BACKING

Congress may take speedy action
today to prevent the historic air
mail flight of Col. Charles A. Lind.

cause of forced abandonment Of the
Pan-American route for which he
blazed the trail.
Unless legislation is enacted the
new air mail route from Miami to
Latin-American must be abandoned,
Representative Clyde Kelly (R of
Pennsylvania, declared.
The return OF "Lindy,' newly en-.
gagged and again acclaimed for his
flying feats, was expected to dissi.
pate the opposition which has
blocked the measure in Congress.
Unable to Bring Mail
Because of a defect in legislation,
Colonel Lindbergh was unable to
accept all OF the mail offered for
the return trip from Panama.
The omission of one word in the
law under which the Latin-Ameri-
can route was established caused
all the difficulty Congress pro-
vided that the Postoffice Depart
met could contract for air mail
from" the United States to for
eign countries. But the law did
not say Ito" as we'll as from"

Haley G. Douglass, grandson OF

The church is commemorative OF

CONGRESS
NEARING
JAM
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
The Lame duck" session of the
seventieth Congress rolled along
toward its scheduled death two
weeks from today with both House
and Senate calendars crowded,
while Administration leaders sought
to complete their legislative pro-
gram.
The Jones bill. increasing penal
ties for prohibition violators, occu-
pied the Senate, while the House
debated a bill providing 44-hour
week for postal employees. Hun
dreds of other measures crowded
the calendars in both branches, and
there were indications the dying
Congress is rapidly running into
the usual closing legislative jam.
Supply Bills Worry
The Coolidge spokesmen in the
House were concerned chiefly with
getting the final appropriation bills
enacted. The naval BILL with its
funds for launching the new cruiser
building program, the legislative ap-
preparation bill financing the actlVi-
ties of Congress itself, and the Sec
ond deficiency appropriation bill,
providing funds for nearly all Gov
ernment departments, must be en-
acted before the adjournment. Once
these bills have been passed, Ad-
ministrat ton leaders will be ready
to stage obsequies for the dying
Congress.
The Senate had the Jones bill,
the Edge resolution for a survey of
the proposed Nicaraguan canal. and
the Glass bill, purchasing market
site in the District of Columbia. on
its preferential program. Groups OF
Senators, however, we're urging
action on the Dill resolution. extend
ing the life of the Federal Radio
Commission for another year; the
Fess railroad consolidation bill and
the House reappcrtionment bill.
ReappOrtiOnment Doomed
The reapportionment and the Fess
bills apparently will be killed in the
legislative jam. The radio resolution
probably will be enacted at a special
session Administration leaders ex-
pect to stage tomorrow night. There
will be other night sessions, too, be-
fore adjournment, for action. on
minor legislation affecting indi-
Viduals or local communities.
The Senate also faced another stiff
task-that of confirming number of
presidential appointments. The re-
nomination of former Gov. Pat Neff,
of Texas. to the Federal Mediation
Board, has met with opposition and
day probably will he set aside later
in. the week to settle the contro-
versy. His confirmation, while pre-
dicted by the Coolidge Administra-
ton, was by no means assured.

a description of the slayers' auto

dent II. Wallace Caldwell, of the
board of education and Elmer r.
Lewis, employee of the Beaver
Paper Company.
Caldwell said lie saw car which
he took for a detective bureau We
hicle, run past a red light going
north near the scene of the, slaugh-
ter. So close was the educator to
the automobile that he noticed one
of the occupants lacked one OF his
front teeth.
Waved On Way
Lewis drove across the street
intersection and stopped. He started
to where the driver Of the killers
car was trying to straighten the
fender, presuming that the men in
the car were detectives. The killers
driver. however, waved him on, as
though the accident was trivial.
Lewis stepped back into his truck
and drove to 21295 N. Clark St,
almost opposite the shooting, where
he delivered some merchandise.
He saw the men leave the car and
go into the Moran Garage. He did
not rotice any Of them in police

Lewis heard the machine guns.
He thought, however, that the noise
was the backfire of a truck.
His evidence, now supported by
garded as of utmost importance by
States attorneys Investigators and
chief of detectives John Egan and
Captain William Shoemaker.
Convinced that they were on the
right track, Chicago police intensi-
fled their search for Jack McGurn,
chief aid to AL Capone. McGurn is
Chicago's master gunner.
Caprone is an arch enemy OF
Moran for many reasons. McGurn
has been Capone's North Side mus
Gle man" man.
McGurn's machine-gun experience.
the police say, marks him as the
man to direct such a wholesale kill
ing as last Thursday 9. Furthermore,
he is known to have been investigat-
ing the hi.jacking activities of the
Morans.
Moran is allied with the Canadian
liquor syndicate, headed by Frank
Parker. In fact Moran and Ted
Newberry are the Chicago chiefs.
Parker. a former Chicagoan sup.
piled the liquor. Moran and New
berry distributed it.
The Morton syndicate of Chicago
is the other organization. Paul Nor.

syndicate is the purple gang of De-
treit.

Capone gave this writer the i'm.
preston of being an exceedingly
restless man. When you meet him
face to face he does not seem to lie
the sinister figure he has been
painted. He moved about among
his guests, most solicitous and affa-

party in any sense, and it hroke

The much publicized Capone Is a

rather heavily built. He is dark.
complexioned and his black hair is
thinning in the front. His dark.
brown eyes gaze at you directly

There are three faint scars across

Capone's household includes two

Of walters.
The Capone home is located on

Decidedly the latest evening gowns
are not adapted to the hopping mode
of dancing. So we may foresee change
to a slower and more sinuous movement
that will better accord with the present

Fluttering draperies, filmy tulle and
sweeping trains do not go at all well

And from all appearances the very
feminine mode for eveni:.y has the full

no doubt stay with us for time.
Therefore, it behooves the woman
who wants to appear at her best to
cultivate that feminine grace and charm
that was not demanded in the day of

something of tn. mannish sports mode.
To complete this picture the couture,
too, must be in accord. With graceful

Winter Parties for Youngsters

There isn't the slightest chance that
YOUR husband will show his privileges
as host by sliding down the bannlsterS
or that your next door neignoor Wlu
decide to settle scores with your neign-
Dor from across the street by throwing
A sofa cushion at her head or that any
one will fall down the stairs or for
any reason need the first aid kit. It Is
highly improbable that any OF the boys
invited viii pull the hair OF any OF
the girls or that your best china Will
be broken or your best bric-a-brAc
smashed.
The chances are that your friends
are fairly used to going to parties ana
that even though your party turns out
to be a very successful one none OF
YOUR guests will yield to the rulings OF
mob impulse and do things that they
would not do were they paying call.
But with children it is quite differ

It is terribly humiliating to Brother

the party from about $3.50 until 6, with
refreshments served at S. Ice cream,
cakes and other sweets usually COM

were candies and sweet drinks besides

The shoes shown for wear at the
Southern resorts are, of course, in
dicative Of those every one will be wear
ing when warm weather comes north
ward
One judges, from seeing these new
shoes, that the vogue for elaborate foot
wear is by no means waning. For the
new Summer shoes are as colorful and
ornate as any We have had.
Shoes in whole or in part Of dress
fabrics are in greater vogue than ever.
Printed challis is used in bright colorS
for some of the Southern resort shoes.
Sometimes the print is combined with
plain fabric for the vamp, sometimes
the print is used for the whole shoe.
Polka-dotted shoes in crepe and fig
ured crepe shoes vie with those of crepe
in the color of the frock for popularity.
The plain, dark crepe de chine shoe
certainly has the advantage of making
the foot seem smaller. But shoes of the
present vogue are cut on such dainty
lines, with their high heels and their
low sides that show the arch Of the
foot, their slender straps emphasizing
the instep and their modified pointed
toes that make them not too long, that
nobody much minds about how big her
foot looks. It looks smart-and what Il
an apparent quarter size more or less
compared with that?
Sometimes the body of the shoe is 81
nlain crepe de chine, and the heels alone
are of figured material. With painted
designs, sometimes.
And embroidered silk is also used fol-
some of the smart shoes taken to the
south. The foundation of the shoe Is
shantung and pongee, and 1t is en-
broidered in pastel or brighter colors
In silk.
These shoes described are not fol
sports wear. For that purpose there are
shoes of white antelope combined with
tan or brown leather banding. Or there
