BLAINE STUDYING
LAWS OF DISTRICT
Senator to Determine Need
of Controlling Sale
of Securities.

A study of the laws of the District
is being made by Senator Blaine, Re-
publican. of Wisconsin, to find out
whether Washington needs new legisla-
ton to control the sale of securities, to
regulate the real estate business and to
govern mortgage foreclosures.
Senator Blaine is chairman of the
subcommittee on banks and insurance
of the Senate District committee, which
has been asked to recommend what
course the Senate should take on the
resolution proposed last week by Sena-
tor Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa,
seeking an investigation OF real estate
financing activities here.
The Blaine subcommittee has not had
meeting yet to consider the Brook
hart resolution. It was indicated to-
day that some of the members may
want to wait until the Senate has dis
posed of the census and reapportion-
ment bills before turning their atten-
ton to this local matter.
Meanwhile, Senator Blaine plans to
look in.o the necessity for legislation
on the three subjects referred to. Sem
ator Blaine indicated that the informa-
ton he is compiling with regard to
the adequacy or inadequacy OF existing
laws might be useful to the Subccm-
mittee when it comes to decide what
the scope of its recommendations should
be on the Brookhart resolution.
The Brookhart resolution, which al
legged certain irregular practices in con-
nection with real estate financing, has
not been acted on by the Senate, but
was referred to the District committee
for report as to what action 1t should
take. The District committee, in turn,
requested its subcommittee on banks
and insurance to make report.

CAUSE OF RIOT DISPUTED.
Wayman Says FundamentaliSt-M Modern
ist Fight Is Not Reason.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, May Is H).-
Dr. H c. Wayman, president OF Lies
Moines University, in statement 70
day said there Is no truth whatsoever
to reports that the cause Of the recent
student riot was the fundamentahst-
modernist controversy"
While he did not place the cause
definitely, student discomfort, he DID
say. resulted from actions OF DIT.
Shields and Miss Edith M. Reoman,
president and secretary, respectively,
of the board of trustees.
DR.. Wayman's statement was IN
answer to charges by DR.. Shields that
the schools president threw himSeii
into the arms of indictments and trleo
to develop trouble for ofhcials VINO
were trying to change the school from
q liberal to q Christian institution.
After recountng rumorS he said mac
come to him regarding DR.. Shields and
Miss Rebman. both of whom were
"vindicated with indignation" Dr,
Wayman discussed the board meet
ing. There were no charges preferred
against me or against any member OF
the faculty, nor was there any criticism
of me except to Dr. Shields himself in
his efforts to convince the board that
there had been conspiracy formed
against him. AS q matter OF fact the
session throughout centered on DR..
Shields and Miss Rebman."
+, DR.. Wayman said DR.. Shields, as pre-
siding officer on Saturday made the
motion himself that the offices OF pres
ident, faculty and others connected
with the institution be declared vacant
as of June 4
"At this time I informed the board
that I could not continue as president
of the university because of Irregular
ties. The board did not question me
about these irregularities, which are. as
I think, administrative irregularities,
social and financial.
1T has been said that the cause
of the riot was the fundamentaliSt-
modernist controversy. There Is no
truth whatsoever In this. Every FAC
ulty member and. so far as know
every other person connected with the
university officially is q fundamentals
It also has been given as a reason for
the riot the desire for students for
dancing, card playing, moving pictures
etc, This likewise Is false"
