of the dead prisoner have gath
cred information to show that
Wood did not die of burns. They
said they will ask that the grand
jury order the body exhumed.

Ways and Means Committee be-
fore Congress meets so as to
frame beer bill.

be considered during the first
three days of the December Ses-

passage of a bill before the House

ing that it might as well pass the
measure in the short session as

Government declines to grant
suspension of the payment,
members of the chamber de-
clared today.
President-elect Franklin D.

Hoover will hold their con-

Tuesday afternoon.
This date was arranged shortly
after noon when Mr.. RooSevelti
telephoned the White House
from Albany.
He told Mr.. Hoover he will

Warm Springs, Ca, and would

Mr.. Roosevelt said he would
arrive at $3.50 p. m.

two leading men was initiated by

asking to be relieved of paying the
December IS installments on their
debts, amounting to approx.
mately $125, 100000.
Twenty-four hours of renewed
contact with Congressional opin.
ion has apparently convinced
Hoover that it is futile to ask Con-,
gress to postpone the payments.
Without regard to party or fac.
ton, everyone on Capitol Hill
seems positively and in some cases
eXplosively, against it.
Roosevelt Opposes
Mr.. Roosevelt has already
plainly indicated that he con-
siders the question of postpone

existing Administration.
Under these circumstances there
there is little left for the Hoover
administration to do but to po-
litely inform the European debtors
that they are expected to meet
their obligations on December Is
and then pass the whole contro-
versial issue on to the new ad-

What Mr.. Hoover will propose
to Congress on the debts, if spef
