Professor Right,

ForTestingTheory

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
81 MOSCOW, August PA scientific
experiment conducted by a young
third year student at the Moscow
Technical Institute to determine the
accuracy of his professors theories
has brought the youth a sentence of
four years in solitary confinement
The case, which has just ended
caused sensation in Russia for
several days. The student, after abb
SorbtnG classroom theories on magne-
tism, purchased a spool of wire and
walked out into the country. where he
attached a stone to one end of the
Wire and threw ii across an electric
feeder line. Satisfied by the fire
works that the theory was correct.
he retuned home and went to bed.
The next morning eight factories
were compelled to close for lack of
power. Linesmen patrolled 80 miles
of the high tension line before the
break was discovered.
The court in passing sentence said
he was making the punishment un-
usually severe because of similar
prankS which had been played in
other parts of the country. Drastic
action was needed, the court felt, to
impress youths with the seriousness
of economic sabotage.

playful and kind and bantam deer.
a dainty little animal that is only
seven inches high at maturity.
A bird of gay plumage that hangs

POSTAL PROBERS

CHICAGO, August 22-The first
assault on the first class rate since
the postal congressional committee
opened its Investigations In the East
last month went into the record on
the fourth day of the sessions here.
The general trend Of today's testi-
mony by several witnesses represent
ing large business concerns In various
parts of the country, was that the
Government was losing business be
cause it sought more Post Office De-
partment money through increa Sed
rates rather than by fostering bust
ness and waiting lor the natural AN
nual increase TO supply the needed
funds.
The committee stouIly defended the
franking privilege. As Il means of
preventing Il postal deficit, Carroll RI.
Sutler, vice president OF Chicago
lithoSraphlng company. suggested that
each governmental department he
charged the actual rate for matter
sent free. The committee pointed out
that the Senators and Representatives
in Congress used the mails without
charge only to the extent of $685.. 900
year, slightly more than l per cent
of the business of the Post Office De-
partment.
G. W. Delaney of Clinton. Iowa. rep
resentinS machinery manufacturing
and lumber interests. urged that each
post office department he made self
sustaining.

AMNESTY UNLIKELY
FOR DUO D'ORLEANS
Pretender to French Throne Wins
Sympathy in Paris by Plea
From Exile.
By the Associated Press.

by Ife Associated Press.
PARIS, August 22.-There is little
likelihood that the present French
Parliament will take action to revoke
the law of 1886 exiling the heads of
all the families which reigned over
France.
Nevertheless, II letter in which the
Duke of Orleans, pretender to the
French throne, vo'"ed his sorrow re-
Gently at the thought of his 40 years
of exile, and protested the injustice
OF allowing common malefactors to
recross the frontier under amnesty
while h. is ineXorably barred by the
sheer accident of birth, has struck a
responsive chord, even in ultra-repub-
lican circles.
Everybody is agreed that the situa-
ton is anomalous. Nobody seems to
doubt Duke Phillips high minded
patriotism, but as he makes it clear
that he will not purchase the priv
ilige of again stepping on French soil
by formal abdication of his rights. a
dilemma is created for the govern
ment.
The Duke is now 56 years old and
spends most of his time in England,
although he is fond of exploration
and big game hunting. Only the
really rabid doctrinaire Republicans
believe his return would in any way
endanGer the present regime.
Some go so far rs to say that his
continuance in exile is one of the
main sources of strength of the
French Royalist party, and that If
his highness were allowed to return
he might prove a powerful force in
moderating the zeal of his followers.

The writer then described some ex-

1t may be an open question
