power, such survey costs to be paid
for by electric companies now oper-
ating in the state, will be introduced
next month at the adjourned session
of the Alabama Legislature by Wal
ter Brewer, state senator from JEFF
ferson county.
Monday Mr.. Brewer stated he had
read with intense interest the com
munication from Congressman w. b.
oliver of the Sixth district, in Sun
days Age5H erald, in which Mr.. Oil
YER analysed the hydroelectric stu
alton in the state and sounded a
warning about what developments of
an adverse nature may be unless the
state inaugurates and carries out a
definite policy regarding the great
asset which has been under so much
discussion for the past several years.
Congressman Oliver is pre-emi-
nently correct" Mr.. Brewer said,
"and 1t is with a feeling of surprise
that we realize that what he says
and advocates has not been thought
out and handled long ago. Electric
power developed from the water
ways of the state is one of the
states greatest assets, If not the
greatest; it is our most attractive
inducement for bringing new indus
tries to Alabama and a source of
great wealth"
Provide For Survey.
Mr. Brewer said one of his first
official duties when he attends the
coming meeting of the legislature
will be to offer bill providing for
survey of the used and unused
water-power projects of Alabama,
the provision calling for the creation
of a commission. the expense of the
commi sson and survey to be borne
by hydroelectric power companies
now operating in the state, the funds
being raised by taxation.
LAS Congressman oliver said"
continued Mr.. Brewer. I'VE should
know what we have and what we
are sellir@."
Mr.. Brewer very frankly admitted
that he had learned many things
from Congressman divers state
ment and said he had no doubt that
much of the statement was news to
many others, and, further. that the
only people who have authentic and
full information on the subject now
are the companies manufacturing
electricity in the state.
Mr. Brewer earnestly seconded
Congressman divers advice to the
Alabama public service commission

TAKING CR0C0DILES BY

Scientist Has Exciting Adventures
With Animals In Honduras

CHICAGO, June A. Capturing a
live five-foot crocodile by hand is
real sport" II one cares to take that
risk. Karl P. Schmidt, herpetologist,
asserted today on his return from
Honduras, where he and Leon L.
Walters, taxidermist. collected ami
NAL specimens for the Field museum
Mr.. Schmidt said he didn't intend
to take the crocodile by hand but he
missed shot at the reptile and
rather than let 1t escape he waded
into a mangrove swamp after it.
THE proper way to take a croco-
ollie alive" Mr.. Schmidt explained, Is
to place ones thumb and forefinger
in it's eyes and clasp the animals
snout with the other hand and hold
on tight. But at best, Mr.. Schmidt
said, attempting to capture by hand

The crocodile, Mr.. Schmidt captured
with several others killed by the two
men, some of which measure over

FOREIGN LANGUAGES WIN
Laws Prohibiting Teaching OF Eu

WASHINGTON, June 4.-State
statutes which would prohibit the
teaching or use of foreign languages
below the eight grade were declared
void by the supreme court today as
an unlawful encroachment upon the
rights conferred by the fourteenth
amendment which provides that mo
state shall deprive any person of life,
liberty or property without due pro-
cess of law" Justice Holmes de-
livered a dissenting opinion in which
Justice Sutherland joined.
The question was presented to the
court in cases coming from Iowa.
Nebraska and Ohio. Eighteen other
states, with similar statutes, par
ticipated.
Justice McReynolds. who delivered
the majority opinion, asserted that
the fourteenth amendment without
doubt denotes not merely freedom
from bodily restrain. but also the
right of an individual to contract, to
engage in any of the common oc-
equations Of life. to acquire useful
knowledge, to marry, establish a
home and bring up Children. to wor-
ship God. according to the dictates
Of his own conscience, and generally
to enjoy those privileges long rec
ognized at common law as essential
to the orderly pursuits of happiness
