Help CONGRESS,
HOOVER PLEA

Reconstruction and the termi-
nation of the period of economic
stress depends upon the ability
of Congress to balance the bud
get, President Hoover warned the
nation late yesterday in a state
ment asking the people to sup
port and not obstruct" the men,
bers of Congress now considering
the various means TO balance the
budget.
A balanced budget, he pointed
out, is the keystone of re-
covery." Further Government
economy was promised by the
Chief Executive. He expressed
confidence that Congress would
eliminate unnecessary activities.
He estimated the deficit for the
next fiscal year at $1,250 900 900,
in addition to the $2,50O,000,000 eX-
perienced in the past two years.
These deficiencies, he pointed
out, are almost wholly due to
decrease in tax receipts"
Reduction of expenses and in
creases in taxation, he observed,
are the only remedies left to the
Government to balance the bud

BANK CRY HELD.CONGRESS MAY
BAG Of WIND SIT IN SUMMER

The rebeIlious Seventy-second
Congress, contemptuous of its
leadership and split into snarling
1-.ctions, faced an uncertain fu-
ture today as its helpless leaders
strove to find means of complying
with President Hoover's insistent
demand that the budget be bal
anCed.
Not in many years has Capitol
Hill witnessed such an over
Whelming rout of the leaders as
during this week. The Demo
Gratis are nominally in control
of the House, but they can't con-
troll it. The Republicans are
nominally in control of the
Senate, but they can't control it,.
The result of this chaos may
very we'll be that Congress will
sit in Washington most of the
summer, with time out only for
the political conventions, which
are now only a matter of 10
weeks away,

POSITION
CLARIFIED

Asserting that the position Of
the Irish Free State with respect
to payment of land annuities to
Great Britain has been misunder.
stood, Minister Michael MacWhite
issued a statement today denying
his government has "repudiated"
any Contractual obligation to
Great Britain. He said:
There is on question of the
reputation of a debt or any
cOntractuaI obligation.
THE British secretary for do
miniOns u. H. ThOmaS) has
stated that the Irish Free State
was bound by the most formal
and explicit undertaking to pay
the annuitieS to Britain. Mr..
Thomas did not specify the
undertaking to which he al
luded. The Irish government is
not aware of any such under
taking.
"An act of the British legis-
lature in 1920 expressly sur
rendered the annuities to Ire
land and expressly imposed upon
Great Britain alone the Obliga-
tiOn to meet the dividends and
the general service of the land
stock debt"
That was British law when
the AngIO-Irish treaty was
signed. There is no mention of
the annuities in the treaty of
1921. and there was no suggeS-
ton at the time that the treaty
was signed that the existing
law in regard to them should
be abrOgated."

CONFESSION Of
'BLUEBEARD'
Powers Expresses No Re-
morse for Killings in
Mystery Note

MOUNDSVILLE, w. Va,
March 26 0.N.S.).-Harry F.
Powers, Quiet Dell Bluebeard,
spoke from beyond the gal
lows-arm today in a posthu-
nous confession to the mass
murders of Mrs. Dorothy
Presslcr Lemke, Mrs. Asia
Eicher and the latter's three
young children.
In the presence of newspaper
men whom he had summoned to
his office, Warden A. C. Scrog-
gins revealed the self-damning
contents of a mystery" note,
scrawled by "Slaughterhouse
Harry a short time before he
walked to the scaffold with pro-
testations of innocence fresh on
his lips.
Verifies His Guilt
The note was a succinct veri-
fiCation of a previous admission
of guilt, in the murder for which
Powers paid the death penalty
the love-racket Staying of Mrs
Lemke. credulous divorce, and
strangulation of the Park Ridge
widow and her three children, all
of whom had been lured to
Powers murder garage, at Quiet
Dell.
Between the lines of the
bizarre note could be read the
psychopathic introspection of
Powers, as he studied his strange
emotional quirks which led him
into as strange emotional prac-
tees.
Powers last note follows:
This is to certify that L
have given to my medical ad-
visor (Dr. II. J. Haynes, who
recently announced Powers had
made a full confession in
firSt-perSOn life story a true
and full written account of my
life and that l have described
all my deeds, whether good or
bad, in full, and that they are
true as described.
FELT NO REMORSE
cat no time during the com.
mitment, or after the commit
ment, of any of my deeds have
1 felt any regret or remOrse.
"On the other hand, have
had a feeling of weII-being.
II know / am not legally in
sane, but 1 know l am not nor

feCtiOnate, but at times l have
an OverpOwering urge. At these
times 1 have neither fear nor
sympathy.
81 am not this way because 1
want to be. 1 must have been
born this way"
He concluded the note with
the simple statement:
Il have told the truth"
HARRY F. POWERS"
In making the note public,
Warden Scroggins handed the
newspaper men a statement shelv-
ing all responsibility in connec-
ton with the last document
penned by Powers. This state
ment read:
"Thc appended statement for
pOSt-mOrtem release is made
public through my agency. l

'0ut-and-0ut Repeal Plank;
Fight Begins in Earnest
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

STADIUM, CHICAGO, June
IA T.N.S.).-The Republicans
formally launched their ma
tional convention today in an
atmosphere surcharged with
controversy over prohibition
and considerable bad feeling
over the incipient revolt that is
on against renominating Vice
President Charles Curtis.
While the delegates sweltered
in Chicago's great new stadium,
their leaders were busy outside
the convention hall trying I'd
patch up some Of the differences
which have proved stubborn of
treatment.
They left the stadium to re-
sume their conferences even while
Senator L. J. Dickinson of Iowa,
the temporary chairman, was key,
noting the convention with the
plea to stand by Hoover"
No "Wet" Agreement
The difficulty apparently was
in ascertaining just how wet a
plank Mr.. Hoover himself will
stand for. The long-distance
wires between Chicago and Wash
ington worked all night and this
morning to arrive at an agree
ment.
Walter H. Newton, one of Mr..
Hoover's secretaries, who is one
of the many liason officers that
the White House has on the
ground, said no agreement had
been reached.
At the same time DIR. Nicholas
Murray Butler was proclaiming
on the floor that there would be
no compromise so far as he is
concerned. He is for Straight-out
repeal of prohibition in the plat
form and he is going to battle
for it in the resolutions COM

if necessary.

In His Keynote Speech

IA G.N.S. ).-The Republicans
are going to the country this
year on the record of Herbert

no excuses.

oncoming campaign sounded
here today by Senator L. j.

over the temporary chairman

ton. ........
Hoover and no regrets" was
the burden of his plea. Coupled
with it was high praise of the
Presidents course in the economic
depression and savage denuncia-
ton of the Democrats for what
he described as "obstructionist"
tactics.
silent On Prohibition
On prohibition-the only real
controversy before the convention
the Republican keynoter was
eloquently silent. The word was
not even mentioned in the o.
page speech. He said:
"GangdOm, racketeering, and
thuggery should be stamped out
of our nation"
But beyond praise Of Mr..
Hoover's law enforcement record.
the senator did not even remotely
touch upon the issue. Twice as
many criminals, he said, are now
behind the bars of the jails OF
the country as when Mr.. Hoover
entered the White House.
Most of Senator Dickerson's
lengthy speech was devoted to
extolling President Hoover's
leadership in the economic de-
preston.
Long before the country real
lied that a depression was on, he
said, Mr.. Hoover had sensed the
situation and taken steps to
meet it.
ExtOJIs His Works
He cited the maintenance Of
wage levels throughout the first
stages of the depression, the Gre
alton of the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation, the expan-
sion Of public works, and the
broadening of the credit founda-
tions of the country as con-
structive steps.
He concluded with plea for
party regularity in these criti-
cal times.
To-day, our nation is in the
midst of its most periIOus eco
nOmic crisis. In this grave
hour the Republican party
meets again in national con-
