House And Senate Agree
On Amount OF Bill For
Unemployment Aid.
SENATE DEFEATED
Flexible Clause Granting
Discretionary Powers
Retained.
BY LYLE e. WILSON
I nited Press staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Dec l3. U.P)-
IN agreement was reached by house
and senate conierees today on the
administration unemployment bill.
They reduced the total appropria-
ton from Sll8,000.000 to $l16,000,-
coo and retained the flexible clause
permitting President Hoover dis
e1ation il allocating funds.
= The conferees eliminated the SEN
ate amendment by Democratic
laor Leader Robinson restricting
The Presidents power in distribut-
ing the appropriation and also re-
duced from $5000,000 to $1,000 900
the appropriation for constructing
reads on public lands. The con-
terence report must be passed upon
by The house and senate.
The senate and house are expect
td 20 take final action early next
week. after which the measure will
20 to President Hoover for his sig
nature Thus the administration 5
major relief bill will become a law
before Christmas.
The conference agreement was a
victory for the house and the adj
ministration. Only two changes
we're made in the original house
bll and these in matters of appro-
puations One was the $4,000 coo
Tor roads on public lands. for which
the senate had voted S5,00o000, and
The other an amendment for S3,-
G0C.000 FOR forest roads.
The original house bill provided
cll000G 900 and the senate bill
Sll5O00.000
Retention of the flexible clause
was an especially notable victory
Tor the administration. since Dem
cciats had sought to eliminate
GRANT OF his authority.
WASHINGTON, Dec 49, UP
Another dispute has been added
To the issues aggtavating relations
between President Hoover and the
senate.
MI. Hoover objects to an amend
mcnt made by the senate to the
emergency unemployment bill. The
change. suggested BY Robinson and
adopted unanimously without de-
bate would prevent Mr.. Hoover
from disposing Of the sum appro-
rrated as he may desire.
the house sent the bill to the
senate with a proviso that Mr..
Hoover could transfer the sums ap-
propriated in the bill from one
purpose to any other and Robinson
objected that was, III effect, a lump
sum appropriation. Forthwith it
was stricken from the bill.
MI. Hoover today apparently con-
templates the possibility of vetoing
drought relief legislation if con-
qress insists it shall appropriate
3G0O0O.000 And he objects, al
though less sharply, TO the senate's
amendment of the unemployment
measure House Republican lead
crS are resorting to every possible
parliamentary maneuver to prevent
the senates S60.0o0,000 drought bill
from reaching the floor for vote.
II appears the house would sup
port the bill despite Mr. Hoover's
objections if a free expression OF
opinion were possible. The Presi-
dent wants 10 limit the appropria-
ton of SOS, 100000.

OUTSIDE JACA, Spain, Dec. l3.
-(Via Telephone to Paris)-Loyal
government troops delivered
crushing blow to the Jaca revolu-
tionary forces today in short, fur
ious encounter near Ayerbe, short
distance from Jaca.
Two columns of federal troops
were drawn up and point blank ar
tillery fire was opened on the rebel
columns.
Officials estimated the dead and
injured at 100.
Many civilian and military lnsur-
rectionists were captured and gov
ernment officials considered the in
surrection virtually ended as the
other rebels fled to the mountains.
The commanding government Of
ficials had not definitely decided
on disposition Of the prisoners cap
tured but it was expected general
ly they would be executed by fir
ing squad at dawn tomorrow.
The encounter, witnessed by the
United Press correspondent, was an
overwhelming victory from the first
blow struck by the government
forces. Defeat of the rebels almost
was a massacre as they. fell before
the whitening artillery fire.
The artillery fired squarely into
The rebel ranks, telling dozens of
revoluticnarieS with each shot.
Screams of the wounded pierced the
dull roar of cannons.
Th shattered insurrectionist
forces previously had fallen back
to the south in an effort to deploy
and entrench themselves a mile
outside Ayerbe. Two columns of
loyal regular troops advanced on
the run from Huesca and Sara
gossa, accompanied by eight bat
teries of artillery under command
Of General Dolla.

they never should approach any good
things to eat which they might And
unless they had first made careful
search for hidden traps.
"It's all nonsense" declared this
young Muskrat. We've never found q
trap and don't believe we ever will.
He Is just trying to scare US. For my
part I would like to see one Of these
they are 90 dreadful as he makes them

Most Of his brothers and sisters felt

we're at first rather cautious in ap-
preaching pieces Of apple and carrot
that they found here and there along
the bank, but they soon forgot this and
things scrambled out heedlesSly lest an
other should also find the treat. OF
course, that was Just pure greed.
It happened that one evening the
boldest young Muskrat swan little
farther down the Laughing Brook than
he ever had been before. It was moon
light, Just the kind of a night that
Muskrats love. Just before dark he had
caught q glimpse of that strange boy
who so often visited the Smiling Pool
and the Laughing Brook. He had been
ocme UP to the Smiling Pool AS a re-
suit there were no pieces of apple or
carrot around the Smiling Pool that
evening. The young Muskrat suspected
that there might be some along the
bank Of the Laughing Brook where he
had seen that boy and he intended to
find out.
No one saw him slip away In the
moonlight. He meant that no one
should. Out Of the Smiling Pool and
down the Laughing Brook he swan. For

reached the last familiar place he hest

"Pooh!" said the young Muskrat to
himself. What is there to be afraid
Of? OF course, It is safe I won't have
TO go much farther anyway, for I am
near where saw that boy"
So he swan on and as he swan he
watched for landing places that other
Muskrats might have used, and with
his nose he tested every little wander

The young Muskrat stopped swimming

Somewhere up on that bank were some
carrots. There was no doubt about IT.
He began to swim toward shore, look

Just ahead Of him was an old log

was a perfect landing place. More than
this, the odor Of carrot came from the
upper end Of that log. The young
Muskrat swan straight for that log ano
he hurried. He had but one thought
now-to get that carrot. He was utterly
needless. He paid no attention what
ever to his surroundings. He swan In
over the lower end of that log and then

There was a sudden snap as one foot

The English overran Scotland and

to be concealed on q small island called
Inch Malone. or the Isle Of Peace, in
the middle Of the Loeb Of Monteith. A
prtory was her home, and prior her
guardian.
Her nurse, Janet Sinclair, was with
her, and four companions. who came to
be called the Queens Marys-Mary
Beaton, Mary Seton, Mary Fleming and
Mary Livingston. On the first sign Of
danger they were to be spirited Of 70
the Highlands. Meantime the Queen
played games in . little bower and gar
den Of box trees especially laid out for
her.
The French came to the aid Of Scot
land with an army Of 5000 men. At
the same time Henry II offered to re-
ceive little Mary and bring her up as
wife to his eldest son, Francois, the
D. uphin.
She made the perilous journey 70
France. Better, perhaps, II she had
been captured by the English, for then
she would have become the bride Of
Edward VI and escaped her ultimate
sad fate.
In France she was received In the
little port Of Roscon by the Sieur de
