to witness the beating of Their

Make and he wilted to the floor
on his hands and both knees.
Half-smiling and half-snarling,
Make showed that his head was
still fairly clear after going to the
floor for the first time since the
fatal frankie Campbell bout in
1880. He used good judgment and
took the count of nine while Joe
stood nonchalantly in the other
neutral corner.
On his feet and lurching about
the ring, Baer tried to cover up
as the young negro sailed into him
like a chocolate Dempsey. Unfor-
tunately, in his six years of ring
warfare, Make had never learned
to box, and it is doubtful that
even if he had known how-he
could have protected himself from
the savage furry of punches that
bore him back to the ropes shak-

Of the blows. II
The barrage ended with three
sharp left hooks to the face in
rapid succession. Make wilted to
the floor and was in half-kneel-

While the huge crowd screamed

G. H. Ferguson, Canadian high

Even Sir Herbert Samuel,

in Paris, which broke down when
Mussolini refused to sanction an

Immediately after their de-

was sent out by the company to
all its employees. The letter in
structed the employees to secure
10 persons who would write and
sign one of the form letters or
kilograms outlined. The letter
further instructed that the
writer's of the letters use sta
tionery which did not bear the
Cities Service letterhead. WinanS
observed there was nothing on
the letters to indicate that they
emanated from Cities Service.
Senator Black said:
"WelI, that letter was sent
to us by an emplOye, whose
name will not be divulged. We
don't want to jeOpardiSe his

it came from Cities Service and

The witness objected mildly to
reading the letter, but finally did
so.

Winans said that the Cities Ser

1884 was 173 million dollars, and
that the top holding company re-

He said these represented a Its

TEXTILE PACT.
With JAPAN
PROPOSED
Cabinet Committee in
Favor of FriendIv
Curb on Trade
By EARL GOODWIN

This Governments solution Of
the problem of the Japanese men.
ace IN the form of large competi.
tive imports Of textile goods is
to ask the Japanese not to send
us so much of this stuff.
This is the essence of a 30
page report on the much-distressed
New England textile business,
made up by four Cabinet officers
and transmitted to Congress at
noon today by the President.
Secretaries Roper, Hull, Wallace,
and Perkins were appointed by
the President several months ago
at the time the entire New Eng.
land textile industry was up in
arms over business troubles, shut
downs of mills, and other woes.
japanese Blamed
The spokesman for the industry
charged their troubles lay at the
door of the Japanese, who could
send textile goods here and under.
sell anything the New Englanders
could make; and also at the door
of the processing tax which the
textile men said made it impoS.
Sible for them to compete
The suggestion that Japan be
asked not to send us 50 much
textile stuff is outlined in a para
graph of the letter of tranSmittal,
as follows:
Finding from the facts.
that the domestic market has
been disturbed by recent i'm.
ports of cotton textiles from
Japan which, though small in
proportion to total national pro-
ductiOn, have nevertheless
shown sudden and unusual in
crease in certain cOuntabIe
cloths, we recommend that to
deal with this special situation
steps be taken to control these
imports, preferably by means of
a voluntary and friendly agree
ment with Japan on limitations
of shipments of cotton products
to the American market"
The letter declares that this is
the only feasible method at pres.
ent and recommends against tar.
if action.
Tax Defended
The A d m Illustration recon-.
mends retaining the processing
tax, although textile manufacture
ers have protested vigorously
against it. The committee of
Cabinet officers said:
1--WE regard (the taxi as the
most practical among the avail
able means for securing to the
cotton farmers of the nation a
return from cotton equivalent
in terms of purchasing power
to that which existed in the pre-
war period"

COAL BILL HELD
ALTERNATIVE
TO CHAOS
Senate Told Passage
Is Only Hope For
The Industry

AntefmauOmaA News Service
Sweeping regulation or chaos
these are the two alternatives to-
cay facing the bituminous coal
industry, Senator Guffey CD of
Pennsylvania, told the Senate to-
day.
He made his blunt statement
at the conclusion OF a lengthy
speech urging Senate passage of
the Guffey4Snyder bill setting up
q little MIRA" in the bituminous
coal business.
His address came after South
ern Democrats ripped into the
bill as intellectually dishonest"
and predicted it would be kicked
higher than a kite by the courts"
If written into law.
The industry must have regula-
ton or the economically profit
gate American people will quickly
use up the coal reserve under
ground, said Senator Guffey.
Furthermore, the bill is necessary
to provide decent living and work
ing conditions to thousands of
workers, he said.
Sees Early Ruin
He said:
"The proponents of this bill
believe thai its failure to pass
would bring immediate catas-
trOphe to, the bituminOus coal
industry, running many prOduc.
erS, impOverishing half q mil.
lion miners and their two mil.
lion dependents, and ieOpardiz-
ing the nations fuel supply"
Wild and unregulated produc.
ton, cutthroat competition and
bad mining practices have wasted
20 per cent of the best bituminous
reserves, he said.
Senator Guffey listed six major
purposes of the bill, as follows:
Conservation.
2. To assure the consumer an
adequate supply of fuel at reason
able prices, not only for the pres.
ent but in the future.
stabilize Industry"
3. To stabilize an industry that
for so years has failed to conduct
successfully its own business.
4. To provide a living wage for
the $4,000 men in the industry
and their 100000 dependents.
S. To restore to the workmen
and their families their rights as
American citizens, and to put an
end to conditions in those mining
communities where many civil
rights have been taken away from
the miners.
6. To accomplish these things
without cost to the Government
through private ownership and
operation under Government Su-
perViSion.

Virgie Lyttle's mother, in her
little Hopewell, Va, cottage had
premonition of the tragedy
which was to take from her, but
a few weeks later, her curly
haired, hazel-eyed daughter.
It was the mothers last talk
with Virgie.. Virgie returned to
Washington-and death from a
pistol bullet fired into her young
heart by Charles Fred HiSey, her

Friend Tells Story
The story of the mothers pro-
phetic warning was revealed ex7
clusively to The Times by Virgie'S
closest friend, 23-year-old Virginia
Sorrell, of the 400 block Lamont
st. N. w. Miss Sorrell, a fellow
worker in the downtown depart
ment store where the Hopwell
girl was employed, was Virgie's
first acquaintance in Washington.
They lunched together and went
to the movies together. Monday
night, the night before Virgie was
slain, she asked Virginia to &C.
company her on a theater party
with other young persons.
Miss Sorrell said:

Mother Lyttle, and Buddy

Hopewell for Virgie to come home
to them.
Hisey spent the night at the
Sixth precinct.
Argued Over Debt
Police have discarded a theory
that Hisey was infatuated with
Miss Lyttle. According to the po-
lice version Hisey, irritable and
nervous after a period of drink
ing, became incensed when Miss
Lyttle refused his offer of fl
nancial aid. There had been an
argument relative to a debt owed
by Miss Lyttle shortly before she
was shot.
Hisey offered to advance her
sufficient funds with which to
pay the debt and the woman re-
fused, police were told.
Policeman Talbert, who dared
death by walking into a blazing
gunfire, was in Walter Reed Hos
pital today recovering from a
slight bullet wound in the right
arm. He is expected to leave the
hospital in a few days.
