CALLED WEAKEST CONGRESS
Growing Achievement Will Be
President Signing 'crundy
Tariff Measure

washington, Mar. 29.-E}-A con-
certed attack was directed Ut the rec
ord Of the Hoover administration last
night BY three Democratic congress
sional leaders.
Issuing statements or speaking by
radio, they charged the president
with lack Of leadership" asserted the
administration had utterly collapsed
and assailed the legislative record Of
congress since Mr.. Hoover became
president.
Through the Democratic national
committee, statements were issued BY
Senator Caraway Of Arkansas and
Representative Garner Of Texas, the
Democratic leader in the house. while
Representative Byrns Of Tennessee,
delivered an address over the Nation
al Broadcasting chain, In reply to .
recent similarly delivered speech BY
Senator Tess Of Ohio, defending the
administration.
Caraway seized upon q recent mes
sage from the president to the Maine
state Republican convention in which
the chief executive said that the adj
ministration record justified the con-
tinued confidence Of the people and
said 1t made one doubt whether to
smile o. grieve."
sSO.Called Farm Relief
The. senator asserted that II Mr..
Hoover is not aware Of the 'utter col
lapse Of the administration, both leg
tslative and administrative, he is the
only intelligent person who Is not"
The farmers will be In q bad way"
he continued, II everyone Is satisfied
with the legislative achievements OF
this administration which has to it,
credit only the so-called farm relief
and tariff bills. neither Of which
promises the slightest relief to OPP
pressed agriculture"
Garner asserted 'there hasn't been
q CONGRESS in the last SO years that
has not done better" than the pres
ent one, listing a. its accomplish
ments the passage Of farm relief, con-
gressional reapportionment and tax
legislation.
CenterD Attack on Tariff.
Byrns centered his stack upon the
tariff bill.
AT this time" he said. 1T appears
the browning achievement Of the
Hoover administration Will be the
presidents signing Of the 0rundy
tariff. Now we are advised that the
president Is quite prepared to accept
the 0rundy tariff. In face Of the reve-
lation before the Seate lobby COMMITTEES
Of the processes BY which the favored
industries obtained the rates they
wanted"
In addition, he attacked the admin
istration's treatment Of the prohibi-
ton issue. The law enforcement COM
mission Is q "~caricature Of Mr..
Hoover's genuine faith In scientific
INJURY" he said. adding that the
president had not been true to HIM

controversy.

Buffalo. N. r. Mar. 29.-ReThe
strange talk Of the white mans court
was stilled today and the Indians
trailed back to their cattaraugus res
ervatton to muse over . law demand
ing the lives Of two Of their women
for murder.
Lila Emerson. "The Red Lilac" and
Nancy Bowen, who has seen 66 har-
vest moons redden ripened corn, did
not 60 with them.
! They remained to again come be-
fore the Judge and jury next week to
hear once more the charges and de.
malls that Lila, loving Q white artist,
induced old Nancy to STAY his wife by
telling the wtthered old cayuga the
white woman was q witch.
Nancy has not denied she believed
the wife Of Henri Marchand q witch.
The defense counsel has not sought to
prove otherwise and the prosecution
has placed Nancy on the stand to tell
Of the murder Of "Clotilda Brown, the
white witch Of Buffalo," who cast q
spell over her husband. Sassafras
Charlie and thereby killed him. Nancy
thought.
He Bothered Lila
Ann Snow, who since the death Of
Lila's mother II years ago has been
both aunt and mother to the tuber-
cular woman, does not like Marchand,
the artist who used Lila for q model
In making Indian museum groups.
She doesn't like. him, she told the
court yesterday. because be bother
ed" Lila and kept teasing her to
places" She also heard him say
something once before his wife was
killed, she said.
She had heard Marchand say dur
Ing q visit to the Emerson home. SO
she told her Indian interpreter and
he told the court. that the artist
mentioned something about that he
didn't care II his wife didn't live"
District Attorney Guy b. Moore want
ed to know why she had not told him
this when he asked her II Marchand
had ever said anything about his wife,
and Ann explained patiently to the
interpreter that she had only heard
Marchand say It to someone else:
that 'he did not say It to me-"
The defense today was weighing
the advisability Of placing Lila on the
stand.
Marchand Denies Ann
Marchand was resting In the county
jail today following his court ordeal.
He branded Is false the statement
on the witness stand Of Ann Snow
that she had heard him remark he

ever have in your life before" he
said.
Yet I hadn't danced a step since
the day Of the wedding she told
him.
His eyes were puzzled vaguely.
That's a funny way to refer to
1t. The wedding. You modern girls
are over my head; you're so imper-
soaal. Any one listening wouldn't
know it was your wedding you were

Now the puzzlement in his eyes
gave way to alarm.

mother died. leaving you to take
her place. that I wouldn't let any,

about you" He colored as remem-
brance of the implication of that
conversation came back to him.
But Eleanor didn't know you-you
didn't know her"
after the performance, at the
supper club, we met each other"
IN those moments when she had
i anticipated complete confession,
she had imagined that whoever
listened to her would interrupt,
would accuse and denounce her,
but Tom SAWYER did none Of these
things.
He listened in absolute silence as
she told him all that had happened
since Eleanor had come to see her
at her apartment and proposed the
amazing exchange of Identities. And
his first remark when she finished
was totally unexpected.
Poor Dean" he said.
He smiled rather Wanly at the
expression Of surprise on her face.
ITO be married to one woman
and to love another is rather tough,
don't you think?"
She blushed at the question. In
telling him her story she had Sklrted
the edges of these moments of
passion which had so frightened
her. But old Tom SAWYER guessed
at more than she would have ex-
pected.
Don't think I'm not concerned
about Eleanor. But Eleanor can
take care of herself, while Dean

that you two were in love with each

CYNTHIA noticed that he said not
one word in condemnation Of Flea

because he had underestimate the
quality of her love for Phil Jen-
nings and had separated the two

what difference does that make? II
Eleanor wanted him, 1 should have

Suppose that he'd been all kinds
of a rascal, still, if he could have
given her happiness, even for little
while, that would have been more
than I gave her! My own conceit
and selfiShness!
Il didn't want my daughter to
marry an unknown painter. l want

He had done little weeping over
split milk in his business career,
and now that something far more
disastrous than any financial ca
tastrophe had come to him, he did
not spend much time in self-pity.
I'VE won't minimize what she's

such that an electric light bulb placed behind

the shadowgraphs on the screen, where the
spectators can enjoy them.
William Dexter, as eficient generalissimo of
his one-man electric theater presents a sort
OF monologue as the show proceeds, introduce
ing the actors, telling about their peculiarities
and generally tiding the entertainment over
the short periods where scenery is shifted and
