PARKER FOES SURE
OF HIS REJECTION
Friends, However, Refuse to
Concede Defeat of Court
Nominee.

The rejection Of Judge John J. Par.
ker Of North Carolina as . member OF
the Supreme Court was predicted conf
IDENTIFY yesterday by the Senate oppo-
sition as leaders in the contest checked
over their forces after O week Of de-
bate. but his friends refused to concede
defeat.
The Senate will resume the debate
tomorrow. with vote likely on Tues
day. The administration Senators will
pick up the fight at the opening Of de-
bate Monday. The Parker opposition,
led by Senator Borah, Republican,
Idaho, believed after q careful survey
OF the lineup yesterday that 81 votes,
including pairs, were against the norni-
nee.
However, Senator Overman, Demo-
crat, North Carolina, who is leading
the contest for Parker, replied that the
outlook yesterday was more encourage
ing" He believed one vote might de-
eide the issue. He also took into &C
count that tie vote was possible and
he expressed confidence that In such an

Furiously Contested.
The Senate battle has been one Of the
most furiously contested affairs of this
session and even yesterday after a week
OF debate in which q dozen doubtful
Senators have held the balance of
power no one was sure enough of his
ground to speak for publication on q
definite prediction.
All day leaders were busy in con-
ferences sizing up the situation. At
least four members were considered still
In the doubtful class last night and
upon those friends of the nominee
based their hope of gaining q majority
Of the 90 votes by Tuesday.
the opposition expressed alarm over
the erect OF President Hoovers efforts
IN behalf Of Parker. Several Republic
cans on the doubtful list were called
to the White House last week.
The combined opposition Of organized
labor and Of colored organizations has
split the ranks Of the Republicans and
left the Democrats holding the votes
upon which the decision will hinge.
Senator Watson Of Indiana, the Repub-
ltcan leader, has been devoting most
OF his time to efforts to reunite the ad-
ministration forces.
Result Seen Doubtful.
1.-THE result is still very doubtful with
the odds against u.s." Watson said, I'VE
will carry on"
Meanwhile, there was discussion Of Q
move to recommit the nomination to
the judiciary committee. However, word
reached the Capitol that President
Hoover would not consider withdrawing
the nomination under any circun-
stances and 1t was believed this would
hinder such o drive.
Senator Overman said he would op-
pose a motion to recommit. Senator
Borah likewise expressed his opposition
Of 1t. Foes Of Parker took into con-
sideration that this might open the way
to a recess appointment Of the nominee.
&rfA L. ~F
In this an opportunity to defer the
Parker vote in the Senate until next
session after the election. But no one
who would make the move to recommit
had appeared last night and It looked
unlikely.

BRITAIN ST|FFENS
ATTITUDE IN INDIA
Despite Superficial Quiet, OBJ
serve Undersurface Events
Taking Place.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, May 3-Observers Of the
Indian situation tonight could not es-
cape the impression of q decided
stiffening Of the governments attitude.
Whatever the ominous portent of a
superficial quiet which for most Of the
week pervaded Peshawar. one fact stood
out clearly. The British government is
fully alive to all events in India and
is ready to use arms against any ag-
erosion upon its northwest frontier.
1t has not escaped the governments
observers that beneath q seemingly
tranquil surface events have been
boiling.
Propagandists Active.
Clashes in Peshawar and surround
ing districts have been frequent. Work.
ers' Congress propagandists have been
particularly active in the villages where
misrepresentation regarding the "Sarda
act" against child marriage has played
q prominent part in attempts to arouse
excitement although 1t has been pointed
out that the Congress party were
stanch supporters Of the measure In
the Assembly.
1t Is understood that propaganda has
been carried on across the frontier,
though thus far little response has been
evident. The government recognizes,
however, that the wild tribesmen Of
the region are ready to turn any diffi-
Guilty Of the British Raj to their own
advantage.
Experienced observers today, there
fore, made it unmistakable that the
government could quickly be induced
to show its position as to armed force
In the event Of necessity.
Day Is Celebrated.
Today was celebrated throughout
North India as "Peshawar martyrs day."
and the government expressed satisfac-
ton that 1t passed without disorders
Of major nature.
Only at Calcutta were the police
called into action, charging into a
procession escorting v. j. Patel, former
president of the legislative assembly.
Patel arrived in Hoorah, suburb. Sew
eral persons were reported TO have
been injured.
There were further disturbances In
the evening when crowd gathered
In the hope Of hearing Patel speak. One
up-country man was seriously injured
and several others suffered lesser hurts.
Patel did not make an appearance.
Will Stop Meetings.
An extraordinary gazette, issued to-
day at Simla, gave notice that the ap-
plication of the act for prevention of
seditious meetings would be applied to
the Peshawar district and the whole
northwestern frontier.
The Statesman and the Bengalee
today were the only two newspapers
which had not suspended publication
in protest against the governments
press ordinance. The Indian Chamber
OF Commerce telegraphed the vceroy
protesting against the decree.

Washington was called the Defender
OF the Mothers and the Protector Of the
Daughters of his own day and has left
a heritage Of chivalrous conduct in his
relations with the women Of his inme-
date family and the circle radiating
from his own fireside, that has inspired
the homage of all ages of every gen.
Grafton since his time.
Never before has there been a more
distinct and convincing illustration of
the effect of home life on the character
of a child and youth than that which
surrounded George Washington as he
grew into early manhood. The soul
Of the home became conscious factor
In his every day life and developed
Che strength of character, courage and
upright living that made him shining
example of righteous manhood, not
alone to the people Of that day, but to
those of all generations.

Marsh, Theatre
Sponsor Revue

Through the efforts of w. L.
Marsh and the courtesy of the Lib
erty theatre, a spring style show
will be presented Friday and Sat-
urday night, April IL and IL, at
the theatre. The newest and latest
creations in mems and women's
styles will be exhibited, the models
coming from the w. L. Marsh
store. A feature talkie, s'Lady
Lies" will be part of the program.
Hints on the spring mode have
been suggested by Marsh, who de-
clares that diagonal weaves and
monotone tweeds win in street
coats, while dressy coats, untrim-
med, with high waist line and mar
row belts find favor. Georgette
and chiffons in prints and pastel
shades with cocktail, bolero and
cape models put the one piece
dress in first place. Hats are
mainly of fancy pedaline, bakou
and spider braids, running to the
larger shapes, with shallow crowns
and outward curves at the nape of
the neck.

RichIand Bank Closes
Doors Monday; Books
Examined by Officials
Directors Give No
Reasons for Action;
No Charges Yet Made
Against Heads

The Richland bank closed its
doors Monday morning upon the
order Of the board of directors,
who refused to give any reason for
stopping operations. It is under
stood that the general business de-
preston which caused the banks
assets to become 'tfrozen" was the
reason for the action of the di-
rectors.
The closing of the bank came as
surprise both to residents of
Richland and to those interested
in the banking business locally.
The institution had served the COM
munity for more than twenty
years and had deposits Of a lit
tie better than SIT, 900. The assets
of the bank are listed at over $780,
600.
H. C. Stringer and w. L. Moody,
state bank officials, are in Rich
land now making a check Of the
books of the concern, following the
meeting of the directors Sunday.
They have refused to state wheth-
er or not a shortage, if any, has
been discovered and no arrests
have been made.
A. L. Nelson, who has been the
cashier of the Richland bank for
several years past, is taking the
closing of the bank hard and is on
the verge of collapse, it is thot
by his friends. Business men of
Kennewick and the banking inter-
ests have offered every possible
help in keeping the bank at Rich
land alive and it is hoped that the
affairs can be cleared up suffic-
iently to permit the institution to
reopen its doors.

Chest Campaign Makes
Roadway; Solicitors
Report S1346 Today
Ready Response on
Part of Citizens Aids
Drive for Community
= Charity Funds. 49, .

With $1346 in cash and pledges
turned in, and final results on the
lists of 80 solicitors yet to be re-
ported, the Community Chest cam
paign is making satisfactory head
way, says Charles L. Powell, chair
man. The drive will continue until
all the people on the list of every
solicitor have been called on. -.-.
Half of the 2100 budget had been
pledged or paid by 6 o'clock Wed
nesday evening. Solicitors report a
ready response to their requests
wherever they go, and the commit
tee is highly pleased with the way
Kennewick is supporting the chest.
The organizations who will re-
ceive donations from the chest are
the playfield, milk fund, Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, Campfire girls,
older boys conference, Red Cross,
Washington Children's Home, and
Salvation Army. The Anti-Tuber-
culosis league has asked not to be
put on the chest list, since they
would rather sell their seals, but
the committee is still negotiating
with the league to secure its ac-
ceptance of the chest and aband-
onment of the seal sale here.
Some of the people approached
have voiced objections to the
amount allocated to the playfield,
declaring that it is disappropriat-
ed. Powell explains that the XII
wants club, which has heretofore
borne the expense of the playfield,
is donating over half of the sum
which will go to the playfield, and
the portion to come from the chest
is the same as that budgeted for
the Boy Scouts.
The community chest is for the
benefit of the whole community.
If, later, solicitors from charitable
organizations call on you, refer
them to the chest committee, and
give to no solicitor who does not
have the endorsement of the chest.
1t is only in this way that the
chest can accomplish its full pur-
pose, the committee declared.

For the first time in the his
