Scared Couple FIees
Virqinia Home Where
Ghosts Hold Carnival

sTAUNTON, Va. Oct. 25.
Hundreds of persons have been
drawn the past week to Steele'S
Tavern territory in the southern
part of Augusta county where
the neighbors are all agog over
a ghost story.
The house is near Mount
Carmel Church and is owned by
that organization, and has been
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Houston
Arehart, until playful spirits
began to shatter their nerves.
The ghosts have been the. sole
subject of conversation since
their first seance which seems
to have been called to order
last Tuesday.
Mysterious thumpings have
been so forceful that neighbors
report two windows on the
second floor were Jared loose
and crashed to the ground and
plaster has fallen from the walls.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arehart became
so annoyed they reported the
phenomena, then lost little time
in leaving the place.
Around Steele's Tavern no
less than so persons swear they
have heard the mysterious knock
ing, but no one has seen the
ghosts.
There Is talk Of having the
county sheriff investigate, and
also there has been talk that v.
M. I. cadets go down there to
lay the evil spirits and scare
the neighborhood.

Senate Leader Fights
His Insertions in
the Record.
BY the Associated Press.

Protesting against what he termed
the moral obliquities" of Senator
Schall, Republican, of Minnesota in
inserting allegedly defamatory matter
in the Congressional Record, Majority
Leader Robinson today served notice
on him that in spite of his blindness
the Minnesotan would have to con-
form to the rules
Robinson's outburst was prompted
by the MinneSotanIS request to have
a speech by a Minnesota editor and a
Texas newspaper editorial read into
the Record and to have one of his
own speeches read by the clerk.
Robinson declared he would insist
on the right to object to parts of them
found unsuitable to the Record. This
brought from Schall the plea that
IF l had my sight could read that
speech without censorship"
Schall's denial that he had inserted
Objectionable material in the Record
was met by a charge from Robinson
that last week he called very high
official" of the Government a
maniac" He had reference to
Schalls description of President
Roosevelt as a ''megalomaniac"
Robinson protested that Schall

BERLIN, July 16-E w. Wood Of
New York, a midshipman of the United
States battleship Wyoming was ar
rested in the anti-Jewish riots in Kur-
furstendam Boulevard last night and
spent the night in jail. He was re-
leased today after paying a fine of so
marks-about $50.
Several hundred American midship-
men spending a holiday in Berlin wit
messed the riots. Wood turned up at
his hotel today with a vivid tale of
how he was arrested by police after
watching a woman knocked down with
bare fists.
Wood said he got into a fist fight
when solicited for comment on such
action, he expressed disgust.
Wood said he was standing on o
cafe terrace when the woman was
felled. Another woman protested, the
American said, whereupon she, tco,
was knocked down.
Asked for His Views.
The big man who struck her turned
to Wood. he related, and asked;
What do you think of that?"
When he voiced his disapproval the
man persisted:
What are you going to do about
it?"
The fist fight started. Police in
teryened and arrested Wood, who
could not say whether his adversary
was seized.
Wood, formerly private organist
for J. P. Morgan, is also a composer
of popular music.
Anti-Semites rushed Jews home
from coffee houses and restaurants on
the KurfuerstendaNm boulevard last
night and early today, putting what
the press called a "damper on grow
ing Jewish arrogance"
The usual evening promenade in
this fashionable west end section was
upset considerably before an emer-
gency squad finally succeeded in quiet
ing the excitement by guarding q
number of Jewish restaurants.
Curious crowds, however, moved
about early today discussing the Incl
dents, in the course of which one Jew
was knocked unconscious and several
show windows were broken.
The riots followed the sentencing oi
six Jews and six Aryan women yes
terday to concentration camps fol
alleged intimate relations.
Strict orders we're issued today by
Storm Troop leaders for a hands-of
attitude in future anti-Semitic dem

MOVE TO ADJOURN
TABLED IN HOUSE
Little Excitement Created
When Deem Seeks to End
Session Tuesday.
BY the Associated Press.

The House today tabled Ill to 48
a resolution to force adjournment of
this session of Congress on next Tues
day.
The reSolution-not debatable-was
offered by Representative Deem, Demo-
crat, Of Georgia. Immediately one of
the Democratic leaders, Representa-
tive O'Connor of New York, moved
it be tabled. That undoubtedly kills it.
Speaker Byrns announced O'Con-
nor's motion had carried on a voice
vote, but standing vote was demand
ed. On that, the count was Ill to 48.
The vote was almost strictly on
party lines, six other Democrats vot-
ing with Deem and against the motion
to table. Two Republicans joined
the Democrats.
Just before Deem offered his reso-
luton, Representative Woodrum, Dem
ocrat. of Virginia made a brief speech
in which he said he agreed 100 per
cent" with those who thought Con-
gress should speedily adjourn"
House Democratic leaders agreed
that if any one man on Capitol Hill
held the KEEP to adjournment it was
not Deem, but Senator La Toilette,
Progressive, of Wisconsin.
La Toilette, they recalled, was
promised fatty that if he would
permit speedy adoption of a resolu-
ticu extending $501 100000 in
nuisance taxes which otherwise would
have expired June 80, he would be
given an opportunity-thisS Session-to
vote on another bill increasing taxes
against the wealthy.
Bill to Be Pressed.
Representative Samuel B. Hill,
Democrat. of Washington. chairman
of the Ways and Means Subcornmit-
tee in charge of the tax program,
reiterated today there was no inten-
ton of dropping the bill, at least in
the House.
Some others said, however, that
later La Toilette might be asked to
release the House Democrats from
their pledge. The Senator thus far
has insisted on action this session.
simultaneously, Representative Ran
kin, Democrat, of Mississippi issued a
statement asserting he would oppose
adjournment until the tax, utilities
holding company and the Tennessee
Valley Authority bills are enacted,
mo matter how Justify the enemies
of these measures applaud suggestions
for immediate adjournment

not frayed at all compared to what

The White House maintained strict
silence on the adjournment move.
Likewise, there was no confirmation
whatever at the White House of re-
ports that Mr.. Roosevelt had dis
cussed adjournment in his week end
visit with Democratic leaders at the
Jefferson Island Club.

"The power of Congress to regu-
late interstate commerce does not
authorize it to do so by taxing prod

before they enter interstate commerce,
or otherwise to control their produc-
ton merely because their production
may indirectly affect interstate COM
merce.
The issue is not, as the Govern
ment contends, whether Congress can
appropriate funds raised by general
taxation for any purpose deemed by
Congress in furtherance of the gen.
eral welfare but whether Congress
has any power to control or regulate
matters left to the States and lay a
special tax for that purpose"
The court also set forth: THE
power to determine what the law
shall be, what property shall be af-
fected by taxation, or regulation, and
what standards shall govern the ad-
ministrative officers in administering

to be an administrative function.
