$50 votes on the first ballot, and
that he will pick up the majority

guess work and speculation, with

officers and arms for the Albanian army.

watched Italy strengthen her hold Fiume the Croa

one object and that is to invade their country.

DAWES REFUSES
TO NAME POWER
PROBE BOARD
BY KENNTH G.. CRAWFORD
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. = Vice
President Charles G. Dawes an
nounced to the senate today that
he is financially interested in power
concerns which the senate would in
vestigate under the Walsh resolu-
tion and therefore he would decline
to appoint the investigation COM
mittee if the resolution is adopted.
This development came at the
outset of the bitter senate power
fight when Senator Walsh of Mon
tana called up his amended resolu-
tion providing for committee of
five senators to investigate the in
terrelation of power companies. I'm.
der the resolution the vice president
would appoint the investigators.
Dawes made his statement shortly
after Senator Walsh of Massachu.
setts had announced he would press
for action on a bill to compel lob
byists to register with the senate.
Charges have been made that a
great power lobby has been holding
up action on the Walsh resolution.
"I do not desire to avoid my re-
sponsibility in this matter" Dawes
told the senate, "but inasmuch as
1 am financially interested in some
of the concerns to be investigated,
/ think I should be relieved of the
duty of appointing the investigating
committee
Walsh of Montana agreed and al
tered his resolution so as to provide
that the senate itself should elect
the investigators.

COLUMBIA FIELD, Havana,
Feb. 13.-By the light of a tropic
moon, Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
early today bade farewell to the
land of his goodwill conquest and
headed his plane toward st. Louis
and home.
1t was just 1925 a. m. when Lind
bergh took off from Columbia field
for a nonstop flight of 1900 miles
to st. Louis. He expects to bring
his Spirit of st. Louis to rest on
Lambert Field, ST. Louis by dusk.
The takeoff, utterly lacking in
ceremony, was strongly reminiscent
of that morning early last May
when he hoped off from New York
on his epochal flight to Paris.
1t had been announced that
"Lindy' would leave about 6:30
n. m, but the plans were switched
suddenly last night.
Thousands who had planned to
bid him farewell were disappointed.
Only a handful of spectators was
presented when the young flyer
stepped in his ship and lifted his
plane from the ground on the final
leg of his good will tour of Latin
America.
The noise of the army band which
came to participate in the farewell
and the roar of his motor as Lind
bergh prepared for the takeoff, a
Weakened the guests in the nearby
tourist hotel and many came run
ming across the field with clothes
hastily thrown over their pajamas.
Returns to Field
After disappearing in the dark
ness, the great silver ship returned
and circled three times over the
field, swooping down until it was
only 300 feet from the ground.
Lindbergh 8 engine seemed to
misfirc and the crowd gasped with
fear.
There were shouts of "he's in
trouble" and "look out, he's COM
ing down.
But he circlcd back again and
signalled with his flashlight that
the engine was working smoothly.
After circling three more times,
he pointed his ship to the north and
was gone.
As he sailed away into the dark
ness to his native land he carried
with him the affections and respect
of II LatinAmerican countries
which he visited on his tour.

COMMITTEE TO

MISSING BONDS
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The
Senate Teapot Dome committee set
its investigators working today on
confidential tip that prominent
oil man distributed bonds in $4,000
lots to state political organizations
over the country several years ago.
Senator Walsh of Montana order
ed this trail pursued as follow-up
to evidence given the committee that
Harry Sinclair, indicted oil man,
gave $75,000-part of it at least in
Liberty bonds of the mysterious
Continental Trading company of
Canada-to pay off part of the 1929

ATTORNEYS HAVE
| NO HOPE OF NEW
HICKMAN TRIAL
Defense to Concentrate
Efforts on Appeal to
Supreme Court.
By DAN CAMPBELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

lOulIeu IleSS OLdll SOiIcSDOllucuIj
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.-An
hope that Judge J. J. Trabucco will
set aside the verdict in the trial of
William Edward Hickman for the
murder of Marion Parker or that
Hickman will be acquitted in the
alleged Staying of c. Ivy Thoms,
had been abandoned by the defense
today.
Attorney Richard Cantillon told
the United Press that the defense
was concentrating it's efforts upon
an appeal to the supreme court,
which will be filed Immediately ar
ter Judge Trabucco's expected re-
fusal and passing of sentence to-
morrow.
The appeal will be based upon the
contention that Hickman was
tried only for his sanity at the time
of the Parker murder and not for
the crime itself. The state law
which permits sentence under such
conditions is unconstitutional, the
defense alleges.
This alleged unconstitutionality
will be the only issue at stake, as
far as Hickman is concerned, when
he and Welby Hunt 60 to trial for
the murder of Toms, during a hold
up at his Rosehill Pharmacy, Can
tillon said.
"We do not expect to attempt to
prove Hickman s innocence or his
guilt in Toms DEATH" Cantillon de-
clared. "We are merely going to
attempt to establish Hickman in
sanity, following the same procedure
we did in the Parker case.
"Let the prosecution bring on its
evidence. Regardless of who shot
Toms, both Hickman and Hunt are
equally guilty in the eyes of the
state. They were both there.
"Hickman has entered pleas OF
not guilty and not guilty by reason
of insanity in the Toms case. We
will base any appeal in this mat
ter upon the constitutionality of
the law which permits him to enter
two pleas. We feel that his sanity
should be the only issue at trial
so the appeals in both cases would
be practically the same. "
Hunt Main Attraction
The statement by Cantillon came
shortly after attorneys for Hunt
had admitted that the 16 year OLD
youth might turn states evidence
against Hickman.
Hunt entered a plea of not guilty
when arraigned several weeks ago.
In the event he changes his plea to
guilty he will still be subject to a
sentence of life imprisonment, De-
putty District Attorney Clifford
Thoms said.
cit was expected that Hunt s
battle for freedom will be the fea'
ture of the trial. Cantillon said
that it would take only q day for
Hickman s defense to be presented,
but that he did not know what Gray
Gilmer, Hunts attorney, was pan
ming.
"We re devoting all of our time
to the preparation of the appeal
and we have had little planned for
the Toms trial. Cantillon said
Gas far as we are concerned a
postponement would be an aid and
it is entirely possible that we will
request a delay Wednesday,"
Regardless of the sentence I'm
posed tomorrow by Judge Trabucco,
Hickman must go to trial for the
! Toms murder, the district attorney s
| office announced.
