Ttuice previously, Lapal has
gained narrow pote of confidence
in Chamber Of Deputies.
BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January l6.-Premier Lava
of France was granted a vote of con-
fidence, 315 to 252, by his Chamber OF
Deputies today.
Thus the swarthy premier again
triumphed over Lefist Efforts to unseat
his government.
Today's showdown was precipitated
by members of the dominant Radical
Socialist party. who voted in caucus
a condemnation of M. Laval's policies
The premier, however, posed ques-
ton of confidence on postponement
OF debate on his general policies and
won. He asked instead for priority
for a discussion of agricultural mat
tiers.
Previously only the inability Of the
Radical-Socialists to agree among
themselves had saved the cabinet
from collapse before the chamber
convened.
Chamber Recess Called.
A chamber recess was called after
Center and Right deputies had howled
down Socialist.
Obviously perturbed at the prospect
of a cabinet upset, Premier Laval pre-
viously had called in Minister Edouard
Herriot of the Radical-Socialists, and
deputies said he warned him of the
danger of a financial crisis and de-
valuation.
The Radical-Socialists, in addition
to condemning the Laval policies
also voted by 81 to 20 to demand
that members of the party resign
their six cabinet portfolios.
They held this demand in allegiance
however. preferring to fight M. Laval
on the floor of the Chamber on mo-
tion condemning his policies.
The premier, it was understood, told
M Herriot there was danger of an
empty treasury, with the government
unable to borrow funds to meet its
bills, if a cabinet crisis is precipitated
The possibility of Laval's victory
on the floor was left open when the
Radical-Socialists, by a vote of Al tc
40, failed to impose party discipline
on the group.
Free to Vote for Laval.
Thus the members were left free
to vote for Laval If they wish, with
out automatically incurring expulsion
from the party.
Radical-Socialist hostility toward
the premier was based on:
/. The belief he L "lukewarm" in
his support of the League of Nations
2. The feeling that his economic

afternoon at the man whose alleged

isn't it fact that you told Ash
craft to get over into the corner and
keep his mouth shut or you would
smack him?" inquired the attorney.
II did not" Carney answered in
belligerent tone.
Ashcraft aroused from the lethargy
and melancholia which seemingly had
overcome him during the four days of
the trial, seemed to rise from his
chair as he shouted:

Admitted Liquor Parties.
Court attaches and Icenhower
quickly quieted him and Carney con-
tinued his testimony. He admitted
frequent liquor parties at the Third
street rooming house and said he
went out with Mrs. Ashcraft while
her husband was in the hospital, al
though Ashcraft had objected to their
association and once had threatened
him with a gun.
The witness denied he was the
father of Mrs. Josephine Ashcraft's
6-month-old baby Richard, as charged
by a defense witness.
Carney, the last witness in the
lengthy first-degree murder trial, was
put on by the Government in rebuttal
of previous testimony concerning re-
lations between himself and Mrs.
Ashcraft. Under cross-examination
he admitted he visited Mrs. Ashcraft's S
home on Seventh street northeast last
night and the night before The wit
ness said that while Ashcraft was in
the hospital he, his roommate and
Mrs. Ashcraft pooled their food and
she did the cooking.
The case was expected to go to the

mann his only hope to escape the elec-

The information concerning con-
fession that came from a source close
to the leading figures in the case was:
There has been a confession, and it
Is by some one other than Bruno
Richard Hauptmann. There were no
further details. In some official quar-
ters there was much skepticism as to
the merits of such confession.

here said the Governor had mo knowl-
edge of a confession" The Governor,
who has not been at his office for

York in conferences the nature Of
which were kept secret but which were
presumed to be in connection with the
Hauptmann case. in which the Cover
nor has shown marked interest.

ginning to take charge Of our oean

the beans with bordeaux mixture
before the bean beetle gets there,
bv doing this we may be able to
keep him away. -.
The old saying that an ounce OF.
prevention is worth pound OF
cure is true in most of diseases
and IS certainly true in the case
Of the bean beetle. 1t Is much
easer to keep them away by
proper spraying, than to control
them once they get started.
There are several different
things advertised, to use both as
2 dust and as a spray, bet one OF
the best is to mix bordeaux mix
ture and arsenate of lead or cop
per sulfate. The mixture is y
taaspoonfulS of bordeaux mixture
and six teaspoonfuls of arsenate
of lead or copper sulfate mixed
in one gallon Of water and spray
on when the leaves are dry. In
Spraying this mixture on, get 1t
all over the leaves and especially
on the under side of the leaves
for there is where you will find
the beetle doing the largest dam
ace. This is a stomach poison and
when eaten by the beetle it will
usually do the work.
