BY PAUL r. MALLON

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The

to the House today with notice from
the Senate that it probably could
be passed there over a presidential
veto if that contingency arose.
BY SO to 23-three votes more

yesterday adopted the measure pro-
posing to establish a $400,000,000 re-
volving fund by which farmers
could withhold their surpluses from
the market under the equalization
fee system.
The Senate's action was taken
in the face of what is regarded as
certain veto Of the measure by
President Coolidge.
AS finally adopted the bill pro-
vides:
Establishment Of farm board
of thirteen members to watch the
production of and demand for

members, selected by the President

.GALLOWS STAY
FOR GANG CAR
Birger, Doomed to Moose,
Faces Sanity Test.

BIZ United Press
BENTON, ILL.,, April 13.-Charlie
Birger, southern Illinois gang lord,
has escaped, for four days at least,
the gallows, on which he was to have
been hanged this morning.
The Franklin County Circuit
Court last night granted a four day
stay of execution to permit a hear
ing on Birger's sanity.
Birger's attorneys said if the
court found Birger sane, there still
would remain chance of appeal
from the decision.
Final preparations had been made
by Sheriff Ben Pritchard for Birger's
execution, which was to have been
the last hanging in Illinois. A re-
cent law provides electrocution as
the death penalty.
The condemned gangster wit
messed the final preparations of the
gallows from the window of his
death cell.
"I wish I had gallon of soup
(nitro-glycerin), to take you all to
hell with me-" he shouted at the
workmen.

down at sea, the one hope is that
it would land near a vessel--just
as the American Girl, carrying Ruth
Elder and Captain George Halde-
man, did last summer near the
Azores.
There were possibly 200 ships
scattered over the Great Circle
course.
Among these were the Majestic,
the Mauretania, the Albert BALM,
Cleveland, Veendam, Cedric, Min
newaska, Muenchen, Stockholm and
Laurentic.
On board each a careful watch
was being made for sight of the
airplane.
Experts believed the three flyers
were risking their lives in hope
less gamble. 1t was recalled that
in the last year seven persons lost
their lives in a challenge of the
westward course. Koehl and
Huenfeld had to turn back once last
summer.
Even in Germany there was
criticism. Only one newspaper
failed to criticise the attempt as al
most foolhardy.
Knew They Tempted Fate
The fiiers themselves realized
they were tempting the fates. Fitz-
maurice and Koehl, both Catholics,
went to confession before the take
off.
Then Fitzmaurice left this mes
sage:
II hope that my presence in the
Bremen's crew will bring honor to
Ireland and act as stimulus to Irish
aviation. God willing, we shall
reach New York and claim the con-
quest of the western crossing Of the
Atlantic by air"
Won Huenfeld left this message
to the Irish people:
MAY God into whose omnipo-
tent hand we place the success of
our enterprise, fulfill for this island
and it's people, with their inspiring
history, our grateful prayer for their
happy future"

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 13.-
Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard of
the Ku-Klux Klan, faced a gruell-
ing cross examination in Federal
Court today in the suit of the Klan
against five rebel" members.
The crOSS-queStioning was done
by Van A. Barrickman, of the de-
PENDANTS and counsel in the trial
in which the Klan is seeking dam
ages and a restraining injunction.
Evans was called by B. H. Con-
naughton, Klan counsel, as a sur
prise witness of the day, when the
Klan resumed its rebuttal testimony.
Enters Blanket Denial
Connaughton endeavored to use
Evans as a direct rebuttal witness
against all the derogatory testimony
which the defendants had used
against the Klan.
The imperial wizard entered
blanket denial to every charge of
unlawfulness, including murder,
floggings, burnings at the stake,
bcrlbings and rioting.
Barrickman fought hard with the
witness under cross s-eXaninatiOn.
The pointed feature Of the Evans
testimony was his answer to Bar
rickman's question, DIR. Evans, you
were at Carnegie, Pa, Aug. 25 1923,
and could have stopped the parade
that resulted in murder, riot and
blo0dshed?"
ooh, suppose I could have"
Evans replied.
Denies Tar Parties
The imperial wizard denied that
men were ever burned, flogged or
tarred and feathered by the Klan.
He further stated the organization
would not tolerate such action.
Evans continued his denial of
every statement previously made by
| defense witnesses that a band of
riders existed within the Klan. He
refuted the statements that an
organization of that nature took
part in any official acts of the Klan.
"Were you at Buckeye Lake, Ohio,
when the. Klan held a meeting
there?"
II was" replied Evans.
did you not shake hands with
the leader of this gang of murder
ing night riders as he approached
you on the speakers PLATFORM"
Il did" was Evans answer.
Then he continued: "They Of
fered me their services, but 1 re-
! 70 70 rJC J,
them"
Then Barrickman began his cross
examination in earnest.
"Are you not the head Of a mill
tary organization of which you are
the commander in chief?"
"No, I am not, but I am the head
of a patriotic organization that is
military in nature" came from
Evans.
Evans memory did not serve him
we'll on several points brought be-
fore him by Barrickman, to which
Barrickman remarked: "You have a
rather convenient memory, DR..
Evans"
SCOTS at Charge
Barrickman then wanted to know
if Evans ever made a speech where
he stated that if the Klan did not
take things in hand, the pope
would be over here running things"
"Emphatically no." said Evans,
The croSS-examination of the i'm
perial wizard was over when Judge
w. S. Thomson objected to further
delay in the case.
Then very dramatically Evans
asked the judge if he could make
a statement. The court refused the
request and Evans left the stand as
Barrickman remarked, "That man
makes too many statements for the
| good of the country"
