B0UNDARYLINE
REPORT CITED
'UNS0UND'
House Judiciary Group
Hears Attack Upon
Solution Offered

Interests of the Federal Govern
ment would be "disastrously af-
fected" should the District-Vir-
ginia boundary commission report
be approved by Congress, the
House Judiciary Committee was
told today by H. C. Classic, spokes-
man for the Department Of Justice
at the committees hearing on the
dispute.
He declared that if the report
is accepted you will wipe out in
one sweep all the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United
States relative to this matter" "
adding that territory always held
to be the property of the Federal
Government would be turned over,
not to Virginia, but to private
individuals.
Calls 1t UnSOund
He pointed out that, in line
with other decisions it has made,
the Supreme Court held that the
Acqueduct Bridge was taxable by
the District government to the
high water-mark on the Virginia
side of the Potomac River, and
that the decisions of the Supreme
Court could not be disregarded
for report submitted by three
laymen. He added:
Il don't think you gentlemen
would ratify a report which is
fundamentally unS0und in law
and which would bring about
a radically revolutionary change
in the condition of this bound
ary."
Mr.. Classic characterized the
report of the boundary commits
sion as unbalanced" and de-
clared it resulted in a question
Of "headS I win. tails you lose"
as far as the Federal Govern
ment's rights are concerned.
Today'S hearing, the first held
by the Judiciary Committee on
the report of the boundary com.
mission, which recommended the
establishment of the boundary at
the low watermark on the Vir-
ginia side of the river from
headland to headland," opened
with considerable argument as to
the meaning of "headland to
headland."
Ambiguous Term
Assistant Attorney General
Harry w. Blair declared the term
was ambiguous" and for that
reason made it difficult for op-
posing forces to discuss it prop.
erly.
Speaking for the National Park
and Planning Commission, it's Sec
retary, Thomas Settle, told the
committee that he had received
letter from the Coast and Geo
detic survey asserting that the
term "loW water mark from head
land to headland" is open to a
wide range of Interpretation. and
that if the survey were left to
judge it, that agency would be
virtually made the adjudicator of
the dispute.
Representative ward w.
Smith CD of Virginia said he is
perfectly willing to permit the
survey agency to judge the mat
ter. and he would amend his bill
according to it's findings.

FUND IS SOUGHT
TO MEET AAA
PAYMENTS
$296, ,185 900 Asked
to Write Off Moral
Indebtedness
international News Service

A supplemental budget estimate
calling for appropriation of $685.
1876 900 and uneXpended balances
to meet contract payments and
moral obligations under the out.
lawed AAA, was laid before the
House Appropriations Committee
today.
The sum, requested by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Director OF
the Budget D. w. Bell, would in
clude payment Of rental and bene,
fits to farmers, salaries and all
other administrative expenses of
the AAA.
AS the Appropriations Commit
te considered the budget estimate,
Senate and House Agriculture
Committees both studied the pro
posed AAA soil conservation and
domestic allotment substitute
plan, which the Administration
hopes to rush through both houses
by February Is.
Limited to Contracts
The 1926, 1876 900 budget esti.
mate is limited to contracts
entered into by AAA before the Su-
preme Court decision of January
6. 1886. The proposed enactment
provides that:
"The expenditures authorized
under this appropriation shall
include, but shall not be limited
to. rental and benefit payments,
removal Of surplus agriculture
commodities and the products
thereof, expenditures for rent
and personal services in the Dis
trict of Columbia and elsewhere,
StenOgraphic-repOrting services,
supplies and equipment. pur.
chase and exchange Of law
books, books of reference, direc-
tories, periodicals, newspapers,
travelling expenses, printing and
binding in addition to alIOt-
mentS under existing law, and
such other expenses as may be
necessary for the accomplish
ments of the purposes Of this ap-
preparation"
PAYMENTS TO FARMERS
While payments on contracts
are limited to those entered into
before January 6, 1886, the pro
posed enactment adds:
Except that such funds shall
be available for rental and
benefit payments in an amount
that the secretary determines to
be fair and equitable to farmers
who have applied for contracts
and who prior to January 6,
1886, have in good faith made
adjustments in acreage and
otherwise complied with the
regulations of the Secretary of
Agriculture in connection with
a crop program. regardless Of
whether contracts have been
signed"
This sum would be in addition
to- the estimated $500, 900, ,00C
necessary to finance the proposed
new farm program, which has
been estimated as including $440,
900, 900 for the subsidy program
and $60,000,000 for the crop loan
office.

"Stingy, am I? You fat-headed
migrate you! I give you $40 each
month. Stint myself outrage
ously."
"You look stinted with SO
pounds more beef than two
women need!"
"Oh, I'm fat, am I? So you'll

fine. elegant dandy may keep up

OK you! I gave you a chance to
be decent, Esther. You won't take
it. Okay, then, how about paying
for the carpentering I did on your
cottage last summer? Worth q
good 5000"
You gally little rat! kept the
crowd of you three days each
week On the fat of the land.
Try and get it!'
Despite Esther's angry refusal,
Henry complacently waited for
aid. She'd kick through, all right,
all right. She was deeply attached
to- him. He knew this. And
though she had but very little,
she'd not see him in bread line.
Just wait!
His hopes were rudely daunted.
The day after their quarrel Esther,
coming for an unexpected visit,
caught her brother gambling at
the cigar store. So intent was he
on a game of "26" he didn't even
know she stood there watching.
She saw him lose SO.
Esther came to the house in
red fury. She hurled accusations
right and left.
Her brother a gambler! A cheap
little tintype cigar-store gambler!
"You were never the right wife
for him, Dora Doran I said it
years ago. I still say it,"
Dora sat with a shawl Rugged
miserably about her. She had her
eyes closed and her emaciated
face resting against the chair. She
took fire at this. She said with
unusual asperity: II remember
that you said it, Esther. Loudly
and often. You tried hard to stop
our marriage. You failed! You
found neither a wife for Henry
nor husband for YOURSELF"
"A great credit to you, Dora,
that you gained a man and trans
formed him to a tramp! You've
shielded him in his vice. My
money-money I've shaved and
sacrificed to give you, flung away
in a slot machine! You're utterly
worthless, the pair of you!"
She turned upon Nell: "And
you, you little fool, rushing into
marriage with a nincompoop who
can't buy you loaf Of bread! You
had chance to marry a man
with money. But you didn't ask
my advice. You've made your bed
now lie on It'll"
Gall I want is the chance to
lie in it," Nell famed. I've not
been stalling around waiting for
you to throw out the lifeline. I've
found an apartment. I'll pay for
it. And feed your brother in the
bargain That's the bed of roses
my mother landed on when she
tied up with the marvellous
Masons!"
Esther picked up her bag with
menacing: You'll pay for your
sass, Miss" and went flouncing
from the house.

I'll speak to my sister,"
If Nell cherished any hope of
relief through Aunt Esther, it was
dashed that afternoon when
Henry's sister came on visit.
Esther Mason was so years old.
A proud, vigorous woman with q
large nose and bristling iron-gray
hair slicked from her forehead
to a figure eight just above her
neck. Shed worn her hair in this
fashion since 1902. She was a
black-eyed passionate young girl
just II then and madly in love
with the dentist who was straight
ening her fine, hard teeth. To
this day she had the little pink
rose he carelessly gave her. How
she had longed to fling herself
in his arms. How she had waited
and prayed for him to kiss her,
She grew faint even yet when she
recalled the morning his wedding
announcement arrived. No one in
her family knew the tragedy that
had come so silently to Esther.
She grieved desperately. She
withdrew into herself-an angry
woman, full of contempt for men
and for the soft, winsome, kitten.
like creatures men too often
choose for wives.
Dora Mason was one of these.
Esther had little love for her sis
ter-in-law and not much more for
Nell. She took it as a personal
infringement that Nom was now
i'll and Nell had lost her job.
The interview between Henry
and his sister began affably. 1t
proceeded from casual comment
to biting insult. In a moment
they were tearing each other to
pieces with the finished technique
of the family brawl.
Said Henry: II was talking to
Cowan the other day. There's
building boom coming on"
"Of course there isl" remarked
Esther with the Arrogance of the
woman who has dabbed a bit in
stocks and bonds, "All financial
experts predict an upswing in the
market"
"Cowan will build two apart
ments; in the Bronx. I'm to be
foreman. I'll be able to support
my family again, thank God!"
Esther caught a sudden signifi.
canoe in her brothers speech. She
waited, bristling.
"I'll be earning a good fifty a
week. Naturally I don't want to
move Dora to a tenement at this
stage of the game. If you could
just tide us over a month or
two"
Esther sprang to her feet, shak-
ing truculent finger in Henry's
face: ''Tide you over? Till your
pipe dreams come true? I'm just

TRANSIENT TRIES
TO END 1T ALL

New Ulm-Despondent after a
series of hard luck experiences,
James Stepanek, transient, for
merly a member of the camp on
the Cottonwood river in New
Um, attempted suicide near the
camp last week but survived the
experience with only minor in
jury.
Released from the county Jail in
November after a 30-day sentence
on drunkenness charge, Stepanek
went to Mason City, Iowa where
he received employment at his old
trade as a cooper. Laid off when
work became slack, he came back
to New Ulm where he ran into
more hardluck when his landlady
seized his belongings for alleged
non-payment of rent.
When the dispute was settled
with the aid of police, he went
back to the camp and asked to be
re-admitted. Officials told him
that it would be impossible with
out going through the regular
procedure for admission. Despon-
dent, he pulled small knife from
his pocket and attempted suicide.
He was taken to a physician
where the wound was found to be
only a minor one.
The next day he took the early
morning train for parts unknown.
