Hoover Will
Occupy Penney
Estate In Florida

president-elect Herbert Hoover will
set up his residence for the two
months between his return from the
South American trip and March 4th,
the date of his Inauguration, in the
Belle Isle home of j. G. Penney at
Miami Beach, Florida.
Decision Is use this beautiful estate
was reached by Laurence Richey, per-
sonal representative of Mr.. Hoover, IN
Miami this week after an inspection
of several estates which had been
offered. The south end Of Belle Isle
will be turned over to the Hoover
party, with rooms for guests and &C
conmodations for the press being
furnished in the home of Joseph II.
baams, adjacent to the Penney prop
erty.
This will be the first time that
a republican president-elect has ever
spent his pre-inauguration vacation
in tho democratic South, for Florida,
carried in the republican columns in
the presidential election, is still DEM
ocratic by large figure in state poll
tics.
The visit is looked upon as one OF
especial significance at the present
time. Mr.. Penney is nationally known
for his interest in agriculture and
stock breeding. During the summer
and late fall months Of this year he
made en- extended trip covering IA
states In the central West and along
the Pacific coast exhibiting purebred
Guernsey cattle and talking on agri-
cultural conditions.
In addition to his dairy cattle, he
Is breeder Of Berkshire hogs and
Hampshire sheep. In Florida, just
south OF Jacksonville, he is develop
ing the town of Penney Farms,
around an agricultural development
covering 10000 acres. Ownership OF
the 20 acre farms in this development
is based on a cooperative partner
shin arrangement after the resident
farmer has proved his ability to farm
the acres under his control.
Mr.. Penney rendered the use OF
his Miami home to the president
elect just following the election on
November 6, making a trip from
Portland, Ore, to Palo Alto to visit
Mr.. Hoover at his home.

Service Body Sets Out Four
Questions for Adjust
ment.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY

Legality OF the entire $40 100000
insult utility merger plan was queS-
toned today and ruling asked of At
torney-General James M. Ogden.
Hearing on the merger petition
is scheduled before the public serv-
ice commission Dec. 2. Commits
sioner Calvin Mcintosh wrote the
letter to Ogden asking for an
opinion regarding it's legality. He
set out four points upon which
Ogden will rule:
l. Does the public service COM
mission have any legal authority in
mergers other than that conferred
by Section 9515 of the public Serv-
ice commission act? CThe Spencer
Shivelyl law0
2. Would that authorize merging
transmission lines, ice plants, heat
ing plants, gas plants and bus lines
into one merging corporation?
'Doing Business" Questioned
3. Does doing business in the
same municipality or locality within
this state" permit merging of prop
critics from Edwardsport to Gary
and from Terre Haute to Rich
mond?
4. What Is the restraining effect
of the law which says that transpor-
tation utilities to be merged must
be those whose lines intersect or
parallel each other within this
state?"
All these questions are based on
the opening paragraph of Section
9515, which reads as follows:
with the consent and approval
of the commission and with author
ity of their stockholders as herein
provided, but not otherwise, any two
or more public utilities furnishing
a like service or product and doing
business in the same municipality
or locality within this state, or any
two or more public utilities whose
lines intersect or parallel each
other within this state, may be
merged and may enter into con-
tracts with each other which will
enable such public utilities to oper-
ate their plants or lines in connec-
ton with each other"
Promises Reply
Ogden announced that he had
turned the matter over to George
w. Hufsmith, deputy attorney
general in charge of utility cases,
and an answer would be made to
Mcintosh within a few days.
Hufsmith took over the utiIit5
cases upon retirement of Samuel
Artman, former public service COM
missioner, from the utilities deputy
ship in Ogdens Office. The berth
had been created for Artman and
narrowly averted being wiped out by
the 1929 legislature.
Properties involved in the pro-
posed giant insult merger serve 344
communities in the state. Included
not only are transmission lines and
electric railways, but gas plants,
heating plants, water companies, ice
plants and bus lines.

Congress Likely to Dem0nd
Accounting of Funds
for Enforcement.
INDICT ILLINOIS S0L0N
Action Comes After Agents
Find Leaking Suitcase
in R. R. Station.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Prohi-
bition was brought back to the CEN
ter of CO.. -~essional discussion to-
day by the Volstead law indictment
of representative Edward Everett
Denison (Rep., I'D and the report
of Secretary Mellon that his Spe-
cially-added enforcement funds
brought better investigation, but
fewer arrests.
House and senate leaders antici-
pated that, in addition to agitation
for still larger enforcement appro-
priations. Congress, in its regular
session starting Dec. 2, would take
up a resolution providing an in
vestigation of President Hooyer's
plan to transfer prohibition enforce
ment from the treasury to the JUS
tice department.
Promises Investigation
Senator Harris Dem., Ga.) whose
proposal for a $25,000,000 prohibi
tion enforcement fund was passed
by the senate last winter and later
killed, said he would investigate
carefully Secretary Melons report
on what he did with the $3,650000
additional given this year for this
purpose.
Indictment of Denison, on a
charge of violating law for which
he himself voted, the VolStead act,
caused amaZement at the capitol.
His past record was 100 per cent
dry.
The indictment, resulting from
discovery by prohibition agents of
suitcase leaking liquor in the
union station here last Jan. 10, and
subsequent discovery of a trunk con-
tanning liquor in Denison's Office,
was voted on request of the federal
prohibition bureau.
Served at Secretary
John Layne, indicted with Deni-
son, on a similar charge of posses
sion, was his secretary five or six
years ago. Denison, now return
ing from his home in Marion, ILL.,, to
face the charge, just had concluded
a congressional trip to Panama
when the liquor incident occurred.
The Volsead act carries a maxi
mum penalty of six months in pris-
on and a fine, although first Of
tenders in the District of Columbia
usually merely are fined.
