Gov. Horner is to depart tomorrow afternoon on the convention special, which will carry both Kelly-Nash and Horner delegates, alternates, and friends. Farley May Make Peace.

Ides told that the big party meeting was only a few days away. With a siren blowing motorcycle police escort leading the way James A. Farley, chairman of the national committee, drew up, to the Bellevue-Stratford, spent a few minutes joshing with newspaper correspondents, and then established himself in sumptuous headquarters.

W. Forbes Morgan, secretary of the national committee, arrived with the chairman and was located near by. Charles Michelson, chief of the national committee's publicity star, was located next door. New Deal headquarters were complete. Grand total $10,069.710,521 The 74th congress, in first session ended nearly a year ago, passed appropriations of $9,579,756,510.

age payments in the five states was about $100. $274,130 to California. In California, which also has never been considered a corn-hog state, nine more large operators got a total of $274,130, one operator, Fontana Farms Company, taking $155,575. In New Jersey the Jersey feed farms got $48,752. In the same state a contracting company, the Riddle Contracting Company, is listed as having received $14,720 for killing little pigs or plowing under corn land.

The highest tobacco check went to the American Sumatra Tobacco company, which got $41,454 under the 1934 program. The Clarence Le Bus estate in Kentucky got $19,976 in the same year. The biggest rice payment under the 1933 program went to the Louisiana Irrigation and Mill company at $73,659. A payment of $64,799 went to the Acadia Vermillion Rice Irrigation company. More than two dozen companies in Louisiana, Arkansas, California, and Texas got more than $10,000.

123 BILLS SENT TO ROOSEVELT FOR FINAL O. K. Has 10 Days to Decide After Congress Quits. TWO HELD THIRD SOUGHT IN $10 000 BOND FRAUD QUIZ The filing of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus before Chief Justice Denis J. Normoyle in Criminal court yesterday disclosed that the state's attorney's office has two men in custody and is seeking a third in an investigation of a forged bond fraud.

Meyer Goldstein, 40 years old, 4429 North Lawndale avenue, is the man for whom the writ was filed. It was made returnable today. First Assistant State's Attorney Wilbert F. Crowley admitted that Goldstein had been in custody for several days, but refused to disclose the identities of the second man held and the third sought. Goldstein, identified as the head of a wholesale tailoring company, was arrested when he offered as collateral for a $7,000 bank loan $10,000 in forged bonds of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, Crowley said.

Goldstein denied knowing the bonds were spurious, but is being held, Crowley said, because investigators are not satisfied with his stal ements. The second man in custody is reported to be an ex-bootlegger. IChiengo Tribune Press Service. Washington, D. June Roosevelt had before him today 123 bills passed by a congress speeding toward adjournment.

The great majority of the bills are unimportant relief measures. In the batch, however, is the 2 billion 400 million dollar deficiency bill which carries 1 billion 425 million dollars for continuance of WPA and the Robinson-Patman bill for the tightening of anti-trust laws which would bar unfair price discriminations through use of faked discounts and rebates. The bill is known as the anti-chain store bill. 1- 7' 747,7 -T Senators Bennett C. Clark Mo.

and Homer T. Bone his assistants in the filibuster, and the conservative Democrats are not expected to talk more than a few hours on the tax bill. However, there remains the threat of the filibuster on the Guffey coal bill. The Day's Activities. While the senate was waiting for a possible break in the filibuster, developments in the adjournment drive included: 1.

The house passed and sent to conference a modified version of the Copeland-'rugwell food and drug bill. The principal difference is that the senate measure gives Secretary of Agriculture Wallace dictatorial powers over the advertisment of foods, drugs, and cosmetics, while the house bill retains control of advertising in the federal trade commission. 2. The senate passed the new composite ship subsidy bill, providing for both construction and operating subsidies based upon the difference between costs at home and abroad. The house promptly refused to pass it as amended.

3. The house killed the Ramspeck bill designed to perpetuate the jobs of New Deal postmasters by blanketing them under the civil service. The measure died for lack of the necessary two-thirds vote under a suspension of the rules. House Passes NRA Bill. 4.

The house passed and sent to the White House the Walsh-Healy bill requiring NRA wage and hour standards on all government contracts. 5. The house passed and sent to the White House a senate bill prohibiting the transportation of strike breakers from state to state. 6. The senate adopted and sent to the White House a conference report on the George bill permitting PVVA low cost housing projects to pay 5 per cent of gross rent receipts in lieu of taxes.

7. The senate ratified a long pending treaty governing standards of safety at sea, after Senator Robert La Follette Radical, Wis. was satisfied that it in no way contravened the seamen's act. The ship subsidy bill. a composite sponsored by Senators Royal S.

Copeland N. Y.1, Ernest W. Gibson and Joseph F. Guffey differs substantially from the measure passed by the house last 3-ear, but that body was expected to concur without a conference. Word was received from the White House that no conference was desired.

Senator Hugo L. Black of Alabama, the New Deal's No. 1 inquisitor and mail contract wrecker, was leading the filibuster against the treasurypostolfice conference report, but his strategy was designed merely to delay action until the house accepted the senate amendments to the ship subsidy bill. This the house refused to do tonight by a 11S to 83 standing vote. The filibuster against the New Guffey-Vinson coal bill gave administration leaders far more concern, for Senator Borah of Idaho.

arch foe of price fixing and monopolies, said he would speak indebnitly." A unanimous consent request by Senator Matthew M. Neely W. Va. to call up the bill for consideration was blocked by his col. league, Senator Holt, who also declared that he Would filibuster the bill as long as he could stand on his feet.

Minority Rakes Measure. The conference report on the tax bill, which graduates the existing corporation income tax structure from 8 to 15 per cent and superimposes graduated undistributed earnings taxes reaching a maximum of 27 per cent, was severely indicted in a minority conference report hied by two Democratic senators, George and Walsh. The minority report says the conference report retains the entire plan of the house bill, which the senate finance committee rejected unanimously, and superimposes it upon the existing corporation income tax structure; that it is a merger of two bills which in tax theory are diametrically opposite. "It cannot be too often reiterated, nor too strongly emphasized, that the theory and concept e7 a tax on a sliding scale on undistributed corporate earnings is to penalize the accumulation of corporate surpluses and reserves," the report states. We submit that such a policy Is contrary to every dictate of prudence, contrary to every sound business principle, contrary to the experience of the past, inimical to the real welfare of the stockholders, and will tend to promote insecurity for the work Form "Stilts rurpose." In the report the large checks were given under states by crops and years.

Under the manner of presentation no effort was made to give the totals by crops and by years or even by states. At the AAA office it was said ambiguously that the form of presentation was not adopted because it was confusing, but because it suited their purposes. The report substantiated in every particular the charges made by Senator Vandenberg at the time he demanded support of his resolution. The senator first asked for a report on all payments above $10,000 and when he met with evasion, presented his resolution, which a adopted late in April after prolonged partisan debate when Wallace exerted every political effort to conceal the list. 0 0000 0 0 0 0 0000 0 0 SEIISAT on ,,.:1 0 ailor 111111iN, 0 0 4011 0 0 0 0 0 0- 0 '71 0 sb dlOPF 0 A till 1144 ,1 1111 it LIKE A ell.4,11-tirlori illk-iiilti, 1..:.1 1 1 --si 4' 1.tAik 1 i 7 4,1 Ill 6 iliW'30 '1, 01 .27 1 I 1 EILI 0 A 1100,1 4 5 l' 11 ir' 4 1: 1.4 1 (Ell 3,,,,,, tiitilA Miga i iLiiikl.

It is a spendthrift policy." Senator Arthur H.

Vandenberg speaking on the senate floor, denounced the tax measure as "the latest and the worst of the serial assaults that are being made on thrift and prudence, at a moment when these old fashioned 'horse and buggy' virtues are prerequisite to the restoration of the national character and equilibrium." "This is a blind and sinister speculation in the rights and resources of 125 million people," Senator Vandenberg added. Short and Heated Debate. The debate on the tax bill was acrimonious but short, since only one hour's discussion was allowed. Representative Allen T. Treadway Mass.

declared that not a single member of congress knew what was in the conference report and yet the members were being asked to vote on it. "The Democrats are more interested in preparing for their obituary services at the Philadelphia convention next week than they are in writing a tax bill," shouted Treadway. "There never was a tax bill prepared like this one in this country or any other." Representative Samuel B. Felten-gill Ind. asserted that under the bill corporations with $10,000 net income would pay 61 per cent higher taxes and concerns with $20,000 would pay 100 per cent more than under existing rates.

Dividends from Workers. "You are forcing I he little corporations to make distributions to their stockholders instead of their workers," declared Pettinglit. "At the same time you are asking business to put men back to work." The bill was described as a Hungarian goulash, a pot pourri" of surtaxes, normal taxes, excise taxes, and tarifs by Representative Frank Crowther N. Y.1. "This is the fifth tax bill under I his administration," said Crowther.

"Under the NRA bill there were taxes. Then the nuisance taxes were continued and the 3 cent postage stamp extended. In 1934 we had the so-called loophole tax, in 1935 the soak the rich' tax, and now in 1936 we have the a soak the corporation' tax. "You know these new taxes won't balance the budget, but you don't dare to go into this next campaign without making a political gesture." Farley in Blue Room. Punsters found material for obvious remarks when the breezily Optimistic Farley was established in the Blue room, and a troublesome political issue was translated into wisecracks when it was observed that the Gold room had been reserved for Michelson.

Downstairs and In other hotels the lobbies were beginning to teem with convention crowds, although the peak of the influx was not expected until Sunday. Delegates, newspaper men, and political camp followers stood in groups renewing old acquaintanceships, discussing campaign prospects, and worrying about tickets to the convention, an absorbing topic for all arrivals. Expect Smooth Sailing. Confident in their control of the situation, party leaders foresaw little difficulty in smoothly obtaining adoption of their program, calling first of all for the renomination of President Roosevelt and Vice President Garner, abrogation of the traditional two-thirds nominating rule, and the adoption of a New Deal platform. There were possibilities of a mild fight against dropping the two-thirds rule, emanating principally from the south, but party leaders counted an easy majority.

With the two-thirds rule another old standby, a rule under which some state delegations cast their votes as a unit, was expected ter go, attended by some objections. Senator Robert Wagner of New York, who will be the chairman of the platform committee, has been assembling suggestions for a week or more. Some thought a disagreement might develop over the monetary plank. Wagner was expected in town Sunday. Hall Is Completed.

At the convention hall a regiment of Philadelphia police was assembled receiving assignments for the convention. Engineers were busy adjusting the loud speaker system and painters were spreading gray-green and white paint upon the newly completed platform, stage boxes, and press work benches. A special police guard was established over the vital units of the speech amplification system to prevent tampering, playful or malicious. S. S.

Theodore Roosevelt to Start Trips Tomorrow The S. S. Theodore Roosevelt will open the excursion season tomorrow, beginning daily trips across Lake Michigan between Chicago, St. Joseph and South Haven. Sailing time from Chicago has been advanced from 10 to 9 a.

m. to allow for the stop at South Haven, which is to have lake service for the first time in several years. The ship will carry automobiles, and will make the crossing to St. Joseph in three and a half hours. Ten Days to Act.

The White House teemed with activity as the staf examined the bills and presented recommendations to the President. Mr. Roosevelt is expected to act on the bills before he goes to Philadelphia to accept the Democratic nomination in a speech June 27. He has ten days after adjournment of congress in which to sign or veto the bills. In the morning Mr.

Roosevelt had his semi-weekly press conference which consisted chiefly of negative answers to questions put to him. He cut his appointments down in order to devote himself to the work put befoie him by congress. Confers on Money Plank. In the afternoon he discussed the financial plank of the Democratic convention with Bernard Baruch, New York financier. Mr.

Baruch refused to say any more about his visit than that it embraced discussion of he wording of the Democratic money plank. He said he would not attend ti convention as he plans to leave fcr Europe June 24. "There is no news in my visit," he said, except my gout. I am going to Europe to attend to my BONUS CASH RUSH ENDS STATIONS CLOSE TONIGHT Nearly 60 per cent of the approximately 100,000 veterans in and Cicero who have received bonuses delivered by the Chicago post-office have certified their bonds for cashing, Postmaster Ernest J. Eructgen said yesterday.

Of the 103,034 bonus packages received here for veterans served by the Chicago postoffice, 96 per cent have been delivered.
