Oh. cescI Win Idea

Denver. Colo. Sept. IS LP-S. D, Crump of Denver. attorney for (. D, Waggoner, president of the Bank of Telluride, Colo. under arrest on a charge of defraudng six Ne" York banks of $500,0 said in a statement today that his client, Ob- sessed with but one idca-to protect his friends and ncighbors-had "Ee- come a confirmed paranoiac' as the result of worry over the condition Of his bank.
 The attorney who gave his version of Waggoncr's condition after ques- ,ioning him for many hours, said the banker still believe he did the right thing.
 "Waegoner came 10 Telluride 33 years ago" Crump's statement said "After years of labor he built up a banking institution. in what was at that time thriving mining camp Surrounded by prosperous grazing and stock ranches. During the near panic of 1907, Waggoners bank was so strong that he was able 10 ship to urban banks gold coin in large amounts, reaching at times into SIX figures, and this at time when many banks were closed and many more refused to pay out cash. He kept q large balance at these city banks his business was sought as d valuable asset. He built up dcpos- it's exceeding one and one half mil lion dollars. and had loans aggregat- ing more than $1,00o, ,000 secured by what in those times were regarded as gilt edged securities. When the slump came after the world war ln- tfation, good scuri;ics were not so good.
 Mines Being Closed
 "Mines were being closed, the cattle industry suffered severely and collections became exceedingly diff cult. Then came a time when, in. stead of loaning money, the bank was compelled to borrow.
 "Waggoner saw the financial storm gathering ahead of him, un- less he could secure more funds tC tide him over. He rated himself tc be worth, including a $200,O0O de posit in the bank, of his own better than a half million dollars. He be. came obsessed with one idea, to pro tect his friends and neighbOrs of ( third of century. That became hi. sole mission in life. He spent many weeks in New York and in Denver in an effort 10 secure loans, and he was denied a $500,00O loan at q bank where he had carried large balances for years"
 Waggoner sought to raise funds for his bank by inst ring his life fol S30OO00, the attorney said, and bS using that insurance as security fol loans, without success. And 'ht thought if he could ride the Cresr a few more months he could pro. tect everybody and his thought thcr was if he could keep the bank oper until the suicide clause in the policy had expired. there would bc one las resort to save his friends and neigh bors."

PR0GRAN COMMUNITY CHURCH
 SACRED, HEAUTFuL

! Sacred and beautiful, appeal ing both to the ear and the eye, was the Christmas program rendered at the Community church, In which, by means of tableaux, the birth of the Christ was depicted.
 Against a white backdrop, on
 which flashed various pictures which the Savior knew as a boy, the 15-tableaux were enacted, the scenes being of Bethlehem and the immediate countryside. The children of the Community Sunday school acted as the char acters. First, the prophecy; then followed the tableauK of the An- nuciation, the tableaux of the pilgrimage to Bethlehem; the watching shepherds; the appear ance of the angels; the pilgrim age Of the Three Wise Men, and finally, all the then known world worshipping the Devine Baby.
 Through it all, one preceived the exquisite beauty of this, the sweetest story ever told, and the little actors and actresses seemed to feel the spirit of the theme deeply, for they enacted their parts with the solemnity and def- erence due them Especially beaut- iful, and adding greatly to the occasion, was the singing of the choir; this was composed of Miss Dorothy Hill, Mrs. Reisner, Mr Kuhler, F. Q. McMullen and Miss Edith Kaemmer, organist. Never did Christmas carols seem sweet er and more holy than when sung during the enactment of the tableaux of the Nativity. MT. Kuhler's solo, live Three Kings of the Orient Are', was high spot of beauty, in an evening of beauty
 Clara Skinner Was reader, and interpreted the various scenes in clear. understanding voice, which could be heard plainly throughout the congregation MI. Walters was electrician, and op- erated the moving picture mach inc, which added much to hte OCH casion by flashing the scenes on the screen
 The credit for carrying this beautiful series of tableaux to such a successful completion is due to Reverend and Mrs. Reis- ner Both had their hearts and souls in the work. and their ef- forts were well justified. It is saldim that one gets to see such lovely treatment of the .fsweet- est story ever told' and ali thanks and credit are entirely due to this charming couple.

XXTASHINGTON, April 3.-No
wv American citizen ever was
more pleased with new job than
President Herbert Hoover.
1t is just month since March
4. when he took over his new job
and he is working at it with a
joyful zest and a serene conf
dence-as if a mans worries end
ed, rather than merely began,
after his Inauguration.
The man in the White House is
a Hoover very different from the
candidate Hoover of last fall.
Candidate Hoover seemed rather
nervous. His gaze was shifty. He
spoke jerkily and, in the presence
of groups seldom appeared a
ease. Many thought he was
easily frightened by adverse poll
cal developments.
President Hoover isn't like that
at all. President Hoover keeps
his chin in the air. He speaks
easily and smoothly, with tinge
Of confident aggressiveneSS. The
old statement that Hoover was
'timid" is not heard any more.
THAT is the noticeable change
L in Hoover during his first
month in Office. Otherwise he
has not changed at all. His duties
are not the same, but his routine
and habits of life are almost iden-
teal.
And he has stepped into the
duties-one of his secretaries says
las if he had been President all
his life"
There must, however, always be
certain new conditions inherent to
the presidency and bound to an
nov any new President. Try as
he may, Hoover will be unable to
avoid the glazing spotlight OF ma
tional popular interest.
His slightest motion today is
matter of news; only ingenuity
can keep it secret. Figuratively
speaking, the White House is a
house of glass,

properly staged, the spectacle

ly becomes news.

Contentious on Three
Points.
TAKEN TO STATE BODY
Service Commission Urged
to Change Depletion
Figure and Rates.

BB Times SDectIt
GREENSBURG, Ind, April "a
group of Greensburg residents in
Guiding Cort Ray and Frank Walker
have opened fight on three points
against the Hoosier Gas and Light
Company, which absorbed the Zoller
Gas Company, which formerly sup
piled this city, at time when sew
eral companies in this field we're
taken over.
John E. Osborn, local attorney
and counsel for the group, has filed
a brief with the public service COM
mission, in which the three points
are listed. They are based on val
uation adopted for calculation of
depletion, the rate adopted for de-
pletion and the rate for gas users.
Wide Variance in Figures
The petition declares that despite
basis set by the commissions &C
counting department at Sl53,929 for
depletion, the petition asks that the
figure be s40o,JJ0, although all
property of the company is valued at
only $521 900. Even the accounting
departments figure would be excess
Sive. it is declared
According to the petition, the
utility is asking the enormous rate"
OF depletion of 1922 per cent a
year in the face of an estimate of
10 per cent by the commissions en-
gineer, H. w. Wenger. The object
ors assert ) per cent would be a
fair rate.
Show Return on Low Rate
Going into the history of the local
gas field, DIRECTORS declare the FOL
Ter company started with 15-cent
rate to consumers and at that fig
ure retired the original capital in
vested, developed the field, met OPP
Grating expenses and at times paid
an annual dividend on stock as high
as 40 per cent.
The HooSier company asks a To-
cent rate, on a sliding scale basis,
with larger consumers getting gas
at a reduced rate. The petition
asks that one rate be adopted, de-
claring: There is no reason that
we can see why the large consumer
should be given an advantage and
benefit over the lesser consumer
from the standpoint of rates. There
would be no more reason for such
a distinction than for the legis-
lature to make a distinction in gas
cline tax as between the small con-
sumers and the large consumers"
