Vare Ballot Kept, Not Trust

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. (AP)
The senate's slush fund and
elections committee came to a
parting of the ways late today on
the counting of the ballots in the
Vare-Wilsou senatorial contest
from Pennsylvania.
After conferring with Chairman
Waterman of the elections sub
committee. Senator Reed of Mis
souri, chairman of the senate elec
tions committee, wrote to David
Ffiarr, the senate sergeant at arms,
directing him not to turn over any
of the Pennsylvania ballots to the
elections committee.
Earr was reminded by Reed
that the ballots now In his cus
tody and brought here from Phil
adelphia and Allegheny counties
were seized unaer me autnoniy
of the Robinson resolution, which
directed that the campaign funds
committee proceed to take over
the ballots in the case of the con
test brought against William S.
Vare, republican, by his demo
cratic opponent. William B. Wil
son, In the 1926 senatorial elec
tion. The Waterman sub-committee
decided late today to start the
count of the ballots next Monday,
including thoe which have been
ordered seized in four other Penn
sylvania counties, Delaware
Lackawanna, Luzerne, and Schuyl
kill.
While Senator Reed has made
no public pronouncement, it has
been no secret at the capital that
he has been very much dissatis
fied with the manner in which the
elections committee has been pro
ceeding with the case.
Whether the differences be
tween the two committees can be
amicably settled, or will eventual
ly reach the floor of the senate, Is
a question the answer to which
lies in the future.

Suggestions that the former

Danger of Fire
Fire insurance rates in Salem
are too high.
This is not meant as a claim
that they are unduly high In com
parison to the hazards not yet.
But Salem Is naturally a fire-
safe city, because it has wide
streets, no streetcars, no traffic
jams, wide lots and wide spaces
between houses, fireproof build
ings generally downtown, and well
built homes throughout the city;
no ehack district anywhere.
Portland Rates Lower
Portland, admirable city though
it is otherwise, has all of these
handicaps to face in solving its
fire protection problem; and yet
Portland has insurance rates In
many classifications not two-thirds
as high as the rates here.
This fact was brought out yes
terday when a man who owns
buildings in both cities visited Sa
lem. On a building of a certain
type in Portland, he pays $1.10 a
thousand annually; on the same
classification of building here,
equally well built, and with the
advantage of a wider space be

he must pay $1.93.
Higher Than Taxes
This man said that while many
people are worried about high tax

GELES,; Feb. -2. (AP). The
sanity trial of William Edward
Hickman today produced an lnti-
mate picture of his early Arkan-
sas home life, painted from the
witness stand by his father, moth
er and brother, and left in trial as
evidence the heavy knife with
which he killed Marian Parker.
The sixth trial day also brought
the first of Hickman's alienists to
the defense of his plea of insan
ity.
A broad shouldered, ruddy
faced father whose testimony of
his family unhapplness broke him
down sobbing, testified the early
life of the defendant had been af
fected by a melancholy, weeping
mother. He repeated the asserted
threats of the "nervous and pe
culiar" mother to kill him and
their five children. He told of her
showing signs of insanity from
their early married life, down to
when doctors told him she was
"crazy."
Admits View Changed
The witness, on the other hand
admitted to Prosecuting Attorney
Asa Keves. that before his wife
was sent to an asylum for a short
period he had stated to the com
mitting officials that he never
had seen any signs of insanity un
til she attempted suicide a few
months earlier.
The father denied that he be
lieved his alleged relations with
other somen had caused his wife's
unhappy condition. He admitted
that when he left his family in
19.20 ttat he married again across
the border in northern Mexico.
The gray haired, unemotional
mother, in sharply metallic ac
cents and tone, testified that she
remembered a "few times" when
she threatened to kill her husband.
She testified she attempted suicide
15 years ago because "nobody
seemed to want or care about"
her, and she "might as well die."

FALL RIVER, Mass., Feb. 2.

checked at 2 a. m. today after
sweeping over an area of five
blocks and levelling at least 25
buildings, Including many busk

age ran as high at $35,000,000.
Lack of water pressure handi
capped the firemen, who were re
inforced by detachments from
many Massachusetts and Rhode

temperature caused ice to form
on the ruins. The Pocassett Mills,
where the fire had originated re
