iodically since the establishment Of
this Republic, namely as to the rela-
tive power of the executive and leg
islative branches of the Government.
Statements credited to Senators fa-
miliar with constitutional law say
that there is a loophole in the recent
decision of the Supreme Court which
will permit the enactment of legis-
lation designed to overcome the eff
fects of the highest tribunals verdict.
1t will be necessary for the Senators
to make overtures to the House Rep
resentatives in order to pass legis-
lation of this sort las the concurrence
of the lower House is necessary.
There is possibility that the legis-
lation may take the form of amend
ment to the constitution to curtain
the power of the Chief Executive
which many say has become central
lied of late and has been but stressed
by the Supreme Courts decision. Cur
iously enough the decision was made
in the CASE of a removal by President
Wilson of a postmaster, and decision
of the majority of the court was read
by Chief Justice Taft, former Pres
ident of the United States and is laid
down as authority for his successors
and others. Because of the fact that
the court decision stripped the Sen
ate OF considerable power, it is OBJ
vicious that the question will be para
mount in the debates next month.
With interest in the farm situa-
ton in the middle west at low ebb,
the attention of Congress will be di-
rected to Legislation dealing with the
cotton crop of the South. Several
proposals have been drafted for the
Legislative hopper and extensive hear
ings will be held shortly. There is
no doubt that the Southern cotton
farmers are suffering but opinions
differ as to ways and means to rem
edy the situation. The administra-
ton is opposed to centralized control
of the marketing of all crops similar
to the plan used by the British IN
marketing their rubber products. 1t
is known that the Soutern interests
will demand action by Congress Great
ing machinery for minimizing future
depressions in cotton. :,
Although there is some talk OF the
Treasury surplus allowing a tax re-
duction, it is generally agreed that
the tax program will be put off until
next year. T..
The President is preparing a list
of appointments which will be sub
mitted to the Senate Immediately up
on converting. Men who are pecul,,
iarly qualified for high government
positions very frequently refuse the
appointments because of unpleasant
notoriety which results from attempts
to obtain the ISenate's confirmation;
These candidates are usually placed
upon the Senate's gridiron and their
personal and public affairs are SUD
iected to the closest scrutiny and OF
ten their business suffers from mus
representation which creeps into the
debates i'm the Senate. The men VINO
seek the office are not always the
ones of the type wanted by the Ad-
ministration. Altogether it looks IKE
a busy winter for the Congress- and
Federal officials.

AROUND THE TOWN

Washington, Nov. 8. The uncer
tainty as to the outcome of elections
in various states will continue for 6
day or two more but the leaders Of
the major political parties are already
figuring percentages. With political is
sues as varying as the colors in the
rainbow, it is difficult to determine
which was the predominating factor
in the election. The various classes OF
political promoters quite naturally
claim their particular issue won out
for that is how they keep their jobs
and frequently their Imagination
runs away with the facts. When the
final returns are in and the contested
seats in the Senate and House are nc
longer in dispute it will be possible
to give an accurate picture as to une
political complexion of the Seven
tieth Congress which comes into beng
March a, 1927. 49,,
By the end of this week it should be
known definitely just how the Senate
and House control has been place Ell ny
the public. The Democrats should
have won nine seats in the Senate 10
control. 1t will be recalled that "a
out of the 90 seats were contested TOT
ait the elections which are held TINS
week. The Maine elections rsilaln
to be settled. They will be called up
ON to name a successor to the late
Senator Fernald. 1t is generally cor,
coded here that the Republicans WIN

is expected to greatly influence postal

Tames Reed of Missouri Will also

with several men for whom he
worked before the curtain dropped
on the first part OF his life.
He stated that it has been posi-
lively ascertained that he is ma
mist by tvade and that he was
employed as a machinist foreman in
the CHEAT plant of the Goodyear
Rubber company in Akron, Ohio.
He recognized several men at that
plant and several of them recogniz-
ed him as having been employed
there years ago hut beyond that
the puzzle remains as complicated
as before. No QUE knows his real
name or anything about his past
life.
Only last week he had dinner In
Newark, N. j., with a man under
whom he worked in Brooklyn, n.
Y, in 1911. The man knew him
and he knew his former fellow
worker, but his friend. George Will
son, by name, could not remember
him beyond the fact that they had
worked in the same plant. Jerry"
sought to find his name on the pay
rolls, but he learned that they had
been destroyed.
His manner Of speech is distinctly
foreign and many have been the
conjectures advanced as to his ma
tionality. Some have believed him to
to be Italian, while others have ad-

the quality of soils and that some
hens he raised while working on a
farm in California bettered a great
deal the egg-laying record OF sew

passed, will grant special dispen-
sation in his case and allow him to
have those benefits. 1t is expected
that this bill will come before the
present session of congress.
His present life consists of three
heartrendmg years, with now and
then quick flashes from the past
which have sent him out on clues,
some of which have been valuable
while others have led him into blind
alleys. He remembers battles and
movements during the World war,
which would be unknown to any
one who had not taken part in them.
but in 1918 he lost his memory and
from that time until he was picked
up in the streets Of San Francisco
hunting Germans with a bayonet at
tached to a broom handle, treated
and later brought back to normally
at Stockton State hospital in Califor-
mia. Since that time he has spent
a considerable period in hospitals
where he has been treated for
wounds suffered during the war. The
government has granted him medi-
cal aid until he shall once more be-
come fit.
1t has been asceTtained by the
Veterans bureau in its effort to find
out whether or not 'Tarbot" has a
right to compensation, that he was
in hospital in Colorado at one
time during the period 191S-1923.
His present name was given to him
there. According to information Sc
cured at the hospital he was an
Xious for work to do and he was
given the job OF painting a picket
fence. So, armed with a pot of tar
and brush he worked around the
premises and made the Job last for
New Britain herald., 1926-12-10

some time. He became a familiar
figure with the bucket and so he
was called Jerry, The Tar Pot"
which gradually changed to Jerry
| Tarbot"
Jerry" says that he has natural
aversion for some types of people,
especially the pig-headed bullying
kind and, as result, he figures that
| he must have been confined to a
| hospital. asylum or Jail at some time
during the period of darkness, where
| he received brutal treatment, and
that this treatment has made an
ineradicable impression on his sub
conscious mind.
! Several facts in connection with
his past life have been discovered
and he is daily hoping that other
thoughts may come back. The flash
that led to his discovery that he was
a machinist foreman came to him
only last March. He said that he
was undergoing treatment at the
hands of surgeon and that he was
unable to take ether, due to the con-
dition of his lungs. The operation
was on portion of the brain and
it was necessary for the surgeon to
insert the instrument in the ear and
to work from that point.
The pain was intense, he said. but
his mind was absolutely clear. He
was sitting on a chair, his head
resting on a table and his eyes were
focused on cabinet Of surgical in
struments. And then, like streak
of lightning came the flash that he
had at one time made instruments
like that. He jumped to his feet and
the doctors believed that he had
gone crazy with the pain, but he
told them that he was all right and
New Britain herald., 1926-12-10

vanced the theory that he is OF
Armenian. Rumanian or Greek
descent. He believes that he may be
Of Italian extraction. but an expert
ment he tried out In California
awaited him nothing.
He found an italian family in a
California city and boarded with
them for some time. He ate what
they ate. went to the same places of
amusement they did and attempted
to fit himself to their customs in the
hope that his past life might come
back to him. But to no avail. He did
not care for the Italian mode of liv-
ing any more than he did for any
other.
Last night at an American Legion
meeting in Unionville he stated that
a member of the Legion approach
ed him and started to talk volubly in
Italian. Jerry" said that he was
unable to make head or tail of what
the man was saying.
He is travelling on his own hook,
he said. and he has many times been
down to his last nickel, but he will
not give up. He is sure that some
time or other things will come back
to him and he will be able to take
his place in a world in which he is
now a comparative stranger. He
seeks no aims from anyone and he
asks only to be allowed to seek his
former self.
In spite Of the fact that he has
proofs of service connections, he has
not been able to get the government
to afford him the benefits of the
Veterans bureau. At the present
time a bill, sponsored by one of the
legislative leaders from California,
is pending on congress, which, if
New Britain herald., 1926-12-10

secured a piece Of paper. upon
which he wrote what had been i'm
printed on his mind during the mo-
ment that the curtain had been lift
ed, exposing a glimpse of the past
to him.
He went to the plant where the
instruments were made and was
allowed to walk through several of
the rooms. Without any prompting
The named several pieces of ma
chinery and picked up an instru-
ment, stating that he had worked
with one of them years before. The
instrument, an uncommon one, was
named and he later located the
foreman under whom he had work
ed in 1911.
In several towns his chances to
find himself" have been shattered
through a mistaken sense of help
on the part of organizations, with
the result that his movements have
been played up too much and he
has received too much publicity.
He dislikes pomp and prefers to
travel quietly. In Akron his arrival
was announced weeks ahead of
time and he was treated like a re-
turning hero when he finally
reached that city.
I'm no hero" he said today.
THE only reason I'm in my pres
ent condition Is that I forgot to
dodge a shell. That's not heroic"
His one ambition Is to own a
farm, he says. Today on his way
down Church street, in company
with a Herald representative, he
paused in front OF florists win
dow and pointed out the blooms by
name, saying that he likes to raise
flowers and that he knows how to

er who still grieves for her son,
lost on the battlefields Of France.
Jerry" has been recognized by
several servicemen who remember
him in engagements during the
war. They say he was attired in
the uniform of a Marine and aft
davits to the effect that they re-
member him have been made. Col
David Nickel of the 18th field ar
tillery, Second division. was one of
those who made out an affidavit.
None OF these men knew anything
about him beyond the fact that he
was with them in several engage
ments. They say they never asked
his name and he never told them,
several Of them have
talked with him. Jerry" has
vivid memory of several engage
ments, notably that OF Belleau
