SENATE REPORT
FAVORS DRYS

Voting $S,44O,OOO for prohibi.
tion enforcement next year, the
Senate Appropriations Committee
today favorably reported the
$103, 100000 State, Justice, Com
merce and Labor departments
supply bill.
The committee reversed a sub
committee, which slashed $844,-
900 from the prohibition enforce
ment fund. The slash had been
voted on the demand of vets,
who insisted on the same 10 per
cent economy in prohibition en-
forcement as has been imposed
on other Government functions.
The bill carried $12,000,000 for
the State Department, SAL ,8O0,-
900 for Justice, $36,600,000 for
Commerce and $12,600,000 for
the Labor Department. All these
totals were less than last years
appropriations.
The House ban on wire tap
ping was retained in the bill.
A substitute, adopted by a sub
committee, was defeated by a
10-to-10 tie vote.
The substitute, which may be
offered again in the Senate,
would permit wire tapping by
dry agents if and when approved
by Department of Justice Off
cials. Two drys-Keyes (RO of

of Virginia-voted against wire

j. S. QUIZ
Justice Department Sends
Agents to Question
Roanoke Suspects

ROANOKE, Va, Feb. 10.
Department of Justice agents
arrived here today to grill
three suspects held in an al
legged Lindbergh extortion
plot which carried with it the
threat to kidnap the second
Lindbergh baby, Jon Morrow.
The trio, two men and woman,
was taken into custody yesterday
by Roanoke authorities, after a
bundle containing a check for
SIT, 900 had been planted in &C
,cordance with instructions from
the extortionists.
Those held are N. T. Harvey, 30,
and Roe Bryant, 25, members Of
well known Roanoke families.
Mrs. Harvey was also held for in
vestigation, police asserting that
she was familiar with the plot.
Trailed Two Months
The arrests were made by Cap
tain Of Detectives j. L. Thomas
and Detective r. C. Johnson,
climaxing two months work on
the case.
j. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
Department of Justice, sent word
that his office is probing the
case to determine if it has any
jurisdiction in the alleged attempt
to kidnap the second Lindbergh
child.
According to police, the two
men and the woman went to the
place where the bundle containing
the check had been secreted in a.
hollow stump, then followed them
back to Roanoke, where Bryant
entered a bank and presented the
check for payment, asking for
"lots of big bills"
The teller, w. M. Shelton, had
been warned of the plot, police
revealed, and gave Bryant a
dummy package of bills. Bryant
then left the bank and joined
Harvey. At this point the men
were taken into custody.
Police Hold Letters
Bryant's first story was that
he had found the check and took
it to the bank to see if it was
good. Police questioned him at

BY CAPTAIN VAN DUN
Commander of the Dutch Navy
Punitive Squadron

The school system wishes to be
relieved of all responsibility in per-
mitting children to travel any
distance to get lunch during the
noon hour, it was asserted by
school officials today.
In the matter arising out of the
prohibition placed on hungry
children of the Gales, Seaton and
Blake schools, which prevents
them from getting lunch from the
Volunteers of America mission, it
was pointed out that the consent
of parents first should be OBJ
tained.
Miss Mary A. Dilger, principal
of the three schools, who yeSter-
day prevented the children from
going to the mission, was to make
a report to school officials today
explaining her action. ..-

IN PACIFIC

It has been decided to keep
the scouting force of the United
States Navy in the Pacific for
another year, Admiral William v
Pratt, chief of naval operations
announced today.
The decision was not unex.

Although Admiral Pratt stated
it was for reasons of economy
it has been admitted in naval
circles for some time that the

bearing on the fact that both

DIRECT HIT
ON SHIP
Crew Hoists White Flag and
Quits in Lifeboats As
Fire Breaks Out

BATAVIA, Java, Feb. 9
IN.S. ).-Carrying the bodies
of 19 mutineers killed when
Dutch military planes bombed
the captured warship De
Zeven Provincien, the puni-
tive squadron of cruisers and
destroyers steamed back to
port today, victorious in the
bloodiest naval clash in peace
time annals.
The De zeven Provincien was
bombed when the mutineerS re-
fused to surrender promptly after
receiving an ultimatum from
Capt. Van Duin, commander Of
the punitive squadron.
Plane Scores Direct Hit
The punitive squadron encoun-
tered the De Zeven Provincien at
the entrance to Sunda Strait,
which divides Sumatra from Java.
When the mutineers refused to
surrender, Capt. Van Duin ordered
seaplanes to drop one bomb on
the ship.
The aerial bombers scored a
direct hit. The projectile landed
on the bridge, killing 18 mutineers,
including three European marines
and one petty officer, and wound
ing 25 others. Nine of the in
jured were reported in a serious
condition.
Quit Ship In LifebOats
The remaining NUT tineers
capitulated completely after the
bombing, running up white flags
and scrambling into lifeboatS
from which they were picked up.
Information received here indi-
Gated the commander of the De
Zeven Provincien probably would
be relieved of his post due to the
fact he ignored two warnings
from police that mutiny was
brewing aboard his ship.

The ambitious plan of Dem
ocratic House leaders to give
President Roosevelt dictatorial
power over Federal finances
including the right to slash
veterans compensation and all
contracts-collapsed today.
Instead, Senate and House
Democratic fiscal experts began
drafting modified plan which

running high over the proposal,
President Hoover encouraged Re

Representative Smell of New
York, Republican leader, limited
that Republicans viewed the plan
as deep plot to oust all Repub-
licans in the Government and in
stall Democrats in their places.
The new plan, evolved at a con-
ference between Speaker Garner
and Senator Byrnes CD of South
Carolina, and approved by Swagar
Sherley, the President-elect's fiscal
spokesman, would authorize q 10
per cent cut in all appropria.
tions.
This is estimated to save $780,.
000,0 a year and is double the
5 per cent provided by the Sen
ate.

In addition, the President would
have power to cut salaries and
all compensation, except contrac.
tural obligations. Thus the vet

Mr.. Roosevelt, it was learned,

| he will submit legislation to
effect veterans economies. He
holds changes in law first must
be enacted to comply with the

In addition to the new pro-
posal, the new President would
retain power to revise, console
date, and abolish bureaus, subject
to a two thirds veto by Congress.

The original House proposal to
give the next President autocratic
authority over fiscal affairs was
discussed at the White House by
President Hoover, Representative

This defation, he said, proceeded

as measured in commodities.
AS the number Of dollars owed de-

alleviate the debt burden thus actually
making it heavier.
