was discovered that the note was
written in one color ink and signed
by the girl in ink of a different

Hindu lover of the Mexican girl
had written this note before COM

and there forced her to sign it, kill
ing her just as soon as her signature
was affixed to the paper.
This theory is borne out by the
fact that there was fountain pen

NEW YORK, Feb. %
(I.N.S). - Pre- S. d e n t-elect
Roosevelt moved directly to-
day to relieve distress both
here and abroad, despite the
fact inauguration was still II
days off.
He announced selection of Sen
ator Cordell Hull CD of Tennes-

William H. Woodin, of New York,
as Secretary of the Treasury in
the new Cabinet.

, Woodin will be entrusted with

It was understood that Mr..

ferences with the British and
French ambassadors, favors as

BILLION
GRANT To Be
DEMANDED
Insurgents, Dissatisfied With
Wagner Plan, Want Co.'S
tigan Bill Instead

The battle for $5OO,OOO,OOO
direct Federal aid to the
needy was reopened in the
House today as cad S
weighed their course on the
Wagner relief act passed by
the Senate.
House progressives, dissatisfied
with the Wagner plan, announced
they would seek to substitute the
La Toilette Costigan proposal for
a direct grant of a half billion
dollars to the States.
Representative LaGuardia (R0
Of New York said:
1--WE must have more relief to
the unemployed, and the La
Toilette COstigan plan is much
better than loans to the States
through the Il. F. C. rs PRO
vided in the Wagner bill"
Democrats Undecided
The policy of Democratic House
leaders was still undecided, with
some of them apparently fearful
that a huge grant of relief funds
will destroy their fight for
economy in the present session.
The Wagner plan was framed
to avoid a direct drain on the
Treasury. The r. F. C. under
the proposal would issue its notes
to obtain the necessary funds.
Since it has left about $50, ZOO, 900
Of the fund set up for States
last year, approval of the Wagner
measure would provide $780,
100000 for relief purposes.
Representative Rainey of
Illinois, Democratic leader, in dis
cussing the Wagner plan said:
eff we vote large sums, we
cannot carry out our plan of
economy in Federal finances.
We should consider the Situa-
ton carefully before taking
action"
Cities Back Wagner Bill
Representatives of the large
cities in the House were backing
provisions of the Wagner bill
iberalizing the r. F. c. act to
permit loans to municipalities for
"needful'' projects.
This provision, it is declared,
would permit cities to begin many
large construction projects which
cannot be classified as self
liquidating under the present law.
Coupled with the relief effort
in the House is the demand for
farm mortgage and debtor relief
legislation.
House leaders, according to
members of the banking COM
mittee, have turned thumbs down
on the Steagall bill permitting
Federal farm loan banks to grant
moratoriums on the payment of
interest and inStallmentS on farm
mortgages.

Perlsal of yellowing periodicals at the Con-

told even details regarding clothes the Presi-

gress and the Departments and saw pretty
nearly everything, I guess. Then came the
great day-Inauguration day. We were up at
7:30 in the morning, but we didn't saddle up
till noon Then we rode down back OF the
hotel and waited in front of the Police Court
for our turn to fall in line. While we were
waiting jess Driscon of Spearhsh and Jim
Dahlman Of Sioux City (later mayor 81
Omaha), and fellow named Minnick had
a lot Of fun roping coons and policemen.
I'VE swung into the procession at O'Clock.
It was great When we rode past the Presl-
dents stand, he took on his hat and hollered
and took of my hat and holleTed. After
the parade we all rode up to the White House

to me: I'm glad to meet you I says: Same

The President is all right. He's splendid

But the graphic version Of a l5-year-old

not cover all the story. For several days fol-

The jaunty reporter OF today viii probably
smile as he emissions the lucubrations of the
writer who penned the following description Of
the estimated crowd Of 60 600 persons who at
tended the Inauguration Of William Henry
Harrison in 1871:
"While amaiting the asripal OF the President
this mass OF heads resembled some placid lake,
not in perfect calm, but gently yaDpled By q
passing breeze, its tcaters in perpetual motion.
But the instant he ipds seen advancing from

Thus Is written the story of maugurations
The reporter that put into words the story that
was yesterday today is hunting words for the
story of tomorrow. 1t is new quadrennial
period in American history. The new Presi-
dent, during his campaign, saw fit to call it a
new deal" The reporter must watch the turn
of every card. He must tell his world Of new
plans, new policies new history.
