learning Spanish for daily use will be
greatly assisted by studying the little
lessons which are to be published
three times a week in The Dispatch.
These lessons, he says, will only take
a few minutes each, but each one OF
them should be studied very carefully.
One of the points that the student
should keep in mind is Ito think in
Spanish, never attempting to make a
literal translation from one language
to the other" A good method of en-
larging the vocabulary in Spanish is
to carry lists of Spanish words, par
ticularly concerning the line of work
that the reader is interested in Also
books containing pictures with the
names and description written in
Spanish will greatly aid the student in
getting the word and the object to-
gether, says Professor Escobar. "Do
not try to think the English equiva-
lent" In teshe lessons, says he, i
will give not only the Spanish but its
English equivalent also any idiomatic
usage which it may have. The first

BLUE NORTHER
HITS DOUGLAS
AT HIGH NOON


Just as a bright sun was beginning
to take the first OF q very chilly
night from the air yesterday some
thing struck Douglas that is described
by old timers as a "bIue norther. :"
1t was almost noon and much more
chilly than usual for that hour q
the day owing to q heavy 1rost the
night before.
The early morning had been fairly
calm and the sun was hot. Suddenly
the wind began to blow keen and
cold and from the north, northwest.
The sky remained cloudless SO that
anyone out OF the wind was un-
comfortably hot in the rays OF the
sun but in the wind everyone shivered
and got into overcoats ordinarily
reserved for late evenings.
That the cold contained in this
wind must come from a distance is
pointed out by weather experts as
the occasional cold experienced here
comes from snow in the nearby
mountains and there is no snow on
the peaks this year or not enough
to make the weather cold in Douglas.
There are but few days IN a year
in Douglas when the majority OF
people will wear overcoats during the
middle of the day. There are many
more days even in the middle OF
winter when they do not even keep
their coats buttoned. Yesterday
marked peculiar situation. The
direction OF the wind was strange,
the sun shone as bright as ever and
yet the cold increased hour by hour
until at dusk one almost expected
to see the thermometer register at
freezing.

PROFESSIONAL
GOLFERS HERE
ON BRIEF STAY

That Douglas or any other city is
making step in the forward direction
when it turns to the policy of a muni-
cipal golf links is the statement made
last evening by both Tommy Armour
and Joe TurneSa nationally known
golf professionals, who were in Douglas
on their way from the coast to Ell Paso
where they will play in the tourna-
ment about to open.
Armour, whose home is at Washing
ton, D. c., and Turnesa, of New York,
have been playing at Los Angeles and
both of them are enthusiastic for
municipal golf courses. "We played at
Long Beach on such course, said
Armour "and we found it an excellent
course, well kept and better still well
patronized. The course is attracting
players by the hundreds each day.
Douglas ought to lose no time in MAX
ing certain of establishing such a
course. Golf grows more popular each
year. 1t will continue to gain follow
ers and because Of that fact munich
pal course, if established and properly
scared for not only will maintain itself
but will be an actual money winner
for the city,
Turnesa is accompanied by his wife.
The party is motoring through and
will leave Douglas this morning for Ell
Paso. They stopped last night at the
Gadsden.

UTILITY
COMPANIES RAP
SENATE PROBE

WASHINGTON Jan. 18 P9-With
two former United States senator's
Lenroot OF Wisconsin, and Thomas,
of Colorado-as- their spokesmen,
public utilities corporations came out
into the open today before TIM senate
interstate commerce committee in
opposition to any blanket inquiry into
their industry.
Lenroot spoke for the joint COM
mittee Of the national utility asso-
Citations and Thomas appeared on
behalf of the Cities Service company
Both challenged the authority OF
congress to iIVade field which they
sail should be reserved distinctly 1or
state regulatory bodies.
The former Wisconsin senator de-
clared that before the committee
reported the Walsh resolution for an
investigation by a special committee
it should have before it some specific
charges against utilities companies
He added that in the absence of sucE
specific charges there should not be
"any general indictment or the in
dustry."
"The public utilities are not here
as guilty culprits seeking to hide
the facts" he said. %The public
utilities Of America are proud of the
record they have made. There is nc
industry in America in which the
people have a greater interest"
After arguing for more than ar
hour, Lrenroot laid down these three
fundamental objections of the utilities
to the proposed investigation:
There are no facts before the
committee showing the need of such
an investigation.
"The all embracing character oi
the investigation proposed.
"The senate of the United States
trict includes these two states anc
Ell Paso, the one city in Texas. The
rest of Texas is in the southern dis
trict of KiWanis.
The trustees of the district meet
once a year and report on the pro-
gress of their clubs and confer or
ways and means of making Kiwanism
better than it has been in the past
The exchange of ideas is considered
very beneficial to all the clubs

has no jurisdiction to either investi-
gate or to legislate upon most OF
the matters contained in the resolu-
tien"
Former Senator Thomas enumerat
ed an equal number OF objections on
behalf OF the Cities Service company
"The subject matter of the investi-
cation is jurely local.
"Delinquencies in the matter OF
local regulation can not justify
congress in exercising the right to
correct those delinquencieS.
Whatever conclusions you reach
you can not formulate any legislation
unless you take over the functions
of the state regulatory bodies"

She and her husband carried the chill dren to safety and poured water on the fire, meanwhile summoning Co, No. of the fire department. When the firemen arrived the danger was over. but 1t was necessary to rip out the flooring and the wall to locate the origin of the blaze, which was found to be ,,an overloaded steam pipe running through the wall.
 The little girl who brought about the prompt discovery of the blaze was none the worse for her exper- fence but the baby was affected by the smoke. although she recovered quickly. The damage to the house. which is owned by Mrs. Mary A. Draper of 5s Fairview street, was estimated by the firenen at 3200. It IS a cottage.

City Investigating Death Caused by
 Wind Hurling Sheet Metal From
 Roof of Strand Theater to Street
Prosecutor Woods and Sergeant O'Mara Weighing All Details in Connection W c. Injuries
 to Bernardo-Repc .Ad, 1neeficu :,
 With Mayor ~ ~-'aftford ". Libra

Investigations by the police de- partment in cooperation with the office of the prosecuting attorney and by the county coroner's office, through the local medical examiners, are under way today as an effort is being made to determine what caus- ed the fatal accident at the Strand theater Thursday night, which re- suited in the death of 22-year-old
 All agencies interested in the in- quiry are inclined to view the mis- hap as an unfortunate accident in which there appears to be no crim- inal negligence. although it ap- pears that the penthouse from it to drop on several pedestrians, was not built strong enough to with stand the assault of the elements.
 The break came at the point of contact of the roof and side walls. every bolt used to attach the roof having been sheared off.
 The theory was advanced today that the roof blew off the pent- house some time prior to the fatal acci- dent. probably several hours before. Had the gale been strong enough 10 raise the heavy metal and catapult it with one sweep across the roof, 1t is reasoned that it would have been carried beyond the driveway which is immediately to the east of the building. rather than drop close by the building. It is possible. those whN lean to this theory say, that the first noise heard was when the last bolts sheared off. dropping the metal to the roof, and the scraping subsequently heard. was that of the load being swept across until it

 Marks on the roof, and the break ing of the tile atop the parapets passed before the edge of the build ing is reached, give further indica- tion that the accident was not con- summated with one sweep.
 At the request of Medical Exam finer John M. Purney, Building In- spector A. N. Rutherford today filed a written report similar to the ono given Mayor Paonessa yesterday morning. A similar report is to be given Prosecutor Woods office.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods an-' nounced today that he will give thorough consideration to all the details connected with the fatality, and will present a complete report, with his findings. to Mayor Paones- sa early next week. He and Ser. geant Patrick J. O'Mara made an inspection of the premises late yes- terday afternoon, and took notice of the physical aspects of the case, but until he is in possession of the build ing inspectors report he will be un- prepared to make finding. he said.
 The metal roof which felled Ber- nardo and caused his death was re- moved to the Glen street dumping grounds but later it was carted to the public works department store- yard on Harvard street. where it will be kept until the investigation has been ended.
 Funeral services for Bernardo will be held Monday morning at g o'clock at St. Joseph's church. Bur- ial will be in St. Mary's cemetery.

 The relief shop to be used was brought across the border because no other plane available was believed big enough to be trusted with the parts needed to put the damaged Bremen into flying condition.
