Washington, May 24.—An angry
quarrel between Senator Norris, re
publican of Nebraska, chairman of
the senate agriculture committee and
Mrs. E. A. Edmundson of Decatur,
Ain., whom he accused of bringing
blackmail plot against him because
she testified he had kissed a girl at
Muscle Shoals nearly broke up the
committee's hearing today.
Hides Behind Chair
Norris arose from his chair anl
herame so angry that Mrs. Edmund
son .left the witness chair and took
up a position behind it.
“That story of yours is a false
hood,” Norris shouted, his face made
scarlet by the laughter of the other
senators of the committee. “I know
a blackmail plot when I see it. If
you were not a woman this would
not he the end of this.”
"I didn’t kiss that girl,” Norris
added, his words coming in a torrent
that Mrs. Edmondson's protests could
not dam. “She kissed me. Intimations
were given to me that if I did not
favor Henry Ford’s bid for this
Muscles Shoals some sort of a thing
would be hung over my head. 1 guess
this is it.
The incident which Mrs. Edmund
son related occurred during an inspec
tion visit made by Senator Norris
And others.
Remember tlie Barbecue
"Do you remember that fine bar
___ becue we had there, senator?” the
witness asked. ”1 asked you if you
might not favor the Ford offer. You
said ‘possibly.’ You said ‘if I could
kiss one of these pretty girls, maybe
I could be bribed.’ Well, you did kiss
one and you are against the Ford of
fer. It was a betrayal, senator."
The crimson that began to spread
over Norris’ fade indicated the verbal
tempest that was coming.
"Are you nearly finished?” he
asked, with brittle patience. ’ You've
exceeded your time now.”
“Just a minute, senators-" Mrs.
Edmundson began, but he inter
rupted:
“Only a Pleasantry.”
"Mrs. Edmundson, you’ve exceeded
your time now. Besides you’ve exceed
ed all the proprieties and told a false
hood as well.”
Mrs. Edmundson had bepn intro
duced to the committee by a support
er of the Ford offer, Senator Heflin,
democrat, of Alabama whose constit
uent she is.
Norris shoved his chair back and
got up.
“Did Senator Heflin know in ad
vance that you were going to come
here and tell this story?" he shouted.
"Was this fixed- up In advance to
browbeat me? Was it a put up job?”
Why, senator,” said Mrs. Edmund
son, ”1 intended it only as pleasantry
There was nothing put up. I didn't
think it would hurt you so.”
“It's a Holdup.’’
“It was fixed up In advance." Nor
ris repeated. “It’s a holdup. It s
part of a scheme to blackmail me. I
don't care who you are. If you
weren’t a woman this would not end
here.”
Mrs Edmundson retreated to the
end of the room, trying to placate
Norris as she went. She took a seat
among the witnesses. All the mem
bers of the committee tried to make
light of the affair with laughter and
jibes.
Mrs. Edmondson’s previous testi
mony had Irked Norris somewhat.
She was free In her criticism of the
committee and the attitude of the ma

Police Chief Told of Contem

Man Who Committed
Crime.
By International Xrw» Service.
Chicago, May 24.—Chicago police
tonight were engaged in a determined
search for a man who late yesterday
afternoon mailed a typewritten card
to Chief of Police Collins confessing
that he murdered Robert Franks, 13
year-old hoy, and declaring his Inten
tion to take his own life. The card,
contained in a plain envelope, and
hearing the'postmark of a suhpostal
station, was received by the police
chief late today. While not convinced
wholly that the letter is genuine, po
lice nevertheless were on a determined
search for its author, for, it bore two
characteristics peculiar to the letter
received Thursday by the boy's
father, Jacob Franks, In which ran
som of $10,000 was demanded by kid
napers.
First the typewritten card evidently
had been executed on the same port
able typewriter on which the extor
tion letter was written. In the sec
ond place the word kidnaper was
spelled In the same fashion in both
letters—with two p's, as Is the
English custom.

Conference
Tax Report
Is Adopted
Senate Passes Revised Bill by
Vote of 60 to 6; Meas*
lire Now Goes
to House.
Norris One of Dissenters
By GEORGE R. HOLMES.
International >'rwi Staff Correspondent.
Washington, May 24.—While omi
nous rumblings of disapproval con
tinued to emanate today from the
White House and treasury, the senate
today adopted the new 1324 tax re
duction bill.
The vote was SO to 6. displaying an
unanimity that for tbe senate Is un
usual. The non-partisan agreement
on the tax compromise was empha
sized by the fact that 30 republicans
and 30 democrats joined hands In sup
porting the bill.
The six negative votes were cast
by five republicans and one farmer
laborlte—Brookhart of Iowa, Frazier
of North Dakota, Ernest of Kentucky.
Moses of New Hampshire, Norris of
Nebraska, all republicans, and
Magnus Johnson, farmer-laborlte of
Minnesota.
Among the bill's supporters and
disregarding the frank disapproval of
the White House and the treasury
were found such administration sena
tors as Lodge of Massachusetts,
Curtis of Kansas, Rmoot of Utah, and
Heed of Pennsylvania.
Measure fo House.
Their votes merely confirmed the
almost universal opinion st ths
capitol that, should President Cool
Idge yield to Secretary Mellon and
veto the bill, such a veto will he over
ridden by a literally overwhelming
majority.
The h:II will come up In the house
early n--xt week, probably on Mon
day and every Indication pointed to
night to Its adoption by a vote as
large ss that of the senate. 10 to 1.
President Ooolldge Initiated a
series of conferences today with
house members that will continue un
til the hill finally reaches his desk.
Reports that Secretary Mellon
would carry his opposition to the bill
to the point of retiring from the
cabinet should the compromise bill
become law, were discredited at the
treasury today. Such a thought. It
was said, by Mr. Mellon's advisers, Is
far from his mind.
Smoot Submits Reiiort.
Senator Rmoot. republican of Utah,
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee. and ordinarily a staunch ad
ministration supporter, presented the
message soon after the senate met.
He explained its provisions at some
length, and then submitted to general
questioning concerning the com
promise reached between the senate
and house.
Principal opposition to the bill was
expressed with Senator* Brookhart
and Norris, Insurgents. Brookhart
declared the hill was unsatisfactory
to him because it did not tax "war
profiteers enough."
Senator Norris attacked the hill tie
cause his provision for full publicity
of Income tax returns was killed In
conference and there was substituted
for It a provision merely permitting
the secretary of the treasury to make
public the names of taxpayers with
the total amount of thetr payment.
On the other hand, Senator John
son, republican, of California, con
gratulated the conference because
they had wrecked the Mellon plan.
"This Is a just tax reduction," he
said, speaking of the pending hill
"It Is not a Mellon reduction.
It deals generously with those least
able to pay. and this was accomplished
despit* the greatest conspiracy of
propaganda In the history of the
country."

Bt t*«orl*(«1 Prsw.
Springfield, Mass.. May 24.—-The
peace resolution of a special commit
tee accomplished yesterday wasj
adopted I . the Methodist Episcopal
general conference here today.
An amendment was adopted which
demanded that the conscription of
wealth and labor "l*e a counterpart of
any future conscription of human
life" in war.
The organization of a world confer j
ence of churches to fight the evil of
war la proposed.
Avoiding the issuance of the
church’s attitude toward a war in
volving this country, the report dc
dared that continuance of war meant
the suicide of civilization and called,
upon America to lead the way in a
crusade for peace.
"The patriotism of the Methodist
Episcopal church has never been,
challenged,’' the report asserted.
"Neither our motives nor our loyalty
must he Impugned when we insist on
the fulfillment of pledges made to !
the dead and assure our Christian
Ideal for the living. ’
The ballot must »>e us* J o outlaw
war, the report said, and the church
would ele« t to public office men
pledged to secure the entry of this
country into the world court and "a
league" of nations. President
Cool id ge was urged to call a confer
ence for more draettc armament re- >
duct ion by the nations.
For the church peace conference,
the report proposed that the general
conference at this session appoint a
commission of 25, composed of five
bishops. 10 ministers and 10 laymen,
authorized and instructed to call tne
conference.
The conference, sitting as a judicial
body today, denied the constitutional
ity of tlie election of district super*
intendents by the general conference.
The superintendent* are now ap
pointed hy the bishops.
The minority of the Judiciary com
mittee, affirming constitutionality,
was rejected by a vote of 421 to 3*3,
and the majority Report was then
adopted by a large majority.
