JAM CONTINUES
IN SENATE

International News Service
Warning that Congress will be
in session until late in July un-
less it speeds up enactment OF
President Roosevelt's legislative
program as outlined in his fire
side talk" Senator Robinson
CD of Arkansas, majority leader,
today called upon the Senate for
better cooperation and faster
work.
He said:
'It will be necessary for the
Senate to speed up its work if
the program made clear in the
Presidents radio speech is car
ried out during the present ses-
sion.
"The extension of the NRA,
the utility holding company
bill, the various measures relat-
ing to transportation and the
social security bill pertaining to
subjects that are controversial,
and / do not see how a con-
clusion of this session can be
reached before a date late in
July unless better cooperation
for dealing with the measures
can be arranged"
JAM CONTINUES
However, the Senate steering
committee was unable to break the
legislative jam and the Senate met
with the Administration pro-
gram still held up by the sec
tional dispute over the anti-lynch-
ing bill.
More than hour before the Sen
ate was called to order Senator
Robinson gathered his committee
together in an effort to break the
impasse that has split the party
line. At the conclusion of the ses-
sion, many of the Senators re-
fused to discuss the questions
taken up in any particular. Later
Senator Robinson made a brief
statement. He said:
1.-THE steering committee met
to discuss the state of legisla-
ton.
HOPES FOR BREAK
"The impaSse now existing
was discussed, but no arrange
ment has been yet affected. 1
am hopeful that the matter
may be worked out soon.
I'm our discussion we touched
on NRA utility holdings, bank
ing, transportation and social
security. We also discussed the
bonus, but no attempt was made
now to fix the order of their
consideration"
It was indicated, however, that
the bonus bill would be the next
piece OF legislation to be consid-
cred as soon as the antilynching
bill Is gotten out of the way.

Ambassador a Bachelor;
Very Popular in D. c.

Ambassador Rosso. one Of the
most popular members Of the
diplomatic corps in Washington,
left here yesterday for Boston,
it was learned at the Embassy,
and planned to return in two or
three days. The purpose Of the
trip was to confer with the
Italian Consul General in Boston
and other consular officers on
routine government problems.
Ambassador RoSso, who has
been in this country for about two
years, is a bachelor and is ex-
tremely popular in social circles.
Likes to Ride
A member of a prominent Pied
mont family, he is an ardent
horseman and is often seen on
his mount in Rock Creek Park
and in the Virginia hunting
country where he is a member Of
the exclusive North Wales Club
at Warrenton.
While a member of the Italian
army he served with distinction
in the cavalry.
The ambassador is also noted
as musician, and it was said that
when he received the appointment
to the embassy here the first thing
he did was TO order his piano very
carefully packed 39T7 shipment
here.
Did Not Apply
There was much speculation
about a year ago as to what the
ambassador would do in view Of
the order Of Premier Mussolini
that all bachelor Fascist officials
must marry or leave the service.
At that time he explained that
the order applied only 10 execu-
tiVes Of the Facist party or to
those under civil service, and as
he did not come under either
category the order would not be
applicable.

DELAY IN TRIAL
PROTESTED BY
COL. COOPER
Former Bank Head Asks
Court to Hear His Case
Some Time This Week

The unusual situation of a de-
PENDANT in a criminal case de-
handing an immediate trial was
seen in District Supreme Court
today when Col. Wade H. Cooper,
indicted former president Of the
United States Savings Bank, pro-
tested against a further delay
of his trial.
Colonel Cooper, whose indict.
ment arose out of circumstance
surrounding the merger of the
Continental Trust Company and
the Commercial National Bank,
was not accompanied by his
counsel today when he inter.
rupted preparations for another
trial before Justice Jesse C. Ad-
kins and said:
"Your Honor, this Is the
fourth time my case has been
set for trial in this court and
the fourth time it has been
postponed.
Il came here this morning,
as ! have done each time in the
past, anxious to face the jury.
Now find the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, which prob
ably does not care about an
early trial, put on the docket
ahead of me, who wants a trial
at once.
Il suppose nothing can be
done about it today, but l would
appreciate it If the court would
set a certain date this week for
the trial"
Justice Adkins asked Colonel
Cooper if he recalled the old
maxim about the client who was
his own lawyer, and Colonel Coop
er replied:
ooh, I have counsel. Mr..
Leahy is my lawyer, but it is the
clients job to get trial first
and the lawyers job is to try
the case"
The court suggested that Col.
onel Cooper have his counsel file
a motion to set a trial date.

WEISS SLAYERS

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. April %
1.N.S0 Boldly declaring he does
not fear electrocution, Martin
Farrell was sentenced to death
in the electric chair today along
with his brother-inlaw partner
in crime, Francis Wiley. for the
kidnap-murder of William Big
Bill" Weiss, Philadelphia under
world baron.
In passing sentence, Judge Cal
vim S. Boyer did not set a date
for the execution of the Mais
gang members convicted of killing
Weiss after collecting $4,000 of
the $4,000 ransom demanded.
Wiley heard his fate in silence
but Farrell commented:

Eastern Penitentiary reserved
for incOrrigible prisoners).

j. s. AIR PLANS
ROUSE CANADA
CONTINUED from Page y

NContInued from rage ~
to avoid any diplomatic incident.
Indications were that an effort
would be made to induce the War
Department to let this Govern
ment turn the testimony over to
Canada.
Meanwhile, the War Depart
ment was far from pleased at the
fact the House Military Affairs
Committee had permitted the con-
fidential testimony of Air Corps
officers to be made public.
1t was felt that disclosure of Air
Corps officers testimony regard
ing landing stations for Army air
planes near the Canadian border
might arouse concern in Canada.
Army officers asserted the War
Department had no desire or in
tention Of disturbing the demili-
tarized frontier situation nor Of
establishing an actual military
air base anywhere near the
Canadian border.
AS to the possibility Of land
ing stations mentioned by Gen.
Charles F.. Kilbourne in testi-
mony some time ago before the
House Military Affairs Commit
tee, Army officers said it was
only natural the War Depart
ment should consider landing
stations for the air corps in all
parts OF the United States.
Ironically, the Canadian request
for information came almost at
the same time that Under Secre-
tary OF State William Phillips was
unVeiling a tablet here commend
rating the signing ll8 years ago
Of the Rush-Bagot agreement.
whereby the United States and
Canada agreed 10 demilitarize and
not TO fortify their respective
frontiers.

MOTHER AWAITS
LETTER FROM
DEAD SON
Mrs. Edgar Howard Believes
1t Will Clear Mystery of
Hollywood Deaths

In an attractive home on Park
Place a mother waits anxiously
for a letter that does not come.
Yesterday, from a flower filled
chapel in Los Angeles, Cal, her
son, William McCauley Howard,
26, who died by his own hand
several days ago, was taken to
his final resting place.
Young Howard, one of the trio
involved in the mysterious
murder-suicide case, died from a
bullet wound in the temple, self
inflicted, police say after he had
shot and wounded Henry E. Bolte,
educator and politician, as the
latter put the key in the door of
his apartment. Bolte, according
to the story his wife told police,
plunged head first into her arms
as she opened the door.
Wharton Shot in Chest
Several blocks away, Paul Whar-
ton-who, police say-has a Grim
inal record and several aliases,
died in the arms of his step
mother, shot in the chest, alleg,
edly by Howard.
Mrs. Edga: Howard, who has
in her possession letters from her
son telling of his difficulties in
trying to collect wages said to be
due him from Bolte, insists that
Bill" did not, could not, have
shot either Wharton or Bolte.
The last letter she received
from Bill was written April %
in which he said that he was
driving Wharton, his employer,
to San Francisco and would write
in a couple Of days"
Then Came Shooting
Then came the news of her
sons suicide, the fatal shooting
of Wharton and the wounding of
Bolte. She is still waiting for
that letter. waiting and hoping
that its contents will explain the
awful tragedy which had left her
stunned with grief.
Late Saturday night, a woman
who refused to give her name
telephoned Edgar Howard father
of William Howard, and asked
him to meet her at a local hotel
because I can throw some light
| on this shooting"
She refused to give her name,
Mrs. Howard said. but gave the
father a description of herself.
Mr.. Howard Meets Her
Mr. Howard, his wife stated,
met the woman in the lobby of
the hotel.
She told him she knew Mr..
Bolte, said to be a former WISH
ington attorney. He formerly
lived in Riverdale, Md. Other
information given Mr.. Howard
about Bolte couldn't be printed"
The woman agreed to talk to
police and to reveal her identity
if it would help in the solution
of the case. Mrs. Howard said.

ARMADA SAILS
FOR CANES

LOS ANGELES, April %
UN.S0.-With their movements
shrouded in secrecy, the mighty
armada of Uncle Sam slipped out
of Los Angeles harbor in the dark
ness of early morning today and
disappeared into the broad ex-
panSe of the Pacific.
Thus was launched the gigantic
war games of the United States
fleet. For more than six weeks
1873 warships, more than 400 air
planes and the $4,000 officers and
men of the fleet will maneuver
under war conditions from the sub
Arctic area of the Aleutian PENN
suIa to the tropics of Hawaii and
from the coasts of America to
midway island.
Channels Cleared
About midnight last night,
minesweepers cleared the chan
nels of Los Angeles Harbor.
Then the swift, gray. deadly
deStroyers-the slim greyhounds
OF the fleet-were unleashed by
Admiral Joseph M. Reeves.
Like hunting pack, the de-
stroyers coursed through the en-
trance to the harbor and shifted
about the channel between the
mainland and Catalina Island.
The heavy cruisers were next;
at 3:45 they weighed anchor and
cautiously moved into the chan
mel.
Moves Secret
Then the ponderous floating
fortresses-the b eships-
steamed slowly out. clearing the
harbor shortly after a. m.
For the first few days, the va
rious warcraft will merely move to
the rendezvous from which they
will launch mimic attack and de-
tense moves. The movements in
the war game will remain secret,
but press correspondents will be
able, from time to time, to wire
less conclusions reached by the
commanding officers as result OF
the games.

will advance on August 1st. Local

Wise buyers are filling their bins
now.
Many people think that anthra-

not true. Low summer prices are
offered to cut down the expense of
Keeping mines in working order
during the time not much coal is
being consumed. Water continually
seeps into mines and pumps must
be used all the time to keep the
mines dry. extensive ventilating
systems must operate continu-

quick in order to have some return
from necessary summer activities.
This gives consumers q chance to
save very. desirable amounts on
their fuel bills.

ings if you buy your coal NOW.
July prices are the lowest they
have been in many, many years.
Prices were cut to the bottom to
make summer buying worth while.
Old timers in the hard coal re-
gfon say that it is Is to 16 years
since hard coal prices at the mines
have been so low. They also state
that quality has been so much i'm
proved in recent years that the
same price today buys far more
heating value than in the old days.
Mine operators report that sum-
mer selling has been very success
full. More users of fuel have shown
their appreciation of 1883 low
prices by buying their coal early.
While prices at the mines increased
June 1st and July 1st, it is still
possible to make very considerable
savings by buying now.
