the size Of the appropriation bill will
make 1t easier for the Senate District
Committee to work out changes next
week in the revenue bill. in order to
avoid imposing more taxes than ap-
pear necessary.
With Senator Thomas of Oklahoma
and Representative Collins of Mis-
sissippi heading the two groups of
conferees, the deliberations appeared
to be progressing harmoniously today.
For the first time in recent years
there Is no controversy over the
amount Of the Federal payment-both
houses having voted to continue for
another year the $1,000, 900 lump sum
figure. In the past this question has
made conference agreements difdcult.
Riders Must Be Settled.
In addition to the various changes
in amounts Of money made by the
Senate, the conferees must settle the
fate Of . series of riders proposing
transfer OF certain municipal func-
tions from one department to another.
OF primary interest Is the Senate
amendment transferring public hos
pitals and medical charities from the
Board Of Public Welfare to the Health
Department. While voting for this
change, the Senate struck out other
transfers involving part of the play
ground system and the Business Ii
cense Bureau. The conferees will de-
eide this afternoon whether these re-
organization proposals are to be car
ried out.
Remaining to be settled this after
noon also is the question of whether
to build new Pennsylvania avenue
bridge southeast or repair the exist
ing structure.

CHICAGO, June 24.-Hopes Of
solving the mysterious slayinS Of
Audrey Vallette. blond party girl,
waned today after witnesses failed to
pick Mrs. Ruth Freed out of a police
show-up.
Mrs. Freed, wife of Eddie Freed,
manager of a notorious near North
Side honky-tonk, was paraded before
the bright lights at the detective bu-
reau with seven other women last
night. A few hours earlier she had
surrendered. after almost 4 years dis
appearance.
Four persons saw a woman dash
from a North Side hotel Immediately
after the hard-drinking habitue of the
night spots was slain, July 2. At the
show-up they said they were not sure
Mrs. Freed was the woman.
Assistant States Attorney Nal
Coughlan commented: That lust
about finishes any hope of a success
full prosecution" Mrs. Freed had
been listed as the only suspect.
The witnesses were employees of the
hotel where Miss Vallette was shot
to death. The search for Mrs. Freed
was started after police found Miss
Vallette's diary, 4 voluminous record
OF drinking bouts and affairs with
scores OF men. The diary contained
many references to An Eddie" whom
police said was Freed.
Detectives had expressed the belief
Jealousy over the party girls atten-
tions to Freed was the motive for her
staying. He had admitted being init
mate with Miss Vallette.
Police also had studied reports that
Miss Vallette might have been slain
for knowing too much about some
underworld incidents. and that promi-
nent men had been blackmailed after
visiting her.
Mrs. Freed declined to discuss the
case. She said her attorneys would
do her talking for her. The -ttorneys
pressed for her release today on a
writ Of habeas corpus.

"THE GREAT COMPROMISE"

In mid-July of 1887 = just $50
years ago this week-the Founders
who wrote our Federal Constitution
concurred in an action which histo-
riafis ever since have characterized
as 1.-The Great Compromise >"
There were. in fact. two impor-
tant compromises both of which
solved differences that had caused
disSenSion SO serious, as to threaten
disruption of the Convention meet
ing in Philadelphia's famous In
dependence Hall
The first compromise resulted in
formal adoption of a resolution
which recognized the claims of the
larger states for representation in
the National Legislature on the
basis of population, and, at the same
time; the demand of the smaller
states that all be equally represented.
Thus was established the form we
know -today-a lower house of Con-
gress based on proportional repre-
sentation, and an upper house. or
Senate; with the same number Of
members from each state.
The second compromise also dealt
with representation in the proposed
Congress from a different an
gle. It involved the question whether
Or not slaves should be counted in
determining population of the sepa-
rate States-and. therefore, in ap-
portioning representation in the first
branch Of the Legislature
On this question vigorous discus
sion had been aroused, which ended
in an agreement to count for pur-
poses Of representation all free whites
and three fifths of the slaves.
AS occurred SO frequently during
the Convention, the debates of this
significant week reflected again and
again the determination of many
delegates that in the new govern
ment the will and the welfare of
the people must predominant.
'"The majority of the people, wher-
ever found. ought in all questions
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-07-12

.
ed that "all men having power
ought to be distrusted to certain
degree"
Speaking on another occasion
against proposal that the Execu-
tive hold Office during good be-
havior," Mason pointed out that
this was "a softer name only for an
Executive for life"
"And the next" he added, would
be an easy step to hereditary mon
archy."
Swayed undoubtedly by this argu-
ment, tire Convention rejected the
good behavior" proposal and agreed
that the term of Office of the Chief
Executive should be limited. but that
he should be eligible for reelection.
During the week the delegates agreed
also on several other powers and
duties Of the Chief Executive. but
final action was postponed until later
sessions
next week: Judicial Power

| and lighted a cigar to fortify him
self against the ordeal.
Igor was almost speechless by
the time he was ushered into the
pretentious Offices. !
81 know, I know" he said in
deliberate monotone, drained Of all
expression. 'I've just found out
that you have been cheating me
out of my very life. I have talked
to Hartley. Now will talk to-
you. Pah!" And again he spat,
this time onto the cleaning desk
where Abe sat.
''None Of that, you hear" said
Abe nervously. Suddenly he real
lied that he had a mailman to
deal with, and he didn't want to
antagonize him unnecessarily. Bet
ter let him talk and rave until he
got through, then he'd go quietly
enough. But Abe had not reck-
oned on the vindictive little Igor,
who had been so maliciously tram
pied under his feet as Abe climbed
higher and higher.
81 spit where want to-" he said
almost ridiculously. "What I want
to know is why you try to fool Igor
about that Hartley work. For one
whole long month you've known I
wouldn't get that cOntract-but
you've forced me to cut prices so
that I could keep in good with
you. And for what? What good
can you ever do me, you double
crossing rat. What good have you
ever done for anybody except your
own fat self. F'athead, that's what
you are"
Igor stopped for breath, and Abe
looked around helplessly. He
never was one to court physical
danger and he wondered to what
lengths Igors madness would lead
him. Slyly he pressed the buzzer
on his desk, while he mumbled an
answer. ooh no, Igor. Not me.
You got me wrong. Why have
been trying to help you along.
That was only a little account we
awarded; there's q. bigger Hartley
one coming your way. You'd
rather"
Walt Hartley came in from his
adjoining Office to face the cover
| ing Abe.
Whats this, a game Of hide
and-seek?" he said .facetiously.
then followed Abe's terrified glance
to the, corner where the threaten
ing Igor stood. His accuser was,
a scant five feet four inches, but
his vibrant anger gave him i'm
pressive size. Even Walt felt un-
easy as he sensed the desperate
vengeance of this man.
eff you've gotten yourself into a
mess, you get out Of it," Walt dis,
claimed loudly. "You can't involve
me. I'm clear of it, clear"
''Why, you welcher. You put
the idea in my head, how we could
keep these fellows ON the string"
Too late Abe realized that he had
admitted his guilt in front of the
desperate little printer. Even as
he spoke, he saw the CLEAN of
triumph flash across that swarthy
face.
"You see. I knew it." Igor said
with deadly calm. Then suddenly
his voice raised to a shrek as he
Eproduced his revolver and waved
it menacingly. The cleaning bar
rel pointed alternately at Abe and
Walt while the little man enjoyed
his moment of triumph. well,
now" he shouted, Tets see what
you have to say to this!"
