FURNACE BAR MAY.
. REVEAL MURDERER.
Montgomery Police Seek
Clue in Case of William

BY a staff Correspondent Of The Star.
POTOMAC, Md, october 19.-Hope
for solution of the murder of William
Hill, retired Montgomery County
farmer, found slain in the basement
OF the Potomac Elementary School
yesterday, centered today in the police
search for the iron furnace shaker
bar with which he was slain.
An intensive but unavailing hunt
was made of the school grounds and
adjoining property yesterday. and it
was planned to renew the search today
on the theory that the bar, if found,
may bear finger prints or some other
clue that might lead to the appre-
hension of the 68-year mans
murderer or murderers.
An exhaustive study made of the
basement and school building has thus
far failed to produce any leads which
might point to the solution of the
case.
Arthur Posey, As, and Edward Boil
ton, 30 who left local store with
Hill shortly before IL O'Clock Wednes-
day night and we're the last known
persons to see Hill alive were absolved
by police today of any connection with
the case.
Posey was released last night, while
Bolton will be released sometime today,
officers said. The two men were taken
to the Rockville Jail for questioning by
Detective Corpl. Theodore Volton and
Police Sergt. Roy Bodner. who are
directing the investigation, shortly
after Hills body was discovered, lying
face downward in a pool of blood in
the basement of the school by Janitor
Jesse A. Swain.
1t was learned however. that both
men left Hill after assisting the feeble
man down the steps of the store, in
which they had been chatting with
friends few moments before he left
for the home of his daughter, Mrs
Lille Burrus, who resides less than 200
yards from the store. and only short
distance from the school building.
Posey told police he went directly
home after leaving Hill outside the
store, while Bolton said that he re-

A number of witnesses bore out the
stories of both men, Volton said.
Hills skull was crushed just above
the right eye and behind the left

ugly bruises and cuts Police are of
the opinion that he was taken into
the basement of the school building
which had been left unlocked after

earlier in the evening, robbed and
then murdered with the bar obtained
from the furnace room, which opens

DEBATE ON TARIFF
SEEN IN SENATE
Democratic Leaders Admit
Bill Will Extend Session
of Congress.
BY G.. GOULD LINCOLN

The merry first of May" will find
Congress with huge uncompleted tasks
on its hands. Adjournment, which the
leaders last January predicted would
come by mid April, is still weeks and
possibly months away.
The key to the legislative jam is the
Roosevelt reciprocity tariff bill. Demo-
cratic leaders in the Senate admitted
last night that if it were not for this
measure, it might be possible to wind
up the business and get away within
the next two or three weeks.
So far as the House Is concerned,
the legislative program has nearly
been completed. 1t is in the Senate
that the Administration bills are still
awaiting action.
The immediate program for the
Senate as outlined yesterday by Sem
ator Robinson of Arkansas, Demo-
cratic leader, calls for action first on
the so-called municipal bankruptcy
bill, then for the passage of the cor
poration bankruptcy bill, and probably
thereafter on the stock exchange reg
ulation bill
Roosevelt Message Expected.
This immediate program. however.
omits number of important meas
ures that are still to be taken up
Among these is the tariff bill the
proposed notifications of the secur-
ltles act. amendments to the Agricul-
tural adjustment act. the Wagner
labor board bill the communications
bill and the bill providing an addi-
tional 81 .5OO.OOO.OO0 to $4,000 900 600
for public works and relief which has
still to originate in the House. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is expected during the
coming week to send a message to
Congress dealing with this additional
appropriation for relief and public
works.

NEXT DISARMING MOVE
is HELD UP TO EUROPE
President Confers With Secretary
Hull and Envoy at Large
on Developments.

President Roosevelt, after a two
hour conference yesterday with Sec
retary of State Hull and Norman H.
Davis, American Ambassador at large,
appeared unmoved by the renewed
pressure on him to step in and take
the lead in fresh attempt to save
the disarmament cause.
Davis, upon leaving the White
House, said the next disarmament
move would depend on developments
IN Europe and that it was even uncer-
tain whether he would return to
Geneva for the reassembling of the
full meeting of the entire Dis
armament Conference, scheduled for
May 90.
In The absence of an official state
ment from the White House. Davis
expressed hope that Europe would find
way to solve the problems deadlock

Willard Heads Delegation.
In view of indications that the
deadlock centering around France and
Germany had exhausted the resources
Of European diplomacy, President
Roosevelt had been appealed to by in
dividuals and groups in this country
and abroad, who urge that effective
leadership to avert catastrophe must
come from him if from any one.
Oswald Garrison Willard, editor of
The Nation, headed delegation
which went to the White House
Friday in support of this plea. 1t
has been urged upon Mr. Roosevelt
in this connection that the disarma-
ment situation has reached a stage
where no one else can take the
initiative
1t is pointed out that Germany
blames France for having wrecked
all hope of disarmament by its latest
note declaring it will not disarm as
long as Germany continues to arm
and increase its military budget, and
that France charges Germany with
having killed the hope of disarma-
ment by its defiance of the allies.
Great Britain, it is pointed out, has
proved unable to conciliate the two.
The chief significance of President
Roosevelt's conference on the subject
yesterday lay in the fact it was the
first such talk he has had on the
subject since the pressure on him to
act became stronger. officials of the
Roosevelt administration had con-
cluded weeks ago that the disarma-
ment situation was next to hopeless.
1t has been felt in the administration
that there was nothing further that
the President could do that would be
effective without becoming involved
in European politics. All the lndica-
tions at the close of the conference
confirmed this view.
Twice Appealed for Peace.
