FESS TO OFFER BILL
FOR SUMMER HOME
Suggestions for Presidential Vaca-
ton Retreat Takes More
Definite Form.

The suggestion that week end vaca-
ton retreat for the President should
be established somewhere in the
countryside near the Capital began to
take more definite shape today when it
was learned that Senator Fess, Republi-
can, of Ohio, plans to introduce bill
on the subject.
Within the past few days President
Coolidge has made known to callers that
he is favorably inclined toward the
proposal The announcement by Sena-
tor Fess is the first definite move to
carry out the idea.
MY observation of the responsibility
evolving upon the Chief Executive has
impressed upon me the tremendous
burden it involves" Senator Fess said.
when a President journeys long dis
tance from Washington for relaxation
from his official duties an entire insti-
tuition must be moved with him. If a
Summer White House was established
at some appropriate spot easily access
ible from Washington the President
could obtain short periods of rest and
change from official surroundings from
time to time.
II think the proposal to have a Sum-
mer home for the head of the Nation
near the Capital is an excellent idea"

Gated what the details of his bill will

could get it amended in conformity with
his objection, Mr.. Zihlman giving him
assurance that the bill as 1t now stands

S1O4,5|)O PAY ROLL
STOLEN IN HOLD-UP
Armed Bandits Loot Banks
Collection Car, Escaping
With Money.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
YONKERS, N. Y. December 12-In
a daylight hold-up in the heart of this
city's business section, seven or eight
robbers opened fire this morning on the
collection car of the First National Bank
and escaped with a $104.500 pay roll
after wounding one of the bank> guards.
The collection wagon, partly
armored automobile. was transporting
the pay roll from the post Office to the
bank for later delivery to the Alexander
Smith g. Sons Carpet Co., one of the
largest organizations of its kind in the
world The bank guards and city
policeman were riding in the car.
At street intersection in the center
of the city group of men in another
car opened fire on the bank car, shoot
ing directly through the windshield
Adolph Kautter, one of the guards, was
shot through the arm The other
guards and policemen were subdued by
the robbers, who escaped with the pay
roll toward New York City, switching
on the way from their original automo-
bile with a Jersey license, which they
deserted to another car.
Police Chief Quirk made an imme-
diate report to State police and New
York City police, asking assistance in
apprehending the robbers.
The Smith pay roll comes by mail to
Yonkers from the Federal reserve dis
trict in New York City and is then
taken first to the First National Bank
in the collection wagon. This custom
was apparently known to the robbers,
who evidently executed the hold-up in
accordance with a carefully pre-
arranged plan. There were four bags of
money in the car. The shooting began
so abruptly that neither the policeman
nor the guards had any chance TO use
their pistols. Witnesses said the rob-
bers had pistols and repeating rifle.
and one woman, leaning from window
above the hold-up, said there was ma
chine gun in play.
After subduing the driver the bandits
drilled hole IN the rear of the wagon
to enable them to reach in and unfasten
the doors.

sat silently on the witness stand today
before the public lands committee while
testimony he had given two years ago
was read to the Senators who are con-
sidering whether his confirmation to
the cabinet post shall be recommended.
The Secretary, who received his ap-
pointment while Congress was in recess,

committee headed by Senator Reed,
Democrat, Missouri, told Of his invest
ments in the Samuel insult utility in
terests and Of campaign activities In
Chicago and Illinois. The reading clerk

hcited $4,000 contribution from In
sull, which was to be used for ''local
purposes only in the 1926 campaign.
Invest in insult Interests.
West said he, his wife and his mother
had invested in the insult interests and
that he had consulted insult about
those investments. The 1926 testimony
was placed in the record at the re-
quest of Senator Walsh, Democrat,
Montana. After its reading the commit
tee recessed until later in the day when
Mr.. Vests examination was to be con-
tinued.
Tomorrow Dr. Hubert Work, who pre-
ceded Mr.. West in Office, will be ques-
toned especially as to the renewal of
the contract held bV Harry F. Sinclair
on Salt Creek Royalty Oil owned by the
Government. This contract was renewed
during DR.. Works term Of Office in the
Interior Department. 1t was later held
invalid by the Department Of Justice
and was cancelled. Several other Gov
eminent officials have been called to
give testimony on the same subject.
Poses for Photographers.
West reached the committee room
today ahead of the members. At the
hour set for opening the hearing only
four members were present, and Chair
man Nye, insisting upon a quorum,
waited until enough were present to
constitute working majority. Secre-
tary West occupied the. time by posing
with Senators for photographers.
The questioning was begun by Sena-
tor Walsh, who asked the reading of
Vests testimony in 1926 There were
several printed pages relating to activi-
ties of the Republican party in the
1925 campaign in Cook County.
Mr.. West supported the late Senator
Mckinley of Illinois in his primary
fight with Frank L. Smith, who cap
tured the Republican senatorial nomi-
nation. Smith was denied the oath of
Office by the Senate.
