dismissal of charges against I.
H. Fetty and W. R. Adams, Em
pire Holding corporation's former
officers who have not yet come
to ceurt on the charge of devis

written to John H, Carson, dis

of the judge's wishes in the mat

from Goldstein.
"I have not read the Indict

Mahan's letter. "I am therefore

WASHINGTON, June 10 (AP)
An overwhelming bi-partisan
majority swept the $300,000,000
democratic relief bill through the
senate today In lees than six
hours as congress drove for an
early adjournment.
The unemployment aid meas
ure was approved 72 to 8 in the

The bill, which now goes to the
house, provides for advances to
the states on the basis of popu
lation through the reconstruction

Carries Approval
Of President Hoover
Carrying President Hoover s
approval, the relief measure
found easy going in the senate
despite a prophesy by Senator
Reed (R., A.), that it was a
"mile Btone In the disintegration
of the American republic." ,
It faces harder sledding, how
ever, in the house which has al
ready passed a $2,300,000,000 re
lief measure sponsored by Speak
er Garner.
After its approval today by the
senate, Representative Ralney,
house democratic leader said the
measure "offers no permanent
relief."
Reed's solemn warning drew
the quick retort from Senator
Borah (R., Idaho), that: "I do
not believe this marks the be
ginning of the fall of the repub
lic, nor that the republic will
fall."

Scott Backs
New Plan of
Relief Work
PORTLAND, Ore., June 10
API Leslie M. Scott, chairman
ot the state highway commission,
said here tonight that the state
highway department will provide
emergency relief work.
After a long conference today
with Highway Engineer R. H. Bal
dock, the commission decided on a
wage scale of $1.50 a day Instead
of the $3 a day carried under the
old plan.
"It is a plan whereby, in our
opinion, the credit ot the state
will be conserved," Scott said.
The commission anticipates that
1 2.0 00.0 00 in federal aid will be
forthcoming from congress within'
the next month. Scott said the
commission has almost $1,000,000
of federal aid still available if it
can provide the match money for
it.
"It would be businesslike,"
Scott said, "to issue bonds for this
purpose under our new plan."
Concentration camps would be
built on the jobs. Minimum wages
would be specified, as well as max
imum board charges.
Present plans are te use part of
the $2,000,000 extra emergency
government relief appropriation
to mafch the $1,000,000 of federal
aid now available, Scott said, so as
to lessen1-the strain on the state's
finances.
