The railroad code situation smacks
OF somewhat the same inner condi-
ton. As soon as the railroads agree
not to press their demands for Is
per cent wage cut, there will be less
talk about getting them in under a
code.
There Is q new high official in the
N. r. A. who was one of the original
technocracy boys. They were the ones,
you may remember, who got lot Of
attention two years ago with their
idea of a new super-state. The fact
that their idea has been so soon for
gotten shows how far we have pro-
gressed.
They thought up brilliant scheme
in Washington to curtail drinking A
regulation was adopted preventing
drinks from being mixed in sight Of
patrons. The only result is that the
patrons get everything from dish
water to eau de cologne under the
guise OF liquor.
There Is a movement afoot to award
a temperance prize to the whisky
dealers because they have done more
in that line than any one else by
being unable to get their prices down.

Conference at White House.
Observers assumed that yesterdays
White House conference, which served
as round table for the entire airmail
situation, discussed among other
things the advisabiIity of turning the
mails as quickly as possible back to
private companies. officials were
known to be anxious to accomplish
this before further accidents marred
the Army mail activities.
Those present were Senator Robin
son of Arkansas, the Democratic
leader; McKellar, chairman Black of
the Senate Airmail Investigation
Committee, Cummings and Harlee
Branch, Second Assistant Postmaster
General.
The Senate Post Office Committee
made plans for bringing the per-
manent bill quickly to the floor for
action. Members expressed hope that
, the measure could be reported in the
! next few days.
Both Democrats and Republicans
were agreed however, that some of its
most stringent provisions would be
revised. Among its severe critics have
been Senators Bailey of North Caro-
| lima, OMahoney of Wyoming and
| Logan of Kentucky, Democratic COM
mtttee members.
Bailey Voices Stand.
Bailey announced that II the clause
| barring from bidding companies who
assert claims against the Government
for recent contract cancellation were
left in the measure he would oppose
it on the floor. There is virtual
agreement that it will be dropped.
Criticism from both sides of the
committee also has been leveled at
! the bills prohibition of intercom-
pany affiliations, and it is generally
believed this and other provisions may
be modified.
One of the changes which the COM
n1ittee is expected to make is the in
sertion of a clause requiring first
class passenger equipment for mail
carriers. AS the bill is now drafted
it merely gives the Secretary of Com
merce authority to prescibe such
| equipment.

BY the Associated Press.
LIMA, Ohio, March l9.-Louis P.
Piquett, Chicago attorney who came
here to defend Russell Clark, Dillinger
gangster, in a first degree murder
trial, was himself charged with at
tempted bribery and disorderly con-
duct in Municipal Court today.
Piquett pleaded not guilty to both
charges and was released to his local
attorney. Francis w. Durbin. At the
same time in Common Pleas Court,
Clark. a tall dour man, was brought
in and placed in the same chair which
Harry Pierpont and Charles Makley
have occupied for the past two weeks.
Death Penalty Sought.
Both Pierpont and Makley were
found guilty of numbering Sheriff Jess
L. Sarber in a raid on the county
jail here last October to liberate John
Dillinger The verdict in both cases
was death in the electric chair.
The State is seeking the death pen
atty for Clark in connection with the
same crime.
The charges against Piquett, who
was Dillinger's attorney at Crown
Point, Ind, before Dillinger made his
escape, were filed by Police Chief
Ward Taylor here. They grew out of
Piquett's detention here Saturday
night after he had arrived In Lima
to associate himself with counsel for
Clark.
In an affidavit Chief Taylor charged
that Piquett offered him 500 to pro-
cure his release from the city Jail
According to Chief Taylor, the offer
was made yesterday in the presence
Of Mayor A. L. Metheany.
Mother Is Present.
Attorney Clarence c. Miller, counsel
for Clark, this morning objected to
proceeding with the trial on the
ground that Clark did not believe in
capital punishment and jurors who
held similar beliefs were excluded
from the service. Common Pleas
Judge E. E. Everett overruled the OBJ
lection.
Mrs May Clark of Detroit was pres
ent in court at the trial table with
her son. She said Clark was in De-
troit at the time of the shooting here
Judge Everett excused 81 prospec-
tive jurors out Of panel of so today
because of their views on capital pun
ishment. A special venire of 40 was
then called to insure enough jurors for
the case. After these formalities court
was adjourned until tomorrow.

PAY BILL BOOSTS
|RK ROOSEVELT
Woodrum Announces White
House DispIeased After
ParIey With President.

President Roosevelt is still dis
pleased with the amount of the in
dependent Offices appropriation bill
which carried restoration of the
Federal employees pay cut and in
creased veterans benefits, according
to Representative Woodrum, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, chairman of the
appropriations subcommittee in
charge of the bill. Woodrum con-
ferred with the President at the
White House today.
While the Virginia Representative
declined to comment on the opinions
expressed by the President, he made it
plain the President is not pleased with
the tremendous boost in the amount of
the appropriation carried in the bill.
Woodrum, summoned by the Presi-
dent to discuss the figures involved,
said afterward he told the President
the bill now contains $288,000,00
above the budget allowance.
He told the President that this in
ationS and the increased veterans
benefits, and that in addition to this
total increase there is, approximately,
an increase of $50, 900, 900 or SOS 5,0OO.-
900 contained in items requested by
the Budget Bureau.
Conferees Meet Wednesday.
Woodrum told the President that
the House and Senate conferees who
are to whip the bill into shape for a
compromise will meet Wednesday.
Senator Byrnes, who returned this
morning from South Carolina, said
Senator Glass Of Virginia, chairman
of the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, could not be present today
and that Representative Woodrum
would have to be away tomorrow, thus
delaying the conference until Wednes-
day.
The two branches of Congress are
not far apart on the question of pay
restoration and an early agreement
on that part of the independent Of
fees bill is likely.
Must Agree on Veterans.
Final action on the bill, however.
cannot be taken until all questions,
including the veterans allowances,
are settled.
With regard to salaries, the Senate
voted to restore per cent of the IS
per cent as of February ! and all of
the remainder on July !. The House
last week recorded itself in favor Of
the per cent restoration as Of Feb
ruary l and another per cent on
July l. leaving one-third of the cut
in effect until the President finds
price levels justify its return. This
latter proposal was preferred by The
administration forces in the Senate
and the House probably will WIN cut
on this program In conference.
Senate More Liberal.
The veterans amendments present
a more difficult problem for the con-
ferees. The main issues in conference
will be how far to go restoring bene-
fits to Spanish War veterans and to
presumptive disability cases in the
World War On both of these pro-
posals the Senate took more liberal
action than the House. but the House
provisions are fairly close to the pro-
gram supported by the administration
group in the Senate.
II the conferees make good head
way when they assemble Wednesday
they may have a report ready for
submission to the House and Senate
by the end Of the week.
