TRIPLE BLOC IS I.
!. PLAN IN. SENATE
Nye Has Program to Force
Farm Relief.
BIZ Tim es Special

DU 1tU6o Dptttub
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Possi-
bility of triple bloc" in the COM
ing Senate to force over farm relief
legislation and override a possible
presidential veto was suggested to-
day by Senator Nye of North
Dakota.
Such bloc, he said, might be made
up of the supporters of public de-
velopment of Muscle Shoals, pro-
ponents of Boulder Dam legislation,
and the farm group. 1t would have
strength, he believes, of more than
the two-thirds of the Senate neces-
sary to override a veto.
when I say farm relief, I mean
the McNary- Haugen bill, of course"
said Nye. "Our people in the north
west believe that this was the best
of all the various proposals so far
made, and they still are for it and
willingly will not accept substitute.
II found no change in sentiment
as a result of President Coolidge's
visit to the northwest this summer.
We were delighted to have him as a
guest, but saw no indication other
than that he is an eastern man who
does not understand our midwest
problems, particularly that of agri-
culture"

SEA BRUTALITY
Torturing Of Tanker Stew.
ard by English Skipper
to Bring Legal Suit.
BIZ United Press

{ By United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. "a hard tale
of the sea, Of a drunken master
torturing one of his crew, today
reached Department Of Justice op-
eratives in New York, after Sir Aus
tin Chamberlain. British minister
of foreign affairs, personally had
taken interest in the case.
Sir Austin, through Sir Esme
Howard, British Ambassador to the
5 United States, urged that full in
vestigation be made of charges
against Captain Crowley of the
tanker Manataumy, on behalf of
Fred Thomas, a member of the
Royal Welsh Fusiliers and steward
on the tanker.
AS q result of the captains bru-
tally, Sir Austin said, Thomas now
is in England, unable to support his
wife and child and forced to live on
a pension Of % shillings a month.
Suit to Be Filed
The British minister forwarded
evidence to an international law
firm, requesting prosecution of
Crowley and suit for damages
against the Manataumy's owners,
the Hadnot Corporation.
Here is the context Of the allega-
lions made against the captain:
Shipping aboard the Manataumy
fNAV1A CA1rf I1o TT,.r
Thomas slipped one night while
walking on deck in rough sea and
instinctively grabbed two uncovered
steam pipes to prevent a fall. He
was burned severely. staggered to
his cabin, tainted, and did not re-
cover consciousness for several
hours
IN the masters quarters were four
cases of whisky, one of brandy and
two Of rum. Crowley helped himself
generously to the various potions
and finally visited Thomas cabin.
Tortured by Skipper
"Quit groaning," the captain said.
"You keep the crew awake"
Thomas continued to moan in his
pain. Crowley, with an oath, called
the chief officer, had the steward
taken to the deck, and handcuffed
to a rail.
There Thomas was doused with
cold sea water until he tainted
again and was taken below. Mean
while, his wrists swelled to such ex-
tent that the handouts had to be
fled off.
The tanker proceeded to San
Pedro Macoris. but no medical at
stention was given Thomas in that
port and blood poisoning set in. At
Port au Prince, Haiti doctor was
sumomned and he advised that
Thomas be removed from the vessel.
Crowley refused to permit Thorn
as departure and it was not until
the tanker reached San Juan, Porto
Rico, that Thomas left the ship and
Eas given hospital attention.

TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
The Faith
of Christmas
By REV. EDWARD TABER

star in the East, these Wise
Men brought unto Him gifts,
gold, and frankincense and
myrrh."
The simple beauty and dignity
Of the narrative depicting the
birth Of the Holy Child is unsur-
passed in any literature. At q
time when the world was cruel,
when the ruthless and relentless
Roman empire held the world in
its grasp, there was born in
Bethlehem Of Judea One who
was to bring to mankind q new
faith and new hope.
Joseph and Mary, in their pil-
grimage to Bethlehem, found
there was no room for them in
the inn. So the Savior was
born in the humblest mag
Unable surroundings. To the
manger came the shepherds and
the Wise Men to pay homage to
the infant King Of the Jews.
The spirit Of Christmas has
been the inspiration Of much of
the greatest Of literature, art
and music.
Charles Dickens, in his Christ
mas carol, has written of the
meaning of Christmas as perhaps
none other ever has.
The greatest artists Of all
time have painted masterpieces
on the alteration Of the shep-
herds, the visit of the Wise Men
and the chorus Of the heavenly
choir.
But perhaps the spirit Of
Christmas is best expressed in
the great Christmas hymns. In
Silent Night, o Little Town of
Bethlehem and Hark the Herald
Angels Sing, we hear the note
Of triumph that is truly typical
of Christmas.
Christmas! The day Of the
spirit of Tiny Tim-God bless US
every one!
The Washington times., 1927-12-24

From the earliest times men
have celebrated the winter sol-
stice. The latter part of Decem-
Der has been a time Of festival
in practically all nations.
OF the various pagan feasts
held in late December the Roman
Saturnalia was typical. This
was a time of general festivity,
in which distinction and rank
were forgotten.
Up to a certain point, this
casting aside Of the usual to
indulge in what was at other
times forbidden may have been
q good thing. We know today
that inhibitions can work gen.
uine damage. But the Roman
Saturnalia degenerated into a
carnival of dissipation and
licentiousness. 1t became a men,
ace to the social fabric of the
empire.
The Christian Christmas is
both a religious Observance and
a holiday feast. It is both holi-
day and holy day.
Cynical indeed is the man that
can find no inspiration in Christ
mas. The Christmas story, as
narrated in the gospels, is one
of poetic beauty and lofty senti-
ment-sentiment in the true
meaning Of that abused term.
"While shepherds watched their
hocks by night" there came the
angel chorus with good tidings
of great joy. To the amazed
shepherds the heavenly messen-
ger told of the birth Of Jesus,
and the celestial choir sang its
triumphant anthem of peace on
earth, good will toward men.
Who has not thrilled to the
ineffable beauty of the story of
the Wise Men who came from
the East to Jerusalem? Pro-
claiming that they had seen His
