BANKHEAD IS
 NAMED SPEAKER
tContinued from Page 1.)

| gC0ntinued from PaRe IJ Consideration of the tax bill was put of, probably until Saturday.
 House leaders agreed to have the body meet briefly today and go through the formality of electine Bankhead. Minority Leader Der. trand Shell said the choice was en. tirely acceptable to him.
 The house democratic leaders stunned by loss of ByrrS, deter. mined not to attempt to pick ma. jority leader to fill Bankhead's post at this session.
 A series of three-day recesseS will be taken during the period of the republican national convention. Congress will go to work again in the week intervening between the republican and democratic gathers ingg in an effort to clear away itg unfinished business.
 The senate met at 10 a. m. and an immediate recess was ordered itl respect to the late speaker, who died early today. Consideration Of the administration tax bill was put of until Saturday at the earliest.
 The senate tomorrow will attend memorial services for Byrns in the house, thus postponing final vote on the administration tax bill uti- til Saturday at the earliest.
 Leaders admitted this blasted the last hope that congress might ad- journ before the republican national convention at Cleveland next week.
 The Senate paid its respect by re- cessing and delaying tax bill action indefinitely.
 Soon the house met in sad solem- nity.
 Clerk South Trimblc called the house into session. Most of the members were already on the floor, conversing quietly in hushed toneS'
 Galleries were crowded. It was the first time in history that the house had been faced with the duty of electing a successor to Q speak CT who had died while Congress was in session.
 House Must Go On
 Trimble announced that it is my painful duty to inform the House of the death of the speaker" Rules committee Chairman John J. OConnor then offered a resolution for the election of Brankhead.
 Tt is necessary" he told nnen1- bers. flor the machinery of gov- ernment to go on."
 Trimble quickly put the question.
 A chorus of ayes swelled forth.
 Are there any nays?" asked Trimble.
 The House was silent.
 O'Connor and a group of leaders left the chamber to escort Bank head to the dais, where yesterday Byrns had laughed and lowed with members and performed his last of- ficial act--recess of the House in respect to Rep. A. Piatt Andrew, R., Mass, who died Tuesday. Bankhead Takes Seat
 The group escorted Bankhead through the great door at the rear of the chamber. O'Connor walked beside Bankhead. The new speaker was clad in a white linen suit. Heads of the leaders were bowed. They walked slowly to the well of the House.
 At the vacant speakers chair, O'Connor turned to the House:
 Ladies and gentlemen of the | House." he said, r present to you wour new speaker. Hon. William B. Bankhead. He will now be sworn.
 After ceremonies inducting Bank head into office the House ad- journed subject to the call of the chair tomorrow.

WATSON GETS IDELIv FRY OF
 CAR, WRONG ONE
Sam my Nelson Machine Catapults Into Officials
 Front Yard at 2 A. M.

Harry G. Walov-l took sudden delivery of a maroon n-colored auto mobile at his home at 3 o'clock this morning, but it wasn't the maroon colored Dodge sedan the Cover nor's Secretary has been expecting from the south.
 Rather, it was the property of Sammy Nelson, J u n u miner, which went catapulting into the Watson front yard in the early morning hour Just who was driv- ing it remains a mystery. Nelson told authorities he was home in bed at that hour and declared the ma- chine was stolen from ConnorS Mot DTS where he says he left it at 11:30 last night with a note to have the rear axle looked over.
 Recipient Watson chased the driver down the road a ways but was unable to overtake him as the fleet-footed driver took to the woods MT. Watson reported he was arous- ed from his slumbers about a. m by resounding thump in his front yard. Fastening out, he saw man walking rapidly from the yard down the road. Piled up against the cor ner of his house was a maroon colored automobile. It had lett the road, apparently travelling at ter rife pace, when attempting to make the turn at the Watson corner on the Glacier Highway; had cata- quilted about 25 feet against the small rock wall alongside his drive way; had taken to the air again under it's terrific impetus for an- other 30 feet or so and come up abruptly against his new gravel walk, overturned and spun on over to come to rest neatly against the glass enclosure at the corner of his house, only about foot of the car leaning against the house. The machine travelled a good 100 feet, he reported. from where it left the road.
 Finding no one in the wreckage, Watson began search around. Directly a machine with a man and woman as passengers came

MONEY PACT

BERLIN, Oct. 1 G.N.S)
Germany sharply criticized the
three power currency Stabilization
accord as an immoral action"
last night and vowed that she
alone among the world powers
would not devaluate her currency.
DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, virtual
financial czar of Germany, in a
Reichsbank statement struck at
money policies of the British,
American and French democra-
cieS, making sarcastic references
to the stability of the dollar in
particular.
The German government, he
said, contends that the tri-partite
agreement has not brought Stabil-
ity to the world money markets.
The statement threatened that if
the general devaluation move dam
ages German exports the Reich
will pay even less on it's CONNER
cial debts than at present.
Germany'S resentment toward
the United States financial policy
flared openly. The statement
said:
when we have q business
deal with Americans we always
have to count on a sudden
devaluatiOn by at least another
10 per cent. The Roosevelt cleo
ton purposes and other reasons
can drive the dollar down. How
can you do business on such q
baSiS?"
The statement issued through
DR.. Schacht also scorned American
objections to Germany's export
subsidy and threatened to increase
the use of the subsidy If necessary.
The minister of economics made
it clear that Germany would join
the rest of the world in a currency
agreement only after a binding
agreement by the other big powers
to reduce Germany's debt and the
interest rate and to restore her
colonies.
