Arms Committee Split
On Inquiry Procedure

Washington, Jan. l9-(P)-The first
sign Of split within the senate NUM-
tions committee appeared Saturday in
the face Of demands from senate
leaders that it submit legislation on
war profits in time for action at this
session Of congress.
When the senate voted another
$4,000 for the inquiry, administration
leaders attached an amendment re-
questiug that by April recommend
atoms for legislation be submitted.
This Is the origin Of the controversy.
Though there Is not yet an open
division In the committee, some men,
bers favor hurrying up the hearings
SO full report may be made by April
l. Others want to continue the In
vestigation indefinitely, with merely
. partial report in the spring.
Chairman Nye said the committee
would submit report on April !, but
doubted whether it would be complete.

BANK SUSPECT IS SlDENTlFIED
 BY DETECTW
Seattle Officer, Here, Al most Positive "'Hursch
 Is Right Man

Almost positive Identification of Paul Thornton Hursch, suspect held in the City Jail on two bank rob- bery charges in Seattle, was made today by V. L. Webb, detective from the Seattle Police Department who arrived here from the Puget Sound port this morning on the Yukon.
 Hursch was arrested by City Po- lice several days ago after they had worked with the Alaska Detective Agency and had cooperated with Seattle peace officers in a search for the man who held up two banks successfully. The wanted man threatened both bank tellers by saying he would drop a bottle of explosives unless his demands for cosh were met. He obtained about $2,600 in two thefts.
 City authorities did not obtain confession from Hursch, but cer- tain other admissions which he did make, coupled with his general description, made them feel they had the man wanted in Seattle. Detective Webbs almost positive Identification strengthened the case against Hursch today.
 Late this afternoon, Webb, &C., companied by Chief of Police Roy Hoffman, was waiting in the Fed eral and Territorial Building to present extradition papers from Gov. Clarence D. Martin of Wash ington to Gov. John w. Troy.
 Webb said that he would present the papers, even if Hursch offered to return voluntarily to the States to face trial.
 Webb indicated he intended to board the Yukon with his prisoner when that vessel calls here next Monday on the southbound run.

ECLIPSE OF MOON TOTAL
 LAST NIGHT
Observations Show Little Change in Craters-
 Great Spectacle

The moon was totally ec.ipsed by the earth last night as shown by copper colored refracted rays.
 The celestial spectacle kept mill lions of Americans up past bed- time.
 The eclipse was the longest visi- ble in this country in 50 years and not another of such length will be visible for another half century.
 The phenomenon came in direcs alignment with the sun, earth and moon.
 On the west coast some skies were clear but in other sections there was rain.
 Scientists at the Yerkes Obserga- tory, Wisconsin, said observations showed no changes in the craters Of the moon since the last eclipse.
 In Juneau there was plenty of rain in the air and also clouds were low Several parties went up the Mount Roberts trail but the fog was too dense to penetrate and the eclipse, as far as learned, was not seen in Juneau.

SENATOR NORRIS
 IS GIVEN SHOCK. BY P. HAIR BISON
Likewise Another Shock Is Registered by Couzens
 of Michig an
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Senator Norris of Nebraska hardly had in- troduced his proposed amendment to the Constitution outlawing 5-4 decisions by the Supreme Court be- fore he had enlisted one vote
 It must have been somewhat of a surprise to the veteran Progressive Republican leader for it was none other than that of Pat Harrison of Mississippi. one t i'm e Democratic convention keynoter and famed as a ''gadfly' to Republicans.
 Out of clear sky while discuss ing the constitutionality of the so- cial securities bill, the rangy Mis- sissippian announced:
 :. When the question comes before the Senate of two- thirds of the justices passing on the con- stitutionality of congressional leg islation, am going to support that proposed amendment to the Con- stitution of the United States"
 Couzens Disagrees
 Almost as surprising as Harri- sons gesture to a reform initiated by progressive was that of an in dependent Republicans move to express his disagreement with a Democratic idea.
 It came from Senator Couzens Of Michigan, one of the wealthiest men in the Senate and a close per- sonal friend and golfing partner of the Mississippi 'gadfly.'
 For a long time Couzens has been in disagreement with the Roose- velt administrations ideas of the subsistence homestead plan. He contends that the cart is being placed before the horse in these projects.
 Not many public officials, how ever. would choose Couzens' method of proving his point.
 Gift to Government
 He has presented the government with a gift of $550,O00 to help es- tablish workingmen's homestead project in Michigan. His friends say that he may spend as much as a million dollars before the project is developed fully and his ideas vindi- cated.
 The Michigan Senator's philan- tnropies are common knowledge. Fnc exact number of millions he mas given to charity-principally to handicapped or undeveloped chil- dren-probably never will be known.
