 Benjamin and the nine members of his committee reached the out side of the senate chamber a few minutes before congress convened.

 The election on the senate wing of the capital came after Herbert Benjamin, leader of the marchers, tried to push his way itno the sem ate chamber against the orders of attendants who told him he could not enter.
 A similar scene was enacted on the house wing but in that case the committee men were without the fiery leadership of Benjamin and did not put up the resistance he offered.
 Outside, the main body of the /, machers, whose numbers had been swelled to about 1900 by over | night arrivals, awaited the action | of their committee men but made no effort to enter the capitol. They were hemmed in on all sides by police.
 The officers carried tear-gas guns and in crevices of the capitol ma. chine guns were nested.

Paris, Dec 7-(UP)--The sharp drop in the pound sterling since the Bank of England abandoned the gold standard on September 2l has brought loss of 2,400,000,00O francs ($93,940,000 to the Bank oi France.
 Financial authorities say the Bank of France had 7,800,000,0OO francs in preslump pounds when the British decided to abandon the gold standard. This vast amount Is now being carried at 124 francs to the pound or par for sterling Sterling today was quoted about 66 per cent of par. It closed al 82 3-4 franch to the pound.
 The Bank of France capital is only 182,500,O00 francs ($7,135,- 750). The loss in sterling holdings Is more than 13 times the capital.
 The financial newspaper Cote de La Brouse ct La Banque recent- ly revealed this condition and said negotiations were proceeding be- tween the ministry of finance and the Bank of France on the delicate problem of reimbursing the bank for the huge loss.
 This loss was taken because the government requested the bank to desist from selling its vast sterling holdings, 1t was said. The govern ment feared the effect of selling on the pound.
 It was considered likely the gov ernment would give the Bank of France a bond redeemable in 1945 compensating the bank for the losses incurred in sterling up to the time the pound Is stabilized.
 Such agreement, 1t was said, must be submitted to parliament, and 1t was expected the problem would come up and the bill passed before the Christmas recess.
 The reason for action before the end of the year Is that the loss now ignored by the bank which carries its sterling holdings at par

and made the agreement merely for the purpose of getting the plaintiffs property and money in her hands, the suit alleges. He further charges that for some years following the transfer he provided a home for his wife and expended large sums for the maintenance of her properties but at no time did she cooperate or aid him in the ac- ompllshment of the agreement. The papers state that in 1929 the defendant deserted the plaintiff and went to live with one George W. Chapman as his housekeeper. The suit for divorce against him was instituted in the common pleas court the first Tuesday of Septem- Der. 1881, and is pending now in the Litchfield superior court, the papers allege.

 Washington, Dec 7-(UP)--Gov- ernment officials were interested today in United Press dispatches from Paris relative to the loss by the Bank of France of approxi- mately $100,000,0 due to shrink age in value of the banks deposits in British pounds In London. Officials here have had some knowledge of the situation as it affected the Bank of France. One official said that it was the un- derstanding here that the loss to the Bank of France was close to $200, 100000.
 "As a matter of history" one of- flcial said, United States treasury department experts, while having no official information to go on, were convinced almost week ahead of the event the British were going to be compelled to go off the gold standard.
 "An investigation was made then and it was ascertained that at that time American sterlinr balances in London were about $42,000, 900. I do not know what American ster- ling balances were in London the day Great Britain abandoned the gold standard but the sum was ap- proximately this amount in my judgment"

Of Alfred Lingle, Tribune crime reporter
and was formally sentenced by Judge
Joseph SABBATH today to Il years In

Brothers attorneys were given so days

A new set OF attorneys had argued
that the punishment set by the Brothers
jury, the nghtest possible under Illinois
statutes, was "travesty on justice,
and indicated the jurors themselves were
not sure OF Brothers guilt.
New Evidence Claimed.
New witnesses had been found to

neys said, and the defendant, bcause OF
Improper advice by his former attor-
neys" had not taken the stand. They
promised that Brothers would testify II

had stated that he received fair trial
Judge Cabath turned to comment upon
the jurors in the case.
THE jury selected to hear the evil
dence," he said, was composed of men
far above the average. They saw the
witnesses and heard the evidence. The
law has given them the power not only
to pass upon the weight of the evidence
but in this case to fix penalty as we'll
