ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Feb. 5.— (HE) — A city-state argument over which authority must pay for a 15,000 new coat of paint for the $600,000 free bridge over the Missouri river here today resulted in a practical joker hoisting a Siamese flag over the structure.
The flag-raiser, who said his name was John Smith, alias Sir Basil-Worthington- Worthington, insisted he was going to claim the bridge for King Prajadhi-pok by “squatter’s rights.”
City and state cooperated In erecting the big structure but to date have been unable to agree as to which must foot the paint bill.
“Sir Basil” said he planned to dismantale the structure and send it across the the Pacific as a token for King Prajad-hipok to give his motherin-law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—<U.E>— | Quick action is expected from the senate judiciary committee I when it meets tomorrow to consider dismissing David S. Barry, senate sergeant-at-arms.
Barry is under suspension for writing an article in “New Outlook,” a magazine edited by Alfred E. Smith, in which he charged some congressmen and senators took bribes and “that they were well known.”
The sergeant-at-arm.< has refused to comment since the senate j haled him to the bar Friday and tried him in a proceedings without precedent. At that time he admitted writing the article, but said he did it with the purpose of “defending the senate.”
At the head of the judiciary committee, to which the case was referred pending the ouster | vote at 4 p.m. Tuesday, is Sen-
ator Norris, Rep., Neb. Norris personally opposed referring the case to his committee, believing Barry should have been evicted immediately after he was tried.
The Nebraska senator, a persistent and effective cross examiner, forced Barry to admit he knew no members of congress who had taken money in return for their votes. Norris* motion for immediate dismissal of Barry was rejected by the senate and the case referred to his committee.
Walsh said the purpose of his motion was to have the two prosecutors study the evidence in an attempt to learn whether there was any basis for bringing a libel suit. Such a suit presumably would be brought against both Barry and the publisher of the “New Outlook,” which has its headquarters in New York City.

Farmers’ Stand Forces Debate In Legislatures
CHICAGO, Feb. 5. — <ILB> — The widespread farmers rebellion a-gainst mortgage foreclosures and tax sales echoed last week through the halls of many state capitols where more than 6,000 legislators debated these and scores of other subjects.
Almost every legislature in the country considered some sort of tax increase or tax reduction measure. Foreclosures, forced into the limelight by the farmers’ uprising, became a major topic in New York, Texas, Iowa, Arkansas, Idaho, and Indiana.
Could the oratory heard in more than 30 capitols have been loosed at once, only tbe few most used words could have been distinguished :
“Foreclosures, mortgages, taxes, economy, consolidation, relief, emergency, moratorium, banks, prohibition, hard times, nepotism.”
Legislators also debated “naughty” motion pictures, gasoline bootleggers, lethal gas executions, marriage law's and scores of other topics, but a majority of the talk was aimed toward reduction of voters’ financial burdens.

New quotations on the autograph market, compiled today by the New York Daily News show Garbo leading at $25 while Babe Ruth and Fannie Hurst can only produce 25 cents worth of autograph value with their pens.
Charlie Chaplin and Marlene Dietrich are quoted at $10 each. Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Constance Bennett, Norma Shearer, and Andrew Johnson each are worth $3.50 to autograph dealers, which is 50 cents more than the
