TAYLORvILLE, Ill, Oct, IA
Behind cordons of soldiers, sep
arate military and civil inquiries
into the Staying of a mine picket by
national guardsman began today
while this war-torn coal town wait
ed in ominous quiet for the YER
diets.
At the state military barracks. a
military court questioned witnesses
to the shooting Thursday night of
Andrew Canes. As, father OF three
children. by Corporal Russell M.
Myers infantryman from Peoria.
Troopers on Patrol
At the coroners office a pre-in-
quest inquiry began over the body
of the slain striker, latest victim in
the strife that has turned the
Christian county coal fields into an
armed camp, led to shootings
charges of troopers against crowds
of men and women strikers, and di-
vided the population into hostile,
suspicious antagonists.
While the dual inquiry pro-
crossed, troopers patrolled environs
of the Peabody mines at Langley
vile and Hewittville, guarding the
diggers whom they had escorted to
the workings this morning after
driving pickets back.
Sentries walked the streets here
and in the villages near the mines,
dispensing any groups of more than
three persons.
The Staying of Canes climaxed
day of disorder in which post
man, Hollic Butterfeld was
wounded.
Charge Barn Fortress
Seven persons-including Mrs.
Annie Canes, wife Of the slain man
were injured when a truck in
which they were being "deported'
to the county line overturned.
Troopers charged barn fortress
of the strikers, dispensing them
with warning shots.
Further complicating the situa-
ton was the issuance of murder
warrants against Colonel Robert
Davis, commander of the One hun
dred thirtieth infantry, and Captain
Charles j. Meachan, his aid.

SENSES UNDUE

Pressure Brought to Railroad
Measure Results in 0p-
poSite Effect

The report of the House Dis
trict Committee on the street
railway merger bill was further
delayed today when Represen-
tative Loring Black, chairman
of the subcommittee holding
hearings on the measure, said
he had become suspicious"
of it.
Black has favored the measure
UP until the present and was
ready to report it to the full
committee without amendment,
but said that he was receiving such
requests to act Immediately and
believed he would delay the report
at least temporarily. He de-
clared:
81 was in favor of the bill
but have received telephone
calls and other communications
in such q large number recently
that it makes me suspicious
and 1 am going to investigate
little more before / take fur
ther action. / don't like to be
crowded and when people try
to rush me I wonder at their
interest,""
Black said he would not report
the measure at the meeting of
the House District Committee
next week.
The Washington times., 1932-03-11

At its regular weekly meeting
this afternoon, the Senate District
Committee was expected to dis
pose of several routine calendar
measures and probably straighten
out a temporary disagreement be-
tween the Board of District Com
missionerS and the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning CommiS-
sion concerning the closing Of USE
less streets and alleys here.
AS the hearings on the street
car merger bill have not all been
printed, and certain recently
filed briefs are yet to be studied,
no action was scheduled today on
the street car issue.
The street and alley closing bill,
as now drawn, gives the Com.
nnissioners broad and general
authority to close useless or un-
developed highways, but the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission would have virtually
a veto power over such changes.

HOUSEECONOMY.
GROUP HITS
BARRIER
Attitudes of Cabinet Members
Delays Action; Hyde and
Hines Give Testimony

The House Economy Com
mittee, created more than two
weeks ago to make rapid
recommendations for curtail-
ment Of Government activity
and abolition of useless bu-
reaus, has struck barrier that
may prove insurmountable.
Though the committee report
is due to be made next month, the
attitudes of Cabinet members are
delaying the groups investiga-
tions.
Hyde and Hines Appear
Secretary Arthur M. Hyde Of
the Department of Agriculture ap-
peared before the committee. He
admitted that as his organization
was unusually large, and though
eliminationS probably could be
made, offered no constructive sug-
gestion as to where reductions
might be begun.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, di-
rector of veterans adminiStra.
ton, also appeared before the
committee. General Hines sub
mitted suggestions that if put
into practice would result in say.
ing of, between $30,00,000 and
$50, 900, but would bring pro-
test from those interested in
veterans affairs.
Rule Extends Time
The testimony of Secretary
Hyde and General Hines is said
to be typical of statements that
are made before the committee,
and members of the committee
realize that if they attempt to re-
duce the Agriculture Department
a storm of protest will come from
the farm group in Congress.
This condition brings the CON-
mittee face to face with red tape
certain to prolong its investiga-
tions.
The House Rules Committee
yesterday submitted a rule which
would permit the economy group
to continue it's functions for the
remainder of the session and
submit its final report in the
form Of legislative proposals.
The Rules Committee was re-
quested to approve the rule after
the economy committee 2diS-
covered that it would be increaS-
ingly hampered in it's investiga-
ton.

PITTS MAY NOT.
HAVE To SERVE
EXTRA YEAR .
Prosecutors, However, Believe
Sentences Are to Run
ConSecutiVeIy

The year-and-a-day sentence
given G. Bryan Pitts doesn t
mean a thing except another
conviction on his record, ac-
cording to a District Supreme
Court justice, officials at the
courthouse and District Jail.
The only ones, apparently, who
think it means an. actual addi-
ton to the 14-year sentence he
got for conspiracy to embezzle
funds Of the F. H. Smith Com
pany, are Nugent Dodds and Neil
Burkinshaw, special prosecutors
of the Justice Department.
Guilty Of Contempt
Pitts was convicted of con-
tempt of court, in addition to
conspiracy to embezzle. It was
on the contempt charge that the
year and a day sentence was
meted out.
During the trial, special guards
heavily armed were assigned to
accompany the machine taking
Pitts to and from court, fear be-
ing expressed that he might make
desperate effort to escape.
To Unwalled Prison
However, when the former fl
nancier was taken to Lorton (an
almost unwalled PRISON. a few
days ago, no extra precautions
against escape were taken.
Since then the controversy of
whether Pitts is to be guest"
there for II years or Is years
and day has arisen.
AS the judge made no mention
Of the sentences running con-
secutively, it is held they will
run concurrently, as has been the
practice with Jail sentences.

respect to the dead in this or any
other instance when l say that my
first response to these phrases is a
malicious doubt. The death of a
great leader, in the fullness of his
years and after many illnesses, does
not create universal shock. 1t may
produce melancholy or regret; I am
afraid that often it touches people
a little less than the loss of base
ball game by their favorite team.
Shock is a physical event, and for
our minds to be affected an event
must be the unexpected and violent
collision of things which have no
relation to one another. Death, being
the natural conclusion of life and,
according to Freud, very nearly the
