Cathedral, Frankfort, Germany.

Frankfort the Franken Furth or Ford
of the Franks, as 1t was known in the
time Of Charlemagne, owes its ancient
celebrity in part to the GROWING Of the
emperors, which took place here for
many years. The first historical men
ton Of the city was in 1874, when
Charlemagne concoked a diet and a
council of the church. The city suf-
fered greatly during the Thirty Years
War, in the War Of the Succession, and
in the Revolution of 1893 Napoleon
made the city grand duchy in favor
of the Prince-Primate Charles Of Dali
berg.
Its cathedral is dedicated to. ST.
Bartholomew and, though begun under
the Carlovingians, was completed only
In the fourteenth century. It Is domi-
mated by the colossal tower, which ranks
as one Of the latest and most notable
pure Gothic works in Germany Q415-
5000. Its architect was the famous
John of Etlingen and 1t rises to height
Of 1853 feet. The general plan Of the
church is that of Greek cross, but
the termination which holds the choir
Is of much narrower dimensions than
the other three arms.
The facade boasts but little merit and
the lateral portal, on the south, Is much
encountered by surrounding structures,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-05

though one sees peeping out here and
there evidences Of q series OF finely
sculptured figures. Above the entrance
to the cloister Is an equestrian statue
of st. Bartholomew, master work OF
sixteenth century German sculpture.
The skull Of the apostle is preserved In
the church proper.
The grand nave contains fine
"ecce homo" in bas-relief placed upon
the tomb Of Consul Hirde, who died In
1918. Unfortunately, however, the heads
of many of the figures. including that
of Christ, are badly SCARED and broken.
In the right transept are series OF
very ancient German paintings and a
number of escutcheonS, colored and In
high relief, concentrating benefactors
of the church. The walls in the choir
are covered with ancient frescoes Of the
frankly German school. They date back
to the fourteenth and fifteenth centu-
ries.
At the right Of the choir is the tomb
of the Emperor Gunther Won Schwartz
burg, who died here in 1349, and in
the left transept Is that Of a knight
Of Sachsenhausen, bearing the date OF
1871. Here. too, Is somewhat dis
mantled and fragmentary astronomical
clock of the species best seen at Strass-
burg.

REFUSES
TO ACT
By WIN. K. HUTCHINSON

=
Administration leaders in the
new Congress have decided to
block all legislation introduced
to curb speculation on Wall
Street or to cut the total Of
speculative loans.
In the Senate, Senator Watson
R.l of Indiana, the majority leader,
along with such administration
spokesnlen as Senator Smoot Q2.1
of Utah, and Fess tEi.) Of Ohio. de-
clared against any legislative tam
pering with the New York Stock
Exchange during the coming short
session. In the House, Speaker
Longworth R) OF Ohio: and Repre-,
sentative TiIson lR.l Of Connecticut.
the majority leader. have decided
TO prevent organization OF the
House Banking and Currency Com
mittee. thus killing OF all legisla-
ton affecting banks or the stock
exchange.
Fear OF Panic
This decision was reached by the
Republican leaders at both ends of
the Capitol for two reasons. First,
they do not wish protracted
legislative fight over stock specuia-
ton to disrupt their present legisla-
tive program and thereby possibly
defeat either the farm relief or the
tariff revision bills.
Second, they fear Congressional
tinkering with the stock exchange
or efforts to control America 8
money supply at this time might
precipitate a panic. with disas-
ferrous political results to the
Hoover Administration.
There will be no legislation
affecting the stock exchange"
Senator Watson told international
News Service. How can we legis-
late to halt speculation? We can't
do it. Speculation will 20 on just
the same. And besides what right
has the Federal Reserve Board to
regulate stock buying? It's efforts
have resulted disasterousIy as re.
ports from the midwest revealed a
higher interest rate out there to
parallel the high call money rates
on Wall Street. 1t is too dangerous
situation for legislative expert.
ments or Governmental interference
on one side or the other. A panic
might easily result If we attempted
an experiment at this time
Education the Remedy
Administration leaders like Smoot
and Fess were said TO feel that
Congress could not remedy the
speculative situation enacting new
laws.
These Administration spokesmen
were said to feel campaign of
education such as has been in
itiated by the Federal Reserve
Board might be the only immediate
remedy. This campaign should he
aimed at convincing banks through
out the country that their patritoic
duty consisted in keeping their
surplus funds at home for local
needs. To attempt to achieve this
result by law. they were said to
feel. aside from its probable
unconstitutionality could lead to
widespread financial chaos.
Who can tell what is speculation
and what is investments" One
senator demanded. who shall we
give the power to to decide that
question? 1t might be said that
the man who borrows money at a
bank to start new factory is
specializing.
