STAUNTON, Va, Jan. "a
Two men were injured fighting

The injured were Sergt. Robert

The bill I now return differs
from last years bill in only two
important respects: First, it elimi'
mates the issuance of unsecured
paper currency to make the pay
ments required and substitutes in

ever, may be converted into cash
for face value at any time; sec.
ond, it adds $263, 100000 to the
total payments by forgiving in

In all other respects, the cir
cumStanceS, arguments and facts
remain essentially the same as
those fully covered and explained
by me only eight months ago.
I respectfully refer the mem

COLD RELIEF
PROMISED
CAPITAL
Mercury Climbs to
IS After PIunging
to 7 at s A. M.
OFFICIAL TEMPERATURE

With definite relief in sight,
Washington was still in the grip
of the cold wave today as the
mercury sank to Z degrees above
zero and remained stationary
there for several hours.
This was 7 degrees higher than
yesterday when a low for the year
of exactly zero was recorded.
Temperatures will mount this
afternoon toward normal, the
Weather Bureau forecast, with
cloudy and warmer weather in
store for tomorrow.
Another death due to the storm
here was reported last night when
Alonzo Reed. colored, 63. died
from injuries he received when he
slipped on an ice coated sidewalk
at Sixth st. and Pennsylvania
Ave. N. w.
Many Fire alarms
After touching zero yesterday
morning, accompanied by a wind
which reached a 61-mile velocity at
times. the temperature mounted to
a high of only 16 degrees in mid.
afternoon, then started to sink
slowly.
Washington spent most of the
day yesterday in repairing damage
done by the storm, which blew in
scores of show windows and sent
trees and signs crashing down,
breaking power lines and throwing
sections Of the city int darkness.
AS the cold wave continued the
fire department vas kept on the
jump, with scores of alarms
turned in as overheated stoves
and chimneys caused m n o r
blaZes.
None Injured in Fires
Two two-alarm fires occurred
yesterday, but no one was injured
and firemen, handicapped by the
freezing temperatures managed to
keep the blazes from spreading.
Charles Jameson, 25, an EN-.
ploye of a fuel oil company, was
reported as recovering today in
Providence Hospital from burns
suffered yesterday when he start
ed a small fire to thaw a frozen
oil pipe. The oil caught fire,
showering him with the blazing
fuel. Harry K. Smith, in front Of
whose home the accident oc'
Cured, beat out the flames and
rushed the injured man to a
hospital.
Despite the zero weather, trains
and airplane transport lines were
reported as running on schedule
Motor buses were delayed be,
cause of ice and snow on high

SARRAUT LISTS
HIS CABINET
BY MICHAEL WILSON
international News Service

PARIS. Jan. 24.-Albert Sar-
raut, Radical Socialist leader, to-
day succeeded in forming a gov
ernment to replace the resigned
cabinet of Premier Pierre Laval.
Overriding party SQUAD b S
which had threatened to thwart
his efforts. Sarraut informed Pres
ident Albert Lebrun he had lined
up a cabinet as follows:
Premier and minister of the in
terror, Sarraut; justice, Yves Del
bos; war, Gen. Louis Felix Maurin;
foreign affairs. Pierre-Etienne

chant marine, M. de Chapdelaine;
labor, Louis Frossard; pensions,
Rene BeSSe, and minister of state,
Joseph Paul-Boncour.
It was noted Laval was not in
the new government.
It was possible, despite Sarraut'S
announcement of success, that
last-minute defections might force
abandonment of the attempt even
before the government goes be-
fore the Chamber of Deputies for
approval.
In the chamber corridors it was
reported several of the newly
named ministers were unwilling
to remain in the government and
that they would resign later.
The list included many of the
country's first men, including
Delbos, high in the radical Social
ist party; Gen. Maurin, member
of Frances supreme war council; /;
Flandin, former premier and for
mer finance minister; Chautemps,

President Roosevelt inferenttaIy
denied today that the Admins
tration has any intention Of re-
valuing silver at this time.
Reminded in his regular Friday
press conference that the stock
market has been squirting this
week in response to rumorS that
the Administration was going to
revalue silver, as it did gold, the
President said he knew nothing
of such rumors and added that
there are now no negotiations Of
any sort going on with respect to
currency sterilization.
AS for the market advance, Mr..
Roosevelt smilingly said he would
give his reportorial questioners "a
good tip-keep out of it," meaning

dollar soldiers bonus bill. Specu-
lators evidently Figured" that the
bonus might be paid by revaluing
the white metal and obtaining a
profit" as was done in the case
of gold,
When the gold revaluation was
made, the Treasury chalked up a
paper profit of about 5000 million
dollars.
Approximately 1000 millions OF
this profit ultimately was turned
into a stabilization fund with
which the Treasury attempts to
keep the dollar in a "fair" rela-
tionship to foreign currencies.
Due to the silver-buying policy
the Treasury has been following
for many months, the Government
now has immense silver stocks.
Silver prices Slumped recently
when the Treasury discontinued

had ~auffled sorrowfully through.
BY Tuesday, when the body will
be taken to Windsor for burial,
it is expected that one million
will view the catafalque.
Lines Over Mile Long
The turner's progressed
through the great hall through
out the morning and early after
noon at the rate Of 10000 an
hour. Outside there were two
lines, each more than a mile
long, martialled by hundreds Of
policemen.
Despite the comparatively swift
rate at which the lines moved,
It took each person more than
an hour to pass from the end
of one of the lines to the bier.
Approximately 10000 of the late
Kings subjects had thus paid
final respects by 2 p. m.
Late last night the long queue
began forming, and all today it
wound out st. Stephens entrance
to the House of Parliament and
beyond the shadow of massive
Victoria Tower.
Brave Cold Rain
At the head of the line was an
ex-soldier, now unemployed, and
next was a middle-aged woman
who said she had to be at work
at 8:3O-half an hour after the
doors opened.
Braving a cold rain in their
long vigil, the rest of the queue
was a mixture of all classes, many
of whom brought camp stools
rugs, vacuum flasks, and blankets
ali of which they had been in
structed to leave outside.
Most of the mourners observed
rules Of silence as they moved
11nhalting, past the bier lying in
the semidarkness, but there was
at least one distressing scene
scores of women broke down ano
wept loudly when an overwrought
elderly woman exclaimed, when
She reached the catafalque:
"Isn't it a shame!"
Meanwhile the London press
onened a campaign strongly con
demning the "impudent rapacity
of those attempting to turn the
nations grief to their own finan
cial advantage"
This was the reSul. of demands
already being made for as much
as $50 for a seat on the route
along which the funeral proceS
sion will move to Windsor.
