Congress, the diplomatic corps
and officials of the State Depart
ment were aroused over the pros
poets of a Senatorial investiga-
ton into the recent exclusion of
Countess Karolyi, wife of the
former Hungarian premier.
The inquiry was demanded by
Senator Burton K. Wheeler Cd
of Montana, who charged the
countess was excluded on forged
documents presented to the State
Department by Count Laszlo
Szechenyi, the Hungarian minis

DEFENSE
BY COP

Policeman J. r. Milstead ac-
companied Mrs. Laura Marie
Adams from her place of employ
ment to her home because she had
asked protection from her hus-
band, according to testimony
given before the Police Trial
Board in the Sixth precinct sta
ton house today.
Milstead was tried on two
charges preferred against him by
John w. Adams, husband of the
girl-mother.
The first charge, alleging that
Milstead. while on duty, talked
and walked with a citizen not on
police business. was taken under
consideration by the board.
The second charge, of conduct
prejudicial to good order and dis
grazing the department, was dis
missed.
Wife Seeks Divorce
1t developed during the trial that
Mrs. Adams has filed suit for abso-
lutte divorce from her husband, and
he had made no answer to her
charges. Two policemen, Edward T.
Costello and Robert c. Jackson
stated that they had been asked by
MrS n fn
her husbands alleged threats.
HE has often attacked me on the
street and in my home, and has
threatened to kill me, if he can get
his hands on me- the pretty Mrs.
Adams told the board.
Il had him arrested for threats
once, but he got down on his knees
to me and said he wouldn't do it
again. So 1 withdrew the charge,
and he followed me and said, You
little fool, do you think / meant
what l said? I'll get you"'
Adams testified that, on two oc-
casions, he had seen his wife IL
company with Milstead while he
was in uniform. He said they had
been separated, but not through
court action, for about year.
On cross-eXamination, Adams ad-
mitted he had not told police that
he was separated from his wife,
nor did he mention the pending
divorce action or an alleged un
needed court order requiring HIM
to pay So a week for the support
of the baby.

panied Mrs. Adams on more than
one occasion. because of her feag

SPARE ROD
D. K SAYS
HOOVER

The spare the rod -spoil-the-
child" theory Of character build4
ing has no part in the American
education system, Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover declared be-
fore the National Education As
ISOLATION here today.
The rule of the long-cut hick-
DRY has been supplanted by the
installation of craftsmanship,
leadership, and personal respon
sibility-a transformation which
in Hoover's opinion is making
for character faster and better
than ever before"
II would not go so far as to
say that you are altogether re
sponsible for the distinctive vir-
tues of the American character, "
Hoover said. .
Home and Church Aid
Religion and the home share
the responsibility for moulding the
characters of our young people.
But certainly your part as
teachers is very large in the result.
There may be failures in character,
but while the educated crook may
achieve success as a crook, he does
not secure honor or applause"
Hoover declared that he was less
interested in what teachers put
into young folks heads than what
is put into their spirits"
THE best teaching is not done
out of a book, but out of life" he
added. II am sure that, measured
by this standard. it will be agreed
that American teaching has been
marvelously productive
Specialization NeedfuI
Modern conditions demand high
degree of specialization, more edu-
cation and skill, according to
Hoover. He warned the educators
that in the additionally complicated
system of life, the oncomine
generations must be fitted for the
changing scenes.
Science, invention and discovery
have raised living standards. but
1T requires nlgner concept tn
elevate our standards of life." ac.
cording to Hoover.
1.-The educational system must
erect additional bulwarks against
every new malign social force" he
declared.
Exact knowledge, according to
Hoover, is secondary to a trained
mind and serves no useful purpose
unless 1t is the servant of an
ambitious intellect, sound character
and idealistic spirit,

CLAIM

Commissioner Frederick A. Fen
ming win be called upon to ex-
plain to Congress just what con-
nection he has, with District street
railway interests:
Following charges made today
that the Public Utilities Commits
sion has been derelict in its duties,
Representative William C. Ham,
nier Of North Carolina stated that
Commissioner Fenning formerly
was a counsel for one of the street
railway companies here. The
Commissioners present law part

declared.
Authority Admitted
This charge, coming at the close
of prolonged hearing on the pend

Utilities subcommittee of the House

street railway companis.
He questioned Major w. +! r.
CoveIl. Assistant District Engineer
Commissioner, regarding the powers
of the commission under the present
law. Major Coyell admitted that the
utilities commission has all the
authority IT. needs to fix a perma-
nent valuation as basis for fare
adjustment. which could not be up
set by court ruling.
THE District courts increased the
valuation established by the Public
Utilities Commission because that
commission failed to carry out the
law in establishing it's valuation
figure" Representative Hammer
stated.
Win Call Employees
Representative Hammer declared
that he intended to place on the
stand Commissioner Fenning and
the secretary and other employees
OF the Public Utilities Commission,
who, he declared, knew facts about
the utility situation which had not
yet been revealed and about which
the public should know.
We have just scratched the

St. Louis Plumbers

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-The reorgan-
ICED plumbers examining board under
st. Louis open shop mayor examined
and licensed 6S plumbers from Sept.
81 TO Jan. IS, more than twice the
number licensed during the same per-
Tod a year ago. The mayor and his
open shop cabinet recognized the
board and removed the secretary Of
the plumbers union for the avowed
purpose OF removing the board from
union influence. Labor men believe
the new board is cooperating with the
employers to flood st. Louis with
plumbers and beat down wages.

that the rank and file leadership in
this opposition are either members Of
the league or adhere to the principles
Of the league.
At this late hour for the Amalga-
mated bureaucracy to condemn the
Trade Union Educational League as a
dual union is ridiculous. The Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers leadership
knows only too weel that no other or
ganizatlon has done more to kill the
dual union idea in this country then
the league. But our leadership finds
itself in pretty tight position, par
ticularly in New York and Rochester,
they have revived the cry of dual
unionism, to justify their misleader-
ship. BY declaring the T. U. E. L.
dual union they hope to expell all
militants by simply decreeing that
members adhering to the principles
of the league or belonging to the
league or who find themselves in OPP
position to the administration, are
seeking to destroy the union. BY these
means the bureaucracy hope to have
easy sailing with their class collabo-
ration policies.
Bureaucrats Should Learn Lesson.
Bureaucrats in other needle trades
unions have tried the same stunt.

The league is not dual union. The

Tho you can count the age of the

tories were only returned to power
then things would be otherwise for
the miners.
Political Promises Fail.
The last days of June saw the tories
elected, and from that day to this
they did absolutely nothing to force"
the company, the British Empire
Steel corporation, to work their mines
even an hour more than suited Besco
to work them.
Meantime the miners continued to
work less than half time and live on
half rations. June passes, July,
August and all the other months I'M
til New Year arrives and the tories
have done absolutely nothing for the
miners.
Invite Government to Explain.
Then on the last Sunday Of the
year meeting is called by the
despairing miners, and members of
the new tory government were in
vited to attend and answer to the
Infatuated miners why they were not
getting more work and why the
promises made during the June cleo
ton were not kept.
Only the encouragement of the
province attended the meeting, local
ly known as John c. Douglas. He
talked to the miners telling them how
much he would like to do for them,
but had not the power, the govern
ment must live up to the law, and
the law did not permit giving relief to
the miners, nor allow them to force
Besco to work their mines.
No Answer to Miners.
The encouragement sits down and
at once a miner, pale with hunger
and pent-up emotion, shouts at him:
Where is the four days a week
that you promised us? The last two
pays l drew only brought $3.50; this
coming payday l won't draw a cent"
Quivering with anger the pale miner
sits down unanswered, only to have
his place taken by a second miner,
who Kisses thru his teeth at the at
torney-general: you come here and
ask us to send a committee to BescO
and ask them to give us more work,
when in the same breath you tell us
that you and your government cannot
make them work their mines. How in
H. are we going to make them open
their mines?"
This miner sat down like the other,
unanswered. to have his place taken
by many more miners shouting ques-
tions which were never answered, the
encouragement of Nova Scotia sit
ting with the blank face and sagging
chin of a fool who is suffering from
bad attack of the discussional lock-
jaw. A resolution is then passed tell
ing the government that the miners
are tired of promises and that If the
government does not come across
with work or full rations before the
weekend, that they, the miners, would
take what they need wherever they
could find it.
More Delay and Suffering.
A week passes and the government
does nothing. Evidently the fool with
the lock-jaw has carried his ailment
into the ranks of government. The
miners call a second meeting on Jan.
3, and again invite members of the
government to be present. The meet
ing is called for three o'clock in the
afternoon, and not member of the
government shows up. The meeting
is like an open powder keg.
Miners in despair tell their story Of
working two days, and in some mines
no days at all, and when a few dollars
had been earned, it had been deducted
from their pay envelopes by Besco for
one or more Of the dozen things that
