that police, responding to what they
took to be a riot call, arrived and de-
parted after pronouncing both women
innocent victims
Mrs. Young remained in the apart
ment overnight and when she left to
go downtown this morning the Zion
checks door was of the hinges and
wedged across the door opening.
The landlady returned at 10 am.
She told reporters in the lobby at
Harvard Hall:
II will not say at this time what
my plans are, but there will be de-
velopments later in the day"
Mrs. Young explained she did not
blame Mrs. zioncheck, but, on the
contrary, felt sorry" for her. She
said she was going to ask Mrs. Zion
check to leave and stay with friends
until her husbands return.
Door Is Replaced.
When Mrs. Young returned to the
apartment the door had been replaced
on its hinges and was locked from the
inside. She knocked and was admitted
by third woman who seemed to be a
friend of Mrs. zioncheck.
Mrs Young obtained a butcher knife
and a chair rung and tried to pry the
pins from the door hinges.
Don't you take that door down."
Mrs. Zioncheck cried. The two dis
puted for q moment and Mrs. Young
telephoned for the colored janitor to
aid her.
The attendant appeared and stood
for a moment at the door in conster-
nation, looking from one embattled
woman to the other. He then said
he didn't know what he should do
and departed. He did not return i'm
mediately.
Adopts New Tactics.
Meanwhile, Mrs. zioncheck had
carried the chair rung across the
apartment and deposited it out OF
Mrs. Young's reach. The landlady
then adopted other tactics.
She explained she wished to make
telephone call. The two women sat
on the same divan as Mrs. Young
rang her number. Mrs. Zioncheck
was half reclining and Mrs. Young
remarked In frigid tones:
do you mind, dear, If sit here?"
mo, not at ALL" Mrs. Zioncheck
sweetly replied.
After the telephone conversation
Mrs. Young apparently concluded to
sit it out" with Mrs. zioncheck, since
it seemed probable she could not re-
enter the apartment If she left. Mrs.
Zioncheck seemed equally determined
to stick it out. 81
Mrs. Young told a reporter she
hoped soon to "be in some quiet place
where won't hear any more OF those
foreign names!"
Meanwhile, the Associated Press re-
ported from Pittsburgh, Zioncheck
arrived unexpectedly early today to
meet Mayor McNair, and Immediately
began painting the city a lively red.
The Representative was driven to
Pittsburgh safely in his speedy roadster

Byrd Asks Expense Cut.
While the committee was laboring
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia
arose on the Senate floor to urge
that expenditures be cut and tax
action deferred until next year.
II have frequently expressed my
approval of additional revenue If we
continue our huge spending program "
he said. "Yet In the rush Of ad-
journment We should not adopt ILL
considered and half-baked legislation
which may do great harm to many.
II will vote for any reasonably
sound tax legislation, but suggest as
one solution a reduction in spending
equivalent to the new revenue an
ticipated, and then careful study
by a commission of our entire tax
structure so as to equitably impose
the new burdens and especially to
explore the field of tax-exempt Sc
curities as a source of new revenue. "
Byrd produced a letter from Daniel

to discover that the administration
