HELM RACES
FOR HOURS
Senator Riled AT Reception;
Credit Situation May
Come Up
By FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON
Associated Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, April 24.-P-
immigration, prohibition, flood re-
lief and the host of other proposals
pushed before the senate in the
early days of the extra session have
settled behind the administrations
restricted program and face a
doubtful future.
Senator Helm of Alabama, how
ever, showed the senate yesterday
the plan for a restricted session may
be applicable to legislation but not
to debate. He held the floor two
hours appealing for adoption. of a
resolution condemning the treat
ment accorded him at Brockton,
Massachusetts,. where he made a Ku
KluX Khan speech March Is. but
the farm relief bill got a start and
the resolution was put aside.
Farm relief, which reached the
amendment stage in the house to-
day, has first place on the admins
tration program in the senate. How
long this debate will run is problem
atical. After it ends. the admins
tration bills for the 1880 census and
reapportionment of the house will
be awaiting next attention.
Defeated in their first test. Pres
ident Hoover's supporters in oppo-
sition to the national origins pro-
vision Of the immigration law were
looking ahead today to the conciu-
sion of the farm debate before re-
newing in earnest their battle for
repeal. The senate immigration
committee yesterday voted 4 to 2
to postpone indefinitely the bills for
repeal.
Meanwhile, threats Of debate in
the senate over the credit situation,
/ involving the federal reserve boards
| efforts to curb loans for speculation.
resolutions for Investigations are in
some of the senatorial desks, but
thew have been withheld.
Unlike the house debaters on this
subject who want to investigate the
reserve boards warnings against in
creased brokers' loans. the senate
has some members who want to in
vestigate Wall Street. In the senate
the only expressed complaint. 50 far,
against the reserve board is that it
didn't issue its warning sooner.
Senator King. democrat. Utah,
who has prepared a resolution to
investigate the credit situation is
withholding this mov to see how
things develop. He is one of those
who believe excessive credits have
been made available to SPECTATORS
and the federal reserve board should
have acted sooner.

County Prosecutor Mcfarland ordered a hearing to determine his sanity. If he is found mentally unbalanc- ed, he will be sent to an asylum. Rau surrendered yesterday after his seventy year old father was found dead near the ranch barn.
 James was examined month ago for insanity. and despite the testimony of the doctors that he was insane, he was released on his fathers plea who said that he would take his son to private sanitarium, instead of which he allowed him to work about the ranch. James seemed unperturb- ed about the crime and talked freely. For some time. he said "I had feeling that I wanted to kill father. and could not shake it of. When he was between the barn and the house. sneaked up behind him and struck him on the head with hammer He fell to the ground and I kept on striking him until I was sure he was dead.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY
 IN PHILIPPINES

MANILA, May 24, R)-An inn mensely valuable deposit of gold
 was reported to have been found
 near Angat River, twenty-five
 miles North of Manila. The low est estimate of the value of the discovery fixes it at twenty million dollars and the highest fifty mill ion. The entire known extent of the property was staked out by nineteen Americans, all of whom were connected with an engineer ing concern. The gold was con- tained in a quartz vein which was traced for nine thousand feet and ranging in width from twenty-five to two hundred feet. The discov- cry was made by George Cushing during the construction of tunnel for water for the district. Notic
 ing placer gold in the Angat river, he prospected the region for a quartz ledge. Since the laws pro- vide that only one claim can be staked by one person, Cushing al- 1 lowed eighteen American friends to stake the remainder of the claims. The discovery will not bring any new industry into the Philippines since gold mining had been carried on by the indians for centuries. but only in small way.
