Now Oppose Measure Be-
cause Debenture Plan Is
included.
BY PAUL r.. MALLON.
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Ad-
ninistration forces in the senate
are turning against the farm bill
because it includes the disputed de-
benture provision and they propose
to vote against the measlre when it
comes to a final vote Monday.
On the other hand, the Demo-
Gratis, solid almost to a man, to-
gether with the midwestern de-
benturites whom Senator Simeon D,
FeSS has called do-Republic-
ans" intend to support the bill.
They will be joined by five or six
Republicans who voted against the
debentUre provision, but who do not
wish to jeopardize the legislation.
Passage Likely Anyway
After this complex overturn of
the situation the whip of both fac
tions agreed To-Day that the measure
would undoubtedly be passed with
the debenture plan included. They

thirty five votes against it.
The switch in the lineup and the
appearance of many amendments
led the leaders to abandon plans
for voting upon the measure before
nightfall.
Chairman Charles NcNary of the
senate agriculture committee sue
ceeded in getting an agreement
adopted by which all debate after
3 D. m. Monday will be limited to
ten minutes for each senator. The
agreement will bring a vote late
Monday.
Have Two Motives
The decision of the administration
cohorts turning against the bill,
which they sponsored until the de-
benture plan was adopted, was said
to have been inspired by two mo-
tives.
First they want to show their
loyalty to President Herbert Hoover
who has strongly opposed the de-
benture plan. Secondly, they want
to show the house that the senate IS
not by any means unanimously IN
favor of the bill.
BY this opposition, they expect to
encourage the plan to eliminate the
debenture plan when it is conslo-
cred by committees of the two
houses.
Debate on the tariff bill con-
tinued today in the house, with
little of general interest developing.
The fireworks" were being held
back until after the Republican
caucus later in the day.

A Deserved CastigatiOn

Senator Caraway, chairman of the senate lobby
committee yesterday lashed William Burgess after
reporting to the senate his lobbying activities
Burgess deserved everything that he got
Burgess has been employed by the United States
Pottery Association for than twenty years and
has been present in Washington during consideration
of every tariff bill during that period Only for four
years while he was the tariff commission by ap-
pointment of President Harding has this employment
Iapsed He now is getting $500 a year. and has been
in Washington ever since congress started framing
this tariff bill.
It was Burgess who tried to have fired" Frederick
Koch pottery expert of the tariff commission. Koch
instead of supplying tariff information only to SEN
ators working for pottery duties had supplied it to
both sides alike
Senator Caraway called Burgess action almost
contempt of the senate" Burgess guilty of an
attempt by secret pressure and by threats to ruin the
morale of government employees and to get special
favors.
Coupled with these activities his bland insist
ence that he was not lobbyist and that his high
tariff activities a representative of pottery
firm in which he has $4,000 worth of stock and not
on behalf of the pottery association which pays him
$500 a year.

The Game Warden Enters

Those who have deplored irresponsible prohibi-
ton killings will derive some satisfaction from the
conviction of jeff Harris in Oklahoma for killing
Oscar Lowery and James Harris while acting as an
unofficial dry raider on July last.
Whatever ones view about the desirabty of en-
forcing sobrety by legislative fat it is difficult to
see how abstinence from alcoholic indulgence can be
regarded as a matter of life and death.
Many indeed all, great nations have maintained
their integrity in the face Of the nroads Of the rum
habit. No nation well expect to go on happily
if it allows murder to become lesser offense than
certain matters of taste and opinion like possessing
bottle of beer.
If it be alleged that this also involves formal
confidence, it might seem that self-respect
breaking not justify major violence at the hands
of public official.
1t has been suggested that American prohibition,
less than the world at large, needs disarmament
most of all Mr. Youngquist the new assistant attor
ney general in charge of prohibition enforcement,

"Wall Street Booze Party"

It may be that the grand jury investigation of the
so-caled Wall Street booze party" at hotel in
Washington may result in sending somebody to jail.
However We are inclined to doubt it.
This the party attended by Senator Brook
hart of Iowa. which he discussed recently in speeches
from the floor. He also testified before the grand
jury invitation of the prosecutor According to
Brookhart liquor provided in silver TASKS and
was drunk at the dinner. He saw f1nancier seated
next to him pour something from flask. Other sem
ators there
Among the grand jurys difficulties will be getting
information from others who attended. E. E. Loomis,
president of the Lehigh Valley Railroad for example,
declined to discuss before the grand jury what had
happened when he guest at private dinner"
But at least a few facts again are emphasized by
the inquiry, whatever it may accomplish in the way
Of justice If Brookhart is correct, it would seem
that disrespect for prohibition exists among officials
and influential and wealthy men, just as it does
among the rest of the population.

Hoover On Peace

Only one short year, and yet how great is the
distance separating the Armistce day address of
President Coolidge and that of President Hoover
Monday. Coclidges attitude provocative, self
righteous an appeal to selfish interests. Hoovers at
titude is constructive and pacific He the inter-
ests OF the United States bound up with the peace
and wen-being of the rest of the world.
Such a contrast between those two conflicting
Arnistce day speeches is not entirely fair, however
to Coolidge He was faced with tory government
in Great Britain which had destroyed one American
arms conference at Geneva and was blocking further
naval limitation negotiations Coolidges beIngerent
tone vas that of an impatient man. but Of who
had some cause for impatience.
Hoover is much freer to take calm and construc-
tive poston-freer partly because of his own efforts
at improving foreign relations and partly because of
the existence of labor government in London. With
all due credit to Hoover it is not difficult to be reason
able and patient in dealing with Prime Minister
Macdonald.
In this connection the Presidents address raised
one question in which the people interested pro-
foundy. Speaking of the coming London naval con-
ference. he said: 81 in hopes that there will be
serious reduction in navies relief to the eco
nomic burdens of all the peoples"
