Tom Underwood, alias Frank "Bub-

robbery there, was continued today
until January Is by the United States
commissioner here.
Earlier in the day Johanna Bruce,

take clear position for or against
the measure.
Mime. Hanau's sensational Gazette
swindles poured oil on the flames of
discomfort. Prompted by popular re-
sentiment over this wholesale fleeing of
the small bondholderS in which the
names of several deputies have been
mentioned and one cabinet member in
directly associated with Poincare the
proposed article forbidding members of
Parliament hereafter to be directors of
commercial undertakings. This provi-
sion was adopted. Now with the budget
before the Senate, where Poincare has
always ruled supreme, there are grum-
bllngS against such measure. Many
senators and bankers and business men
see no reason for future parliamentar-
lans abandoning their professions be-
cause they hold political positions.
AS a result the Senate's finance COM
m1ttee unanimously rejected this amend
ment and an acrimonious battle over it
is sure to arise when the budget is de-
bated in the Senate. In fact, in the
Senate, as well as in the Chamber, there
Is distinct movement away from Poin-
care. 1t is felt that the premier has
taken the wrong course in financial
scandals that he hasn't produced ade-
quate results in the reparations nego-
tiations, that he is not justified even in
thinking of asking ratification of the
war debts and, in toto, that he Is not
the strong man he once was.
The franc is now safely stabilized and
politicians are murmuring that some
one else could do just us well as Poin-
care.
Another cause of the loss of conf
dence was Poincare's handling of the
controversial articles for clerical reform

a score of Yale men accepted an in
vitation from Leader Damon deb.
Wack to join the club in singing the
final number, Bright College Years" "
A feature of the program was the
singing of j. v. Griggs, who presented
a group of tenor solos. The audience
applauded vigorously for several min
utes after he had concluded.
The best received number by the
entire club was Johnny Schmocker, -
an old German student song. The
comic dialogue, carried on in broken
German with the aid of elaborate ges-
lures, was presented in masterful style
Other specialties, exceptionally well
done, included three selections by the

COMMUNICATIONS BODY

Proposes New Commission to Con,

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Creation of Federal communications
commission to regulate and control
telegraph, telephone, cable and radio
transmission, as well as common car
riers engaged in such transmission, was
proposed in bill introduced by Chair
man Watson of the Senate interstate
commerce committee.
The commission would be composed
Of seven members appointed by the
President at salaries of $4,000 yearly.
All OF the functions of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. the Postmaster
General and the Federal Radio Com
mission relating to transmission and
carriers engaged therein would be trans
ferred to the new commission and the
radio commission would be abolished.
Senator Watson said he expected no
action would be taken on the bill at
this session of Congress.

which caused the downfall Of the ma
tional union Where at first he insisted
the articles must be passed with the
budget, Poincare switched and now has
agreed to postpone them. The finance
committee of the Chamber has split
absolutely, while the deputies haven't
failed to capitalize Poincare's lack of
decision.
To make matters worse, Hennessey,
minister of agriculture, the target for
criticism in connection with the Ga
zette franc Swindle, since his news
paper, Quotidien, supported this finan-
cial journal, and its editor resigned as
consequence. Thus score of politi-
cal animosities have been kindled both
at Poincare's left and right, and the
governments majority has become so
ephemeral no one dares to count on it.
The Chambers January session may
| precipitate a governmental crisis any
moment and, with Poincare's prestige in
its present dilapidated condition. only
the utmost f1rmness would save him.
