The matter of how long his salary

Chairman Fletcher. The hearing was

but another step to municipal garages.
One immediate solution, he said, would
be to make more unused plots Of
ground available for parking and the
question Of building municipal garages
should be taken up without delay.
The Fine Arts Commission, said
Caemmerer. opposes garages built
under parks in the city, under the
Ellpse or the Mall. Any garages
under squares such as McPherson
Square would become q nuisance, said
the commissions secretary. This would
clutter up trafIic near the square, to
provide entry and exit. Such gar
ages would be very costly to build and
would ruin the plot Of ground O. q

the Eldpse or the Mall, he said.

By the Associated Press.
A movement Intended to block ad-
journment Of Congress until the Nc
Leod bill to pay on depositors In
closed banks has been acted upon
was begun today In the House.
Representative Dingell, Democrat,
OF Michigan, prepared a petition by
which the signers would pledge them
selves to vote against any motion for
adjournment until the bill has been
acted upon.
Signing Delayed.
He said although a large number
OF the members already had told
him they were willing to sign 1t, the
petition would not be presented until
1t was determined what attitude the
Banking Committee will take toward
asking the House for quick action,
The petition follows:
I'VE, the undersigned members OF
Congress, hereby pledge and obligate
ourselves to vote against any motion
to adjourn the Seventy-third Congress
until the membership of the House of
Representatives shall have had an op-
portunity to act upon the Mcleod bill,
which has for its purpose relief for
bank depositors-
Sirovich Signs Request.
The list of signatures on the petit
ton to force House action on the Nc
Leod bill reached the required l45 this
morning when Representative Sirovich
(DemocraD of New York signed the
request.
A parliamentary question imme-
diately arose over the effect of the de-
velopment, since the House Banking
Committee reported bill yesterday
which bore McLeod's name, but the
text had been stricken out and the
provisions Of the measure introduced
by Representative Brown CDemocrat)
Of Michigan substituted.
Petition Claimed Nullifed.
Parliamentarians expressed the
opinion yesterday the committee ac-
ton had the effect of nuIlifying the
petition. Representative Mcleod Gre
publican) Of Michigan. author Of the
bill, and other advocates, however,
contended the committee did not re-
port the bin asked for in the petition.
Speaker Rainey has expressed the
opinion that If the bill reported bears
the same number rs that called for
in the petition. the 145 signatures
have no effect.
To newspaper men, however, he
said: Il, Of course, reserve the right
to reverse myself when I am called
upon for q ruling"
Mcleod was undetermined whether
he would ask for a ruling on the
status Of his bill Immediately.

the men. ,,

That's the reason we don't want

Pittenger said he then surrendered
the key and started toward the Do

was disarmed and as he walked down

Now it can be told that very few
people knew how near we were to q
f1are-up with the japanese in 1882.
You may recall that State Secretary
Stimson cooled off suddenly in his
ardor against the japanese. The
reason was that Admiral Taylor Of the
American Asiatic Squadron sent long
message to Chief Pratt of naval oper-
ations which was strongly worded. It
said the Japanese meant business in
their campaign in China, that it was
a matter of life or death In their eyes.
He actually contemplated the posi-
bility of the Asiatic Squadron and all
American vessels in the Far East being
wiped out in event of a sudden war.
Pratt took the message to the White
House and Stimson was called of.
Lukewarm on Market Bill.
ANY one in close touch with Con-
gressmen can see they have no heart

Of them are agitators for it.

nical subject of Which most OF
them know little or nothing. Voters

same fr. IL the incoming mail Is
any hint as to their betcilderment.
There is no political pressure for it,
ercept that orgcnized By the little
inside clique of liberals and the
White House.
A fair analysis of the underlying
situation indicates that the question of
whether there will be q bill, and what
kind. Is up to President Roosevelt.
Unless he assumes active leadership
in the matter, the Congressman will
phenaele things around so the issue
are starting already.

TIME IS CHANGED
IN STOCKS BILL
Registration Feature Modi.
fled by Subcommittee
of House. 70,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A House Interstate Commerce Sub
committee today modified the stock
market regulation bill by extending
the time for registration of securities
Chairman Rayburn in announcing
that the committee had extended for
more than a full year the registration
Of securities provision. said it was
in which to adjust themselves to the
requirements.
Under the bill as now written the
corporations would be allowed only
until April /. 1885. This was extended
to July !, 1885. This applies to both
listed and unlisted securities.
Power Feature Approved.
A broad delegation Of power to the
Federal Reserve Board to decide Just
how much cash q buyer Of securities
must post with his broker was ap-
proved yesterday by the subcommittee
And for the guidance Of the board,
1t recommended the measure include
an expression Of congressional opinion
that IS per cent Of the current mar
ket value Of the issue purchased would
be about the right figure. This, how
ever, would have no binding effect
upon the board.
Revision . Compromise.
The revision was q compromise
steering . deft course between the
demands Of Wall Street that margin
requirements be left flexible and the
wishes of those who, urging strict
regulation, asked specific statutory
mtnimums be set.
It served, too, to bring the House
bill closer to conformity with that
now emerging from the Senate Bank
ing Committee. A subcommittee of
the latter Wednesday voted margin
requirements be left to the determi-
nation Of . regulatory commission
but without the guidance Of congres-
sional advice.
Administration 10 Be Decided.
The major difference between House
and Senate bills now lies in the sec
ton saying who shall administer the
act. The House bill would leave 1t to
the Federal Reserve Board and Fed
eral Trade Commission, with the
former controlling margins and credit,
and the latter all other phases Of the
bill.
The Senate subcommittee late yes
terday approved three more sections
Of the bill giving the regulating group
authority to establish rules for the
over-the-comter markets requiring
omcers and directors to make monthly
reports on stock owned in their COM
panies and requiring regular reports
by stock exchanges. in . manner pre-
scribed by the commission.

though new traffic regulations Gus
tomarily must be advertised for over
period of 10 days before they are
effective
He said that the act contains Q
proviso that whenever 1t Is deemed
advisable to make Immediately effec-
tive any regulation relating to park
ing the regulation shall be
effective Immediately upon placing at
the point where it Is to be enforced
conspicuous signs containing notice
Of the regulation"
In his recommendation to the Com
missioners, Van Duzer said that even
after discussing the matter with the
merchants he still was convinced the
restrictions on parking should be ap-
piled to Seventh, F and G streets for
the following reasons:
approximately cne-third Of the
curb space on Seventh street now Is
taken up with entrances and no-park-
ing time signs. car stops and
other locations such as fire plugs.
1850 Cars Use Street.
approximately one-half Of the
space on G street and two-thirds OF
the space on F street is not now avail
able for parking, for the same rea-
sons.
Van Duzer said In discussing the
F street problem. even if cars were
changed every hour, only 7S4 cars
could be Accommodated now during q
business day, whereas there were 1850
cars, exclusive Of street cars, using
this street during q business day,
with no place to load or unload pas
sengers except when parked double.
On Seventh street, he said, If cars
were changed every hour about 500
automobiles could be Accommodated at
the curb per day, whereas there were
1850 cars q day using that street,
exclusive Of street cars, all Of which
were delayed and Inconvenience BY
the present arrangement.
On @ street, he said, about 1000
cars day could be legally parked If
they were removed every hour. He
said trafic on @ street, exclusive Of
street cars, amounts to 6,200 vehicles
q day.
Meanwhile. an additional parking
ban was clamped down by G. Marshall
Finnan, superintendent of the Ma
tional Capital parks. today on one Of
the drives leading to the Lincoln
Memorial, with the announcement
that the time IS rapidly approaching
when there will be two-hour restric-
tions on parking in the Mall, the

and laughed heartily, apparently en-

Anxious to question Oliver further
concerning his testimony yesterday
that the bishop admitted he had for
gotten about SIS. 200 in cash in q
Richmond safe deposit box, McNeill
called Government counsel and they
engaged in whispered conversation
at the bench concerning the propriety
Of such examination.
Returning to his place at the coun-
sci table, McNeill launched into a
line of questioning to get Oliver to
admit he had been ordered to be
present at conferences between Bishop
Cannon, his attorneys, and members
Of the District attorneys ONCE in
order to pick up something detri-
mental to Bishop Cannon to which
he could testify at the trial. Oliver
denied this.
"Spy" Charge Made.
"You were there as a spy" McNeill
charged. You knew this was meet
ing of lawyers to draw up stipula-
tions."
The defense counsel then turned to
the prosecutors and said, "I would
feel greatly embarrassed If I treated
you that way in my Office"
During the cross-examination dis
pute arose between McNeill and the
witness as to whether the attorney
was present at a conference at the
court house March Is. Oliver said he
was and McNeil said he was not, but
was in Florida at the time. It devel-
oped that the witness had confused
the name Of the chief defense counsel
and of his son. George McNeill. He
still stuck to his contention. however,
that Robert McNeill was present at
all conferences in the District attor-
ney's office.
Tells Of Interview.
The Department of Justice agents
appearance on the witness stand
brought a welcome relief from the
monotony of detailed banking traps-
actions which had been narrated by
witnesses throughout the day.
Oliver was asked by Robb to state
the substance Of 4-hour interview
with Bishop Cannon In the United
States attorneys office here In 1881.
Cannon, according to the witness,
talked freely although he had been
advised anything he said might be
used against him. As matter OF
fact, the present indictment was re-
turned by the grand jury few weeks
after the interview.
Oliver quoted Bishop Cannon as
saying he preferred to deal with cash
during the 1928 acmpaign and fire.
ouently had from $4,000 to 5000 IN
cash in his pockets as he Travelled
from one Southern town to another
exhorting his workers to greater ef-
forts.
Preferred Cash.
Bishop Cannon, the agent testified.
said he preferred cash for two reasons.
He liked to pay the expense OF his
campaigners in cash so the court
house gang" wouldn't know they were
working for money and by using cash
he could keep the curious from learn
ing his own business.
Earlier in the day, Government wit
nesses, In tracing the course OF money
contributed to the Bishop Cannon
cause, had stressed the bishops efforts
to find somebody no would pay him
4 per cent on the: deposits.
