SENATOR WATSON
THREATENS TO HIT
OFFICER IN FACE
Says Major InSuIted Him BY
His LookS-ConfuSion Pre-
walls at Session of InveS-
tigating Committee
BY Associated Press

Washington. December g.
Threats by Senator Watson, demo-
crat, Georgia, to slap the face of an
army officer sitting within touch of
his elbow threw the meeting of the
Senate committee investigating
charges that American soldiers had
been illegally hanged in France into
an uproar today and brought quick
demand from Chairman Brandegee
for q sergeant-at-arms to prevent
any physical clash,
For a moment the utmost confusion
prevailed. Above the din of shuffling
feet as some women hurried toward
the door, the voice of the chairman,
in strident tones, commanded the
Georgia senator TO sit down or retire
from the room. Banging the table
with bare knuckles, the chairman
soon restored a semblance of order,
but there were many heated ex-
changes before the meeting broke up
until tomorrow afternoon.
Major George w. Cocheu. attached
to the general staff. was the officer
on whom Senator Watson launched
his verbal attack. 1t happened near
the close of a brief, but turbulent
meeting at which Senator Watson,s
charge that the committee at Sc
cret session had prejudiced the case.
was characterized by Senator Shields.
democrat, Tennessee, a member OF the
committee, as Untrue and wholly
without foundation"
The senator's attack on Major Co
cheu hit the committee like crack
of lightning. There had been no in
timation that anything of the kind
was impending. Major Codeu, sitting
next to Col. Walter Bethel, General
Pershing's Judge advocate general in
France. had not testified, and his
friends said later was present in his
official capacity as chief of the legis-
lative branch of the general staff.
Suddenly swinging on his feet
and shaking his right hand within
two feet of the majors face, the
senator, his voice pitched high, ex-
claimed that, For two pennies I'd
slap your jaws"
The officer did not bat an eye.
Protect OFFICER
Instantly Chairman Srandegee was
on his feet, calling for sergeant
alarms to protect the officer from
IAN insult" Then declaring that he
himself had been insalted, Senator
Watson announced that he would re-
tire from the meeting.
Taking hold of the situation, SEN
ator Shield declared the committee
desired to proceed in order and sug-
gested to Senator Watson that he
had not been insulted.
we expect you TO conduct your
self here in the same manner you
want others to conduct themselves
toward you," said Senator Shields.
An insult can be given by looks"
Senator Watson shot back, wheeling
quickly again to face the officer. IF

She is believed to be in Riga with
the intention of seeking permission

ICE CREAM FACTORY TO
BE OPENED AT ONCE

While Inspecting the buildings be-
ing remodoied. we dropped into the
Ice cream factory of Smith g. Son to
make inquiry as to when they will
commence manufacturing ice cream
for the public. We found they have
gone to several hundred dollars ea-
pense to install new ico cream tanks.
and we understand on account OF the
prohibitivc power rate, they have
been compelled to install their crude
oil engine. which will furnish Inc
power to make the ice cream. A
Denver man has been inspecting the
plant.
The Ice plant aad the Ice cream
factory are very essential Industries
to Holyoke. and we would hate to
see either business curtailed for lack
of power. Smith a Son will com.
mence operating their Ice cream fac:
tory ut once. as the demands for their
cream are becoming numerous.

tions that have been made in regard
to power rates, wish to make this
statement to the people. During the
month Of December 1919, we began
remodeling and enlarging our Ice.
cold storage and creamery plants. At
that time we took the matter Of
power rates up with as many mem.
bers OF the Town Council as we
could and received the assurance
that we would receive rates so we
could afford to use electric power.
With that assurance we purchased
a twenty, a twenty-five and ten
horsepower motor. Later in the
summer we purchased another
twenty horsepower motor. Things
then dragged along with us oontinu-
ALLY asking the council for rates,
until finally six months later. on May
/, 1920, the board passed a rate to
be effective until there could be q
proper test made and proper rate
made. We continued to pay our
power charges until July 1920. Our
power charge for July 1920 was
$763.40 and for August 1920 was
$S61.00. which were absolutely out Of
reason. We offered to pay the Town
Council $4,000 for each Of these two
months, which they felt was rea-
sonable charge, and they accepted 1t.
But this was contrary to the rules Of
the public utilities commission and
on complaint was returned to us by
the Town Clerk.
The council, realizing during Aug
ust that the rates charged were ex-
cessive. employed Mr.. C. l.. Flowers.
engineer Tor the public utilities com.
mission, to make proper test and re-
concentrations for the proper rates.
Owing TO the continued illness of Mr.
Flowers son he was unable to act.
and the matter continued to so until
finally. during January. 1921. we ask
ed the council to make rate In keep
ing with other towns close and oper-
a,ing under the same conditions. The
rate asked for was: First 100 XVIII.
S cents; next 100 XVIII. cents;
next 500 XVIII. cents: next 1000
XVII. 4 cents; all above, 2 cents.
The rate made the city assured of
$500 per month before any mater
lal reduction was made. The coun-
ell passed this recommendation and
two members took II to Denver to
submit to the public utilities commits.
sion. The commission recommended
TO them that they employ a consult
ing engineer TO Investigate the facts
for them. Accordingly. the council
employed Mr.. Durbin Van Law to
make such investigations and recon-
mend such rates as he deemed advls-
able.
The state herald., 1921-04-01
SOME FACTS AND FIGURES

His report is now In the hands OF
the Town Council at the clerks ofice,
and open for investigation. We have
at no time asked the council to do
anything except what from the facts
available from other towns we felt
that they could reasonably do. The
following are some Of the rates ON
which we felt we were entitled to
ask for reductions: Fort Morgan, Colo
RADIO, motors over S h. p.-flrst 10
XVIII. s cents, next SO XVIII. s cents.

100 XVIII, 8 cents, next 100 XVIII, 6

500 XVIII. 8 cents: Yuma, Colorado
first 20 XVIII, 1Oc, next, 20 XVIII,
3 cents, next 20 XVIII. cents, next
20 XVIII, 4 cents, all over. SC.
We have never asked the council
to raise anyone's rates that they may
supply power to US cheaper. The en-.
gineer that they employed made a re.
commendation that only increases the
smallest user and materially decreas.
es the larger users. The residence
rates are much lower than previous
ly and are very attractive to usera
who desire to use ranges. The busi.
ness houses are lower than hereto.
fore. DO not be misled by state>
ments not based on the facts. These
recommendations are open for your
inspection at the clerks office.
So far as VIC are concerned we
used during the year 1920 for power,
s3.192.30, while the combined users
Of power did not use as much. The
following are some OF the other fig.
ures: Holyoke Mill, $642.sO; Behn.
feldt Motor. s369SO; Miles Imple-
ment. $29556: Garland Auto. s272.7l:
others less amounts.
Considering that three months IL
the ice cream season. over 100000
per month for power is prohibitive.
We also paid the town $6609O for
lights during the year 1920. more
than 100000 more than any other
user.
The city needs all users they can
get on the lines. We have tried to
use electric power from them but
tn. rates are still prohibitive and we
must find other power. Unless rates
are made to approach very close to
what we have asked, we will be forced
to withdraw with G5 horsepower OF
demand from the city lines. This win
do more harm than anything that
they could have done to the efficiency
Of the plant. We invite the consid-
GRAFTON of the people to these facts
and ask their immediate eonsidera.

This is case wherein Young leased.

of Ellison, situated on Roam creek. Ap-
parently both parties were foilures as
ranchmen, and very soon trouble arose,
which was magnified as time went on.
The case was quite complicated be-
cause of the various items and inter
