Senator Reed, republican, Penn sylyania, "We are assured by the treasury that we have provided for the needs of the coming year ana that we can depend upon 1t that the budget is balanced If we stand by the economy bill"
 "The tax bill certainly won't ball. ance the budget unless we pass the economy bill" said Glass. "And l don't believe we will balance the budget even if we pass the econ- omy bill."
 Shoot and Reed agreed that more than the $23S, ,605,0O0 econ omy reported by the appropriations committee would be necessary. They said the rest of the needed savings of $350,000,000 could be made up by reductions from the various appropriation bills.
 The principal items in the econ- omy bill were 10 per. cent re- auction in all federal salaries, cal culated to save $121, 1,000,000; a re- ducton of approximately $bS,00O,- 900 in appropriations for war vet erans; and saving of $22.O0O,- 900 by reducing annual leave of federal employees from 50 to 10 days.
 The veterans cut divided the ap- propriations committee almost evenly but with a margin for the economy. Loud, disputing voices could be heard in the committed room as senators shouted for and against move of such political importance.
 Mills worked all night at the treasury before addressing the fi- nance committee. He informed sen ators that degenerating business had decreased the prospective yield of taxes previously estimated by the treasury. The senate responded immediately by voting new levies,
 Mills asked for $1,125,000,00G and the bill as passed is less than $1O,000,0O0 short of that sum.
 "I won't quarrel with the last $10,OO0, 0,0O0." Mills told the United Press, but he evidently was dis turbed by the senate's rejection of his own gas and electricity levies and the substitution of the Howell amendment. He said he would have prospective revenue from that source investigated before agreeing that it would raise $50,000, ,0OO.

er," who previously had admitted ordering payment of $7,500 to the same person from his own account.
 Smiths testimony that he wasn't cetrain if he were repaid in full for $30,00 overdraft by Mayor Walker and his European tour party of 1917. Smith bought $10,000 letter of credit to which the members of the party contri- buted it has been testified.
 Another contradiction of Walk CT story in regard to financing the Equitable Coach Co. Former Judge Charles w. Appleton of Gen. eral Electric company said he had discussed with the mayor the may or's understanding that Anson Bur- chard, vice chairman of the com- pany, was to help finance the bus company. Walker had denied such an understanding"
 Smiths testimony that stock Herrick said was bought for either Walker or stanton was bought by himself on tip" from Senator John A. Hastings, friend of Walker. Smith said he split the profits on it with Hastings. Hastings had said Walker gave him the tip on the stock. and that he passed 1t on to friends.
 Testimony by Irene Kenny, for mer secretary to Smith, that she sent all checks, and other financial data on the Equitajse Coach Go to Smiths home in Syracuse four years ago. Smith denied this wns done, but said the records were missing.

 The deposits of $500, in divi- dends, from the bronze company were made in Walkers private checking account with the Federa- ton Bank and Trust company.
 Previous, Harry J. Rosenbloom, had testified to the contract and to the payment by the city of $43,- 556.40 for the standards.
 After Rosenbloom was dismissed Seabury offered photostatic copies of the deposit slips, and followed this by reading the charter clause.
 Last week, Walker admitted ownership of the Reliance bonds, but said he had turned them over to Mrs Walker.
 The bonds originally came into the mayors hands from J. A. Sisto and Company. Sisto had "carried" the mayor in brokerage account. and upon closing it out with q $26,OOO profit, sent the bonds to the mayor. The SistO company was hnanclal agent for the bronze company, and assisted in floating the companys bond issue.
 II say" Seabury declared. "that 1t is grounds for removal or the mayor of the city for him to hold bonds of company which is doing business with the city"
 To this charge, Assemblyman Cuvillier angrily retorted: "Coun- sel is trying to do by force what he cannot do by ballot"
 Russell T. Sherwood, the $3,50O year accountant who deposited almost $1,OO0,O00 in various &C., counts in four years. paid hos- pital bill for Mayor James J. Walk CT in 1929, Counsel Samuel Seabury revealed before the Hofstadter in- vestigating committee to-day.
 The revelation was another link in Seabury's attempt to show that Sherwood, missing since the inves- tigation started, acted as Walkers financial agent. Walker on the stand had denied the charge and said Sherwood merely had acted to pay a few household bills for Mrs Walker. Since then, Seabury has traced several payments by Sherwood to an unnamed person" for Walker.
 Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier. a Tammany member. brought up the new revelation to-day. At the opening of the hearing he demand ed to know why Seabury was ex- amining witnesses ''in secret" on the matter of "who paid Mayor Walkers hospital bills."
 "I'll tell you, assemblyman." Sea- bury replied. "I want to present in evidence this check for $535.25 made out to the Broad street hos pital in payment of the mayors bill in September. 1929. It is signed by Russell T. Sherwood"
 The principal developments dur ing testimony Tuesday were: | Evidence that Russell T. Sher- wood paid to an unnamed person more than $1,O00 q week last year, $75,090 in all. Seabury said the payments were ''on behalf of Walk

 Mulhaley told the officers Li- briZZi had emptied his revolver twice into the womans body after the three had argued about who should be Mrs Aliens escort.
 Mulhaley and Librizzi have been rivals for Mrs Aliens affections re- gently, police said. The woman dil not live with her husband. Null haley is married and has been sued for divorce.

 Librizzi stopped the car and or dered the passengers out. Then, according to Mulhaley, he fired six shots into Mrs Aliens body. Re- loading calmly, he discharged an other six shots.
 Mulhaley said he grappled with LibriZzi but was too late.

ernor Byrd at the state democratic headquarters in this city. It read:
 Very distressed that due to ill., ness of Mrs Byrd I will be unable to be with you tomorrow night. Please extend my very best greet ings and regards to the democrats of Connecticut"
 Investigation revealed that Mrs Byrd was admitted yesterday af- ternoon to the Johns Hopkins hos pital in Baltimore and that the governor planned to remain at her bedside during an observation per- iod. The nature of Mrs Byrd's ill., ness was not learned.
 The committee, in deciding to postpone tomorrow evenings din- ner, did so with the greatest of reluctance. Further word from ex-Governor Byrd will be awaited before another date is announced for the event. A large number of reservations which had already been made will be kept pending the new date for the dinner. Gov ernor Cross promised this noon that he will attend when the gath- ering takes place. Finance Com missioner Charles Jackson. who was to have presided as toastmaster at the session, will serve in the same capacity when the dinner takes place.
 If Mrs Byrd's illness continues to make it impossible for Governor Byrd to leave her side, another man of national prominence will be secured as the chief speaker for the dinner which will be held in the very near future. Governor Moore Of New Jersey, who led the investigation of the Lindbergh kidnapping tragedy. is being con sidered as an alternate speaker.
 In the meantime the Democratic Victory Fund Campaign is getting under way in Waterbury, with q number of the city's 20 voting dis tricts already organized for a gen. eral canvass. The committee hopes to complete the drive in this city within three weeks.

 It was understood that the con- ference was likely to meet here im- mediately after the Lausanne dis cussion of reparations. If the Lausanne conference is limited to making formal a moratorium on separations, it was indicated that the deliberations might be trans- ferred to London with the original Lausanne delegations, plus an American delegation headed by Ambassador Andrew w.

 British officials empasized, how ever. that the date of the projected conference remained indefinite and could not be fixed until other gov- ernments were consulted.
