Cuba Turns Efforts
To Raising of Horses

HAVANA, Dec. 23.-The Amer
Iican motor car and tractor with
their ability to devour space and
accomplish mans tasks, have not
vet eliminated the horse from
Cuba, which is turning its energy
to the improvement of its breed
on a pretentiouS scale. /
Out on the new Cuban Central
Highway, between Havana and
Matanzas, the government has
completed what is said to be the
second Arabian horse breeding
station in the Western Hemisphere.
Here officials expect to produce
each year 100 or more fine horses
to replace the animals Of poorer
quality now in use.

NAVAL MISSION
DISCHARGED
BY BRAZIL
U. S. Group Let Out Because
of Expense, While French
Army Mission Is Retained

The American naval mission to
Brazil headed by Rear Admiral
N. E. Irwin is being withdrawn
from Rio de Janeiro January /,
the State Department announced
today.
The new provisional govern
ment of Brazil has determined 1t
cannot bear the expense Of main
tanning the mission, which was
sent three years ago to assist in
training the Brazilian navy per
sonnel.
Some of the 16 commissioned
and 10 petty officers Of the mis-
sion already are on their way
home and will report for new
assignment, probably, before New
Year Day.
There was no friction between
the mission and the new Brazilian
government, State Department
officials said today. Rumors to
that effect arose because the
State Department supported the
administration overthrown there
two months ago.
The French military mission to
Brazil has not yet been with
drawn, however, and reports in
Washington are to the effect It
will remain.

Young Robber Breaks Jail
on Day After Hearing Doom
For Killing Of Paymaster

SALEM, N. j., Dec. % U.N.S0.

October z. last, was the object OF
an intensive hunt today.
He escaped last night from the
Salem county jail and was be-
lieved to have fled South.
Two Were Condemned
Fithian and Peter Giordano,
IS, of Bridgeton, N. j., were SEN
fenced i. yesterday by Common
Pleas Judge Henry Burt Ware.
Giordano was convicted two
weeks ago and Fithian week
ago-both of first degree murder
without recommendation Of
mercy, which made the death
sentence mandatory.
Mr.. Macausland, paymaster
for the Salem Glass Co., was
shot down when three robbers
sought to hold him UP as he
was entering the moulding shop
Of the plant.
An alarm was sent to the
state police and to police OF
all cities and towns In New Jer-
sey and Maryland. The state
police sent out motor patrols in
Q search for the fugitive.
Jumped From Roof
Fithian escaped, it was re-
ported at the Jail, by standing
on a table in his cell and squeez-
ing his way through ventilator
which leads to the roof.
The roof of the Jail is about
IS feet above Broad Street, in
the heart Of the town. Evidently
the condemned man jumped, for
there was no trace of a rope.
Fithian and Giordano were
awaiting removal to the state
prison at Trenton and were to
have been executed during the
week of February 8.

HOOVER To HOLD
CRIME BODY
FINDINGS
President win Not Submit
WiCkersham Report This
Session; Dispute Is Feared

The legislative and political
chaos that threatens to befog
what little life is left to the
seventy-first Congress viii not be
further complicated by anything
which he Wickersham commis-
sion may report, according to
word conveyed to Republican
leaders at the Capitol.
Nature Is Doubtful
AS to what the conclusions OF
the commission will be concern
ing prohibition, there are as many
rumors as there are starlings on
Pennsylvania Avenue. Reports
that it's differences have been ad'
justed vie for credence. Chairman
Wickersham remains silent.
Irrespective, however, Of whether
the commission does or does not
report soon, and. irrespective It's
conclusions, party leaders In Con-
gress are confident that President
Hoover will not toss any fresh con.
troversy into the den Of dissension
on Capitol Hill between now and
March 4. >
Can Hold Report
Three avenues are open to the
President once the report is in
his hands. He can transmit it
to Congress with q favorable
recommendation of its findings;
he can transmit it with an un-
favorable recommendation, or he
can simply send it to Congress
with no recommendation. But.
If Mr.. Hoover wishes to do so he
can withhold it until March 4
has sounded the death knell Of
this session.

Teaching in the Temple" was wor-
thy of more consideration than the
classes assembled were able to give
it. Still to those who were present
some good thoughts were expressed,
which, no doubt were very helpful
to those who had a part in the dis
cussiOn.
The sermon of the pastor, Rev.
James NJ. Faulkner which followed
the close of the Church school, was
taken from Isaiah $50. To the few
present the pastor preached etfec-
lively and held the attention of his
hearers to the end Of his discourse.
The storm having cleared away
the. evening services were held with
many more people present.
The Epworth League services at
7 u. m. Mrs. c. A. Timmons, leader,
had a very nice program which was
interesting throughout.
The sermon of the pastor on
Faith" was grand. Mr.. Faulkner up
to the present time has preached no
duU sermons, but his discOurses are
founded on strictly Bible truths ana
are well worth hearing. Come out
and hear him. -,

jority. organization evidently were
confident of this large majority
or they would have decided Sat
urday afternoon to use this short
cut.
Had this course not Deen de-
termiIled upon Representative
Lehlbach could have gone to the
Rules Committee and asked for
special rule to expedite the Dale
bill. Without that the bill would
await its turn on the calendar.
BY the suspension Of the rules
method the House leaders indi-
rectly answer expressed fears of
groups of Government employees
that the Senate bill might be
held back so long in the lower
chamber that it would fail.
Fairly Satisfactory
Although the bill as reported
by the House Civil Service Com
mittee is largely the Senate bill,
and omitS some provisions Of
the substitute Lehlbach bill, as.
suranceS are given by Lehlbach,
Majority Leader Tilson an d
Chairman Smell, of the Rules
Committee, that the House &C.
ceptS the compromise, will re-
tain the Senate number and put
through apparently the best legis.
lation that can be obtained at
this time.
It is described as fairly salts
factory to Senate and House lead,
ers and conflicting groups of
Government workers.
In the present form the bill
still carries provision Of the 81
per month tontine to be taken
from the employees contribution
to the retirement fund, but the
more drastic forfeiture provisions
are out Of the bill.
Definite and Certain
Filing the majority report
Chairman Lehlbach said tn e
amended bill from his commit
tee retained the provisions Of S.
Is, the Dale bill, and gave a
technical analysis of all p visions
as they are generally understood.
He concluded that the bill is
an appreciable liberalization of
the existing retirement law and
1T will make definite and Ger.
tain the rights of all participants
Of the retirement system in the
money they contribute; and it
will make definite and certain
the obligations of the Govern,
ment."
