 Terms of the Walsh resolution re- quire the commission to decide alse whether any practices it finds in its inquiry may tend to create | monopoly, or constitute violation of the federal antitrust laws."
 Agents of the commission are nov at work in New York, Boston. Phiia- dclphia and Chicago. where the utilities industry is largely concen. tratcd The commission also plans to send questionnaires to every private utility operator in the coun- try.

Another appropriation could prob- able be obtained if the inquiry were prolonged. hut the commission de- sires 10 avoid that. .s ! The commissions full report em- bodying its digest of the evidence and findings of fact would then be submitted to the 7lst congress when l 1t Cnryenoe in nACnp,hnv Af VNsA What procedure will be followed in the open hearings during the financial inquiry will be determined by the full commission when it re- turns from vacation next month.

Robbing Same Bank Three
Times in Two. Months Proves
Downfall

Enid, Okla, Dec. Is. (AP)-
Loren Norris, who mixed aviation
and bank robbing, emulated the man
who killed the goose that laid the
golden eggs. The story Of his down.
fall is that he held up the same bank
at Breckenridge, Okla, three times
within a period Of two months.
Norris today was under sentence
Of SO years in the penitentiary for
the last robbery committed August
8. He drew q recent sentence Of 80
years for the first robbery on June
6 Of this year. He still faces trial,
along with an alleged accomplice,
for the second robbery, committed
on June %.
His total loot, bank officials claim,
was approximately $4,000. The first
robbery yielded $1,150, the last 1897,
and the one for which he is yet to
be tried $630.5O.
Fred H. Pralls, president of the
bank, testified at the second trial
which ended yesterday, that he be-
came pretty familia.. with the Oft
appearing robber, and noticed his
similarity to Norris, a former farm
hand in the vicinity. Norris had
become = student aviator in the
army air service at Kelly Field, Tex,
but investigation there revealed he
had been absent on the date Of each
holdup.

ARE RESOLVED
Senator Moses Introduces Res.
Oluti0n to Guarantee Amer.
lean Rights

Washington, Dec. 15.-(AP)-On
the hitherto clear blue sky of the
Kellogg-Briand treaty. there has
appeared something that looks like
a reservation cloud.
It was introduced in the senate
yesterday - . resolution by Senator
George H. Moses Of New Hamp-
shire, and this is what it said:
Resolved, that the senats Of the
United States declares that in ad-
vising and conscnting to the multi
lateral treaty it does so with the
understanding:
"-That the treaty imposes no
obligatio1 on the United States to
resort to coercive or punitive meas
ures against any offending nation.
"2.-That the treaty does not i'm
pose any limitations upon the Mon
roe Doctrine or the traditional poll
cies Of the United States.
"3CThat the treaty does not inn
pair the right Of the United States
to defend its territory, possessions,
trade or interests.
"4-That the treaty does not OBJ
ligate, the United States to the con-
ditions Of any treaty to which the
United States is not ! party"
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
who made lnam for himself by his
fight on the L-ageu Of Nations, has
declared that he favored q proper
resolution"
Moses said that his resolution
would not be . part of the treaty
but merely . declaration of Amer
ican rights.
Chairman Borah, Of the senate
foreign relations committee, and one
Of those who favors passage Of the
Kellogg BRAND treaty without any
strings attached. asserted he OPP
posed the Moses resolution and he
challenged the contention that the
letters Of Great Britain and France
might change or modify the treaty.
