PRESIDENT |SF|RM
IN PENSION STAND
Hoover Holds Opposing 0pin-
ion, Despite Passage
Over Veto.

Regardless of the overwhelming man
ner in which the Senate and the House
yesterday overruled his veto of bill
liberalizing pensions for Spanish War
Veterans, President Hoover is of the
same opinion regarding this legislation
as he was when he declined to ap-
prove it.
In comment upon it today, in which
he said that he had not changed his
opinion, he made no attempt to men
ton directly or indirectly the members
of the Senate or the House.
The President in explanation said: II
favored a liberalizing of the Spanish
War Veterans pensions because they
had not been on a parity with other
services, but have not changed my
opinion that it should have been
worked out in such way that rich
men, or men having substantial in
comes should not draw pensions from
the Government; 1 have made no sug-
gestion at any time Of a pauper pro-
vision against veterans or anything
akin thereto"
AmpliteS Service STAND.
st do not believe" the President con-
tinued, I'VE should alter the principles
which have been held for Civil War
veterans all these 10 years. requiring
that men claiming pensions should have
at least 80 days service.
Further than that, do not believe
it Is right to change our national
policy and to call upon the nation to
all IN
have or who may tomorrow destroy
their health by vicious habits.
"I have received numerous commune
cations from veterans supporting these
views"
Substantial majorities in both branches
of Congress voted late yesterday to pass
the measure in spite of the Chief Ex-
ecutive's disapproval. The Senate vote
was 81 to Is, and that of the House,
298 to IA.
On both roll calls the Democrats
voted Solidly against the President,
while group of administration depend
ables supported his position. The
Western independent Republicans joined
the Democrats of the Senate in approx
ing the bill.
Coin Veto Accepted.
Although it was Mr.. Hoover's second
veto, it was his first to be brought to
a vote. Several months ago he vetoed a
bill to provide for the minting of spe-
cial coins in connection with the cele-
bration of the Gadsden Purchase and
his veto was permitted to stand.
In returning the pensions measure to
Congress, Mr. Hoover objected to it on
the ground it would authorize the pay
ment of compensation to veterans for
disabilities arising from their own
vicious habits that it made no re-
uuirement Of need as well as disability
in the awarding of pensions and that it
lowered unduly the minimum period Of

day by members of the Senate District

bill that could be completed at this
session.
Chairman Capper of the Senate Dis
trict committee earlier in the day indi-
Gated he would be agreeable to sending
the bill to conference if that course
finally should be thought best.
Yielding Of House to Be Sought.
The other alternative would be for
the Senate to accept the House amend

of the bill. The purpose in seeking a
conference will be 70 endeavor to have

LEROY BRADY JURY
TRIALS
OF PAIR SEPARATED
Examination of Witnesses'ls
Started at Rockville in
Bomb Case.

Soon after Leroy Brady, young auto
mobile mechanic, elected to be tried by
jury in Circuit Court in Rockville to-
day on a charge of murder in the Seat
Pleasant bombing on New Years day,
IL men were chosen and examination of
witnesses began. The Jurors were named
In less than an hour.
The Jury was chosen after Leroy'S
brother, Herman Brady, young farmer,
had obtained a separate trial on a
similar charge by demanding trial by
court instead of jury.
Nearly three score talesmen were
examined before the panel was filled.
As sworn the jury was composed OF 10
farmers, a merchant and a stone mason.
Members. Of Jury.
The jurors selected were:
William S. Magruder, farmer, Lay
louisville; William W. Poole, farmer,
Poolesville; Edward F. Riordan, mer-
chant, Laytonsville; Benoni D. Allnutt,
farmer, Jacksonville; John A. Howard,
farmer. Woodf1eld; Charles e. Lochte,
stone mason, Montrose; Harry s. Wheel
er, farmer, Colesville; Ridgely Chi
chester, farmer, Olney; william P.
Jones, farmer, Brookeville; Hiram w.
Harvey, farmer, Sunshine; George P.
Plumber, farmer, Laytonsville, and
Zachariah M. Waters, farmer, Laytons-
vile.
The original plan was to place the
brothers on trial at the same time be-
fore a jury. Under the defense motion,
each of the defendants would have been
given a separate trial by jury. Failing
in this request, lawyers for the de-
PENDANTS instructed their clients to seek
trials of different character in order
to eyade the ruling on the motion.
Asked Private Consideration.
In announcing the decision to over
rule the motion, Chief Judge Hammond
Urner said the reason for the action
would not be announced because the
attorneys for the Brady brothers had
asked that the motion be considered
privately in the chambers of Judge
Urner and his associates, Judges Robert
B. Peter and John S. Newman
M. Hampton Magruder, chief of de-
Tense counsel, in offering the motion
originally explained he felt that there
might be testimony having bearing
on one of the defendants which would
be irrelevant as concerning the other
brother thus delaying the progress Of
the trial and confusing the jury.
j. Frank Parran, States attorney OF
Prince Georges County, chief of counsel
for the prosecution, and j. Wilson Ryon
former States attorney for Prince
Georges County, voiced vigorous opposi-
ton to the motion. Parran seemed
greatly pleased at the conclusion of the
two-hour conference in the judges

ZOO SUSPECTS HELD
IN CHICAGO AS GANG
WAR CLAIMS NINE
Tenth Man Believed Slain
Carried Away by HoodIums
Last Night.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 3-An epidemic Of
murder-nine in three days, with six
persons dangerously wounded-today
was treated with the police panacea-
an intensive, city-wide roundup Of bad
men.
More than 400 persons, including
three who are listed among the crime
commissions public enemies" had
been arrested at dawn, with police
squads still deployed throughout the
city. Even as the squads spread over
the rear of the fashionable Belmont
Hotel, Belmont and Sheridan road.
Several persons saw the fash of the
guns in the North Side alley and heard
the shots. Guests in the hotel were
awakened by the roar of the guns, but
no victim was found. It was gun at
tack like the one last week in which
the victim, after being shot down, was
carted away by his attackers. A police
man reported seeing an automobile
racing down Belmont avenue shortly
after the shots we're heard last night, a
mans form slumped in the seat beside
the driver and the tonneau filled with
other men.
Raid SiciIian Sections.
Police Commissioner Russell, ordering
the roundup of gangsters, hoodlums
and suspicious characters, concentrated
his men in the Sicilian sections. Three
of the nine gun victims in the last
three days have been Sicilians, and sew
eral others have been wounded. The
commissioner also believes that in the
Sicilian colonies will be found men al
lied with the beer rings which are
blamed for the outbreak of gunnery.
Among the 200 arrested as first fruits
of the roundup were Jack McGurn
(called the machine gunner of the
Capone gang, James Belcastro and
Rocco Fanelli-three public enemies. "
Deputy Commissioner Stege's inves-
tigation of the gun outbreak led to
the discovery that gang leaders recently
have been tapping the telephone wires
of each other, listening in on each
! others plans and thus being able to
get the jump" on their rivals.
They read about the States attor-
neys men tapping wires" said Siege,
land they thought 1t would work for
| them, too"
Tells of Duel Plans.
Siege said he had learned that a
| duel to the death between Capone men
and cohorts of George Bugs Moran
4 was In the making. It was this knoWl-
edge, he said, that prompted the police
roundup.
In the deputy commissioners opin-
| ion, the recent slayings we're traceable
to the murder May IS of Peter Plescia
That Staying, he said, broke the peace
pact between the gangs and war was

At the bottom of most of the gun
merry, however, is beer, Siege believes:
the conflict between rival beer rings
to gain control of lucrative territory.

at Fox Lake early Sunday when three
