League to Consult
U. S. on Jap Report

GENEVA, Feb. 6 QN.S.D.-The
League of Nations will consult
the United States before it adopts
a report inferentially or actually
condemning Japan for its military
activities in Manchuria.
Members of the Leagues Sino-
japanese Committee of Nineteen
have decided that the League can
play a stronger hand in uphold
ing general principles if the United
States sanctions its measures be-
forehand.
In such an event, japanese
withdrawal from the League would
have the effect Of isolating the
Far Eastern empire.
Prominent league observers be-
lieve this appeal to the United
States may have the effect Of
foreStalling Japan's plan to with
draw, inclining to the opinion that
Tokyo will not risk the conSe-
quences of complete isolation when
it comes to a showdown.
The general lines Of the report
which the committee will present
to the assembly under Paragraph
of Article XIV, which calls upon
the league to make specific recon-
menations for settlement of a
dispute where conciliation has
failed, were decided upon today.

Married Women First
To Feel Economy Ak

Adoption Of the Bratton amend.
ment and the Costigan rider to
the appropriation bills, will mean
wholesale diSmissals of married
women from the Federal service,
it was stated today.
The amendment, asking a S per
cent slash in personnel funds, will
mean StricteSt economies must be
practiced by offices. The Costi-
gan rider forbidding reduction of
salaries or granting furloughS not
already authorized by law to meet
these economies will require out
right diSmiSSals of many workers,
it is claimed.
And since present laws require
that married persons whose
SpouSeS are also in the Federal
service shall be the first to be
discharged, every married person
in the Government service faces
danger Of removal, said one re.
Sponsible official.
At the Civil Service Commits
sion, it was declared that passage
of the Bratton amendment with
its rider would mean a 10 per cent
reduction in personnel, the dis
miSsals being substituted for pres
ent administrative furloughs by
necessity. There it was also ad,
mitted that married persons will
be the first victims Of personnel
reductions.

MOVES To CURB
POLITICAL
!: VIOLENCE
Newspapers Forbidden to Print
Criticism of Fascist
Government

BERLIN, Feb. 6 QNS0.-In
O desperate attempt to curb po-
litical violence, responsible for
seven deaths in the last "a hours,
Adolf Hitler's government today
promulgated the most drastic press
gag law in the history of the
German Republic.
The law provides a maximum
suspension of one month for any
newspaper printing false ews
about vital affairs Of the State,
ridiculing government officials or
institutions. or lauding acts Of
violence.
Under the decree. also, the
papers are enjoined from inciting
general strikes or strikes in vital
industries and from melting per-
sons to disobedience Of govern
ment DEGREES.
Aimed At Reds
The decree was aimed directly
ct Communist and Socialist news
papers which have hotly opposed
the new government and followed
other measures already taken
against them.
Newspapers or periodicals
violating the edict twice within
three months may be suppressed
from six months to a year, the
decree stipulateS, and sale of
foreign newspapers violating the
decree can be prohibited through
out Germany for six months
without appeal.
It was also decreed that per-
mitS for political meetings must
be obtained from police 48 hours
in advance. Every meeting must
be supervised by Government de-
tsctives. who are authorized to
dissolve the meetings immediate
1y in the event speakers incite
their listeners to disobedience
and ridicule or attack officials
and religious institutions.
Curb Prussian Diet
The edict adds that Chancellor
Hitler is specifically exempt from
attack or criticism.
Latest fatalities in the political
rioting, bringing the total dead to
more than 20, included the mayor
Of Strassfurt, a Nazi leader, a
policeman, and two members of
the Reichsbanner organization.
The mayor, Hermann hasten, was
shot while in the street. Joachim
Matthes, 17-year-old schoolboy,
was held for his murder.
On top Of the press decree,
President Won Hindenburg moved
to deal in short manner with the
recalcitrant PruSsian Diet, which
refused to vote it's own dissolu-
ton in defiance Of Chancellor
Hitler.
The president signed a decree

on what was destined to be the
widest chase in peace time naval
annals.
More than "a hours after her
departure, the De Zeven ProVin-
Glen was sighted north Of Hog
Island on the northwestern coast
Of Sumatra, still under full steam.
A squadron of cruisers and air
planes put out from Sourabaya to
augment a fleet which started
from Calebes yesterday.
The captain of the stolen bat
tleship was reported five miles in
the wake of the De zeven Pro-
vincien aboard the 800-ton gov
ernment vessel Aldabaran.
Ale was believed keeping safe
distance in the rear, owing to
fears that the mutineers might
open fire with their heavy guns.
The Aldabaran is unarmed.
The mutineers chose for heir
wild flight one of the most
treacherous bodies of water in
the world. The Java Seas is
honey-combed with reefs, shoals,
and rocks and is complicated by
submarine formations which are
thrown up overnight by volcanic

disturbances.
In addition, it is infested by
Aboriginal pirates. The captains
of passenger vessels making regu-
lar runs through the East Indies
reconcile themselves to uninter-
rupted watches on the bridge un-
til the treacherous waters Nv
been navigated. Shipping author
tiles said it would be a miracle
if the unframed mutineers reach
their destination without disaster.
When the mutiny began, lights
on the ship were suddenly put
out and the crew rushed from
their quarters, bristling with
arms, taking the officers by
surprise. Then, before officials
ashore had a chance to prevent
them, they ran the ship out of
harbor.

HIGH PRAISE At
CAPITOL RITES
National and International
Honor Bestowed; Hoover,
Senate, House Attend

National and international tri'

vim Coolidge today at a joint Ses,
sion of the Senate and House, at.
tended by President Hoover, his
Cabinet. ranking military officers,
the Supreme Court Justices, and
the heads of all foreign diplo-
matte missions here.
Arthur Prentice Rugg, Chief
Justice of Massachusetts and life
long friend of the former PreSi
dent, the only speaker, reviewed
the high lights of the Coolidge
career. He said:
"The Boston police strike did
not make him. 1t only re-
vealed him. 1t tried him; he
was not found wanting. 1t
merely disclosed his power. He
was prepared to meet the emer-
gency. When opportunity came
he was ready"
A row of palms fronting the
Speakers rostrum provided the
only decoration for the service.

President Hoover was preceded

filled. The Interstate Commerce
Commission male chorus sang.
Administration Reviewed
Reviewing Coolidge's admins.
tration, Rugg said:
"The negotiation of the Pact
of Paris was doubtless the
signal feature Of his admins
tratiOn in the field of foreign
relations. The contracting ma
tOnS thereby condemned re-
course to war for the solution
of international controversies
and renOunced war as an inStru-
ment Of national policy.
whatever else may be said
concerning this muIti-lateral
treaty, it is at least a most
solemn declaration of the
nations against war and in
favor of peace"
Coolidge could have swept the
country had he chosen to run
for the Presidency in 1928, Ruge
said.

Barry Quizzed on Senate Graft, Names
Professor at Local University

if there are any"
Senator Schuyler asked:
do you believe any Senators
or Representatives have taken
graft in the past?"
81 am bound to believe so
after reading the statements
of Senator Nye and Senator
Glass;"
aside from that, have you
any knowledge of a Senator or
Representative taking graft?"
Il have not"
Borah DisagreeS
Senator Borah entered the room
and said:
Have you any knowledge Of
your own that a Senator or
Representative has had cor
rupt motives in casting any
vOte?"
"I do not"
Barry insisted he believed Con-
greSS was body of honest men
and it was a mistake to regard
them as corrupt" Barry said:
81 wrote this article to cor
rect that view. I've always
taken that other view.
Borah said:
"I don't agree that the coun-
try regards the Senate and
House as corrupt"
Barry said:
"They teach it in the schools.
They teach it here in colleges
in this town. They tell instances
about the taking of stocks. 1t
is the universal vieW."
Denies Such a View
Borah said Barry'S story, writ
ten by an official of the Senate
could do more harm to Congress
than "aIl statements Of a thou
sand or ten thousand private
citizens" He explained:
"Men, who work here, spend
a life here, trying to serve the
public, feel very deeply about
a statement coming from that
source. You must remember
that the millions of people all
over the country, who read it,
will say: There is a man who
knows
Barry conferred with:
'But 1 didn't intend to give
such an impression"
Blaine pointed out that Sena
tor Glass statement applied to
an instance ten years ago. He
asked Barry whether lie believed
one instance, ten years old, made
Congress corrupt today. Barry
said:
"NO."

NOTE BY TOKYO.
HELD DOOM To
CANCELLATION
Nippon ParIey Drafts Order
to Delegate in Geneva to

TOKYO, Feb. 6 GN.S0-Japan
will refuse to soften her attitude
toward the League of Nations in
the Sino-Japanese Manchurian
conflict, according to instructions
sent to the japanese League dele
gate today by Foreign Minister
Uchida.
The instructions, cabled to
Yosuke Matsuoka following con-
ference in which Emperor Hirohito
participated at an extraordinary
cabinet meeting, state:
l. The japanese govern
ment doubts that China would
approve the Leagues latest Of
fering for conciliation Of the
conflict.
2. Matsuoka must carry out
to the letter previous instruc-
tions declaring Japan is opposed
to a statement of the Leagues
views on the conflict.
Discussions Doomed
OIIlclaLS pTeQ1cIeQ Cn1S move

japanese conciliation efforts and
that japan participate in no more
discussins to that end.
It was reported that Japan
would be satisfied only with strict
adherence by the League to her
latest proposal, which looks to
settlement of the dispute with the
League refraining from adopting
a juridical statement of it's views.
More Trouble Seen
The reaction of the Chinese
government to this proposal, how.
ever; was seen as unfavorable,
and it was believed further diff
ficultles would. be encountered in
attempts to end the Far Eastern
impaSSe.
The committee of Nineteen at
Geneva has ruled that previous
Japanese efforts at compromise
had failed to make conciliation
possible.

to his room and told me to use
it as my headquarters. l went
there this morning with my
friend, Frank S. Bright. and my
sOn-in-law."
Barry said he didn't wish tc
visit his old sergeant-at-arms
office, so had accepted the invi
tation of Senator Moses, Bright
a washington attorney, appeared
as Barry's friend.
Denied Graft knowledge
Barry denied any knowledge Of
graft.
Barry's statement in full fol
lows:
81 have served the Senate
nearly IA years. In that time
1 have made every effrOt to up
hold its dignity and its honor
and I would not willingly have
done anything to impugn its
honor.
81 have at many times in my
career as a newspaper CORE
spondent written publicly and
prOfeSSed my sincere belief that
Congress, as a body, is COM
posed of honest men and a fair
reading of the entire text of the
article in question would show
that my purpose was to pro-
claim the integrity of the Con-
gresS as a whole.
THE PHILLIPS ARTICLE
"Many years ago, published
in the New England Magazine
an article entitled The Loyalty
of the Senate in an attempt to
reply to a series of articles writ
ten by the late David Graham
Phillips. The title of his ar
ticleS was The Treason of the
Senate and at that time they
caused a sensational discussion
of the very subject now before
the Senate.
II was at that time and
was in the New Outlook article,
endeavOring to represent it as
the true situation that the iS0-
lated case of misconduct of in
dividuaIS in office offered no
basis for the loose public con-
demnatiOn of the Senate we so
often hear.
Documentary Proof
"If it is an Offense to have
said what 1 said in my article,
then not alone am guilty, for
on the tenth of May, 1882, Sen
at0r Glass of Virginia, speak
ing on the subject of the Op-
position of certain bankers to
the proposed legislation in re-
gard to branch banking, said:
"'They hired a skillful and
persuasive professional lobbyist
and paid him a high salary to
come here to Washington;
worse than that, they hire some
Congressman to my positive
documentary knowledge, to Op-
pose even that small measure
of branch banking
81 would also respectfully call
attention to the letter of SEN
atOr Nye to the late Senator
Caraway, published in the print
ed hearings of the Nye commit
tee investigating campaign ex-
penditures involving an individ-
ual Senator.
GENERAL OPINION
within the past few days a
Senator has said in the Senate
that a certain measure would
be enacted because the inter
ests were behind it, and it is
q matter Of frequent comment
The Washington times., 1933-02-06

that the halls Of Congress are
filled with groups of lobbyists,
and the lobbyist for special in
tereSts has always had a SiniS-
ter name.
'It might be, from all that
is recited above, a fair infer
ence that there were some men
subject at least to influence,
and my inference was based on
a general knowledge of cOndi-
tiOnS surrounding Congress and
not on any concrete cases such
as those spoken of by Senator
Glass.
READY TO APOLOGIZE
Moreover, employed my
inference to dispute a popular
impression that Congress is
filled with grafters.
"But certain Senators have
apparently arrived at the con-
clusiOn that my words carry a
meaning I never intended, and
if the Interpretation is to be
placed upon them that they
constitute an attack upon the
integrity of the Senate, I would
unqueStiOnably, as an elected
officer of the body, owe the
Senate an apology; on that
basis I would unhesitatingly
tender.
81 have served the Senate, as
1 have heretofore stated, nearly
IA years. In less than a month
my successor in ordinary course
would have been named, and l
had expected to serve until
then.
81 do not believe it would
have been proper for me, as an
elected officer of the Senate, to
have published an article re-
flecting upon the integrity of
the Senate. That would be an
improperly, regardless Of facts
or evidence.
'But I do not feel that have
so acted as to the Senate. Quite
on the contrary, 1 have af-
firmed the integrity of the Sem
ate against a too widespread
popular belief in the prevalence
of corruption.
81 have declared dishonesty
in the individual, which think
1 have clearly shown it was
reasonable for me to allude, to
be exceptional and even rela-
lively without influence.
WOULD RESIGN
81 spoke of demagOguery. If
that constitutes an improperly
would gladly offer an apology
as an officer of the Senate.
"But the charge appears to
be that I have assailed the in
tegrity of the Senate. Were !
guilty of that 1 would not only
apologize; would resign.
Indeed I would have resigned
and made the charge after
wards. But believing that /
have not made any such attack,
that 1 have said no mOre-in-
deed far less than Senators
Glass and Nye and others, /
can only in good conscience
await the judgment of the Sem
ate"
Back To Glass, Nye
Senator Walsh questioned
Barry as to whether he believed
the passage of several bills, such
as the Woman Suffrage Amend
ment meant that the character
Of Congress has changed in the
last 25 years" Barry said:
