Tuvo Explosions
Cause OF Fires

An explosion in a small furnace
in the workshop of w. E. Smith, at
the rear of 735 Olive, is given as
the cause of the fire which des-
troyed the building yesterday af-
ternoon. Smith had placed an elec-
trio motor on which the armatureS
had been rewound in the oven and
stepped outside the workshop just
before the explosion occurred. Dam
age to the shed and its contents is
estimated at $500.
A fire caused by an explosion of
a kerosene stove in the home of
Mrs. H. Adair, Fifth and Orange,
brought out the fire department at
7 o'clock last night. The blaze was
extinguished before much damage
was caused.

amount of aid granted in each case
will, of course, depend upon the
number of people on the relief
rolls available in the vicinity. In
some instances where an investiga-
ton shows that it is impossible for
the local organization to furnish
necessary material and supplies, it
may sometimes be possible that a
small percentage of the funds avail
able for RELIEF may be expended for
such purpose. In each case this
question will have to be settled by
representatives of the Relief Ad-

Burnham sought the regulation

ried on extensively.
Il am very glad to hear of this, -
Evan T. Hewes, president of the To-

"as it means the continuation of
the present work being done in the

also the possibility that other sums
of money may be allocated for the

Hewes, with George Trawger, Tu-

Longs Attempt At Fillibuster
Turned Into Rout By Parlia-
mentary Rules
BY ii. o. THOMPSON

WASHINGTON, May % tU.H -
The long awaited crack down" on
Huey Long has been accomplished,
and in style which today gave in
dications that his prowess as a
senate troub:e-maKer would be
sharply curtailed in the future.
The discontinue of Long was
brought about in such natural way
that many observers did not notice
what was going on.
The story behind last evenings S
smashing of Longs bonus filibuster,
however, was one of determined ef-
fort by administrauon leaders to ex-
plode once and for all the king
fish's" powers to embarrass and de-
lay senate activity,
Huey was caught in trap large
ly of his own making.
Senators were angry that he
should keep them beyond the usual
quitting hour on such a fruitleSs
quest. Some who usually listen to
Long in quiet amusement left the
chamber in frank disgust.
Joseph T. Robinson, majority
leader, was quick to realize his ad-
vantage. He gave orders that the
senate should stay in session until
Long had become exhausted or sur
rendered.
Forced To Retreat
Long, who had begun talking at
2:30 p. M, apparently did not
realize until too late that he had
embarked upon hopeless cause. He
! fas gently prodded into one false
position after another. At times he
was talking to an almost empty
chamber.
At last he was forced into dis
ordered retreat. 1t was spectacle
that the senate will not soon forget.
Long, believing quorum call was
to be taken, left the chamber for a
moments rest. Sen. Tom Connally,
Dem), Texas, asked for recogni-
ton and obtained it.
Long was whipped. On vote the
concurrent resolution carried, "a

The state of Arizona today notified
the senate commerce committee
that 1t wanted all work on the
Parker dam held up until con-
gress appropriates s35,000,OO0 for
Arizona irrigation projects.
At special meeting of the COM
mittee requested by Arizona sena-
tors, James r. Moore, assistant at
torney general, of Arizona, outlined
the states objection to a bill CIV
ing specific authorization for Par
ker Dam, Grand Coulee and other
irrigation projects begun by PWA.
He proposed amendments TO the
bill requiring that no work be done
until two additional dams, and two
irrigation projects are approved.
They are:
A dam about Is miles below Par
ker to create power, cost $4,000, 900.
Construction of the Gila irriga-
ton project, 10000 acres, cost $780,
100000
Construction OF an irrigation
project for the Colorado Indian
reservation, 100000 acres and low
dam GA feeD for water diversion.
Total cost $10,O00,000
Survey of possibilities of further
Gila project development, $500,000.
I'VE don't want anything done

cd" Moore said. He said the cost
would be about 35,000,000 or about
$134 an acre.
DR.. Elwood Mead, United States
commissioner of reclamation said
his bureau had approved the pro-
iects, but considered the Parker
dam an integral" part of the pro-
gram.
He objected to making compile
ton of Parker dam dependent on
authorization of work relief funds
for the irrigation works.
PHOENIX, Ariz., May %. U.P)-
Arizona today sought PWA appro-
priation of $35,093,000 for develop
ment of reclamation areas along
the Colorado river.
If granted it was understood the
state would withdraw its objections
to construction of the Parker dam.
Attorney General John l.. Sulli-
van was enroute to Washington to
confer with Harold L. Ickes, sec
rotary of the interior, in an effort
to speed approval of the request
which was presented by James R.
Moore, special counsel for Arizona
in the Colorado river controversy
Moore also is in the capital.
Sullivan said he would also en-
list DR.. Elwood Mead, commissioner
of reclamation, to aid in gaining
early approval of the PWA re-
quest.
The application seeks $20,500,000
for construction of the first unit of

of 100000 acres of Indian Reserva-

The senate will take up the

dents congressional leaders said
they were confident it would be
killed.
Senate debate will be limited
to 30 minutes for each senator.
Leaders hoped for a fiEal vote
tomorrow afternoon.
WASHINGTON, May 90 Up =
The house of representatives to-
day overrode President Roosevelt's
veto of the Patmsn bonus bill, re-
iecting his argument that the use
of printing press money" to dis
charge obligations to special
groups" led only toward disaster.
The vote was announced Of
ficially as 322 to override to 98.
The vote a month ago on pas
sage of the Patman bill was 313
to 80.
The issue now rests with the
senate where New Deal" congress
sional leaders are confident a
tight minority will sustain the
President and stop the bill short
of the required two-thirds vote.
Mr.. Roosevelt scarcely had
reached home on his return from
rather chilly reception of his veto
argument when a news ticker
flashed the news to the White
!, House.
Rep. Wright Patman, tDem).
Texas, author of the disputed
measure, had first row, aisle seat
for the vote.
His faye" to override would
have carried mile or more over

Senate Majority Leader Joseph
T. Robinson said he could not
predict when the upper house vote
would come. He will attempt to
fix definite time for it. Robin
son was confident the senate
would sustain Mr. Roosevelt.
The joint session of congress
gave Mr.. Roosevelts message a
chilly reception. There was 10
second ovation before he began
reading his veto message. Six times
during the reading he was in
terrupted by applause, but it was
faint, uncertain and in no instance
prolonged beyond four sections.
For 72 seconds after he COM
pleted his reading the legislators
clapped and cheered Mr.. Roose-
welt again. There were some rebel
yells reminiscent of the rousing
days of the special session when
the Roosevelt word was almost law
on capitol hill.
His message was a stern admon-
inition against currency initiation.
He warned that uncontrolled
prices and destruction of the value
of savings" would follow adoption
of the printing press money plan
of meeting the demands of special
groups.

Long arguments on Inheritance and
severance taxes delayed progress of
legislation today as members of the
assembly fought over the question
of withdrawing revenue bills from
committee and considering them
on the floor
The debate prevented discussion
of the Hunt bill to exempt food
from the sales tax, and this SUBJ
.ject, one of the most important
before the lawmakers, may not be
studied formally until later today.
The assembly voted against with
drawing from committee the Nc
Carthy bill which would double the
present inheritance tax rate. Mem
bers pointed out that committee
approval already has been given
another inheritance tax increase
measure designed to raise $3,000,000
in new revenue during 1935-37.
Similarly, members objected to
withdrawing the Heisinger bill pro-
posing a two per cent severance
tax ON natural resources. The tax
would raise an estimated $12,000,-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES properties of
the Federal Housing Administration
reveals the fact that there are scores
of thousands of such structures
wherein exist definite need for new
equipment and machinery.
Through the new method or credit
extension, apartment building owners
may now improve their properties to
such an extent as to be on a competi-
tive basis with larger operators in the
same field.
Several changes have been made
under the $4,000 extension in con-
trast with the regulations which for
merly held under the $4,000 modern
i2ation limit.
Primarily, because of the diversity
OF risk under the new ARRANGEMENT.
the Housing Administration consid-
ers the taking of collateral by lend
ing institutions appropriate, but does
not make this obligatory by regula-
ton. In the case of purchase and
installation Of equipment and ma
chinery for apartment buildings, the
Housing Administration suggests that
such collateral be in the form of
chattel mortgage, conditioned sale,
or bailment lease as State laws
designate. Under the amended plan
the lending institutions decision as
to the credit worthiness of appli-
cants is taken as final, If an ap-
proved form of credit statement is
taken and assurance is given that
all phases of the loan conform with
