SELF DEFENSE,
DODSON PLEA

MADISON COURT HOUSE,
Va, March 29.-Claiming that FL
lis Dodson, 32-year-old mountain
eer, was called names you
wouldn't call a dog" and was be-
set by several assailants on the
night of February 5 when Brooks
Jenkins was murdered, the de-
fense at the trial today argued
that Dodson shot in self-defenSe.
Defense Attorney BURNETT Mil
Ier, jr., declared the defense
would attempt to prove that Jen-
kinS was an unlimited guest at a
dance at the Dodson home and
that he had made threats be-
fore he came that if "he could
not have a good time, nobody
else would"
1t was admitted by both the
defense and Commonwealth At
torney Norman G. Payne that
DodSon and Jenkins had engaged
in an argument at Dodson'S
home. The prosecution, however,
asserted it would attempt to
prove Jenkins was shot while at
tempting to make peace.
Miller declared DodSon was
seeking peace when jenkins
turned on him and fired. Mrs.
Jenkins, widow of the murdered
man and mother of two sets of
twins, was the first to take the
stand for the prosecution. =

HOUSE WILL
BALANCE
BUDGET
Pledges Support to Garner
Who Takes Floor for
Patriotic Address

In a cheering mass the
House of Representatives rose
today and pledged Speaker
John n. Garner that it will
vote taxes to balance the
Federal budget and thus pre-
serve the credit of the Govern
ment at home and abroad.
More than 90 per cent of the
members, both Democrats and Re
publicans, rose to their feet when
the Speaker put the question dur
ing a dramatic appeal to the
patriotism of members.
Said Garner, observing the DEM
onStration:
"That ought to restore to the
American people confidence in
our country. We have differ
ences in our hearts, but we are
patriotic"
The House, unruly and disor-
ganized for days, was transformed
by the unprecedented appeal Of
the Speaker into an audience not
unlike those seen in religious SER
vices.
Not Unlike Church
The Speakers quiet, fervid ap-
peal was punctuated by members
called out That's right" eyes,
sir" not unlike ! the "amens"
heard in churches.
AS the Speaker ended his
speech with an appeal to mem
bers to bury political differences
in an effort to save the country
from disaster, almost the entire
House rose and acclaimed him.
Galleries were crowded with
spectators. Tucked away in an
inconSpicuous seat was Mrs.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth, whose
husband ruled the House as
Speaker before his death and
who was a bosom friend of
Garner.
Asked to Stand Up
Outlining the financial situa-
ton of the nation Garner grad
ually moved to this climax. He
said:
"Mr. Chairman, I want to do
something unusual, not accord
ing to the rules. 1 want to
ask every man in this House
who will agree to vote taxes
to balance the budget to stand
up"
Fewer than 20 bitter enderS re-
manned in their seats.
Before Garner took the Floor
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee reported out substitute
taxes to replace the $685., 1000, 900
stricken out of the bill when the
sales tax was defeated.
He asked the House to bury

"A detailed story of the detec-
tion, trial and conviction of Al

charge, was given the Borah

ney in Chicago.

with the fight against confirma-
ton of Federal Judge James H.

IRISH CALLED
ON To FIGHT
To DEATH
President of the Sim Fein
In Speech Sounds Note OF
Warning to Britain

DUBLIN, March 90 G.N.S.).
The people of the Irish Free
State were called upon today
to give up their lives if neces-
sary rather than surrender to
Great Britain in the coming
battle over abolition of the
oath of allegiance to the
British crown.
Republican leaders carried their
campaign to the people while the
Free State council was in session,
considering President Eamonn De
Valera's reply to London's note OF
warning.
Fight for Freedom
Brian O'Higgins, president of
the Sim Fein organization, urged
the people to continue your hard
fight for freedom" in speech at
Limerick. He said:
Follow the example of your
. comrades, who never cOmprO-
missed, and who died rather
than accept the status of Bri-
tish citizens under a treaty of
surrender"
Speaking at Athlone, M. j.
Kennedy, prominent Fianna Fail
deputy. voiced similar sentiments.
He said:
1--WE are going to win the
fight because there is no going
back to the begging alternative
of surrender which was the
headline of the past 10 years.
Ireland's Own Problem
The form of the reply to Great
Britain apparently is causing
some difficulty, though it is GER
tain it will reiterate De Valera's
stand that abolition of the oath
of allegiance and retention of the
land annuities are domestic ques-
tions to be settled by the Irish
people alone.

HOOVERRENEWS
BONUS ATTACK

President Hoover announced to-
day his unyielding opposition to
pending legislation in Congress
which would give immediate cash
payment to holders of veterans
adjusted compensation certificates
the so-called bonus.
He recalled that he had jour
neyed to Detroit last fall and
counselled against immediate
cash payment before the Ameri-
can Legion national convention,
and said he did not believe there
was a chance for the present
Patman bill to become law.
He said today:
"InfOrmaI polls of the House
of Representatives have created
apprehension in the country
that further bonus bill of
$4,000, 100000 or thereabOutS
for World War veterans will
be passed.
81 wish to state again that 1
am absolutely opposed to any
such legislation"
He added:
"Such action would undo
every effort that is being made
to reduce Government expendi-
lures and balance the budget"

With Capital Man Reported
BY Club Proprietor

The mystery surrounding
the disappearance Of Justice
Joseph F. Crater, of New
York, may be solved by Wash
ington police following re-
ceipt of information that the
missing jurist was here with a
prominent Washington club
man last June.
Washington authorities have
wired Inspector John j. O'Brien,
of New York, and the chief OF
police at Los Angeles. Crater Is
reported to be in the latter city.
Club Proprietor Informant
The information, which local
police are guarding with utmost
secrecy, came from the proprietor
of a fashionable dinner club
here. It was not learned why
authorities were not notified until
now.
The proprietor said Crater had
dinner at the restaurant with a
prominent Washington clubman
last June. 1t is not revealed how
long the jurist stayed here but
it was reported he later went to
Los Angeles with the clubman.
Gone Since August, 1880
So far, washington authorities
have not received a reply to com
munications to New York and
Los Angeles.
Justice Crater, of the Supreme
Court of New York, has been
missing since August 6, 1880, and
has been the subject Of an inter-
national search.

John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk
shipbuilder, who has taken a
leading part in negotiations
for the return of the Lind
bergh baby, kidnapped % days
ago.
Curtis said today that nego-
tions were still in progress.
Curtis was asked if this eyes
or-no" answer would come soon.
He replied:
''NO, on the contrary, the
negotiations will necessarily be

The Very Rev. H. Dobson-Pea-
cock, colleague of Curtis in the
negotiations, had not arrived
here up to midday and Curtis
said he had received no word
from him today.
Due Back Today
Dean Dobson-Peacock left the
estate of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh at Hopewell, N. j., late
yesterday afternoon after con-
ferring regarding the negoti-
ations. His destination was un-
known, although it was assumed
he would return Immediately to
Norfolk.
At the deans home here, Mrs.
Dobson- Peacock said she had re-
ceived a telegram from her hus-
band saying he planned to fly
here and would arrive at the
Naval Airport this afternoon.
Curtis said he would probably
have conference with the dean
after his arrival here and with
Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage,
retired. the third member of the
negotiating trio.
Curtis talked at length with
this reporter in his shipbuilding
shop in the Atlantic City section
of Norfolk.

He was quite affable and looked
less tired than he had for days.

BATTLE FACES.
SURTAX RISE |

A drive by the Democratic
leadership against the wartime
income surtax rates put in the
Crisp bill by the anti-sales tax
forces may be made before a
final vote on the measure in the
House.
Representative Rainey CD of
Illinois, majority leader, an
nounced a separate vote will be
demanded on the Swing amend
ment which placed a maximum
surtax ranging from so per cent
to IS per cent on incomes from
100000 to $5,000,000.
Rainey presented a report of
L. H. Parker, chief of staff of
the Joint Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation, showing that
income taxes we're eXacted in %
States in addition to the Federal
income taxes. The report said:
"If a man lives in one of
these average States and hap
pens to have an income over
$5,OOO,OOO, he will pay II cents
in income tax out of every
dollar he makes in excess of
that amount, leaving him only
2S cents on his earned dollar"
Wisconsin was chosen as an ex-
ample OF how citizens might be
affected by the wartime Federal
SurtaXeS. A person having an in
come of $5,0O0,00O in that State
would pay to the Federal Govern
ment 70 cents on the dollar, and
is cents to the State, a total tax
of 81 cents on every dollar.

NEW YORK, March 90 Q.N.SJ.
Capt. Y. Nagoya, Japanese avia-
tor, was killed today when his
plane, being groomed for a trans
pacific flight, crashed into the
water near Floyd Bennett Airport
on Barren Island.
Captain Nagoya had taken off
in his monoplane for a test
flight to the Bellanca factory in
New Castle, Del. He had at
tained an altitude of about 200
feet when the plane went into a
nose dive and crashed into a
creek about half-mile north of
the airport. Members of the air
port personnel hurried to the
wreck. The flier was dead when
they got him out of the water.
