SEAT DENIED HILL
AND PALMISANO
House Committee Settles Election
Dispute in Third Mary
= land District.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A decision that neither Vincent L.
PalmiSano, Democrat, nor John Philip
Fill, Republican, was entitled to the
seat In the House from the third Mary
land district was reached late yesterday
by House elections committee.
In taking the unusual course of deny
ing the claims OF both contestants and
thus, in effect, recommending that the
seat be declared vacant the commit
tee came to the conclusion that Hill
was not elected and that PalmiSano was
not entitled to be. seated"
The vote in both cases was to 3.
Representative Perkins, Republican,
New Jersey, acting chairman of the
committee, gained consent of the House
for week in which to submit the re-
port Representative Tarver, Democrat,
Georgia, will file a dissenting minority
report.
THE reason the majority decided
that PalmiSano was not entitled to the
seat" Perkins said, was because of the
fraudulent voting, registration and the,
entire disregard of the election laws in
counting ballots in Palmisano's home
precinct, in the third ward of Balti-
more.
I'VE decided that Hill was not elect
ed" he continued, and that Palmisano
was not entitled to be seated Perkins
added that there was great evidence
of fraud in Palmisano's precinct and
that the majority of the committee
does not believe that Hill was elected"
Three Democrats and two Republi-
cans voted against seating Hill, while
three Republicans voted to seat him,
Perkins explained.
Five Republicans voted against seating
Palmisano and three Democrats voted
to seat him the New Jersey member
said.
Indications are that there will be a
vigorous contest in the House over the
committees decision. However, If the
conclusion is sustained by the House the
seat will be declared vacant and a spe-
cial election will have to be held to
fill it.

CLOSE VOTE SEEN
ON TARIFF BILL
Senate Leaders Specializing
on How Vice President
Curtis Will Ballot.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Leaders in the Senate's tariff fight
counted votes anxiouSly today and
looked forward to a final roll call on
the h-disputed Smoot-Hawley meas
ure within week.
So close does the outcome promise to
oe that some Senators have been spec
ulating on how Vice President Curtis
would vote in case Of a tie. The regu-
lar Republicans claim slight margin,
but the D1mocratic-Independent Re
publican coalition, opposing the bill, is
not ready to admit defeat
Senator Reed Held Doubtful"
Both sides kept an eye today upon
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania. whose vote was elassed IN the
doubtful column. Reed was in Lon
don as a delegate to the Arms Con-
ference while much of the tariff debate
was taking place. He took "a copy of
the conference bill and bulky brief
case full of related documents to his
home for a week end of study.
Although the conference report was
placed before the Senate in two sections,
an agreement has been reached under
which both will be voted upon at a
single roll call.
Sent back to conference for it's fourth
for final submission to the two houses
of Congress. except for one provision
which presented some temporary diff
Guilty. The conferees deferred until
Monday a final meeting at which they
expect to reach an agreement upon this
clause, that affecting the duties on
watch jewels. ssl
Democrats Raise Points of Order.
This section was one of four against
which points Of order were raised from
the Democratic side of the chamber.
The three other clauses to which such
exception was taken--cheese, cherries
and rayon-were patched up by the
conferees yesterday.
Because the section of the conference
report containing these provisions had
already been approved by the House,
that branch of Congress will have to
vote upon it again, before the bill can
be sent to President Hoover Senate
leaders are confident of a vote by next
Friday and expect the House action to
follow shortly afterward

Cannon in his latest statement hurled
0 challenge at the committee with the
assertion that he could not be adj
judged in contempt of the Senate for
refusing to answer the committees
questions and then abruptly walking
out on it, because a quorum was not
present at the time of his appearance.

He thought these questions Illegal and
unfair particularly after Senator Walsh
had said that without a quorum the
committee could not rule on the dry
leaders contention that it had no au-
thority to investigate his political .ac-
tivities.
eff two members of the committee
could not pass upon my objections to
testifying concerning my political activ-
tiles and could not issue a subpoena"
Cannon said in statement issued last
night, II do not see how two members
could legally object to my withdrawal,
and certainly do not understand how
I could be declared by two members OF
the committee to be in contempt OF
the Senate by my withdrawal
Cannon recalled his correspondence
with Caraway prior to his appearance,
saying he would be glad to tell the
committee of the activities of the
Board of Temperance and Social Serv-
ice of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, of which he is a chairman
Then he referred to his statement
questioning the jurisdiction of the
committee, submitted when it at
tempted to examine him on his politi-
cal activities.
No Quorum.

sidered by a quorum of the committee
and Official decision be reached :"
he said. when the committee met
again Wednesday morning, Chairman
Walsh announced that there is not a
quorum of the committee present, and
It would be impossible for us to make
any order in the premises. -
Nevertheless, after admitting that a
quorum of the committee had not
passed upon my objections, Senator
Walsh warned me that my refusal
might become a penal ofense.'"
He also mentioned the SAB 300 spent
in the Virginia anti-Smith campaign,
on which he refused to testify, and
said a small vindictive group of Vir-
GINA politicians, for political reasons
for use in future campaigns are deter
mined If possible, to get the names of
the Virginia anti-Smith workers and
the amounts paid them for their work
in that campaign, which information

33.4 per cent below those of last year.
At New York City, the amount is So

Of a year ago, while the aggregate at
leading centers outside of New York
of $2,790. 664, 900 is 26.6 per cent less.
The holiday reduced clearings this
week some what as compared with the
earlier returns of this month, but the
same conditions prevailed in both pre-
ceding years. In the corresponding
week of 1929, the exceptionally heavy
transactions in the stock market
swelled settlements through the banks
far beyond any proceeding record and
bank clearings year ago, were close
to the highest report even at that time.
The declines for October Ibis year in

BONDS ARE LOWER
ON FORCED SELLING
Renewed Weakness il
Equities Results in In
creased Offerings.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 18.-Afected
by a renewed wave of forced liquidation
resulting from margin calls overnight
and by weakness in stocks, bond prices
moved lower throughout the list today.
The selling retarded the recovery that
South American and other foreign
dollar issues were making. Junior OBJ
legations were freely offered at prices
from to 2 points lower, and there was
significant volume of liquidation oil
high-g grade railroad mortgages and the
better class public utilities and indus
trials. Money rates were unchanged.
Volume was heavy.
For the moment the market disre-
garded news developments and con-
cerned itself purely with technical fac
tors. At the opening large offerings OF
all kinds of bonds brought initial prices
down and this movement became
broader as the session progressed.
Conflicting reports from Brazil had
no effect, and while Anew South Amer
lean issues, such as Bolivia 8s, Rio de
Janeiro 61as and Brazil 61as. continued
their advance, many others sold off,

Convertible bonds slipped with stocks.
A feature of this section was the weak
ness in Allegheny SIS of the 1914, 1899
and 1850 maturities. These bonds,
while carrying convertible feature, are
chiefly regarded as collateral obliga-
lions, their security being deposited
stocks of the various Van Sweringen
railroads. The indenture provides that
the collateral behind each issue shall
have at least market value of $50 per

the equalizing Of production and de-
mand for lumber should within two
months thereafter be reflected IN an
increase in general wholesale lumber
prices. Assuming that current lumber
