recede from the Vinson amendment
restoring 10 per cent of the Is per cent
Federal pay cut.
BY this move, Connery unsuccess-
fully sought to have the House reverse
itself and adopt the Senate amend
ment to restore the full Is per cent.
Hold Breath at Roll Call.
Members literally held their breath
as the roll call proceeded and when
Speaker Rainey was handed the first
vote he saw the administration had
been defeated by 100 to 189. But he
withheld the vote and ordered the
recapitulation, the first in many years.
Representative O'Conner, Democrat
of New York, at the conclusion of the
recapitulation, asked the Speaker If
any one could change his vote before
the result was announced and received
an affirmative answer.
The chamber was silent for a second
and the Speaker raised his gavel prep
aratory to announcing the vote, when
Kennedy dramatically arose and
changed his vote.
The House had voted Wednesday,
223 to 1872, in favor of the Taber COM
promise, which it advocates claim will
be accepted by the Senate and prob
ably by the President
Most of the veterans bloc leaders
favored the Taber compromise and
fatty stated to the House that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would veto the In.
dependent Offices bill If the Senate
amendments boosting its total 1884,
100000 were ..dopted and sent to the
White House.
One hundred and three Democrats
Joined eighty-one Republicans and five
Farmer-Laborites in supporting Con-
nery'S move, tantamount to a vote for
the Senate veterans amendment, while
172 Democrats and 18 Republicans
voted against.
Democratic Leaders Jubilant.
The result was an occasion of jubi-
lation for the relieved Democratic
leaders, who have been defeated re-
peatedly of late by insurgents within
veterans proposals and bonus votes.
After the back-slapping and cheer
ing died down. Representative Wood
rum, Democrat, of Virginia, obtained
unanimous consent to send the vet
erans' amendment to conference.
Speaker Rainey appointed Wood
rum chairman of the House commit
tee which will meet next week with
Senate committee to remove diff
ferences between the two branches.
While Woodrum earlier made 1t
clear that the conferees would be d.
rected by the action of the House in
their conference, the purpose is to
reach compromise that will be sat-
isfactory to the President.
The Taber compromise restores IS
per cent of the benefits to disabled
World War veterans and $4,000 pre-
sunptlve cases to the rolls in addi-
ton to increasing Spanish-American
War veterans pensions, which were
stricken out by the economy act
passed last year.
The pay restoration proposal of
Representative Vinson, Democrat, of
Georgia adopted by the House restores
a third of the Is per cent pay cut
as of February 1 and a third on July
/. It was estimated to cost about
s28, ,o00, 900 until June 80 and $685.
600, 900 in the next fiscal year, COM
pared with the Senate's full restora-
ton to cost $3.50 900 900.

NAILS REvIvINC
ANTI-SEMITISM,
JEWS DECLARE
Fear They May Be Made
Butt of Sensation to
Restore Interest.

By United Press
BERLIN, June 15.-Fear that
they may be made the butt of q
sensation to revive enthusiasm in
the Nazi cause has produced in
creased nervousness among German
Jews.
For months after the first anti
Jewish campaign, the matter was
dropped except for an occasional
reference in a speech, but with
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels leading the attack and
Nazi speakers and organs through
out Germany trailing after, anti
Semitism again has come to the
fore.
Jews fear that failure of business
to keep peace with Nazi promises
Of improvement may be laid at their
door, and they point in proof to
several recent developments.
First came the famous ritual
murder number" of the "Stormer,"
organ of the Nazi leader julius
Streicher in Nuremberg, charging a
Jewish plot to kill Chancellor Hitler
and listing 131 alleged Jewish ritual
murders between the years 1859 B. C..
and 1882.
Jews protested to Hitler against
the issue, which finally was confis-
Gated because of an editorial note
referring to the Christian sacra-
ment.
Then on May II, Goebbels, speak
ing in the crowded Berlin sport pal
ace warned that eff Jews don't be-
have as guests, they must blame
themselves for the consequences"
He suggested it would be unwise for
the Jews to become arrogant
again." adding:
IF the boycott becomes a danger
to the nation then Jews abroad
must not believe we will let the
Jews go Scot free. Hatred and
rage will seize those available" !

LOW RATE SEEN
FOR n, !, LOAN

The State of New York prob-
ably will be able to borrow at q
record low interest cost basis on
the occasion of the sale next
week of $3O,OOO,OO0 relief bonds,
due in one to 10 years, the short
maturities of the forthcoming
issue and the current strength
of the municipal market bond
men anticipate an unusually low
coupon rate which bidders are
to name.
Early in April the State sold
$50,00O,00O serial bondS-the larg-
est flotation in 20 year-at the
record low interest cost basis Of
2.88 per cent. The bonds were
purchased as 234s and IS. A year
ago bonds with similar coupons
were sold at an average interest
cost to the State of 2.93 per cent.
On the occasion of the April
sale Comptroller Norris S. Tre-
maine expressed the belief that
had he delayed the flotation six
weeks he would have been able
to borrow at still more favor
able rate and the subsequent
trend of State and municipal
prices has confirmed his judg.
ment.
Reoffering of the April issue,
which was purchased by City
Company of New York, Inc, First
National Bank of New York,
Guaranty Company, Bankers
Trust Company, Brown Bros,
Hartman & Co., and First of
Boston Corporation, was made to-
yield 1a of 1 per cent to 3 per

President Angel, in delivering the

the great economic and political
problems can be had unless there
is q change in the realism and

outlook at least as profound as
the changes which have been
proposed for industry, agriculture,
commerce and finance.
Speaking on The Moral I'm.

D. G. Court Ruling

'It is one Of the leading
maxims in equity that a per-

whether a deed or will, with.
out giving full Seffect to that
instrument as far as he cam
IF the testator gives what is
not his property, but which he
SuppOSeS to be his, and gives
to the person whose property
it is an interest by his will,
that person will not be permit
ted to defeat the disposition
where it is in his cSwer. and
yet take under the will; and
the same rule applies, though
the teStatOr knew he had no
right to dispose Of the lands,
and yet knowing it, takes upon
himself to dispose Of them
'No principles are better es-
tabliShed by authority than the

Moves For Dismissal

To this bill Of complaint the de-
fendant filed a motion to dismiss,
contending, among other things,
that the property in question was
owned by the teStator and his wife
as joint tenants, that the testator
died possessed Of no real property,
and that because Of such circum-
stances recited in the bill to the
effect that the property in ques-
ton was held as joint tenants by
the deceased and his wife, the said
property passed by virtue OF law
absolutely to the wife and, there
fore, was not part Of the deceased
estate; that, therefore, the devise
of the property in question was
void, the title to the property hav'
ing become vested absolutely in
the wife the moment Of the tesla
tors death.
The above motion came on for
hearing before Mr.. Justice Bailey.
The essential facts Of this case
as disclosed by plaintiffs bill and
admitted by defendants motion to
dismiss, present a simple case OF
election, namely, that we have
intestator's will an instrument
which, by general devise to Maggie
Walen, said testator's wife, gave
her the life interest in certain
first trust notes and at the same
time devised to plaintiff the fee
simple remainder of the real prop.
erty here involved, which real es.
tate, having been jointly owned
by testator and his wife, became
hers absolutely and in fee simple
on his death.
We have, therefore, a case. In
which a devisee is left certain
property under q will, which in
strument at the same time dis
poses Of certain other property
owned by such devisee to another,
SO that such deviSee is forced TO
elect whether she will take the
property devised her under the will
and give effect to same by carry.
ing out it's other terms dispoSing
of property already owned by her,
or whether she will take against
the will, retaining her own prop
serty and relinquishing the devise.
The doctrine of election applicable
to such facts is well established
and has been carefully elaborated
by learned text writer's and numer.
GUS decisions.

YOUNGSTOWN s
RATE To DROP

Steel plant operations in the
Youngstown district are expected
to dip 3 points to 81 per cent Of
capacity, from 65 per cent in the
past week, although shipments Of
seel are continuing uninterrupted.
Steel consumers are taking full
shipments of their second quarter
tonnage and ingot production in
the Mahoning and Shenango val
leys is unlikely to drop below so
per cent for at least two more
weeks. The possibility that the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers will carry
out its postponed strike threats
unless recognition of the union is
granted by district steel companies
so far has had no effect on steel
production. The 81 per cent rate
forecast for next week compares
with Sc per cent three years ago.
Survey Of valley mills shows
that virtually no steel is being
stocked, as in periods preceding
mill walkouts in the past. A ma
jority Of steel workers in the Ma
honing Valley, benefiting from two
pay raises, the establishment of
the 40-hour week and other ad-
vantageS obtained during the last
year, are clearly opposed to any
strike. Meanwhile district mills
are operating So of SO open-hearth
furnaces, against 81 a week ear
lier.
For the last few days one dis.
trict plant has operated all of its
IS open-hearthS at a rate exceed
ing 100 per cent Of rated capacity.
Barring an unexpected tie UP Of
business through labor troubles, a
fair rate Of mill operations Is
looked for after July / when
higher steel prices 60 into effect.

LEGAL NEWS---COURT DECISION
Right to Contest Will
Denied Beneficiary

The Supreme Court Of the
United States has long recognized
the rule that a person cannot
hold under and against a will
Chief Justice Marshall said:
'It is q maxim in a court Of
equity not to permit the same
person to hold under and
against q WILL" Herbert v.

And in Smithsonian InStitu
ton v. Meecn, 1859 U. S. 398, Il

Justice Brewer, quoting from Red
field on Wills, said:
Although the teStator has
no legal power to dispose Of
the property Of another, yet
If he assumes to do 50 by his
will, and such person accepts
q devise or bequest under the
will, it will be a confirmation
of such disposition of his own
property by the testator.'
In McElfresh v. Scheley, 2
Gill, 10000; Al Am. Dec. AIS,
the court said: Tt is only carry
ing out a plain intent of the
testator, and giving to the resid-
uary devisee that which the
testator intended, and forbid
ing the heir from taking prop
erty not designed for him. From
the earliest case on the subject
the rule is, that a man shall
not take a benefit under a will,
and at the same time defeat
the provisions of the instrument.
If he claims an interest under
an instrument, he must give full
effect to it, so far as he is able
to, do so. He cannot take what
is devised to him, and at the
same time, what is devised to
another, although, but for the
will, it would be his; hence he
is driven to his election to say
which he will take See also /

Election Defined

Justice Story defines election
as "the obligation imposed upon
a party to choose between two
inconsistent or alternative rights
or claims in cases where there
is clear intention Of the person
from whom he derives one that
he would not enjoy both. So
Story'S Eq. Jur. Sec. 1851, 14th
edition."
And in the same volume at
Section 1470 thereof, he says:
'Tt Is sufficient to raise q
case of election in equity that.
the teStatOr does dispose of
property which is not his own,
without any inquiry whether
he did 50 knowing it not to be
his own, or whether he did 80
under the erroneous suppOsi-
tion that it was his own. If
the property was known not to
be his own, 1t would be . clear
case Of election. If it was sup
posed enormously to be his
own, still there is no certainty
that his intention to devise it
would have been changed by
the mere knowledge Of the true
state Of the title, and the court
will mot speculate upon It,"

NEW YORK, June 10 GN.sJ.
Wall Street feels nearly clipper
as the new week opens. Some Of
the boys were in there bidding
stocks up at the close on Satur-
day, and this helped bring a mel
low touch to things over the week
end. uf.
There was some disappointment
that the market wasn't. a little
livelier at the end of the week, in
view Of the favorable turn in the

today will make up for it.
Chesapeake & Ohio turned in
quite a trick by hitting a new high
for the year. .'
This was the more impressive
considering the level at which
most of the other rails are selling
compared with their 1894 best.
Smart people for some time have
felt c. & o. would provide lead
ership if the rails got going again.
Not only has it the earnings,
but it will be the cornerstone Of
any efforts that may be made to
bring that 1ong-rumored rehabilita.

Traders haven't gotten very far
on the short side Of American
Telephone this year.
With the news consistently
against the company, particu.
larly regarding the rate situa-
ton, the boys have been whack-
ing Telephone right along every
time it, lifted its nose; yet all
most of them got for their pains
was a few headaches.
The steady rise in American
Sugar is bringing predictions Of
q dividend rise later on. While
the company in the past did
handsomely by its stockholders, It
will probably wait to see how the
new sugar plan works out before
getting more liberal.
Investment counsellors are un-
derstood to be patting the mar
ket on the back again.
One of the biggest is actually
recommending the buying side
for the first time in several
months. It's stock favorites in

Brokers are talking of a good
market for a month or two,
starting right away. We hope
they realize that it will take
more than talk to put stocks up.
Those who follow grains say
that a good base is being built
up here for a rise later, once
hedging pressure on wheat is
lifted.
