May Lose Senate Post.
The likelihood of an effort to un
seat the Iowa senator as president
pro tern, now that the chairmanship
tight is out of the way, has brought
out suggestions til some quarters
that certain of the republican insur
gents and the farmer-labor senators
comprising the La I'oilette group
might throw their support to Senator
Pittman, democrat, Nevada.
A sub committee of I lie senate for
eign committee will be empowered
under a resolution adopted by that
committee today, to hold public hear
ings upon the proposal of Senator
Borah, republican, Idaho, urging rec
ognition of the soviet government of
Russia.
The committee decided, 11 to 2. in
favor of public hearings, Senators Wil
lis, Ohio, and Pepper, Pennsylvania,
republicans, voting In opposition. Com
position of the sub-committee was not
discussed today, hut it was considered
certain Senator Borah would be chair
man.

Outlaws Escape
After Battle
One of Florida (»aug and
Deputy Sheriff Killed in
(iu 11 Fight.
Uj- Associated 1’ress.
West Palm Beach, Fla., Jan. 10.—
Officers and posaemen followed three
trails early today In pursuit of mem
bers of the famous Ashley gang, who
escaped following a gun fight with
officers yesterday, in which one out
law and Deputy Sheriff Fred Baker
were killed when the officers sought
to enter the camp to arrest Joe
Ashley on a charge of highway t*ib
bery.
Just before nightfall last night dep
uty sheriffs encountered John Ashley,
son of Joo Ashley, near Olymphis,
and exchanged shots with him. He
halted and was ordered to throw
up Ills hands, but Instead of obey
fug he whipped out his revolver and
fired. He leaped into a depression in
the ground as the officers opened fire
and escaped. At the home of John
Rogers nearby the officers learned
that Albert Miller, alleged slayer of
Deputy Fred Baker, had fled from
the house when he heard the ex
change of eliots. Miller was reported
as badly wounded.
Rate yesterday afternoon officers
and pussemen brought to West I’alm
Beach men and women alleged to
have been connected with the Ashley
gang. Those placed In Jail here were
Laura Upthegrove, Wesley Mobley,
father of Hanford Moflley; Mrs. Wes
ley Mobley, Mary Ashley Mobley,
wife of Hanford Mobley; Mrs. Joe
Ashley, Daisy Ashley, Leota Ashley
and her Infant, and a 3 yedr-old Mob
ley child.
John Ashley, according to records
at the state prison, lias a long crimi
nal record In Florida. He was tried
on a charge of killing an Indian 12
years ago, hut was never convicted.
Rain foil practically all night,
rendering the bloodhounds useless as
an old in the search. Through sloughs
waist deep, torn by briars and
palmetto barbs, men continued the
search.
Daylight blotted out the rays of
light that shone against the sky from
the burning home of Wesley Mobley
and the grocery store of Albert Mil
ler, which were fired last night by
residents of an Indignant neighbor
hood determined to wipe out the habi
tations of the notorious Ashley gang.

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 10.—Brig
adier General Smedley Butler's much
heralded ‘‘war on viep and crime In
Philadelphia, crashed head-on Into
its first political opposition today.
Magistrate Edward P. Carney, po
litical “buddy” of Mayor W. Free

By International Sews Service
Philadelphia, Jan. 10.—Up before
dawn today, General Butler. Phila
delphia's new director of public safe
ty, marshalled Ids forces for a final
drive In his war on vice and crime.
"Have Philadelphia cleaned up by
3:30 o'clock this afternoon or hand
me your resignation,” he informed
police district lieutenants over the
telephone.
General Butler commented on the
"raids" he staged on his own police
stations last night. He said:
"The police In this town must
think I’m as much a damn fool as
must of them are. tVith the greatest
vice drive ever staged here, supposed
to he in full force. I found station
after station that hail not made a
single raid In 43 hours; discovered
policemen asleep at their posts; others
playing cards, or listening to radio
concerts. No wonder Philadelphia is
a morally rotten town.'*
