Two years later he began an appren-
ticeship to learn the trades of tim
smith, coppersmith, plumber and gas
fitter and entered business for himself

BY the Associated Press.
HAMILTON, Ohio, May s.-Ivan

tentiary officials as having burned to
death in the Junction City prison brick
plant fire last October Z, was captured
by police on farm near here today. He
confessed that he and two other prison.
ers set fire to the prison, causing the
death of IA men.
Official records of the fire stated the
blaze started from an unknown source.
Police received tip through an inSur-
ance company that Pickering's mother
was trying to collect $500 life insurance

ably burned to death, he supposed
but that Whiting and four other pris-
oners escaped with himself through
prison gate. Pickering and Whiting

ROUSE EXONERATED
IN SMOKE SCREEN
KILLING INQUIRY
Grand Jury's Refusal to Indict
Automatically Reinstates
Policeman.
SALARY HELD BACK
NOW WILL BE PAID
Rum Chase April "a Resulting in
Death of Herman Fleming
Echoed in Congress.

The grand jury today exonerated Po-
liceman Clyde o. Rouse Of the eleventh
precinct, who April "a shot and killed
Herman Fleming, 800 N street south
west, during a spectacular chase
through dense smoke screen of sus-
pected rum-laden car.
A coroner's jury which conducted an
inquest into the death of Fleming held
the policeman, but when the testimony
was laid before the grand jury it re-
fused an indictment.
The killing of Fleming created a sem
sation in the House, where it was both
lauded and condemned, some members
approving the action of Policeman
Rouse by applauding and others seeking
to have the notice of the applause ex-
plunged from the records. Considerable
public sentiment also was aroused for
and against the officer.
Restored to Duty.
The grand jury's refusal to return
an Indictment against Rouse auto
matically restored him to duty, from
which he was suspended April 25.
Salary which has been withheld during
the period of suspension also will be
given to the officer. Rouse, however,
will have to bear the expense of his
attorneys fee as well as the premium
on the 81 900 bond he posted following
the action of the coroner'S jury in hold,
ing him for the grand jury. The pre-
MUM on the bond, it was said, amounts
to $50.
Fleming was driving an automobile
equipped with a smoke screen and was
being pursued across Anacostia Bridge
by Rouse and Policeman B. r. Camp
bell, also of the eleventh precinct, when
he was shot and killed.
Five shots were fired by Rouse
through the heavy smoke barrage that
was alleged to have been laid down by
the car Fleming was driving. Four Of
them were grouped in a small circle
| on the left rear fender. The fifth
! pierced the canvas top of the machine,
passed through F1eming's head and
dropped spent on the floor of the car.
Companion Arrested.
John Stevens, 81 years old, who also
gave 400 N street southwest as his
address, who was Fleming,s companion
In the car, was arrested and charged
with illegal possession and transporta-
ton or liquor and with use OF smoke
screen. Sixteen cases of liquor was
found In the car. according to police.
The killing of Fleming was the first
to follow the revival of the smoke
screen, which rum runners have used
extensively since the passage of the
drastic Jones Stalker law.
The smoke screen was used success
fully again last night by suspected
rum runner to escape capture Motor
Cycle Policeman Ralph e. Burton of
the eleventh precinct pursued a car
on Benning road northeast, but the
operator pumped out a smoke barrage
and forced him to abandon the chase.
Burton said he started in pursuit of
the car near the Benning power plant
of the Potomac Electric Power Co., and
when the driver observed him he in
creased the speed and laid down the
smoke barrage. The officer did not use
his gun.

SENATE APPROVES
DEBENTURE PLAN
BY VOTE OF 47-44
Coalition of Democrats and
Western Republicans Goes
Against Hoover.
HARD FIGHT NOW SEEN
OVER ISSUE IN HOUSE
Decision Comes in Upper Chamber
After Debate Was Limited
Today.

BY a vote of Al to A, the debenture
plan was today retained in the Senate
farm bill.
BY this narrow margin a coalition of
Democrats and Western Republicans
turned down the recommendation OF
President Hoover, who Is strongly OPP
posed to the debenture plan and who so
announced to the committee on agri-
culture before the bill was reported to
the Senate.
There is every indication of a
hard fight over the debenture issue
with the House. Threats have already
been made by Republican leaders in the
House not to receive the debenture plan
from the Senate on the ground that 1t
has to do with revenue, and under the
Constitution could only originate IN the
House.
The House did not vote directly on
the debenture plan when it had the
farm bill before it. A point of order
against the amendment proposing the
debenture plan was sustained.
Contest i'm Conference.
If the House receives the Senate
amendment for debenture and sends the
bill to conference, there may be a long
contest in the conference stage.
The vote in the Senate on debenture
was regarded as a first real test of
the administration strength in the
Senate
Senator Pat Harrison, Democrat. of
Mississippi, when his attention was
called today to the possibility that the
House might decline to receive the de-
benture plan from the Senate, said:
1T is inconceivable that the House
of Representatives, which thought so
much of the farm relief subject as to
number its farm relief bill No. /, should
reject farm relief plan incorporated
by the Senate, simply because it differs
from the views of the administration
and those who direct legislation in the
House under gag rule.
1.-The President apparently is in for
hard Shedding. The Congress Is respon-
sive to the people and not to him. 1t
looks as though they were going to ig-
more his farm views, and so far as tariff
is concerned, they have thrown his sug-
gestfons to the winds. The action OF
the majority members of the ways and
means committee formulated in their
proposed tariff bill is the worst ever. 1t
adds confusion instead of clarifcation.
adds burdens upon the country instead
of relief"

BRITISH PRO SETS
RECORD BY SO CARD
DiegeI Holds Stride, Scoring
II for Second, as Other U. S.
Golfers Keep Pace.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GULLANE, Scotland, May 8.-While
most of the galleries following the first
round of championship play for the
British open golf title trailed with the
Americans, Percy Alliss, young English
pro from the Wannsee Club, Berlin,
playing with only his partner and their
caddies as spectators, scored a SO to
take the lead for the first round away
from Leo Diegel, who a few minutes
before had returned score of II.
Jim Barnes, who has held both the
British open title and the open cham
pionship of the United States, finished
with a brilliant II, equaling Diegel's
score.
Barnes went over par only on the fif-
teenth, where he took on the par 4
hole. At the seventeenth his brassie was
just short of the green and he Clipped
dead for birdie 1.
After going out In even fours. the
professional champion of the United
States came back one stroke better, re-
turning card without single on
it. He had eight As and 3.

around in sensational style in almost
stroke for stroke.
Allis slipped into the title quest from
the qualifying round with the ties at
162. Although member of the British
Ryder Cup team. he did not play
against the Americans, so his appeal
to the golf enthusiasts was not enough
to draw them to his banner when he
started this morning.
His score of SO broke the Muirfield
course record which was smashed by
Diegel with 10 yesterday in the second
qualifying round.
AIliss Takes Seven Brides.
Several thousand followed Diegel and
jolly. but Alliss, on their heels, played
an even better game. His card showed
seven brides. He took puts on the
fifth, sixth and seventeenth greens. His
brassie to the seventeenth hit the flag
and then he took puts from 18
feet. He found bunker at the home
hole, but got his in spite of 1t.
Diegel's round was featured by his
brilliant second shots. He was on every
green except the seventeenth in 2, and
there chipped from just of the green
and dropped an eight-footer. He took
SO puts and IS were from a foot or
even less. At the short sixteenth he
tried to get a long putt down, over
ran the hole and missed coming back.

REPUBLICANS PLAN
CAUCUS ON TARIFF
Meeting Tomorrow Will De-
termine Procedure for
Bill in House.

BY the Associated Press.
A caucus of Republican House men,
bers today was called for Friday to
determine procedure for consideration
in the House of the new tariff bill pro-
posing upward revision of import duties
on sugar, a wide range of agricultural
products and on host of other COM
modities.
The call was issued by Representative
Tilson of Connecticut ma jority leader,
and about the same time Representa-
tive Garner of Texas, Democratic lead
er, announced that members of the
minority party would meet late today
to discuss their position on the measure.
Garner and other Democrats have
declared opposition to suggestions from
Republican sources that the bill might
be called up under procedure limiting
the offering of amendments. The Texan
holds all members should be given op-
portunity to propose changes.
Members Study Bill.
Meanwhile members we're poring over
the $4,000 words contained In the new
bill, many giving particular attention to
schedules affecting products of their
districts. Among the schedules coming
in for most discussion were those on
sugar, textiles and farm commodities.
While the Democrats have little hope
of making any changes in the bill before
1t is formally reported by the commit
tee, they plan to determine the position
they will take toward any rule sponsored
by Republicans which would restrict
the offering of amendments.
A meeting of the full membership of
the ways and means group will be held
49, ~
the bill, but as the Republicans are In
little chance to make any revisions, in
the measure.
Wonder About Hoover View.
As study and discussion went for
ward at the Capitol, there was conjec-
ture as to how President Hoover would
view the bill in the light of his ex-
pressed desire for a limited" revision
of customs duties with the lesser rates
left for the tariff commission to con-
slider
While Chairman Hawley estimated
that the actual changes in protective
rates would not exceed 20 per cent OF
the total dutiable items, only one
schedule, that dealing with tobacco was
untouched, while an entirely new sched-
ule was created embracing manufac-
lures of artificial silk, officially termed
"rayon" in the bill.
One surprising development was the
action of the committee in reporting
out an entirely new bill as substitute
for the existing Fordney -McCumber
act Unless the Senate finance COM
mittee completely rewrites the House
measure, as it usually does, every COM
modify embraced in both the dutiable
and free lists would be open to debate
and amendment on the Senate floor.
Bill as Amendment.
To avoid such contingency, Presi-
dent Hoover suggested, informally at
least. that no general tariff revision law
be placed before Congress, but that a
bill in the nature of an amendment to
the existing act be reported.
Chairman Hawley and his Republican.
colleagues of the ways and means COM
mittee contend that whole new statute
