COMMITTEE hearings on sentative Fred Brittens - Reprebill to place the Hawaiian Islands under an army or navy commission began and attracted a large number of witnesses and spectators. Among the former was Mrs. Granville Fortescue, mother-in-laof Lieut. Thomas Massle and his in t7ie recent sensational murder trial In Honolulu. Testimony was beard from Gen. Douglas MacArthur, chief of stafT; other army and navy officers, and Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent. e rpLEVEX men of great national sent to the Republican and Democratic leaders of the senate and house an earnest appeal to lay aside every form of partisanship" and, with their party followers, to unite to balance the federal budget. The signers of this letter were: Nicholas Murray Butler, presl dent of Columbia university, Republican ; Alfred E. Smith, Democratic candidate for the Presidency In 1928; Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, Democrat ; Gov. Wilbur L. Cross of Connecticut, Democrat; Gov. Joseph B. Ely of Massachusetts, Democrat; Alanson B. Houghton of New York, Republican ; Frank 0. Lowden of Illinois, Republican; William H. Crocker of San Francisco, member of Republican national committee; Charles Nagel of St. Louis, Republican; Roland S. Morris of Philadelphia, Democrat, and John Grier Hibben, retiring president of Princeton university, Republican. Replies from the party leaders were prompt but scarcely satisfying. Senator Jim Watson, majority leader of the senate, said: The letter Is three months too late. We have done everything they suggest toward a balanced budget, but we are hindered by special Interests. There have been no signs of partisanship at any time. Senator Harrison of Mississippi, Democratic floor leader on the tax bill, said: There has been no partisanship In the house or senate on the problem of balancing the budget. This legislation will be achieved without any spirit of partisanship." Other senators took occasion to praise themselves and their opponents for nonpartisan and wise action, and then all went ahead with their scrapping over the tariff features of the revenue bill. prom-iuenc- COCIALISTS, meeting in national convention In Milwaukee, nominated Norman II. Thomas of New lork for President and James II. Maurer of Pennsylvania for second place on the ticket. Mr. Thomas, who was the party's candidate in 1928, said his campaign would be a war against the Republican and Democratic parties and against the kingdom of poverty." Before the nomination, which was by acclamation, Mr. Thomas defeated an attempt to commit the Socialist party to confiscation of the principal industries of the nation. Mrs. Victor Berger of Milwaukee declined the nomination for Vice President, so Mr. Maurer wus chosen by acclmuution. The Communist party ws ' to hold Its convention In Chicago St 28 and 29, and there seemed no doubt that It would nominate William Z. Foster for President and James W.

There were many things for the mayor to explain, and so he went before tbe committee and tried to The explain them. most serious of these I matters were thus listed : His acceptance of $2G,5.!5.51 worth of Mayor WalkeP bonds, for which he had not paid, from J. A. Sisto, when the latters company was seeking stricter municipal control of taxicabs. How he happened to take with him to Europe In 1927 a $10, (XX) letter of credit which had been purchased for cash by J.

Scanlans payments to Dr. William Walker, the mayor's brother, for medical services were usually 50 per cent of the commissions Scanlan received for sales of equipment to the street cleaning department and the department of sanitation. Why Scanlans check for $6,000, part of a commission paid on the sale of material to the city, was found In the bank account of Walkers missing fiscal agent, Russell T. Sherwood.

CAREY of the of Trade went down to Washington and conferred with Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, and took occasion to make the fiercest attack on the federal farm board and Its doings that has been heard. He called the board's record a ghastly smear and said its result had been the almost complete abolishment of the open, competitive market which required 75 years to establish, ne declared wheat could and would advance if the board were forced by congress to desist at once from Its senseless efforts," and said he could appoint a committee of six members of the Chicago Board of Trade who in a short time, and with absolutely no drain on the taxpayer, could and would dispose of all the government wheat for cash at a steadily advancing price with the Inevitable favorable reflection on the general condition of the country." Mr. Carey selected a rather unfavorable time for his stack, inasmuch as Just then the wheat market showed a decided tendency toward higher prices. J. C. Stone, chairman of the farm board, seized his advantage and replied sharply to Mr. Carey's assault, ne said: "Wheat is the only great major commodity which for the last five months has shown a definite upward tendency. Its influence under the present favorable statistical position may well lead other commodities to higher ground. That opportunity will not be risked in the hands of the people In a group representing those who have grown rich from the profits gained by market manipulation." Mr. Stone challenged the Chicago grain gamblers," ns he called them, to explain how It Is that wheat has been held from 5 to 15 cents n bushel above tbe world market : this, he averred.
