Farm Measures Assured Washington, Nov. 3D.—With the breach between the regular and in surgent republican organization still further widened, the HStli congress, which already has established a rec ord as the most turbulent in the na Hon> history, will reconvene tomor row for its short and final session. In the three months intervening before March 4, efforts will be made to put through some important gen eral legislation in addition to the annual appropriation bills, but with little apparent prospect of success. The key to the whole situation still is held by the insurgents, whose recognized leader. Senator La Toi lette of Wisconsin, and his three chief supporters in the senate, have been read out of the party councils by senate republicans. Whether they will undertake reprisals for this ac lion remains to he developed. Fight Will Be Pressed. One thing is certain, the last chap ter on this subject lias not yet been written. Senators who have disagreed with this action of their republican colleagues intend to express their views when the senate is called upon to act on the report of the repub . lican committee on committees cov * ering the new assignments to stand ing committees to fill vacancies caused by the death of several sena tors during the last six months. I Leaders of the house republicans have no present intention of follow ing the lead of the senate organiza tion by reading out of their councils Representative John M. Nelson of Wisconsin and others who supported Senator Li Follette in his campaign as the independent candidate for the presidency. There Is no occasion for the calling of a conference of house ptpM republicans as there was of the sen- j ate organization which was required to elect a new leader to succeed the late Henry Cabot Lodge. Likewise, there is no occasion for the democrats of the senate to meet in party conference and some of the minority leaders have stated that no"" would be called solely to con sider the ouestlon of reading out of the party Senator T,a Fol’ette's run * nlng mate. Senator Burton K., Wheeler, democrat, Montana. Opening Session to Be Brlef. The opening sessions tomorrow of both the house and senate will be brief. New members elected or ap pointed to succeed those who have died sitiufe last May, will be sworn in and committees will be named to in w form the president that the congress is ready to receive communications from him. Then resolution* will lie adopted on the death of members and immediate adjournment will l>e taken out of respect to their memor ies. There will is* little activity in either house until after receipt of 1‘resident Coolidges second annual message, which, under present plans, will be transmitted by messenger on Wednesday and read in the house and senate by their respective clerks. Karly attention will be given by the house to the annual supply measures, the first of which, that for the In terior department, probahly will be re ported out Tuesday. The appropria tions committee lias the work on a W number of others well under way and ♦ Chairman Madden hopes to get them all out before the first of the new year. Agreed On Nped of Farm Aid. While the house is thus engaged, the senate, under plans'of the ma jority leaders, will take up such gen eral legislation as the steering com mittee shall deem of the first impor tance. Admittedly, however, this plan Is purely tentative and might easily be altered if the democrats and Insur gents desire to do so. Farm aid legislation Is ony thing k that leaders in both houses are anx » loua to )iut through, but early action is not in prospect os congress prob ably will desire to await the report of tlie farm commission appointed by (I’lirn to I'lur Two.

S, WRECKAGE UPON EASTERN COAST Cuttyhunk, Mass., Nov. 30.—Wreck age, evidence of possible tragedy, which overtook some vessel in the storm which swept the New England coast early today, was washed ashore near the Cuttyhunk coast guard sta tion this morning. The wreckage, consisting chiefly of portions of a pilot have and deck house, might hive come from a boat which was the victim of a collision rather than the storm, it was said. Germany to Pick * New Reichstag: O' Interest Flags ' ll lot Total Expected to Fall Far Short of Record Set Last May—No Domi nant Issue. By Associated Cress. Berlin, Nov, 30.—Germany next Sunday will elect a new reiehstag. While the eight major parties and non partisan and unatached groups have qualified fo" entry on the ofi* rial ballot, the campaign thus tar has. wholly failed to evoke the same measure of popular interest that brought out 20,000,000 votes last May. The political leaders anticipated that there will be a falling off of several million votes next Sunday, as compared with the balloting last May, and a reduction of the number of deputies in the new reiehstag by at least 30. as the proportional system of voting allots one mandate to every 30,000 votes. No Lively Slogan. The prevailing inerta is largely horn of popular disgust with German party”politics and incompetent reich stagers, and, whereas, the Dawes plan was the cardinal Issue in the May elections, the present campaign has wholly failed to produce a slogan ■calculated to rouse the voters out of their lethargy. The three liberal parties—socialists, clericals and democrats—are making the issue one of democratic principles by appealing to the voters to stand by the republic and the Weimar con stituion. They also are making an effective bid for votes on the plea that he government's course in ac cepting the London agreement has been amply vindicated in the pro gressive improvement in the nation's economies since September 1, and that any deviation from present poli cies, both with respect to tho gov ernment's Internal and foreign pro -ram, not only would incur a re ; udeseence of economic convulsions, hut constitute and faith with respect to German s reparation obligations as dictated by the London agreement. Hack L'p DaweV Plan. The heavy gains In mandates scored by the nationalists and communists last May, and the advent In the rpich stag of General Ludendorffs faselsti party with 30 deputies, primarily were the result of the widespread social unrest growing out of the era of in flation. As these parties prosper only by fishing in troubled waters, their prospect of maintaining their present number of seats in the retell stag has measureably depreciated through tlie advent in Germany of sound currency and the resultant benefits of a visible betterment in so cial and economic eonditionif Tho process of Illuminating Voters and urging them to 'leas»■ sveli enough alone.” also has liberally bene fited through the steady flow of American loans and credits which, despite occasional caustic references as to rates of interest charged by the American bankers, has definitely impressed the popular mind In Ger many with the sincerity of the Ameri can desire and determination to V'S''*4 up I he Dawes plan In a practical manner.

Machine Is Complicated By 1.01 IS \V. KKHK. 1‘nlvers-il Service Stuff f'orresp n.lent. New York, Nov. 30.—In a crowded room at No. 6ti Broad street, experts of the Radio Corporation of America today gave a public demonstration of the art of receiving pictures across the Atlantic ocean. It was almost uncanny to see a fountain pen pluck from the air and record on a cylinder no bfgger than a, baking powder can the features of famous faces selected in Marconi House, London. The new wonder was only a few days old. The first picture to come across the Atlantic by wireless was that of President Coolidge received Friday. Yt had been closely followed by that of Secretary of State Hughes. The busy little machine, sitting on a desk senrceely larger than a tea table, seemed too good to he true. Could it really be a fact that from London 4,000 miles away, were be ing sent the lineaments of T’nlted States Ambassador Kellogg taking form right under the eyes of a score of eager watchers'.' The receiving in strument seemed like a printing press, as unromantlc as a sewing machine. Two Pictures At Once. Then the machine stopped while a word message interrupted the half finished picture. A joke about pro hibition wirelessed front newspaper men watching the pictures being sent from Marconi House, London, fol lowed by a question as to the results in New York, ^brought the realiza tion that the marvel was genuine. It brought to the intent group watch ing the the pen tracing the growing picture a vision of another, similar group in far-off London observing the picture being sent. Methodically, tire little machine re volved and turned, the pen moved from side to side and up and down, and in a brief quarter of an hour, an unmistakable likeness of Ambassador Kellogg was apparent. Meanwhile on a concealed cylinder, ravs of light had Imnressed another portrait on a sensitive photographic film, making two oietures received in one trans mission. Many Po««iMlltles. In oifl-'k Bticeesoion, there follow ed portraits of Owen D. Young, Dawes commission expert. Dowager Queen Alexandra of Kngland, the prince of AVales and Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, ns well as photo graphs of the finish of a relay race, and the raising of a sunken steamer in the river Tees. Hen. ,T. fl. Harbord, president of the Radio Corporation of America, declared that under favorable condi tions a picture could be sent in six minutes instead of 20 or more.

Mrs. Maude Robinson. London—Charles Robinson and his pretty blonds wife. Maude, were vindicated Friday by a jury of the charge of complicity in the blackmail of the mysterious eastern potentate, who was trapped with Mrs. Robinson in a Paris hotel. Thus Mrs. Robinson’s sworn statement that she became the eastern princes inamorata because she lo\ed him. and Robinson’* equally formal denial that he planned his wife’s unfaithfulness for gain, were accepted as Ihe truth by 10 men and two women who comprised, the jury hearing the case. The notorious trial came to an end. so far as public hearings are con cerned, when the case went to the jury.

Broken Bow, Neb., Nov. 30.—Infat uation for another woman which could not brook the delay of the di vorce court, may lead Frank Bruner, 47, roundhouse foreman of Sargent, Neb., to the death house of the Ne braska penitentiary. Tonight Bruner, who has been in jail here since Friday, confessed that he poisoned his wife, and named Aro. esta Northey, 47, of Sargent, as his accomplice. The confession came after two day* of questioning, during which Bruner admitted his intimacy with Aroesta Northy, mother of four children, whose husband is 38 year* her senior. She Denies (.barge. In her eell here tonight, where she was placed after Bruner signed a statement admitting his guilt, she de nied that she supplied the poison tab lets which led to Mrs. Bruner's sud den death last Monday.
