The text Of President Hoover's al

sons invention Of the incande5cent
lamp was as follows:
Fellow countrymen and women
This ceremony is a part of the cele-
bration of Mr. Edis2n's invention OF
the electric lamp. Il is also the
dedication Of the Edison Institute OF
Technology, the gift Of Mr, Ford,
Both are in fact national tributes to
Mr.. Edison.
The multiplication of the amount
of light in the world a thouSandfold
is worthy Of celebration, for dark
ness is a forbidden limitation upon
righteous human activities.
When Mr.. Edison invented the
electric lamp he may perhaps have
thought just to produce plain light
and more of it at less cost. I Surm-52
that his widest ambition was to re
lieve the human race from the curse
of always cleaning oil lamps, scrub
bing up candle drips, and everlaSt-
ingly carrying one or the other OF
them about. He may have thought
to add safety to Chicago against a
second accident from an Oil lamp,

MINOR FARM BILLS
ARE GIVEN SETBACK
House Leaders Defer Action
Until After Tariff Meas
ure Is Passed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Haugen Of the House Agri-
culture committee announced today that
consideration of additional farm legis-
lation by the House would be deferred
until after the tariff bill had been
passed
The committee previously had planned
to call up several additional farm bills
today.
The decision was reached after word
had reached House leaders from the
Senate that the passage of additional
legislation by the House would compli-
cate the situation on the other end OF
the Capitol.
Four Hills Favored.
The four bills the House committee
expected to seek action on were meas
ure to change the definition of Oleo-
margarine under the act placing a tax
upon butter substitutes; the Haugen bill
to make various changes in the Federal
warehouse act, the Mapes bill to estab-
lish minimum standards for farm prod
ucts. and the Ketcham bill to provide
for the assignment of Representatives
Of the Department Of Agriculture to the
foreign service.
Having yesterday adopted the Norris
amendment to the export debenture sec
ton of its farm relief BILL the Senate
was in position today to proceed toward
a vote on that disputed provision itself.
The amendment. which changes the
debenture section to provide for reduc-
ton of debenture rates whenever over
production Is forecast in affected crops,
was adopted without a record vote. 1t
had the support of members opposed to
the plan as whole who, as Chairman
McNary of the agriculture committee
put it. see no objection to perfecting a
legislative proposal. even though they
intend to vote against it.
Opposition Developed.
At the same time the amendment
was opposed by some proponents of the
debenture plan, including Senator
Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, who
were not swayed by the argument that
it would gain supporters for their
stand but insisted that it would de-
prive the farmers of the full benefits
proposed.
Holding that his amendment would
tend to discourage overproduction and
thus help to overcome one of the prin-
cipal objections to farm relief legisla-
ton, Senator Norris declared:
Amy legislation to increase the prices
of farm products will tend to increase
production. No one denies that. 1t
is true of every protective tariff ever
adopted. There may be more danger
in this instance, and therefore I think

The flyer told the commission 1t Is
going to be necessary to have strict

to promote safety.
The commission took Col. Lindbergh
and Assistant Secretary of Commerce
MacCracken into executive session after
the hearing, to get advice regarding
technical phases of the layout for the
local airport.
The commission Is still awaiting fur
ther information from Government en-
gineers and weather experts concerning
various sites before reaching any de-
cisions. II Is not definite at this time

session or in December 1t has been in

followed, the site would be selected by

ADVISE GERMANY
TO AGREE: ON DEBT
French Press Warns There
Will Be No Later Farley
to Patch Up Affairs.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 1.-The French press to-
day carried pointed advice Of semi
official nature TO Germany to reach a
reparations settlement agreement with
the creditor nations at the present con-
ference of experts. The papers warned
that there would be no political confer
ence later to patch up affairs il the
committee of experts was forced to re-
port failure.
The Dawes plan, which the German
delegation has insisted is becoming in
supportable. was held forth by the
papers as the only alternative to an
agreement by the committee. The
semi-official Temps was most emphatic
of all and sources close to the govern
ment made it understood that this was
Frances firmly resolved policy.
It was learned elsewhere there is a
disposition to take the same view among
other allied reparations delegations and
that DR.. Schacht would be faced with
strong pressure for an immediate set
Element when he returns to Paris TO-
morrow.
There was belief in some quarters

SLOT MACHINE
PROBE |NvOLvES28
Six Police Captains Reported
Named in True BiIis-Sen-
sations Hinted.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May with six police
captains, several prominent politicians,
and others-28 in all-reported named
in true bills by the Cook County
grand jury, States Attorney John A.
Swanson and his aides today limited at
further sensational disclosures con-
corning a syndicate which is said TO
have netted $4,000 daily through the
operation of slot machines.
The true bills we're expected to be
returned today in the form of con-
spiracy indictment.
Among those reported named by the
grand jury were:
Police Capt. Patrick j. Collins,
brother of the late Michael Collins.
minister Of defense and finance Of the
Irish Free State, who was aSsassinated;
Dennis Malloy, once discharged from
the Police Department, but reinstated;
Richard Gill. Michael Tobin, Hugh Nc
earthly and Michael Delaney.
DR.. William H. Reid. former city
smoke inspector and prominent South
Side politician, whose home was bombed
twice.
Frank j. Beran, custodian of the Po-
lice Department.
Sergt Robert Sullivan.
Edward Spike" O'Donnell. reputed
beer runner, racketeer and gangSter.
Arthur e. Dyer, Republican ward
committeeman.
William Bogenhagen, Republican
ward committeeman, and secretary TO
William Balmer, commissioner of pub
lie service.
The slot machine crusade grew out Of
an investigation into the death of Mrs.
Selma Burnham, wealthy widow Of the
head of the Burnham Vending Machine
Co. The company's records were search
ed for possible clues to her death. They
furnished none, but did give the au-
thorities an inkling Of the vast opera
tions of the slot machine syndicate.
A special squad of detectives was Sc
lected by Swanson to assist him in the
investigation.
Four men arrested early yesterday
furnished information which is said to
have resulted in disclosures involving
the police officials, politicians and 9TH
erS.

probably had conveyed the oficial
French feeling to Gustav Stresemann,
German foreign minister, who, in turn,
had talked the matter over with DIR.
Schacht, while the latter was in
Berlin.
For this reason DR.. Schacht's return
to Paris is looked upon as having I'M
usual significance. He certainly will
bring with him the last word from Ber-
lin and will reach the point where ne
must say either Eyes" or NO IRE
yocably.
Meanwhile the work of preparing the
committees report to the governments
has been forging ahead. Revised parts
Of additional chapters were completed
today and subject to examination at the
afternoon meeting of the drafting SUD-
committee.
The various national delegations met
at their respective headquarters before
noon to continue their study of the
proposed text of the committees re-
ports to the governments.

we should be willing to put a penalty on

we should be willing to put penalty on
overproduction."
The possibility Of other important
amendments being offered was suggest
ed by the announcement of Chairman
McNary that he would discuss such
proposals with group of dairy asso-
citation representatives. The National
Cooperative Milk Producers Fedora
ton, it was recalled, made public Wig
orous protest last week against provi-
sions in the bill that require cooper
alive marketing associations to own,
control and manage" the proposed sta
bilization corporations.
Nevertheless, Senate leaders still hoped
to bring the debenture section to vote
without delay and to pass the bill itself
before the week end adjournment. After
that they expect the task of adjusting
differences between the Senate and
House to occupy several weeks before
measure is ready to be sent to Presi-
dent Hoover.

Officials Insist Reichsbank Meeting
Holds No Special Significance.
BERLIN. May / Cp.-May day at
tracted more attention in Germany to-
day than did the secret session of the
Reichsbank directorate, presided over
by DR.. Hjalmar Schacht.
Beginning yesterday, the directorates
sessions continued into today, with both
government and bank officials insistent
it had no extraordinary significance.
They said its date even had been set
far in advance Of the present repara-
tons crisis at Paris.
Arrival of S. Parker Gilbert, agent
general for reparations, set Berlin
tongues wagging, some protesting to
see more connection between his and
DIR. Schacht's presence here at the same
time. 1t was pointed out that the views
of the agent general necessarily must
have an important bearing on the pres
ent situation.
Firmness on BOurse.
That no untoward development was
feared was shown by firmnesS on the
Bourse and return to tranquility on the
H1OIlSy IudIkct, WA4lCll was lLClc dllcCtcu
by failures of small firms caught in the
recent furry.
There was considerable feeling among
German bankers that sterilization of
the German economic situation and an
eventual reparations agreement to re-
place the Dawes plan is of the greatest
Importance to the United States, since
American investments in Germany
have an estimated total of as high as
SIS, 1000, 10000 The safety and pro-
ductivities of these investments obvi-
ously would depend entirely on German
stability.
Friends of DR.. Schacht said that he,
in conversation with them, seemed re-
signed to failure of the Paris confer
ence, and looked forward to second
and more fruitful conference, either of
experts or of diplomatic nature, at
some date In the future.
