Asked, First Vote Discarded
GARNER MAKES ODD ERROR

WASHINGTON, April 5. Up)-
Congress completed action on the
$4, ,880, 100000 work-relief bill late
today, but only after another OF
the strange incidents in its check
cred 10-week legislative life.
The works bill now goes to the
President. The house and senate
adopted the conference report
worked out of a compromise basis.
When the roll-call finally was
taken in the senate after two abor-.
tive attempts to adopt the confer
ence report the result showed Sc
votes for the bill and 13 against. =
The senate adopted the confer
ence report twice. The first time
Vice-President John N. Garner,
hungry for action, gaveled the re-
port through within 10 minutes af-
ter its arrival from the house.
The action was called back, how
ever, opening the way for debate
before the second adoption.
Chairman Carter Glass Of the
appropriations committee, who has
guided the bill in its long passage
through the senate, called up the
report.
A clerk read changes adopted by
conferees, and Garner Immediately
put the subject to vote.
An overwhelming chorus OF
"ayes" was heard, and Garner an
nounced:
"The conference report is adopt
ed.D
Immediately he discovered that
Glass had asked only for permis-
sion to consider the report. The
vote was withdrawn and the veter-
an Virginia Democrat began an
explanation of senate and house
changes.
Upon the Presidents signature
the bill now can be used for the
New Deals" greatest recovery
drive and to carry out the Presi-
dents determination to abandon
the dole" system of relief.
Salient features of the bill:
Provides for expenditures of the
huge fund for work and work-relief
at 1.-The discretion and under the
direction of the President"
for highway funds which will be ap-
portioned under existing procedure.
Ear-markS the funds in eight
general classifications but without
definite requirements on how the
money shall be spent.
Gives the President authority to
fix wage scales and requires him
to pay prevailing wages on federal
building projects.
Allocates $900,000,000 for loans
and grants for -liquidating pro-
jects with the provision that IS per
cent of the money, lin the determi-
nation of the President" shall be
spent for work.
Authorizes the President to make
loans to farmers, farm tenants.
croppers of farm laborers.
Requires senate conformation of
administration officials receiving
salaries of $5,0UU or more.

HOUSE LEADER
Democrats Planning To Replace
Acting "Whip" Because OF
lnsurgent Activities
BY EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

| Copyright, 1885, BY United Press
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Smoul-
6ering resentment of house Demo-
Gratis to the regime of Edward T..
Taylor, acting majority leader,
threatened today to result in his
removal.
Groundwork for a drive to oust
the elderly Colorado congressman
as acting leader was laid at a sec
ret caucus yesterday of more than
80 Democrats. A party caucus may
be forced on petition of 25 Demo-
Gratis.
The group opposed to Taylor
planned an effort to replace him
with someone who would cooperate
more closely with Speaker Joseph
w. Byrns and other party leaders.
Taylor was named acting leader
early in the session to serve during
the illness of Rep. William Bank
head Dem0 Alabama, who was
elected to that post at party cau-
Gus. 1t was Bankhead who suggest
ed Taylor.
Bankhead became i'll soon after
his election as leader. 1t was ex-
pected when Taylor was named
that the elected leader would soon
be back. Friends now say it may
be months before he is able to re-
sumo his duties.
Failure of Taylor to support
Byrns on the work relief bill con-
ference report issue and his tend
ency to side with the inflation-sil-
yer bloc aroused many administra-
ton Democrats. Several times when
Byrns has needed him Taylor has
been aligned with opposing forces
The plan of those discontented
with his leadership, it was learned,
was to call a caucus at which it
would be proposed the membership
elect an acting majority leader
pending Bankhead S recovery.
Election of an acting party lead
er who would go along with Byrns,
it was claimed, would go far toward
strengthening administration con-
troll of the house.

AS RESULT 7 Of
POISON DRINK

LOS ANGELES, April 5. U.R)-
Eighteen inmates of the Los An
geles county INDECENT home at Hon
do, Calf, were dangerously i'll to-
Gay as a result of drinking alleged
ly poisoned alcohol, DR.. j. L. Pom
eroy, county health officer, reveal
ed.
DR.. Pomeroy said some of the vic
Tins have become crazed after
drinking the liquor, believed to
have been made with industrial
shellac- alcohol as a base. One in
mate attacked two Downey, Calf,
citizens with a knife after drinking
the liquor, according to DR.. Pom
eroy who said he feared others may
be blinded or paralyzed
Johnathan Kirkpatrick, chief food
inspector for the county health de-
partment, said the liquor was pur-
chased at a Downey drug store,
which was raided last night. Whis-
key, sold for 80 cents quart, was
made from the contents of a can
labeled industrial shellac -alco-
hol, - he said.
The proprietor and clerk of the
drug store were to be given a hear
ing by the county health depart
ment today under the pure food
and drug act.

GAMBLE LOST
BY CONV|CTS
Two Implicated In San Quentin
Break Doomed To Die Fol-
lowing Conviction

SAN RAFAEL, Calf, April 5. U.P)
"A jury verdict decreed today that
Alex Mckay and Joe Kristy, San
Quentin prison convicts, must die
for their parts in the desperate at
tempt of four men to escape prison
last January.
White-faced and trembling, the
two desperadoes heard a jury find
them guilty on IL counts last night,
including two which charged VIOLA
tion of the state s "Lindbergh
law
Offered a promise of life terms
if they pleaded guilty the two men,
sentenced for robberies from Los
Angeles, had elected to face a jury
trial. They gambled on an acquit-
tai which would permit their re-
lease at the expiration Of their Or
iginal terms.
They lost when the jury, after
deliberating slightly less than six
hours, returned a verdict which
made no recommendation for mercy
in convicting them of violating the
law which provides the death pen
atty for kidnapings attended by vio-
lence or robbery.
Judge Thomas Butler will sem
tence them to death in the Marin
county court Saturday, after de-
fense counsel has filed formal ar
guments of appeal.
They were among the four men
who attempted to escape from San
Quentin during meeting of the
state board of prison terms and pa
roles st January. Rudolph
Straight and Fred Landers were the
others.
The four men, armed with guns
smuggled into prison by Clyde
Stevens, paroled bandit, went to
Warden James B. Holohan s home,
slugged the warden and kidnapped
three board members as hostages.
Before leaving the prison in the
warden IS automobile the convictS
forced the board members to change
clothes with them.
After a wild ride the fugitives
were cornered at Valley Ford, near
Petaluma. Straight, the alleged
ringleader, was wounded fatally by
District Attorney Albert Bagshaw
of Marin county, one of the posse
men. The others then surrendered.
Landers pleaded guilty when ar
raigned this week and was given a
life sentence.

ToUnsend Plan
Discussed e d By
Coast Speaker

Five hundred interested listeners
gathered in Wilson school audi
torium last night to hear DR.. O..
Lewis, Long Beach, give a most in
teresting and impressive address on
the objects and workings of the
Townsend Old Age Revolving Pen
sion plan.
The speaker dwelt chiefly on the
accomplishments which this plan
would achieve stressing that it is
principally a recuperative plan or
program. He detailed the various
points of the plan, dwelling on
present day economic conditions
and how the plan would serve its
greatest ends in relieving the
present unemployment.
L. j. Crawford, Pomona, divisional
organizer for Southern California
accompanied DR.. Lewis to Ell Centre
and introduced the main speaker.
DR.. Lewis and Crawford are enroute
to Tennessee and Kentucky where
they will organize those states in
line with the Townsend Plan pro-
gram.
DR.. Lewis is one of the speakers
on the staff from national head
quarters and spoke at the Holtville
Rotary club meeting this noon and
will speak again tonight IN Yuma.
With Crawford being sent east, DR..
H. A. Blume, Brawley, has been
appointed to take his position as
divisional organizer for Southern
California.
