Ruth White, Senior at College,
Grieved Year Over Death
of Fiance, Julian Peters

Believed respondent over the
death of her boy friend, Miss
Ruth White, 21-year-old senior
at George Washington Univer-
sity, died today of gas poison
ing after she was found uncon-
scious in her sorority room in
the 1000 block G st. N. w,
with four gas jets turned on.
The girl, prominent in uni
versity circles, died in Emergency
Hospital about 1890 o'clock to-
day, after the fire rescue squad
and physicians from Emergency
Hospital had worked on her for
about two hours.
She was found earlier crouched
in chair near stove in the
Alpha Delta Pi room. A poem
written on school stationery, en-
titled Somewhere" had ap-
parently dropped from her lap
to the floor.
Pair Met Last Year
Miss Janice Hale, a sorority
sister, of the 4400 block Hunt
Ave-, Chevy Chase, Md, dis
covered Miss White who was re-
moved to rear porch and given
artificial respiration. Physicians
from Emergency Hospital and Act
ing Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald were uncertain during all
that time as to whether the girl
was alive or dead. She died al
most Immediately after reaching
the hospital.
Miss White was believed morose
over the death of Julian B.
Peters, of Rockville, Md, who ac-
cidentally shot himself April 4.
Friends of the girl told police
she had met Peters last summer
while working as a waitress at
Normandy Farm, Md.
During her four years at George
Washington, Miss White HAD been
active in athletics. This year she
was named manager of the girls
rifle team, after having served
on the team since 1881. \She was
also a member of the Women's
Athletic Association, and had
been on the Hatchet. weekly col
lege paper, since 1880. She was
to have been graduated this year.
Pair 1weethearts
She made her home in Spring
field, Va, and commuted to
school daily.
According to- friends Of Julian
B. Peters, Rockville athlete, who
was killed April 4, Miss White
was his fiancee.
Peters stumbled over his gun
and shot himself through the
heart behind the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Fountain Peters, near Glen.
He had told his brother he was
going to kill a hawk. In the
absence of any note or reason
for the act, a doctor issued a
certificate Of accidental death in
Peters case.

BILL, BUT
|NVA|N
House Vote Today or Tonight
Is Prospect; Signing Due
Thursday or Friday

A hopeless battle against
The initiation rider to the farm
bill was waged in the House
today by Republican leaders,
who frankly admitted their
chief hope is to "educate" ="
the country to the dangers of
expansion.
After a dispute with the Re-
publicans and several times chang
ing their positions, the Demo-
cratic leaders were undecided on
the time to can up the vote.
Chairman Pou, of North Carolina,
set the vote for today, while Rep
resentative Byrns of Tennessee,
Democratic leader, asked that
vote be taken tonight.
Representative Smell of New
York, Republican leader in the
House, headed the attack against
the vast power granted the PreSi-
dent in the initiation rider.
Short Delay Seen
The net effect of the Republi-
can fight-unless a deadlock re-
suits from Administration opposi-
ton to Senate amendments to
the farm relief bill-appeared to
be. a delay of President Roose-
velt's signature to the bill until
Thursday or Friday.
Although Democratic House
leaders acceded to the Republi-
can demand for time to discuss
the measure, they insisted upon
a special rule which bars the
right Of amendment.
Smell and his followers an
nounced they accepted the pro-
vision giving the President power
to request the Federal Reserve
Board to pour $4,000, 100000 into
the purchase of Government
bonds to expand credit and thus
stimulate business.
Gold Tinkering Hit
They assailed provisions per-
mitting the President to reduce
the gold content of the dollar by
SO per cent, issue $4,000, ,O00, 900
in Treasury notes, and accept up
to $500, 10000 in silver in pay
ment of foreign debts.
While the conservative leaders
denounced the measure, many of
the rabid inflationistS in the
House attacked the proposal
because it does not go far
enough.
The "Silver bloc" in vain sought
the right to offer an amendment
for coinage Of vast quantities of
silver while the bonus bloc" like
wise clamored without success for
the right to include cash pay
ment.
Representative Steagall CD of
Alabama, chairman of the House
Banking Committee, was desig-
mated to lead Democratic forces
for the initiation proposal.

Aflame from head to feet, he
rushed outside in panic. He was
severely burned. His wife and
the four children were trapped

The mother had mistaken gaso-
line for paraffin before retiring

BRANCH BANKS
SEEN ON GAIN

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
Z O.N.S0.-Branch banking Is
rapidly coming into favor in the
United States, DR.. John M. Chap
man, associate professor Of bank
ing at Columbia University, de-
clared today at the University Of
Virginia's annual meeting Of the
Institute of Public Affairs.
Since branch banking is pro-
hibited in many States. and
through failure Of unit institut-
tions, a great number of COM
munities are without banking IA
cilities, Chapman said. He stated:
with the changing methods
and practices Of business enter
prise, one may normally expect
our banking system to undergo
fundamental notifications.
Recent changes in State
bank legislation in several
States definitely marks q trend
in favor of some form of branch
banking. In all of the recent
.enactments of State laws rela-
tive to branch banking, branches
have been limited to the city or
county Of the parent bank. In
the course of time this area will
widen and the number Of
branches increase"

G.N.S0. President Roosevelt
spent the Fourth of July afloat.
aboard the Navy cruiser Indi-

off the Naval Academy docks in
Chesapeake Bay.
He rested most Of the day,
snatching last IL hours Of
vacation at the taib end Of a
yachting cruise which took him
northward to his New Brunswick
summer home, Campobello.
Studies Cabinet Reports
The President had before him
reports on the progress made by
his Cabinet members and other
aides on his industrial recovery
program, but did not give them
a great deal Of his time today.
Under present plans, Mr.. Roose.
velt was to return to the White
House late today. Tomorrow he
will be back at his desk. Mrs.
Roosevelt was tentatively ex-
pected aboard the Indianapolis
for lunch and probably will motor
back to the Capital with the
President.
Federal projects proposed un-
der the industrial recovery pro-
gram will get first place on the
Presidents working schedule.
Secretary of Interior Ickes has
submitted a list of public works
projects. All of them listed are
those which Ickes and Roper de-
cided could be started at once.
Ickes has called the public works
committee Of the recovery organi-
zation, which he heads, for meet
ing on Thursday.
To Avoid Overhead
It appeared probable that the
projects to be started shortly
would not include Federal build
ings. It was felt that construction
on buildings would, after their
