UTILITY BILL IS
in CONFERENCE
OF BOTH HOUSES
"Death Sentence" Clause
Is Still Burning Issue
of Congress Leaders

Washington. July "a UP)-
The bitter fight over the admins
trations utility holding company
bill shifted today to a senate-house
conference with the death SEN
tence" clause the major issue.
The senate approved it; the
house rejected it. There was little
to indicate either would recede. A
compromise was discussed unoffi-
cially to break an expected dead
lock.
Administration and power COM
pany efforts to sway congress-al-
ready subject to house and senate
lobby inquiries-were continued
over the weekend.
Suggestion Rejected
President Roosevelt rejected sug-
gestions he carry the death sem
tekce" issue to the country in the
1886 presidential campaign and
sent new instructions to Capitol hill
that the Wheeler Rayburn bill
must not be permitted to die in
conference.
Philip H. Gadsden, chairman of
the committee of public utility
executives, which spent 100000
fighting the bill, and the Associ-
ated Gas & Electric System. which
spent 100000, issued statements
demanding elimination of the
death sentence" provision,
The senate committee, which re-
vealed thousands of fake tele-
grams sent by agents of the Asso-
ciated Gas and Electric System OPP
posing the bill, and the house COM
mittee which inquired into alleged
administration lobbying methods.
will resume separate hearings on
lobbying activities tomorrow.
Try for Compromise
Administration leaders were re-
ported unwilling to send the death
sentence" clause back to- the house
where it was soundly beaten, and
indicated instead that every effort
would be made to compromise diff
ferences between the two houses in
conference"
AS passed by the senate. the bill
proposes to eliminate all utility
holding companies after 1912
which do not fit into a geographic
ally. economically integrated sys-
tenn. The house adopted a provi-
sion providing strict regulation.
The compromise, discussed in7
formally on Capitol hill, would
seek to incorporate in the measure
a list of qualifications for holding
companies. These would guide the
securities commission in admins
tration of the act and would serve
as limitations. If utility holding
company was unable to meet speci-
fications, 1t would be wiped out.
Bring Out Good Bill
Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D.,
Mont, who heads senate conferees,
declined to comment on possibili-
ties of a compromise, but said he

GOVERNOR NICE
IN CONFERENCE

San Francisco, July 22.-(UP).
Governor Harry w. Nice of
Maryland, mentioned widely as a
candidate for the republican presi-
Dental nomination in 1886, con-
ferred with San Francisco repub-
lican leaders today. The confer
ences preceded a luncheon meeting
of the Union League club, at
which Nice was to be the prin-
cipal speaker.
The Maryland executive, the
third member of his party to win
the gubernatorial post in rs years,
came here from Palo Alto where
he was a guest of former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover.
Although Paul. Sexson, Hoover
secretary, said their meeting was
purely social in nature" it was
believed that the titular head of the
party and the man who is mem
toned as his successor talked over
the political situation.
After his San Francisco address,
Nice intends to fly to Chicago to
confer with Silas Strawn, former
president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce.

ants and hotels on July LIST, the
first day on which such notices
could be published. Action on the
part of the state liquor commission
takes three weeks, and many had
hoped that the first of the new per-
mits would be issued and in this
city this morning. Taverns must
also secure new permits, but can
serve only beer.
The coming of the new permits
means the end of "elbow-bending"
at the bar, for the new liquor law
stipulates that drinks must be
served at tables. Most local places
will not remove their bars, unless
they find that they have to, but
are pla, ing in extra tables for the
benefit of those who would ordinr-
lily drink at the bar.
Hard liquor can be sold by the
drink at tables, under the new
permits from 9 a. m. to midnight,
standard time. The board of al
dermen recently voted to allow
sale of liquor with meals on Sun
days from noon to 9 D. m.

Barlow Bros. Co. has a claim OF
$697.50. The total claims against

YEAR OLD FIGHT
RAGING AGAIN

Metz, Mo-, July 22-UP)-
While no call has been received
for the state militia, the year-old
battle between the women and
men officials of this town grew
more tense today. Each group re-
fused to yield it's rights.
Two years ago the village of
210 elected all women officers.
Tired of petticoat rule, an all-male
slate was elected last year but the
women have refused to yield.
The weaker" sex claimed the
men were not legally sworn into
Office and that members Of the
council were disrespectful. The
masculine council sent its city clerk
for the city's books but the clerk
returned with red ears and empty
hands.

WILL AID CITIES
TO SHARE PUBLIC
WORKS PROGRAM
May Force Down Interest
Rates to Help Out Those
Handicapped

Washington, July 22-U.P.)-
Work-relief officials to-day sought
to aid municipalities to share in the
$500. 100000 public works program
by attempting to force down inter-
est rates charged by private capital
for construction loans. The public
works administration will make
any city or political subdivision an
outright grant of As per cent of a
projects cost, and lend the SIS per
cent balance of 4 per cent from the
PWA revolving fund. The interest
rate was selected so states, coun-
ties and cities would take the gov
ernments As per cent gift, then
borrow the other SIS per cent from
banks, insurance companies and
other sources.
Some Cities Handicapped
Directors of the $4,000, 1000. 900
employment program discovered,
however, that several cities with
sound enough credit to borrow
money at 81 per cent could not get
financing from private sources for
less than 3.9. The situation was
brought before President Roose-
welt, Public Works Administrator
Harold L. Ickes and Works Pro-
gress Administrator Harry L. Hop
kins by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuar-
dia, head of the U. s. conference of
mayors.
The president, through his ad-
visory work-relief board. appoint
ed a committee to hear complaints
from individual cities, empowering
its three members to lend PWA
money to municipalities at less
than per cent.
Members of Committee
The committee will be composed
of LaGuardia, Chairman Jesse
Jones of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation, and Daniel
Bell, acting budget director. They
plan to hold their first meeting
soon.

SEES It AS BEST
WAY TO TITLE CO
Winner to Meet Braddock.
Jacobs Coming to U. S.
to Study Offers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ ERLIN, July 16.--Max Schmel-
- ing has not yet decided def
nitely whether he will fight
IL Joe Louis or Max Baer in
New York this September, but the
German heavyweight today intimated
he leaned toward acceptance Of Madi-
son Square Gardens proposition be-
cause 1t offers a shot at the title.
The Gardens proposal is for a
Schmeling-B -Baer match in New York,
on or about September 26, the winner
to meet James j. Braddock. in a
championship match in June. 1886.
Schmeling had understood Baer's
hands were likely to keep him out of
the ring indefinitely, but the German
has been assured by the Garden, in
repeated telephone calls. that the for
mer champion will be in condition to
fight this September.
Believed Baer SheIved.
1T WAS because of his doubts about
Baer that Schmeling turned to the
possibility of a match with Louis, the
Detroit Negro. Financial inducements
also were attractive, but the Twen-
tieth Century Club, seeking the
Schmeling-L match, baked at de-
posting $150,000 in Germany, as a
guarantee for the German fighter. It
was understood Mike Jacobs, acting
for the Twentieth Century Club, pro-
posed a percentage increase for
Schmeling in lieu of making a cash
deposit in Berlin
This apparently was acceptable to
Schmeling and his American man
ager, Joe Jacobs, until the Garden
moved back into the picture with the
offer of Baer bout and title shot.
AS matters stand now Joe Jacobs
has booked passage on the George
Washington, sailing for New York to-
morrow. to examine both propositions
on Schmelings behalf and accept the
better offer. Schmeling will not sign
until he has further and more defii-
mite information, regardless of the
claims of promoters in New York.
