HARDING PLAN
IS ACCEPTED
. BY By THE HOUSE
After Voting for Bland Bill
House Reserves Itself, Ac-
cepting Winslow Bill
COMMISSIONS DIFFER
Bland Bill Would Provide for
Representation of Opera
tors and Miners

Washington, Au:. 23.-After first
voting to give prefer ence to the Bland
coal investigation bill, providing for
an investigation commission on which
miners and operators would be repre-
sented the house rules committee re j..
versed itself today and reported out
the Winsiow administration bill for
commission composed entirely of
impartial representatives Of the pub
lie. H.. 49,. .f.r .,
The commission also brought an
open rule, however, which would per-
nit amendment of the Winslow meas
ure to provide for representation b.
miners and operators. By the action
the question whether such represent
tation should be prohibited as insist
ed upon by President Harding Wan
left open.
1, The measure to which preference
had been given was that of Represen-
tative Bland, Republican, Indiana.
which the committee majority voted
to put ahead after its provisions had
been compared with these of the
measure introduced by Chairman
Winslow Of the Interstate Commerce
committee, as a result OF consulta-
tions with the president. The action
upset the plans of house Republican
leaders and failing on a tie vote to
secure reconsideration of the COM
mittee decision they went into hur-
ried conference to draft a new plan
of campaign, with the result that the
administration measure was put
ahead. ~ ..&.
It had been for the purpose of CIV
ing precedence to the Winslow bill
and drawing up special rule to per-
nit it's consideration in the house at
today's session, that the rules COM
mittee was called together. The un-
expected result, in the face of cresi-
dent Harding's desire non-represen-
'tation of the operators and miners
was said to have been credited in
part to a protest from United Mine
Workers officials against creation of
commission from which those d.
rectly connected with the industry
would be barred.

PRICE PLANS TALKED

Washington, Aug. 23.-Alternative
plans for the maintenance Of fair
prices for coal and for its equitable
distribution during the present strike
period were presented to President
Harding today BY Secretary Hoover.

lines of the voluntary machinery op-
Grating under Federal fuel Distribu-

The proposal is understood to pro-
vide for the. creation Of a coal pur-
chasing corporation which would

Saturday. A relative in Kansas City
Kan, had written him that "a
friend" could sell him car cheap.
A stranger came with a practically
new car for which he wanted $500,
then came down to $3.50 and finally
took 5000 and caught the train for
Abilene. 1t was found that the car
had been stolen the day before at
Lawrence. 1t was rented from a
livery and taken while standing at
the Lawrence depot. The owner
came here last night, proved his
ownership and took it home. The
Enterprise man Is out his 5000. The
officers have the name Of the rela-
tive who tipped him Off and expect
to get their man. 1t is supposed
that the thief having sold the Ford
came to Abilene, picked up the
Dodge as soon as it was. dark and
started for Kansas City, evidence
showing that he went east over the
Victory Highway. He lodged the
officers, threw away the medicine
case and other evidence Of owner
ship in the car and made his get

boys and they are becoming quite
proficient In their sport according to
the spectators who have enjoyed the
performances. The boys are James
Childs and the young son Of Frank

The stock In their rodeo consists
Of one COW with small horns, calf
about z months old and two horses
and the show Is held In pasture on
the northeast edge of town. near the
hospital. They first practiced rop-
ing the calf and having marked sue
cess in that line they decided 1t
would be easy to ride 1t too. Their
first attempts resulted In numerous
spills but the little animal is becom-
ing more resigned to his part in the
sport now and Is less vigorous In his
efforts to throw his riders. Some
times both boys get on Mt once. The
incensed mother COW made the first
rides on the calf bit perllous as she
took after the boys. This gave them
suggestion and they followed 1t up
by an attempt at "bulldogging" the
COW. They ride one horse or two as
they deem necessary and jump, one
or both onto the back Of the cow.
They can't threw her as they are
not strong enough and her horns are
short but outside of that their round
up has all the thrills Of profession

DIDN'T KNOW ITS RECORD

thing In Telephone Case

thing In Telephone Case
Secretary Fred COulsOn, secretary
of the United Telephone Company,
has been In Topeka at hearing
called by the State Public Utilities
Commission to Enquire" into the
telephone holdings of the Southwest
ern Bell Telephone Co., Of which the
United Telephone Co. is n part. The
hearing has been heralded for days
in the press as being great move
ment to disclose some hidden facts
about the Southwestern Bell with
the intimation that the Utility Com
mission was bent on exposing
something that would be greatly to
the benefit of the public.
The State Journal tells what hap
pened: Tuesday attorneys for the
Bell company appeared before the
commission. They meekly passed
over few sheets Of typewriter pa
per which constituted an answer.
In brief this answer was to the ef-
feet that the Utilities Commission
itself had authorized all holdings
where competition existed and that
all of the Bell company securities
had been reported. Not only had
they been reported in the last annual
statement which the company filed
with the commission, but they had
been reported regularly each year
since 1914. In order to make the
showing n bit more clear and CON
elusive, attorneys for the telephone
corporation quoted the docket NUM-
bers, chapters and pages of books
Of the commission where all Of the
information might be found"
The annual reports of the com
pany made in accordance with law
to the Commission contained every
information it could ask regarding
the companies finances. The Com.
mission itself had authorized every
issue of stock, every purchase Of ex-
change and had the records in its
hands. Yet it compelled a lot Of eX-
pense in trotting to Topeka to have
the company tell 1t what was in the
Utility record. Apparently either the
SOlH Is 81 uD III ODcI
ations that it does not know what is
in its own records or it Is indulging
in political bunc.
The United Telephone company
through its attorneys also offered as
evidence list of all its holdings,
which were already Of record claim
ing that none are competitive and
showed that all its operations have
been authorized by the commission
which was holding the hearing.
Having been told what its own
records contained, and being shown
that it had authorized all the actions
performed, the commission decided
that maybe toll lines were the
trouble and asked the companies to
file maps showing their toll lines
which ought also to be of record
with the commission or the full in
formation available therein. The
hearing was continued until further
orders and that is probably the end
of it.
