STATE BATTLES
INS'ILL PLAN TO
WRECK FALLS
Thousands of Kentucky
Residents Start Fight for
Beauty Site.
BY DEXTER M. KEEZER
Times Stan Corresnondenf

WASHINGTON, Sept. ia VOL
ume of protest greater than any in
its history is being poured in on
the Federal Power Commission
against the proposal to grant a Ii
cense to the insult interests to use
the falls of the Cumberland River
in Kentucky for water power de-
velopment.
Virtually, all the protest contained
in several hundred letters and tele-
CRANE addressed to the commission,
is directed against the destruction
Of scenic beauty at Cumberland Falls
to make way for large dam and
power plant.
Executive Secretary o. G. Merrill
of the commission has recommended
that the license be granted, pro-
vided a small volume of water be
allowed to run over the falls to pre-
serve some of its scenic attractive
ness, and that the land around the
lake to be formed by a power dam
be made available to the public for
Poi pun pOOCo.
The plan has received the en-
dorsement Of Kentucky State au-
thoritieS, and it is reported that he
residents in the immediate commun-
ity favor it, but groups in all parts
of the State are mobilizing to fight
against what they characterize as
the ruthless destruction" of one Of
the few remaining scenic wonders
in the eastern states.
In the letters of protest are state
ments holding that the wishes of
the large mass of loyal Kentuckians
are being weighed lightly in the bal
ance with the millions of the insult
interests" and that the Kentucky
authorities, in approving the Cum
berland falls development have
been won over by the power lobby
When the issue of granting the
license is presented to the Federal
Power commission, Interior Secre-
tary Roy West, formerly close bust
ness associate of insult, is scheduled
to have a part in making the de-
cision as member of the commits
sion.
Hearings on the question of grant
ing a license to the insult interests
probably will be held late in Oc-
ober, it was stated by the commits
sion today.

WITH Pipe
Workmen Held for Attack
on Fellow EmpIoye.

Enraged because he believed a
fellow employee had brought about
his discharge, William Murphy, 10,
1545 Southern Ave, this morning
attacked and severely injured Frank
Atkins, %, 1902 Calhoun st.
The attack took place in the Cen
trail States Company plant, where
the pair had worked together. It
was witnessed by several workers.
Armed with a piece of gas pipe,
Murphy entered the plant, sought
out Atkins, and without warning
struck him on the head. Another
blow broke Atkins spectacles, driv-
ing piece of glass into his left eye

Murphy fled, but soon wac cap
tured by deputy sheriffs, and
charged with assault and battery
and attempt to kill.

Teapot Witness Sought in
Paris Amused by Extra
dition Fight.

81 CHtte1 Press
PARIS, Sept. 1S.-Henry M.
Blackmer. the missing witness in
the Teapot Dome case in the United
States, is trailed by an army of
detectives and seems to enjoy the
experience.
Every place the American oil man
appears-and he is spending much
time in Paris now-he is followed
closely by United States detectives
who seek to eXtradite him. The
United States detectives are fol-
lowed closely by detectives from the
ministry of justice and the Office
Of the surete generate.
Blackmere laughingly told friends
he knew every one of the detectives
who had been assigned to trail him.
Meanwhile, the matter of his ex-
tradition still is in allegiance, as the
French equivalent to a grand jury
alone is capable of advising for or
against his return to the United
States and the ministry of justice
must concur in this opinion.
Officials of the justice department
seem delighted with the fact that
the higher courts are on vacation
until mid-October, as this delays
completion of documents and gives
them more time to study the case
1t is possible they even may seek
more information, particularly from
Colorado.
1t was foreseen that this added
information might carry a decision
over until after the November cleo
tons in the United States.

mands of the kidnapers.
Seized Last Thursday
The father said the boy was
seized by two men on his way home
from school last Thursday after

His disappearance was reported to
police but details were omitted in

because of fear that the abductors
might carry out their threat to
kill the child.
Ranieri told Cragin police he had
received two telephone calls, the
second Wednesday night which
threatened a torture death for the
boy unless the ransom demanded
was paid by Saturday.
The father asked protection for
his six other children and admitted
he had sought through friends 70

Certain pious friends Of Bunyan were
shocked by Pilgrims Progress" be-
lieving 1t to be sinful to resort to flc-
ton and story telling to depict Chris
tian virtues. But the approval out
weighed this UNNECESSARILY. In our own
New England, then but struggling Puri-
tan colonies, nearly a hundred years
before the Declaration Of Independence,
the book found wide sale.
\ -
THE early editions were unattractive
as to paper and illustrations. Bum
yam lived to revise the eighth edition.
Since then 1t has been published In
many languages and with sumptuous
bindings and illustrations. And since
then the intellectual world has given
the book complete approval, one of the
rare instances in which a book first in
dorsed by the common people has won
such recognition.
The Baptists began to refer to him
as Bishop Bunyan. He Travelled to
London to preach, and elsewhere in
England, drawing large audiences. The
days OF persecution, however, were not
over, for in 1885 he was near to prison
again, reSorting, it is said, to DISCUSSES
when preaching. James II freed the
Dissenters who had been Jailed, and
Bunyan was at liberty to preach openly.
In 1888 he contracted fever after ex-
posture, from which he died.
The burial place of Bunyan Is In the
famous Bunhill Fields Cemetery in the
heart of old London.
