WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-Repre- sentative Thomas, democrat, of Okla homa. who recently visited Muscle Shoals. declared in a statement today that if the present administration did not adopt a policy by acceptance of the Ford proposition for the ~ispo- sition of Muscle Shoals, Congress should declare against the policy of private exploitation of water power development and should declare in favor of a policy of developing, val uable waterpower sites for the bene- fit of the public.
 The statement follows:
 "As slavery was the concrete is- sues which plunged the states into civil war, in order that the constitu- ton might be construed as to the re- lation of the individual states to the federal government, so Is Muscle Shoals rapidly forming the con- crete issue, the solution of which will shape the policy of the federal gov ernment in regard to the develop ment of water power throughout the United States.
 Tn the event the present admin istration does not adopt a policy by the acceptance of the Ford proposi- ton for the disposition of Muscle Shoals, the Congress should declare against the policy of private exploi- tation of water power development and should declare in favor of poli- cy of acquiring holding, developing and operating valuable water power sites for the use and benefit of the public.

Scientists Successful In Experi-
 ments With Artificial Lights

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-(By Associ- ated Press s)-Scientists announced to- day the successful completion of ex- periments, conducted by the Westing- house Electric Manufacturing com pany, in collaboration with Columbia university, which demonstrated with artificial light they could put flow CTS and vegetables to sleep and awaken them at will, releasing them from the dominance of the sun.
 Hereafter there need be no flower famines on national holidays, such as the reported $2.o00.o0o shortage in the lily crop last Easter day, the eXperl- mentors declared; nor dearth of hot house vegetables because of contlnu- ous sunless days.
 The electric company announced it's findings at the conclusion Cf months of tests in electrically lighted hot houses at Columbia university and at Baldwin, Long Island. There, they assert, they have been able by using electric lights, developing an inten- sity one-fourth that of the suns rays, to make flowers bloom at predeter- mined time. and to mature vegetables in from two to three weeks less time than normally transpires between planting and ripening.

WITNESSES STORIES WEAKEN STOKES CASE
Another Red-Haired Double Of Mil
 lionaire's Wife Introduced

NEW YORK, Oct. 25-Additional witnesses, who have never seen Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes in the apart ment of Edgar T. Wallace--or any where else-filed across the witness stand in the suit of W. E. Stokes. 72-year-old millionaire, for divorce from his young wife.
 As they told their stories, the fragile case built up by Stokes law yers gradually sagged, until counsel defending Mrs. Stokes defense pre- pared to rest their side at any mo- ment.
 Before they do this. however, 1t is likely that both Mrs. Stokes and Wallace will take the stand and swing a final wallop at Stokes charges of indiscretions between tkem.
 Under the auspices of Samuel Unt- ermyer, the defense presented an- other red-haired double of Mrs. Stokes Thursday. in the form of a photograph of a Mrs. Ross, who is now dead. Witnesses had identified this photograph, seen in the home of Thomas H. Brander near Bethel Conn.,, as that of Mrs. Stokes.
 Brander, shown the photograph on the stand, pointed out that while there might be no little resemblance between Mrs. Stokes and the late Mrs. Ross, the picture, long a deco ration of the family fireplace, was that of the latter.

CATHOLICS REPLY
 ID KHAN CHARGES
Issue Is Also Taken By Jews With Statements Made In
 Evans Address

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Replies were issued here today on behalf of the National Catholic Welfare con ference and the executive committee of the Assembly Orthodox Rabbis of America to the address delivered at Dallas. Tex, last night by pr. W. H. Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, outlining the klan's atti- tude toward the Catholics and Jews.
 Father John P. Burke, general sec retary of the Catholic conference, de- clared pr. Evans statement regard ing the Catholics in America had made the issue clear-cut, adding that "it is for Americans to decide wheth- CT they will stand with their coun- try or with the klan."
 Challenging the klan to joint de- bate, Rabbi Simon Glazer, of the Great Synagogue, of New York, de- clared the question at issue was whether Jewish Americans are to be considered Americans, or, according to the klan, whether they must first bsr converted as Americans.
 "The statement reported in today's press as made by WIFI. Evans, im- perial wizard of the Kr, Klux Klan," :" said Father Burke's statement, "re-
 
 klan's intolerance for the negroes. Jews and Catholics. Up to the pres ent, in spite of statements and evil dence to the contrary, the klan has denied that 1t persecuted any of the above named.
 Evans states that to the Catholic heirarchys of the United States the President of the United States Is sub ordinate to the priesthood at Rome that the parochial schools of the country are 8 proof of divided all legiance on the~ part of Catholics He offers no proof of these state ments. He cannot offer proof. They are deliberate, malicious misstate- ments, refuted completely if refuta- tion were needed, by the official declaration of the American bishops on America's entrance into the war; by the thousands of Catholic dead buried overseas; by the fact that the first American officer killed was edu- cated in a Catholic school. and the last American killed was Cathohc priest.
 "The klan, through it's official representative, sets at naught the declaration of independence, the con stitution of the United States ana the constitution of every state in the union. According to the klan the foundation on which OUT country was built, religious and racial tolerance cannot endure"

Two Pennsylvania Senators And
 Other q. o. P. Chiefs Meet

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Friends or Governor Pinchot attached signifi- canoe to a conference Thursday at Secretary Melons office which was attended by the two Pennsylvania senators, Reed and Pepper; William l.. Mellon, Pittsburg banker and nephew of the secretary, and w. Harry Baker, republican state chair man.
 These are all understood to oppose Governor Pinchot for the presiden- tial nomination, and it is believed they discussed plans for sending an uninstructed delegation to the repub- hcan convention next year. Pmchot's s friends intend to put up a fight, however, and the prospects are that the delegation will be split.
 Tt is too early to discuss the question, but reports I have received from practically every county in Pennsylvania make it clear that the Pennsylvania delegation will be in harmony with the recognized repub- lican organization of our state,' Sen ator Reed said. "The delegation will be unpledged to any candidate"
 Pinchot licked the regular organi- zation in the primary when he ran for the gubernatorial nomination in 1922 Now the organization is about to declare war on him as presi- dential aspirant.
