anyone else.
From last January to this month
there have been 1,49l people enter
tanned at luncheonS or dinners.
During that same period 1882
were guests at tea time and 242
visited at the Executive Mansion
for overnight or longer. ThlS
spring 84,591 Capital visitors, who
had cards from their Senators or
Representatives, were taken on a
tour of inspection of the private
parlors, while 422,955 others
crossed the threshold on the usual
tours.
OverhauIing Planned
But the days of sightseeing at
1900 Sixteenth St. are numbered,
for the present, at least, because
within a short time, just as soon
as the President and Mrs. Roose-
velt are away, all the furnishings
will be taken out. The fire depart
ment apparently stops at nothing.
not even at declaring the residence
of the country's President unsafe
and a serious fire hazard.
Some of the electrical wiring put
in IS years ago remains and de-
mands q change; hence the NOV
ing of the furniture prior to tear
ing up" the place.
Today Mrs. Roosevelt Will &C.
company the President to Big
Meadows, Va, for the dedication
of the Shenandoah National Park,
and with him will board the S. s.
Potomac at Richmond to return
to Washington. They will be back
here early Monday morning, ana
that evening the First Lady Will
be off again, this time Tor new
York. On Wednesday she will go
to Bear Mountain, on the Hud'
son. to visit the Youth AdminiStra-
tion Camp there. The following
day there will be a hurried trip
back to New York, where MRS
Roosevelt will deliver an address
at the opening of the Teachers
Summer Session at Columbia uni
versity.
Base at Hyde Park
All this time Mrs. Roosevelt Will
make her headquarters" at Hyde
Park, going from there on her
various visits hither and yon.
There will be many of these as
she plans to do and see just as
much as she possibly can, and to
try to visit the projects and State
and Fedora! institutions here and
elsewhere in which she has always
taken an interest.
Towards the end of this month
Mrs. Roosevelt will go North to
Campobello to meet the President
and their sons, who will be cruiS-
ing off the New England Coast.
Although the First Lady has
quite definitely stated that she
will not make any campaign
speeches, she will accompany her
husband on at least one of his
trips-the longest one, and per
haps others. That is, of course,
not settled as yet.

Dolly Cameron Says:
LAST CONFERENCE OF THE SEASON
Mrs. Roosevelt Will Accompany
President to Dedication of
Shenandoah National Park

These Summer days when nearly everyone
else is lazily sitting and slipping in the shade
of veranda the sands, the First Lady is still as
active and enjoying her "dongs" as much as ever.
Yesterday Mrs. Roosevelt held her last Press Conference
the last this season-and will not them until
after Election Day Looking ahead several months until that
time one help but wonder what the atmosphere at
the next meeting will be.

Verdicts on Same Day Result in
Five-Year Sentence.
FAYETTEVILLE, N. c. R.-Wal-
ter McLaurin has the unusual, II
doubtful, distinction Of being con-
victed by two juries on the same day.
The 50-year-old colored man was
tried on two charges Of breaking and
entering, with the FIRST also carrying
an allegation Of assault.
The jury in the first case debated
whether to convict him on both counts
and remained out until the second
trial was ended.
The second Jury deliberated briefly
and its verdict Of guilty almost
echoed the other. McLaurin drew
five years on the first and suspended

SAYS GOVERNMENT
H|NDER|NG COTTON
Clayton Tells Committee
Market Will Be Unheal-
thy Under Tampering

Washington, Feb. 20 (AP)-The Sen
ate Agriculture Committee today
heard one of the worlds largest cot
ton merchants say the nation will
never have q healthy cotton market
until the government gets out"
w. l.. Clayton, head of Anderson
Clayton & Company, of Houston,
Texas, made the assertion when ques-
toned by Alfred S. Wyllie, committee
attorney, as to what could be done
to prevent sudden market breaks.
The committee is investigating the
two cents pound price break March
II, 1885.
GAS long as there is cotton mar
ket there will be fluctuations" Clay
ton said, land of course, breaks.
"a two cents pound break, while
severe and regrettable, is likely to oc-
cur in the future no matter what you
may do. And, Of course there will be
price advances.
"But we will never have a healthy
market until the government goes
out"
Clayton said the government was
the "only obstruction" to market re-
covery.
"The government has no definite
policies" he declared. at is liable to
have one thing this week and another
next week"
He added the governments cotton
policy had been failure"

REYNOLDS ALIEN
BILL OBJECTED TO
VIII o lesale Deportations
Would Have Undesirable
Repercussions
BY CHARLES r. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Feb. 20.-Senator Rob
ert r. Reynolds of North Carolina Is
sponsor Of the latest bill further re-
stricting immigration into the United
States, to deport thousands of aliens
already in the country and requiring
registration of all the rest.
The senator proposes to cut present
quotas by 80 per cent, almost closing
the American door against more new
corners.
He demands the expulsion of habi-
tual criminals, Of all aliens who are
on relief and Of all who occupy posi-
tions which should be filled by Amer
leans" And, to weed these classes out
he insists that compulsory registra-
ton is essential.
AN ENTERING WEDGE
Nobody Is likely to argue that habi-
tual criminals or public charges
shouldn't be deported.
There is some question, however,

Peep-Hole Swung Open for
Convicted Lindbergh
Kidnap-Slayer To
Look at Death
LIKE Gagged ANIMAL
DURING INTERVIEW
Stares at Grim, Gloomy In
strument, Blanches, Shiv-
ers, Loses Voice but Yields
No Tears; Leibowitz Quits
Case Virtually Convinced
Of Guilt

Trenton, N. j., Feb 20 (AP)-The
electric chair in which Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann has been doomed to
die the week of March 80 was shown
to him In dramatic episode in the
death house yesterday, it was learn
ed today.
Hauptmann peered into the death
chamber during the interview with
Samuel LeibowitZ, New York attorney
and c. Lloyd Fisher, chief counsel.
"Hauptmann was like a Gagged ami
NAL" said a person who was present
at the interview.
HE continually grasped the bars
of his cell with white clenched fists
and thrust his face between the
bars"
During the interview, Leibowtiz in
sisted that wire screen be removed
from behind Hauptmann's cell. When
this was done, Hauptmann could
reach through the bars and touch the
green door leading to the execution
chamber, and by extending his hand
could touch the little peep-hole in the
door
Leibowitz opened the peep-hole and
Hauptmann looked through. He star
ed at the electric chair for a minute
and blanched. He shivered and sigh
ed and lost his voice momentarily,
but no tears came to his eyes"
A dramatic announcement by At
torney Samuel S. Leibowtiz, strongly
indicating he believes Bruno Richard
Hauptmann is guilty Of the Lindbergh
baby kidnap-slaying, appeared today
to have virtually blasted the convict
ed mans hope Of escaping death In
the electric chair.
"Haupmann," Leibowitz said, 'un-
card has been played and he has lost"
The New York attorney, who had
consented to aid Hauptmann, If he
would tell the whole TRUTH" with
drek from the case last night.
In the eight days that Leibowitz
had investigated the case, he had sub
jected Hauptmann to several periods
Of questioning SO intensive that at
least once the convicted man broke
into tears. But, although Haupmann
steadfastly refused to confess any
part in the crime Leibowitz, in sew
ering his connection with the case, as
serted:
His only salvation, as matters
stand now, lies in his making clean
breast of whatever guilty part he may
have had in the crime.
HE understands that at the pre-
sent moment there is not available the
newly discovered evidence which the
law demands before any court of this
State will grant him new trial"

Hitler Asks
An Alliance
With Italy
He and Not Musso-
lini Initiating Nego-

Between the Two

Home Feb. 20 (AP)--Reichfuehre
Hitler, rather than Premier Musso-
Iini, is taking the initiative in intense
Italo-German diplomatic exchanges,
authoritative German circles said to-
day, in an effort to bring about com
pletc eapproachment.
Ulrich Won Hassell, German ambas-
sador TO Italy, went to Munich last
week, had a long conversation with
Hitler and then returned to Rome
and requested an audience with Full
vic Suvich, italian under secretary for
foreign affairs, these sources disclos-
ed.
Suvich returned to Rome today to
report to Premier Mussolini person
ally on the progress of the negotla-
tons.
A spokesman for the German quart
ers said Hitler had realized the third
reich was isolated in Europe by the
