FOR DISCOUNT BILL
Resolution is Adopted Asking
Newspapers to Hire
Hand Reporter to Handle Pro¬
ceedings Accurately.
Atlanta, Mar. 2. (A 3 )—The house to¬

asking the newspapers to hire a short
hand reporter to handle the proceed¬
ings of the Western & Atlantic Rail¬
way discount bill which is the first
order of business tomorrow. The
resolution set forth as its object
that the proceedings might be ade¬
quately reported.
A constitutional majority of 104
votes is required for the house to
pass a senate bill. The vote on the
bowjet Jl commission measure was 95
ft and 21 against, lacking nine votes

The creation of the budget com¬
mission was one of the points in Gov
'irnor Hardman’s call for the extra
s* jf .,sion.
Atlanta, Ga.,. March 2. (IP)—Both
houses of the general assembly will
go on a two-session basis daily be¬
ginning tomorrow.
The house adopted 87 to 26 a reso¬
lution by Speaker Russell and Repre¬
sentative West, of Randolph county,
for afternoon sessions beginning at
3 p. m., tomorrow.
The senate adopted a similar reso¬
lution Friday. The senate was to hold
an afternoon session today but there
was not a quorum present for the
morning session. A recess was taken
in order to round up enough senators
to transact business.
Senator Seaborn Wright sought to
have‘.the senate invoke its rule to ar¬
rest absentees but a motion to adjourn
and another to take a 15-minute re¬
cess blocked a vote on the move.
Two roll calls as the senate time
for convening arrived was answered
by 22 members. The quorum is_26.
The house received a resolution by
Representative Hooper Alexander, of
DeKalb county, requesting congress
to amend the United States law to per¬
mit taxing of all banks under laws of
the state in which they operate,
whether they do business under a na¬
tional or state charter.
The resolution explained that under
the present federal statute states may
tax national banks by one method
only. In Geoi‘gia they are taxed un¬
der the ad valorem law.
The house adopted the senate res¬
olution creating Miss Moina Michael,

Monterey, Calif., Mar. 2. t,/P)—Ed¬
na May Cooper, actress and aviatrix,
missing from Hollywood a week, was
found at the Monterey hospital today
suffering minor bruises and apparent

Miss Cooper had been regis ered

a week old, and body bruises. She
had no funds, Dr. Dormod.v said.

¥ COURT DECISION
ATLANTA FAILS IN EFFORTS TO
COMPEL BUREAU TO GRANT
GREATER POPULATION
Washington, March 2. (A 3 )—The city
of Atlanta lost in the District of Co¬
lumbia court of appeals today in its
effort to compel the census bureau to
report the population of “Greater At¬
lanta” as the population of the city.
The court upheld the action of the
District of Columbia supreme court in
denying a writ of mandamus against
W. M. Steuart, the director of the cen¬
sus.
The city had sought to have the bu¬
reau report a population of 360,691 in¬
stead of 270,360. The larger figure
is the population of the “municipality
of Atlanta" as created by an act of the
Georgia legislature.
The court today held the census was
exclusively within the authority of
congress, that its director has been
designated as the administrative agen¬
cy through which that authority shall
be exercised and that his decisions
may not be controlled by mandamus
unless arbitrary or capricious. Steu¬
art has expressed an intention of at¬
taching a foot note to the Atlanta fig¬
ure, calling attention to the Georgia
law creating the municipality, and its
population.
Today’s decision differed from the
lowev court opinion in one particular.
The latter held the census law did not
require the taking of the population
of cities, except so far as this might
be necessary in arriving at the popu¬
lation of states. The court of ap¬
peals held counting the population of
cities was required under the law.

BEFORE INVESTIGATORS
Strangulation of Mystery
an Becomes More Puzzling
as Officials Enter
Into Details of Case.
New York, Mar. 2. (A 3 )—While
detectives were trying today to
the slaying of Vivian Gordon, ^vice
inquiry witness, the Bronx grand
opened ts investigation into the
cl 'ime by hearing testimony from
John Bisehoff, her former husband,
Before entering the jury room,
Bisehoff denied he and Patrolman
Andrew J. McLaughlin had railroaded
her to prison on a trumped-up vice
charge in 1923.
Returning from a vacation in
muda, McLaughlin was first
tioned at length by Police Commis
sioner Edward P. Mulrooney and
triet Attorney Charles B. McLaugh
lin of the Bronx.
Miss Gordon flirted with him on
the street, he said, and he took her
to a lodging house where he made the
Her accusations that her blis¬
band conspired with him to obtain
control of their daughter were un¬
founded, he said. He exhibited a let¬
ter reading:
“You no doubt recall when you
framed Benita Bisehoff on March ‘.I,
1923, causing her conviction for va¬
grancy. She is now writing to tell
you she is going ot appear before
the vice committee and tell the whole
story.
“She leaves the rest to your imag¬
ination, which she hopes is as good
as when you concocted those lies
abut her in court.
“Yours truly,
“B. F. B.”
Miss Gordon, who also used the
name of Benita Franklin Bisehoff,
was strangled and thrown out of an
auto after conferring with counsel as¬
sisting Referee Samuel Seabury in
an inquiry into the magistrates
courts.
The ex-husband, John Bisehoff, bus¬
iness manager of the District of Co¬
lumbia reformatory at Lorton, Va.,
denied that he even knew McLaugh¬
lin or that a plot existed between
them. He obtained a divorce in Phil¬
adelphia in grounds of extreme
cruelty.
Miss Cassie Clayton, of Erie, Pa.,
to whom Miss Gordon repeated in a
letter her charges of framing, was
brought to New York today to be
questioned by Referee Seabury’s aides.
Dance Hall Scene
of First Trial by
Communist Court
New York, March 2. (A 3 )—Expelled
from the Communist party for “white
chauvinism" in the treatment of ne¬
groes, August Yokinen, Finnish jani¬
tor, trod the weary road to redemption
too’ay.
In the first mass trial staged by
Communists in America, Yokinen, who
speaks and understands but little
English, was convicted yesterday by a
jury in spite of an impassioned plea by
his negro counsel. The jury was com¬
posed of seven negroes and seven
white persons, including three women.
The scene was a dance hall in the
heart of Harlem with 2,000 members
of both races in attendance.
Yokinen’.s trial was based on charges
that he discriminated against three
| negroes at the Finnish Workers Club
ball some weeks ago—“failing to jump
at the throats of those who would ejefct
the negro comrades.” “White chauv¬
inism,” it was explained, is the viola¬
tion of complete political, economic
and social equality of negroes and
whites.
“Comrade Yokinen made formal ac¬
ceptance of the Communistic principle
of equal rights,” Prosecutor Clarence
A. Hathaway said, “but he was not
willing to accept its substance. Do
you suppose it is possible for our party
to convince the negroes that we will
fight for them if we show them we are
not ready to bathe with them ? ”
When the proceedings had been in¬
terpreted for him, the defendant sub¬
mitted a full confession.
“I refute and condemn my former
attitude and I want to prove it,” he
read in Finnish. “I appeal to you not
to deprive me of an opportunity to
work for the full equality of the negro
and the solidarity of negro and white
workers.”
The jury offered to readmit him to
the party in a year if he waged a
sade sade against against . “ ‘white white chauvm.sm” chai and
cherished ri the negro ne 2 ro on r,n every every occasion occasion

Senate Committee Recommends
Careful Scrutiny of Actions of
Powerful Corporations
REPORTS INDEPENDENTS
ARE BEING ABSORBED
states That if Existing Laws
j are Not Sufficient to Control
Mergers Remedial Legislation
is Necessary.
Washington, March 2. (A’)— The
ale’s food price investigating oom
imitlee today recommended "careful
[scrutiny" by the federal trade commis
■ -ion and the justice department of “an
j jolistic alarming control" tendency of toward the nation’s the mo nop food -
I by “a small group of powerful
|ations The and recommendation combinations." embodied
i was
in the committee’s report to the sen
late of its inquiry into the prices of
bread, meats, sugar and milk,
j "Within the past few years the ah
sorption of independent bakers and
distributors by gigantic
j I wide corporations, holding
mergers, and chain enterprises, has
been carried forward with
rapidity,” the report said.
“The committee recommends the
“•etui smitinj o i us i e\ copim n ,
bj the fedeial i.u e i ommission am
the department oi justice
“II existing laws are not sufficient ,
to control those mergers and combina¬
tions in the public interest the agen¬
cies above named should recommend
to the congress such remedial legisla
lion as they deem necessary."
Among other findings were:
1. That the retail price of bread
has not declined proportionately with
the price of wheat.
2. That there should he an immed¬
iate reduction of at least one cent a
pound in the wholesale price of bread
thioughout the country and a corre¬
sponding or larger reduction in retail
prices.
3. Some evidence that there is a
combination of restraint of trade to
fix and maintain the retail price of
bread.
4. That the wholesale and retail
prices of white flour have generally
reflected the decline in the price of
wheat.
5. That the lower prices paid to
the farmer for milk purchased for
fluid purposes have in general been
reflected in the retail prices charged
to the consumer, but that the distrib¬
utor has not borne any portion of
the reduction.
6. That the reduction in price paid
to the producer for milk used in the
manufacture of dairy products, which
is usually purchased at the surplus
price, has not in general been reflect¬
ed in the retail prices paid by the
consumer for dairy products.
7. That the retail prices of meat
have reflected the lower price received
by the producer and the packer on a
cents per pound basis hut that the per¬
centage decrease in the retail price is
materially less, due to the existence
of too many dealers competing with
each other, rather than a combination
in restraint of trade.
8. That the costs of distributing
food are too high and that a study of
the marketing of farm products is
worthy of consideration.
The report found that responsibility
for the failure of the retail price of
bread to reflect the decline in the
price of wheat “rests primarily upon
the large wholesale bakery compan¬
ies, which have failed to pass on to the
consumer the recent reductions in the
costs of their ingredients.”
Recommending an exhaustive inves¬
tigation by the federal trade commis¬
sion and the department of justice, of
distribution of milk and dairy pro¬
ducts, the committee found that in
most cases the reduction in milk,
nrices has been bprne wholly by, the
farmer without being shared by the
distributor.
In this connection, the committee
said “it had been impressed” with the
high distribution costs of food pro¬
ducts generally from the farmer to
the consumer, finding the retailer re¬
ceives as much, if not more, profit
than the farmer although the latter’s
investment is greater. A thorough
study of this phase of marketing was
held worthy of consideration.
The committee found the sale of
brown sugar at a higher price than
white did not appear to be unfair in
view of higher handling costs.

N THEATRE FIRE
Amusement House Built in 1752
By Monks in Mexico City is
Destroyed By Flames After
Midnight Performance.
Mexico City, Mar. 2. (A 3 )—At least
ten persons were burned to death and
a score or more were injured Theatre when
the 178-year-old Principal
burned at the end of a midnight per¬
formance today.
The ruins were still smouldering
when firemen brought out the ten
bodies.'
Police reported that they had sight¬
ed four others in the debris.
Among the victims were several
women and children.
Most of those who died were be¬
lieved to have been caughl in the
panic stricken rush of persons try¬
ing to get out of the theater and
tramped underfoot.
The dainty piroquetting of a troop
of Mexican chorus girls became a
scramble of horror with their lives
at stake when the Teai.ro Principal
burned to the ground.
Trapped behind a blazing curtain
and with other exits cut off by the
flames the girls, screaming, believed
themselves doomed when firemen
fought their way through the blast
and saved them. Several were sc
verefv burned and maimed.
Twenty persons were injured. A
stagehand lowering the curtain let it
fall across an electric wire which
short circuited and ignited it. Un¬
noticing, he raised the curtain to al¬
low the dancers to take a how and
thus spread the flames to the loft.
Then he lowered the curtail again and
completed the trap from which they
barely escaped.
The theatre was built in 1752 by
monks to stage benefit performances.

Description of Crime, Introduc¬

Articles Found at Scene Fail
ot Phase Him.
Indianapolis, Mar. 2. (A 1 ) A wound
in the right lung of the unidentified
torso of a man found in the burned
ruins of an automobile near here last
May was described today at the first
degree murder trial of Harold Her¬
bert Schroeder. The state contends
Schrocdcr murdered the men and then
set fire to the body and the car.
Dr. Lawrence A. Lewis, a former
deputy coroner, was on the witness
stand during most of the forenoon
session and offered testimony based
on his post-mortem examination of
the body.
Asked by the deputy prosecutor
what caused I hi' wound, the witness
replied:
“In my opinion the wound was
caused by a penetration of the lung
by a knife or some sharp instrument,
or the passage of a small projectile.”
Before Dr. Lewis was a photograph
of the victim. II was introduced in
evidence, together with six other ex¬
hibits, including a pockotbook found
in Schroeder's coal ten feet from the
burned car; three insurance puperil
which were in the purse; a string of
rosary beads, and a compact which
was imbedded in the flesh of (he dead
man.
As each article was introduced, De¬
fense counsel objected and in each in¬
stance was overruled by Judge Frank
P. Baker.
Schroeder showed no emotion as
the photograph was, presented, nor
did he change expression as Dr. Lewis
described in detail the appearance of
the body.

Quarrel After Husband Failed

Resulted in Death of Man
in Kansas City.
Kansas Ctiy, March 2. I/P)—Stories
of outbursts of anger which at times
led John G. Bennett to strike his wife,
were related today by witnesses called
by defense to prepare for Mrs. Myrtle
! A. Bennett’s own answer to the charge
llliat she murdered her husband in a
I bridge game quarrel,
i Although the defense lias maintain
I ed the wealthy perfume salesman was
killed by accident, two witnesses were
|called who testified they had seen Ben
j nett strike his wife prior to the slaps
with which he answered her complaint
that he was a "hum bridge player."
Guy IL Baker, a paper hanger who
worked at the Bennett apartment, tes¬
tified he had seen Bennett become en¬
raged because he couldn’t find a
shirt, strike the defendant, in the face,
curse her and depart in anger.
Nelson \V. Duff, a building repair
contractor, said he had witnessed a
similar outburst over a necktie. He
testified Bennett struck his wife anil
exclaimed “I’ll put some sense in your
head.”
"lie slapped her real hard,” the wit*
ness said, “and cursed her.”
Both witnesses said Mrs. Bennett
retired to her bedroom sobbing after
having been struck by her husband.
Mis. F. M. Houston, of Memphis,
was recalled to the stand today to re¬
late how Bennett had become violently
enraged when her son placed a dog
in his lap, while Mr. and Mrs. Bennett
( were posing for a picture.
"lie went into the house and sulked
i offering ■').*, ,l . a .v> the apology witness to Mrs. said, Bennett, without
an
who at the time was an expectant
mother.
Another flare of anger on the part
of Bennett, caused by his wife’s excla¬
mation of pleasure at the sight of wild
flowers while on an automobile ride,
was testified to by Mrs. Alfred Ebert,
of San Antonio.
Mrs. Ebert said Bennett answered
his wife’s exclamation with “If you
( ver do that again, I’ll slap your face."
Bennett’s lust bridge hand was de¬
scribed by Mrs. May me Hofman, par¬
ticipant in the game, subpoenaed by
the state but not placed on the stand
by the prosecution.
A quarrel between the Bennets fol¬
lowed his failure to make four spades
doubled, Mrs. Hofman said.
"Before v.e knew what, had happen¬
ed he had reached over and slapped
her four or live times," Mrs. Hofman
testified.
She told of Mrs. Bennett being .stun¬
ned and later hysterical, of hearing
shots and 'liter seeing Mrs. Bennett on
her knees beside her wounded hus¬
band, repeating over and over again:
“Jack, talk to me. Jack, talk to me.”
