'JURYLESS' BILL
DUE TOPASS
IN HOUSE
Vote Is Expected Today; Vets
Plan Fight; Jones 5 and 10
Modified; Drys Hold Power

Modification Of the Federal
court jury system which has en-.
dured for $50 years was slated
to receive approval Of the House
today as a part of the program
of President Hoover and the
WiCkersham Law Enforcement
Commission to speed prosecution
of prohibition cases.
With a five-hour fight ahead
before a final vote is reached. the
House had already placed its
stamp of approval upon other
bills involved in the commission
program, thus forecasting ap-
proval of the last measure.
The wet bloc" aided by some
drys, was prepared to fight to
the last against the so-called
"juryless trial. bill, which they
declare breaks down one Of yhs
fundamental rights guaranteed
the people in the Constitution.
Preserve Rights
There contention is denied by
the sponsors of the bill in the
House, as we'll as the commission
headed by George w. Wicker
sham, former Attorney General
and chairman of the Presidential
Crime Commission. The right Of
jury trial, they assert, is pre-
served.
The House voted yesterday to
modify the Jones 'f1ve and ten"
law.
Under the bill passed by the
House the maximum penalty un-
der the Jones law is cut from five
years in prison and $4,000 fine to
six months imprisonment and
$500 fine.
Two Other Bills Passed
Two other bills passed as part
of the program permit district
attorneys to prosecute petty Of
fenses on information, rather than
by Grand Jury indictments, and
give all defendants in original
cases the right to waive jury trials.
House leaders decided to give
the entire afternoon to the bill.
after vets yesterday made charges
of gag rule" The right to offer
amendments to the commission
bills was denied, and only motions
to recommit permitted.
The House decision on the COM
mission bills thus far showed the
drys and supporters Of President
Hoover in overwhelming control.

.|MPASSE FACES
D. {. BUDGET

A long deadlock In conference
committee over the District ap-
preparation bill appeared in pros
pect today as members OF the
Senate District Committee deter
mined to insist upon its amend
ment directing larger contribu-
ton from the Federal Treasury
to the District government.
The Sen 70 amendment calls
for a FED, al contribution Of
$4,000, 900, while the House con-
ferees, headed by Representative
Robert G. Simmons. Nebraska,
are standing by the usual $9,00O,-
900 sum.
1t was said that Senate leaders
have practically informed Sim
mons that if he holds out for the
$9,000,000 amount the entire Dis.
trict budget for the next fiscal
year may fail. While sentiment
in the Senate is for the $l2,OOO,-
900 Federal allowance. a comrro-
mise between the two sum- is
possible; but it appeared today
that the Senate had its back up
and would not yield to Simmons
and the House. Simmons has
also been adamant.
The differences are believed to
have been accentuated by the
pending row over the police and
fire pay bill, a separate measure.
Simmons recently had his way IN
the House and amended the pay
bill as it had been passed by the
upper chamber.

SENATE,F0ES
CONGEDE
Friends Show Less Assurance,
But Poll Indicates Margin Of
Victory Lies With Grundy

A strange contrast of views on
the fate of the Administration S
"billion-dollar" tariff bill were
aired today by opposing leaders
as the Democratic-insurgent 7oali-
ton sought to delay a vote in
the Senate until the end of the
week.
Administration leaders who pre-
viously asserted they had suffi-
cient votes to insure passage of
the bill in both House and Senate
announced they feared the out
come.
Watson Not So Sure
Opposition leaders, who once
said they might defeat the bill,
contrarily declared they expected
it to pass. Senator Watson (R0
of Indiana, floor leader, said:
"The outcome looks close. 1t
may end in a tie vote. I'm
hopeful but the opposition may
win"
Senator Norris (R) of Ne
braska, insurgent leader, said:
"YeS, the vote will be close,
but they've got enough votes to
put it over on the American
people,"
Senator Simmons CD of North
Carolina, minority finance leader,
said:
THE result will be decided
by one or two votes"
Depends on Grundy
An independent poll by Inter
national News Service indicated
the bill would pass by margin
OF two votes or with Vice Presi-
dent Curtis breaking a tie-de-
pending entirely on the attitude
of Senator Joseph R. Grundy fRD
OF Pennsylvania, so-called grand
daddy of all lobbyists" and
credited with having "fathered"
many items in the bill.
One report had it Grundv
would vote against the bill.
Grundy himself was absent and
silent. His opposition. the poll
indicated, would result in a tie
vote.
Forty-three Republicans and
five Democrats were known to
favor passage. This would be
half of the Senate, with a tie re-
sulting if all other Senators voted
against it. The Democrats favor
ing it were Senators Fletcher and
Trammell of Florida. Broussard
and Ransdell of Louisiana, and
Kendrick of Wyoming.
Al Certain Opposed
Twelve insurgent Republicans,
one Farmer-Laborite and "a Dem
ocrats were reported as opposing
the bill. This would total Al
votes against the measure, with
Grundy doubtful"
There will be two, and possibly
'hree record votes. The con-
ference report already has been
divided into two sections and
each must be adopted separately
before final vote on the whole
bill.
Opposition leaders seemed to
be delaying vote on the second
section until the end of the week.
Senator Pat Harrison CD of
Mississippi launched the final at
tack on the bill. He declared
the bill had been made "unbear-
able" by the influence of Grundy.

CREMATION
Of DEAD
Gunmen Adopt New Method
For Disposing of Enemies;
Police Roundup Continues

CHICAGO, June 4 QN.SO.-
Open warfare waged between the
Capone and Moran gangs for
dominance of the Chicago liquor
traffic reached a critical state
today when the body of the
eighth victim slain in four days
was found by police.
The latest victim of the gang
war was found in West Side
alleyway. He had been strangled
to death on a typical gang
"ride." and the body hurled from
the slayers' automobile.
Evidence of Torture
That he had been tortured in
an attempt to force him to i'm
plicate others in the recent wave
Of gang reprisals was evident.
The victims wrists were tightly
bound with wire and a welt
around his neck indicated he
had been garrotted. There was
no evidence of gunplay.
A chauifeur's license card in
one of the dead mans pockets
identified him as Thomas Som
nerio, known as "muscleman"
in the ranks of "ScarfaCe" AL
Capone's gang.
Somnerio, according to police,
was one of several who we're in
dicted for the murder of Octavius
Granady. negro candidate for
committeeman in the Bloody
Twentieth" ward With Somnerio
at the time. and indicted with
him we're Louis Clemente. a Ca
pone henchman, and Rocco Bel
castro. All three were acquit-
ted.
Victims Being Crema4ed
Detectives investigat ting the Fox
Lake massacre of three Capona
men and the wounding of two
others yesterday uncovered a
gangster's cache of dynamite
when they raided a garage in
search of a crenatory where the
gunner are supposed to have re-
duced their victims to ashes.
Hidden in the furnace at the
garage was box of 100 sticks of
dynamite. Beside the box was a
bundle of fuse and caps. Police
said for days they had been receiv-
ing reports that the Aiello-Moran
gang, sworn enemies of the Ca
pone, forces, had been cremating
their victims.
Bennie Bennett, a New York
hoodlum, who came here to join
the Newber1y gang, vanished, and
is believed to have met death in
this crematory. William Higgins,
a st. Paul, (MinnD gangster, is
thought to have met his fate in
the same manner.
States attorneys investigator,
Patrick Roche. investigating the
crematory, declared he had been
told that Philip Gnolfo, shot to
death Saturday, was running the
death furnace.

The beauty and luxury of
furs makes them more and
more Of a necessity in the
wardrobe of a smart woman.
Today practically everyone
who can afford a fur coat
has at least one, and many
women have several. In
deed, it's quite smart now
to have a wardrobe of fur
coats, as they are so spe-
cialized for the time Of day
for which they are worn.
New trends in fur coats
make them so interesting
that it's easy to see why
you would want more than
one. They are so soft, PHI
able and wearable. Sports
fur coats are really suitable
only for sports and likewise
formal fur coats are only
for dress. Therefore, if you
can afford two or more you
will find that you have plenty
of use for them.

Many Furs
Are Smart
This Year
From William Rosendorf.

The kind of fur you choose
depends on where you want
to wear the coat and whether
or not it is an all-occasion
coat. If you must wear a
fur coat to business, for
afternoon and perhaps even
for evening, there are several
good choices. Lapin is a
favorite with young people
for general wear because it
is neither too formal nor is
it strictly a sports coat.
Lamb is another fur that is
good for general wear and
of course caracul is a favor

Furs, Lovelier Than Ever

ite. A mink coat is suitable
for any time of day and is
luxurious enough to be used
in the evening. A fine fur
is always in coed taste and
in good fashion no matter
what time it is worn. But
remember that this year, the
thinner and more pliable the
fur, the smarter it is.
There are certain furs that
are almost classics for sports,
such as raccoon. Young peo-

Fur Coats Often
Resemble .
Cloth Coats

The newest and most no.
ticeable thing about this
fall d fur coats is their strong
resemblance to cloth coats,
both in silhouette and in de-
tail. The first reason for
this likeness is the softness
Of the furs themselves. Pelts
are worked so that they are
thinner and more pliable,
although they lose none OF
their strength and warmth.
Bulkiness is eliminated in
cutting and scanning SO that
lines are as slim as possible.
Fur coats are not quite as
detailed as cloth coats, for
after all most Of us wear
them for a longer time, but
their lines are just as grace
full and flattering.
The silhouette of a fur coat
is long and slender with a
graceful sweep from shoul-
der to hemline, usually
slightly broken or held in at
the waist. There is added
width around the bottom
which is seen sometimes in
a gentle flare and is always
present in a wider wrap
around. This makes the coat
warmer and more practical
as well as more fashionable
this year. Such details as
boleros and bloused backs oc-
casionally appear on furs but
there's danger that details
may be carried too far, so be
careful that the lines are
right if there s much intri-
cacy of cutting. s>~
The Washington times., 1930-09-17
Length Is An
Important Question

There's an interesting
story in the length Of fur
coats also this year. Paris is
wearing a few of three-quar-
ters length, though we
haven t seen many in Wash
ington of this type. They
are very smart, but most wo-
men don't consider them as
practical as a full length

Details Make
Fur Coats
Individual

The collar and cuffs or
sleeves are the best means
of attaining individuality in
your coat. Collars of con-
trasting fur are used, but
coats seem a little newer this
year when they have a col
lar Of the same fur. Shawl
collars are good, and the
newest ones are a little
shorter, or squared in a be-
coming manner. They are
usually convertible so that
they may be worn high or
low. There are other scarf
or roll collars that are at

coat. Jackets are particu-
larly good in Washington
where it's cool enough to
wear a fur coat, yet often the
weather is so mild that a
jacket will do. The full
length coat, however, is a
universal favorite and this
year it should be long enough
to cover your dresses. That
means, of course, that it
should be at the middle of
the calf.

pie like leopard also for
sports and general wear.
Muskrat is very popular too,
and is better when the skins
are worked in an interest
ing design. The vogue for
black makes Hudson seal or
Alaska seal more popular
this year than ever, and the
vogue for brown gives added
popularity to such furs as
mink, brown lamb and brown
caracul. Ermine is of course
a classic for evening, and
it's also exceedingly smart
for formal daytime coats
when it's dyed brown or
beige.
