HOUSE FLO
FIGURES CLASH
New Bill of $325,OO0,OO0
Estimated as Fair.
BIZ United Press

BIZ HtteG PfeSS
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Widely
varying estimates of cost for the
Mississippi flood control project
were given to the House Rules
Committee who have studied the
problem since last November.
Chairman Reed of the Flood Com
mittee said the 1925, 100000 provided
in the new Jones-Reed bill was a
very fair figure, while Representa-
tive Fear CRep), Wisconsin, esti-
mated ultimate expenditures. at
$1,000,000,00 Representative Cox
(Rep), Georgia, said the project
would cost $75OOOO,O0O and perhaps
a billion.
The flood committee members
urged early consideration by the
House.
The rules committee will an
nounce its decision later 1t is eX-
pected to grant right of way to the
flood bill for the last Of next week.
Chairman Reed urged the bill as
the best compromise possible, but
criticised adoption of the engineer
ing plan drafted by Maj. Gen. Ed
gar Jadwin, Army engineer chief. He
said he favors leaving the plan to
the board provided under the meas
ure because of the magnitude Of
flood control.
Representative Kopp CRepD, Iowa,
favored the bill because it adopts a
plan and because it places respon-
sibility directly under the Presi-
dent.

ROBINSON talk
hit AS 'PIFFLE'
Walsh Scores Indianian in
Senate Reply.
EV JHitcd Press

~ Hutd Press
WASHINGTON, April 5.-No one
ever has dared to assert Governor
Al Smith of New York is not an
honest man, and the insinuations
made against him by Senator Rob-
inson Of Indiana are mere piffle, ,"
Senator Walsh of Montana told the
Senate today.
Walsh who, like Smith, is a can
didate for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination, offered rebuttal Of
Robinson'S recent accusations against
prominent Democrats.
Walsh said the "heinous crime"
which Robinson charged against
Smith was that he appointed Harry
Sinclair as New York racing COM
missioner in 1922 Walsh added
that Robinson was the sole au-
thority for another charge, that
Smith received a campaign contri-
button from Sinclair in 1920
IT presume no one could find any
particular culpability if the cam
paign managers of Governor Smith
did take a contribution from Sin
clair" Wash said.
But the attack of the Senator
from Indiana is particularly directed
against me-" Walsh said. Speaking
of the oil probes, Walsh said, "If
they had been private cases. the
court would have allowed me a fee
which would make me richer than I
ever desire to be-"
"But L have been better paid by
the gratitude of. the American peo-
pie, which the Senator from Indi-
ana now is attempting to snatch
away from me-" he added.

and as such deserve to die, anyway"
When the oldest child of Arapi,
who was the father Of seven chill
dren, appeared before President 70
gu and asked for clemency the presi-
dent assured him that his father
would not be slain. The same even
ing a patrol of gendarmes appeared
at the prison, escorted the three men
to the market place where three
gibbets had been constructed. About
two hundred people collected at 1870
in the morning and sullenly wit
messed one of the cruelest executions
in history. According to Albanian
law free speech was granted on the
gallows.
"You Are All Traitors"
Arapi stood stalwart and tall on
the kerosene box under the gallows
with the moose about his neck.
"What difference does it make how
man dies? he cried to the prose-
cutor. II am only sorry I got my
sentence from a Grecomaniac like
you and a traitor who has always
plotted against Albanian independ-
ence. But that doesn't matter-you
will all be brought to trial. You are
all traitors. Ahmed Zogu treacher-
ously gave Vermosh and St. Nacum
to Jugoslavia. You and all your
subordinates are sons of Mussolini."
He was cut short by gendarme
who demanded that he be hung i'm
mediately. But the prosecutor
granted his last request-he took a
handful of coins in the possession of
Arapi and put them in his pocket
for future distribution among the
poor, as Arapi had requested.
All three men died a horrible
death. They were allowed to hang
with their feet just touching the
cobbles on the market place until
they died. In one case the tripod
was dislodged and the soldiers held
it aloft until Georgieff's body re-
manned still. 1t took Is minutes for
him to die.
The next morning the gendarmes
removed the bodies at 10 o'clock in
stead of at noon which was the Gus
tom. The hanging had aroused too
much resentment among the in
habitants of Tirana and had spread
through the country like wild-fire.
