A OUL-WEARYING OUTFIT

Senator Glass of West Virginia NAV
be very delightful individual, but it
must be confessed that he is also a
trifle peculiar. When the senator be-
comes involved in a discussion all he
asks is that he be allowed to do all the
talking. When he goes into fight all
he wants is that the other party should
stand still while the senator pounds his
face. Naturally, man of such tenn
permanent is due to suffer some disap-
pointments in this world.
Recently Senator Glass delivered a
speech in Washington in the course
of which he. made strong criticism of
the letter recently sent to the Senate
by President Coolidge protesting against
the senatorial investigation of the pri-
vate affairs of Secretary Mellon. "Thc
Senate is charged" declared Senator
Glass, with the creation of a condition
subversive of the most sacred guaranty
of the Constitution" and he then pro-
ceeded to arraign the President for sug-
gesting such a possibility.
The Senate has been guilty of just
that sort of conduct. What is more,
it has been guilty of political persecu-
ton under the name of Investigations
in manner contrary to all instincts of
fair play and according to methods that
would not be tolerated for five minutes
in any Justice court in America. Since
the commencement Of the various in
vestigations now in progress, the Sen
ate has steadily gone down in public
opinion and contempt for the body is
rapidly increasing.
The investigations which Senator
Glass says were started in an effort to
uncover crime and punish criminals were
begun in no such spirit and had their
commencement in no such idea. They
were begun for political purposes and
for none other. Everybody knows that
Both parties have been guilty of the dis
gushing business, it is true, but it is
the Senate as whole that must shoulder
the burden of public disapproval.
The Senate raised hue and cry
against Secretary DENLY, but it was
never able to show that he was any

EARTHQUAKES AS CONSTRUCTION AID Costs Also Increase in Hawaii
 Because of Dangers

Hilo Island of Hawaii, July 22.--
 associated along the lines of human
 economic welfare with the earthquake
 danger on the Pacific coast, and the territory is region where it is flec- essary to employ special building con- struction as safeguard, it was stat. ed here by Roy H. Finch, assistant volcanologist at the Kilauea observa- tory, in connection with the recent unusual activity at the Halemaumau firepit of Kilauea.
 Tt is true," he explained. "that the Hawaiian group is not connected in- timately with the earthquake lines which border the Pacific ocean. Still, I, so far as the island of Hawaii is con- cerned, 1t had. shaking quake in 1868 which was destructive to buildings over radius of miles. On several occasions quakes have oc- cured under the ocean west of Maui or Molokai which were felt not only on those two islands. but on Oahu and Hawaii.
 "It is quite possible that such slips occur along fault of appreciable length, and larger movement, cas- fly possible, might cause shock that Honolulu.
 'The possibility of a movement of small land masses anywhere in the Hawaiian islands probably will be ad- n1itted by nearly every one. In most such cases, no doubt. the movement would be superficial and the resulting earthquake perceptible or destructive over a very small area. A recent ex- ample of such phenomena is that at Kapoho on this island. A block of land three miles long and nearly one mile wide was in motion, and a por- ton of 1t, at least, dropped from six to eight feet. The movement of this block was accompanied by numerous quakes that caused only slight dam- age Individuality. Their total effects were to separate one part of a build- ing from another. leaving them at different levels; to drop a portion of a railroad track eight feet and to cause great Assures in the roads and rails. Such a movement certainly would destroy water and gas mains"
 "As pointed out, world shaking quakes have occurred on the south west side of Hawaii If the possibili- ties of the movements of large land masses are to be considered it might | be we'll to look at the northeast side | of the island. If we are to assume | the possibility of superficial move- ments on any of the islands, certainly | we must include the slope to the pla- teau in the ocean bottom from which they arise.
 Let us suppose slight break or iginating a short distance under the ocean floor. say 10000 feet below the sea level in the deep northeast of MauSa Loa. Such break would be felt for only shcrt distance, per haps.
 Suppose again such a break were to occur at the same depth below sea levei at point 20 or 30 miles nearer the summit of Mauna Kea. or where the elevation is 10000 feet. Clearly

FEAR US. COMPETITION
German Auto Manufacturers Fear In- Aux of American Machines After Embargoes Expire.


 Leipsic, July 22.--German autono- bile manufacturers are much worried over the prospects of American com- petition. Certa.l embargoes upon the importation of foreign cars are about to expire, after which nothing but a customs tariff will stand in the way of a flood of American autos.
 German manufacturers recognize that they can only hope to meet American competition if they unite and simplify production. Thus far there has been a tendency for every auto engineer coming up from the ranks to set up for himself as soon as his funds permitted, and to devise a car slightly different from existing types. The result has been that mass production is unknown in Germany.
 As first step toward concentra- tion and centralization the two largest automobile manufacturers in Ger many, Daimler and Benz, have pooled their interests and entered into an which approaches stand

ZIMMERMAN MAKES
APPEAL TO CATHOLICS

Fred r. Zimmerman, speaking
here Monday morning in behalf of
his candidacy for reelection as
secretary of state, spent most of his
time in verbally "handshaking" the
Catholic members of his audience.
This, of course, was a political ges-
ture to offset the sentiment that had
been aroused when a clerk of Catho-
lie faith in his office was discharged.
Had Mr.. Zimmerman, in referring
to that incident, merely insisted that
the young man was discharged as in
competent in his position and not for
religious reasons, the statement
would have been much more impress
sive than the Secretary's all too
transparent political gloss.
Mr.. Zimmerman says: at is con-
sidered very improper for members
of any church to inject their religion
into public and private affairs for
personal purposes" Yet this is
just what Mr.. Zimmerman did here
Monday, and no doubt the Catholics
resented it as much or more than
anyone.
The Secretary took it upon him
self to name the national, district
and county winners, but was careful
not to align himself in the guberna-
torial race. He wants the La Fol-
lette label, 50 he named La Toilette
for president. In picking" district
and county favorites he aroused ma
tural resentment against any
stranger coming into local territory
and attempting to dictate a choice

sharp improvement today, bulk of
this contingent being cleaned up

Feeders sold in load lots up to $500,
the rank and file turning between
$3.50 and $6.25. Packers efforts to
enforce lower values on killing clas-
ses were largely unsuccessful, dry
fed material being very scarce and
feeder buyers taking large share of
grass offerings. Best fed beeves
topped at $3.50, with a part load of
grass fat steers realising $500,
numerous loads scoring $3.50 to
$3.50. Grass cows and heifers found
an outlet at 1925 to $500, Gamers
and cutters $3.50 to $4.25. Vealers
with 25 to SOC slump, were weighed
at $3.50 to 5000 mostly.
An increase in hog receipts here
and at other markets, furnished
packers with basis for reducing
costs, the average decline being

few loads of sorted lights, big bulk
