ARMY PLAN LINKED
TO B. E. F. EVICTION
Norris Declares Transferred Troops
May Be Used to Guard
Capital.

During debate in the Senate today
over plans for a transfer of troops
from Texas to Kentucky, brief refer
ences were made indirectly to the evic-
tion Of the bonus army from WASH
tngtcn.
While Senator Connally, Democrat,
Tex.s, was protesting against the re-
noval of troops from Fort Russell in
his State, contending they are needed
there to protect the border, Senator
Norris, Republican, Nebraska, inter-
rupted to ask Connally if the thought
had occurred to him that the ultimate
destination of the troops might be
Washington.
Senator Norris said he had been
thinking that they might not be left
in Kentucky, "but ultimately they will
bring them on to the District of Co.
Iumbia and protect the great Capital
against dissatisfied citizens who come
from Congress"
The debate also branched off into
discussion of application of the econ
ony program to military appropriations,
in which Senator McKellar, Democrat,
Tennessee, told the Senate he Is con-
sidering renewing at this session his
motion for a 10 per cent cut on the
War Department appropriation bill.
At the last session McKellar inaugu-
rated a movement for a 10 per cent
cut on all the appropriation bills COM
ing over from the House, but after the
motion had been adopted on some of
the earlier bills, he said, 1t was beaten
in the case of military appropriations.
Later in the day Senator McKellar
said that he was not planning to revive
the 10 per cent motion as general
policy and that in the case OF military
and naval funds his course of action
would depend on how much is cut from
these bills before they reach the Senate.

ROOSEVELT CHOICE
OF RA|NEY DOUBTED
President-eIect Expected to
Avoid Interference in
Speaker Race.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The speakerShip race in the House
was stirred today by published report
that President-elect Roosevelt was ia
vorable to Representative Rainey of
Illinois, the Democratic floor leader, as
successor to Speaker Garner.
Rainey declined to be quoted directly,
but said he had received letter from
James A. Farley, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, saying
Gov. Roosevelt was maintaining
1t was also learned that other can
didateS, including Representative Nc
Duffie of Alabama, the Democratic
whip, and Representative Bryns of
Tennessee. chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee, had received friendly
letters stating that Gov. Roosevelt like
Speaker Garner. plans to take no hand
in the organization of the next House.
Doubts Interference.
In commenting on the story, Repre-
sentative Byrns said:
i am very certain that Gov. Roose-
velt Is not going to take any part di-
rectly or indirectly In the organization
of the next House. I feel sure that
every candidate and his friends have
received assurances to that effect.
Il rather deplore the effort to in
volve the Governor in a matter of this
kind at the beginning of his admins
tration. But I am confident that Mr..
Roosevelt Is too wise to take a hand
in the race"
The story credited Representative
SABBATH, Democrat, of Illinois, with CIV
ing the information about Roosevelt
and Rainey. SABBATH has been away
from Washington for several days.
Representative O'Connor of New
York, a potential candidate Tor the
speakership, issued statement today
saying: @A
Illinois seems to develop certain
statesmen like Mr.. (Fred) Britten CRe-
publican) and Mr.. SABBATH, whose quo
tations of Presidents are almost as ac-
curate as the Treasurys estimates of
the deficit"
Refers to Beer Prediction.
O'Connor referred to Britten's state
ment, after visit to the White House,
that President Hoover would not veto
beer bill.
Later McDuf1e, who was described in
the article as a conservative and not
in line with the Roosevelt policies, is
sued statement.
IF Gov. Roosevelt has written or
said he has not Endorsed any candidate
in the speakership contest I am in no
wise surprised" he said.
mo candidate for that high Office
could expect Mr.. Roosevelt to under
take to dictate the election of the next
Speaker. As one candidate for the
speakership, I would not be the source
of such embarrassment to him.

we might have been able to do for the
Capting together. but he-he wouldn't
hear of it. Said he wouldn't have
woman servants about his house. In
fact, sir, things were rather at dead
lock when this South African lady
came along and wanted to take Sitta-

to do for him every day, and I don't
mind telling you. sir, that l had been
hoping that by the end of the Winter
the Capting would have come round to
the idea; and that me and Rebecca
would go back to Sittaford with him.
| Why, he would never even know she
| was in the house. She would keep to
the kitchen, and she would manage so
that he would never meet her on the
stairs
Have you any idea what lay behind
Capt. Trevelyan's dislike of women?"
| Nothing to it, sir Just an 'abit, sir,
that's all. 1 have seen many a gentle
man like it before. If you ask me, it's

Capt. Trevelyan was not married."

his sister at Exeter"
do you know her name?"
Gardner, think, sir, but wouldn't
be sure
You don't know her address?"
I'm afraid I don't, sir"
We'll, doubtless we shall come across
that in looking through Capt Trevel-
vans papers. Now, Evans, what were
you yourself doing from o'clock on
wards yesterday afternoon?"
I was at home sir"
Where's home?"

 Adjustment of the dispute over nance loans was practically all final adjournment, possible tonight. $ Congressmen were anxious to get away after conferees spent all yesterday reaching disagreement on the publicity issue.
 The senate bill would restrict publicity to unemployment relief loans. The house bill would re- quire publication of all future loans, including those to banks and other financial institutions.
 Senators heard informally that President Hoover would again veto the relief bill if publicity for all loans were stipulated. He vetoed the bill last Monday because of a provision for loans to individuals.

Boston, July 15.-(UP)-James F. Convey, who escaped with three fellow convicts from the Rutland prison camp July 3, was recognized and arrested in busy Scollary Square here yesterday. Convey was the only prisoner still at large. Two patrolmen made the arrest after their attention had been attracted to the striped prison shirt he wore.

x New Haven, Conn, July 15.- GOnnecticuts crops-just entering f1le "critical growing period"- htsre menaced today by a severe Wrought.
 Officials of the Connecticut Agri- Gu1tural Station reported unusual lack of rain had not only injured the crops and retarded growth but had weakened corn and other nlants so that diseases, such as Stewart's disease, have gained 1ieadway.

reparations settlement, cutting Germany's payment from more than $S,00O,00 to something over $7O0, 100000, until they reached a debt settlement with the United States.
 The real subject of the Anglo French accord, in the view of an informed diplomatic authority, is not war debts but Europe's danger ous political problems. He sum- marized the situation leading to the agreement as follows:
 France, having lagreed to surren- render German reparations, wanted assurance that the Reich would not successfully press it's advan- tage by a campaign to throw off its military shackles, regain the Po- fish corridor, or otherwise upset the European status quo estab- lished by the Versailles treaty. In recent years Britain has been dip lomatically close to Germany. Fur ther, the established British policy has been to wield the "balance of power" on the continent-to play close to one nation, then another, as suited British advantage.
 France apparently feared that Britain at some future time might unexpectedly support Germany's plea for treaty revision, and, by a surprise diplomatic attack, place Paris at a disadvantage.
 Now, under the Anglo French agreement, London promises to exchange views" with complete candor" concerning matters ''simi- lar in origin" to the one so hap oily settled at Lausanne"
 Great Britain pledged itself to. no definite course of action on re-' vision. But it did promise to cons suit with France before forming a policy. And that, in view of observers here, was a great boon to the French.

 Shell knew the usual rule, so red-faced and angry in his seat permitted some republicans to leave Capitol Hill. The surprise vote caught him far outnumb bered. So Garner and Majority Leader Rainey jammed through a resolp- ton instructing house conferees to insist on the full publicity provis- ion. Shell muttered, gesticulated, grew redder of face as the vote progressed. He, also. had heard Mir Hoover would veto the bill to pre- vent publicity on bank loans.
