WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page IL

over for a short time. The term of
Lincoln Dixon. Democrat of Indiana,
appointed to the Commission by the
President last year, will expire this
month, and the third vacancy is
caused by the tragic death of DR.. AL
fred p. Dennis. The country is still
waiting for the tariff miracles that
were promised from a rejuvenated
Tariff Commission when the Hawley
Smoot bill was under debate.
Chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional caucus, Representative Will
lis C. Hawley of Oregon. is preparing
to issue call for meeting, Novem-
Der 80, to nominate candidate for
Speaker to succeed the late Nicholas
Longworth. The caucus will be held
a week before the converting of Con-
gress to enable Republicans to con-
solidate their strength against the
Democratic candidate, John N. Garner
of Texas. Representative John @. Til
son of Connecticut, Republican leader
Of the House, seems to be the leading
candidate for his party's nomination,
but will have plenty of opposition
from Bertrand Smell of New York,
Chairman of the Rules Committee and
Representative Ramseyer of Iowa, who
will muster his strength from the
Western Progressives opposed to both
Tilson and Smell. The Democrats on
the other hand expect to receive solid
support from their party for Jack Gar
ner and gain additional strength from
Progressives and Democrats who may
win in special elections.
The long standing dispute between
the Speaker of the House and the
President of the Senate over social
precedence was revived in small
way with the issuance of the new
Congressional automobile tags for
1882. Undoubtedly, when Vice Presi-
dent Curtis signed the bill last year
directing the District Government to
provide special Congressional license
plates for Members of Congress he did
not realize what social repercussions
would occur. However, the Vice
Presidents automobile will now carry
number one, and the Speaker of the
House, number two. The next Speak
er's lady and Mrs. Gam may come
to an impasse over who shall sit at
the right hand of the host at state
dinners, but as far as parking priv
leges are concerned the Vice Presi-
dent is victorious.

Word comes from Copenhagen that
F. w. B. Coleman, appointed United
States minister to Denmark, is ac-
ceptabIe to the Danish government.
MIR. Coleman succeeds the late Ralph
Booth who died while on his diplo-
matte post in Copenhagen. The new
minister has represented the Amer

lies and is said to have proved very
efficient diplomat.
Rather Unique.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Knutson, Nor
wegian farmers near Dalton, Mimi,
have celebrated their fiftieth wedding
anniversary, according to belatedly
published accounts. A golden we'd
ding is ordinarily an interesting event
but this was made more SO by reason
of the fact that the minister who pro-
nounced Mr. and Mrs. Knutson man
and wife in 1881, was present at the
anniversary celebration, and that also
the best man, Martin Soliah, and the
bridesmaid, Maren Olson, were in at
tendance. 1t is probably the only case,
on record where all those taking Of
fetal part in a wedding ceremony
were present on the occasion Of its
fiftieth anniversary.
Depre sion.
When economic conditions are nor
NAL, Swedish-Americans send to their
relatives in the old country about 4
million dollars per year through
postal money orders. Recent Stats
tics show that during the last fiscal
year this amount has decreased to
little more than million dollars. No
public records of money sent to Swe-
den through bank drafts or express
money orders are available.
Convention in Detroit.
On September IA the quadrennial
national convention of the Danish
Brotherhood of America will open in
Detroit, Mich, where an elaborate
conference and entertainment pro-
gram has been prepared. Delegates
will come from practically every lodge
of the organization in all parts of the
United States. On September Is the
convention will come to close. Sew
eral questions of supreme importance
to the Brotherhood will be discussed,
and it is expected that far-reaching
decisions will be arrived at.
To Study Dialects.
Professor Didrik Arup Seip and DR..
Ernst Selmer arrived in this country
from Oslo, Norway, on September 5,
for the purpose of studying the old
local Norwegian dialects retained, to
some extent, among immigrants in
the United States. Many of these
colloquialisms have gradually disap-
peared from modern Morse, and the
two philologists have come to the con-
clusion that they can be traced better
in America than in the country of
their origin. They will also lecture
at several American universities.

CLUES SUGGEST
HIS OWN GANG
SHOT LEGS
Diamond Wounded With Gun
Similar to Those Found in
Raid on Barn Beer Dump

CATSK1LL, N. Y, May s
UNSO.-Jack Legs" Diamond,
who will seek his release on bail
today on a charge Of carrying
weapons, may have been shot by
his own gang.
Investigators deduced from a
report Of Captain william A.
Jones, ballistics expert, that the
New York racketeer might nave
been felled by one Of his own
henchmen when he was shot
about 10 days ago in front Of
an inn near Cairo.
The ballistic expert reported
that Diamonds wounds were
caused by shots fired from a
12-gauge sawed-off shotgun, SINH
lar to those found the day after
Diamond was shot in an autolno
bile in Catskill.
He discovered further that a
barn near Cairo, where State
troopers last week located tn
Diamond gangs central beer
dump, had been riddled with
shot, apparently from the same
weapons used in the Diamond
shooting.
A further possibility. according
to authorities, was that Harry
Western, missing ex-rival of Dia.
mOnd in the beer racket, had
been shot in the barn.
NEW YORK, May 8 GN.SO. .
Evidence gathered by the Federal
Government in an effort to link
Jack Legs" Diamond to bootleg
ging and racketeering activities,
will be presented to Federal
grand jury here on Monday.

cation of Diamonds activities had

For Grave Space
To AUOid Kin

TRENTON, May 8. - Miss
Mary E. Pierson, of North Plain
field. went to Chancery Court
to make sure that when she
dies she is not buried between
her brother and his first wife.
She asked a court order to
direct the First Presbyterian
Church, of Railway. to permit
her to move the body of her
brother, william, who died in
1927. AS the graves are now,
she said, there is only space for
one more grave in the family

the grave of William and his
first wife. Being buried there,
said she, would be distasteful
