TENNESSEE SHERIFF OFFERS
TO ARREST LEAS If NORTH
CAROLINA ASSURES FEES
Colonel and Son Expected
to Take New Legal Steps
for Freedom
By JAMES S. BEALLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Feb. %.
6UP).-Shorn of two writs of ha-
beas corpus designed to protect
hem from cxtradition to North
Carolina. Col. Luke Lea and his
son are believed to be preparing
for further legal action at Clarks-
vile.
County Judge E. G. Toilet at
Crossville. Cumberland county,
has notified Lea attorneys that in
view of their transfer from James
town to GAINESVILLE Sunday, he
will decline to have anything
further to do with the case"
His writ of habeaS corpus had
been issued returnablc In his own
court at Crossville February 2Sth.
In disposing of the writ. he said
the moves of the Leas had shown
they were not legally restrained,
a situation necessary for the issu-
ance of the writ.
Another writ of habeas co:pus,
issued within a few hours after
extradition papers had been sign
ed, was voided when Judge Henry
B. Brown. who issued the writ,
disqualified himself and trans
ferred hearing of the case to
Judge J. H. S. Morrison at Taze-
we'll. Judge Morrison promptly
refused to take the case.
"By their own actions the Leas
have Invested themselves of what
ever illegality may have been at
tached to the restraint of Sheriff
John Peavyhouse," Judge Toilets
communication to Lea attorneys
said.
Sheriff Peavyhouse arrested the
Leas at jamestown soon after the
extradition by Gov. Hill McAlis-
ter.
81 decline to have anything fur
Their to do with this proceeding
and to hear the same on February
28th," Judge Toilet continued,
Gas manifestly, the Leas are I'M
der no illegal restraint at all by
Sheriff Peavyhouse and whatever
restraint, if any, the sheriff is ex-
ercising over them is voluntarily
assumed and acquiesced in by the
Leas.
Besides, in my opinion, when
the Leas voluntarily left Fentress
county, not for the purpose of
safekeeping. but for the purpose
of coming into the jurisdiction Of
a resident judge, they forfeited
any right they had to hearing
in this county,"
Meantime, Sheriff w. S. Beau
mont of Montgomery county,
(Clarksville), wired North Caro-
lima officials Offering to arrest the
Leas "who are now in my county
providing the North Carolina au-
thorities would guarantee Jail
fees"
Sheriff Laurence Brown Of
Buncombe county, n. c., where
the Leas were convicted of a
charge of conspiracy to defraud a
bank of $1,275,OO0, declined the
offer, saying Sheriff Beaumont
was Gust handling the affair like
Mr.. Lea wants him to handle it."

DRYS SUMMON
FORCES FOR A
CONFERENCE
Will Lay Grounds for OPP
position to Ratification
at Early Date

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. CUP
Prohibition and repeal forces were
marshalled today for a fight to a
finish.
Seven hundred and fifty .prohi,
bition leaders were called to meet
here on March 7-8 to map plans
for a nationwide campaign. The
preliminary organization is being
handled by the board of temper
ance of the M. E. Church, South.
Vets also were laying their
plans and say it is "only a ques-
ton of how long it will take to
get Sc states to ratify" the Blaine
amendment to the United States
Constitution.
The amendment was submitted
yesterday to the 48 states for
ratification.
Secretary of State Stimson yes
terday mailed certified copies of
the amendment, together with an
explanatory letter. to all state
governors. Acting with unusual
speed. the secretary submitted the
amendment only "a hours after 1t
had been passed by congress.
He requested the governors to
inform the state department when
their respective constitutional con-
ventions had acted on the amend
ment. When SO states have rati-
fled it. the then secretary of state
can proclaim it to be in full eff
feet.
The Blaine amendment was
passed by the house Monday by a
vote of 289 to 121. The senate
previously had passed it.
Stimson signed the letters to
the governors shortly after / p.
m. There was no ceremony. Yet
he was making history. For the
first time in many years of Amer
lean constitutionalism, a secretary
of state was asking the states to
decide whether they should strike
from the constitution an amend
ment they previously had put iE
it.
With his letters, Stimson en-
closed copies of the Blaine amend
ment struck from the same type
as the one acted upon by the
house and senate. They were
identic to every little comma:
Each copy bore the signature of
Speaker John N. Garner, Vice
President Charles Curtis and Ed
win p. Thayer, secretary of the
senate. They bore the great seal
of the state department.

HOUSE FAILS
TO CUT COSTS
l43 MILLIONS
Broad Powers Agreed on
for Roosevelt But Meas
ure's Death Expected
By THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. %. (Up)
Full congressional approval was
given yesterday to granting al
most dictatorial powers to Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt to reorgan-
lie the costly federal government.
The house in accepting provi-
sionS of the senate economy bill
for this purpose voted to shift re-
sponsibility for real government
savings to the incoming eXecu-
tive. Earlier it he'd refused to ap-
prove $167,000,00O in savings
contained in the senate bill.
Roosevelt will have power to
eliminate and merge government
bureaus. but not government de-
partments. His plans can be We
toed only by two-thirds vote of
each branch of congress within 60
days after he orders changes.
Though twitted for its failure
to slash government costs, the
house voted down the Bratton
amendment to the senate econo-
my bill proposing a fiat cut OF five
per cent in federal expenditures
for the fiscal year beginning next
July /. This, in itself, would have
saved S143,OO0,0O0. it is esti-
mated.
Roosevelt will have no power to
touch veterans costs. the larg-
est potential field for economy.
Speaker John N. Garner recently
proposed such power. 1t met with
such a cold reception that no one
offered the speakers plan yester-
day.
There was only one attempt
yesterday to touch veterans ex-
penditures. Rep. William Whit
tington, DEM. Miss. who offered
the Bratton amendment to the
house. revised it to include a five
per cent cut in operating costs of
the veterans administration, in
Guiding compensation, wages and
salaries. The senate provision bans
all salary cuts.
Wilmington struck at the gov
eminent employees salary again in
another amendment extending the
existing eight and One-third per
cent reduction to a fiat IL per
cent as recommended by President
Hoover. But the house voted it
down, and the government worker
went unscathed.
There still will be battle IN
the senate however. over the
economies rejected yesterday. The
economy bill is a rider to the
treasury-post office appropriation
bill. The action yesterday revolved
about the conference report on
the appropriation bill which has
passed both houses.
After the house action, the
measure was sent back to the sem
ate. If the senate refuses to &C
cept the houses decision. the
whole dispute around the econo-
mics then is thrown back to the
conferees of each body.
There is thus a strong posslblll-
tv that the bill may die in confer
ence before congress adjourns on
March A. Enactment at the over.
whelmingly Democratic special
session virtually would be assured.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.--(UP).
A definite movement for the
early convening of. the world
economic conference was visual
lied after President-elect Roose-
welt concluded conversations with
Paul Claudel, ambassador from
France, and William Duncan
Herridge, Canadian minister, last
night.
In addition to the two ENJOYS,
an imposing array Of economists,
headed by Prof. Raymond |.
Moley. marched through the por-
tails of the Roosevelt home to dis.
cuss the subjects and matters re-
lating TO the agenda of the world
conference.
Among advisers Of Mr.. Roose-
welt there was the growing belief
that an attempt would be made
to sidetrack the formal war debts
discussions with England, Italy
and other debtor nations which
paid their December installments
until after trade and economic
issues were thoroughly overhaul
ed in a world parley.
They felt that this country
would then have a much sounder
basis on which to proceed in it's
negotiations looking toward debt
revision. America would have,
it was argued, a complete knowl-
edge of the attitude of the other
countries as to tariff and trade
concessions, and. thus would be
in a more strategic position to
bargain.
While Mr.. Roosevelt said that
his conversations had not pro-
ceeded chat far" his friends
were convinced that the calling
Of the conference. possibly in
Washington, as soon as practical
BILE was one of his aims.
He issued the following COM
muniques yesterday after his
talks with the two ENJOYS:
"After comforting with Secre-
tary Stimson in Washington on
Monday the French ambassador
came to see me in New York to-
day.
ave discussed unofficially all
questions relating to collabora-
ton between France and the
United States in world affairs.
"These included, of course,
the world economic conference
and intergovernmental debts.
These conversations will continue
and the new secretary of state,
after his selection is announced,
will doubtless see M. Claudel.
81 had a delightful meeting
with Mr.. Herridge. the Canadian
minister. This was the first
time I had the privilege Of meet
ing him and we discussed many
matters of mutual interest to
Canada an dthe United States. !"
"Did you discuss reciprocal
trade agreements" he was ask
ed.
81 cannot answer that" Mr..
Roosevelt replied.
Before the foreign representa-
tives came to the Roosevelt home
the president-elect spent several
hours in earnest consultation
with Bernard M. Baruch, who has
been mentioned as the chairman
of the American delegation to
the economic conference; E. E.
Day, Professor Rex Ford Tug
well, Charles w. Taussig and
others.
The president-elect said there
was no especial significance to
the meeting with Claudel and
Herridge. Sources close to Mr..
Roosevelt explained that they
came to New York merely to
smooth the path ii discussion of
foreign affairs that are sched-
ulad after March d.
