By A I M. Associated Press Staff Writer Washington, Feb. 14 One of the most outspoken and bitter debates over the Supreme Court in recent history swept the Senate today after a warning by Senator Dill, Democrat, Washington, to the court to change its attitude on economic issues. The word "revolution" contributed to the tenseness but Senator Dill denied that he had advocated revolution except at the ballot box. Senator Vaudenburg, Republican, Michigan, defended the judiciary branch of the government--and before long the emphatic expressions of differences brought back into action the leading actors in the fight over confirmation of Charles Evans Hughes as Chief Justice.

Vandenburg Replies The Washington Democrat opened the debate by condemning the Supreme Court for its decisions in late valuation of utilities and for "building up a judicial system of law which is fast bringing economic slavery to the masses people." He put on notice the majority of the Court, naming Chief Justice Hughes, Van Devanter, Butler, Sanford and McReynolds, that it is up to them "to say whether the Supreme Court in the future is going to be in politics." Replying with vehemence, Van denberg declared Dill's attack to be "another effort to enforce the judgment of the legislative branch of the government upon the judiciary." "When we undertake to say what type of economic and political mind shall go on the Supreme Court" ton tinned Vandenberg, "then we undertake to make the Constitution subservient to the transient economic and political issues of the day. When the Constitution takes on a transient character and ceases to have its stability, then the Constitution must go and with it goes its guarantees. When that happens the masses of our people will lose more than they can lose in any intervenir.g crisis on economic or political issues." Brookhart Joins Senator Brookhart, Republican, Iowa, joined in the debate to advocate a constitutional amendment restricting the Supreme Court from authority to set aside acts of Con- Police Scandal Stirs Detroit Members of the notorious Purple gang are being diligently sought by the Detroit police department in an effort to determine the validity of charges against Police Inspector Henry J. Garvin, brought by Detectives Roy Pendergrass, lower left, and William DeLisle, lower right. They declare Garvin, upper right, ordered them to change 'a report in which they told of the arrest of five armed men, believed to be members of the gang.

Since the shooting of Garvin by gangsters early in January, there have been charges and counter charges of police co-operation with and double-crossing of gangsters.

The interior, consisting of a single room, was even less attractive than the exterior. The ceiling was of a yellow pine wainscoting which had turned dark with age. With thoce conditions to meet, it was somewhat of a problem how to use the limited funds to the best possible advantage. vestibule. The vestibule has fluted pilasters and in the frieze of the cornice are bronze letters of the name the church.

The changes to the interior are equally pleasing as those of the exterior. The choir is placed in an elevated recess back of the pulpit. Two small rooms, for use of the pastor and choir, are provided on either side of this recess. The auditorium now has a coved plaster ceiling left white. New light fixtures are suspended -from the ceiling beams.

The interior, like the exterior, has been finished in Colonial colors. New pews have also been placed in the church. Drive On Aluminum Tariff Is Planned Walsh Serves Notice That Drive i Be Made To Lower The Duties Washington, Feb. 14, that a drive would be started tomorrow by the Democrats to lower the existing aluminum tariffs was served in the Senate today by Senator Walsh, of Montana, acting minority leader. The announcement came at the end of a session devoted only incidentally to the tariff, which was returned to its preferred status today after several days of debate on the Hughes'nomination to be Chief Justice.

Walsh said he would propose an amendment at the outset to morrow to reduce the present duties of nine cents a pound on sheet, bar and coil aluminum and five cents a pound on the crude product to three and a half and two cents, respectively. The latter were rates in the Underwood act. of 1913. LIFE IN EFFORT Father's Sacrifice for Five Months Old Son in Vain Oklahoma City, Feb. 14, father unhesitatingly risked a slow and painful death in a vain effort to save his baby daughter who died last midnight, the victim of poison given to the five-months-old infant through mistake by finding the child ill early yesterday morning, the mother gave it what she believed was a common remedy, later she found she had administered a dose of deadly acid.

While the mother tried to ease her baby's pain, the father stepped into "another room and hastily swallowed a dose of the poison. Soon he noticed a burning sensation. He waited, while the burning grew more intense, then drank a glass of soda water. When relief came he hastily prepared another portion of the simple remedy, and with, his wife's help gave it to the infant. Soon the child's suffering seemed to diminish, and when a doctor arrived he said the proper antidote had been administered.

The child would have recovered, hospital attendants believed, if a lung congestion had not developed which the baby, weak from the effects of the poison, could not resist.
