ALLENE LAMs0N

SAN JOSE, Cal, May is GIN.
S).-"There will be no compro-
miSe!"
His eyes flashing, David A.
Lamson made that statement in
his cell today, announcing he
would put his life at stake again
before a jNry rather than enter
into a IDEAL" with the prosecu-
ton for a plea of guilty to either
manslaughter or second degree
murder.
Lamson's 13-week re-trial on the
charge of killing his wife, Allene,
in the Stanford University bath
tub death case, ended in a jury
disagreement yesterday. The jur.
orS stood 9 to 3 for a conviction
Of second degree murder.
Word of a IDEAL" between the
prosecution and defense swept
the courthouse shortly after Su-
perior Judge r. r. Syer dismissed
the seven men and five women
who disagreed over Lamson's fate
after celebrating IS hours and
10 minutes, a new record for
long debate in a murder case.
LamSon is to appear before
Judge Syer Friday to have a date
fixed for his third trial. The
first jury decreed a penalty Of
death, but it's verdict later was
set aside by the State Supreme
Court.

ACTION ON
ARRESTS
Fowler, BaIIistics Expert, Is
sues Report on Pistol
Found in Ash Pile

AS the police inquiry widened,
Sergt. George Darnell, chief Of the
homicide squad, today denied re-
ports that he contemplated lock-
ing up two suspects in connection
with the Beulah Limerick murder
case. He said:
1--WE aren't locking anybody
up until we have something to
lock them up for"
Darnell said he had not talked
with anyone in the Limerick fam.
lily since the finding of the rs
caliber automatic pistol in the ash
pile back of the Limerick home
two weeks ago.
Asked if he had been in touch
with the girls mother or her
brother, Vernon, Darnell said he
had not.
Fowler Praised
The homicide squad will have
charge Of the case from now ON,
according to Major Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of Police.
Major Brown gave full credit to
Lieut.. John Fowler, ballisticS ex-
pert, In finding The serial number
on the rusty weapon. He said:
eve think Lieutenant Fowler
has done fine job. AS you
probably know, another balls
tics expert had the gun for two
weeks and could not identify it.
We feel certain that the gun is
the one used to kill Beulah
Limerick"
Capt. Edward j. Kelly, attached
to the Third precinct, who was in
charge Of the homicide squad in
December, 1880, when the murder
was committed, stated that clean.
erS from the Police Department
had "Scraped" the top and rear
of the ash pile two days after the
murder, but had found nothing.
They had also dug up ground
around the house and searched it
from cellar to garnet without re-
suits, he said.

PATMAN BLOC
AIDED BY
DELAY IN
VETO
Notes of Reynolds and Chavez
May Be Available to
Override President

Private assurances that Vice
President John N. Garner favors
enactment o fthe Patman bonus
bill were being used today by pro-
ponents of the measure as they
prepared for the fight to over.
ride the expected presidential
veto Of the measure.
It was stated at the Capitol
that Vice President Garner feels
it would be politically wise" for
the Senate to pass the bonus
over a veto.
It has been rumored that the
Vice President has even suggested
this policy to the President, de-
spite the fact that this places
him in conflict with the Roose-
welt policy on bonus legislation.
Garner Silent
The Vice President has not
denied the report as to his atti-
tude generally accepted on Capt.
tol Hill.
Confident that with a full SEN
ate attendance they can override
the expected veto Of the bonus,
advocates of the Patman bill, call
ing for the printing Of 2,200 mil
lion dollars to make possible i'm
mediate cash payment refused to
releasesthe measure until they are
satisfied their full strength will be
available when the veto vote comes
up. f. y
Senator Elmer Thomas CD of
Oklahoma, Senate bonus leader,
said he does not know when he
will withdraw his motion to recon
slider the measure. He made this
motion for the purpose Of keeping
a veto message on the, measure
from being thrown back at Con-
gresS until his forces are ready to
beat it.
Situation Indefinite
He pointed out that a half
dozen of the Senators who will
vote with him to override the veto
are out of town today and will not
be back for another day or two. He
would not say, however, that he
will withdraw his motion within
two days, since it is possible that
some of the others expected to
vote to override might be out Of
the city by then. He added:
"That's quite indefinite, I.
know, but that's the way the
situation is right nOw-all up in
the air."
One vote that the Patmanites
in the Senate have been counting
upon is that of the Senator-elect
from New Mexico, Dennis Chavez,
who recently was appointed to
take the seat of the late Senator
Bronson Cutting. Some have Sug-
gested that Mr.. Chavez, who is a
bonus advocate, may have been
urged by some Administration ad-
wiser to refrain from coming to
Washington to take his Senate
seat until after the veto is voted
upon.
However, Senator Thomas and
those leading the fight with him
in the Senate, continue to be OPP
timiStic over their chances of beat
ing the veto in the Senate-there
being little doubt that the House
will defeat the veto by good
margin.
The confidence of the bonus
bloc is due not a little to the fact

BYRNS FIGHTS
FOR2YEARS
Of NRA
Defies Senators Who Declare
g Months Extension of
Agency Is Limit
International News Service

International News Service
Speaker Byrns today predicted
that the House would vote a
two-year extension of the MIRA
despite passage Of the Clark
resolution, extending its life nine
months, in the Senate late yes
terday.
Accepting the challenge Of
Senate leaders, who warned that
the NRA may be abolished en-
tirely unless the Clark resolution
is accepted, Speaker Byrns said
an effort would be made to pass
a bill satisfactory to the White
House.
The Clark resolution, which ex-
tends life of the MIRA until April
/, 1886, and curtails its scope, was
sent to the House Ways and
Means Committee for action.
Speaker Byrns said: .,..
II feel very certain that the
House Is disposed 10 extend the
NRA. for two years on the the
Ory that IL it is worth extend
ing at all, this should be done.
at will be taken up without
delay, and 1 hope the Ways and
Means Committee will report it
in q few days with proper mod
ificati0nS.
"The House of course will
PASS its own bill and it then will
be subject to conference with
the Senate"
Accompanying Senate passage
was a warning from Senator
Harrison CD of Mississippi,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, that the Senate will
reject a House two-year extern
sion bill.
Caucus Called
Caught unawares by the start
ling speed of the Senate, which
approved the measure in two
hours, House Democrats on the
Ways and Means Committee were
called into a secret caucus with
Charles West, President RooSevelt'S
liaison officer. Postponing a final
decision, the committee members
tentatively agreed to hold extern
sive hearings on the bill and to
fight to extend the NRA beyond
the 1886 elections.
Other provisions Of the Clark
resolution are expected to be &C
cepted by the AdminiSt ration.
They include:
i. Bans price-fixing under codes
except in codes for mineral re-
sources industries which already
have these provisions.
2. Limits codes to interstate
businesses.
8. Fixes 30-day period in which
President Roosevelt could revise
code structures.
Donald r. Richberg, chairman
Of the National Recovery Board,
characterized the Senate'S action
in extending the NRA only until
April / next as complete folly"
Harrison Warning
House leaders were angered over
the pointed statements Of Senator
Harrison. He warned that any
effort to extend the MIRA two
more years might cause its aboli-
ton altogether after its expira-
ton date, June 16. He declared:
"If the House changes the
time extension, we will send the
bill right back to the House
without taking any action on it."
Representative Mccormack CD
of Massachusetts retorted:
"That is contrary to the spirit
under which Congress operates
and if pursued on every piece
of legislation would defeat the
purpose of representative gov.
eminent"
A limited extension Of the act,
he said, means the Administra.
ton will suffer chiefly from lack
Of trained personnel as those seek

CHAPTER XXI
Katharine brought her car to
stop before the drug store. the
windows of which were emblaz-
loned and placarded with pictur-
esuue endorsements. A lifesized
cardboard figure of blond girl
ornamented the left-hand corner.
Issuing from her mouth was a
balloon explaining that daily use
of some sort of patented prod!
uct gave her that rose and gold
complexion. y.--,.,.. -.
Two or three shabbily-dressed
men loafed in the shade of the
bank building. A child on roller
skates came coasting dizzily down
| the incline and took the corner
on high, both arms spreadeagled
for balance. Katharine, nodding
| to Mrs. Enhance who ran the
lending library, disappeared into
| the drug store. She had a great
many small errands to do for
Berthe; there was soap and
witchhazel and mending tape and
black ink on the list. The cut
rate drug store represented one
iof Rertine's pet economies. She
could have telephoned to Cap
lan's, Just; around the corner. and
; had all the purchases delivered!
as most of the people down on
. the Point did! But, while she
could be wildly extravaganza in
laroer matters, she drew the line
here.
Katharine gave her order alb
stractedly to the clerk behind
J the counter. She was not think
| mo of her errands. She was re-
fleeing, with some surprise,
| that it was really easier than she
| had thought to forget the tall,

his horse so easily and who had

Her relief was so great that
her knees began to tremble. If
he had been out on the bride

the news to him?
Tips disappeared. Katherine
got out of the car, her ears
straining nervously for the sound
OF a following motor on the lane.

not have the air of a guilty man
but then you never could tell.

He opened the door for her
and she flung herself in. She
had the engine running, triumph
antly.
"Come along" she cried. "Hur-

He was in the seat beside her.
She was out of the lane and
away, winding up the road away
from the town.

dropped penny into the slot. But
her eyes sought out the face of

ruddy face under the stiff straw
hat.
"Feller who calls himself Mi
chael Heatheroe," drawled this
individual. "Where's the post
office, buddy? Maybe we can get
the information there" The soda
boy was shaking his head in the
negative. No, he hadn't heard
of Michael Heatheroe.
Katharine, biting her lips, shift
m CHER package from one hand
to another, was conscious of a
queer lightness in her head. The
gray-haired man showed his de-
/ tective's badge out of sight again.
Detectives-after Michael!
She was never certain after
ward how she got there-she did
not remember pushing open the
swinging door and emerging from

interior to the oven that was the
pavement. But she was in her
car, her foot on the starter, be-

could not bother about Berthe
now. If you had a friend and
he was in trouble. you did some
thing about it, didn't you?
| She did not argue it out: she
was not aware of any problem
needing TO be decided. 1t was
as simple as this. If Michael
were in danger, and she knew of
it. Why then she must warn him.
She had always known, in the
hack Of her brain, that there was
some mystery about Michael. But
whatever he had been or done,
he wasn't to be caught like p
rat in a trap. Those hard-faced
men with the BADGES should have
nothing to do with him.

house without turning her head.
There were two white flashes on
the lawn that she assumed to be
Sybil and Diana, but Katherine
dared not take her eyes off the
road even to wave. Any moment

Innicock's main street to find the
winding roads that ran back of
