Sheriff Thomas w. Cunningham of
Philadelphia was declared by the Su-
preme Court today to be subject to ar
rest by the Senate for questioning con-
corning his refusal to answer certain
questions in connection with the inves-
tigation of the election of William S.
Ware as Senator from Pennsylvania.
During the investigation by the inves-
tigating committee, Cunningham tes-
titled that he had contributed $50,00C
to the Republican State committee
during the 1926 campaign and that his
salary at the time as clerk of the
Quarter Sessions Court was $4,000
Upon the advice of counsel he refused
to answer any question touching on the
source of his funds or the manner o.
their accumulation.
He was arrested on warrant issued
by the President of the Senate, under
a resolution directing that he be
brought before the Senate to answer
questions and that he be held in Gus
tody until further order of the Senate
Cunningham, at once sought by
habeaS corpus proceedings to obtain
his release, claiming that ne had twice
appeared before the committee as g
put questions, but refused to disclose
private affairs into which the commit
Tee had no legal authority to inquire.
The Federal District Court at Phila-
delphia refused to release him, but the
Circuit Court of Appeals held he had
acted within his rights, and discharged
him from arrest.

Catholic authorities"
The writer of the plot letter said he
had given Detroit police the names of

Legislation Authorizing I'M
mediate Acquisition of Prop
erty Is Expected to Pass.
SIMMONS WILL PRESS
FOR EARLY DECISION
Method of Financing Airport Prof.
ect Should Be Made Plain,
Chairman Insists.

Legislation authorizing immediate
use of 100000, now available in the
Federal Treasury, as surplus taxes paid
by District property owners, for acouisi-
ton of the four parcels of land between
Third and Sixth streets, Pennsylvania
avenue, Indiana avenue and Louisiana
avenue, for site of the new municipal
center, is expected to pass at the pres
ent extra session Of Congress.
Chairman Simmons of the subcom-
mittee, handling District appropriations,
said today that if any appropriations
are authorized by legislation at this
session he will be insistent that the
municipal center appropriation is
included.
Believes Emergency Exists.
He believes paramount emergency
exists, since property owners in that
area already know that this is to be the
Site OF the municipal center and the
cost to the Government and to District
taxpayers would steadily increase were
actual purchase delayed. He sees no
reason for delay since the amount re-
quired is already in the Treasury with
an understanding that it is to be used
for this purpose.
Chairman Simmons also emphasized
today that if legislation is passed carry
ing out recommendations of the joint
Congressional Airport Commission he
will insist that the method of financing
this project, urged as an emergency,
must be made plain. AS, according to
present plans, any one member on the
unanimous consent could block this
legislation in the House, Chairman
Simmons statement is equivalent to
serving notice that he will feel it his
duty to record objection unless the
method of financing is definitely stated.
S500,000 for Purchase Proposed.
Proponents of the airport legislation
have told Mr.. Simmons that the pro-
posal is for the Federal Government
to pay the first $500,000 for acquisi-
ton of the air field to be used by
| Government departments as well as
serving as municipal airport and that
all of the rest of the cost of the field
and development of great airport is

same proportion as all other expenses
of the District are met, urder the

ton.

ROME. May 27.-King Victor En-
manuel III today signed and ratified
the Lateran treaties between the italian

other ministers in the Quirnal Palace.
The treaties will be published in the
official gazette tomorrow or Wednes-
day and subsequently the duce and
Cardinal Gasparri will formally ex-
change ratifications at date and place
not yet decided.
The first visit of the italian sovereigns,
accompanied by Premier Mussolini, to
his holiness is now only a matter of
days. the Tribuna said this afternoon
The Vatican authorities have not yet
decided whether the visit should take
the form of solemn reception. such as
on the last visit of King Alfonso of
Spain, or follow the simpler model set
at the last call Of King Albert of Bel
GUM.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate manufactures committee
reversed itself today and voted, to s.,
to conduct the proposed investigation
Of the textile industry itself rather
than have the Federal Trade Commits
sion do so.
Chairman La Toilette announced that
the same members who voted in favor
of the Senate inquiry voted to report
the resolution to the Senate. He said,
however, that the Senators who voted
against reporting the resolution did SO,
not because they opposed an inquiry
into working conditions in the textile
industry, but because they thought the
investigation should be made by the
Federal Trade Commission.
The intention of the resolution is to
have the manufactures committe or
subcommittee make the inquiry. 1t
would embrace the entire industry.
Chairman La Toilette said he would
endeavor to receive Senate approval of
the investigation as early as possible.

PARLEy NEAR END,
ACCORD UNLIKELY
Debt Report, Leaving Prob

BY the Associated Press.

6y tne Associated PfeSS.
PARIS, May 27.-End of the long
conference of experts on reparations
was believed today to be at hand, with
such further meetings as the experts
may arrange intended more to find
substitute for the word failure" than
to reach an accord
These efforts, it was believed, would
take the form of report to the gov
ernments concerned, such as the experts
have been formulating for the last few
weeks, which would state expressly
points of agreement and disagreement
and leave the problem of getting to-
gether to the governments for diplo-
matte negotiation.
There was some optimism, but it
seemed to be the optimism of sentiment
rather than of fact. Certain French
circles, for instance, charged the refusal
of DR.. Hjalmar Schacht German Spokes-
man, to recede further in an effort at
compromise was bluff" 1t was argued
he must know the consequences to his
country's credit if the conference failed
to reach an agreement and would
abandon his stand before he would lei
the experts disband in failure.
Look to Young and Morgan.
i Other circles looked to owen d
Young and his companion American
delegate. j. P. Morgan, to find way
out of the impasse. In its Is weeks oi
life the conference survived so many
vicissitudes and still lived that there
today was widespread disinclination tt
believe it had finally reached its de-
nouement.
AS far as was known today, after 6
conference of the creditor nation eX.
pertS with Dr. Schacht yesterday, the
gulf between the two viewpoints yaWnec
as wide as ever, with DR.. Schacht ad'
amant on at least three points.
These seemed to be, first, that Ger
many could pay no larger amount thar
the 2,050,000,000 marks (about $492,-
000000) annuities proposed in the COM
promise offer of Mr.. Young; second
that Germany could not grant the
Belgian demand for additional annuities
or 25,000,000 marks to cover deprecated
currency; third, that the new plan, II
an agreement is reached, should become
effective almost at once instead of in
definite postponement. as the creditor
nations have insisted
Germans Fail to Reply.
The Germans have failed to reply to
the creditors memorandum concerning
conditions and reservations to the an
nuities recently suggested by Mr.
Young. At the German headquarters
it was said that no written reply will
be made, since DR.. Hialmar Schacht
chief of the German delegation, eX-
planned the German position amply to
Mr.. Young
This explanation, as communicated tc
the creditors by Chairman Young. made
no change in the situation and this
morning 1t was decided to try last
desperate measure.
This effort has been received with
sympathy in expert circles here but
without any real sign of confidence.

Seized in Baltimore Washington.

Commissioner Doran of the Prohi-

in the last 10 months dry agents in
the Baltimore Washington district raid
ed $40 stills and seized 81 ,682 gallons
of whisky, 2,258,357 gallons of whisky
mash and 5l9 automobiles.
During the period, he added, total
of 3,l95 prohibition prosecutions were
instituted in the Federal courts in the
Baltimore district
Doran declared he made public the
figures of the drive against the manu-
facturers of Illicit liquor as a result
of a recommendation by Baltimore
Federal grand jury which advised that
prohibition agents direct attention to
the source of supply rather than at
"hip-pocket'' purveyors.
The commissioner contended the fig
ures showed agents had done so and
that they would continue their cam
paign against illicit stills.
