was explained that yesterdays
parade and demonstration were
all that had been expected and
that another demonstration at
the Capitol would probably be
staged before the week ends.
Commander Waters, who flew
to New York yesterday to obtain
food and to make appea. at thea
ters and over the radio, returned
last night with $500 pounds of
meat. Because the veterans had
been subsisting on porridge, weak
soup and coffee, late and extra
dinner was served and all the
meat consumed.
Broadcast Cancelled
Waters, upon returning an
nounced that his scheduled ap-
pearance in New York theaters
and over the air had been sud-
denly cancelled. He said:
"They gave no reason, but /
expect it is opposition to the
bonus"
The commander-in-chief was
very happy over the fact that his
wife had arrived. Mrs. Waters
reached Washington at 6 a. m.
from their Portland, Ore, home,
and although greeted by a delega-
ton from B. E. F. headquarters,
she did not see her husband until
three hours later. Mrs. Waters is
residing temporarily at 6l3 Penn
sylvania Ave. N. w.
Still Drilling
Despite the rain, the veterans
went through their regular drill
today.
The camp at Anacostia, which
several weeks ago was a quag'
mire, resisted the rain of last
night, and although the footing
was slippery there was no SEM
blance of the previous mire.
Dictator" Opposed
Foulkrod announced at the Cap
itol yesterday that he was opposed
to any dictatorship of the B. E. F
While he did not mention any
names, 1t was clear that he was
referring to the iron hand
which Waters is attempting to
WELD over the veterans.
Foulkrod is said to be backed
by Mike Thomas, depoSed com.
mander of Camp AnacoStia, and
other diSSenterS.

RELIEF BATTLE
ON AGAIN At
WHITE HOUSE
Hoover and Garner Come to
Grips as Renewed Farley
Of Leaders Is Held

The newly nominated Re-
publican and Democratic ma
tional tickets came to grips to-
day in a White House setting.
President Hoover assembled
a special congressional sub
committee in his office this
morning in a fjnal effort to
force acceptance of nis terms
in the pending So, 100000
relief bill.
Outstanding among the delega'
ton from Capitol Hill was
Speaker John N. Garner OF
Texas, Democratic vice preSiden-
tial nominee, who Is co-author
with Senator Robert p. Wagner
CD New York Of the measure
which Mr.. Hoover finds objec-
tionable in its present form.
Compromise or Veto
Failure to reach a compromise
today will result in a presiden-
tial veto of the bill.
AS leaders admit q veto could
not be overridden, stalemate in
the White House conference will
mean indefinite prolongation Of
the current session of Congress.
Judging from the temper Of
Dooo ooro f;o ,,oaroh horc foll0vuinC q n
Intellectual preliminary meeting
at the executive offices last night,
considerable missionary work
loomed as necessary this morning
to bring about a harmonizing Of
views.
The President faced four Demo
Gratis, while two Republicans only
were present to give him support.
Participants in Farley
Those present, in addition to
Garner and Wagner, were Senator
Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas,
Democratic floor leader of the
Senate; Senator Peter Norbeck
(R.) of South Dakota, Repre-
sentative Bertrand Smell of New
York, Republican floor leader Of
the House, and Representative
Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, Demo
cratic House leader.
President Hoover is objecting to
three principal items of the bill.
He opposes the 1926, ,000 900
carried for Federal public works
and road construction on the
ground it is pork barrel legiS-
lation."
Individual Loans Opposed
The provision for 5000, ,OOO, 900
for direct relief loans to States
met with his disapproval because
the loans would be ratioed accord
ing to population rather than
! actual need.

LAUSANNE, July 6 UN.S0.
President Hoover may be asked to
arbitrate the tangled reparations
problem.
Despairing Of bringing Chan
cellor Franz Won Papen, Of Ger
man, and Premier Edouard Her
riot of France together in a final
agreement, Prime Minister j.
Ramsay Macdonald Of Britain is
seriously considering leaving the
whole question open to arbitra-
ton.
President Hoover is generally
favored for the post of mediator,
owing to the traditional position
of the United States as Arbitrator
in international disputes.
There is some question, how
ever, as to whether President
Hoover would accept the task
owing to the complications in
volved in the war debt question.

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, February g.
J. Hubert Stevens of Lake Placid, driver
of the first American team in the two
man bobsled races of the Winter Olym-
pics, set new record for the Mount Van
Hoevenberg bobsled run today when ne
covered the course in 2:04:27.
Stevens bettered the mark made
earlier in the day by Reto Capadrutt
driver of the Switzerland second team
who broke Stevens previous record OF
2:09 made last year.
Capadrutts first run, which held the
record momentarily, was made IN
2:05.88.
The largest crowd the third Winter
OlympicS has thus far attracted lined
the course and roared its approval as
Stevens swept around the hairpin and
Zig-zag turns of the ile-and-one-half
course at breakneck speed.
The record was made on q course
deemed slow when the trial runs
were made.
Capadrutt, youngest driver ever to
make an Olympic run, also was wildly
acclaimed as he manipulated his white
Swiss rope sled around the treacherouS
curves with little brake in the teEiflC
speed on the straightaway.
The timing was done by an electri-
cal device.
The second American team, of which
John R. Heaton was driver, was il
third place when the total time for tbs
two runs was tabulated. The first Ger
man team was fourth, the Rumaniar
fifth. The Austrian team made the
slowest total time of all, 4:45.65 for the
