and Massachusetts,. He said that Mr.
Stengle had come to him with the
proposition of using the cartoon in the
campaign and, that Stengle had been
looking for business for his publishing
company.
Mr.. Lucas said that he had given
Stengle list of the States to which he
wished the cartoons sent and also g
list of 10000 precinct workers and 9TH
ers to whom they might be addressed
This list, he said, was the property Of
the national committee.
Senator Nye wanted to know why
Lucas had wished to spend the money
himself for literature to be used in
States other than Nebraska, where the
literature was to be used in support Of
Republican candidates.
Mr.. Lucas replied that the Republican
committee had not taken any stand on
the wet and dry issue, and that there
fore he did not wish these cartoons
designed to help dry candidates, to be
paid for out Of the national committee
funds. He said that he always had
spent his own money in past political
campaigns when he was asked by SEN
ator Wagner "if he had ever been as
patriotic as that before"
Drys Not Helping Much.
Senator Nye asked Mr.. Lucas If the
Anti-Saloon League and other dry Or
CARNATIONS were not doing their part in
the campaign in States where the wet
and-dry issue was UP.
"They did not seem to be able to help
much" replied Mr.. Lucas.
Don't you know that you were OPP
posing dry when you opposed Senator
Norris in Nebraska" asked Senator
Nye, land that you were supporting a
wet, his Democratic opponent, Mr..
Hitchcock"
Mr.. Lucas said that he did not know
that Mr.. Hitchcock was wet. Senator
Nye also asked why these cartoons had
been sent 20 Montana, where Senator
Walsh, a dry Democrat, was opposed
by Galen, wet Republican.
Mr.. Lucas said that John ]. Raskob
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee and an ardent wet, haC
contributed $4,000 to the campaign tc
re-elect Senator Walsh and that hf
Waish,s stand.
"You are the first ever to question the
sincerity Of Senator Walsh's stand on
prohibition that I ever heard OF" was
the comment of Senator Wagner.
Mr.. Lucas replied that Senator Wheeler
of Montana, a Democrat, had declared
he would abide by the referendum in
Montana on the liquor question, and
that Senator Walsh had done practically
the same thing.
Mr.. Lucas told the committee that
he had not expected the cost of the
literature sent out by the Independent
Publishing Co. to be used in the cam
paign to run so high. He said that he
had expected to have to pay himself
around $1,000.
While the contribution Of $500 sent
to j. Matt Chiffon, Republican national
committeeman for Kentucky, was undaT
discussion, it was brought out that Mr..
Chiffon had reported this money to
the clerk of the House in Washington
as a campaign contribution, but had
made no report of it to the State au-
thorities Senator Nye intimated that
Mr.. Chiffon might be called before the
Senate committee.
The committee adjourned to meet at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning, when Mr..
Mutt, treasurer of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, will be a witness

SENATE TAKES UP
| POWER PERSONNEL
Approaches Vote of Recon-
sideration of Nominations
of Three Commissioners.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Senate approached vote today
on reconsideration Of the nominations
Of three Of President Hoovers appoint
ees to the newly organized Power Gem
mission.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Of Mon
tana renewed his assault on the COM
missioners for dismissing Charles A.
Russell, the solicitor, and william D.
King, chief accountant.
Because of the dismissals Walsh has
asked the Senate to request President
Hoover to return the notice of the
Senate's confirmation of Chairman
George Otis Smith and Commissioners
Garsaud and Draper.
Terms Reason Mere PretenSe."
He termed as mere pretense" the
reason given by the three commission
ers for diSmissing Russell and King
ployes.
There was friction between Russell
and Frank A. Bonner, the executive
secretary" said Walsh, land there was
friction between King and Bonner. But
no inquiry whatever was made to de-
termine whether Russell and King were
right. For all we know, they were
right. Bonner was quitting and that
would have removed the friction. There
must have been some other reason"
Chairman Couzens of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee, which
considered the nominations, insisted
That the new law recognizing the power
commission automatically dismissed all
OF the previous employees.
Walsh disputed this 81
The Senate's authority to reconsider
the nominations was challenged by
Senator Hastings, Republican. Delaware.
Hastings said he did not believe the
Senate could remove any nominee from
Office after he had been confirmed and
administered the oath of Office except
by impeachment.
Walsh said the Senate had not given
its final approval until the time had
expired for moving reconsideration un-
der the Senate rules.
Senator Barley, Democrat, Kentucky.
said he also doubted the Senate's au-
thority, although he said the commits
sloners had dismissed Russell and King
under suspicious circumstances"
Walsh said the commission had dis
missed the employees with indecent
haste"
Hold Closed Sessions.
Disregarding Senate efforts to Gust
three of their number, the members of
the commission inaugurated TODAY a
program OF daily sessions behind closed
doors.
All five commissioners were in at
tendance. Chairman Smith pronounced
the commissions general policy one of
speed and smoothness of operation, In
silence.
The vacancies left by the ousted COM
mission officers are expected to remain
opsn several weeks, Chairman Smith
said, but the commission expects to
consider reappcintment of its remair-
ing staff of some so or 60 employees dur
ing the next several days It must also
name a chief engineer and a general
counsel.
Exceptions to the closed sessions will
be made, said Smith, in the case of
hearings on disputed reports or appli-
cations for licenses

karis, under arrest there. Pennsylvania
authorities notified local police by tele-
phone that Loskaris seemed to know
something of the Limerick case.
Sergt. Sweeney learned on question:
ing Loskaris that he had come to Bed
ford from Washington, Pa, and not
washington, D. c., as the Bedford police
had at first supposed. Sweeney salts
fed himself Loskaris knew nothing of
the Limerick case.
Further questions were put late yes
terday to Mrs. Julia Bywaters, sister
another brother, and to Reed. Police
said they wished to check up on some
"loose ends"
Another development of the mystery
was an anonymous death threat re-
ceived last night by casual acquaint-
ance of Miss Limerick, Mary Ale, Of the
1400 block Of Ridge place southeast.
Miss Ale said the note, scrawled on a
card and wrapped in mans hand
kerchief, was found stuffed in a letter
box outside her front door.
The note, the contents Of which were
withheld by police, was understood to
have referred to the Limerick case.
Authorities believed it had little bearing
upon the investigation of the shooting.
Miss Ale was at loss to explain who
sent the note or why.
Suspicion was directed to Langdon
when the dead girls mother, Mrs. Dora
E. Limerick, informed investigators her
daughter had complained that the
patrolman had annoyed her on several
occasions and that she planned to move
on this account.
Langdon was on duty from midnight
to 8 am. on the morning of the girls
death. His beat embraced the Liner
lex home. So far Langdon has not
varied his original story.

PAXTON ART GIVEN
POPULAR AWARD
Exhibition at Corcoran GAL
Iery to Continue Through
Sunday.

William M Paxton's painting, 1.-TWO
Models" a nude, is the most popular
picture In the Twelfth Biennial Exhibi-
ton of Contemporary American Oil
Paintings at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art.
AS such it will merit for its creator
the special popular prize" of 5000,
awarded by the Corcoran Gallery to
the artist whose work receives the great
est number of votes in the public refer
endum conducted last week.
"Antheia" Wins Second Place.
Second place in the voting went to
"Antheia," another nude, by Paul Ire
bilcock of Chicago, and third place was
given Betty" a full-length portrait of
woman, by Maurice Molarsky of Phila-
delphia.
Approximately 5000 votes were cast
during the referendum which began
December 90 and ended last Sunday
night. Paxton's painting received a
total of las votes; that of Trabilcock.
118 votes, and that of Molarsky, 81
votes. The remaining votes were widely
distributed among the 392 other paint
ing in the exhibition.
The first place winner Is a striking
painting of two feminine figures in a
state of repose. Paxton's pictures have
proved popular in the past, for he re-
ceived the popular prize on two prev
ious occasions, viz, the seventh exhibi-
ton at the Cocoran Gallery in 1920
and the eighth exhibition in 1922. The
artist is resident of Boston, Mass.
Exhibition Continues Till Sunday.
In connection with the Corcoran
Gallery's competition it is of interest
to note that a similar referendum for a
popular prize in the recent twenty ninth
Carnegie International Exhibition in
Pittsburgh gave the popularity prize to
a portrait by Leopold Seyffert, whose
Portrait of F. p. Keffel" has attracted
attention in the local exhibition. APP
proximately as many votes we're cast
in the referendum here as in the one In
Pittsburgh, according to reports.
A special committee was appointed
by Corcoran Gallery officials to count
the votes, which filled two ballot boxes
installed at the exhibition The re-
port of the tellers was made this morn
ing.
The exhibition will continue until
next Sunday evening. The weekday
hours are from to 4:30 o'clock. There
will be final night showing Thursday
evening from 8 to 1890 O'Clock. The
hours Sunday will be from 2 to 5
o'clock.

about seven years, he first attracted
wide public attention here by his able
prosecution of the three former officers
of the Smith Co.
Assisted by agents of the Bureau of

Assistant United States Attorney Neil
Burkinshaw, he prepared case which
resulted in the prompt conviction of G..
Bryan Pitts, G. Ebert Anadale and John
H. Edwards, jr., when the case was pre-
serted to jury in District Supreme
Court.
The manner in which the case was
handled by Mr.. Dodds brought forth
widespread favorable comment and Is
believed largely responsible for his adj
vancement.
Earlier in his career at the depart
ment he had handled numerous impor-
tant bank cases for the Government

BAY STATE BARS BILLBoARDs
Manufacturers Bright Idea Fails to
Win Official Sanction.

''Pigs is pigs" the Attorney General
of Massachusetts ruled recently In
ordering a manufacturer Of brushes
made from pig bristles to take down
advertising billboards erected on scores
of pig-farms in the State.
The brush manufacturer caused the
signs TO be erected undsr his own in
depreciation of a Massachusetts statute
which permits bill boards advertising
products sold or made on the premises.
When told that he could not advertise
his brushes on farms throughout the
State, the manufacturer replied 1t was
ridiculous to assume he was violating
the law.
IT sell brushes made from pig
bristleS," he explained. Il buy from
these farms the pigs which are manu-
featured into brushes. What could be
simpler"
The Attorney General ruled that a
billboard is billboard" and that pigs
IS pigs!" and upheld the law
This was one of a number of cases
that have come to the attention of
Roland NJ. Brennan, chief clerk of the
District Highway Department, who is
ore Of the trainers of the District S
anti-billboard measure. It goes to show,
he said, how far some people viii go
IN their attempts to circumvent bill
board regulations.

It would seem preferable to have the
law declared imperative and imprac-

In the petition for writ of certiorari
to the Court of Appeals, Mr.. West
wrote:
1.-The Interpretation of the law in the
present case, if sustained, will leave
very little, if anything, of the so-called
Borland laws. In other words, so much
property that has been assessed for
highway paving will be exempted from
assessments under this ruling that it
