SENATE MAY BE FORCED TO WORK
 NIGHT SESSIONS
If They Want to Get HOOv-
 CT Moratorium of $252,- OOO,OOO Passed Before
 Christmas, They Must Work Nights
BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press StaH Correspondent

(Un1oG0 EPeSS stan COFTcSpOn0enC)
 Washington, Dec 21-The senate met today under the threat of night session to get the $252,00O.O poo Hoover debt moratorium into Eu- ropes stocking before Christmas.
 But the gift may be sharply qualified by an expression of con- gressional policy in opposition to any further cancellation or reduc- tion of war debts.
 White House pressure for imme- diate enactment of the presidents 3 domestic credit relief program hes failed. Congressman are determined to have their Christmas holiday begin after Tuesday. In their own defense many of them assert that Mir Hoover could have obtained ac- tion on all his emergency bills long before now if he had been willing to summon congress in extra ses- sion last summer or early in the autumn.
 Senate and house leaders have agreed it will be impossible to cre- ate before the holiday the $500.- 900, 080 (million) reconstruction finance corporation or to make ad- ditional treasury funds available to federal banks and joint-stock land banks.
 The house Saturday passed the land bank bill. making an addition al $10O, 900, 900 of government funds available to bolster the depleted capital of the agricultural credit system. The bill also extended a quasi i-moratorium to farm debtors by permitting them to extend lapsed mortgage payments over a five-year period. The bill now goes to the senate.
 Senate Majority Leader Watson said he would keep the senate in session tonight and tom orrow night to ratify the war debt morator- ium. Senator Johnson, rep, Calf :. who leads the senate fight against ratification, comedies that the .mor- atorium resolution will win. The house ratified 1t in a night session last Friday and attached reserva- tion against cancellation or further reduction.
 Chairman Collier of the house ways and means committee an- nounced today that his committee would set to work on a tax increase measure immediately after the hol- lday recess, WltH tHe aiIh VI Pa'" ing a bill in the house by the first of February. This should give the senate ample time to act before March 15, when first installments on 1892 taxes are due.
 Secretary of the Treasury Mellon advocates Q retroactive measure, with the new rates going into ef- feet on taxes paid next year on income of the present year. To achieve this, the bill would have to he signed before March 15. Chairman Collier is opposed to the retroactive feature, and many democrats agree with him. Fms promises to be quite an issue In the tax battle.

The second was series of hearings before the
House Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce on the McNary-Parker merchant
airship bill, designed to foster American airship
design and construction. The third has been
the progress of the naval appropriation bill,
carrying an item of 81 625 900 to complete the
zRS-4 and to begin construction of the zRS-5.
The trip Of the u. s. S. Los Angeles rigid air
ship acquired by the Navy from Germany, to
Panama TO participate in the feet maneuvers
also has stimulated airship interest. This was
the first purely military flight Of the 7-year-old
German ship and the results Of her cruise are
regarded as of great importance In view Of
the coming Of the two great American airships.
THE military future of the rigid airship is
assured" David S. ingalls,, time Navy lace"
and present head of Naval Aeronautics, de.
clared He said that the interest of the Navy
Department in airship development is primarily
military, but that the department is consider
ing the commercial aspect of airship transport
tation. Emphasizing the great aid Of the
airship in future sea operations, particularly in
scouting far at sea- Mr.. ingalls, compared the
zRS-4 with the modern cruiser, now the back
bone of the scouting feet
THE time for construction of cruiser" Mr..
ingalls, said, sis something over three years;
that Of the rigid airship less than year. The
original cost Of modern cruiser is approxi-
mately SIS, 900 600; of one of these rigidS
approximately $2,5OOOO0 to $4,000, 900, or one
fifth of the cruiser cost. The operating cost Of
such cruisers Is between 100000 and 100000
year; that Of the rigid airship somewhere be-
tween 100000 and $1,000 Aboard the cruiser
there must be approximately 60 officers and $50
men; the rigid airship, IL officers and so men.
The top speed OF the cruiser is "a knots: that Of
the rigid airship 728 knots. The cruiser carries
on board from two to four planes; the rigid air.
ship five planes"
The cruiser carries larger armament, from
0-inch guns down. Mr.. ingalls, pointed out, but
the Akron will take In the air the heaviest
armament ever flown. Sixteen machine guns
Of 50-caliber size, effective at range Of 5000
yards and hitting with the force Of q five-ton
blow, will make the airship formidable oppo-

step toward greater efficiency, resulting from
better streamlining, and toward increased
strength. 1t will be the first airship regularly
equipped to carry airplanes. 1t win be the first
airship with the engines mounted inside the
hull or body It will be the first airship with
swiveling propellers, designed TO be used for
forward motion, to drive the airship upward
or to serve as brakes.
1t is difficult for the average person to gain
an adequate conception of the size OF the
Akron. In the air there is nothing close by
to afford a comparison. The airports upon
which these monsters land are so large that
ordinary objects are too far away for direct
comparison to be made. The Akron will be so
enormous, however, that were she to land on
the Capitol plaza she would completely obscure
the Capitol Building, except the top Of the
dome, including the Senate and House wings,
from the view Of observers standing in East
Capitol street or at the Library Of Congress.
The Akron would be longer than the entire
Capitol Building and, with her buffer bags
resting on the pavement Of the plaza, the top
Of the great hulk would rise high enough to
obscure all but the upper part Of the Capitol
dome.
Two city blocks Of 10 or IL story buildings
could be tucked into the ship, with the greater
part Of another block Of lower buildings showed
in to I'LL the tapering nose and tail.
p IGID airships have been forcibly called TO
the attention Of the National Capital by
several important recent developments. The

When YOurCOueh
Hangs On, Mix
This at Home
MRS. BRUCE

The best cough remedy that money
could buy, can easily be mixed at home.
1t saves money and gives you the most
reliable, quick-acting medicine you ever
used. The way it takes hold of stub
born coughs and chest colds, giving
immediate relief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
2h ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a
pint bottle, and fill up with plain gran
ulated sugar syrup or strained honey.
It's no trouble ut all to mix. and when
you once use it, you will never be with
out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes
goOd-children really like it.
1t is surprising how quickly this
loOsens the germ-laden phlegm, and
soothes and heals the inflamed mem
branes. At the same time, part Of
the medicine is absorbed into the
blood, where it acts directly on the
bronchial tubes, and helps the system
throw off the whole trouble. Even
those severe coughs which follow cold
epidemics, are promptly ended.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful in
cases of severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

BODY Of DRAvES
GIRL DUG Up
FOR TRIAL
Kirkland Defense Wins Plea
For ELIMINATION and Autopsy
to Clear a Accused Youths

REYNOLDS, Ind. March
QN.SO.-On a quiet, snowman
tied hillside, among the tomb
stones Of her mother and other
ancestors, Arlene braves body
was today brought out of the
earth in order that it might be
examined for additional evidence
in the trial of Virgil Kirkland,
charged with the girls murder.
Arlene's brothers, Elmer, Carl
and Kenneth. and her sister,
Elsie, wept as the steel cac ID
casket was disinterred.
Charles M. braves, the father,
suffered nervous breakdown,
and could not be present.
State officials with attorneys
and medical experts representing
the prosecution and the defense
stood about the open grave.
Done BY Court OrdI
The body was exhumed in ac-
cOrdance with an order granted
in Porter county court late yes
terday by Judge Grant C. Crum-
packer upon request Of the de-
fense.
The casket was transported in
a hearse to the city hall of this
village, where a new poSt-mortem
was to be made on the body in
an attempt to show that evidence
Of vital importance to Kirkland'S
defense had not been secured in
the original autopsy.
New Autopsy Tomorrow
= The sensational trial was sus
pended until tomorrow while the
new autopsy is in progress.
The dead girls relatives op-
posed the defense move for eX-
humation of the body.
The father finally gave his con-
sent when he was convinced that
the exhumatiOn was in the in
terest of justice.
Young Kirkland, with four
other companions, is charged with
criminally assaulting the braves
girl at the height of the liquor
orgy.
