SN|PER SOUGHT
AS BRIDE DIES

WEST ORANGE, N. j., Dec. 10
0.N.SD Terror of a phantom
sniper," whose depredations have
cost the life of a bride of five
months, gripped inhabitants here
today.
. Death came through the win
dow for Mrs. Grace Juliano, an
expectant mother, when a bullet
ripped through the glass and
curtain of her bathroom as she
was about to step into the tub
last night, and struck her in the
back. She died while being
rushed to the Orange Memorial
Hospital.
Only a few minutes before she
was shot, a mystery bullet, ap-
parently discharged by the same
sniper, crashed through a window
in the living room of j. C. Dorm,
whistling close over his head
and that of his 18-year-old daugh-
ter, Herroldyn.
Mrs. Juliano was the daughter
of John A. Moffett, conciliator
of the Labor Department in
Washington and a former presi-
dent of the United HatterS Of
North America. Her husband, Jo-
seph V. Juliano, is a manufactur-
ing furrier in Newark.

TWO BILLS ASK
DIRECT RELIEF
FOR JOBLESS
Costigan and La Toilette Back
Measures Seeking $780,
100000 Appropriation

The Democratic and Pro
gressive drive for direct Fed
eral relief for the unemployed
is under way in the new Con-
greSS.
While Republicans and Demo
Gratis harangued over the question
in the House, two bills calling for
huge appropriations for this pur-
pose we're introduced in the
Senate by a Progressive and a
Democrat.
Each announced he would press
for early consideration. They
seek to have a measure for this
purpose reported before the
Christmas recess, so the issue can
be taken up on the floor immedi-
ately upon the resumption Of busl-
ness.
Senator Costigan CD of Colo
RADIO offered a measure calling for
the expenditure of $125,000, 900 by
June /, 1892, and $3.50, 900 900 for
the next fiscal year and Senator
La Toilette (R) of Wisconsin in
troduced a bill specifying a total
outlay of $250,0O0,000.
La Follette's bill is designed to
make Federal funds available to
States, cities and local govern
ments for relief purposes. In a
statement issued on his measure
today, he declared the $3.50, 900, 900
is needed at once and it may be
necessary to appropriate still ad-
ditional funds.
Acceptance by the States and
local governments of the Federal
funds is voluntary under his
plan.
Part of the Federal appropria-
ton is required to be set aside
as a special emergency fund to
enable the Federal Unemployment
Relief Board to aid directly in
acute situations.

GRAPE CONTROL
NOT SUCCESS

The Grape Control Board will
continue and let future years
determine its usefulness, despite
its admitted failure to maintain
stabilized market for the 1890
crop of California grapes, accord
ing to the annual report of the
Federal Farm Board to Congress.
The control board contracted
to buy all surplus grapes, over
and above normal tonnage
which would not glut the market
if sold by the cooperatives in
their usual manner, the board
leaving this surplus on the vines
or selling the grapes to by-product
firms.
Chief of these latter was Fruit
Industries, Ltd, which has long
been in the news in connection
with grape juice activities.
The Federal Farm Board, in
thus reporting on its second year
of administering the agricultural
marketing act, says it is mot pre-
pared at this time to recommend
any change in the act"; testing
over a longer period is asked in
stead.
The report is replete with sta
tisticS which contend that coop
erative marketing as sponsored
by the board is increasing and
gaining in effectiveness, and that
the worldwide depression was
alleviated considerably in this
country by the boards activities.

HOOVER BUDGET.
PROMOTION BAR

No promotions within the grade
are contemplated for Federal EN-
ployes in the budget for the
fiscal year ending 1888, just sent
to Congress by the President. In
fact, the 1855, 100000 reduction
of governmental; expenses for the
year have eliminated promotions
which $4,000 Federal classified
employees were expecting to re-
ceiVe, invo Wing $6,352,398 in
higher salaries.
Some Of the departments, such
as the Civil Service Commission,
have had no promotions in some
time. The Presidents proposed
economies do not forbid such in
creases, however, in cases where
an employe in Grade CAF z
tranfers to a post a grade higher.
The Budget Bureaus analysis
notes that a further sum Of ST.
824,938 is expected to be saved
in Federal salaries in the next
fiscal year. making a total saw
ing out of Government salaries
of $8,177,336.
The present average salary of
$2,147 will be reduced to $2,134
in the 1888 budget. Instances
of reductions of personnel of va.
riouS departments are numerous
in the Presidents budget.

MOSES To LOSE
MORE VOTES

The legislative functioning of
the Senate was blocked again to-
day by the battle over election
of a president pro tenn to preside
in the absence of the Vice Presi-
dent.
The insurgent revolt against
Senator George H. Moses, of New
Hampshire, the Republican nom
inee, appeared to be forcing him
out Of the race. Some regular
Republicans would desert his ban
ner during the day, it was said.
The Democrats had little hope
of winning the post with their
nominee, Senator Pittman Of Ne
vada, because the insurgents re-
fused to bolt. Pittman led on
each of the seven ballots.
It was reported Administration
leaders would ask Moses to with
draw if he lost strength today.
They were anxious to end the
deadlock, as the Administrations
one-year moratorium on World
War debts must be approved by
Tuesday to keep the nations from
defaulting.

P DOL SKATING
Up To J. FROST

If there is skating on the IN
coin Memorial ref1cct:ng pool this
winter it will be only when ma
ture provides it.
The Commission of Public
Buildings and Public Parks made
this clear today, citing the cur
tailed budget and President
Hoover'S economy program as
contributing factors against in
stallation of artificial freezing
equipment.
The project, which was consid-
cred some time ago, would cost
100000 or $4,000, estimated Al
bert Clyde Burton, assistant
maintenance chief in charge of
recreation, for installation alone
without considering the cost of
operation.
Further objections to use of the
pool as a public skating arena
were cited by Winfree johnson,
sports supervisor. Conversion of
the pool into a skating rink would
result in "undc !rable CONNER
cialism," he said, while the large
crowds gathering there would
ruin adjacent grass plots.

concern over the Manchurian sit
uation, renewed his recommenda-
tionS for American adherence to
the World Court, reported that
negotiations we're in progress With
Canada for construction of the st.
Lawrence waterway, stressed the
need for further disarmament,
informed the Congress of the
Laval and Grandi visits, and
took up various minor matters
affecting Latin-American rela-
tionS.
Debts Chief Interest
Chief interest, however, CEN
tered almost entirely in the
recommendations concerning the
European debts, for on this queS-
ton congressional sentiment in
the past has been strongly in
favor of exacting full payment
under agreements already exist
ing
In recognition of this senti-
ment, Mr.. Hoover phrased his
recommendations most carefully.
His reference to the visit of
Premier Laval of France in Oc-
tober, during which it was au-
thoritatively stated that an un-
derstanding had been reached
that Europe's debts to the United
States would be scaled down COM
mensurately with the reduction
granted Germany in reparations,
was most casual.
Must Be Extended
Although Mr.. Hoover made no
mention of an extension of the
moratorium beyond next June,
there is little doubt felt here
that it will have to be extended.
Even with the moratorium, Ger
many is tottering on the brink
of economic collapse, and Great
Britain is in serious difficulties.
The President defended the Ad-
ministration's course in the Man
churian situation. over which, he
said. 1--WE have been deeply con-
cerned." He went on:
"AS parties to the Kellogg
BRAND pact and the nine-pow-
er treaty, we have response
biIity in maintaining the in
tegrity of China and a direct
interest with other nations in
maintaining peace here.
Appealed to Council
When this controversy Origi-
mated in September, the League
of Nations was in session and
China appealed to the council
of that body which at once
undertook measures of cOncilia-
ton between China and Japan.
Under he KellOgg-Briand
pact and of conciliatiOn pro-
ceedingS by the League cove
nant coincide.
"It seemed, therefore, both
wise and appropriate rather to
aid and advise with the League
and thus have unity of world
effort to maintain peace than
to take Independent action. In
all negotiations, however, the
Department of State has main
tained complete freedom of
judgment and action as to par
ticipation in any measures
which the League might finally
be determined upOn."

swung back and forward in his
swivel chair.
The occasion was the contra
diction of the testimony of Harry
Degler, young grandson Of Harry
Jones. that he was sure it was
on July 81 that he saw Powers
on the road near the Quiet Dell
murder garage"
Like his granddaddy, Harry
Degler told of Powers breaking
down in his automobile and bor-
rowing pair of pliers.
But young Harry was positive
that it was a moonlight night
and that it was July 81 because
he remembered reading about
"the corn roast" in the local
newspaper next day.
CroSS-examined by defense
counsel, young Harry could not
find any reference to the corn
roast in an issue of the local
paper for August l. Harry said:
II guess 1 made a mistake"
Furthermore, the newspaper
carried a report of the thunder
storm which occurred in the
vicinity on the might before.
An Important Point
The Importance of this point
is related to the claim of Powers
on the witness stand that he was
in Uniontcwn, Pa, and Hagers-
town, Md. on August 81. He
denied being on the quiet Dell
Road.
Defense Counsel j. Ed Law 1nd1-
Gated, however, he expected his
client to be convicted.
If Powers does march to the
gallows he Can blame it partly
on the fanciful story he has told
from the witness stand.

FLAY
TAX On AUTOS

President Hoover's proposal to
restore Federal automobile taxes
met with so much opposition to-
day in both Republican and Dem
ocratic circles it may never be
adopted by Congress.
The two Republican Michigan
Senators-Couzens and Vanden-
berg-led the protest against it.
Couzens said he might favor a
luxury tax on automobiles, if the
luxury cars could be distinguished
from those used for business.
Senator Norris (R0 of Ne
braska, the insurgent leader, also
condemned it. He said he would
vote for it only if the Admins
tration could prove it was neces-
Sary to balance the budget.

Predicts the GaIIOws
He said that the automobile

boro, which Powers started or
would end him up on the gallowS
Stathers laughed at the story
of Powers that the mysterious
Cecil Johnson stole Mrs. Lemke
away from the defendant ir
Uniontown. He said:
"And so Powers finds them
eating together and he lunches
with them.
"And johnson says to Powers,
You cash one check for Mrs.
Lemke and I'll cash the other"
$50 Powers pulls out the trif-
ling sum of about $1,5OO to
cash a check and gives John
son his own check for the other.
"He was positively identified
as the man under the name of
Weaver who cashed the two
checks on August TO-"
UNBELIEVABLE TALE
"It is an impossible un-
beIievabIe story.
Mrs. Lemke was murdered
probably on July 81. He said
it might have been done by
Charles Rogers, who had the
key to the garage.
"YOu can't tell me that any
body can bury five bodies on
your property without your
knowing it.
Nobody can tell the jury the
terrible grueSOme details of this
crime, how Mrs. Lemke was

The defense scored a minor
victory by forcing a fresh-faced
youngster to admit he was wrong
in part of his testimony.
