CHICAGO, June 3.-An attempt was
made early today upon tee life of Mrs.
Lottie Bremen Dechow, the wealthy
and elderly woman who has brought
perjury charges against her young hus-

1923 Sheridan roaS. The assassin
climbed to the roof Of garage AUDITING
the house, placed a gun against the
bedroom window and fired twice.
Mrs. Dechow, SIS years old, and pos
SCISSOR Of a fortune left her by the late
Alderman Nate Bremen, had arisen five

sister, Mrs. May Gross, whose husband

.BLANTON IS SEATED;
REPLIES TO CLANCY
Charge of Reflection on House
Is Referred to Com
mittee.
trrom yesterday $50 Edition of The star)

(From yesterday $50 Edition of The star)
The House today by a viva voce vote
seated Thomas L. Blanton, Democrat,
of Texas, over the objection Of Repre-
sentative Clancy, Republican, OF Mich
igan, that the certificate Of election was
not in proper form.
= BY q vote Of 148 to 1873, the House
referred Representative Clancys COM
plant that In his campaign Repre-
sentative Blanton, both in speeches on
the stump" and in campaign adver-
Using, had reflected on the honor and
integrity of the House, to elections com
mittee No. /.
Representative Clancy spoke for is
minutes on q question OF personal
privilege and on motion of Minority
Leader Garner, the House granted Blan-
ton time to reply. Mr.. Blanton denied
the charge made by Mr.. Clancy that
he was not a friend to the American
Legion. He said that during his CAM
paign when he spoke OF stealing from
the Treasury he did not mean that ~
was done by members Of Congress, but
by outside interests. He assured his
colleagues that at the proper time hA
would reply at length and In detail 70
Representative Clancy.
Representative Schafer, Republican,
of wisconsin, said that while he did
not generally agree with Mr.. Blanton
on the question of prohibition and 9TH
er matters, he did give credit to Blan-
ton for cleaning out the monopoly on
guardianship for insane World War
veterans at st. Elizabeth's Hospital and
for driving out Of office former Com
missioner Fenning.
Minority Leader Garner first ana
nounced in the House that the certifi-
cate Of election had arrived, and asked
that Mr.. Blanton be sworn in. Repre-
sentative Clancy explained that in this
certificate he was called Congressman
Thomas L. Blanton instead of Repre-
sentative-elect Thomas L. Blanton, as
is customary and usual.
Speaker Longworth declined to accept
the responsibility of refusing to accept
a certificate of this kind, and said that
according to the Constitution, the House
is to be the judge Of its membership,
and so he referred the question Of
whether Blanton should be seated to
the House itself, and on q viva voce
vote the ayes had it.

PACT FOES BEATEN
. BY COMMONS VOTE
Conservative Move to Delay
Approval of Naval Treaty
Is Defeated.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June S.-The London naval
treaty today seemed well on its way
toward final British approval. A Con-
sentative motion which, If passed, at
least would have delayed approval, was
beaten last night in the House of Com
mons by vote of 282 to 201.
The Liberals voted with the govern
ment. The motion was presented by
Stanley Baldwin, former Conservative
prime minister, who asked that the
treaty be subjected to rigid inquiry by
an especially appointed board of II
House members.
In presenting his motion Mr.. Baldwin
disclaimed any anti-American feeling,
but declared that he had been made
nervous as to Britain's safety by GER
tain provisions of the treaty, and felt
that it should be subjected to the same
kind of inquiry it was receiving in the
United States.
In answering him Ramsay Macdonald,
prime minister, said that the fact the
Orchards" In each of the three coun-
tries signatory to the treaty were fight
ing 1t was indication to him that the
safety Of each of the countries was well
provided for. He pointed out such an
inquiry as was taking place in the
United States was customary in the
treatment of treaties by that body,
whereas British procedure was differ
ent.
Winston Churchill, who has repeat
eddy attacked the instrument, took the
brunt of the attack in last nights
debate. ut Is not treaty of parity"
he declared; ait is a treaty of inferi-
GRITTY" He added that never since the
reign of Charles II had the country been
so defenseless, and never in the reign
Of Charles II was it so vulnerable"

gave him as an escort an Afghan lieu
tenant who acted as guide and body
guard and an "explainer" during his
unorthodox trip across their country.
This explainer was much needed at
the Indian frontier where Vivian even
tually arrived after several rather tense
incidents with local bandits-all Of

of.
Because he was the color of an
Afghan himself as result of his long
exposure, Vivian at first had a hard
time explaining to the British officers
on the frontier who he was and why he
should be demanding admittance into
India. But once his identity was es-
tablished, the British waived a ruling
forbidding motor cycles to enter India
without a government permit and also
gave him an Indian soldier as an escort
through the troubulous districts to
Peshawar.
