hours after United States Attorney Leo
A: Rover placed the last Government
witness on the stand.
After the defense had rested, Justice

he would hear their arguments on in
structions to be given the jury today.
These instructions are an explanation
by the court of the questions of law in

Before adjournment yesterday two
motions of Defense Attorney T. Morris
Wampler were overruled. One motion
sought to have the court compel the
prosecution to choose between two
counts n the indictment charging en-
bezzlement of the $104OO0 and two
counts charging larceny of this sum.
The second motion was for a directed
verdict OF acquittal on all four counts.
Justice Proctor took under advise
ment another motion for a directed YER
dict Of acquittal on the count charging
Means with embezzlement of the $4,000,
which was given him for expenses after
the 100000 ransom had been turned
over to him by Mrs. Mclean. The de-

HOOVER T0FORECO
WEEK END REST
Watches Chicago Progress
and Action on Home
Loans Bill.

President Hoover today turned his at
tention to the preliminaries incident to
the opening of the Republican National
Convention In Chicago Tuesday. He
was so engrossed in this work that it
Is thought likely he will forego a week
end holiday at his Rapidan camp.
Besides being in long distance tele-
phone conversation with administration
representatives already on the scene in
Chicago, the President conferred at
length with Secretary Of the Treasury
Mills and Secretary of War Hurley, both
OF whom will take an active part in the
convention.
Wet Plank Discussed.
Secretary Mills will be the represent
atlye OF the New York delegation on
the all-important Resolutions Commit
tee, which will draft the so-called wet
plank for the platform. 1t is under
stood that during his talk with the
President this morning the subject of
the wet plank was the principal one
discussed
Mr.. Mills declined to say whether
he was carrying any last word from
the President to Chicago when he left
the Presidents Office. He did DENY
group Of the New York delegation that
he was hand-picked to represent the
administration on the Resolutions Com
mittee. He said he would leave Wash
ington at pm for the convention city
Secretary Hurley admitted his talk
with the President this morning was
confined principally to matters relating
to the convention He said advices re-
ceived by the President from Chicago
indicate the Resolutions Committee will
be so successful in handling the pro-
hibition subject that there is not much
likelihood Of the question being car
ried to the floor with the possibility
Of an open fight.
Most Of Cabinet to Attend.
With the exception of Attorney Cen
eral Mitchell, who Is a Democrat. and
Secretary Of the Navy Adams. all of
the Presidents cabinet will be in at
tendance at the convention. Besides
this, Walter H. Newton, the Presidents S
so-called political secretary, and Law
renee Richey, Mr.. Hoover'S confidential
secretary, will be on hand.
Richey left washington yesterday and
it is understood he will personally keep
the President posted as to the progress
of affairs both during the preliminaries
in Chicago and throughout the sessions
of the convention.
Besides remaining in Washington this
week end to keep in touch with his rep
resentatives in Chicago, Mr. Hoover, too,
is particularly interested in today's ses-
sions of the Senate and the House. In
the latter the home loan bank bill,
which he is so anxious to have enacted,
will come up for discussion and probably
a vote today. The President has made
few engagements for the day.

ELY SCORES CLAIMS

Smith Backer Says Roosevelt Is
Far From Two-thirds Vote
Necessary for Victory.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 11.-Gov. Joseph B
Ely OF Massachusetts, who will nomi-
nate Alfred E. Smith for President at
the Democratic National Convention
last night took exception to a state
ment by James A. Farley that Gov
Roosevelt Of New York would be NOM
mated on the first ballot of the con-
vention.
1T Is disquieting," Ely said, "tc
read outlandish assertions to
the effect that after the roll has been
called for the first ballot in Chicago
there will be an undignified scramble
for places on the band wagon before
announcement of the first vote is made
by the chairman
Gov. Roosevelt, Ely said, was far re-
moved from having the two-thirds
vote necessary to nominate him and
the claim of his managers that "a
majority of delegates are marching
under his banner is without founda-
ton in fact"
Massachusetts confidently expects
to see the Democratic convention re.
tect Mr.. Roosevelt and nominate ex-
Gov. Alfred E. Smith," he concluded

WAR TIME COUNCIL
REVIVAL REFUSED
President, Replying to Re.
quest of Citizens, Sees
No Practical Need.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite the urging of a notable list
OF citizens, President Hoover has nc
intention Of re-establishing the war
time Council Of National Defense, be-
hevlng 1t would serve no practical pur-
pose
he made his attitude emphatic late
Yesterday by making public his mega
i've reply to a letter suggesting such
action. This letter was signed by 86
distinguished civilians and presented
at the White House during the after
noon by Gen. Albert L. Cox Of Raleigh
N. G., chairman of the American Le-
glons Defense Committee.
Many Distinguished Signers.
Edsel Ford, August Heckscher, John
Hayes Hammond. William Green
Comdr. Stevens Of the Legion, Clark
Howell, the Atlanta publisher, and a
long list of bankers, railroad executives
lndustrialiSts and labor leaders were
the signers. Said President Hoover in
the reply letter addressed to Cox
>, 1t Is my impression that but few OF
the gentlemen are familiar with the law
bearing on this subject. am
most desirous Of receiving from yourself
and your able associates suggestions of
any specific action that might be taken
py Government or private agencies
which would improve the situation. Al
though I do not find myself in accord
with your immediate proposal Of an
other committee, I believe that If the
signatorieS were fully informed as to
the present effective organization they
would agree with me-"
Formed for War PURPOSES.
He referred back to an earlier state
ment which he had allowed the press
to use indirectly. In this he pointed
out that the council was formed for
war purposes though the language en-
ployed in creating 1t might be sub
verted into use for purposes of the gen.
eral welfare; that the body was strict
ly advisory and that the composition
OF the present cabinet, Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, Federal Reserve
Board. Farm Board and Farm Loan
Board and other linked advisory units
furnished the administration with the
most effective economic council pos
sible. Mr.. Hoover also disclosed that
he had canvassed the members of the
wartime board on the possibilities and
received thoroughly negative response.
From a statement used in obtaining
signatures to the letter, it was indicated
the planners did not consider their
project establishment of super
cabinet or dictatorship. 1t was argued
merely that the council would quiet
alarm and would "be the most effective
instrument possible for directing and
unifying public opinion on the great
problems which confront U.S."

SENATE APPROVES
$8,550,000 D. c. FUND
ASKED BY BINGHAM
Continued From First Page)

members Of the House stated in the
newspapers that at later opportunity
they would advocate reducing the figure
to $4,000 900, and that this year they
brought the District bill out with the
contribution down to $6,500,000.
Senator Bingham said the Senate
subcommittee was inclined to follow
the recommendation Of the Bureau of
Efficiency, which decided that the Fed
eral share toward District expenses
should be something over $10,000,000
but in view Of the desire for economy
this year. 1t was finally determined to
apply the 10 per cent cut to the cur
rent lump sum for the present year
hoping it might go back to the higher
figure in future.
Most Prosperous City.
Senator King said the earlier days
referred to by Chairman Bingham are
not proper basis for determining the
question. He argued that Washington
because Of the amount the United States
spends here on Federal buildings and
in other ways, makes Washington the
most prosperous city in the United
States.
Senator McKellar joined in that
argument and contended, in addition
that the United States does not con-
tribute toward the city taxes of other
cities in which it owns Federal buildings
He said he wanted to be liberal to the
National Capital. but thought the peo-
pie here asked too much
Senator King ended the discussion by
declaring that because the United
States Government is here is no reason
why it should make what he regarded as
too large contribution toward the city
expenses.
The Senate quickly ratified a numbe,
OF other amendments on the first few
pages of the bill, with indications tina,
it would complete the local measure
during the day.
Item Debated.
Senator Blaine. Republican, Of Wis
consin, debated the item inserted by
the Senate Committee, appropriatina
100000 for emergency relief work, to
be spent by the District authorities for
the relief of residents of Washington
Senator Blaine endeavored to show
that, since the Federal Government
contributes. through the Federal con-
tributlon, % per cent of all District ex-
penses, this relief item is a recognition
Of some responsibility on the Federal
Government to assist generally in un-
employment relief.
Senator Bingham did not agree that
such an obligation does exist on the
Federal Government He said he does
recognize an obligation on the part of
the Federal Government to bear an
adequate share Of the expenses of the
National Capital as whole. He said
Blaine's argument would apply If the
Federal Government was still con-
tributing on percentage basis toward
District expenses. In such circum-
stances, Bingham said. every item added
ito the bill would represent certain
percentage from the United States.
Under the lump sum policy, Bingham
pointed cut, the Federal Government
will be paying actually less next year
than at present, even though this relief
item be added to the bill.
