GENIUS.

Genius is merely truth we'll told
This truth might take the form Of a
story, song, a painting, scien-
titic work or one of a multitude of
other accomplishments. We too
often associate genius with prodigy,
attrlbuting the former only to those
things and people who are rare in
talent. A work of genius is the re-
suit or example of a great truth.
An author depicts character true to
life and human impulse. His work
is read and accepted by millions OF
people. and while it may be fan
tastic or even mysterious, there is a
CLEAN of truth shining through
which accounts in a great measure
Tor the popularity of his work.
This is genius. A painter makes
you feel the oceans swell, calms
your tired nerves with rustic
scene al eventide. This is genius.
He has written A. truth with his
colors and brush. The musician
has thrilled you with his compost
tions or rendition of his song. He
has reached an ecstacy-a harmony
which is truth. Aud this is
genius. Likewise man who
speaks and lives honorably and
with true character is none the
less genius, though he may re-
main uncrowned in the eyes of the
world.

THRILLING TUG OF
WAR WITH "GATOR"
English Army Officer Has Narrow
Escape From Death.

Crocodiles are extraordinary rep
tiles; men who have had dealings
with them tell almost Incredible
stories about them. AS an example
we quote from the Wide World Mnga-
zine this extract from nm article by
Lieut.. Col. Gordon Casserly:
One afternoon the column halted
by the river as usual and prepared
TO camp. When the men had cleared
the ground and set the pickets they
fell out TO get their food and rest. a
captain, unslinging his empty water
bottle, went to the river TO fill ii.
AT that spot the bank was perhaps
four feet high and rose straight up
II curved in a sharp bend, and the
water close In shore was shallow.
There was no current near the bank
but only few yards out the deep and
mighty stream swept along like
mill race.
The officer kneIt on the bank and,
lowering the bottle by its long strap.
turned his head to speak to sub
hadar (native company commanded
near him. Half dozen sepoys, some
holding their rifles, were standing
close by.
Suddenly out Of the still water un-
der the bank came u mOnstrous head,
and like trout rising to II tiy huge
crocodile snapped at the white mans
outstretched hand. The great jaws
closed on 1t. and in twinkling the
officer was down in the riverl
As he fell the astounded soldiers
gasped in horror. Then without hesi-
tation two or three leaped In after
him. Standing waist deep, they
clutched the captains body and strove
to pull him away from the giant rep
tile, which was backing out into deep
er water.
The Englishman, with his hand In
the crocodile's mouth, was too dazed
to struggle and submitted passively
to be pulled this way and that In the
grim tug Of war. The native officer
snatched rifle from man beside
him and, jumping into the water.
fired at the monster at a yards range.
A sepoy followed his example, but
neither man thought of aiming at the
eyes, and so their shots had no effect
an old crocodile's hide is impenetrable
to bullets except in the throat, the
belly and behind the shoulders.
The weight and strength OF the
brute was too much for the united
efforts of the men. In vain they dug
their heels into the yielding sand and
pulled with all their might and main.
Slowly. relnorselessly, the officer was
drawn farther out; the sepoys cling.
ing to him were dragged with him.
The Fr0iish,nnn seemed doomed

ANTITRUST QUIZ PUSHED
IN THE DAUGHERTY CASE

WASHINGTON. May 2-Explora-
ton of the antitrust policies of the
department of justice during the ad-
ministration of Harry NJ. Daugherty
was continued today by the senate
Daugherty committee.
W. B. Wooden, chief counsel for
the federal trade commission, again
was questioned about charges of
antitrust violations which resulted
from the commissions Investigations
and which were placed before the
justice department but not followed
up i'll the manner recommended by
commission officials.
Senator Wheeler, the committee
prosecutor, said it was possible the
Grossman prohibition case in Chi
cago might be inquired into later in
the day or tomorrow. Former Fed
eral Judge X M Lands has been sub
poenaed to testify in this inquiry.
but he was not present when today's
session began. .
Grossman's conviction, Judge
Lands said. resulted from the testi-
mony of six witnesses who said he
sold whiskey. The court added a
charge of contempt of court. Previ-
Gus witnesses have testified that all
though a sentence to the House of
Correction was imposed. Grossman
was able to forestall actual incarcer-
alton and finally was given executive
clemency by President Coolidge.
Although the judge insisted there
were six witnesses to Grossman' S
derelictions, Senator Wheeler cited a
Department, of Justice representa-
ton to President. Coolidge that but
one witness had testified to the Incl
dent of selling whiskey, which re-
suited in the mans sentence for
contempt.

MUSCLE SHOALS
WIRE IS PROBED
Senate Committee Seeks
Light on Matter from
Ford's Secretary

WASHINGTON. May 2.-The SEN
ate agriculture committee today
sought from f. G.. Liebold, Henry
Ford's private secretary. an explain
alton of kilograms exchanged be-
tween him and James Martin Mil
Ter, who claimed to represent Ford S
weekly newspaper, the Dearborn In
dependent, in Washington.
One telegram obtained by the
committee under subpoena from the
Western Union Telegraph Company
quoted President Coolidge as saying
he was trying to deliver muscle
shoals" to Ford.
Major General c. C. williams,
chief of army ordinance, also was
asked to appear today prepared to
Z testify on the merits of the Hooker
+, White -Atterbury proposal to lease
muscle shoals for fifty years.
A new muscle shoals bill was in
troduced late yesterday by Chair
man Norris of the senate agriculture
committee. The bill provides for
the leasing of the property for forty
years by a corporation capitalized
at ten million dollars to be con-
trolled by five directors. three ap-
pointed by the President and two
by the secretary of agriculture
Fertilizer and power would be
produced and distributed and the
secretary of the treasury would
have the same jurisdiction over the
corporation as he now has over
banks.
Liebold told the committee he did
not known of any telegram having
been sent by President Coolidge to
Ford. He said he had received tele-
grams from Miller but that Miller
did not represent Ford and had vol
unteered information. He did not
pay a great deal of attention to
Miller's kilograms, he added. be-
cause they were 'gossipy" and con-
tanned little real information.
Chairman Norris read telegram
sent by Leibold to Miller asking
Miller to send more information by
telegram and adding that an inter-
view would be arranged with Lei
bold at his Dearborn home. He also
read the telegram sent by Miller
quoting President Coolidge as saying
he was trying to deliver Muscle
Shoals to Ford.
Don't you know that on Decem-
Der 20. 1928. Mr.. Ford had a tele-
gram from the President of the
United States? ," Norris asked.
Il don't know. 1 can't recall now"
Leibold said.
Replying to another question by
the chairman. Liebold said no mes
sage was received about any candi-
dacy for the presidency.
Leibold told the committee that
Ford had never had ANY animosity
toward President Coolidge" and
when Chairman Norris asked the
witness II he regarded "Ford's news
paper article attacking the admins
tration as friendly to Coolidge" he
replied that he would not say So"
Il don't want to subpoena Ford
and l have no unfriendliness toward
him." Chairman Norris remarked. "I
ask you if you will take up with
Ford when you get back and send
to this committee any kilograms he
may have received from any mem
ber of the cabinet"
Leibold agreed. declaring Ford
had no relations with the President
which he wished TO conceal.

of Boy Scout Organization
of This Section

Beginning yesterday the Boy Scout
Council, of this city, will have paid

Carstang, former scout executive of
Bayonne council.
Mr.. Carstang for the past three
years has done splendid work with
the Bayonne council, while for the
past eight years he has been, profess
sionally identified in scout work
Throughout the entire state. The
growth of the local scout organiza-
ton, which takes in troops in Wood
bridge, Colonia, Fords, Carteret and
Keasbey, has become so great during
the past year that 1t was found nee
essary to employ an executive 10 SUI

Instead of the regular custom of

the slogan "a Good Scout will help
a Boy Scout"

gional scout executive, will be in this
