PRESIDENT SCORES.
IN PREVAILING PAY.
AMENDMENT FIGHT.
Senate Committee Votes to
Reconsider Change in
Work.ReIief Bill.
BALLOT ON M'ADOO
MOTION DUE TODAY
Appropriations Group Acquaint-
ance With New Facts Sought
by Californian.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Roosevelt administration scored
in the first round of the battle today
to knock the McCarran prevailing
wage amendment out of the $780,
100000 work relief bill
BY vote of IA to 9, the motion
presented by Senator McAdoo. Demo-
crat. of California. to reconsider the
action by which the McCarran
amendment was adoped in the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee. was
carried.
The amendment, however, still re-
mains in the bill pending a hearing
this afternoon of Corrington Gill, as
sistant administrator of the F. E.
r. A. After hearing Mr.. Gill. the
committee will vote on a motion to
strike out the McCarran amendment.
Motion Is Explained.
Senator McAdoo explained to the
committee at its meeting this morn
ing that he had offered his motion to
reconsider the rule by which the Nc
Carran amendment was adopted in
order that the committee might be
acquainted with certain facts and fig
ures of a semi-official nature which
he thought should be presented to the
committee.
These facts and figures show that
the retention of the McCarran amend
ment in the bill would increase the
amount of money needed to employ
100000 men and women very
greatly. In fact, it would bring the
total up to s6,340, 100000 instead of
the S4,880, 600, 900 carried in the bill.
The vote on the motion to recon-
slider was as follows: Ayes-Glass of
Virginia. Mcclellan of Tennessee,
Byrnes of South Carolina, Hayden OF
Arizona. Tydings of Maryland. Russell
of Georgia, Coolidge Of Massachu-
sets. Bankhead of Alabama, OMa-
honey of Wyoming. McAdoo of Cali
fornia and Truman of Missouri, Dem
ocrats. and Hale of Maine. Keyes of
New Hampshire and Norbeck OF South
Dakota, Republicans-l4.
Noes - Copeland of New York,
Thomas of Oklahoma, McCarran of
Nevada and Overton of Louisiana,
Democrats, and Nye of North Dakota,
Steiwer Of Oregon, Dickinson of Iowa,
Townsend of Delaware and Carey of
Wyoming. Republicans-9
Senator Overton of Louisiana voted
by proxy.
Adams Is Absent.
One member of the committee, Sem
ator Adams, Democrat, of Colorado.
was absent. He had voted against
the McCarran amendment when it
first was adopted.
Presumably the President has won
his fight to eliminate the McCarran
amendment. under which men and
women employed on work-relief prof.
ects would receive the prevailing wage
paid in private industry for such work
At all events, the committee is to

CAPITAL WATCHES
FARLEY ON LABOR
White House Conference
With A. F. of |. Chiefs
May Heal Rift.
Nv the Assocta ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Capital watched today to see If
the Roosevelt administration and the
American Federation of Labor leader
ship would close their breach at a con-
ference called for this afternoon.
The Executive Council of the A. F.
of L., comprising the heads of various
federation unions. gathered for an i'm
portant session with the President at
the White House about 3 pm.
There was no announcement as to
what would be discussed. but it was
generally believed that the auto and
cigarette codes, with both of which the
federation finds fault, would be major
topics. Capital observers looked upon
the meeting as fraught with possible
significance for future relations be-
tween the union leaders and the adj
ministration.
Cigarette Code Signed.
After months of negotiations a
cigarette code was signed by President
Roosevelt yesterday. prescribing a 40
hour week with some exceptions and
minimum wages ranging from Is to
40 cents an hour.
The A. F. of L. leadership criticized
this code, though not with the tones
of bitterness with which it aSsailed
Donald Richberg, presidential adviser,
after the recent renewal of the auto
mobile code. For cigarettes, union
labor wanted 36-hour week and min
imum wages ranging upward from IS
cents an hour.
President william Green of the A.
F. of L., said minimum wage rate
of Is cents an hour is too low" He
said the hopes of labor were now pin
ned on a forthcoming Government
survey of hours and wages.
President Orders Study.
"In its present FORM" President
Roosevelt said last night, "the code is
a compromise offering some improve
ment over the terms proposed in the
code as 1t stood in November.
II am not satisfied with many Of
the provisions and I have directed
the Division of Research and Plan
ming of N. r. A. to make o study OF
conditions in the industry relating to
wages and hours of labor and sub
init report.
1T Is reported to me that adequate
information Is lacking so that the
exact effects Of the provisions IN the
code, especially as effecting smaller
enterprises, are not clear"
President Green said:
Our hope Is now centered upon
this investigation and we are sure 1t
will develop facts to support our Ell
forts for the 36-hour week. When

CITY HEADS ASK
AIRPORT FUND AID
Will Favor GraveIIy Point
Plan Only if U. S. Pays
Three-Fourths.

Unless the Federal Government is
prepared to assume approximately rs
per cent of the cost of establishing
an airport for the District of Colun-
bia, the District Commissioners will
oppose any airport program for WASH
ington this year.
Appearing before a House subcoin-
mittee now considering the Smith
Gravelly Point airport bill, Commits
sioner Melvin C. Hazen, just out of
the hospital, and Engineer Commits
sioner Sultan told the committee the
District is in no position to spend
large amount for airport purposes.
Hazen said the Commissioners
would like to see a public airport IN
Washington very much but right now
project unless We have some addi-
tional sources of revenue"
Sees U. 5. Benefited Most.
Hazen expressed the belief that the
Federal Government will derive more
benefit from a civil air terminal than
would the citizens of Washington and
said the United States should bear
a major part of the cost.
In response to questions he out
lined a program which would call for
the Federal Government paying en-
tirely for the cost of dredging the
Potomac channel and dumping the
material at Gravelly Poin. To this
end. he suggested a 100000 Public
Works Administration loan and an
advance of the necessary additional
amount of approximately $1,000
for a period of about 10 years without
interest. At the end of the 10-year
period, the District would repay to the
Federal Government half the Sl,l00.-
900 as its total share of the airport
expense aggregating an estimated
s2,500,000.
Both Firm In Stand.
Unless the District can obtain such
terms. both Hazen and Sultan testi-
fed, they are opposed to any airport
program now.
Unless you get these terms of
three to one, you do not want any
airport?" Representative Hull of
Wisconsin asked Commissioner Sultan.
In view of the financial situation of
the District at present, we do not, +"
Sultan replied.
Both Commissioners emphatically
Endorsed the Gravelly Point site.
II believe Gravelly Point is the best
available location that I know Of"
Hazen said.
He suggested that if an airport is
constructed and operated under any
form of commission control that COM
mission should include as members
the District Engineer Commissioner.
the Army engineer for the local dis
trict and the superintendent of Ma
tional Capital Parks.

Anthony NJ Hauck. youthful prose-

the States resume of its case against
Bruno Richard Hauptmann as the
trial reconvened this morning. His
appearance precedes the defense's
final plea for Hauptmann's acquittal.
to be given by Edward J. Reilly, chief
of defense counsel.
Hauck's voice was of converse
tional tone as he began.
His first words were of thanks to
the jury for its attention and inter
est in the case.
You have listened to more than
a million and half words of testi-
mony and watched over $50 exhibits
in this case" he said.
He next explained how the attor-
ney generals department had come
into the cast at his request and then
launched into the body of the state
ment.
The State of New Jersey contends
that it has proven concluSively that
Bruno Richard Hauptmann killed the
Lindbergh baby and is guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree" Hauck said
with emphasis.
In a crime of murder, he went on,
corpus deficit must be proven.
Recalls Events
Before kidnapping.
The corpus deficit was the child
that on the afternoon of March l,
1882. Hauck went on, was "a normal
child, it ate, slept and played as do
my children
The earnest young prosecutor re-
cited the events preceding the kidnap-
ing. Betty Cow, the nurse, came to
the Hopewell home that Afternoon,
made a little shirt for the baby
treated him for slight cold, with the
aid of his mother, and put it to bed.
The baby. he said, was put in bed
and its covers were pinned to the crib
mattress.
Now at o'clock, Miss Cow said
she looked at her watch, and she
went downstairs and had something
to eat. Col. and Mrs Lindbergh were
downstairs and at one time upstairs
in their room.
AT about 10 o'clock Miss Cow went
back to see how the baby was. She
walked over to the crib and listened to
hear his breathing"
He paused for moment.
The baby was not there"
He sketched swiftly one apprehen-
sion that gripped the Lindbergh house
hold then. how the rooms we're
searched. how Lindbergh grabbed his
rifle as he said to his wife:
Anne, they have stolen our baby"
Hauck dropped his voice. 1T was

hopeless case because they could
not figure what had made the
arm so useless.
When Linke arrived in Chicago
to spend the winter months, the
physicians he had consulted num-
bered A. He had almost given
up hope himself.
But one day he ran into CletuS
Dixon, manager of the Davenport
Club, of the Mississippi Valley
League, the circuit Linke had
pitched in before his trial with the
Griffmen.
Dixon took him to see DR.. Stin-
son, Well-knoWn Chicago oSteopath,
who once took care of Daven-
port pitchers. Stinson diagnosed
Linke's trouble as an ailment Of
the nerves controlling the flow Of
blood through the arm.
He began working on the young
ster. The climax Of his efforts
came the other day when he or
dered the chubby righthander to
throw a ball across the field house
at the University of Chicago.
Test is Success
Linke threw. The ball left his
arm with all it's old zip. I'm
mediately Linke's face beamed.
He was satified that the old
power was in the arm again.
At Hot Springs Linke will get
down to the normal weight he
carries during the baseball sea-
son-195. At Biloxi he will test
his arm to the fullest extent, for
as he says, his chief desire is
to stay in the big league this
year if such a thing is possible.
Prexy Clark Griffith and Man
ager Bucky Harris both hope it
will be possible. For they've
been interested in the youngster
for months now and hope the
good news he has sent this way
will materialize into something
concrete when the gong sounds,
come April Is.

er1 by the time the 1885 cam
paign rolls around.
At the present, it is the plan
to have Artie direct the Eastern
track team. This is to be fol-
lowed by Coach Artie'S presence
as Charlie Guyon's assistant in
football next fall.
This makes Guyon coaching
three sports at the school, namely,
football, basketball and baseball.
These plans are almost sure to
be changed as Guyon can well
sidetrack basketball-he's done it
before-ir order that Boyd might
get in the innings he's so fitted
for.
Great Success
At Tech, Coach Artie enjoyed
the greatest of success. His teams
were always threats while twice
they won championships. His
first title machine was in the
days of jake Goldblatt and Paul
Brown. His next was when such
youngsters as Everett Russell, Jim
Reed and Fred Thomas were in
uniform.
In between these championship
seasons Artie has developed many
a promising basketball prospect.
Reds DAILY is one. Waverly Wheeler
is another. Artie Willison is still
another, while members of the
present team can be added to the
list, these including Josh Billings,
Andy Farrell, Milton MULTI,
George Roland, and Bill Rea.
At Eastern, Boyd should fare
even better-going on the know
ledge that the talent at the school
has been ever powerful anyway.
But too much cannot be discussed
about it now, since officials at the
school are not thinking Of next
years assignments and will not
until athletics are begun in the
fall of 1885.
Last Appearance
In the meanwhile, Boyd today
makes his last appearance of the
current floor campaign as coach
of the Tech High Five. His team
plays Eastern in the Tech gym
nasium at $3.50 p. m. in one Of the
games which closes the interhigh
race for the season. Western meets
Central in the other contest in
the Roosevelt gymnasium at
$3.50 p. m.
The results of these trays will
be quite interesting. Western, iHl
second place, needs only one more
victory to clinch those honors.
Techs only chance to tie for the
position is by defeating Eastern
while Western loses to Central.
The dope has it that Western will
win from Central and Tech will
lose to Eastern. But it will be an
interesting afternoon just the
same because of the possibilities
Of upset consequences.

Both freshman and varsity
games are scheduled to be played,
the yearlings starting things at
7:15 o'clock with the varsity teams
slated to take the floor at 8:15.
A victory tomorrow night would
put the Blue Devils on equal foot

1895 Big Five campaign and set
the stage for a near-championship
battle when Duke and Carolina
play return game at Chapel Hill
Saturday night.
Duke has been travelling at a.
fast pace recently. In a period of
a week they turned back Washing
ton and Lees conference champs
twice, defeated V. P. 1, and
brought glory to themselves with
an unexpected victory over North
Cardinals White Phantoms.
While the Blue Devils have
been outplayed and defeated a
number of times this season, they
have never been outfought. The
spirit they have shown this season,
if continued, will carry them
through their remaining games
with success.
The first meeting Of Davidson
