IN HOUSE
Wisconsin Congressman Will
Succeed OiIIett as
"Grandday"
By LLOYD LEHRBAS,
International News Service.

Congressman Henry Allen Cooper,
of the First district Of Wisconsin,
will become the "granddad" of the
next session of the House, as a re-
suit of the political turn Of events
In Massachusetts, which sent Con-
gresham Frederick H. Gillett to
the Senate.
Gnlett, Speaker Of the House in
the last session, represented the
Second district of Massachusetts,
and its 225,974 inhabitants for six
teen continuous terms of Congress,
beginning with his election in 1892.
In the recent primaries he was
nominated to oppose Senator David
/. Walsh, the Democratic incum-
bent, and was elected. Mr. Gillett
began serving as a lawmaker in
the same year that the oldest mem
Der of the last Senate, the late
Henry Cabot Lodge, also of Mass
achusetts, entered the Senate.
Congressman Cooper, who rep.
resents the 26S,334 people in the
First district Of Wisconsin, lives
in Racine, where he practiced law
before being elected to Congress.
He has since served fifteen terms,
not continuously, however, as he
was defeated for the Sixty-sixth
session and reelected at the next
election.
Other Old.Timers.
There are a number of other
"old-timers" In the House at pres
ent, indicating that they have rem.
dered satisfactory service to their
constituents. Thomas S. Butler, of
West Chester, Pa, has come to
Washington for fourteen continuous
terms, and William S. Greene, of
Fall River, Mass, has been here
for thirteen sessions. Gilbert N.
Haugen, Of Northwood, has been
sent to Washington thirteen times
by the home folks" out in Iowa.
and Edward w. Pou,. of Smithfield,
N. c., feels at home here, after
twelve terms. julius Kahn, of San

OOIlIAuueO IRON PIrSL EaSeJ
Electric Power Company as. ST.
231, 170.43.
This announcement was made on
December 81, 1916, the valuation
being as of July l, 1914.
On the basis Of this valuation the
commission found, after inquiry
that the 10-cent per /kilowatt hour
electric rate was unjust, unfair and
unreasonable to the public. Accord.
ingly in January, 1917, an order
was issued reducing these rates to
cents per kilowatt hour.
Unwilling to submit to a 20 per
cent slashing of its rates, which
were In effect before the commits
sion was established, the electric
company appealed to the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia.
Two Suits Filed.
Two suits were filed.
In one suit, the company de-
clared that the valuation of ST..
231, 170.40 was erroneous, and that
the valuation should be 1925, 1897,
more than twice the commission 5
valuation.
One OF the chief arguments of
the company was that the commits.
sion erred in not considering a
sharp rise in costs between July l,
1914, and December 81, 1916. (The
world war began during this
period.)
In another suit, the company
asked for an injunction restraining
the Public Utilities Commission
from enforcing the new Scent rule.
The Supreme Court granted the
Injunction pending disposition Of
the valuation suit.
The court decreed, however, that
the company must after collecting
10 cents per kilowatt hour impound
the difference between the Scent
rate established by the commission.
Argued Before Gould.
The case was argued before the
late Justice Gould. He had the
case under advisement for two
years.
His decision upheld every conten.
ton of the utilities commission, he
declaring the valuation of $11,2S1..
170.43 was just, fair and reason.
able to the electric company.
An appeal was Immediately taken
10 the Court of Appeals which heard
arguments.
This court reversed Justice
Gould's opinion, holding that the
commission erred in not considering
the sharp rises in costs during
July 1, 1914, and December 81, 1916
From this decision, the Public
Utilities Commission appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
This court, after hearing argu
ments, in the spring of 1923 denied
the appeal, declaring it had nc
Jurisdiction in the matter. The
case went back to the Appellate
Court.

Barber Who Shaves

Nv INTERNATIONAL News Service.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-At the
age of eighty-four Charles How
lett still continues to be official
royal barber to Dowager Queen
Alexandra's household at Sun
dringham.
He was the first barber to
trim King Georges beard, and
since then has shaved or cut
the hair of almost every i'm

It is his proud boast that his
hand is still as steady as when
he first took up barbering.
He has carefully kept a col

royal person that he has at
tended.

An interesting story concerning
Congressman William q. Hulls re
cent visit to New York, where
he spoke in behalf of President
Coolidge, Is going the rounds in
Washington's chatty circles. The
Illinois Congressman, after max
ing an extended trip through the
West, was billed to appear in New
York as a 'stalwart supporter Of
the President from the West"
Feeling that Illinois-Peoria, tc
be exact-was not quite far enough
West to be designated as one OF
the places where "handshakes are
firmer, snow is winter" ETC., etc.
Mr.. Hull dashed around the cor
ner just before he spoke anC
bought a nice new undermined
Stetson hat.
When he walked down the aisle
still wearing his brand of the
West pulled down over his brow
he fulfilled to the letter the popular
characterization of a man from
the great open spaces.
Congressman Hull will have tC
add several inches more to the
width of the brim before he
can hope to compare with Post
ever. The Postmaster General, be
ing a denizen OF that wild and
woolly State of Indiana, wears q
big cowboy hat with a floppy rim
that would make the Prince OF
Wales famous soft shelled cady
look like a starched shirt-front
When that hat goes walking down
the street or floating through the
corridors of Washington's public
buildings there is no doubt as
to who is under it! =

POLES LOOKING
FOR WAR WITH
RUSSIA
BY FLORIAN SOKOLOW.
international News Service.

WARSAW, Dec. 27.-Revolutior-
airy outbreaks similar to the recent
unsuccessful Communist uprising
in Esthonia are feared in Eastern
Poland at any time. Polish from
tier guards on the Russian border
engage in sporadic fighting with
well-equipped flying columns of Tn
SurrectioniSts who come, apparently,
from Soviet Russia.
More than 100000 White Rus
SLAMS and Ukranians, who inhabit
the district, oppose Polish rule over
them, fact which complexities the
problem OF patrolling the border.
Most Of the local population regard
the brigands who make incursion
into Polish territory as NATIONAL
heroes fighting for the freedom OF
the country against imposed Polish
rule.
Martial Law Discussed.
Appointment of military COVER
nors with extraordinary powers has
failed to put down the unrest. The
question of martial law for the
border districts will be discussed
shortly in the Polish Diet.
Soviet propaganda, which 10 even
more pronounced since the rebuff
administered to the SovietS by the
British conservative government,
has been responsible for keeping
the revolutionary spirit alive. The
propaganda falls on fertile ground,
for the Ukranians and White Rus.
SLAMS, who comprise the bulk Of the
population of the doubtful districts,
differ from the Poles in both
language and religion, ard consider
the Poles only temporary occupants
of their country.
The possibility Of armed conflict
between Poland and Soviet Russia
to settle the status of the inhabi-
tants Of the border districts Ia gen.
orally realized by Polish leaders.
Soviet Russia regards herself as
high protector Of the Slavic ma
tional minorities in Poland.
Spread Almost Certain.
A Polish-Soviet war could hardly
be localized. It would draw in at
least the Sother states carved out
Of former Western Russia after the
war and might lead to a more
general conflagration.
Poland cannot disarm while her
neighbors are in arms from tip to
toe." War Minister Sikorslxi de-
clared in the Diet. 1.-THE Soviets,
during the last six months, have
raised fifteen new infantry divi-
sions In addition to the old sixty
two divisions. The Soviets have
an air fleet of 100 squadrons
which they are increasing daily.
Russian factories in the last few
months have constructed fifty air.
planes. In addition the Soviets
have purchased 1000 airplanes from

RICE
Millions of Bushels of Cereal
Used Yearly IN Making
National Drink
By LUTHER A. HUSTON,
international News serViee.

TOKYO, Dec. 27.--lThe drinking
public of Japan is about to be
asked to slake its thirst with
synthetic sake.
Sake, OF course, is the national
drink Of Nippon. 1t il a pale-look
ing, .pale-tasting beverage which
hitherto has been derived chiefly
from rice. Millions of bushels of
rice are used annually in it's pro.
duction and Japan has been forces
to buy rice in foreign markets to
feed its people and supply enough
for the sake distilleries.
Now Doctor Umetaro Suzuki, Of
the Governments Agricultural Re
search Laboratories, has concocted
sake that is made without rice.
Arrangements have been made 20
produce q large quantity, which
will be tried out on devotees u the
drink throughout Japan. If il be
comes popular a tremendous gaT
ing in the nations drink bill =

Ferments In Month.
The outstanding merits of the
new process are claimed to be that
it ferments in a month, as agains
year required by the regulation
sake: that 1t can be produced and
sold nearly 200 per cent cheape-
than the present drink and that il
can be kept for far longer period
without deterioration. AS to 3rag
rance and taste, Doctor Suzuki
claims, not even the most educated
palate or nose can detect the diff
ference.
AUIi.n ohs~a s.--~5;n.N. - ~a0.n -
Doctor Suzuki said, "are alcohol,
water, albuminoids and doctrines.
There are thirty different kinds Of
Japanese sake to give it color and
taste.
1--WE have been able to produce
which, if it finds favor with the
public, will greatly decrease the
amount of rice required each year
to make the drink. If large-scale
production is undertaken it viii

Test Is-PIanned.
A few hundred gallons of the
new product will be distributed
soon to retailers to permit the
public to test it. Doctor Suzuki ID
