WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 (AP)
More and more the attention of
senators is being attracted by
charges of liquor drinking by
those who write the laws of the
country.
Senator Smith Wildman Brook
hart of Iowa, who startled his col
leagues in September with an ac
count of a dinner to senators at,
which liquor was served, gave no-
tics in the crowded chamber to
day that he would "discuss prohi
bition enforcement in general and
Wall street booze parties in par
ticular" soon after the gavel
bangs tomorrow. A republican
dry, he has been subpoenaed to
tell a rrand iurv Wednnsdnv what
be knows about the alcoholic pro
pensities of Washington.
GUIett Says Representatives -Work
Under Influence
Hardly had the Brookhart flur
ry subsided before Senator GU
Iett, republican. Massachusetts,
informed the senate he frequently
had seen representatives legislat
ing in the, house "under the in
fluence of liquor." For three
terms he was speaker of the
bouse.
Gillet's reuisukj occurred dur
ing debate on the resolution to
censure Senator Bingham, republi
can, Connecticut. He observed it
would keep congress busy to at
tempt to censure all indiscretions
by members, and said the alleged
Intoxication of house members
bad been obvious to those present
although unknown "to the
great American public."
Long reputed to be a bootlegger
for congressmen, "the man withi
the green hat" recently was ar
rested on liquor charges near the
senate office building entrance.
He is at Liberty on bond now.
Blease Demands Cleanup
Of Capitol Conditions j
Senator Blease, democrat
South Carolina, has been among
those demanding a police cleanup
of condition.- in the vicinity of the
capitol. He charges that liquor
and narcotics have been peddled
openly there, and that whiskey
has been sold in the capr.ol it
self. Meanwhile Senator Howell, re
publican, Nebraska, has been col
lecting information about enforce
ment conditions in Washington.
Several weeks ago he was asked
by President Hoover to produce
evidence to support bis charges of
lax enforcement in the capital.
Howell said he probably would
have nothing t osay tomorrow.
While Brookhart declined to go
Into details, the Iowa senator did
say that the dinner to which he
was referred was given by Walker
J. Fahey, New York broker, sev
eral years ago, and that a number
of senators and backers were
there.
) "I sat between two bankers," he
exclaimed, smiling, but he would
not say who they were.
.Wall Street Declared
Responsible for Situation
The lowan promised his speech
would be somewhat of a picture
of "Wall Street In action and the
lobby ia Washington."
Referring to enforcement
throughout the country, he said be
thonght it was good in "36; or

A formal denial by John J.

The statement was in a letter

Campaigns of a f air more inten

principal candidates making last

republican, Norman Thomas, so
cialist, and Richard E. Enright,
former police commissioner, and
nominee of the Square Deal party.
Candidates in the many other
mayorality contests in Massachus

and Ohio, also carried their ora
torlal efforts down to the last
minute for appeal to the voters,
thus concluding campaigns which
have furnished the usual modicum
of intensity and bitterness.
Virginia to Elect
Two Chief Officers
Besides electing a governor,
Virginia also is to select a lieu
tenant governor, attorney general
and all members of the house of
delegates, while there were scores
of contests . for municipal and
county offices. However, the gu
bernatorial election overshadowed
all others because in it the de
mocratic state machines faces its
greatest test since the reconstruc
tion days.
Both leaders of the regulars
and of the coalitionists predicted
victory, with margins ranging all
the way from 10,000 to 20,000 or
more. President Hoover carried
the state a year ago by 25,000
majority, being' the first . republi
can candidate for the presidency
to do so.

the minimum of five years soli

When the Jurors, after an hour's
deliberation, returned to the
crowded and excited courtroom

ON STOCK MARKET
Prices Continue to Drop as
Trading Resumed on
Wall Street
NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (AP)
It was a day of anti-climax on
the stock market today, as trad
ing was resumed after the three
day recess a day of sagging
prices, and waning speculative en.
thusiasm.
Contrary to expectations in
many quarters, tie market was
sharply depressed by profit-taking
at the opening. Despite mo
mentary rallies as the session pro
gressed, the list was persistently
heavy, and closed around the low
est levels of the day, with lead
ing issues off 3 to 17 points.
Although commission houses
had reported a huge influx ot
buying orders during the thr.ee
day suspension of trading, these
orders proved to be largely for
odd lots, and failed to Impart re
sistance to the price level, as pro
fessional traders who had accumu
lated huge blocks of stocks at last
week's low levels, took their prof-
its. There appeared to be con
siderable liquidation of .stock
bought for support purposes, and
renewed short selling as well.
Furthermore, brokerage houses
had discovered many more mar
ginal accounts which had to be li
quidated. Failure of last week's vigorous
rally from the low levels reached
on Tuesday, to carry oyer the
three-day Interval, .proved a far
reaching disappointment, and a
fairly steady stream of selling
poured Into the market during the
afternoon, while the volume ol
trading tapered off to normal pro
portions for the first time in more
than a week, and the ticker was
able to catch ud with the market.
The day'a transactions totalled 6,-
202,930 shares, of which approx
imately 3,700,000 shares changed
hands in the first two hours. The
turnover compared with 7,149,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. (AP)
Condemnation was voted upon
Senator Bingham of Conecticut
today by the senate, 54 to 22, for
his relations with .the Connecticut
Manufacturers' association while
formulating the tariff legislation.
Obviously wounded, but still
defiant, the republican senator, a
former Yale professor and World
war aviator, replied as he left the
chamber that he would "certainly
not" resign.
Though four hours of debate,
he had stubbornly contended his
right to use an officer of the Con
necticut association to help him
fn his work of framing the tariff
bill and to take that officer into
the secret taritf rate making ses
sions of the finance committee

Efforts to Modify.
Resolution Are Many
Twice the senate had voted
down attempts to modify the res
olution of condemnation but then
Senator Norrls, republican, Ne
braska, its author, yielded to
please from both sides of the
chamber that Bingham be ab
solved of corrupt motives. That
specification went into the res
olution.
As the senate was finally about
to tvote, the gray haired Nebraskan
turned to the tall Connecticut sen
ator slumped in his seat just be
hind him, to assert the "pity is
that the senator has not yet
grasped that the action he did
was injurious to the senate."
It was the first time in 27 years
that the senate voted to censure
member and an atmosphere of
solemnity prevailed. The cham
ber and galleries were crowded
when the resolution was brought
up by Norris at the outset of the
session. Members of the house
crowded about the rear of the
chamber.

Recently Established U. S. Board
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 4. (AP) The Co-operative Farm
ers Northwest Grain corporation was organized here
today with capital of $6,000,000, to be owned by the Farmer
Elevator and Grain Pool associations of Minnesota, the Da
kotas and Montana and to act in co-operation with and as the
agency for the Farmers' National Grain corporation in the
four states.
The National corporation was
created under the auspices of
the Federal Farm board to
carry on the board's program of
financing the farmer-owned co
operatives of the United States
and to market grain for them.
The farm board and its chairman,
Alexander Legge, also announced
approval ten days ago In Chicago,
of the plan for organization of the
new Northwest Grain corporation
under the leadership of the offices
and; members of the associations
of the four states.
The plan to go ahead with the
formation of the northwest agency
was started at a meeting of 36 of
the 53 members of the organiza
tion committee. These 53 men,
who include officials and direct
ors of state groups, will constitute
the . first board of directors of
of the Co-operative Farmers'

the exception of one, who declined
a seat on the board. He is Toilet

that difficulties were always en

Technical Objection
Raised by O'Hara
The only objection to the res

came from Alderman David
O'Hara, who said it should be

committees would be elected after
the new members took their seats,
instead of before.
Alderman S. E. Purvine admit

pointed out that the intention tii
to dispose of committee assign

elected, so that no pressure could
be brought to bear on this mat
