L|NDY SEA HOP
DUE TODAY

BATHURST, Gambia, British
West Africa, Dec. 5 G.N.SO.-De-
MED by nature the choppy water
surface necessary for the take-off
of their heavily-loaded seaplane,
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind
bergh today considered providing
it artifically.
Already held here for more than
two full days after they first tried
to start their 1,8OO-mile hop over
the South Atlantic to Brazil, the
Lindberghs sought some means of
eliminating the CLASSY smoothness
of the Gambia River, which, by
suction on the pontoons, has kept
the plane from taking the air.
With the tropical calm still pre-
vailing the LindberghS were ad-
vised by local authorities of two
measures which have been helpful
in the past.
Some fliers have been able to
get away on an otherwise calm
surface by having motor boats
speed around in circles to churn
up the water, while others, with
smaller planes, have themselves
put artificial waves on the water
by first taxing their craft around
in circles before trying the actual
take-off.

OHIO To SPEED
REPEAL VOTE

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Dec. 5
G.N.SD 1t fell to the lot of
Ohio, home State of prohibitions
staunchest advocate-the Anti
Saloon League-to cast today one
of the last three votes necessary
for repeal of the national dry
law.
This it stood ready to do with
great despatch when Gov. George
White calls the Constitutional
Repeal Convention to order in the
House of Representatives at the
capitol this afternoon.
The Governors gavel will fall
at / p. m. (E.S.T0 and it was ex-
pected that routine preliminarieS
would not hold up the formal vot-
ing for repeal for more than an
hour.
All delegates to the constitu-
tional convention were elected as
"wetS" when Ohio rejected prohi-
bition by an $4,000 majority on
November 7. There will be 50
delegates, two of whom must be
elected after the convention
meets to fill vacancies caused by
deaths.
Telegraph instruments have
been installed on the speakers
roStrum in the house, so that as
soon as the delegates are polled
the results can be flashed to the
Secretary of State in Washington.
Ohio's State prohibition law
will not expire until December 7,
when the constitutional 30-day
period after the election will have
elapsed. Even then two strict
enforcement laws not automati-
cally repealed will hold back the
tide of legal liquor until repealed
by special session of the legis-
lature convening here tomorrow.

ELECTION
Iniunctions Granted in Three
Parishes; Longs Next Step
Waited by Opponents

HAMMOND, La, Dec. 5
(IN.S.) .).-Plans for holding a
special congressional election
in the sixth district were
abandoned in three parishes
today, according to an an
nouncement by Judge Lee
Ponder, leader of the Huey P.
Long forces.
An injunction prohibiting the
election in the three parishes was
granted by Judge Nat Tycer.
Backed by 800 specially-ap-
pointed deputies, Judge Ponder
said:
eve have faith in Judge /.
Tycer'S ruling and because we
are Iaw-abiding citizens, we have
decided to abandon plans for
holding the election" -@
Long Plans Appeal
Ponder's decision affects only
st. Helena, Livingston, and Tangi,
pahoa parishes.
In the meantime it was re-
ported administration forces in
New Orleans were bringing the
issue before the supreme court in
an effort to have that body over
rule the restraining orders.
Enforcement of Judge Tigers
writ against distributing of bal
lots to polling places brought the
first gunfire of the revolt last
night when men on a truck, be
lieved to be loaded with election
literature, successfully fought it
out with so deputies and citizens
at Denham Springs. The truck
then made its entrance into Liv,
ingSton parish.
Although a score or more shots
were exchanged, no one was in
jured so far as is known.
Ballots Set on Fire
This battle followed another
ballot bonfire in the main street
of Denham Springs, where bal
lots, bearing only the name of
Mrs. Kemp, went up in smoke
after citizens had taken them
from a storehouse at Centerville
seat of Livingston parish.
There was an air of tenseness
over the IL parishes of the dis
trict as armed citizens and some
300 specially-appointed deputies
prepared to enforce count injunc,

.NRS.R00SEVE[T7 DRYS DEFEATED
REMAINS DRY IN COURT MOVE

Drys were defeated today in a
last-minute attempt to halt re-
peal by a decision of Justice F.
D. Let's in District Supreme Court.
A petition of Canon William
Sheafe Chase, of Brooklyn, and
the Rev. George S. Duncan, of this
city, seeking a writ to stop Act
ing Secretary of State William
Phillips from issuing a proclama-
tion on the repeal amendment,
was dismissed by the justice.
In his opinion, Justice Let's
stated that the act of the Secre-
tary of State in making the proc
lamation was purely ministerial
and that he had no other course
but to take this action upon re-
ceipt of the notification that the
thirty-SixCh State had ratified the
amendment.
Regarding the petitioners con-
tention that ratifying conventions
of some States were not represen-
tative, the opinion stated:
"It is their theory that the
delegates to such conventions
under pledge or instructions
were deprived of the privilege to
debate and deliberate. These
questions may perhaps have
been properly raised in the
States, but it would be vain to
consider them here after the
conventions have acted, for as
herein indicated, the prOcIama-
ton of the Secretary is in no
sense necessary to the validity
of the amendment"

ALDR|CH PLAN
FOR BANKING
REFORM HIT
Scheme Would Put Bankers
in Straitjacket, Senator
Tells Pr0berS
BY international News Service

The 100000 retirement pay
given Albert H. Wiggin by
the Chase National Bank was
a direct violation of law, Sena-
tor Carter Glass (D.) of Vir-
ginia charged today at the
Senate banking inquiry.
Glass said the banks directors
violated not only the statutes of
New York state but direct court
decisions.
Glass sharply criticized the
banking reform program of Win
throp W. Aldrich, head of the
Chase now. Glass said Aldrich
sought to place the whole bank
ing profession in a "straitjacket"
because of malpractices Of a few
bankers.
Huey Long Attacked
Glass also charged that Sen
ator Huey Long CD of Louisiana,
chief foe of the original Glass
bill, conferred with Charles S.
Mccain, chairman of the board
Of the Chase bank, while the
measure was under consideration
in the Senate. He referred to
Long as the "chief opponent of
the measure, who threatened to
filibuster the bill to death"
Glass added:
"Certain bankers, opposing
restrictive features in the bill,
threatened to defeat the legis-
latiOn unless it was modified.
They joined forces with those
who opposed branch banking,
even though they favored
branch banking, in order to
defeat the bill"
Aldrich Admits "Mistake"
Aldrich confessed the board of
directors of the Chase bank now
believe the payment of the $780,
900 retirement pay to Wiggin was
q "mistake." He added:
"There were a great many
things brought out here that
the board never knew about"
Glass declared Aldrich's bank
ing reforms were not "pertin-
ent" to the banking inquiry
Senator Fletcher Cd of Florida,
committee chairman, disagreed,
saying he felt Aldrich's recon-
mendation for divorce of bank
affiliates was entirely pertinent.
Glass said:
"In that respect Mr.. AID
rich has brought in a carcass,
instead of something alive.
We have abolished them, over
thc protest of New York bank
SrS."
Wiggin Forced Out
Aldrich frankly revealed he had
forced Wiggin's retirement from
the Chase Bank because of a
controversy over the latter's bank
ing methods.
In giving Wiggin retirement
pay Aldrich insisted the banks
directors had acted on the "ad-
vice of counsel"
He denied it was a pension and
declared it was a Contract"
which enabled the bank to obtain
Wiggin's banking advice at any
time.

GIRL s DEATH
RALL|ESMO
ON SHORE
Princess Anne Rumor False,
Crowd Disperses;; Staying
or Suicide in Doubt

PRINCESS ANN, Md, Dec.
5.-With the cause of her
death still undetermined, the
body of pretty Emily Morris,
2O-year-old girl found dead a
mile from her home yesterday
after being missing since last
Friday, will be buried in the
cemetery at Reh0beth this
afternoon.
No inquest into the girls death
will be held until a report is re-
ceived from a Baltimore chemist,
where portions of the girls stom-
ach were sent for examination
Mob, But No Victim
Rumors went flying around the
countryside last night that the
girl had been slain and that a
colored man had admitted the
crime.
A mob of men assembled ir
Delaware and drove to Princess
Anne with the avowed INTENTION
of lynching the killer. Arrived
there, however, they learned tina
the cause of death is still undeter
mined and that no arrests hat
been made. The mob member
then returned to their homes.
Possibility of suicide was seer
when it was rumored the gir
had a package of poison in hel
possession. It also was learned
that while a bag of candy wa!
on the ground beside her body
when it was discovered, the bae
later disappeared mysteriously.
EIOpement Is Denied
Edward Morris, father of the
dead girl, said there was no rea
son for her to have taken hel
life, as she was in excellent
health and high spirits. HI
denied reports the family be
lieved the girl had eloped with
a Salisbury youth, stating thai
she had no boy friends.
When she left home Friday
he said, she was expected to visit
relatives in Princess Anne. Since
then nothing was heard from
her until two colored men found
her body late yesterday.
The body was in a thicket
about so yards off a little tray
eled road and about 100 yards
from a house where the colored
family lives.
No Marks of Violence
An autopsy performed by
county authorities last night re-
vealed the girl had not been
criminally attacked.
Sheriff Luther Daugherty ex-
pressed the belief the girl had
been murdered, saying:
"There are some things about
this case that do not look
right to me-"
