that presiding at the repeal con-
vention was his greatest honor, cast
n blanket vote for repeal.
Formal ratification was assured
through an Overwhelming eight to
one election of the wet delegates.
In an hour OF great personal
triumph for the silver-haired
"Happy Warrior" Smiths words
as president of the repeal conven-
ton were greeted with thunderous
cheers which repeatedly halted his
speech.
Smith declared the status Of pro-
hibition "is In its right place now
as far as New York state Is con-
cerned."
1--WE all know" he said. chat
we were coming here to ratify re-
peal. But It will serve as a lesson
to the people and to the officials.
and that lesson Is not to put any
thing In the Constitution which
will deprive the people of their just
rights.
another lesson Is that ratify-
ing a change in the federal Con-
stitutIon should be made directly
by the people themselves and not
by legislatures"
1--WE have lot TO learn. One
thing Is to keep our eyes open
against organized minorities.
This convention as every con-
vention held In every part OF the
country. is clear indication of the
fundamental theory Of democratic
government"
"rhis convention" Smith con-
tinued. "will stand out as a warn
ing to this and other states for all
times to come that they must be
careful not to allow anything like
the 18th amendment to get into the
federal Constitution"
II held that he legislature Of
this state did not express the will
OF the people when It ratified the
18th amendment and I know that
was right"
Smith declared he had had many
honors In this chamber but none
was greater than the honor of pre-.
siding over this convention"

fessed to the charge OF theft and
demonstrated how they obtained
the money.
The two youngsters had access to
the bake shop, but not to the office
where the money was kept In a
drawer. When one of the lava
brothers discovered that money
was mysteriously disappearing he
suspected the boys, but had moth
ing tangible on which to base a
charge. He rugged up a burglar
alarm. A bell was to ring in his
home in the same building when
the door of the Office was opened.
The arrangement was tried out sew
eral times with perfect success.
The bell registered the alarm, but
nevertheless, small sums of money
continued to disappear. This morn
ing $25 vanished. He abandoned all
his detective methods and selling
hold of one of the lads questioned
him and obtained an admission.
The two boys were then turned over
to Lieutenants William Pollard and
Matthew Balanda. They made
confession.
How did they get into the locked
room for the money? Easy
they removed the hinges on the
door and kept the latter from con-
tacting the buzzer.

HOOVER POCKET
VETO LIKELY
IF PASSED
Many Vets Believe Action
Now Would Prove Obstacle
to Repeal Ratification

The hope Of vets for "beer
by March 4" waned today
when they found Senate lead
ers reluctant to order action
on the revised House bill
legalizing beer and light wines.
With but seven legislative days
remaining of the Seventy-Second
Congress, a survey disclosed that
neither Republican nor Demo
cratic leaders would predict pas
sage Of the bill.
The legislative path to its enact
rnent was cleared in the Senate
but both party leaders regarded
its consideration as unlikely.
Three Objections
The objections raised to action
on the beer bill were:
/. President Hoover will kill
1t by a pocket veto, since less
than ten days remain to the
adjournment Of Congress.
2. It's passage might retard
the present swiftrmoving cam
paign for repeal Of the Eight
eenth Amendment.
8. A dry filibuster might kill
oil other legislation.
The attitude Of President Hoover
toward legalized beer was re.
ported to have swung the pendu.
lum against action on the bill.
The time limit in which the
President would have to send
his veto reasons to Congress ex.
pired yesterday. Now, if the bill
Is enacted. Mr.. Hoover merely
can pocket it, and it would die
March 4. In the meantime, Con.
greSs could do nothing whatever
about overriding his objections
For Repeal Action First
Some vets were opposed now
to legalizing beer until a ma
jority Of the States have acted
on the repeal Of prohibition.
They feared a "let-down" in re-
peal sentiment throughout the
nation il beer and light wines
were legalized.
d. c. Bill Still On Calendar
The Senate meanwhile cleared
UP its program Of appropriate
bills. Only the District of Co.
lumbia and Navy bills must be
passed next week. .-....
Five bills, however, are in con-
ference and there will be q row
over the TreaSury-PoStoffice con-
q. ference report, with it's economy
bill rider. The conferees elimi-
mated the Bratton S per cent
slash Of Federal expenditures and
restored a $4,000, 900 appropria-
ton for air mails in opposition TO
votes in the Senate.
The legislative program was
topped by the Robinson bank
ruptcy reform bill, which liberal
ICES the treatment Of individual
debtors and prevents foreclosure
of farm mortgages. A Senate
group will seek to extend its
benefits, against considerable OPP
position, to railroads and corpora
tions.

must give formal notice of resig-
nation, which becomes effective
only after two years.
Virtual Withdrawal
In effect, however, the action
was virtually tantamount to Jap
anese withdrawal from the League
It means that the Assembly, the
supreme tribunal Of the League,
henceforth will be obliged to func-
ton without the cooperation and
collaboration of Japan.
Several small nations have drop
ped out from time to time. But
never before has a large and pow
erful country, pledged under the
terms Of the League covenant to
submit all controversies a'ld dis
putes to international arbitration,
elected to follow a course Of iso-
lation.
China's "MOral Victory
The Sino-Japanese committee
report called upon all the ma
tions Of the world to, blacklist
Manchukuo, demanded that Japan
return Manchuria to Chinese SOW
ereignty, and ordered that the
japanese armies promptly cease
their attempts to "pacify" the
Province Of Jehol with machine
guns and cannon.
China has won a moral victory
over the lust for power Of Japan's
military chieftains," DR.. w. w.
Yen, Of China, told the assembly.
Yen welcomed the presence Of
American and Soviet Russian rep
resentatives on the negotiations
commission provided in the re-
port to direct further attempts
at settlement.
Then, on behalf Of China, he
accepted the report and its recon-.
mendations, which include restor-
alton Of Chinese sovereignty in
Manchuria, reServing only China'S
right to act under Paragraph 6
Of Article XIV owing to Japan's
refusal to accept the report.
Matsuoka followed DR.. Yen,
speaking for an hour.
Reading from a prepared text,
Matsuoka emphatically refused to
accept the recommendations Of
the report and declared Japan'S
only course in order to maintain
peace in the Far East was to sup
port the state Of Manchukuo.
Calls League Blind
The League Of Nations, he said,
is blind to the realities of the
East, and by its actions is largely
responsible for the present dan
gerouS situation"
International control of Man
churia is not possible, Matsuoka
said. adding:
Would Americans agree to
international control Of the
Panama Canal? Or would the
British permit such COnrtOl over
Egypt?"
He ended his speech with an
appeal to the League Assembly
not to adopt the report. Couch
ing his plea in more conciliatory
terms than his last statement to
the League, he said:
Japan is putting ManchukO
on its feet in way to establish
peace in the Far East.

Of the future. I earnestly beg

war.
He said every bank in New
York did this. It was a common
practice and the loans were
called day loans" he said. He
added they were not secured but
were extended under contracts.
He said it meant in effect that
the broker had extra calls and
advised the bank that he would
have to have additional accomo-
dation.
Reached Half Billion
On busy days the total day
loans of all the banks was run
up to the astounding total Of be-
tween four and five hundred mil
lions of dollars, Mitchell said.
Senator Couzens observed:
'Tt all contributes to taking
away capital from industry
them"
Il wouldn't say that"
CouzenS veered into a discus
sion of governmental securities.
He asked Mitchell how many
bonds he thought the Govern
ment could sell. Mitchell re-
piled that the Government could
sell all the bonds that its credit
would stand.
you mean you think the
Government could sell IS or
40 billion dollars in securities?"
well, that's a pretty big
order, but the Government
could sell as many securities as
it could back with good credit"

she entered the kitchen and that
she cut it off.
Besides this mark, DR.. Murphy
found a bruise on the left fore
head and a cut on the right side
Of the head. How these injuries
were received has not been
learned by police.
Intoxicated, Says Wife
According to Mrs. Fitzgerald,
her husband returned home last
night intoxicated and went in the
kitchen, closing the door so that
their baby, Jean 2, might not
see him take a drink.
Twice the baby knocked on the
door, the wife said; then, after
about five minutes, she entered
the kitchen to find Fitzgerald un-
conscious on the floor.
Mrs. Fitzgerald then called q
neighbor child, Helen Roberts, IA,
who summoned help and the res
cue squad was called. Mrs. Fitz-
gerald said nothing about the
necktie until DR.. Murphy discov-
cred the mark on the dead mans
neck, detectives said.
Child Disputes Statement
Another statement of hers they
are puzzled at is that she dis.
covered blood on the kitchen floor
and that a neighbours child mop

IMPEACHMENT
IS VOTED
House Adopts Minority Report
AssaiIing U. S. Judge for
Alleged Misconduct

Federal Judge Harold Louder
back, of San Francisco, was i'm.
peached by the House this
afternoon.
The action came as a surprise,
the Judiciary Committee hav-
ing voted 13 to 5 against i'm
peachment.
However, the committee voted
unanimously to cenSure the Judge
for many of his official actions
in connection with receivership
cases.
Shortly after the House met
today Representative McKeown
D0 Of Oklahoma. was recognized
by Speaker Garner to present the
majority report of the Judiciary
Committee generating, but at
the same time censuring, Federal
Judge Harold Louderback, Of the
northern district of California.
The judge will learn his fate
before 3 p. m. Representative
LaGuardia (RO of New York,
backed by four other members
Of the Judiciary Committee, will
fight the exoneration and offer
an impeachment resolution as a
substitute. An agreement has
been reached to limit debate to
two hours.
Put In the Record
The LaGuardia impeachment
resolution was put in the record
as a substitute for the report
clearing the judge. 1t will be
voted upon first when debate
ends.
LaGuardia cited the Russell
Colvin Company case, charging
that Louderback discharged Ad-
olson G. Strong as receiver
after having attempted to force
and coerce Strong to appoint
one John Douglass Short as at
torney for the receiver"
Louderback was charged also
win improper and unlawful con-
duct as a judge" in granting
excessive, exorbitant and un-
reasonable allowances" to Marshal
Woodward and Samuel Short
ridge, jr., son of the Senator, re-
ceiver and attorney, respectively,
in the matter Of the Lumbermens
Reciprocal Association.
1t was charged that Guy H.
Gilbert, named receiver in the
FageOl Motor Company case, was
incompetent and inexperienced,
and that the rights of litigants
were disregarded.
The fifth article of impeach-
ment was a general charge of
impeachment in receivership case,
indifference to the rights of liti-
gantS, and decision of cases with
partiality and prejudice and IA
voritism to certain individuals"
