I'VE refused to give them the keys

Otis Gibson barred the door and we

keys to the inner door.
I'VE started yelling, and my husband
shouted to Otis Gibson to let US out
We didn't know then that Mr.. Gerald
the town marshal, had killed Otis Glib

that were locked in with us began talk

barred the door after Otis Gibson had

DOUBT NEW VOTE
ON POWER GROUP
Senate May Be Unable to Re-
consider Nominations of
Commissioners.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Considerable doubt was expressed
yesterday by administration leaders
over the power of the Senate to recon
slider the nominations of Chairman
George Otis Smith, Claude Draper and
Marcel Garsaud Of the Power Commits
sion.
A move toward reconsideration was
discussed by Senate members after the
commissioners dismissed Charles A.
Russell, solicitor, and William v. King,
chief accountant. Parliamentarians
who have been studying the law said
privately, however, that taking the
oath ended the Senate's power to recall.
Favored HousecIeaning.
Senate administration leaders are
taking no part in the controversy.
However, there is a conviction among
this group that President Hoover ia
vored a house cleaning at the COM
mission.
The commissioners have told Senate
leaders they acted upon their own re-
sponsihility and had no suggestion
whatever from Mr.. Hoover or Secre-
tary Wilbur.
It was pointed out by the commits
sioners that the law creating the new
commission automatically dismissed all
Of the employees. Those who framed
the law, including Chairman Couzens
of the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee, are inclined to this opinion.
MeNinch Sworn In.
Two other commission members,
Frank r. McNinch and Ralph B. VIII
Hanson, did not participate In the dis
miSsal Of King, Russell and Frank z.
Bonner, commission secretary. Nc
Nineh took the oath yesterday, and
Williamson has not yet been sworn in.
King and Russell had been partici-
pants in internal rows in the old COM
mission, both charging Bonner with
favoring the power interests.

BONUS RACKETEER
CHARGES DENIED
Representative Patman De-
tends Spending Of Dimes
by Petition Signers.

Charges by Chairman johnson Of the
House Veterans Committee that Q
lobbying racket" was being worked by
agitatOrs for cash payments Of veterans
compensation certificates brought q
statement last night from Representa-
tive Patman Of Texas. author of legis-
latton for payment OF the bonus. that
he would hardly consider the pooling
OF dimes In support OF n cause which
would bring immediate prosperity TO the
Nation when people are starving in the
streets Of Washington as 'racketeer-
ing"
Representative johnson chatged that
the organization which presented the
petitions to members of Congress got
the names by exacting q tribute Of 10
cents apiece from the signers.
Representative Patman said he had
received several thousand petitions from
the Veterans Of Foreign Wars, the Dis
ahled American Veterans and many
posts and departments of the American
Legion as well as individuals. He said
the petitions from the organizations re-
ferred TO by Representative johnson did
not represent one-tenth Of per cent
Of the sentiment.
Entitled 70 Views.
'The citizens Of the United States are
entitled 70 present their views" he de-
clHred. THE gag rule should not apply
to them. On the day that Congress adj
Journed for the holidays witnessed
the chairman Of the House Banking and
Currency Committee being refused the
right to speak or place in the record his
personal views unless they be read first
by Republican leaders, but I did not
know that would be extended so soon to
the right Of petition"
He said he had no knowledge of the
working Of the organization which pre-
sented most Of the petitions to him, but
that the petitions were brought In by
the secretary, who had credentials as
representative Of the association, with
headquarters in Washington.
Representative johnson charged that
the association advertised employment
In the newspapers, and offered each
person responding the opportunity to
cooperate in its scheme.
Pay SIS for $50 Petitions.
Applicants accepting pay SIS for $50
petitions, or so cents each, with the un-
derstanding that they circulate the petit
tons, charging 10 cents for every sigma
ture secured for the so blank spaces"
he said THE SIS realized on each petit
ton Is pocketed by the circulators or
divided with subordinateS they in turn
may employ under any financial ar
rangement they can make
There are legitimate citizens who
honestly believe that the adjusted COM
pensation certificates should be paid In
full" johnson added. "Of course, they
have the right to express their convic-
tons TO committees and individual
members Of Congress: that Is a right Of
citizenship. My objection Is to the
registering"

All other differences have been ad-
justed. A majority Of the conferees
have agreed to Government operation
of the power plants and private opera

facture of fertilizer
Senate advocates of Government
operation contend, however, they have
won little by getting Government opera
ton Of the power plant, II the trans

capital. The greatest profits Of the
power industry, they argue. are in the
