WOMEN DEMAND
OVERTON HEARING
Baltimore Group Joins That

Support OF o militant group OF Bal.
timore women was thrown today to the
demands Of the Women's Committee
Of Louisiana that the Senate respect
its petition challenging the right Of
Senator Overton to his seat in Con-
gress.
Mrs. Howard Schwarz, representing
the Baltimore Committee Of ~. in
formed the Offices Of Senators Tydings
and Radcliffe Of Maryland that her
organization had adopted resolutions
demanding a fair hearing" for the
Louisiana women. Some Of the Balti-
more women received national atten-
tion-and jail sentences-when they
picketed the White House on behalf
Of women's suffrage during the Wilson
administration.

They have made the Louisiana con-

Letters have been addressed to Sen

Mrs. Hilda Phelps Hammond,
chairman Of the committee, addressed
the Baltimore group January 8 and
is in town today to press her de-
mands that the petition attacking
Overton's election be formally re-
ferred to the Senate Privileges and
Election Committee. She also seeks
q fair hearing" Of her charges that
the late Senator Huey p. Long. As
campaign manager for Overton, won
the election unfairly.
The petition was presented to Vice
President Garner last June, but has

to contain sworn charges, legally

- YOUTH PATRICIDE PRISONER.

ROCKY MOUNT, Va, January 16
R3.-Franklin County officers held a
20-year-old youth in Jail here today
as they probed the third patricide in
Southwest Virginia in recent months.
The prisoner is Russell Boyd, charged
with the murder of his father, Charles
Boyd, So.
The case had points of similarity
to those involving Edith Maxwell of
Wise and Haugeman Falin of Wildcat
Valley. As in the Maxwell and Faln
cases preliminary questioning of the
prisoner drew the assertion that the
father was drunk and that the killing
was in Self-defense.
Sheriff Harry B. Lee arrested young
BOYD at his home near Ferrum yester-
day, after the father had died in
Roanoke hospital from bullet wound.
Boyd told the sheriff, the officer said,
that he shot his father after the latter
had thrown an iron bar and an ak at
him. The fight started, it is said, when
the youth attempted to chide his
father for beating administered to
1da,aa sister, and Mrs. Boyd.

After Chairman Nye had accused
President Wilson and Secretary OF
State Lansing Of classifying" when
they told Senate Committee In 1919
they had no knowledge prior to the
Paris conference Of secret territorial
agreements among the allies, the COM
mittee recalled Morgan and his asso-
ciates and questioned them about their
wartime banking operations.
Senator Clark accused the Morgan
arm of trying to bring pressure on the
administration to reverse q ruling OF
the Federal Reserve Board in 1915
warning American investors against
foreign loans. The ruling caused
Morgan & Co. to withdraw an issue
of French and British treasury bills
in this country.
To support his contention, Clark
read from q cablegram Morgan sent
his London office, deprecating the
Federal Reserve Board action and
suggesting that the British govern
ment curtail purchases Of war sup
plies in America.
Move Held Threat.
Clark insisted this move was de-
signed as a threat to America that
If she didn't provide the money to
European governments, they would
halt their buying Of American goods.
Both Morgan and Lamont denied
they intended to suggest that threat
be made to American trade. explaining
it was only natural for the Morgan
firm, as purchasing agent for Great
Britain and France, to recommend q
curtailment of purchases coincident
with reduction in the money supply.
Clark charged that the Wilson ad-
ministration actually countenanced
the Morgan operations abroad, real
izing American trade was benefting.
Because of these financial and COM
mercial "entanglements," he held,
America could not keep out Of the war.

King Offers Substitute.
Senator King, Democrat, Of Utah
introduced a substitute bill providing
for payment now of only the cash
surrender or present value Of the
20-year adjusted service (bonus) GER
tificates, which he estimated would
save 81 ,000, 100000.
Enactment of the baby bond bill
was conceded by prominent op-
ponent Of the measure despite Secre-
tary Morgenthau's testimony about
the financial task the Treasury faces.
A Southern Senator, not wishing to
be quoted by name, said he himself
would vote against the measure un-
less it provided for payment out Of
existing appropriations.
But he said the Morgenthau testi-
mony before the Senate Finance Com
mittee would have little or no effect
on final passage, even over q veto.
Morgenthau said, in effect, enactment
Of the bill now would increase to sll,-
800 ,000, 900 the new Treasury financ-
ing necessary for the next l7h

director Of the National Economy
League, urged them to vote against
what he called this dangerous and

fore Reform Federation.

America must abandon every hope
Of profit in a war between other
nations before it can have real neu-
trality. Senator Nye Of North Da-
kota told members Of the Interna-
tional Reform Federation at Its forty
first annual memorial breakfast this
morning.
Senator Nye pointed out that 20
years ago there was as much senti-
ment against war as there Is today
and that the election Of 1916 was
fought out on the issue Of neutrality,
but that less than year after the
election the Nation was entering q
war which was none Of our busi-
ness"
"Appetite" for Profits.
"We had developed a taste for the
profits to be made from war and
when our appetite was denied our
resolve to remain out Of the war
suffered. Whenever our commercial
interests ran counter to our neutrality
policy, 1t was our neutrality, not our
commercial interests, which suffered. :"
the Senator declared.
I'VE made q great point Of being
against secret treaties. but when we
entered the World War we knew Of
those treaties, and in fact, during the
three years prior to our entrance into
the conflict, did a little secret nego-
tiating ourselves"
Nye. who is chairman Of the
Senate Munitions Committee, asserted
that much Of the history of America S
entry and participation in the World
War would have to be written in view
Of facts unearthed during the present
investigation being conducted by his
committee.
II do not believe that the bankers
and munitions makers got together
and conspired to bring this country
into the European war, but their
growing interests in the profits re-
sulting from trade with the belliger-
ents were inevitably drifting US In
that direction"
Government Operation Urged.
Nye declared 1t would be impossible
to regulate the munitions business, and
that the only logical course is for the
Government to 60 into the munitions
and war materials business.
