In the civil case to date win come
tomorrow morning, when F'ennine

Court. Herbert l.. Davis, regarding
charges Of enlbezzlement brought
against him by Representative
Thomas l.. Blanton of Texas.

based upon Jennings confessed &C
ton in using the funds OF his
guardian. The bonds are taken out
by Fenning in companies for which
he Is agent and he receives 81

i Court officials and Justices Of
the Supreme Court testified before
the House Fenning subcommittee
that they knew nothing OF this
practice, as Fenning had made no
accounting Of these transactions In
his reports to the court.
If the inquiry by Auditor Davis
substantiates the charges by Rep

Through the cooperation and aid of
the United States Government, the
Air Service of both the Army and
Marine Divisions was put into use to
achieve one of the most thrilling eli
makes ever filmed in Marshall Neil
ans production Mike When the
problem was put up to Metro-G Gold
wyn-Mayer officials by Neilan, they
agreed that the idea was marvellous,
but doubted if any director could mar
shall the required number of planes,
pilots and stunt men to work in one
Individual scene. And since the real
thrill Of the stunt depends upon its ex-
act timing, they knew that no motion
picture organization was capable of
handling it properly, since they had
never been called on to do such
thing before. Neilan solved the prob
lem BY suggesting that the aid of the
government be requested. The Army
and Marine Air Divisions at San
Diego were called upon, and were
more than willing to assist in the
working out of Neilan's idea. AS
result a very thrilling and original
climax was obtained. The cast Of

Haines, Charlie Murray, Ford Sterl-

hospital, one eye was completely
closed, but the sight of the member
was not impaired. She also suffered
injuries to the back and some internal
injuries. But these troubles have
steadily mitigated and the patient now

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-03-19
By Floyd Dell

r LITERATURE is created by its read
II ers as we'll as by its writer's. The
readers decide by their acclaim what
writings shall be considered Of i'm
portance. They acclaim those writ
ings in which they find expressed
their own deepest feelings about the
world they live in. An examination
of the literature of century win
reveal to us the hopes and fears, the
faith or the despair, with which men
faced life in that century. And these
emotions relate ultimately to the po-
litical and economic situations by
which mems lives are affected.
The European literature Of the nine
tenth century takes its special char
acter from the fact that it lies be-
tween two revolutions-both revolu-
tions lying outside the boundaries of
the century: the French revolution
at the end Of the eighteenth century,
and a revolution evidently coming in
the twentieth century, of which the
Russian revolution may be considered
the prelude.
The eighteenth century intelligent
STA had looked forward with Joy to a
revolution which should destroy the
last remaining vestiges Of the feudal
restrictions upon the growth and ac-
tivities of the trading class. This rev.
olution was expected to be peaceful,
and to make everybody happy.
When the French revolution came
the intelligentsia Of the western world
was shocked. 1t was not peaceful,
but violent. AS soon as possible 1t
compromised with what was left Of
the old order in Europe, so that it
might enjoy the fruits of its triumphs
(the phenomenon Of Napoleon). 1t
put the trading class in the saddle
and it now appeared that the world
was not thereby made happy. The
truth of the middle-class revolutionary
slogan, Men are born free and equal, "
began to appear in it's cynical revised
form, Every man for himself and
the devil take the hindmost!" (Laissez
Foire.)
The reaction of literature to this
was turning away from the horrors
Of early nineteenth century capitalism
to that medieval period, from whose
last remaining vestiges (the caste
system, etc. men had been so eager
to escape in the eighteenth century
The so-called "Romanic revival" in
literature all over Europe. This lasts

Kansas City Gets New
Master for Its Utilities

(By Young Worker correspondent.)
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March lin
the present stage of finance capitalism
the ownership and destiny Of local in
dnstries and firms are not controlled
as in former times by local conditions.
This can be aptly illustrated by
pointing out the results of the recent
collapse of Wall Street pool that
has given Kansas City new master
of its electric power and light utility.
The often unsupported connections
between local concerns and the i'm
perialists of Wall Street, is clearly
shown in the shift of financial power
in the Kansas City Light and Power
company.
The syndicate headed by the bank
ing house Of Otis and company have
taken the entire floating supply of
the United Light and Power company
stock out of the market and the
Cooper interest of Pittsburgh is now
factor in this utility concern. This
does not sound like it has any con-
nection with the Kansas City Light
and Power company, but let us look
further.
The Kansas City Light and Power
company is controlled by the Kansas
City Power Security company which
is in turn controlled by the Continen-
tai Gas and Electric company whose
voting stock is controlled by the
United Light and Railway company
which is owned by the United Light
and Power company.
The bankers dictate to the United
Light and Power company. This
company dictates to the United Light
and Railway company, which sets
down the law for the Continental Gas
and Electric company, which in turn
dictated the policy of the Kansas City
Power Security company and this. in
turn dictates to the Kansas City
Light and Power company.
