Signal defeat for the advocates of
State control of hydro-electric power
development and triumph for the

of waterway improvements, were the
features of the congress. The report

HOWELL CLOSES
LOAN CONCERN
CONTINUED from First Pnge.)


from the books kept by the officers.
These books were obtained recently
on the pretext of securing an ac-
counting.
In the complaint 1t is further
charged that the secretary and treas
urer were permitted to act without
filing bonds; that the federal COR
poration tax reports were not filed.
and in consequence the association
fined $35 by the government. Another
allegation is that the concern carried
on a banking business. which it was
not entitled to do.
The complainant charges that the
officers depleted the assets of the
shareholders by voting themselves
excessive salaries and by carrying on
their business by making loans where
favoritism and friendship were more
evident than the welfare of the
shareholders.
The bill shows that the present book
liabilities OF the association are $14,-
1913, while the assets aggregate $12,-
1928. making an apparent deficit of
$I.3S5.
Field, the complainant, asserts that
the deficit is in reality much greater
than the books show. as much of the
alleged assets consist of worthless
notes. Sixty per cent. of those notes
are said to be invalid.

ISOLATION. and Nathan Pallant, vice.
president, were seen today. Mr.. Elm

held by the association. He contended
that all the money due on these notes
could be collected, if the holders were
given sufficient time. He denied that
the secretary and treasurer were al
lowed to act without giving bonds.
Both officers have personal bonds of
$4,000 each, declared Mr.. Elm.
The president also said that at a
recent meeting of the shareholders It
was voted unanimously to prohibit all
members from withdrawing any
money for a period of three months,
the collection to be continued in that
time SO as to allow the officers to
catch up with the drain on their
funds. A committee of thirteen share
holders was appointed to cooperate
with the officers and work out a plan
TO the general effect described In the
resolution.
Harmony did not prevail among lile
members of the committee, 1t is said,
and the three months extension plan
was abandoned. At one meeting there
was a heavy run on the association
''bank" or funds, and at that meeting
the officers exercised their right to de-
mand a notice of sixty days before a
withdrawal could be made.
ST am confident that the officers and
shareholders of this association will
come out of the present muddle in ex-
cellent shape" declared Mr.. Elm. at
is the unknowing and easily Influenced
element among the members who have
brought on the present trouble. If
they had waited and allowed the Off
GERS to carry on their attempts to re-
habilitate the association they would
now be practically assured of getting
dollar for dollar instead of the doubt
full aspect presented by this present
action.
81 would prefer to wait until the
matter is threshed out in Chancery
Court next Tuesday before making
any further statement other than a
general denial of the charges as UNI
true and absurd"

Needle Attack Theory Is
Rejected by Official OF
New York Health Board

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The atten-
ton of members of the New York
department of public health has been
called to the case in Newark, in
which Mrs. Marjorie Graft. of Brook
Ign. was attacked on the hand with
needle supposed to be tipped with
some narcotic.
DR.. Charles F. Bolduan, assistant
to the general medical officer of the
department of health, said 1t was al
most impossible in his opinion, for a
person, unless asleep, or willing, to
be given a hypodermic injection
"At the touch of the needle" said
DR.. Bolduan, ''the tody would be re-
fiexly withdrawn Such action would
prevent the injection.
IF morphine, hyocine or scopola-
mine were used hypodermically," de-
clared Dr. Bolduan. 1.-THE effect would
be felt in about fifteen minutes, and
the person would by that time be
asleep"
DIR. John Mandel, of Bellevue, de-
clared that to cause any noticeable
effect uDon person with choral
horse syringe would have to be used
The use of morphine, he declared,
would be the quickest means of stu
pefying a person.
intendent of the bureau of investiga-
ton of the department of justice, was
asked whether his experience in the
governments fight against traffick-
ing in women he had heard of any
cases in which the victims were
made unconscious by a quick hypo-
dermic injection in the arm. Mr.
Offiey said he had never heard of
such case. G. e. Craft, his assist
ant, said he had heard such stories,
but put little faith in them.
James B. Reynolds, of the Ameri-
can Vigilance Association, 1855 Fifth
avenue, which investigates abduction
and similar cases, professed himself
skeptical of the truth of the drugged
needle hypothesis as being the cause
of Mrs. CRAFTS collapse. Mr.. Reyn-
olds, who until recently had charge
of the complaint department in the
district attorneys office, had heard
of a similar instance to that of the
young Brooklyn woman, but had been
unable to satisfy himself that poison
administered in a needle or hypoder-
mic had been the direct cause Of ILL
ness.

oURNATloNAL"HAL OF FAME

The New York World notes that
'the inclusion of a statue of Senator
Zach Chandler in Sta;uary Hall at
the capitol occurs at a time when
Lieutenant Governor ingalls, is making
efforts to have the Kansas legislature
require congress to remove the effigy
of his father, Senator John J. ingalls,,
from its place there and return II to
the state. Mr.. Ingalls, bases his action
on the diminished reverence for and
humorous public comment on the
national sanctuary
Apparently they are less sensitive
about such things in Michigan. But
could it nationally have been supposed
that the American sense of humor
would take seriously a national hall
of fame established on these condi-
tons? II is proper for the various
states to fill the corridors OF congress
with statues OF senators who have
represented them there, and of their
other public men. But the effigies of
'favorite sons duly certified by state
. legislatures do not wholly make a
national sanctuary
The American public has its popu-
lar idols and is lavish enough of af-
lection for them. But it objects TO
having them ticketed or certificated.
il does not sympathize with the no.
ton OF official Pantheons and Valhal-
las. and even views with a certain de-
gree of mirth the occasiona, projects

o. directors.
There are statues in Statuary hall
TO Americans whose deeds have in
spired a reverence that grows with
time. But that reverence does not
necessarily extend TO the collective
. groups OF statuary. It is not a salts
factory representative collection, and
as respects artistic execution It can
a hardly be regarded as q sanctuary, of
national sculpture"

broker then let chunk Of thunder
and bolt of lightning out of clear
sky, when he said that the real sensa-
ton, not heretofore published was a
forgery Of no less than $50, 900 on
the books of the Union Pacific. He
asserted that this forgery had formed
the foundation for the fortune of the
late E. H. Hartman, and the house
OF Kuhn, Loeb & Company, and prac.
tically cleaned out his friend James

the disclosures of Col Mulhall, who
merely told in intimate detail what
everybody knew by common report.

known Wall street man and has had
close relations with the great million,

his present name is not his real name

captains as are still alive must be

REVELATIONS TO BE SURE.

Marvellous things are coming out in
connection with the Investigation re-.
suliing from President Wilson's
charges that an insidious lobby is do
ing business at Washington. A Union
Pacific official has asserted that he
had been called by telephone by per.
sons representing themselves to be
congressman and had been told how
TO square the administration by EN-
ploying a certain high priced lawyer
who used TO be connected in a bust
ness way with the inner circle, but
lost cast with Morgan on account OF
flirtations with opposition interests.
Last week there appeared before the
committee a widely known Wall street
broker who calmly admitted that he
had impersonated the congressman
over the phone, and said he did II
purely from friendly interest in the
lawyer in question, who had lost his
pull with the holy Of holes by rea.
son Of having befriended the witness
and the late James R. Keene and
others, and that he hoped by the little
telephone play to restore the lawyer
