JOFFRE'S DEATH
IS RUMORED

set I'm, making his condition
alarming" So.
The presence Of gangrene neceS-
STATED amputation Of the right
leg, it was learned authoritatively
by international News Service to-
day. The leg was severed above
the knee. The official COM
munique issued by his three
physicians made no mention OF
the amputation.
Indicating the seriousness OF
the marShaPS condition, head
quarters stated that although
Madame Joffre desired facts
about his illness kept q strict
secret, his grave condition finally
persuaded her to allow full pub
lication Of the facts.
Earlier Reports Denied
Marshal Joseph Jacques Cesaire

in the last several weeks, but
the reports were as consistently
denied.
The robust, white-haired little
man, whose picture decorateS,
perhaps, more homes in France
than that Of any other national
figure, is 7S years old.
Ever since the close Of the war,
Marshal and Nine. Joffre have
spent the vigorous winter months
in their villa in the south Of
France.

within the last few years he has

President Ordered 0usting
Of Men; Brookhart Ired

President Hoover himself was
responsible for the dismissal OF
Charles A. Russell, solicitor Of the
Federal Power Commission, and
william v. King, its chief account
ant, 1t was learned today.
With this disclosure came an
other, that the Senate Interstate
Committee was notified the Presi-
dent desired Russell, King, and F.
e. Bonner, executive secretary,
eliminated. The committee re-
ceived this information before it
started hearings on the new COM
mission, 1t was reported.
BrOOkhart Is Ired
Senator Brookhart (R) Of Iowa.
however, took issue with this as.
sertion, which came from q high
authority. Mr.. Brookhart said the
committee. in secret session, took
up only the matter Of Mr.. Bon
ner's dismissal. Mr.. Bonner has
long been a storm center at the
Capitol among Senators opposed
to alleged friendliness to the
Power Trust within the old power
commission.
Other members Of the Senate
committee declared the commit
tee knew all three men were 70

It was apparent that any at.

tions Of George Otis Smith as
chairmen; Marcel Garsaud, OF
New Orleans, and Claude L. Ora.

misSioners, might strike o legal
Snag.
Neither Ralph B. Williamson
Of Yakima, Wash, nor Frank r
McNinch, Of Charlotte. N. c., the
other two members, have taker
the oath, and in their case the
situation was said to be not Sc
complicated.
ParliamentarianS pointed out
there might be q question Of the
Senate'S power to reconsider those
who have received their commits
sions from the President and
have been indicted into office.
Fight to Continue
They said the procedure In
such a case would have to be the
adoption Of a resolution in the
Senate requesting" the Presi
dent to return the nominations
Then a motion to reconsider
could be made. The President
of course, might refuse.
It was considered probable
that, despite the parliamentary
aspects of the situation, Senator
Brookhart and others supporting
Russell and King will keep UP
the fight.

There were great and near
great at the party. The Vice
President was there, and his
sister, Mrs. Gam. The Secretary
Of War was there. So were mem
bers Of the diplomatic corps,
bankers, financiers. family friends
and social registerites.
They came from afar, to wit
ness this launching Of a new
bud. Special trains brought New
Yorkers to the Capital. One
whole floor Of the hotel was re-
served for out-of town guests.
There was food aplenty. First
a dinner. Then at midnight a
five course supper And around
5 o'clock this morning, when the
dancers were just beginning to
tire a bit, there was a most de-
licious breakfast.
There was entertainment, radio
stars being imported to keep the
guests merry while they dined
and supped and rested between
dances.
Detectives Guard Jewels
On the debutante's supper table
was a most exquisitely designed
model of a church. And ribbons
running from this edifice to the
guests seats gave them their
favors-cigaretJe lighters and
vanity cases. Novel idea to have
such things concealed in q
church!
There were police and private
detectives there, too, to guard
the millions Of dollars worth of
Jewels and to keep gate crasherS
from attending this, the most
thrilling debutante party Wash
ington has seen.
And amid it all she was the
most calm. Daughter Of Mrs.
Doherty by a former marriage
and adopted by the financier,
she wore a simple gown and a
diamond cross was her only
adornment.
