HEARST FAKE IS DENOUNCED
 BY SENATORS
Indignation Sweeps Senate on Charges Against
 Borah and Norris

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-In a spirit of indignation, the Senate has received a report from one of its committees branding as false newly discovered documents pur- porting to show Senators William E. Borah and George W. Norris received $100,OO0 each from the Soviet government.
 T h e documents constituted a new set of papers which the con- mittee has been Investigating sec retly during the past year These were disclosed as part of the Mex ican documents printed in the Hearst papers a year ago and which the committee held were false.
 Discussion Revived
 The report of the Russian papers to the Senate revived a discussion of the Mexican documents bringing the demand on the floor from Senator J. Thomas Heflin that an Investigating committee n q { Hearst for publication of those papers. Heflin's demand was then blocked by a motion of Senator Reed to discharge the committee from further work.
 Malone Again Named
 As in the case of the Mexican documents, Dudley Field Malone was named as intermediary be- tween Russia and the Senators who were presumably being paid in be- half of American recognition of Russia.
 All denied any part in the trans action.
 Senator Reed said. This would be amusing if these spurious pa- pers did not deal with the reputa- tions of distinguished Americans. {"
 Denouncement
 Senator J. T. Robinson, of Ar kansas, arose to denounce the doc uments as "damnable william" adding: Let us sound a warning to the sensational crooks that the filth and stench they seek to ped dle cannot find a market and if such crooks are found within the jurisdiction of this government, penalties appropriate to h e T crimes will be relentlessly inn posed"

MINISTER OPPOSES THE MAR
RAGE TRUST ~

Claiming that the so-called Cupid
Taxi Trust is charging exhorbitantprices
to couples to be married and that the
preachers who marry people for the trust
receive but small percentage of the
amount, the Rev. w. r. Moon, Of
Elkton, has published pamphlet on
the subject He alleges that the trust
charges at least $40 to couples desiring
to be married and sometimes more.
He advises the couples desiring to be
married to drive to his home if they
come by automobile, or go to the
FELTON, House and call him if they come
by train, and he will take them, free of
charge, to the Court House to obtain
their marriage licenses and will then
take them to his home and wed them
in proper form. The minister kasserts
that some of the ministers in the trust
are paid $50 week by the trust and the
remainder is divided. Once he says,
he acted in place of one of the marry
ing parsons, and was afterward ashamed
of himself for acting in such capacity.
He published the pamphlet he says,
to protect those desiring to be married
so that they will not be feeced.

CoNOWINGO COMPANY INvoLv.
ED IN POWER CONTROVERSY

The Conowingo Company is in
vowed IN the controversy between the
power trust and the Federal Power
commission, in which accounting
methods and over-capitalization are
under consideration. The question
OF inflated values in the Conowingo
development has dragged on for
more than two years, and the sus-
quehanna Company has suggested
a further postponement OF three
years.
Officials believe that the prelimf-
ary capitalization claimed by the
ousquehanna company is several
million dollars too high.
In granting licenses for Fedora,
power sites, the Power Commission
usually requires that the preliminary
expenses of the company be submit
TED and appoved in advance. Re-
gardlng this the Commission has
stated that "overcharges to capital
accounts are most frequently found
In connection with the preliminary
expense preceding construction. So
frequently has this been the case
tnat 1t has been the general practice
TO require an agreement on the total
OF such preliminary charges before
licenses are issued"
