S0.-With a new venire Of tales

out Of the famous Shoemaker

Telephone that she will meet the
fate Of Mrs. Titterton.
The medical examiner fixed the
woman's death as occurring be-
tween II and 1880 a. m. The as
sault may have taken place soon
after IL, when Mrs. Titterton
spoke on the telephone with q
friend. At 1880 Wiley Straughn,
a tailor's messenger, rang the bell
on the :-irst floor of the apartment
building to deliver q dress. It Is
thought the ringing Of the bell at
this time might have frightened
the attacker, who fled in such
haste. that he left the door Of the
Titterton apartment ajar, as it
was found by two upholstery men
at AIS, who came to deliver a
divan and discovered the body.
Descriptions Differ
The description of the aSsailant
given by Miss Arbeiter does not
tally with another suspect sought
by police. He is said to be a
sandy-haired young man, who is
reported to have rung doorbells in
the fashionable neighborhood.
Helen Virginia Meyer, told the po-
lice she saw this man prowling
about Beekman Place just before
Mrs. Titterton was slain. This
man Is also reported to have rung

Hoyes' apartment. two floors be-
low the TittertonS'. He made two
visits and each time asked the
Countess for persons who did not

The slain woman's father,

her husband, Lewis H. Titterton,
radio company executive, made
final arrangements for the fu-
neral. Services will be held at

quested police to replace his

NRA REVIVAL
UNDER TAX:
PLAN SEEN
Report Says Congress
Could Impose Levy
on Employers
International News Service

A suggestion that the Federal
Government might revive the in
validated MIRA through the taxing
powers Of Congress-to impose ex-
cises on those employers who hire
child labor and pay low wages
was advanced today in an analysis
by the NRA-Commerce Depart
ment Bureau Of Business Re
search.
Many methods of bringing back
working, conditions to the stand
ards upheld by the old recovery
setup were mentioned in the vol
ume, but Victor E. Cappa thought
the best method was to control
the situation by the joint use Of
the taxing power Of Congress. He
said such taxes could be made to
be So excessive that 1t would make
it Improbable for employers to
continue to practice sweatshop
working conditions at low wages
and long hours.
War Powers Invalid
Utilization by Congress Of its
war powers and its right to regu-
late post office and poStroad activi-
ties as weapons to force minimum
wage, maximum hour and child
labor standards on employers
would be unconstitutional, the re-
port said.
Use Of the war power was ad-
vanced as a method when it was
thought that employment Of
minors at unduly long hours
might subsequently affect the ma
tons resources of ablebodied men
for military purposes. The report
expressed the opinion that the
war power of the Federal Govern
ment would not sustain legislation
regulating child labor or hours Of
labor in the various industries Of
the country.
Postal Pressure
A suggestion that Congress
might deny use Of the mails to
employers or industrial units that
fail to comply with Federal min
imum wage, maximum hour labor
provisions or fair practice stand
ards also was held invalid by the
court. The document added:
Congress may not indirectly
under che guise Of the postal
and pOstrOad power interfere
with constitutional guarantees
or the rights reserved to the
States by the Tenth Amend
ment. An exclusion from the
use Of the mails must rest upon
q regulation Of the mails, and
not upon . regulation Of the
user"

with dire predictions Of hardship
If it is enacted, was disclosed to-
day In briefs filed with the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Included also was a vigorous

"The Presidents suggestion

Senate Investigations
By James T. Williams, Jr.

Much has been heard Of Senate
investigations since Personal Gov.
ernment established itsc. in the
Federal city three years ago this
month. Much more W., be heard
on the same live subject before
it is passed upon presently by "the
great jury Of the people,"
It is their verdict that deter
mines Public Sentiment and Public
Sentiment is not yet dead in this
country however serious may be
the plight temporarily of Constitu-
tional government.
"There seem to be three types
of Senate Investigations" accord
ing to George Wharton Pepper,
eminent jurist and formerly a
United States Senator from the
State of Pennsylvania.
Several years ago Mr.. ,pper
was invited by the University Of
Virginia to deliver the lectures
for which annual provision is made
by the Foundation established in
memory of the late William H.
White, a distinguish l alumnus Of
that historic institution.
THREE TYPES
Addressing the faculty and
students of the University OF
Virginia of which Thomas Jeffer-
son, author of the Declaration OF
independence and the Statute of
Virginia for Religious Freedom,
was the Father, Senator Pepper
had this to say concerning Con-
gressional investigations in gen.
eral and Senate Investigations in
particular:
"Of one type IL . sincere
search after truth in q field
clearly within legislative juris-
dictiOn.
"Of another type is the in
quiry launched to inflict pO.
liticaI harm on person or
party.
"Of still a third type is the
investigation begun in good
faith but later prOstituted to
promote the ambitions Of an
unscrupulous chairman"
Since the year 1867, Congress
or one of its branches, as Charles
Warren points out in his book
on Congress, the Constitution
and the Supreme Court:
"Has violated the provisions
of the Bill of Rights at least
10 times and at least 10 times
has the Supreme Court saved
the individual against Congress
siOnal usurpatiOn Of power.
"FOr Congress has already
tried to authorize illegal searches
and seizure of private papers
and only been prevented by the
actiOn Of the Supreme Court in
1886. T.,
Congress has tried to au-
thOrize criminal prosecution OF
a man after compelling him to
