KING OPENS FIGHT ION ADMINISTRATION
Cites Ward Baking Co. Corpora
 ti0n in His Attack

Washington, Feb. 1 P)-Prt sident Coolidge and the investigating agen- cics of his administration were at lacked today in the senate by Sen ator King, democrat, Utah, in con- .noctio1 with the formation of a new $500, ,000, ,oQO corporation by the Ward interests 10 deal in bread and other foodstuffs.
 Declaring this was only one effort at combinations flor the control' of necessities. Senator King said atten- .tion could be directed Ito many con- spiraCies in restraint of trade which in the end must destroy the econ omic system"
 "I do not expect the department of justice to act" he said. "They are sleeping while these great trusts are being formed.
 "The federal uade commission is impotent. I do not say that ma iority are protecting the predatory interests. but q majority take view contrary to the spirit of the trade commission act. They are derclict in the discharge of their duties.
 "There are bills here proposing to abolish the federal trade cOmmis sion and some of us intend to press them, not that we do not think the commission has been useful In the past, but that it has outlivod it's usefulness as now directed.
 "The present administration is wholly indifferent 10 the growth of metropolics and trusts. Indeed, the president of the United States in his speech in New York seemed to pro- Inouncc a bcnediction on these great organizations"
 Senator Norris, republican, Ne braska, suggested that the new bread combine" might propose to buy all inc wheat in the United States and sell all of the bread.
 Think what fine condition We will have when one man purchases all Of the farmers products and sells all of the bread and other food stuffs 10 the consumers" said Sen ator Norris.

BATTLE OF BOOKS" ONE
 OF YALE'S TRADITIONS
History Records Collegiate Fight for Possession of Library
 At Saybrook

New Haven, Feb. 1.-The an nouncement of plans for the Sterling Memorial library which when com pleted at Yale university will pro- vide space for five million volumes recalls the story of the battle of books" which occurred in 171S when the college was reestabhshed in New Haven, being moved here from Saybrook.
 From 1101 to i7l6 several hun dred volumes had been collected at the college at Saybrook. When the collection "became the largest on this side Of the Atlantic" those in charge sought q site for the college, finally selecting New Haven.
 Ater the library had been pre- pared in the building which was to become the college at the new loca- ton, the trustees sought to obtain the previous collegiate collection that was still In Saybrook. The Say brook faction "swore that there it would remain for all time to come"
 The New Haven men, thinking otherwise, went 10 Sayhrook armed with an order from the governor of the colony. But they came home without the books. In the next move the county sheriff and his con- stables pushed their way into Say brook house where the books were being held, and the great volumes from London were loaded on ox- carts and started toward New Ha- ven. This was in December. ITS.
 During the night" says a his- torian, "the Saybrook people drawn off the guard, turn loose the oxen, upset the carts, carry off such of the books as they happen to fancy, and send out parties to break down the bridges over the creeks. When morning comes the sheriff collects what he can of the debris and the next day arrives in Guilford with a quarter of the original library lost for Eood.'
 IL is reported that during this bat tie 260 books were lost and 1000 saved.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
 TO GET TOGETHER
Hope to Make Tariff the Issue in
 Congressional Fights

Washington, Feb, 1 N9 -- An. other get-togother movement has been started by democratic party leaders in Washington.
 It apparently contemplates a re- turn 10 the tariff question as one Of the paramount issues of the 1926 congressional campaign, and a revamping of the entire demo- cratic national organization into an aggressive fighting machine.
 The movement was given impe- tus last night at q dinner given by Senator Walsh of Montana, pre- siding officer of the last demo- cratic national convention In honor of Franklin D. Roosevelt, demo- cratic vice presidential nominee in 1920, and Governor Al. Smiths campaign manager in 1924. Rank ing democratic leaders of the sen ate and house were present and much of the discussion related to a closer cooperation" between the democratic minorities in tho two branches Of congress.
 Some Of those attending said there was unanimity Of opinion that the national committee should meet in the near future and lay plans for the congressional cam paign. There has been criticism of the failure Of the committee to get together since tho 1924 election, coupled with the reports that Na- tional Chairman Clem l.. Shaver, merely was winding Up his affairs preparatory to resigning. MT. Shaver has denied he intended 10 quit voluntarily.
 A year ago MT. Roosevelt and some other leaders put under way q movement looking to the crea- tion of a militant democratic na- tlonal organization but the move ment collapsed in it's infancy. Sev- eral of inc more influential lead CTS concurred in the view of Mr. Shaver that the time for creation of such an organization was not ripe.
