Congressional Club HOnOrs Vice
President at Brilliant Reception
Mrs. Dawes Present; Date
Set for Reception in
Honor of the Speaker

The Vice President and
Mrs. Dawes were the guests
of honor at a reception given
last night at the Congress
sional Club. This was the
first of this years series of
big evening parties at the
club; and it was thought for
q time it would be the last.
But after all, there will be a
reception in honor of the
Speaker of the House and
Mrs. Longworth, February
19 having been chosen for
the fete.
Asks For Date
'Princess Alice" asked for
this date after club members
had begun to "tell the world"
that, no definite response hav.
ing been received from the
Longworths to their invitation,
it lokoed as though there would
be but one "state" reception at
the Congressional Club this
year. The President and the
First Lady, for whom the club
seeks to entertain each year,
were not able to give the group
a date this season in the
crowded weeks before March 4.
The Famous Pipe
The reception last night was
one Of those dignified and de-
Iightful parties, for which the
Congressional Club has become
famous. The president, Mrs.
Peter Goelet Gerry. received, in
Producing to Vice President and
Mrs. Dawes, a group of guests
who, being almost entirely from
Congressional ranks, needed no
introduction. Early in the re-
ceiving line, the Vice President
slipped away, with two or three
masculine cronies-and his bulldog
pipe-to enjoy half an hour of
animated conversation before the
open fire in the smoking room,
leaving Mrs. Dawes to do the
honors for the family in the ball
room.
Presentations were made by
Capt. Stuart Miller, U. S. A.. sta
toned at Fort Myer, whose mother
is a member of the Congressional
Club. The members of the execu.
tive board were in the receiving
line with Mrs. Gerry and Vice
President and Mrs. Dawes, Mrs.
Clyde Kelly, Irs. Finis j.. Gar
rett, Mrs. A1ben Berkley, Mrs.
lesley Jones, Mrs. James Is. AS
well, Mrs. James S. Parker, Mrs.
William Wallace Chalmers and
Mrs. Carl Mapes.
Powder Blue
Mrs. Gerry wore a powder blue
velvet gown, a good three inches
/ niger than most of the costumes
she sponsored last season. Grace
full panels on the skirt gave the
effect of al irregular hem line.
The round-necked bodice was un-
trimmed, but there was a narrow
girdle of rhinestones, with a bow
knot ornament at one side. Mrs.

ton Of Roy o.. West of. Chicago TO: be
Secretary of Interior. after. spending
three hours, Yesterday arglifnGSMhether
its deliberations should be, in open or
closed session.
Three votes finally determined that
the usual procedure Of executive meet
ings would be pursued in the considera-
ton of Vests case, although the hear
ings on his nomination conducted by
the Senate lands committee were open
and the testimony has been published.
Senator Deneen, Republican, Illinois,
has arranged to urge Mr.. Vests con-
firmation after Chairman Nye of the
lands committee has presented the mo-
ton of the opposition. This is directed
particularly at past connections the In
terror Secretary had had with the Sam
uel insult power utilities companies.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, leader
of the Republican independents, and
Democrats, are opposing West. who
testified before the committee that he
had done some casual law work for Mr..
insult and had invested about SGT 900
in insult companies. These, he said.
were sold for about $4,000 when he
became Secretary last August.
Senator Glenn, Republican, of Illi-
noiS has laid before the Senate a re-
port of the lands committee. which
voted, 9 to 4, to recommend his con-
firmation. Senator Nye late yesterday
presented the minority report.
The opposition is directing attention
also to the fact that Mr. West sat as a
member of the Federal Power Commits
sion, which is part of the Secretary's
duties, in the hearings on the Cumber-
land Falls. KY, water power case. The
Cumberland Hydro-electric Co, an In
Sull concern. is asking permit to de-
velop water power there.
Before the lands committee and after
this hearing Mr.. West volunteered to
withdraw from participation In any
matters coming before his department
involving the insult interests.
Senators Nye and Norris waged the
fight yesterday for consideration OF the
nomination in open session. After los
ing on the first roll call, a motion was
offered to have the roll call made pub
lie. but this also was defeated, 80 to "a.
A second motion to go into open ses-
sion also lost.
Friends of West urged the executive
session. insisting that 1t was the regular
procedure.

Chief Justice Mccoy in Criminal Di-
vision No. / today sentenced Franklin
Ellsworth Smith, convicted slayer of his
19-year-old daughter, Bessie L. Smith,
to die in the electric chair Saturday,
April q. between the hours of 10 am.
and 2 pm.
Smith, who is so years old, was
formerly employed as bank watchman.
He displayed no emotion when called
to the bar for sentence. When asked by
Clerk Lee Ashwood If he had anything
to say why the sentence of the law
should not be pronounced Smith
answered. Nothing whatever"
AS soon as the death sentence had
been announced Attorney E. Russell
Kelly noted an appeal to the District
Court of Appeals. Smith was prosecuted
by Assistant United States Attorney Will
liam H. Collins.
The tragedy for which Smith was sem
fenced occurred September 26 at his
home, ISL New Jersey avenue, follow
ing a quarrel with the daughter, who
had refused to prepare her fathers
breakfast when he returned that morn
ing from watching at the bank
The verdict of the jury held Smith
guilty of murder in the first degree,
although alienists offered by the de-
fense testified that he was not of sound
mind.

DELAY APPOINTING
ROMAN LAW GROUP
Italians to Continue Nego-
tiationS for Church and
State Agreement.


ROME, January 19-In order to
continue negotiations and complete the
understanding between the Catholic
Church and the Italian state for a
solution of the Roman question no
commission of those yersed in Roman
law is expected to be appointed now.
The clauses of the agreement or un-
derstanding are subjects of mere
political or financial character More
over, it is considered inadvisable to
substitute or add other people to those
who have already worked together with
apparent success.
| After a definite conclusion, when a
| treaty or concordat is drawn us, eX-
! perts in Roman law will certainly be
/ appointed on both sides. They will
meet with the object of co-ordinating
the ecclesiastical laws with the civil
laws of Italy.
Attempts in this direction have
already been made by Premier Mussolini.
About three years ago he appointed a
| commission to reform ecclesiastical
laws. That body was formed of three
prominent prelates, Mgr. Talamo, canon
| Of ST. Peters; Mgr. CAPTAIN, canon of
| st. John Lateran, and Mgr. CiSterna,
canon of ST. Mary Major. The result
of their labors was incorporated in a
bill for submission to the Italian Parlia-
ment, which certainly would have ap-
proved 1t. When, however, the main
lines of the agreement became known
the Pope wrote letter to the cardinal
vicar of Rome which created consider
! able CONSERVATION.
The Popes letter said that he would
not recognize any legal measures, even
If favorable to the church, because they
were one-Sided decisions since the
prelateS included in the commission did
not emanate from the Holy See. He
added that no bilateral decision could
be taken-and the problem must be
studied on a larger basis-so long as
| the situation created for the papacy in
Rome was that which arose from the
fall of temporal power.
! Thereupon Minister of Justice Rocco
| said he would withdraw the bill he
had already prepared "out of respect
for the high opinion of an exalted
parsonage"
Therefore it is only natural that If
complete accord is reached between the
church and state, the discussion which
| formed the object of that commission
! will be resumed by legal experts of both
sides. They would then be able to ex-
anime the situation and bring about the
! desired reforms, examining them on a
Larger basis ~ the Pope desired ~
