Farm Relief Chance Slim
Farm relief, as usual, occupied q
front seat at the session beginning
today, but there were few on Capitol
Hill who believe there is a China
mans chance of passing any major
program before March A.
The farm, bloc itself is split on the
desirability of attempting it, and the
split extends generally throughout
both houses. There is a well-defined
feeling that more can be hoped for
from the new Congress, which
President.elect Hoover has promised
will be called into session immedi'

rather wild time with his driving

of reckless driving. His ease was
continued for plea because of lack
of interpreter and the defendant
rcmanded to the county Jail in de-
fault of $50 bail.
The arrest was made by Sheriff

The sheriff said that while they
were proceeding to IIoltville last
night in an effort to catch the
Mexican wanted in the murder of
Norman Ross, immigration inspect
CT, kanishi drove them off the road
with his truck. The sheriff said thev

that he forced a half dozen ears off
the highway. Finally the sheriff 5

might rs n last resort go to Whining

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Charges
to the effect that funds involved in
the Teapot Dome oil lease helped
pay off the Republican National
Committee s deficit in 1921 and
1922 were branded vicious and false
today by John T. Adams, former
chairman of the committee.
In copyrighted story the New
York Telegram prints Adams state
ment, the first which any Republi-
can leader has made in reference to
the gossip emanating from Wash
ington for weeks. Adams was
chairman of the Republican Nation
al committee from 1921 to 1924,
during the period referred to.
"The present Whispering cam
paign, -" says the Telegram, ere
fers to the situation after the Hard
ing campaign. At that time, because
Will Hays. then chairman had linn
tied contributions to $1,000 from
each person, the committee found
itself about $l,s00,00O0 in debt.
"In 1921, when Hays resigned to
become postmaster general and Ad-
ans was named chairman, the def
cit was still around million dol
lars. BY the close of 1928 all this
had been wiped out.
1.-The burden of the whispers
emanating from Washington is that
some of the $3,o00,OO0 profits of
the Continental Trading company
went to make up this deficit.
"Adams today made point
blank denial Of all such gossip.
"The Republican National com
mittee never received a nickel of
Continental Trading company mon
ev," he said, "and as chairman
during that time l am in q position
to know
"Adams made his statement just
before he sailed ut noon on II"
steamship Conte Biancamano for
trim 10 Italy.
q The deficit was paid off by
10000 persons who contributed
small amounts during 1921 and
1922 he said.
