WASHINGTON, Juno II. (fl'l House leaders divided to day In take ii the farm hill again in tltt house on Thurs day. WASHINGTON. June 11. (Ari The senate today rejected the com promise farm bill. The outcome of farm legislation Is now in doubt as a result. The house lias flatly refused to take n vote on the debenture plan. Tho senate vote was a victory for those who contend the debenture plan should not be eliminated until the house expresses itself. Some farm leaders have asserlo.1 that senate rejection of the confe. ence bill would mean the end of farm legislation in the special ser- si0. but all agree that enactment will now be considerably delayed. The vote was 4C to 43. Two Democrats who had previ ously voted Tor the debenture to day voted for the conference bill without the debenture Fletcher and Trammell of Florida. However, these votes were offset by the switch of Senator Couzens, Republican, of Michigan, who pre viously had voled against the de benture, but who today voted also against the conference measure without that provision. Senators King of I'lah and Walsh of Massachusetts, who were rated against the debenture in the sen ate before, today voted against the bill. The decision brought to nn end a controversy that has enveloped congress for weeks, and during which the Benate and bouse hav been deadlocked over the form ag ricultural legislation should take. President Hoover, soon after the special session was begun, sent word to Capitol Hill that he was opposed to the export debenture plan, but the senate, in passing th! measure, Inserted that provision. The house refused to accept it and its conferens, who met with the senate conferees, steadfastly held out against any measure which contained such a provision. Party Lines Fall Party lines were broken during the discussion of the bill.

I RAISED ON WATER Supply for Jacksonville Awaits Opinion As to Le gality of Action Council Favors Furnishing Water to Suburban Districts Board Reports Ample Flow for Sale. At a Joint meeting of the Ity cauncil and the city water com- j mission yesterday afternoon, the ; mutter of the suit of Medford I water to Jacksonville was dis cussed ut great length, and it was decided that final approval should await an opinion of the city attorney, as to whether or not such action was legal. Another point is whether the serving of another municipality would vitiate the Medford water right. It was the concensus of the council that, while they (woro In favor of furnishing- city water to adjacent suburban districts tho sale ' of city water to a separate municipality, such as Jacksonville, was freighted with legal thorns, and, it was even hinted, that such a step would bring the city water department under the supervision of the public service commission. In this connection Councilman II. U. Hammond cited the decis ion in the telephone toll rate case, which held In effect that in pub lic utility service " Jacksonville could he regarded almost as a mu nicipal part of Medford. In view of the importance of the quest4nn, and the fact that Jacksonville has called a special bond election for June 20, to vote on the matter, a legal opinion is due within a very few days. Chairman Earl C. Gaddls pre sented the water board's stand. Ho held It was purely a business proposition, viz: That by the fur nishing of Jacksonville with water now eoine to waste, down a creek near ths Hed Top school, and into irrigation ditches, revenue would be derived that would aid in the retiring of $ 1 t,000 in bonds due in 1038. He quoted figures to show that the water thus sold would be but a fractional part of the supply of 18 second feet. He also held that development of suburban districts was vital to the growth of the city. Ijcgnllty Arises. The fine legal point of Just how far the powers of the water board extended arose at this point. City j Attorney Carkin was unable to givj an off-hand opinion. The council took the position that if the water board had full charge, they were willing to let the re sponsibility rest with them, but If they shared the responsibility they wanted to know it. The members of the council, at the request of Mr. Ciaddls; expressed the fullest confidence In tho water board, but admitted they did not know how far their responsibility reached. Arthur Hill, a member of the water board suggested that a rrieiidly suit be instituted to set - tie the question, but it was dis- i carded on the grounds that It 1 would take too long a time. i It was brought out during the discussion that the nightly waste of water In the city at the peak Is two million gallons and that at present there are no restrictions on water users. It was also Hhown that users on a meter use less water than If given free rein. Councilman p. M. Kershaw, flrt declaring that he had" an open' mind on thu matter, predicted 2a.0(i0 population for Medford within the next 10 years and that, in view of this possibility, what was wasted now would he handy I in a few years. Ho held that 1 furnishing water to outside d.s-j tricts minht later produce a civic problem, that would necessitate; the building of another million dollar pipe line. The waler board replied that when Medford had' 25, oMt population they Could af-; ford another pipe-line. Councilman Charles Wing wns 1 for the sale of water to Jackson-) villo and other districts, to gain the additional revenue, provided n did not handban Medford. , ouncllman James Collins con lurred in thl view.

WASHINGTON, June 11. (P) -Democratic leaders were Inclined to be pleased today over tha outcome of last n iglit's dinner to Jouett Shouse, chief of the new party headquarters In Washington. Among the 300 party leaders who attended, including 11 of the south's 22 senators, many were ready to Interpret the reception given the nddress-s of National Chairman John J. Haskob, Mr. Shouse and other speakers as a clear indication that the party would enter the H'30 congressional campaign with a more united front than it presented In the 1128 presi dent lal contest. They were firm In the opinion that, instead of widening the rift in democratic ranks which devel oped in the presidential campaign, as some had predicted It would, the dinner had served an opposite pur pose. Tho parly, they assorted, had been clearly assured, In the wordn of Mrr Khoune, of a "perma nent, working, constructive organi zation" In the national headquarters which would nut lend Its Influence "to the candidacy of any of the various men who may aspire to the next presidential nomination." The dinner, which was given hy the Jj-fferson association of the District of Cnlumb'ia, was made the occasion by Mr. Raskoh to "set .t rest all doubt about my continuing" as chairman of the national com mittee. Mr. Ilaskob'ft participa tion In the compliment to Mr. Shouse, who has taken charge of the new headquarters as chairman of the executive committee of the national committee, had been the basis of predictions that a targe number of southern democrats in congress would absent themselves as nn expression of opposition to continuation of the "Hmlth-Has-kob leadership." Had Urol Excuse Among tho 11 southern senators who were not present, Kwanson nnd Olass of Virginia, and Trammell rt Florida, were at pains to make It clear that their "previous engage ments" were real ons.

Prohibition Officials Decide 'Bootleg Queens' a Myth Answer Telephone, Keep Books, and Act As Blinds Too New at Game to Be Leaders No Need Special Curb. '. WASHINGTON, June 11. P) Prohibition official have decided that the "bootleg queen" ia a myth. Only 35 women have been sen tenced to federal liimltutiona for houtlcKKing since January 1. a. check-up by them shuwed today, indicating, they said, that as boot leggers women were good stool pigeon. . "Women are the bootleg help ers," officials .said. "They play, their minor part answering .tele phones., keeping accounts, and oc-i cnslonally as blinds In transporta tion, but none hna been , convicted for taking cargoes to sea, leading bootleg rings, or engaging in 'big lime' ruin-runniug on their own." One high official explained the situation by suggesting .that in this as in other activities wumei) are too new to the practice to lead It.', Only since the organization of bootlegging aa a business, he said, has there been opportunity for the leaders to, engage In It, without) braving physical hazard... This, development has made It conceivable that women should be come, leaders, . but they - have - not done so. . ' Kxtenuatlng circumstances re cited In women's upplicatlona for clemency reveal their practice of following rather than, leading, it wus said. One 18-year-old girl sentenced to two years for pos session, for Instance, has brought evidence to show she merely took the blame for an aunt, who had been bootlegging regularly but on a small scale. Another woman re cently convicted for selling liquor went Into that line after her hus band died, leaving stock "on her hands." They are not classified as are other types of prohibition violat ors. No necessity for devising special tactics to aprehond land punish feminine bootleggers had been seen. ' START THIRD LAP T REYJAVIK. Iceland, June 11.
