MOVE TO SPEED
BILL FOR FLOOD
CONTROL WORK
Legislation Is Likely to Be
Limited to Emergency
Measures Only.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-MiSSis-
Sippi flood control legislation this
session appears likely to be limited
to appropriations for emergency
measures to protect the Lower Mis-
sissippi Valley, with decision on
such controversial issues as local
contributions and tributary work
postponed.
President Coolidge has made pub
lie his compromise financing pro-
posal. calling for an economic sur
vey to determine how much the
States should pay.
Settle Financing Later
In doing so, he disclosed his feel
ing that a decision on this con-
troverSy might well be deferred by
Congress just now. The financial
arrangements, he thinks, could be
settled later.
The President feels that alfred
eral financing would not be so bad
if only the Lower Mississippi dis
trictS directly affected by the flood
were concerned. But he believes 1t
would be bad precedent to charge
tributary control work entirely to
the Federal Government.
The opinion expressed by Chair
man Madden of the House of APP
preparations Committee, after con-
ferences with President Coolidge,
Republican leaders and Mayor Will
liam Hale Thompson Of Chicago,
gives some clew to what might be
expected at this session.
Delay Urged for States
Madden said there should be a
definite moratorium for the South
ern Mississippi Valley States, prob
ably five years, with the Govern
ment paying the entire cost during
this period. The bill also should
provide, he said, for report by a
survey as to the States ability to
pay.
Meanwhile, Congress would vote
appropriations this session for the
Army engineers to proceed with
emergency works. He thinks an ap-
preparation of $20,Oo0.o00 would suf-
fee. In addition to the $l0,008y000
already provided In the war depart
ment appropriation bill.

SEYMOUR, Ind, Feb. 25.-John
Brown is not dead with his body
lying "smoldering in the tomb" but
is very much alive.
When last seen, he was travelling
at rather high rate of speed out
of Seymour, where his attempts to
sell chances at 25 cents each on a
farm and Ford automobile were
frustrated when Police Chief w. A.
Misch ordered him to leave imme-
diately.
Brown and a partner started q
canvass of Seymour early in the
day with cards, which, they said,
were chances on a forty-acre farm
near Shoals, Ind, and a Ford be-
longing to Brown.
The first victims were to be some
local merchants. When they APP
piled their sales talk to the mer-
chants, it didn't soak in properly
and the merchants asked the police
chief to investigate.
The inquisition revealed that the
Ford and farm were merely en-
ployed as assistants for selling the

TERROR TALES
OF COAL COPS
TOLD SENATORS
ProberS of Strike Conditions

BIZ Times Spccia.

BIZ Times Special
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 25.-
Senators on the third day of their
coal strike investigation in the
Pittsburgh district have a clear pic
ture Of two institutions-th coal
strike deputy sheriff and the Penn
sylvania coal and iron policemen.
E. M. Kepple, chief deputy at the
Kinloch mine of the Valley Camp
Coal Company, told the Senators
the company paid the sheriff $3.50
day for each deputy, and in turn
the sheriff paid each deputy SIS
a day.
At the Moon Run mine of the
large Pittsburgh Coal Company,
non-union leader, the Senators got
this portrait of coal and iron
policeman:
Police Terrorism
He is an officer paid by the coal
company, boSSed by the company
and armed by the company. He is
not confined to company property,
but can make arrests anywhere in
the county in which he is COM
missioned by the State. He is not
obliged to report those arrests to
any one but the company which
hires him.
Strikers told the Senators at this
mine Of youths slugged and women
and children terrified by coal police,
who invaded homes with drawn re-
volvers in a search for pickets. They
alleged men wore the police uniform
without commission, and after re-
fusing to constables the right to
enter company camps to execute
their duty
Officials Refuse Data
The Senators have been refused
by company officials data on cost
OF nonunion production. Harry M.
White, division manager, admitted
he knew, but would not talk.
White told how the company
closed thirty mines before reopen
ing on a nonunion basis. Senator
Wheeler asked if the company was
buying and reselling West Virginia
coal while its mines were closed.
White said he did not know.
The committee is irving to ascer-
tain whether the Pittsburgh Coal
Company closed its mines for lack
Of market, as alleged by it, or as
virtual lockout against its union
miners.

WILLIS SLIPS
HELP HOOVER
IN OHIO FIGHT
Numerous Tactical BIunderS
Weaken Favorite Sons
Position.
BY RAY TUCKER

COLUMBUS, Feb. 25.-Herbert
Hoover has won the first round in
his Ohio primary fight against Sen
ator Frank B. Willis, largely through
serious tactical mistakes made by
the latter since Hoover decided to
carry the battle to his opponent.
It Is no secret here that Willis
many Of the moves made by the
Senator himself and by his friends.
An unfavorable reaction came fast
i'll each instance. The mistakes in
judgment trailing the Willis camp
may be summed up as follows:
1. The Senator's threat to with
hold Federal patronage from Ohio
leaders who support Hoover, and his
assertion that he will make good the
warning, first contained in a letter
to Maurice Maschke, national COM
mitteeman and pro-Hoover Cleve-
land leader. This retaliation placed
Willis presidential campaign on the
plane of an aldermanic contest, and
it has been difficult to raise it above
that level.
Second Choice Invitations
q. Willis invitation to Senators
Watson of Indiana and Curtis of
Kansas and Ex-Governor LoWden
to bolster his anti-Hoover campaign
by becoming second choices" on his
delegate slate. OhioanS, including
Willis sympathizers, are wondering
what has become of Willis original
demand for delegation that would
vote for him first, last and all the
time-an attitude which forced
Hoover to enter the primary.
3. Willis attempts through Sarcas-
tic remarks to deprecate Hoover's
personality and record. The Senator
himself now recognizes the blunder
of such policy. Hints that he will
conduct good natured fight al
though not borne out by other de-
velopmentS, have supplanted his
earlier filings at the secretary of
commerce.
4. Alarmist and humorous re-
marks directed against Hoover's
Ohio allies by Fred w. Warner,
county-bred chairman of the Re
publican central committee and one
of Willis chief hackers. Warmers
prediction that the Willis Hoover
primary would split the national
party as wide apart as did the Taft
Roosevelt break of 1912 sets mark
for political humoristS to shoot at
from now until November.
Warner SqueIched
His Characterization Of Walter F.
Brown, Assistant Secretary Of Com
merce, and Col. Thad c. Brown, ex-
Secretary of State of Ohio, as "the
Brown boys who leave bad, brown
taste in your mouth" has embittered
friends of Hoover's two allies in
Ohio. Warner incidentally has been
requested to forego his alarm
producing and mirth-provoking
quips. -.5....
The Anti-Saloon Leagues appar-
ent intention Of taking no, active
part in the fight against Hoover.
Willis had depended on the organ
lied drys for the backbone Of his
campaign, but It seems doubtful If
they will do more than give him
mild commentator. This may be
Offset by the number of outStand-
ing drys declaring for Hoover daily
and running as candidates on his
delegate slate.
BY comparison with these out
bursts. the dignity and restraint Of
the Hoover campaign has been
thrown into sharp relief.

i'm Mother" Role From Obscure Poverty
Picture "Four Sons" Makes
Her Baby Star as

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-A white
haired baby star" somehow over
looked by the Warnpas aggregation
Of Hollywood, has come to Man
haitian to gaze with almost unbe-
lieving eyes at the miracle of her
own artistic triumph.
Mrs. Margaret Mann is a Cougar
old Cinderella brought from obscure
poverty to fame by a single motion
picture. She played the part OF
Grandma Bernie in -Four Sons"
and simply walked away with the
picture.
Years ago, by chance, she played
the role Of Martha Washington in
public pageant In San Diego, Cal.
Well-meaning friends who knew
little Of the problems Of the films
urged her to go into the movies So
she went to Hollywood and found
that her only chance was an occa-
sional bit in a mob scene.
Plays Minor Role
For nearly ten years she haunted
the. Offices Of casting directors. The
turning point in her fortunes was
when Mother Machree" was filmed.
She was one Of fifty old women
picked from the crowd.
When John Ford, Fox director,
was looking for mother type" for
-Four Sons" he remembered Mrs.
Mann and gave her the chance.
Is German Mother
It was about German woman
with four boys. Three fought with
the Germans; the other, who had
migrated to America, battled with
the Yanks.
d The three on the German side
we're killed and the American son
was spared.
No other triumph can offer Moth
err Mann the thrill that came from
the first venture. Among those who
offered congratulations on her work
was Nine. Schumann- Heink, world
