IS FACING
NEW BATTLE
FOR SEAT
Nye Report Showing Million
Spent by Penha. G. 0. P.
to Open stiff Senate Fight
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE R. HOLMES
Senator James J. Davis Is. not
yet out Of the woods in his ef-
fort to establish clear title to the
seat that was denied to william
8. Vare---this Notwithstanding his
initial victory when the Senate
permitted him to take the oath
by q vote Of So to ~.
This was made clear today with
the announcement by Senator
Gerald p. Nye Of North Dakota,
chairman of the Senate's cam
paigri funds investigating COM
mittee, that evidence already has
been unearthed by his ir1vestiga.
tors that well over $1,000, 600
was spent in behalf Of the Davis
Brown ticket in the Pennsylvania
primary.
Puts Seat I'm Doubt
II this figure Is substantiated
in the final report Of the Nye
committee, there is grave doubt
whether the ex-cabinet officer viii
be permitted to retain his seat,
for it represents considerably
greater expenditure than that Of
Frank Smith, in Illinois, or that
Of Ware.
It was developed that Ware
spent some $3.50, 900 and Smith
great deal less than that, and the
Senate denied them both their
seats because Of excessive expendi-
tures. Several years ago the SEN
ate, by resolution, denounced the
$195, 900 spent by Truman II.
Newberry's friends as contrary to
sound public policy and . menace
to free government.
In view OF the Newberry, Smith
and Ware precedents, 1t thus be-
comes an acute issue whether,
with the report Of its own coE-
mittee before 1t, the Senate will
reverse itself in the case Of Davis.
Battle Royal Coming
There is to be a battle royal
over it, in any event, and it Is
known that some Of the Senators
who voted to administer the oath
to<DaviS will vote against his be-
ing allowed to stay If and when
Senator Nye proves to their salts
faction that he was the bene-
ficiary Of q million-dollar primary
expenditure. Senator Nye said:
'Tt will be proven beyond any
doubt that more than $1,000.
900 was spent on Browns ac-
count, and L don't believe that
even that figure Is the end. We
are going to have further hear
ings."
Davis friends contend that
even If that amount of money
was spent in behalf Of the joint
ticket. it really was not donated
and spent on Davis account.
Francis Skunk Brown was the
Republican organizations weapon
against Clifford Pinchot, and it
was his nomination and election
as governor the organization de-
sired above anything else. Con-
sequently while admitting that
Davis may have been the indirect
beneficiary Of money spent on be.
half Of Brown, it is the conten.
tion Of Davis friends that he
should not be held accountable
for it.
"GhOSts" to Stalk Senate
In any event, the way is be.
ing cleared for an interesting
and highly significant battle
when the Senate comes down to
consideration Of what to do with
the ex-cabinet officer after one
Of its own committees reports
that, he was the beneficiary OF

porary employment from time to
time with the bus company that
his father owned and Of which
the younger Mr.. Bush Is now the
head.
Samuel Walker, Of 1891 I st.
s. E., testified that he met Ma
honey and Carnell on the night
of october Is. He said that after
taking few drinks together, Car.
nell asked him to pawn his top
coat. AS he was about to enter
the pawn shop at 1928 Seventh
st. N. w., he said that CarHell
stopped him and said:
watch that coat, there Is
some blood ON it. / 1as in .
fight several nights ago"
Walker said he got 81 for the
coat and that the money was used
to purchase q quart of whisky.
He identified the blood-stained
coat that was introduced as evi-
dence as the one Carnell had
given him to pawn.
Nine men and two women were
seated in the jury box when the
trial opened this morning. A man
named Hart, who was first ex.
amined, was accepted by the Gov.
ernment, after which Mr.. Collins
said that the jury was acceptable
to him.
Women Were Challenged
Louis Whitestone. who. with w,
r. Lichetenberg were named last
week by the court to defend Car
nell. then challenged the two
women who were seated in the
jury box. The women are Mary
Caldwell and Ellen L. Smither
The challenges came following q
consultation between CARMEL and
his attorneys.
On two other occasions, after
the jury box had been filled, Mr.
Collins said he was satisfied with
the jury as constituted. The de-
fense, however. challenged the
jurors on each occasion before the
defense finally said that it was
satisfied with the jurymen who
will hear the testimony.
Jury Is Selected
The Jury selected is composed
Of the following: John r. Harder,
jr., Harry w. KillanS, Eugene r
Reavis, Lester L. Charlton, Harry
C. Beam, Harry r. Collins, B. W.
Holmes, Roland Hudson. Benjamin
C. Frazier. Charles M. Medford,
M. L. Hunter and Albert NJ
Snapp.
Carnell and Mahoney were in
most cheerful moods throughout
the early session today. When
they entered the courtroom and
took seats Immediately In the
rear of their attorneys, they
turned and smiled and nodded to
acquaintance. They continually
prompted their attorneys during
the session, both as to questions
to be asked prospective Jurors
and witnesses who were called
by the Government to testify.
Carnell's face, however, became
very red while Mr.. Collins was
telling Of the holdup and murder
to the Jury. Mahoney was, to

Revolt Reported QueIIed
But Leuion Is Called

MADRID, Dec. 16 dN.SO.
The Spanish Foreign Legion
poured out of Morocco into Spain
today to reinforce the home army
against further revolutionary. out
breaks and general strikes which
have battered at the foundations
Of King Alfonso's regime the last
few days.
Hundreds Of the sun-scorched
desert fighters were shipped to
principal cities as loyal forces
held the country in a vice-like
grip after smashing the second
revolt within q week against the
royal government.
Martial law blanketed all Of
southern Spain and a large part
of the remainder, although COM
plete order was reported even
from the cities where general
strikes continued. Strict censor
ship hampered communication
with outside points.
Premier D'AmaSo Berenguer in
formed King Alfonso at the RayOI
Palace last night that the mon
archy was in no danger, and
that the rebellion Of the air
force on CuatrO VientOs airfield,
near Madrid, had been stamped
out as thoroughly as the uprising
Of the Jaca Garrison on the
French frontier q few days
earlier.
The premier further declared
that some 1,2O0 persons who had
staged the revolt were under ar.
rest. including most Of the lead
erS.
Franco Under Arrest

Ramon Franco and several COM
panions, who landed near the

ton that their coup d'etat-the
first air revolt In history-had
failed disnally.
Major Franco. designated by
authorities here as the leader Of
yesterdays revolt Of the capital
air force, escaped from tail
recently and remained in hiding
in Madrid since November "a.
Appearing suddenly on Cuatro
Vientos airfield, he persuaded a
number of his aviation friends to
join him in launching an attack
against the government, locking
those who refused in hangers.
For several hours they circlad
Madrid ShOwering down leaflets
prOcIaiming a republic, but the
quick collapse of revolutionary
elements on the ground brought
aerial efforts to naught. .Ap-
propriating fast planes for them
selves, Franco and several friends
sped off toward Portugal and to
ward night landed safely near
Lisbon.
To counteract the possible ef-
feet Of revolutionary, pamphlets,

leaflets condemning the action of

the city remained orderly and

in force. A similar situation pre-
vailed in other cities, according to
reports here.

tOs Field, near Madrid, had been
freed by the Lisbon authorities
upon giving his promise he
would not leave the vicinity. He
was given permission to roam
freely as far as Mafra on the
coast. !.
It was learned on reliable au-
thority here that Alfonso has been
prepared for some time to quit
Spain If conditions continued to
develop unfavorably. While not
extremely wealthy, the King Is un-
derstood to have made adequate
provision to care for his family in
a foreign land in the event that
the tide of republican sentiment
should enforce his abdication..
Queen Is English
In this connection, it was re-
called that Alfonso has kept IN
constant and intimate TO lch with
the British royal family, and
that his wife, Queen Victoria, who
is q member of English royalty,
has always had close British
relative or friend staying with
her whenever possible in Mad
rid
The. fact that the. Spanish au-
thorities are reported to have
been compelled to summon mem
bers Of the Foreign Legion to the
capital to bolster its defenses
lends color to the persistent re-
mort that the army may not be
80 completely loyal as the gov
ernmnet maintains.
The artillery corps for years
has been a hot-bed Of republican
agitation, and prior to the recent
outbreaks at the Jaca garrison
and the Cuatro Vientos air field,
has always been the leading fac
ton in military uprisings in
Spain.

HOMEMAKERS TO SHARE IN
COOKING DEMONSTRATION
To Be Held Coming Week Under
Miss Benthien's Supervision

Cooking demonstrations will be held
during the coming weeks at the Loeb
Lynn Aid hall, Office of the home dem
onstration agent, and in homes of the
various clubwomen, according to Miss
Elsie Benthien, home demonstration
agent. These demonstrations are a
part of a countrywide project in the
preparation, and serving of meals
which is being carried on by the wo-
men of the county under the super
vision of Miss Benthien. There will
be demonstrations at the home of Mrs.
S. C. Beachy, Bittinger, and at the
home of member of the Friendsville
and Selbysport clubs.
At these meetings mullins" will be
baked, using pattern recipe with
emphasis on what a pattern recipe is,
the accurate measurements, proper
ton of ingredients and method. "Nu-
triton plays an important part in
each food demonstration" Miss Ben
THEN said, $50 with mullins there will
be a number of variations that will
add interest as to the health factor"
Several homemakers will assist
with the demonstration. The mullins
will be judged so that all may learn
some of the causes of failure and just
what must be done to obtain success
full product.
Unusual interest has been shown in
this prospect by the women of the
county, according to Miss Benthien,
and in her opinion it is one of the
most helpful they have understaken.
1t deals with the practical and every
day problems which make the routine
in every home and which every home
maker is striving to make easier and
less time consuming. She is particu-
arly anxious that many of those who
have moi, been in the habit of attend
ing ADMINISTRATIONS in past years
shall take advantage of this oppor-
tunity. It is her advice that each
woman locate the demonstration that
is most convenient to attend and then
make plans to do so.
