QUIZ WOftlAN IN MEET HARMONY Bitter Debate Expected to Follow Submission of Report BY JAMES K. MARTINDALE (United Press Staff Correspondent) CHICAGO, April 23 Undercurrent debate over recognition of the prohl bition question as a problem for leg' islative study by the National League of Women Voters forecast division in the ranks of the several hundred state delegates here today for the league's eighth national convention. The controversy probably will not come before the convention for open discussion until later in the week, but already it has gained position as one of the most important questions to be decided. Special Report Discussion of the question will follow the report of a special committee assigned to study the situation and recommend whether or not the league should place it on its program of study. It was apparent that certain delegates wished to avoid the vissue, if possible, to prevent its being brought into open debate.

Mrs. Roscoe Anderson, St. Louis, chairman of the special committee, will make the report. It was requested by the general council meeting at Washington, last April. Informal discussion indicated that Massachusetts delegates would lead the fight to have the plank inserted in the league's program for the next two years.

Other Problems Among the important problems to be discussed are: Study of the proportional representation system of electing public officials. Regulation of public utilities. The present status of the world court and the interpretation of neutrality in international relations. Methods of lessening temporary and seasonal unemployment. Support of proposed changes In the naturalization and immigration laws for the purpose of preventing the separation of alien families and to remove such discriminations between men and women as seem detrimental to the latter.

Incorporation of the study of birth control legislation and child marriages. Adoption of a non-partisan political calendar to be observed by the league in the 1928 presidential campaign.

Fall is expected this week, because of the ao qulttal of Harry F. Sinclair Saturday by the Jury which tried the oil multimillionaire on the same charge. May Wash Slate Owen J. Roberts and Atlee Pom-erene, special government prosecutors in the oil cases, will make a final decision on the question in a few days. They believe now there is little chance of obtaining a conviction in the three criminal cases still pending, and all of them may be dropped.

This would bring to an end the cases resulting from the first Teapot Dome senate investigation. Meantime, however, acting U. S. Attorney Leo A. Rover, prepared for trial the first case resulting from last winter's renewed senate oil inquiry, the indictment of Robert W.

Stewart, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, on a charge of contempt of the senate. Stewart has pleaded not guilty, and his trial before a Jury has been tentatively set for May 21. Qu'z Stewart Tomorrow The senate Teapot Dome committee expects to discuss with Stewart tomorrow evidence tending to Indicate he received one-fourth of the Continental Trading company's myster-ous $3,080,000 Liberty bond profits. Members of the Sinclair jury, which returned its verdict after an hour and .56 minutes of deliberation, were reluctant today to discuss the case, although one of two disclosed that the defense lawyers won the case long before it went to the Jury. The verdict was reached on the third ballot, eight for acquittal and four being uncertain on the first ballot.

Only two were uncertain on the second vote. The Jury was said to feel Sinclair a vidtlm of circumstances, Indicating that the defense's reiteration that "95 per cent of the government's case was against Albert B. Fall and five per cent against Sinclair" made a deep impression. Two Indictments Pending The other two pending oil ments which may be dismissed charge Fall with having received a $100,000 bribe from E. L.

Doheny to whom Fall leased the Elk Hills naval reserve in 1922. and Doheny with giving the same "bribe." These indictments are weak, how ever, because of legal decisions that an official cannot accept a "tribe" to do an unauthorized act. The U. supreme court has held the leases were unauthorized, and has returned the reserves to the nvy. Sinclair and his family have gone to their country home at Rancocas, N.

where Sinclair owns a great cattle and race-horse farm. KILLS HIS WIFE AND SELF AS CLIMAX TO SERIES OF TROUBLES DETROIT, April 23 (UP) As the climax to a series of troubles, Joseph Dzonkiewicz, 42, superintendent until last Thursday of public works in Hamtramck, shot and killed his wife and then committed suicide early today. An argument about the refusal of his wife, Stella, also 42, to return home from a dance with him at 11 :30 p. was the immediate cause of the tragedy, police said. Dzwonkiewicz had been brooding Sr some time, friends said, because a suit filed in circuit court charging him with corrupting workers under him.

The suit charged he had collected $10 a week from an employe for a year, and then discharged the man when the payments were discontinued. Because he belonged to the opposite political faction, Dr. Rudolph G. Tenerowicz, new mayor of Hamtramck, dismissed Dzwonkiewicz last Thursday. AGA DEATH OF BOY WAYNE, April 23 (UP) Mrs.
