Amidst Doubts
Dispute Still Rages on
Legality; of Powers' ,
Being Continued
Devaluation Power for
President Is Given
43to39 0keh 4
WASHINGTON, July K.-flP)-The
hard-fought bill continuing
President Roosevelt's . power to
devalue the dollar and operate
the 12,000.000,000 currency sta
bilization fund cleared Us last
congressional obstacle today when
the senate approved it, 43 to 39,
but a vehement dispute about its
legality still raged.
t ...... ttttoa-n instated that since
the president's powers expired at
midnight last Friday, no
Xo "continue" them was valid.
n, ma th administration
would have to sUrt all over again
with a differently worded mea
sure, committee hearings and. de
bate. '
President Expected
To Sign at Once . M
Administration officials brnshed
aside the objections as unfounded,
and the president was expected to
Ioti tlu mananrA onlcklv. orob-
ably tomorrow. Preparing to aet
on a provision of the bin, treasury
officials drafted regulations for
the purchase of domestic silver at
71 cents per ounce. A section call
ing for such a price (which con
r..i. with tho Aid nrice of S4.C4
cents an ounce) was forced into
the monetary bill by embatUed
senators from the western sIItbt
" states. .,, ; :
... The measure contained nothing
-"bout foreign silver, thereby leav
ing the treasury free to, continue
buying the m eta) from, Mexican
and other sources. It was believed
that aynrchas price forhia metal
would he announced at poon.to-
morrow, and " that It probably
would be in the vicinity of the
18 cents an ounce price posted
last Friday, the last day on which
silver was bought. .7:
If o Change Made
On Gold Price f '
The senate vote also made no
change In the $S5-an-ounee priee
for gold, the bill merely authoris
ing the president to change it If
an emergency arises. It permits
him to raise the price (which is
the way the dollar is devalued)
to a maximum of $41.34 per
ounce.
Before 'todays rote, the repub
. lican leadership fought every inch
of the way to hold together the
remnants of Its coalition with
western silver democrats, and to
attract to Its side certain demo
crats from the south. In both en
deavors it was only partially suc
cessful, and that was the reason
for its four-vote defeat
The senate's day began with
thin attendance, and a lack of
excitement which seamed anti
climatic after the tension of Fri
day's night filibuster. But, as the
day wore on and the republicans
n.it. nn. micrt tfter another
Interest increased. When the vote
was taken no one could say for
certain what the result would be.
Vice-President Garner took over
the chair, while some were pre-
dieting he might hare to break a
tie vote.
From start to finish, so tar as
tha aenata was concerned, the con
troversy hinged upon one of the
atranzest voting alliances the
eonatA has ever seen, a coalition
which united the "hard money
republicans, of the east and west
ern silver democrats and currency
" eYnanstonistS. " " '
Some of the silverites, arguing
that the report snouia oe sent
fcnpfc- tn conference for restoration
of the full silver price, stayed
with their renuhllcan associates
today, but, mostly, they bolted to
the administration, and the re
; publicans t conld not attract
. enourh votes from tne demo
cratic side : to offset the . differ

three ether small blasts were re

The detective office reported
tonight's explosion, according to
information it had received, was
"apparently bigger than the oth

wrecked two walls of an unused
garage. The second ripped open
a sewer pipe near a bridge cross
ing Canadian National railway
tracks, and the third was a small
blast which did practically no
damage at an unused brass foun
dry. Earlier today Chief Constable
W. W. roster told interviewers
he believed the first three blasts
were the work of "some mentally
deranged person who likes to
hear the bang." He did not think
they were 'acts of wanton, de
struction." A preliminary police report t to
headquarters said the blast had
damaged a short section of the
British Columbia Electric Rail
