That means a determined effort to .
prevent approval by the Senate. Sen- j

day Season
Promising- to be the most elaborate,
brilliant and enjoyable social event
of the holidays and of the? early win
ter season is the American Legion
dance to be held ,at Knott's ware
house Monday, December 21, from
9:30 to 2 o'clock.
Music for this momentous occasion
will be furnished by Weede Meyer's
12 piece orchestra of Himtington, W.
Va., every member of which is an ex
pert musician, the soloist and chorus
es being especial features of its pro
gram. A number of novel stunts per
formed by this organization will add
much to the merriment of the even
ing. It is one of the most popular
orchestras of the South and has met
with great favor in Eastern Carolina.
The decoration committee of the
American Legion is planning to make
the dance section of the large ware
house a marvel of beauty, using the
Christmas colors and decorative mo
itfs, with a huge Christmas tree over
shadowing all. A moon will give the
picturesque effect for the enjoyable
moonlight waltzes, and favors will
be most attractive.

Roachdale, Ind., Dec. 16.?A gang
wing the same tactics employed by
he James boys came into this town
>f 900 inhabitants early today and
?obbed the Roachdale Bank of $4,503
n cash and negotiable securities.
To guard against outside interrup
;ion, the gang cut telephone and tel
egraph cables. A switch in the local
>ower plant was also pulled, making
t possible -for the robbery to be com
nitted in darkness. The robbers used
hree or lour charges of nitroglycer
n in, blasting open the bank vault.
Having looted the bank the rob
>er band departed, leaving no clues.
The bandits encountered little ,op
>osition. Ed Grantham, a merchant,
Lo'eep in the rear of his- store near
ho bank, heard the explosions. Gran
ham grabbed a rifle, stepped out
side and fired two shots at a man
?ho was patrolling the street in front
if the bank A return fire came from
i revolver and a shotgun and the
nerchant retreated.
The only townspeople who came
nto co^act with the bandits were F.
Jarvis, railroad station agent;
diss'Pauline Smith, 17 year old tele
>hone operator and Miss Smith's 7
rear old sister, Margerie.
Three of the robbers grabbed Jar-j

us' cap down over his face and es

hey cut the telegraph wires. He then
was taken to the town power plant
vhere a fourth man was waiting,
fhis man threw the switch that put
:he town in darkness. . . 1
The station agent*-then was taken
;o the telephone office. He and the
Smith girls crouched in the * room
vhite the building shook from the

Jarvis said there were, at least six
men in the ""bandit gang bhtfhe be

After the gang left Jarvis found

moned aid from nearby cities.
The gang's methods were similar
in many respects to those employed

Washington, Dec. 16.?Congres
sional activity today was as varied as
the hundreds of legislators them
selves, and again the moratorium
provided the excitement
Before the Senate and House com 1
mittees, the administration's argu- i
ment for early*, ratification of the 1
debt holiday were elaborated. But ]
the headlines were written on the 1
House floor, where one Republican t
accused another, of falsehood for bav- i
ing said President Hoover contrived c
the moratorium to rob the American
people. c
It was Representative Eeedy, of b
Maine, who arraigned McFadden, of t
Pennsylvania, listening silently seat- r
ed nearby. Numerous Republicans
rose applauding.' t
There whs none of this intensitv in t
the short Senate meeting. Two more t
ballots, making 19 in all, failed to set- d
tie the dispute oyer Senator Moses f
as president pro tern. No debating v
on it; just a quiet repetition of votes, r
The Western Republican Indepen- r
dents, whom ^enator Moses once
termed the "Sobs of the Wild Jack- o
ass," gave their. 13 votes to Senator t)
Hobart, of Rhoie Island, a Republi- e
can regular, onMhe eighteenth and u
nineteenth ballots. h
But the 32 iRepublicans voting e
stood by Moses and the 42 Democrats fi
answering the call again lined up sol
idly behind Pitthym, of Nevada, and "
no election resulted. A majority is
necessary. ] g
Before getting to the balloting, the I
Senate did debate for an hour the
only bill that has reached its calendar
from the committees, the Walcott
measure for protection of wild life. It
was laid aside without action after
opposition to some provisions de
veloped.
The independents opposing re-elec- v
tion of Moses were reported tonight
to have sent word to the Republican
leadership they would vote for any
other Republican candidate. Howev
er, Senator Watson, of Indiana, is
standing by Hosts. - \\
Election of*? Democrat see ma to be N
the only way- out unless Moses is i*
allowed to continue by default, with- di
out any election. w
Adjournment was taken until to
morrow after the nineteenth ballot. 11
So far, not one word of debate over di
the issues involved in this personal vi
controversy has been uttered. lo
Likelihood of a decision this session
on the .World Court diminished." tl
The foreign relations committee tl
pigeonholed the adherence question cl
until "pressing domestic matters are st
disposed of," as Chairman Borah put c<
it. He opposes joining the court. s<
The committee recommended Sen- in
ate adoption of the Johnson resolu- oj
tion demanding the official corre- w
spondence on the Manchurian trou- p<
bles. ol
Not until after Christmas does the r<
Democratic policy committee expect r<
to agree on a legislative program.
Speaker Garner said the next few ci
days will be too busy with immediate C
matters. ? ' ii
House Republicans against prohibi- it
tion selected Representative Beck, a
Pennsylvania, to lead them. They m
numbered 64. Heretofore head of a tl

"If the thinkers of the Republican a
party believe we can accomplish more t<
by working along party lines, that's o:
all right with me." w

House Ways and Means committee, cl
seconded, yesterday's testimony 6y a
Under Secretary Mills, of the Treas- o;
ury, that the moratorium was a fruit- di
ful emergency measure warranting &
quick endorsement. Mills, meanwhile,
emphatically contended to the Senate
finance committee that rejection of
the debt suspension would wreak S
damage.
Twenty-five Pennsylvania Republi
cans rebuked their colleague McFad
den by getting together and voting ti
as one in approval of the moratorium. t<
He was unswerved by that as well E
as by Beedy's subsequent attack. t]
All day long the House galleries o

he spoke informally to the club

marks Mr. Fountain launched into a
discussion of the socalled big busi

ent depression was brought about by
the act of foresight by the business
leaders, and relief would not be forth
ing until the big mergers and com
binations were broken up so as to
give the individual consumer a
chance. He then compared the bus
iness situation to the government,
saying that the same system is be
ing invoked into our government so
as to take away from the individual
voter his right to participate in the
government. He referred specifical
ly to the Brookings Report which if
adopted would make all of the execu
