tion that further action on the merger
legislation be postponed until the next
Congress. Representati. Mcleod
moved to report the bill.
Representative Gilbert argued that
the valuation In the merger proposal
was not justified, as the court took the
railways own valuation and no depre-
citation had been allowed. He claimed
that this was 100 per cent cost price Of
the Capital Traction Co, and when
extended to the Washington Railway 81
Electric Co, the injustice, he said, was
still more apparent because depreciation
there was much greater. He declared
that rather than commit the public TO
paying fair return In street car fares
on q rate base of 5000. 600 on a prop
erty that, he said. was worth only
$50, ,OOO. 900, he would prefer 10 see the
present legislation fail. He expressed
his conviction tfint the public would be
best served by delay.
Representative Gibson emphasized
that Congress has until June %. 1929.
to approve the agreement.
Representative Hammer said that
the advantage Is TO the corporation In
a provision which allows the rate base
to be increased by betterments. He re-
served the right 10 offer amendments
on the floor. and said that the commit
tee should exercise greater caution TO
safeguard the people.
Representative Cole stated he de-
sired 10 be heard at some other time
on the merger proposal. Representative
Lampert stated that the legislation is
so important that further sessions
should be held.
Representative Gibson made the most
posal and emphasized the haste That iS
apparent in trying to put the r1easure
through before the close of tn pres
ent session. He said that Mr. Wilson
admitted he had spent thousands OF
dollars 70 put this proposal through.
He declared that William q. McAdoo
had been brought from California at
great expense to induce members OF the
committee 10 act favorably upon the
merger Mt this session.
I'VE ought to vote on this with our
eyes wide OPEN" said Mr.. Gibson. He
declared that the North American Co.
has behind 1t group OF Wall street
manipulators who would be put In abb
solute control of the street railway sit
uation In the National Capital, who, he
said, have already cleaned up 1000 900
on these two railways and expect 10
make about $40 900 600 more out OF the
deal which brings TO them the Potomac
Electric Power Co
What these manipulators are really
aiming at, Mr., Gibson declared, Is Great
Falls. which lis the only important water
power not already In their control He
characterized the drive to put the
merger across In haste before this ses-
sion closes az 'cold-blooded business" !"
I'VE are responsible for proper legis-
lation for the District OF Columbia" Mr..
Gibson said. I'VE should take due
means to protect the interest OF the
people here"
The vote was Q to s In favor of ad-
tourning until next week.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Her-
bert Hoover held a series of confer
'--ee43Aes with the Inter-Campaign
council here today, and while the
subject thereof was not revealed
officially, it was indicated the recent
activities of Mrs Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, assistant attorney gen.
eral, were disclosed.
Those attending included Hubert
Work, chairman of Republican ma
tional committee; Franklin Fort,
committee secretary; Senator
George Moses, New York director,
and Col. Horace Mann, in charge OF
the committees southern division.
\ Work, Moses, and Mann declined
TO discuss the purposes OF their
Z conferences with Hoover when they
rcap1e out.
The chief asked me if had any
o.. anunications about Mrs. Willie
brandt and I said I had plenty"
Moses said, declining to amplify
that statement.

IT am chairman of the Republi-
can national committees and have
conferences every day with Mi.

Mann declined to say anything.
Moses was jubilant over the Re-
publican situation in New England.
He did not say whether Mrs. Willie
brandt's activities caused him to
make the trip from New York for a
conference with Hoover.
IT came down to report about
certain matters of vital political is
sue in states over which I have 4
watchful eye" he said. II report

recent New England trip and had
not discussed Mrs. Withdrawals re-
cent speeches,

England now than before" Fort
said.
Speech Draft Finished
Hoover sent the first draft Of
his Elizabethton speech to the print
ers today, and betting was even
around his headquarters that he
would take next week for the fish
ing trip he has delayed for a month.
The speech takes no recognition
of recent attacks upon the Repub-
lican campaign by the Democratic
candidate, Governor Smith, in his
western tour. 1t is based on his
torical incidents in the battle OF
Kings Mountain, fought near the
little Tennessee town where it is to
be delivered, and it treats of the
necessity for developing the humane
side of Government.
he first draft required week
of arduous labor. The nominee will
now go over it again, and head
quarters hopes he will be able to
conclude it by the end of the week.
Plans to Go Fishing
In that case, he will try out some
of the new fishing tackle presented
to him by friends. He may go to
Soloman's Island in Chesapeake
Bay to board a private yacht for
two or three days angling before he
he sets out for a week from Friday
for his brief Elizsbethton trip.
Tempting reports that the water
abounds in bluefish, spots, perch and
trout have been laid before him in
an effort to lure him away from

Bank Dividends to Pay Indiana.

Unless the receiver of the National

able to make dividend interest after
paying depositors, the State of In

This was the opinion given
Wednesday by Arthur L. Gilliom,

Of the $4,000 State funds in the
