continued to sift ashes from the
furnace in which her body may

The ashes and a bloody monkey
wrench constituted the evidence

Louisville newspaper man, lived.
She disappeared early in October
and it was learned she had been
advised to go to a southern sani-
tarium to be treated for a nervous
disorder.
other investigators are on their
way south today to check up on
that angle of the case.
Phillip Hanes, Negro janitor of
the apartment, was being questioned
today.
Charles Lanfron, 60, a -neighbor,
told story that started the inves-
tigation of the furnace.
Lanfron said on the night of Oct.
8 he heard groans in the furnace
room. He investigated, and upon
reaching the basement he said he
heard some one breathing deeply.
He said he feared an attack, so
returned to his apartment for a
gun. His wife persuaded him not
to return, he said.

we're found in the city dump and
ashes from them are being ana
lyzed.

WILLEBRANDT
FACES QUIZ ON
SPY SYSTEM
Espionage Over Federal
Prisons Under Fire OF
Congressman.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Mabel
Walker Willebrandt is to be uuizzed
by congress concerning some of the
things she has done as assistant
attorney general in charge of fed
eral prisons.
Her system Of espionage over fed
eral prison officials is under attack
by members of the appropriations
committee in charge of department
of justice funds, members of the
special house committee Investigate
ing penal institutions and others
in the lower body. She will appear
before the appropriations commit
tee this week.
Mrs. Willebrandt has defended
her program, which consists of plac-
ing department agents in a prison
so as to make checkup on Off
calls and their methods of admin
istration. Denying that this savors
of the stool pigeon" idea, she con-
tends that often it is necessary.
One who disagrees is Representa-
tive Tinkham, Massachusetts, who
has been acting as chairman of the
appropriations subcommittee during
recent hearings He bitterly has OPP
posed the use of what he calls
agent provocateurs" in prohibition
enforcement and other branches of
the government. He wants to know
how much federal money has been
used for this purpose by Mrs. WILLIE
brandt, and where she gets the au-
thority for such an expenditure.
Representative John j. Boylan,
New York, whose resolution led to
the prison investigation, also dis
approves the practice. He is q
member of the committee which
visited many institutions through
out the country during the summer,
and will direct a fight against the
Willebrandt system when the justice
department appropriation bill
reaches the floor. He is expected to
present an amendment providing
that no money shall be spent to
finance the so-called spy system.
THE idea inaugurated and de-
Tended by Mrs. Willebrandt," said
Representative Celler, lis vicious
and un-American. Begun by the
federal prohibition authorities, it
now is being extended, and it is
time for congress to intervene.
If Mrs. Willebrandt and other
federal officials select able and hon
est men to run our prisons in the
first place, there is no need to have
others spying on the appointees."

market for the American farmers products,
market which would have smashed and sent
hogs down from SIS to 50 if Hoover had not
stood in the breach and held the market.
He was moved entirely by sense of justice,
first to suffering humanity, and second to the
American farmer.
But he didn't get it across to the American
farmers mind. He was not politician. He
was commercial despot, with philanthropic
instincts and absolute power, who could not,
or would not, certainly did not, play the
statesman's game, and relate service to public
sentiment, and thereby corral votes
For two years after the war Hoover stood
by the American farmer and his market, using
every device known to giant operator in the
markets to maintain the farmers price. In
1921 he sent American produce into the Rus
sian famine, and between the autumn of 1921
and the late summer of 1922, 624,0O0 tons
of American farm products were unloaded in
German ports by the American relief admins
tration, and they were unloaded because
Hoover was moved, first, as man by starving
humanity and, second, as a friend of the Amer
lean farmers to coordinate the demand of the
needy and justice to the farmers in holding up
the farmers market to an equitable level Of
prices. Yet through it all he functioned as
an engineer with kindly heart, not as q
statesman crusading in cause which would

cONGREGRESSIONALS TUBBORNNESS PRE-
VENTS FARM RELIEF

Last week Congress passed the McNary-
Haugen so-caled Farm Relief bill in practically the
same form as the one vetoed by President Coolidge
little over year ago.
The rock on which the President and Congress
split was the equalization fee.
The United States Attorney General and
many other of the Nations leading attorneys pro-
nounced this feature of the bill unconstitutional
The Herald has always commended that the
fee was real menace 70 those whom the bill
purported to serve.
Senator McNary and Congressman Haugen
both understood the Presidents attitude relative to
the equalization fee.
The bill as passed early in 1927 did not Of
fer any specific relief to the farmers The Herald
editor has not read copy of the bill recently vetoed.
It is said there were some changes-that the bill
was improved, and dairying, cattle and poultry
were made basic crops along with tobacco and cot
ton.
The great trouble with the McNary-Haugen
bill is that it has been sponsored and backed by
professional farmers of the type of Frank Murphy.
The real farmer paid but very little attention to it.
Many of those who were familiar with what it pur-
ported to do were overly enthusiastic over 1T,
as they could see danger ahead
But that is past history. If the bill had the
merit claimed for it by its sponsors it would have
stood up without the equalization fee. If the fee
had been eliminated the President probably would
have signed the measure.
The Congressman from this district stated ed
torially in his newspaper several months ago that
he knew many congressman who "voted for the Nc
Nary Haugen bill with their fingers crossed" This
meant in effect that they didn't have CUTS enough
to vote their honest convictions, particularly as
they knew the President would Veto The passage
of the McNary-Haugen bill is not the first time
weakened Congress has passed the buck on to the
President.
Had Congress really desired to pass Farm Re
lief legislation compromise could have been made
with the Chief Executive of the United States.
The responsibility for failure must rest upor
