Not So Dumb
SpeeChIeSS Boy Blows
Suit by Defending His
Dukes

NTEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The
IN mother of Hynan Friedman,
5, was suing a big department
store for $4,000. One of its de-
livery trucks. she testified, had
struck Hyman when he was an in
fant, injuring his brain and de-
priving him of the faculty of
speech.
The judge piled Hyman with
questions, but no result. Hyman
remained dumb. So he sent the
boy, with a court attendtn, into a
private ante-chamber.
Listen" the attendant whispered
confidentially to Hyman, I'm
your friend. Somebody told me
your playmates we're whipping
you. Is that right?"
mol" Hyman shouted. Rising
in defense of his pugilistic abil-
ity, he became almost voluble.
Justice Gibbs dismissed the case
as "the most outrageous example
Of attempted fraud I've ever
seen," and ordered Hyman's
mother, Mrs. Anna Friedman, held
in $4,000 bail on perjury and
conspiracy charges.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 9.-The
Michigan division of the Anti
Saloon League today asked John J.
Raskob, chairman of the Democratic
national committee if he and his
friends intend to comply with the
law, by abStaining from use of intox..
icating liquor"
ST wish to congratulate you"
wrote the Rev. r. N. Holsapie, sup
erintendent of the state league, ION
the character of your statement
over the radio on election night and
the high note of loyalty to Amer
lean institutions and policies sound
ed therein.
''You said, the verdict Of the
American people has been rendered,
and in accordance with Democratic
principles, we cfieerful1y accept the
will of the majority and shall take
our place in the ranks of the ma
jority of American citizens.
"Now," continued Mr.. Holsaple,
"the chief issue stressed by Gov
ernor Smith was a change in the
prohibition law. The effort Of your
self, as repeatedly expressed, was to
rid the country of the 'damnable
affliction of prohibition.
I'm view of the fact that the vot-
ers repudiated the suggestions along
this line, together with your public
statement, are we to understand
that you mean in cheerfully accept
ing the will of the majority you
and your friends intend to comply
with the spirit of the law by alb
staining from the use of intoxcat-
ing liquor which was procured in
violation of the, law?
"Will you obey the letter of the
law by refusing to patronize those
who violate it through the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
liquors?
Perhaps it should be assumed that
your statement implies that, but !
am sure you will pardon me for ask
ing for slight amplification of it
in order that we may be sure"

PROGRESSIvES
lose power
Some Means of Furnishing
Boilers to Smith May
Be Evolved.
BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD

United Press stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The So
called progressive bloc in the sem
ate faces a dreary future despite the
success of its individual members in
the general election.
Deprived of its balance CT power
and apparently deserted by several
Of its members, the western inde-
pendentS virtually will be powerless
in the next congress.
The progresSives are powerful in
the present senate because Of the
almost equal division of Democrats
and Republicans. Republicans will
have big majority in the next SEN
ate. Fifty-fiye Republicans, thirty
nine Democrats and one Farmer
Laborite will constitute the member
ship of the next senate, unless late
returns in some of the close states
change the outcome now indicated.
Survive Hoover Landslide
The progressives who were elected
are Senators La Toilette, Wiscon-
sin; Frazier, North Dakota, and
Howell, Nebraska, Republicans;
Wheeler, Montana, and Dill, Wash
ington, Democrats, and Shipstead,
Mimi, Farmer-Laborite.
Their success in surviving the
Hoover landslide will give the pro-
gressives the same numerical
strength in the next Senate that
they enjoy now if all members of
the group continue to vote together
on major legislation. This, however,
is considered unlikely,
Some of the progreSsiveS, notably
Senators Borah, Idaho, and Brook
hart, Iowa, were among Herbert
Hoover's stanchest supporters and
may act with the administration in
the next congress.
Should the progreSSiveS retain
their unity, they will not have suffi-
SASAAO ObACAlBbA4 WA4C4A LA4C 11OOfCL
congress comes into Office to COM
bine with the Democrats and out
vote the administration as they
often did at the last session.
Mag Punish Boilers
Furthermore, most of the pro-
gressives' policies were espoused by
Governor Alfred E. Smith in his
presidential campaign and his over
whelming defeat is certain to be in
terpreted by the conservatives as q
rebuke to the progressive cause,
making it more difficult for pro-
gressive senators to win conserva-
tive support for their measures.
What treatment the Republican
progressives who deserted their
party during the campaign will re-
ceive in the next congress is uncer-
tain. Senators Norris, Nebraska,
and Blaine, Wisconsin, openly in
dorsed Smith and La Toilette re-
fused to indorse Hoover.
Some punitive action may be taken
by the Republicans against Norris
and Blaine.
In 1924, the Republican progress
sives who supported Robert M. La
Toilette rather than President Cool
idge were excluded from party cau-
cuses and deprived of their patron
age.

GAS TRUSTEES
TO give STAND
ON CONTRACT
Board to Make Position
Clear Within 10
Days.
FIGHT TO HIGH COURT
Swift Warns Politics Must
Be Kept Out of
Venture.
FIGHT TO HIGH COURT

Citizens Gas Company trustees
probably will make known within
the next ten days their stand on
the contract calling for the city to
take over the utility in 1880.
Will Thompson, utility lawyer of
the firm of Miller, Daley & Thomp-
son, is expected to have an opin-
ion on whether the city's agreement
is enforceable. The agreement was
entered into twenty-five years ago
when John w. Holtzman, now COR
poration counsel, was mayor of In
dianapoliS.
1t is understood the trustees have
the opinion of several other lawyers
on the original charter granted by
the city when the company was
formed.
If financierS who are buying up
the gas stock decide to start a court
battle on the agreemtnt it is pre-
dicted the fight will be carried to
the United States Supreme court.
One of the questions involved is
whether the issuing of an indefinite
permit by the public service COM
mission in 1921 cancels the city
charter provisions.
Contract Expires in 1880
The contract expires Aug. 25, 1890
The company's assets are listed at
$12000,000, with net. funded indeb-
tednesS of $3,500,000.
Trustees, who represent those who
hold certificates of stock, will name
a new board of directors in Janu-
ary, and it is likely the directors
will be asked to subscribe to the
views of the trustees before their
election.
Robert Lieber. Lucius. B. Swift
Henry Kahn, Gus Schnull, and
Thomas L. Sullivan, once mayor, are
the trustees. Sullivan is president.
Lucius B. Swift, president of
trustees, declared that in his opinion
the city should come into possession
of the utility in 1880. In an
nouncing his belief that the con-
tract still is operative, despite the
surrender of the franchise to the
state commission, Swift made it
clear that he did not represent the
trustees.
Warns Against Politics
Swift warned against allowing
politics to creep into operation of
the properties.
ST have never believed that the
surrender of the charter, to which
the city was nor a party, cancels
that contract. 1t will put the city
IN possession of a property worth
millions and in fine condition. So
long as it is operated under purely
business principles with politics
absolutely excluded it will bring to
the city large annual income of
actual cash or in lower rates after
it has paid off the 10 per cent stock
at par and other fixed debts" Swift
said.
"But this proposition will be
wrecked if politics, good or bad, gets
a grip. To prevent that, additional
legislation may be required"
City officials are planning to "Save
the gas company" and have appro-
priated $4,000 for preliminary eX-
penSes in the fight.
