Hazen Pessimistic
On Numbers Cure.
Points to Capitol

Commissioner Hazen thinks the

oe suppressed, but he said rather
wisefully yesterday that he didn't
know how it was going to be done.
"You know the reason vhy" he
added. pointing Z finger In the
direction Of Capitol Hin,
Chairman Palmisano of the
HoE1e District Committee ad-
mitted the other day he was re-
sponsible for throttling In com.
mittee the bill Strengthening the
Districts gambling law. Twice
the bill has passed the Senate.
II don't believe it is possible
for the police to convict on the
possession Of numbers slips now"
Mr.. HaSen said. Under the pro-
posed BILL possession Of slips
would be prima facie evidence Of
violation Of the gambling laws.

BEvY OF TUGS REFLOATS
LINER GROUNDED IN MUD
~ the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 15.-The 800
foot Clyde-Mallory liner Iroquois, in
bound from New York with 800 pas
sengers aboard, rammed her nose into
mudflats and swung broadside across
the channel leading from the harbor
to the sea here today.
Port officials, fearing the grounding
Of the vessel would bottle up the har-
Dor. ordered every available tug to
assist in floating her. Three hours Of
pushing and hauling swung the ship
into deep water again and she pro-
oedeed to her pier, undamaged.
Steamship company officials said
. heavy gust Of wind caused the YES
sci to veer into the mudbank. The
arrival and departure Of nine other
ships was unhindered after the Iro-
quois was redoAted.

Although Senate confirmation OF
the nomination Of Solicitor General
Stanley Reed to the Supreme Court
appeared foregone conclusion, Chair
man Ashurst Of the Senate judiciary
Committee announced last night that
hearings will be held before the selec-
ton is submitted to the Senate for
approval.
Senator Ashurst said the hearings
probably will be held this week.
President Roosevelt sent Mr. Reed s
name to the Senate yesterday Is sue
cessor to Associate Justice George
Sutherland, whose retirement becomes
effective Tuesday.
Prompt Senate action will be neces-
sary If Mr.. Reed is to take his seat
on the bench when the justices return
from their regular two-week recess,
which begins after delivery of opin-
ions tomorrow. One of the most i'm
portant cases awaiting consideration
after the recess is the Electric Bond
& Share Co. suit attacking constitu-
tonality of the 1885 act regulating
public utility holding companies.
Reed May Not Participate.
Although the decision in that case
will be Of great importance to the
New Deal there was doubt whether
Mr.. Reed win participate in its con-
Alteration, since he has taken part
III preparation Of the case for argu-
ment, q circumstance that would
justify him in disqualifying himself
as Z member of the court that must
finally decide the issue. Should Mr..
Reed decide to disqualify himself, that
fact, coupled with the illness of JUS
tice Cardozo, might result in . rul-
ing by 4 closely divided court.
Most observers believe Justices
Brandeis, Stone and Black will vote
for the Government and that Justices
McReynolds and Butler will take the
opposite view. Such q division would
leave the balance of power with Chief
Justice Hughes and Justice Roberts,
but the trend Of their recent decisions
has led to the expectation that at least
one Of them will cast the vote neces-
sary to uphold the legislation.
Shortly after Mr.. Reeds name was
sent to the Senate, Chairman Ashurst
appointed the following subcommittee
to consider the nomination:
Senator Logan, Democrat, Of Ken
lucky, chairman: Senators King,
Utah; Dieterich, Illinois; McGnl, Kan
sas. and Van Nuys. Indiana, all Demo-
Gratis, and Borah, Republican, Of Idaho,
and Norris, independent, of Nebraska.
Hearings Open to Public.
Declaring hearings would be held,
Chairman Ashurst said: The hear
ings will BE fully open to the public
and the subcommittee members will
ask any questions they wish. We have
plenty Of time. There will be no haste,
no hurry, NO worry"
Subcommittee Chairman Logan said
he did not know whether hearings
would be necessary, but that his group
was willing to hear ANY responsible
person.
The disclosure after the conflrma-
ton OF Justice Black that he had been
member Of the Ku Klux Klan led to
introduction Of a resolution by Sena-
tor Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire calling for hearings on all Su-
preme Court nominations. Chairman

BACKGROUND
President Roosepelt's imitation to
business leaders to cooperate tDith
him in efforts to end the business

Wendell L. Willkie, head of the
Commonwealth & Southern Corp,
a proposal that the death SEN

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Wendell L.

major portion Of the American peo-

utilities will be destroyed.
In view Of the serioumess of thts
situation, those who are charged with
responsibility to the people who
have invested money In their business
must now consider what proposal can

OF that investment as possible"

over the fruit boiling hot. Re
peat each day until the fruit is
the same color to the center,
and the syrup is ike thin mo-
lasses. A few days before they
are finished, place the fruit,
after draining, in the jar to the
depth of three or four inches,
then sprinkle over hits of CHINA
mon bark and a few cloves;
add another layer of fruit, then
spice and So on until the jar
is full. Scald the syrup each
morning for the three or four
days after putting in the spice
and pour the syrup boiling hot
over fruit, and If it is not suffi-
GENTLY cooked, scald fruit with
the syrup for last time. The
proportion of spices to a gallon
of fruit is two teaspoons whole
cloves, four tablespoons CHINA
mon.
C[ingstone
Peach Pickles
To pickle c1ingstones prepare
the syrup as for freestones.
Pare the fruit, put in the syrup,
boil until they can be pierced
through with a silver fork;
skim out, place in jar, pour the
boiling syrup over them and pro
ceed and finish as above. AS the
clingstoneS are apt to become
hard, when stewed in sweet
syrup, it may often be necessary
to add pint of water the first
time they are cooked, watching
carefully until they are tender.
Or use only part of the sugar
at the first time, adding the rest
in day or Two. Use the large
white Heath clingStones if they
are to be had. All that is neceS-
sary to keep sweet pickles is to
have syrup enough to cover and
keep the fruit we'll under it.
Scald with boiling syrup until
fruit is same color throughout,
and syrup is like thin molaSses.
Watch every week, particularly
if the weather is warm. If scum
rises and syrup assumes whitish
appearance, bail, skim, and
cover fruit again. If at any
time syrup is lacking, prepare
more as at first.
