner of Public
Welfare, yesterday, to appeal to him
to double the capacity of the New
York Municipal Lodging House, AZ
Il. 25th Street. All available beds
were taken early last night at the
Municipal Lodging House and more
than 100 were allowed to sleep in
chairs in the dining room. Facilities
are likewise over-taxed at other pub
lie shelters here, where the number Of
applicants is reported grow in G
nightly.
Buffalo Workers Hit.
Though the present cold wave was
expected to abate, dispatches showed
that increased gales, snow and cold
had brought additional suffering to
many cities. Five deaths as lar south
as Birmingham, Ala, were cited in
delayed reports.
Railroad, street railway and cleo
trical workers were especially eff
fected by a 42-mile gale with ID
inches of snow at Buffalo, yester-
days dispatches indicated. Railroad
and motor transportation was seri-
ously hampered there.
In New York and other cities taxi
cab, truck and delivery car drivers
and teamsters found their work made
doubly difficult through insufficient
protection from the cold.
Investigation here yesterday indi-
Gated that Mrs. Josephine Burke, 80
year-old mother, who died in her
apartment at SO Kent St., Brooklyn,
Tuesday, had been destitute since the
death of her husband four months
ago. Other tenants were attracted
to her apartment by the crying of
her 4-year-old son beside her body.
She had died in the night. Death was
officially reported due to "heart
disease"
