He was acquit- ted on a charge growing out of the slayings. Sheriff Hamilton had announced Wednesday that charges probably would be placed against Benton yesterday. The action was delayed, however, because of Oldham’'s views and because the Sheriff. had not had time to work further on the case. It was erroneously stated in an Associated Press dispatch yester- day that the murder charges had been filed against Benton. The Associated Press is glad to make this correction.

By CHARLES G. ROSS, Chief Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch, WASHINGTON, June 20.—In a political set-to in the Senate today, Harrison of Mississippi, as spokesman of the Democrats, de- clared that his party welcomed the issue created by the “Hoover-Grun- dy tariff’ and predicted that many of those who voted for this “‘legis- lative monstrosity” would be miss- ing from the next Congress. Recalling that in 1928, Mr. Hoo- ver was the “hope of the drys,” |}+Harrison wondered why the Presi- -|dent bad sent a message to the wet Mr. Morrow, assuring him of White House support in the fall elec- tions, but had not done the same thing for the dry Mrs. MeCormick in Illinois and the dry Mr. Davis in Pennsylvania. Harrison observed that the Pres- ident seemed to be “playing both ends against the middle.” “Up and down the line,” he con- tinued, “those who stood for the Hoover-Grundy tariff are being weeded out. The former Senator from Kentucky, Mr. Sackett. saw the handwriting on the wall and went to Germany as Ambassador to get out from under. The for- mer Senator from New Jersey, Mr. Bdge after helping to write the bill knew it was best for him to make his exist and accept an appoint- ment as Ambassador to France.” Calls Roll of Missing. Harrison read testimony given some years ago by Morrow before the Senate Finance Committee while the French debt settlement was under considcration. — ‘He made the chairman of the Finance Committee, the Senator from Utah, squirm in his seat,” said Harrison, “by his statements on foreign trade. He gave us the impression that he believed in the interchange of goods among na- tions and believed that when tar- iff walls were built too high, this interchange was menaced. “In New Jersey Mr. Ford, the friend of the administration, was beaten four to one, and Mr. Fre- linghuysen, notorious]. a high tar- iff man, was snowed under. Both of them had championed the Hoover-Grundy tariff. “Grundy, who cracked the whip, has been repudiated, and the Sen- ator from Illinois, Mr. Deneen, who helped to frame the patch- work will not be back. “On the other hand, the Pro- gressive Republican, Mr. Schall, who stood against the tariff bill and whose defeat was sought by the re- actionary interests of his State, has been renominated by a majority of 80,000 in Minnesota and the Pro- gressive Mr. McMaster, another op- ponent of the Grundy bill. who likewise was fought ments of reaction, has nominated in South Dakota.

You say’’—addressing Watson (Rep.), Indiana—‘‘that he was nominated in Iowa on the tariff issue. His speeches show that he made his campaign on his support of the McNary-Haughen bill and the debenture plan. He was nominat- ed not because of his vote for the tariff but in spite of it. He was nominated because he made the voters believe he was the friend of the farmer.’”’ Watson, the Republican’ leader, replied by placing in the record several prophecies of Republican disaster made by Harrison in pre- vious years, The irrepressible Mississippian said he was pleased to have the record embellished in that way and challenged Watson to send out the been re- the FRIDAY, JUNE 20, by the ele-| Mc- ———— — — — | members of the Power Commission 1930 ____ ST.LOUIS POST- DISPATCH —_. MORROW TO DISCUSS PUTTING WET PLANK IN PLATFORM New Jersey Senatorial Nominee to Meet G. O. P. State Leaders Monday. By the Associated Prees. NEWARK, N.

Morrow, Néew Jersey's Republican nominee for United States Senator, will meet party leaders Monday to discuss putting a wet plank into the Republican plat‘orm has been made by E. Ber- tram Mott, chairman of the State Republican Committee. Morrow ran on a platform advocating re- peal of the eighteenth amendment and state liquor control. Mott indicated that Morrow would make no attempt to dictate a plank on prohibition and ex- pressed the belief that the can- didate would be disinclined to in- fluence candidates for state offices in dry counties. Morrow will address the Repub- lican State convention in Trenton Tuesday and will leaye immedi- ately afterward for Mexico City, where he will spend about two months in completing his ambas- sadorial duties.

Order Against Item in Deficiency Bill Is Sustained. By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, June 20.—An item in the second deficiency bill carrying $250,000 for the law en- forcement commission for the fis- cal year 1931 was ruled out ona point of order in the House today on motion of Representative La | Guardia (Rep.), New York. | rules of the House the item could not be included in the bill. Representative C hindbloom (Rep.), Illinois, who was presiding, agreed and ruled the-item out aft- er recalling that the authorization for the commission's investigation of law enforcement conditions was only for the fiscal years 1929 and 1930. Thé action, even if the appro- priation is not restored, is not ex- pected to result in immediate ces- sation of the commisison’s work.

It is a theory of investigators, one to which they cling to above all, that Lingle was seen and proniised to see what he could do. It is known that he sounded out the State’s Attorney’s office, but was flatly turned down. Lingle was sure of his police pull but disliked that meddlesome State’s Attorney. The theory further goes that Lingle took money from the gamb- lers, assuring them he could ar- range for them to open, ‘but failed to deliver. They could not under- stand this. He was all-powerful.
