met, with its own minister instead of

force and that elections be held to
choose a new President as soon as con-
venient.

RELIEF MEASURE
BEFORE SENATE
ST. 900, ,OoO,OO0 Democratic
Bill Debated Struggle Is
Anticipated.

Unemployment relief swung back
into the Senate spotlight today with the
beginning Of debate on the $4,000, 900 600
Democratic relief bill.
Immediately after voting down the
bonus bill last night the Senate made
pending business the Wagner measure,
containing provision for s5o0,0OO, 900
for public works.
1t is the general opinion on Capitol
Hill that the enactment Of any relief
legislation this session depends largely
upon what action the Senate takes on
this measure.
1t was reported earlier in the week
by the Senate Banking Committee as a
substitute for the Garner bill passed by
by the House, so as to make possible @
compromise in conference. The House
has steadily refused to consider the Sen
ate's $500 100000 emergency bill for re-
lief loans to States until the Garner bill
is expedited.
Because of the administrators oppo-
sition to public works bond issues at
this time, a feature Of the Wagner
measure, a severe struggle is expected
over the legislation.
Senator Wagner opened the fight for
the measure. He said the Labor De-
partment estimated that mere than
100000 families are now "eating the
bread of charity" in cities in this coun-
try having a total of less than one
third of the Nations population.
They are victims of national dis
aster," Wagner said, "and their plight
constitutes a national problem that falls
with equal responsibility On local. State
and national governments.
In addition to the bend issue the
Wagner bill provides for increasing the
borrowing power of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation by $1,500,000 900
for construction loans of elf-liquidat-
ing nature.

been made out to another person to
conceal the fact that William Fox, for
mer theater operator. had been dealing
in his own stock on the New York Ex-
change was given the Senate Banking
Committee today by P. j. Higgins, a
partner in NJ. J. Meehan & Co.
Meanwhile, Senator Carey, Repub-
lican, of Wyoming, told the committee
that If Fox does not appear Monday
for questioning he will move that the
committee question him in the hotel
room where the theater man is reported
i'll. He has failed to appear for three
days in succession.
Earlier, Bradford Ellsworth, inde-
pendent operator and pool manager,
told the committee he had paid S24,000
to newspaper men for publicity in order
to put Fox Theaters stock before the
public"
Fox's market activities are a part of
the extensive findings of the committee
that have led it to decide to ask the
Senate to extend the investigation
through the next term Of Congress.
Found Much Evidence.
Members of the committee say they
have unearthed 10 times as much evi-
dence as can be reported during the
short remainder of this session.
The new pan, unanimously ap-
proved. is to have the crew of expert
,,,y, A
Gray, amaSS material during the Sum-
mer. The committee would not resume
hearings until Fall, but would con-
tinue them on toward the March 4 ad-
journment date of this Congress
At the hearing today Gray showed
Higgins copy of the check which
was made out to the witness but in
dorsed to Fox.
Under Gray's questioning Higgins
acknowledged the check was in pay
ment of FoX's interest in a pool.
The witness testified the check was
made out to himself for the purpose
Of "concealing from the clerical force
the fact that Mr.. Fox was dealing in
this stock"
Means Of Hiding Pool.
Gray asserted it was means of con-
ceal1ng from the puDllc as well as tne
clerical force the fact that MI. Fox
was in short pool in his own stock. y
While questioning Higgins, Gray said
in the case of John J. Raskob chairman
of the Democratic National Committee,
who, it has been testified, also partici-
pated in Fox pool, there was no need
Of a check because he had another
account and it was simply transferred
ovor tn that other arcolInt
why all the concealment?" Gray ex-
claimed
Walter Best, an employe Of NJ j
Meehan & Co., said "a man named Jack
G. Leo" loaned the account 125,00O
shares in December, 1928, and January
1929.
Gray described Leo as a brother-in-
law of Fox and remarked that when the
Fox holdings were finally disposed OF to
Harley Clark, Leo received a $500,00C
bonus for no apparent reason.

to the committee earlier, an attorney for

as well as the matter about sight con-

Washington and Pittsburgh. it was
disclosed, are the only two out OF twenty
of the largest cities which make no pro-
visions for such classes.
Mrs. Mary Hickey, chairman of the
Subcommittee on Chronic and Conva-

CHILDREN'S BAND
HAS 225 MEMBERS
Music Interest Credited for De.
velopment of Fox Theater
Organization.

The Military Band for Children,
which the Fox Theater is sponsoring,
has grown to a membership of 225,
thanks to a wide juvenile enthusiasm
for musical expression.
Possibly some of the enthusiasm may
be attributed to the shining new uni
| forms, which the management has just
purchased but most of it springs from
real interest in instrumental music.
Under the leadership of Capt. j. B.
Mckenzie, who flies from his home in
| Newark to conduct Saturday morning
rehearsals, the children are rounding
into shape as an orchestra of consider
able promise.
The basic idea behind the band is to
afford children a free opportunity of
developing their musical talent under
competent instructor.
Starting with a membership of a
dozen four months ago, the band had
progressed enough in two months to
win an award in the recent civic Hal
loween celebration in competition with
18 other bands, many of which had
been organized for years.
Some promising young musicians,
whose ages range from 7 to II years,
are Shirley LaZerus 9 years old, Of 1906
Eastern avenue northeast. who plays
the Saxophone. So does Claudine Moss,
16 years old, of Clarendon, Va, and
Norma Harvey, 12-year-old junior high
school student, Of 2209 Twelfth street
northeast.
Fifteen-year-old Evelyn Carey, Of So
L street, is learning skill on the cornet.
and Willett Harman, 16 years old, of
40 v street, has mastered the clarinet.
Among out-of-town members who
| attend every practice, rain or shine, are
Minerva Brake, 16 years old, Of Rock
vile, Md, and Virginia Thomas, IA
years old, of GaitherSburg, Md.
Virtually every important instrument
is included in the band, ranging from
snare drums to giant tubas, flutes,
oboes, trombones and many others.
