G. o. P. Leaders Plan "Gag"
Rule to Slash Fund by Half
And Cut Out Food Loan

President Hoover'S influence
with Congress was to be tested
again today by consideration Of
the Senate $50, 100000 drought
relief food, seed and feed loan
bill in the House.
Taking their stand with the
President, House leaders were de-
termined to cut the total Of the
bill to $50, ,O00, 900 and eliminate
the provision permitting farmers
to borrow money to buy food.
The course Of the measure was
undecided early today, but Repre-
sentative Haugen tR) Of Iowa,
chairman of the Agriculture
Committee. planned to call it UP
under suspension Of rules. which
requires q two-thirds vote.
Called Gag Rule"
This procedure, denounced by
the Democrats IS gag rule" pre-
vents the offer Of amendments.
Chairman Haugen proposed to
bring it before the House as
recommended by the House Agri.
culture Committee. carrying
$50, 0,000, 900.
Passage Of the measure in this
form by the House, would result
in a conference between House
and Senate and a probable COM
promise.
Representative Garner of Texas,
Democratic floor leader, and Rep
reSentative ASwell CD Of Louisi-
ana, ranking Democrat on the
Agriculture Committee, bot h
promised to make a determined
effort to prevent suspension of
rules.
They take the position that a
loan Of $60,0O0,00O is needed to
relieve drought sufferers in "a
States.
Opposed by Hyde
Use Of this proposed fund for
purchase Of food has been de-
nounced by Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Hyde as being "perilously
near the dole"
Republican leaders say that If
farmers are permitted to use the
money for food, Congress will be
forced to pass bills appropriating
funds to buy food for the unem-
ployed.
The major relief bill Of the
Administration carrying $116,.
O00, 900 for highway, river and
harbor and similar work-was to
be reported to both the Senate
and House by conference commit
tees today.

DISTRICT DRY BILL
TO BE CONSIDERED
Howell Measure Will. Come Up in
Senate in Present Session,
Leaders Indicate.

The Senate will be given an oppor-
tunity some time during the remainder
of the present session to consider the
Howell prohibition bill for the District
Of Columbia, it was indicated following
conference yesterday of Senate leaders.
The conference was an informal one
for discussion of the probable program
to be followed by the Senate during the
next two months, and no definite an
nouncement was made as to the order
of business. It was indicated, however.
that the Howell bill was one Of num-
Der of measures considered as likely to
be taken up between now and March 4.
The conference yesterday included
Senator Watson of Indiana, Republican
floor leader; Senator McNary of Ore
gon, assistant leader, and Senator Golf
of West Virginia, chairman of the Re-
publican Steering Committee. The
Steering Committee, which recommends
the legislative program to the Senate,
considered the Howell bill several weeks
ago, and the indications at that time
were that the bill would be given O
place on the program after the Wicker
kham commission had made Its report.

INSPECT PROPOSED
WAR-NAVY SITES
Chairman Smoot Announces
Commission Will Confer
Again After Tour.

After another meeting today devoted
to discussion of where to locate the new
War and Navy Buildings, members OF
the Public Buildings Commission left
the Senate Office Building shortly before
noon to make tour of inspection OF
the various proposed sites.
Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman
said the commission would go into con-
ference again following the inspection
either this afternoon or tomorrow morn
ing. No indication was given, however
as to how near the commission Is to a
decision.
The discussion is centering around
three areas:
On the south side Of the Mall, be-
tween Maryland and Virginia avenues,
known as the Southwest site, and two
separate areas west Of the White House.
Ten days ago indications were that
the Southwest site was the one most
likely to be chosen, but there have
been recent reports OF trend toward
one of the other localities. Members
of the commission are remaining nom
committal until decision is reached.
One of the sites west of the White
House. understood to have the backing
of officials of the Fine Arts Commits
sion, is the area in front of the Inte-
rior Department Building, between
Eighteenth, Nineteenth, F streets and
Pennsylvania avenue, for the War De-
partment, and the opposite side OF
Pennsylvania avenue to I street, be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets, for the Navy Building.
Another suggested area is in the
same neighborhood, but extending south
from the Interior Department and west
of Eighteenth street.
In the discussions that have taken
place, one of the arguments raised
against the southwest site is that it
would necessitate relocation Of the rail-
road tracks further south at an esti-
mated cost of 100000.

Recognizing the unmiStakable odor OF
corn whisky early this morning, two
fourth precinct policemen trailed it to
its source a block away and captured
one of the largest stills ever found in
Washington. Three men were arrested
as operators.
Policeman j. w. A. McKimnie was
standing at the corner of Ninth and q
streets southwest, when the odor reach
ed his nostrils. He turned to his part
ner, Policeman M. P. Creel, and they
shifted together.

Smiling the heavily laden breeze as
they went, the two policemen traced the
odor to the second floor of 933 H street
southwest.
Break Through Door.
In complete darkness they charged UP
the stairs and broke through a door
ner and leaped on John Wesley Viii
lans of Waldorf, Md, who was trying
to crawl under a canvas cot.
Officer McKimn1ie heard the sound
Of running feet and started in pursuit
He came to a sudden and unexpected
halt, however, as he ran headlong into
a 1,500-gallon still. Dodging through
Is watts, each containing 1000 gallons
Of mash, the other two operators
escaped.
They were captured this morning In
nearby humber yard and identified
themselves as Harry Price, 80 years old
and William Brown, colored, 81, both
Of Waldorf. When found this morning
Price was in his shirt sleeves and
Brown was without shoes. Charges will
be placed against them later.
Stin Is Elaborate.
When Lieut.. s. J. Marks and Sergt
G. M. Little reached the scene with
Pvt. w. A. Pennington they found a
still of elaborate proportions.
The huge copper still and coils were
sncaSed in timbers. The mash watts, new
ly made, were built of one-inch boards
reinforced. A dozen laundry tubs were
handy to receive the flow Of liquor.
The steam boiler was on the lower
floor, its condition bearing out thc
operators story that but one batch OF
mash had been run off.
Something new in safety devices was
also discovered on the lower floor. A
hole, located directly over a sewer, had
been sunk to depth of several feet. It
was believed the men in charge Of the
still had planned to dig through to the
sewer so they might install system of
blowers to carry the telltale fumes out
through this exit
Living quarters, an ample supply of
food, a stove and extra clothing had
been provided for the operators.
