A ban on games of chance at fra

the past have yielded many thousands
of dollars annually, was announced
today by the office of the United States
attorney.
In future the anti-gambling laws,
which never have been applied strict

regardless of the purpose for which
funds to be raised are intended. Al
though of the opinion that many con-

constituted technical violations OF the

FRAz|ERLEMKE
BILL MEETSDELAy
Byrns Rules 218 Names Are
Needed to Force Vote
in House.
BY the Associated Press.

The drive to force House vote on
the FraZier-Lem farm debt ref
nancing bill received a setback today
when Speaker Byrns, in a lengthy
written decision, ruled that 2l8 names
are required on a petition to force a
House vote.
Backers of the measure to reflnsnce
farm indebtedness by issuing $3,000,-
100000 in new currency contended
only 2l5 signatures were needed to
take the legislation from the Rules
Committee and bring it before the
House.
The Frazier-Lemke petition was de-
scribed by members as carrying 214
signatures as the session started today,
with Representative Lemke, Republic
can Of North Dakota, co-author Of the
measure, holding three additional
names in reserve.
The Speakers ruling was requested
by Representative Boileau, Progressive,
of Wisconsin. He argued that while
218 was majority of full House
membership of 435, vacancies should
be taken into account in determining
how many names should go on a dis
charge petition.
In both House and Senate, Boileau
said. quorum always has been ma
jority of the elected sworn, living
members who have not resigned"
Asserting at the outset that he real
lied the importance of his decision,
Speaker Byrns said: I'm the interest
of proper and orderly parliamentary
procedure, it should be definitely
known and stated in advance how
many signatures are required"
He added that otherwise the total
might be changed without the House
knowing it because of deaths or resig-
nations not reported promptly.

NEW YORK, April 15.-Despite con-
tinued efforts of detectives to trace a
meager collection of clues to the slayer
Of Mrs. Nancy Evans Titterton. officials
said today progress in solving the
battling mystery was at virtual i'm
paSse.
I'VE are no further in this case than
we were Friday night" said Assistant
District Attorney William F. O'Rourke
I'VE have no suspect and have no good
leads"
The detectives, however, still are
hopeful Of finding the man who as
saulted the attractive 34-year-old
woman and checked her to death at
her Beekman Place apartment last
Friday.
Definitely classifying him as a per-
son with a diseased mind, they sought
possible clues to his identity today in
q thorough examination the numerous
crank" letters received since the
crime.
Acting Lieut.. Martin S. Owens said
the number of such communications
had mounted daily, and that each was
being carefully checked.
Efforts to trace the ownership Of a
short piece of cord which the officers
said was used to bind Mrs Titterton's
wrists, turned to Philadelphia. Police
there said they had been requested to
make a check at the Schlicter Jute
Cordage Co.
The cord was found beside the nearly
nude body of Mrs. Titterton in the
bathtub of the apartment.
The victim, a short story writer and
wife of a National Broadcasting Co.
executive, was alive when her aSsailant
placed her in the tub, DR.. Alexander

GENEVA, April Is Cp.-An Italian
spokesman said today the Fascist dele

The spokesman said the delegation

The Fascist conferees, headed by

p,n. to enter the discussions after Pre-
mier MussolinRs stand as liberator of
Ethiopian slaves had injected fresh
uncertainties into the League negotia-

Some League sources expressed fear
that Mussolini would seek to press
the advantage of his double role as
liberator and invader, to refuse to
yield any of the territory his troops
have conquered.

SENATE DEBATES
RITTER IN SECRET
Public Excluded in Final
Stages of Impeachment
Hearing on Judge.
By the Associated Press.

oS t1lC ASSOCldleQ HIeSS-
After hearing eight days of testi-
mony and counsel arguments, the
Senate locked its doors today at IL :O8
pm. and began deliberations on seven
House Impeachment charges against
Fderal Judge HalSted L. Ritter of the
southern district of Florida.
No one could say how long the secret
session would last. Debate in the last
Impeachment trial in 1888 required
more than two hours.
The doors were to be opened on
conclusion of the deliberations and
seven separate ballots taken in open
session. A two-thirds ma jority on any
article would be necessary to con-
vict. A guilty verdict on any count
means automatic removal from Office.
Ritter, 65-year-old native of In
diana, who practiced law for 80 years
in Denver before going to Florida in
1925, where he received his appoint
n1ent to the bench four years later
from President Coolidge, was charged
with:
Granting excessive receivership fees
to A. L. Rankin, a former law partner,
in the Whitehall Hotel case; conniving
with Rankin and others to bring the
suit, unlawfully accepting $4,000 of the
fees from Rankin, practicing law on
two occasions after going on the
bench, two violations Of the income
tax laws and bringing his court into
scandal and disrepute"
Bare Quorum Present.
A bare quorum answered the roll call
before deliberations began.
Ritter and his two attorneys, Frank
P. Walsh of New York and Washing
ton and Carl T. Hoffman of Miami,
were present during the quorum call,
but were excluded with the press and
spectators on motion of Chairman
Ashurst of the Judiciary Committee.
Judge Ritter's trial by the House
before the Senate as jury was COM
pleted yesterday and the case given to
the Senate, but the latter body was
holding only 2-hour session and de-
ferred its verdict.
Urging an almost unanimous" de-
c1S1on upholdtng the House lndlct-
ments as a warning to the judiciary
that its integrity must not be ques-
toned, Representative Summers of
Texas closed for the prosecution with
a statement that he had mo doubt"
the Senate would find Ritter guilty.
Integrity of Senate"
"If I doubted that, I would doubt
the integrity of the Senate, if may
say that in all candor," the Texan de-
clared.
Walsh, chief defense attorney, spoke
before the Texan. In tones just as
vociferous. he expressed confidence in
the integrity and honesty of his client.
you can send this man forth to
suffer worse than any description of
damnation ever published" he as
serted. But if you do that, after
careful consideration of the evidence,
you will be sending out of this court
room the most greatly wronged and
completely innocent man who ever had
to face high court"

II am for Roosevelt because he
Is not extravagant.
Extravaganza is spending mon
ey without getting anything
worthwhile for it. Hoover's farm
board was gross extravaganza, be-
cause it spent money On hopeless
project. The RFC was extravag-
ant, because it spent money attack
ing the depression without making
a dent in it.
During the war the country
spent $4,000, OO0,O 900 in a year
and a half, and all it got in return
was 100000 corpses and a lot of
bad notes. Since 1933-that is to
say in twice the time-the New
Deal has spent a third as much and
for it we have thousands of miles
of roads and streets, countless
school houses, bridges, dams, canals,
power plants, forests, sewerf and
water mains, transmission lines and
other things. But above all, we have
avoided getting a lot of corpses.
Troops are lot fighting milk
farmers in the Middle West as they
were just before Hoover went out.
That fire, instead of spreading, has
been quenched, and quenching it
was worth the money if we had
received none of the public works
that have been built.
"The mans administration has

the elimination of all suggestion of
