LAWYER ASSERTS
 WOMAN INVOLVED
Crater'S Whereabouts Known,
 Letters Declare

New York, Sept. IS Pl-The New York World says it has been in- formed by Dr, Samuel Buchler, a lawyer, that theNday before suprems Court Justice Joseph F. Crater dis appeared a woman asked him to start suit against the justice for s100,oo0 for breach of promise
 The woman, who called herself Lorraine Fay, said she had letters from the justice, but failed to re- turn the next day as she had promised.
 Said Location Known
 The information from Buchler came after his attention had been called by the newspaper to a letter it had received from a woman in which he was mentioned in con- nection with the suit. The writer said she, Mrs. Crater and others knew the justices whereabouts and that he had gone west to escape his difficulties.
 The day before Justice Crater dis appeared he withdrew $500 from the bank. The writer says he had to take this money out of the bank to satisfy the whims of 'scanty' who threatened scandals" She says she understands the threatened suit was disposed of by payment of $5,000.
 The letter was postmarked Chi cago. In addition to Mrs. Crater it mentions United States Senator Rob- ert F. Wagner and Taylor Phillips as among those who could throw some light on the affair. Senator Wagner who was Crater's former law associate, has previously denied knowing anything about his disap- pearance. Taylor, former partner Of Wagner's denied to The World that he knew where Crater was.
 Sought In Nova Scotia
 Meanwhile, the police search for the missing justice who disappeared on August 6, was extended to Nova Scotia where a friend quoted the justice as saying he had a cabin fin a little out of the way place which cannot be reached by telephone"

 T don't sec" said Ray W. Thomp- son, where there is any need fol a celebration just because Andre unfortunately was captured in Tar rytown. He was gallant gentle, man. l wouldn't attend any celebra- ton commemorating that event Everyone always has been sorry fo; him"
 MT. Thompsons views were en- dorsed by William F. Horan, village attorney, who said: NO one is cele- brating the capture of Nathan Hale who was guilty of the same thing I can see no reason for celebrating that tragic affair."
 Raymond Jackson, village treas urer, asserted he never knew any one who wasn't sorry for Majol Andre. Every school child" h, said, feels that way"

HOOVER WILL ASK.
DAVIS TO REMAIN
Labor Secretary Understood
to Have Contemplated Re-
signing March a.

It is understood from good authority
that James j. Davis will be asked by
President Hoover to remain in his cab
met as Secretary of Labor, which post
he has held for nearly nine years under
three Presidents but which he Is UNDER
stood to have been contemplating re-
signing on March 4.
While no definite announcement has
been made at the White House to this
effect, there are indications that this
speculation of Mr.. Davis remaining In
the cabinet is very logical. The i'm
preston is that Mr.. Hoover has not yet
definitely asked the head of the Labor
Department to remain In his official
family, but will do so very shortly.
Secretary Davis is known to have ac-
cepted appointment to Mr.. Hoover's cab
met with the understanding that he
would like to retire from that office at
the end of a year, which would lie
March 4 next. In the past several
weeks Mr.. Davis has indicated that he
would retire on March to become an
active candidate for either governor or
Senator in Pennsylvania. Recently this
is known to have resulted in friction
among factions Of organized labor as 10
the selection of q labor man to succeed
Mr.. Davis. This development is UNDER
stood to have Influenced the President
in wanting Mr.. Davis to remain beyond
the time agreed between them.

President Hoover's request for a spe-
cial Joint committee of Congress to
handle the prohibition question was
withdrawn after Chairman Smell of the
House rules committee had said the
Republican leadership Of that branch
OF Congress thought the regular COM

not interested in the question or pro-

GAG IN MINNESOTA
Col. Mccormick to Lead
Legal Battle Before U. S.
Supreme Court.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 11.-Freedom Of
speech and freedom Of the press, for
which Socrates fought "a centuries ago
and Milton 3 centuries ago, will be de-
Tended before the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
The newspaper publishers of America,
under the leadership Of Col. Robert r.
Mccormick, publisher of the Chicago
Tribune, will ask the Supreme Court to
nullify the Minnesota newspaper gag"
law, under which the Saturday Press Of
Minneapolis was silenced in 1927 by
court injunction. The injunction has
recently been held valid by the Mime
sofa Supreme Court.
Head Of Committee.
Col. Mccormick Is leading the fight
as head of a committee of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
On Col. McCormick's side is aligned
the power and tradition of the Amer
lean press, the weight of Millions fight
in "Areopagitica," his defense Of free
dom Of utterance in the seventeenth
century, the dignity of Socrates famous
speech to the jury in Athens before 1t

is contained in the first article of the
Bill of Rights Of the American Consti-
tuition.
On the other side Is an act Of the
Legislature of Minnesota, four decisions

and the idea of q legislator who, nve

was suspended under the law, was pub

Floyd Olson, county attorney, whom
the paper included In its attack, went
before county judge in 1927 and OBJ
tanned writ of injunction under what
opponents described as the gag" stat
ute, silencing the paper. The writ was
later upheld by the District Court and
recently by the Minnesota Supreme
Court. The Saturday Press, which sus-
pended publication Immediately after
the first injunction, has not been pub
lished since.
The gag" law was introduced by q
legislator from the iron range country
in Northern Minnesota in 1925 to si-
lence an editor In his constituency who
had attacked him, but the editor died
before action could be taken. County
Attorney Olson found IL ready made
I'VE have no wish to foster libelous
publications" said Col. Mccormick.
THE general libel laws can be invoked

Our fight Is against allowing the truth
to be suppressed and newspapers ruled
out Of existence by single judge with
out jury trial"
The Minnesota law is said to be
unique in the United States.

SUGAR ROW KEEPS
SENATE IN SESSION
Usual Saturday Holiday Is
Abandoned in Effort to
Reach Early Vote.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. >
The Senate today abandoned its usual
Saturday holiday to devote itself to a
settlement of the highly controversial
question of how great a tariff rate is
to be imposed upon sugar imported
from Cuba
This issue has involved the Senate
in one of the most heated disputes to
arise from the tariff bill and threatens
To obliterate party lines when 1t comes
to a vote. expected about the middle
Of next week.
Two members of the Western indie
pendent Republican group have ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to an in
pound, Senator La Toilette adding his
objection to that of Borah In vigor-
Gus address.
La Toilette Sees Menace.
He asserted that to raise the levy to
the 22O cents figure proposed by the
Senate finance committee would i'm
pose an unnecessary burden on con-
sumers, benefit American growers but
little and fail to increase American
production. In addition. he declared
that to increase the duty would m
evitably jeopardize the existence OF
friendly political and trade relations
with all of the other nations OF Latin
America"
The Senate's consideration Of this
subject, he said. should not be a1ected
by the activities of tariff loD noss ;,
which he condemned as "pern1clous,
adding that he was ready to support
preventive legislation.
He severely criticized labor conditions
in the beet sugar industry, termlng
them debased and asserting that that
industry might well be ashamed TO
come before us asking for an increase
in the duty levied for its benefit.
Smoot Attacks Bank.
Chairman Smoot Of the finance COM
mittee Is leading q campaign Tor the
adoption of the rate approved by his
group. In a speech, preceding that
Of La Toilette, which came late yeSter-
day, he opposed a higher rate, asserting
that the National City Bank OF New
York had acquired large sugar holdings
in Cuba and would like to see the
domestic sugar industry destroyed so
that larger profits from its foreign IN
vestments might accrue"
Senators Ransdell and Broussard OF
Louisiana, the home OF domestic cane
sugar production. are demanding rate
of 2.4O cents a pound, figure approved
by the House.
Senator Borah is understood to be
developing a sugar bounty proposal
under which domestic producers would
be given Government funds in proper
ton to their own production and I'M
ports from the Philippine Islands. He
takes the position that with sugar from
the Philippines coming in duty free,
an increased tariff would be useless.
