AUTO INJURY FATAL
Mrs. Sarah Carmen, Foxboro, Mass. Suocumbs at New Haven Hospital After Motor Accident,

New Haven, Dec. ? R - Mrs. Sarah Carmen 59. of Foxboro. Mass. died last night in Grace hospital following an automobile accident November 3 near Branford. on the Boston post road. Death was caus- ed, in the opinion of Medical Exam- iner M. M. Scarborough. by a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage, although she received fractured pelvis in the accident.
 Mrs. Carmen was a passenger in an automobile operated by her son, Milton J. Carmen. which collided in a heavy rain storm with a machine operated by o. C. Kelsey of Stony Creek. Branford police absolved both drivers, accepting the opinion that the heavy rain at the time of the New England floods, prevented their seeing clearly.
 Mrs. Carmen was said to have suffered several strokes previous to the accident.

GIGANTIC LOBBY
 SEEN IN CAPITAL
Another Senatorial Probe Looms
 as Congress Meets

Washington. Dec. UP)- Charges that a gigantic lobby has been organized here by public utili- ties interests to defeat the Boulder dam bill and open Muscle Shoals to private exploitation may precipitate q demand for another senatorial in vestgation at the next session of congress.
 Judson King, director Of the na- tional popular government league, issued a statement today naming the joint committee of national util- fly associations as the hub of a power lobby organization.
 The principal objective of this per-lobby," King said. "are to kill the Boulder Dam bill, deliver Muscle Shoals to the power combine, side track the resolution to investigate the power trust as proposed by Sena- tor Walsh, democrat, Montana, and turn over an invaluable power site belonging to the Flathead Indians of Montana, to the Montana Power Company without just compensation to it's owners"
 Any action resulting from his charges will probably originate with Senator Walsh, who plans to rein- troduce his resolution to investigate public utility corporations, which died in committee In the last con- gress.
 Walsh told the United Press he was considering an addition to his original resolution providing for in vestigation of the alleged lobby as we'll as the power trust itself.
 Senator Norris, republican, Neb. leader of the senate insurgents, said he was convinced the lobby should be investigated and hoped Walsh would institute the movement in connection with his power trust in vestigation proposal.
 T have been aware of the exist ence of a great power lobby for some time." said Senator Johnson, repub- lican. California. co-author of the Swing Johnson bill.
 'It will be an obstacle 10 Boulder Dam legislation but we are prepared to fight it. Driving it into the open will diminish its effectiveness some what"
 Kings statement was devoted largely to discussion of the men said to be connected with the joint com mittee. He named George E. Cor telyou. president of the Consolidated Gas Company of New York: Philip H. GadSden of the United Gas and Improvement Company Of Ihi!adeI- phia: Stephen B. Davis former soli- citor Of the department of com merce: Josiah T. Newcomh, Wash ing attorney and several other, prominent in the public utilities field.

M|LITAR|SM CURSE
 OF MODERN CHINA
Chinese Student at Harvard Ad- dresses Y. M. (. A. Meeting

If the war lords of China had had the sense 10 unite their forces they could have kept the nationalists from winning any victories in China, according to Victor K. Kwong, Chinese student Of Harvard | niIer- sity. who spoke at the !. N (, \. Biblo class last evening.
 China is not independent. free nor sovereign today because Of for .i-n concessions. Tn 1911 the Man emu dynasty was overthrown and a nominal republic was formed. but now only five or six Of the eighteen provinces Of China are under na- tioralist government said the speaker.
 "The Manchu government gave the people of China no opportunity 10 express themselves. Young men visit d western countries to study demo- cratic forms Of government They returned with a determination 70 abolish n arbitrary form of rule Since the overthrow Of tho Manchus if has been a constant struggle for popular government
 This struggle has been against military dictatorship. War lords with their own armies have ruled according to their own desires and by heavy leries or taxes they have burdened the masses.
 Gradually q sentiment crystal ized against these despots and a movement was started to overthrow 'ham.
 The nationalists raised an army which was proceeded in it's advance, toward strategic cities, by corps of students who were under Russian in- fIuence. Propaganda was spread In favor of the armies Of the national ists.
 America was asked to furnish army officers to train the nationalist forces but such assistance was re- used. And what the United States refused the Russians provided. In addition came money and ammuni- ion from the Soviets with which the battles Of last year were fought.
 'It was the communists who were behind the attacks on the foreign concessions last spring. The pro- gram was to drive the foreigners out of China. In six months one half Of China was conquered.
 While the nationalists were will ing to receive Russian help they were not in according with con- munism and before the end of the year there was a break and the communists were elected.
 "Now. deprived of outside help some ground has been lost and the nationalists only rule five or six provinces and there are many wal lords In North China still in the full sway Of power" said MT. Kwong

lows: Fritz Reiner will conduct the
