TWO UNKNOWN MEN
KILLED ON TRACKS
Mutilated Bodies Found on South
ern's Track Near
RavensWorth.
By a STAFF CORE spondem &. The Star.

BY Stan orreSpoECeDt o. Inc quar-
ANANDALE, Va, May 29.-Believed
to have gone to sleep on the tracks OF
the Southern Railway, the mutilated
bodies of two unidentified men were
found near Ravensworth Station today
by the crew of freight train. Deputy
Sheriff Henry Magarity and Acting
Coroner r. E. Feagans examined the
bodies and on one found an address
book in the front of which was the name
Bob Williams, Grand Prairie, Tex"
This man also had billfold in which
were pictures of a middle-aged woman
and two young girls. Numerous other
addresses in his book ranged from Cali
fornia to Connecticut and included the
name of Marcus L. Luther, Bladens-
burg, Md; the address l4l8 Eight
eenth street, Washington. and the name
of DIR Hamrick, 408 Baltimore street.
Baltimore, Md"
There was nothing on the body Of
the other man that would give any
clue to his identity and both bodies
were so badly mutilated that it was
believed 1t would be impossible for any
one to identify them by sight.
When discovered, the body of one
man lay in the middle of the track
and the other just beside it, indicating,
railroad officials said, that the men
had been PROSTATE when struck. The
section at which they were found is a
remote one, there being no road other
than an old log trail. Railroad officials
took the bodies after their examination
by the coroner to Burke Station on q
hand car, where they were to be called
for by an undertaken.
Dr.. Feagan stated he believed the age
of the older man to be about As and
that of the other to be about 16. or
possibly younger.

house this morning to see about some

Norman saw Harris he went . the

three shells in his pocket, and hid be-
hind the fence where he knew Harris

Congress Can't Cut
d. C.. Justices Pay,
High Court Rules
Opinion Holds Tribunals
Were Created by
Constitution.

The Supreme Court held today that
Congress could not reduce the salaries
of judges of the District of Columbia
Supreme Court and District Court of
Appeals during their service on the
bench.
The crux Of the ruling was that the
courts were created by the Constitu-
ton and were not legislative courts
created by Congress. The judges in
volved had declared their willingness
voluntarily to contribute their utmost
during the depression in the spirit of
the provisions of the economy act but
they had insisted-and their contention
was upheld-that their salaries could
not be reduced for the period for which
they were appointed
Chief Justice Hughes and Justices
Van Devanter and Cardozo dissented.
The Chief Justice said the Congress
had power at its pleasure to change
the tenure of the judges of both courts
and could at any time, II 1t desired,
reduce their salaries.
Most Federal judges, under the in
depreciation that they we're members
Of constitutional courts not created by
Congress, were exempt from the pro-
visions of last years economy act,
slashing the salaries of most Govern
ment employees and Office holders. Only
three or four voluntarily returned to
the Treasury the amount that would
have been deducted had Congress been
enabled to slash their pay.

With Death for

Line on Morgan
Inquiry.

Senator Carter Glass of Virginia,
who has criticized the manner in which
Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the Sen
ate Banking Committee, has conducted
the investigation of the house Of Nor

ceived several letters threatening his

"Of course. none of the letters threat

Senator. THAT kind of cattle never
sign letters"
He did not appear to be disturbed in
the slightest by the threats, and he in
sisted he would continue his demand
that Pecora keep the committee In
formed as to what line of investigation
he (Pecora) proposed to proceed.
One of the kilograms received by
Senator Glass came from man in
New England 1t was signed and so
severely critical that Senator Glass
wrote on the telegram, II pay no at
tention : blackguards," and mailed II
back to - man.
Senator Glass said he held no brief
for j. P. Morgan & Co. and reiterated
his former statements that his bank
reform bill, now In conference between
the two Houses. struck at the operations
of the private bankers more drastically
than any other legislation ever proposed
in Congress.
II intend" said Senator Glass, that
members of the Banking and Currency
Committee shall know what Mr.. Pecora
is driving at in his examination of the
members of the Morgan firm or any
other witnesses that may come before
that committee. None of them has
known In the past, nor have they been
in a position to ask the witnesses in

cided today to ask the Senate for addi-

in stock of the institution.
Evidence before the committee has
shcwn that some of the funds Hartman
is charged with taking from depositors'
accounts was used to support this pool,

GENEVA, Switzerland, May 90
Talk of Italian Premier Benito Musso-

today completely dominated the Dis
armament Conference.
Great Britain, Germany, Italy and
France are said to be virtually agreed
on the new text and its signature is
said to be imminent.
Opposed by Poland.
Poland is bitterly opposed. 1t threat
ems that 1t will even quit the League of
Nations If this pact is adopted. This
pact means, according to the Poles.
that the four-power concert would
henceforth be substituted for the
League. They suspect, moreover, that
the only possible meaning of the pact
is an attempt to revise the Polish cor
ridor
Russia also looks with profound sus-
picion on this pact. Foreign Commissar
Maxim Litvinov Is coming to Geneva
tomorrow.

ing the pact, now seems to be resigned

fed in a public statement promised for

France Must Sign.
France never liked Mussolini's pro-
poSal, but felt obliged to avoid reject
ing it. France then sought to kill it by
drastic revision. Great Britain, Italy
and Germany seem to have accepted
Frances revised text, thereby making
it impossible for France to refuse to
sign
The exact meaning of the four power
pact, as 1t now stands, is difficult to
estimate. 1t Is certain, in any case. that
the clause providing for united Euro
pean front in extra European affairs
has been dropped, thereby reassuring
the American circles.
