on night sessions next week in an e.
fort to hasten a final vote.
Thus the Senate slid back into the
rut of inaction in which the hlicuster
had trapped it for eight days, and
found the voluntary agreement for Inn
itation of debate, reached Thursday.
after a move for cloture had failed, was
virtually meaningless.
Under this arrangement debate has
been restricted to one hour for each
Senator on the bill itself and half
hour on each amendment. A check-up
revealed that 63 amendments were pend
ing. Thus with only four Senators par
ticipating in the filibuster the Senate
could be tied up for weeks, even If no
additional amendments are proposed,
and the possible number OF these Is
almost without limit.
Although denying his flibuster was in
full swing again, Long initiated no less
than six quorum calls during the day
and made an attempt, which was
blocked by Senator Barbour. Republic
can, C w Jersey, to have read a
huge pile OF kilograms in opposition to
the bill.
Glass entered no objection because
he said the debate-limiting agreement
isn't worth the paper it is written on. +"
After the Senate adjourned. Glass
said he would not be surprised If an
other cloture motion were presented.

PALMYRA, N. j., January al
Failure of servants to identify a hat
found in Bradway Browns garage soon
after his body was discovered in the
living room of his home indicated,
police said today, the presence Of 1T
least one other man at the scene the
night the young Philadelphia business
man was fatally shot.
The hat, three sizes smaller than that
usually worn by Brown, lay only few
feet from the victims. At first. the
smaller hat was identified by Ellis
Parker, chief Of Burlington County de-
tectives, as having been purchased by
Brown by mistake. His wife and two
servants, however, said they had never
seen it before.

the best interests of both either by ad-
justing downward the farmers inbedt-
edness or extending it over a period Of
years.
Local men familiar with the farmers
of their section, their regulations and
individual troubles, as well as those of
their creditors, would be employed as
cOnciliation commissioners.
They would function in all of the
Nations 2,911 agricultural counties
One commissioner in each judicial dis
trict would be paid salary, but others
would serve without compensation ex-
cept for an allowance Of 81 a day ex-
penses and cents mile for travelling.
The farmer seeking an adjustment
through the conciliation commission
would be protected against mortgage
foreclosure during the pendency of the
proceedings. An emergency measure,
the legislation would cover q flve-year
period
In presenting his plan to the Senate,
Robertson said the number of farmers
who would seek this relief from their
debts would be beyond the power of the
present bankruptcy referee system to
handle.
In reply to critics. proponents Of the
legislation already have pointed out the
plan involves use Of many existing
facilities in order to save expense and
that the advice Of the conciliation
commissioner would be available free
of charge to the farmer, thus saving
him the legal expenses involved In
bankruptcy.
That the presence of President-elect
Roosevelt in the city Thursday and
Friday gave new impetus to the farm
relief campaign became more evident
today.
In talk with Senator McNary, Re-
publican Of Oregon, chairman of the
Senate Agricultural Committee, Mr..
Roosevelt made It clear that he wants
the domestic allotment bill passed at
the present session even though Presi-
dent Hoover kills 1t with q veto. The
committee took it up again today. Sen
ator Smith of South Carolina, ranking
Democratic member, told reporters that
it might be reported out within q week.

LONDON, January 21.-Great Brit
aims chancellor of mystery, picturesque
Montagu Norman, governor Of the Bank
Of England, sprang the latest surprise
this morning when his marriage to
Miss Priscilla Worsthorne followed
within a few hours the announcement
of their engagement.
Just II minutes after the marriage
could legally occur today he arrived at
the dingy Chelsea district registry office
for the ceremony. While Mr.. Norman
rolled up quite openly in salon car,
his fiance's arrival was more secret.
So was the disappearance Of the bride
and bridegroom after they were mar
ried. They slipped quietly out OF a
back door and vanished.
Speculation on Date.
The newspapers of London were still
resounding with news Of the engage
ment of the 6l-year- -old banker to his
33-year -old flance. and speculation as
to the probable date Of their marriage
was stiil being indulged in at London
breakfast tables when the ceremony was
performed. With Mr.. Norman, when he
entered the side door Of the registers S
ofice, was an elderly woman, believed
to be his mother. another woman rel
ative, and Sir Mark Collett, uncle Of
the bridegroom.
A few persons in the registers ONCE
got hurried glimpse Of the Bank OF
England's governor as he dashed into
the ONCE pulling the collar Of his heavy
fur coat about his ears. How the bride
reached the office is still a mystery
Shortly after she arrived, Sir Mark and
the two ladies emerged and departed.
but the newly weds had already mo-
tored away to q destination which was
not divulged.
Day Away From Business.
Mr. Norman did not 60 to any busi-
ness yesterday. remaining in the coun-
try where it was stated he was slightly
unwell" Mrs. Norman, who Is daugh-
ter of Lady Alice Reyntiens, with whom
she lived in Cadogan square, spent yes
terday at the county hall-she being a
member Of the London County Council
and visiting welfare clinics In which
she takes great interest.
Mr. Norman's proverbial delight In
playing the game Of metaphysical hide
and SEEK" caused him to neglect to tell
even his housekeeper Of the proposed
wedding, not to mention his colleagues
at the bank.

the firms premises by strikers, espe-
cially the Yokohama incident this week,
further increased the acrimony In the

While the article designates the
speaker as an "ofiicial Of the company"
1t Is no secret here that the critic Of
the conduct of the American Govern
ment is one of the Britishers who di-
rect the company's affairs here as well
as In the rest Of the world.
His chief complaint is that, though
the embassy made frequent representa-

the trouble started, the embassy should
have reported with greater frequency to
q company of such importance as the

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A sort Of . glorified Boy Scout
movement" is being promoted here by
Ben B. Lindsey Of Los Angeles, former
Denver Juvenile Court judge. as a way
to aid idle and homeless youths.
Lindsey, who has been talking the
matter over with Senators Cutting. Re-
publican. of New Mexico; Costigan,
Democrat, of Colorado; La Toilette.
Republican, of Wisconsin. and others,
has a plan in mind of getting the boys
into the Placer Mining Camp areas
a few dollars in producing what he
smilingly terms a "non-competitive'
product.
Or they could be put into the forests
or somewhere else where they could
work, he said.
Seeks Federal Aid.
"The Government could grubstake
these boys. or the States could do it
with Federal aid" Lindsey explained.
They could be kept In concentration
camps, with Army equipment fur
nished. along with discipline-but I
don't think much Of the latter would
be needed"
Lindsey, whose 20 years OF work in
the Juvenile Court won him fame, smil-
ingly conceded there are lots of de-
tails to BE- v:orked out" Whether 1t
would be Practical he has not deter
mined definitely.
But it's an idea that he feels merits
consideration. Lindsey said he talked II
over some days ago with President-elect
Roosevelt, adding he felt the incoming
Chief Executive was most sympathetic"
toward anything that could aid the
youth OF the country.
He suggested come to Washington
and discuss it with Senator Cutting and
some OF the other Senators here who
are interested in relief movements, -
Lindsey continued, so here I am
Saddened by Sight.
There Is no sadder thing now con-
nected with the economic depression
than the wastage Of the Nations youth
On q drive through the West you will
see things along the road that tug at
your heart.
What have in mind Is q sort OF
glorified Boy Scout movement. It would
mean stopping the development of GRIM
inals and possibly help answer the prob
lem Of conserving the young manhood
OF the Nation"
