GENOA, Italy, Oct. 2.-Three
American sailors from the Dollar
liner President Van Buren were
held by police today after row

The sailors were returning to the

fused to pay.

HURRICANE ON

Two Georgians Lose Lives

After leaving trail of heavy rain

tropical hurricane passe dinto South

today, apparently heading for the
coast. The disturbance, which has
travelled a long and circuitous route
around Florida, northward through
Pensacola, was expected to diSSipate
when it again reached the coast.
However, there was a possibility
the storm would gain force at the
coast and again do extensive dam

Two deaths resulted in Georgia
from the storm. j. H. Moore was
killed at Albany when bridge COL

L. II. Doubleday died at Blackshear
from burns received when her auto

brought down by high winds.
Georgia was deulged by rain and
some parts were threatened with
dangerous floods. Daytona Beach,
Fla, still felt winds of gale force.
Highways and wire communication
in Florida were being restored to

INQUIRY ON NEXT WEEK
Bids Fair to Equal Teapot
Dome Investigation in
Barring of Facts.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. - A SEN
atorial inquiry into the activities of
lobbyists in Washington, including
the So-called social lobby" will be
undertaken next week by the senate
judiciary committee.
This investigation promises to lay
bare the inside of affairs in Wash
ington to a degree not witnessed
since the famous Teapot Dome
revelations.
Under direction of the Caraway
resolution adopted unanimously in
the senate late Tuesday, Chairman
Norris of the senate judiciary COM
mittee announced he would call a
meeting of his committee as soon
as possible to lay plans for opening
the investigation.
Because of the widespread
charges concerning the maintenance
of tariff lobbies, the committee
probably will go into that matter
first in expectation that the facts
developed may have some bearing
on the rates of the tariff bill now
under consideration in the senate.
Committee members construe the
resolution as calling for full in
quiry, not only into the objection
able lobbies but also the legislative
agencies maintained here by peace
societies, farm organizations, radio
interests, railroads, chambers Of
commerce and those representing
both sides of the prohibition issue.
Lobby organizations will be asked
to produce books and records OF
expenditures on propaganda regard
ing subjects in which they are in
terested and concerning which they
are trying to get action in congress.
How the committee will get into the
social lobby is problematical. 1t is
only a vague unorganized group of
men and women in society who are
supposed to influence votes in con-
gress and promotions in the govern
ment service by social favors or
Snubs.
AS the Shearer investigating COM
nittee, now in recess for q few days
divuIged the wide activities of the
American shipbuilding interests in
Washington as well as at the
Geneva disarmament conference,
members of the senate expressed
the necessity for broader inquiry.

I 2. Possibility of a new petit
ton being filed attacking the
1929 transfer act" as uncon-
stitutional.
Duvall was convicted on an aff1-
davit charging that he promised
William H. Arnitage, then a Re-
publican political power, the privi~
lege of naming the city civil en-
gineer and two members of board
of public works if he was elected
mayor. in return for $4,000 cam
paign contribution by Armitage and
his supporters.
Tell of Promise
Arnitage testified to these facts
in the trial in September, 1927.
Twelve other state witnesses told Of
Duvall's promises Of political pat
ronage.
In his appeal to the supreme
court Dec. 10, 1927, Duvall con-
tended that. Special Judge Shirley
erred in permitting certain testi-
mony Of the twelve witnesses to go
into the record.
The case was transferred to the
appellate court March IA, 1929. Oral
arguments were heard on April 10.
Then on May % the criminal courts
Judgment was upheld and the fine
and sentence confirmed, with one
exception. The appellate court held
that the lower court had gone be-
yond it's province in barring Duvall
from public Office for four years
from Nov 2, 1925. This, the high
court held, was statutory prohibi-
ton automatically imposed on Du-
vail by his conviction.
Having sixty days in which to file
an appeal, DuVall's attorneys filed
the petition for rehearing in the
appellate court July "a. 1t was this
petition which was denied today.
Files Petition for Writ
On Sept. 80, Duvall fled a petit
ton for writ of certiorari in supreme
court. This is the only issue not
closed in the case.
Duvau was 55 last May. He came
to Indianapolis as a young lawyer
in 1902, and soon thereafter organ"
lied the Citizens State bank OF
Haughville. Before his election as
mayor in November, 1925, he was
cashier of the Marion County State
bank and later it's president. He
had been elected county treasurer
in 1922, but was defeated for re-
election. He became mayor Jan. 4,
1926.
His conviction precipitated a
scramble for the mayors chair. Be-
fore L. Ert Slack was elecVed by
the city council to settle the may
orally controversy, Duvalps wife;
Ira Holmes, attorney, and Claude
Negley, council president, claimed
brief periods in the mayors seat.
