BY HIS LAWYER

Providence, r. l., Oct. 25-(UP)-
A $4,000 suit against Walter E.
O'Hara, former racing car at the
Narragansett horse track, Pawtuck-
ct, was on file in superior court to-
day as an aftermath of O'Hara's
two-year attempt to regain control
of the lucrative plant.
The suit was filed yesterday by
Attorney Thomas ]. McGauley who
said O'Hara owed him the money
for legal and political services for
a period of 10 months from March

O'Hara's counsel during that time
in the race track contest and also
in his campaign for governor.

Furthermore. in favoring the $725,-
100000 figure in the House bill, he
pointed out that the President had
reported that business conditions
were improving and that should
result in giving more employment,
particularly when the spring and its
seasonal activities arrive.
Senator Adams is not in sympathy
with the proposal to fix a formula
for allocating w. P. A. funds to the
States, because, he said, the amount
of relief needed depended on the
requirements of the individuals In
want-and not on the size of the
population in State. Also the cost
of living in the various sections
should be taken into consideration
The Colorado Senator said he re-
gretted that chance in the morale
of the country, relating to relief
had taken place. Too many people
no longer exhaust all other resources
before seeking to go on relief, he
said.
Senator Mead, Democrat, of New
York last night expressed hope that
the Senate would restore the w

size.

Two Atlanta COLLEGES
Receive 81, 100000

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Jan. 14.-Grants total
ing s2,500,000 to Emory University
and Agnes Scott College were an
nounced here today in behalf of the
General Education Board of New
York, a Rockefeller endowed foun-
dation
The funds, of which 81 600 900 goes
to Emory and s500,O00 to Agnes
Scott, are to be used toward "devel-
opment of university center in
Atlanta"
Thomas K. Glenn, chairman OF
the Emory University Finance Com
mittee, said the grants by the Gen
eral Education Board were a step in
substantial progress" toward OBJ
tanning total of 100000 for
Emory and $l,500,O00 for Agnes
Scott. A condition imposed by the
board is that the two schools to-
gether complete the total $7,500, 900

By the Associated Press.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 14.-Hun-
dreds of State employees will find
themselves working next week either
for new bosses or for old ones who
were their superiors before former
Gov. Philip La Toilette and an in
terim committee of the last Legis-
lature started reorganizing the gov
ernment
The Republican-Democratic ma
Jority in the new State Senate
brought down the AK today on 26
executive orders under which Gov.
La Toilette reshuff1ed the duties
and functions of numerous depart
mentS.
Accomplished within three days
after the new Legislature convened,
the Senate reorganization repeater
signalized the beginning of efforts
by coalition leaders to undo much
legislation enacted by Progressives
In the "hurry-up' special session
of 1887
Republican administration floor
leaders have solidly behind them
the Democratic bloc in each House,
with votes to spare. They charged
the La Toilette administration put
through its program by strong
arm and "gag-rule' methods and
that the mandate from the voters
was to wipe it out.
The reorganization bill, which
gave either House of the new Legis-
lature 10 days to disapprove of the
executive acts, was the first order of
business. Hoping to save at least
part of the reorganization plan, vhe
Progressive minority made an un-
successful attempt to extend the
time.
1t is possible that much of the
shifting of departmental work and
functions made necessary by the
repeal resolution will not become
permanent as bills are to be intro
duced to restore various setups as
they were under the executive
orders.

They heard the speakers, too,
criticize the New Deals spending
policies, centralization of govern
ment and the administrations bus
mess regulatory legislation.
Senator Wiley contended the ad-
ministration was departing from
the objectives of industrial democ-
racy, which he said were necessary
to preserve the American form of
government. He recommended a
long-range Republican program
embracing, among other things, the
encouragement of business expan-
sion and business spending, revision
OF the Labor Relations Act and a
comprehensive farm program.

RETAIL TRADING TAKES
TURN FOR The BETTER

NEW YORk-Retail trade took
an abrupt turn for the better last
week, with a resultant increase in
wholesale orders for seasonal mer-
chandise, but buying in primary
markets generally continued dull,
Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, said today
in its weekly review.
Retail sales for the nation were
estimated to s per cent above
the 1888 week. The actual year.
to-year change for wholesale was
not reported, but trade in that di-
vision was termed moderately
higher.
The review noted that the de-
cline in stock prices appeared to
have an adverse effect on retail
buying of so-called luxury goods.
particularly in eastern cities, and
added that preliminary reports in
dictated sales of automobiles this
month would show less than sea-
sonal increase over February.
