which action slaughtered Dunn's
two measures providing for the
election of an auditor and treas

.. . t . Prrme, Sundquist, Ben

'with Dimond, Hess and Dunn op
posing it. The same vote was re

is required.
It now goes to the house where
rough sledding is predicted..
; The house and senate are at
odds over the number of mem

The senate originally passed a res

representatives which the house
cut to three senators and six sen

CRAFT ABLAZE
HAMBURG, March 27, (IP)—
' There is grave fear that the North
German Lloyd Lines new 46.000
. ! ton liner Europa might sink as a
consequence of a fire which rag
i ed in its forequarters.
! Fire tugs were combatting the
| the flames but were ordered to
draw away from the hulk lest the
ship, in capsizing, draw them in
to its vortex.
At 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon
jit was still burning and it had
listed to starboard and rested on
the ground. One theory expressed
was that the fire was caused when
the night watchman threw away
a burning cigarette.
The liner was launched last
August, on the 15th, and was to
have been put into service this
spring.
