HUSBAND KILLS
YOUNG WIFE

BALTIMORE, Aug. 19-Because

him again, Mrs. Mildred Sewinski,
18, is dead here today, and her
husband, who shot her and then
turned the gun on himself, is in
a critical condition in Johns
Hopkins Hospital.
The girl, one of family Of 16
children, eloped three years ago
at the age of Is with Sewlnsk1
and later left him.
He learned she was with her
sister, Mrs. Hazel Reich, in the
500 block of North Streeper ST.,
and went there, trying to per
suade her to return to him.
She refused. A bitter quarrel
followed, and the young wife
drove her 45-year-old husband,
julius, into the street with an
ice pick. He drew a revolver and
shot his wife twice in the back,
then shot himself three times un'
der the heart. She died in the
same hospital where he now lies
in a serious condition.

REICH REPORT
M|RRORED IN
CAPITAL
Opinion Supports the Idea OF
Young Plan Revision, But
Old Hughes Formula Holds
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
The report of the Basic COM
mittee Of international bankers,
recommending immediate revis.
ion of Germany's reparations pay.
ments, occasioned little surprise
in Washington.
In the main, official opinion
here comedies with the verdict
of the bankers-that no appre-
ciable German recovery is pos.
sible until European political
quarrels are adjusted and repara-
tions are put upon a more mod
crate and sane basis.
Question Is-HOw?
How this is to be accomplished,
however, without dragging into
the situation the inter- allied war
debts to the United States is q
matter upon which Administration
officials chose to preserve silence
today.
The Basle committee did not
specially mention the allied war
debts. but the implication was
plain that it considered there
should be all-around revision. OF
course. revision means revision
downward. 1t could not mean up
ward.
Extension Seen
War debt payments to the
United States Treasury are now
in state of suspension under
the Hoover moratorium plan. The
belief is that the one-year mora
torium will be extended for
another year when the question
arises next June.
Thus the world probably will
have a breathing spell of some
20 months in which to work out
a scheme for further adjustment
of the war Indebtedness.
Hoover Policy Problem
No one in Washington today
was prepared to say what is to
be the part of the United States
in that all-around revision. Pro-
poSals to cancel or materially re-
duce the debts owning the United
States will find hard shedding in
Congress.
So far as the Basic report in
concerned, the next logical step
would be the designation of a
new committee of experts to start
revising the Young plan.
France would hardly consent
to that. That the United States
would take an official part in
such revision is unlikely.
For the present, the Admins
tration is clinging to the old
Hughes formula that this Gov
ernment has nothing to do with
German reparations.

SAVING To GET
NEW TRIAL

NEW YORK, Aug. ia mo-
ton will be heard tomorrow be-
fore Judge Simon L. Adler, sit
ting in Rochester, to set aside
the conviction of John Savino,
Bronx racketeer, on counterfeit
ing charges and grant the man
a new trial.
The motion was filed by
Savino's attorney after Grace
Savino, common-law wife of the
racketeer, and her friend, Kitty
Fontana, are said to have con-
fessed to having given perjured
evidence at Savino's trial. The
two women's testimony resulted
in conviction of Savino and
Henry Guerra.
The women now insist that
their story was true only insofar
as Guerra was concerned and
that the evidence against SavinO
was perjured because he had
tossed Grace aside and was try
ing to take his two children
away from her.
Savino has been out on bail
since his conviction last Septem-
Der and his appeal is now before
the United States Circuit Court.
He was sentenced to five years
after the two women had accused
him of making the $40 spurious
bills they we're passing when they
were arrested. Should their pres
ent story be found true they face
terms for perjury.

Nye Bill Would Put Limit
On Party Deals With Cities
To Finance National Confabs
By WILLIAM C. MURPHY, Jr.

By WILLIAM C: MURPHY, Jr.
The purchase and sale of ma
tional political conventions will
become a matter Of public record,
according to the terms Of bill
now being drafted by the Senate
Campaign Funds Committee.
This bill along with other pro-
posed legislation designed to regu-
late expenditures in congressional
primaries and elections will be
presented to Congress in Decenl-
ber, Chairman Nye (RO, N. d.,
said today.
If enacted by Congress, the bill
relating to national conventions
is expected to add to the woes of
party managers already depressed
by the bear market on next years.
conventions.
Itemized Accounts
The bill, according to Senator
Nye, probably will go no further
than to compel disclosure Of the
amounts put up by individuals or
cities in order to obtain a national
convention, together with an
itemized account of expenditures.
It is improbable that there will be
any attempted limitation on the
amounts which may be so ex-
pended. The bill is to be intro
duced as a separate measure be-
cause some authorities question
its constitutionality, and there is
desire to avoid imperiling the
status of the other legislation re-
lating to congressional campaigns.
In the past, although it has
been generally known about how
much various cities paid to at
tract national conventions, there
has been no compulsory account
ing for expenditures, and the sub
ject has been considered by pO-
litical leads to be one in which
the public had no particular con-
Cern.
Hearing in October
In connection with it's plan to
propose tightening UP Of the
Corrupt Practices Act, the Nye
committee will hold additional
hearings sometime in October.
Witnesses will include teachers
Of political science and students
as well as those who have had
practical experience with the
workings of the present primary
and election control.
The Nye committee has prac-
tically completed its reports on
it's investigations into the 1880
campaigns in New Jersey, Della
ware, Tennessee, Illinois and
North Carolina and will make
known it's findings when Congress
meets in December.

STATE PROBE
! >REFUSED BY
" EXECUTIVE
Curry to Garry Tepee's Plea
/ To Governor, Who Remains
! Firm on Scope Of Inquiry

ALBANY, N. Y. Aug. Is
u.N.sO-Further evidence that
q definite break is impending
between Governor Roosevelt and
Tammany Hall was seen here
today by close friends Of the
governor.
Roosevelt, outstanding candi
date for the Democratic nomina
iton for President, was deter
mined today, his friends reported,
to reject Tammany's request fol
a sweeping investigation Of up
State Republican cities.
Curry Plans Effort
This determination to disregard
the counsel of Tammany was evi
dent today when a report was
circulated through the capitol
that John F. Curry, leader of
Tammany Hall, planned to gel
in touch with the governor later
this week and make a final effort
to induce the executive to follow
one of the alternate proposals
suggested by Tammany in regard
to the special session Of the legis.
lature for next week.
Regarding this report, however,
q State official close to the gov,
ernor said:
"Curry's request will not
carry any more weight with
Roosevelt than that of Dun
nigan and Steingut."
Senator Dunnigan and Assem-.
blyman Steingut yesterday con.
ferred with the governor for two
hours and presented Tammany's
proposal for the special session
Of the legislature.
Broaden Scope Of Quiz
They asked first that he recon.
mend to the legislature that the
powers of the Hofstadter commit
tee, which is now investigating
New York city government, be
broadened to investigate upstate
cities. provided the power to con-
fer immunity on witnesses is
given the committee.
If the governor does not want
to make that recommendation,
Tammany then wants him to
urge the legislature to create an
entirely new committee to investi-
gate upstate cities.
Tammany's third proposal. in
the event the governor dislikes
the first two. is for the governor
to ask the legislature to clothe
the Attorney General and the
State comptroller with power to
grant immunity to witnesses when
conducting investigations.
May Fight Bill
In the event Roosevelt rejects
all three Tammany proposals as
Tammany leaders are privately
convinced he will, Democratic
legislators will wage a bitter fight
at the special session to defeat
the bill empowering the Hof-
stadter committee to grand i'm
munity. The Republicans, how
ever. have a working majority
in both branches D1d there is
every indication they will be able
to jam through the bill extend
