Fails to Obtain Sparring
Partner, So He Tells How
He Made Millions.
Bv United Press

BY CHttcU FT6SS
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-John E
Andrus of Yonkers, who for years
rode on subways, but differed from
other straphangers because he had
millions of dollars, today reached his
87th birthday.
He was in fine health and Spir-
its. In fact, he offered to box one
of his interviewers, but the chal-
lenge was declined.
81 expect to live long," he said.
81 hope to live within few days
ofthe age of Metlhuselah."
The annual interview began on
routine lines, and, asked to name
the greatest man he knew, Andrus
chose John D. Rockefeller. Then
the capitalist fell into a reminiscent
mood and told how his huge fortune
had been built.
He bought a share of Singer Sew
ing Machine stock in 1854 for Sc,
which now has grown to value of
$97,630.
"But, say" he recited, "I've got
some things that beat that all hol-
low. Some years ago I took some
stock in the Texas e. Pacific Rail-
road. when it owned vast land
grants. They gave an acre of land
with share of stock. I think mine
cost about 80 cents a share and now
it's worth about $2,412 a share"
Andrus no longer is "the worlds
richest straphanger," because he
now rides to work every day in an
automobile.

URGES INDIANA
ALTER CONTROL
over UTILITIES
George Rauch, Marion, for
Department Headed by
Secretary.

By United Press
MARION, Ind, Feb. 16.-A de-
partment of public service at the
Indiana Statehouse advocated by
George w. Rauch, representative
from the Eleventh district in Con-
gress for ten years, in a copyrighted
treatise appeared today.
Rauch declares that such a de-
partment should be headed by
secretary who should be charged
with the duty of fostering, promot-
ing and developing public service.
"He should be given the full
power and authority possessed by
the head of any executive depart
rnent," the treatise read. "In this
State a secretary of public service
should be elected as a measure of
compensation for the lack of that
close scrutiny and powerful restraint
that is applied to Federal depart
ment heads by the close proximity
of the legislative branch"
Rauch called upon Democratic
candidates for Governor and Demo-
cratic editors of the State to eX-
press their views on this problem
of statecraft," which he says sit
will be a mistake to continue to
avoid on account of political ex-
pediency"
1.-THE danger to parties and their
candidates from the present loose
system Of utility control is immi-
nent," said Rauch. I'VE should re-
quire of the man who would be Gov
ernor of our State a clear exposition
before nomination of his position on
the questions growing out of the
public utility situation
Rauch took the ground that while
election of the public service COM
mission members would be a step in
the right direction, it is not the I'LL
innate solution in that it does not
remove what he termed the "evil of
divided responsibility. He challenged
the right Of non-elected officials to
exercise legislative authority and
deplored the judicial attitude as
sumed by the commission under
which "tEe burden of proof is
placed on those who have the poor
est facilities for collecting the evil
dence to be submitted to the trib-
unal."

Mrs. Flora Beard, 18, 437 S. New
Jersey ST, who police charge went
cunning for her estranged husband,
Louis Beard, 412 E. Market st &.
Wednesday, faced charges today of
carrying concealed weapons.
Mrs. Beard told Capt. Jesse Nc
Murtry that she had borrowed the
gun from a waiter in a restaurant
at Virginia Ave. and Louisiana st.
The only reason she gave for carry
ing the gun was that it attracted her
and she wanted to keep it.
Beard learned that his wife was
after him with gun and notified
Traffic Policeman Henry Dugan, sta
toned at Alabama st. and Virginia
Ave. When Mrs. Beard walked by

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Further
delay in disposal of Muscle Shoals

paragraph by paragraph. This pro-
vides for a 50-year lease to the
American Cyanamid Company.
Each clause will be discussed with
q representative of the attorney
general to determine if the Govern
ment's interests are Safeguarded.
Opponents of the plan to turn the

this is another subterfuge to avoid
a vote at a time when the commit

NEW PRAYER BOOK
HELD INADEQUATE
Majority of Opponents Of Re-
vision Indorse Views of
Bishop Barnes.

81 the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 2i.-The newly
revised prayer book Of the Church OF
England today added fuel to the fame
a. religious controversy.
The majority Of the opponents OF
revision indorsed the views of one OF
the opposition leaders, the Right Rev.
Ernest Barnes, Bishop of Birmingham,
that the book was gravely inadequate,
On the other hand. the Anglo
Catholics strongly oppose parts Of the
provision dealing with the reservation
Of she sacrament.
The new book makes 1t clear that
conSecrated bread and wine thus SET
apart is for the communion Of the SICK
and for no other purpose. and that
Ihere shall be no service or ceremony
IL connection with the sacrament SO
reserved.
Stumbling Block 10 Approval.
The great stumbling block to ap-
proval BY evanselical EpiScopalianS
also continues 10 be the reservation OF
the sacrament. L is around this that
the main controversy will rage wher
the book is submitted 10 the church as
Sowbly on February s. and later when.
Il ratified. il goes before the Htt>e Of
Commons. which has already sected
the first revised version.
To the Protestant section Of the
church the great objection to rCServa-
ton Is that il implies a belief in the
doctrine Of the real presence. which tc
the ProteStantS IS idolatry.
The insertion Of the rtlbric providing
No he l.r sY>
M anbry or the vestry instead Of 8
pyX upon or above the altar was in
tended 70 be a concession 10 the
evangelical group.
Since the majority Of them reject
reservation itself il matters little TO
them where the sacrament is kept.
Called Serious Matter.
Bishop Barnes, however contends
that some check 10 the abuse associated
with reservation may effectively be made
there is no indication by a lamp or
otherwise Of the place where the con-
secrated elements are kept. He claims
that in making the latest revision the
proposal 10 forbid such indication was
rejected by the bishops.
TO AngTo-Catholics the place where
the sacrament is kept is a serious mat
ter. The suggestion that the sacred ele-
n1ents be placed in a cupboard in the
vest-v. where choirboys chatter and
church wardens count the collection
seems 10 them little short of sacrilege
The Evangellcs contend that placing
the elements IN pyx upon the altar
would lead TO their alteration. but this
apparently is what many Anglo Catho-
hes desire.
The question Of reservation holds
such prominent place in the dispute
that other points seem almost in
significant by comparison.
