WHARF RATS
TOLOSE HOMES
ON RIVER FRONT
New Orleans Shacks to Be
Destroyed Because of
Fire Hazard.

By United Press
NEW ORLEANS, April 16.-
Wharf rats" and beachcombers
here will have to look elsewhere
than the understructIres of New
orleans Wharves for rendezvous or
shelter.
Because of three disastrous dock
fires in the past month, harbor po-
lice have been ordered to destroy
all shacks and lean-tos where live
the furtive men who make their
living from wharf refuse and river
fishing.
Fight Over Treasure
Iikened to the denizens of Paris
sewers, these human scavengers
easily are recognized by those
familiar with the New Orleans river
front. For the most part harmless,
they nevertheless cause fire haz-
ard through smoking at night, and
during the winter through building
small fires for warmth.
In the daytime they ply in their
shffs along the rivers edge, here
snatching in a part Of fruit boat
CONSIGNMENT lost in unloading, there
fighting over a Grated box bobbing
with the current.
Jackson Square, the riyerfront
paradise, knows them. On balmy
DAYS they come to sun themselves
or to dry out their clothing wet in
a recent upset.
Police are Tolerant
Then with the night they vanish.
Once the packed wharveS were their
prey. Now, few attempts to steal
from the giant structures that give
them shelter, preferring the less
risky livelihood cleaned from the
old man river.
Between them and the dock po-
lice a live-and- Iet-Iive attitude had
developed previous to the three
fires. Even after the order had been
given to destroy their "hOmes," the
dock police hesitated.
"Those poor devils are harmless"
said one member of the police pa
troll. I'm glad it's spring, any
how, for they'd have a hard time
in the winter, without those hang
outs"

Horne Of the commission disclosed
the manner in which a small group
of men have controlled for years
the affairs of the organization.
Nine of the sixteen directors Of

BIZ Scripps-HOUard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Facts
which the Electric Bond and Share
Company has tried FOR TWO years to
keep from the public have been
disclosed by the federal trade COM
Mission in the past two days.
they reveal this greatest of the
utility holding companies as an in
duStrIal giant reaching into tWen-
ty-Six different states and twelve
foreign countries.
They show that it controls sixty
three different companies. forty
to CT Jhem gas ana electric com
PANE, the Oouer5 water, zee, street
railway and bus companies, while
it has investments, also, in banks
and insurance companies and other
businesses.
They disclose 2,101,0 consumers
buying electricity and gas from
bond and share companies, and
paying therefore $228,0O0,O00 in
single year.
MAKES big FTOuL
Electric Bond and Share has been
making at least 1O5 per cent profit
on the fees it charges its subsidiary
companies for construction, en-
cheering and other services, accord
ing to economists Of federal trade
commission, who have been exam
ming what records OF the company
they could secure for months past.
JudSon d. Dickerman, one of the
commissions experts, has testified
that in 1927 the company charged
1898, 900 for such services. Its en-
tire running expense was $6,613,000,
of which not more than $4,563 900
could have been servicing expenses.
This left a minimum profit of $4,-
100000, which Dickerman said he
believed was understated.
Collect Expenses, Also
Construction fees and construc-
ton supervising fees very largely
are clear profits" Dickerman found,
since the companies collect any ex-
penses they incur in addition to
their fees.
The Bond and Shares security
investments amount to 1925, 200, 900,
the record shows.

 CONTINUES STUDIES

Today, Seward loses a young man who is going to De missed one who has added much pleasure to the community during his stay of one year here- M. B Kuhler.
 He boards the s. s. Aleutian for Seattle this evening and will spend the next two months there and at Tacoma then goes east to Sioux City, Iowa where he will teach penmanship and direct chorus and glee clubs in one of the Junior high schools.
 MT Kuhler, who has resigned from the Seward school staff, de- clares he enjoyed his work here very much and hates leaving the many good friends he has made, but he sees more of a future in the larger system Sioux City has one of the best school systems in the entire state and he will, aside from his school activities, contin- ue study of Tocal music, as well as orchestration. His vocal work here has been enjoyed thoroughly by his scores of appreciative aud fences; a decidedly marked i'm provement has been noticed in his vocal selections, evidence of his unflagging zeal and persever- ance toward realizing his ambition. tion.
 But of all those who will miss the popular young man will be his former pupils who hold for him the highest regard The best wishes of all go with him.

REAPING THE WHIRLWIND

A holocaust in the Ohio Penitentary snufs out more than hundred lives
 A few days ago the Department of Justice cautioned pause in too rigid law enforcement lest the iais and pententia1ies of the nation are overtaxed.
 Did nature seek to evolve 3 problem that had passed heyond the powers of the nation . And what answer can those who are daily grinding out more repressve laws give to the second observation with respect to overcrowdng jas? aA
 It would De interesting to know the nature of the cTllnes for which the 13O who were cremated had been convicted off were they crimes coming under the common aN With It's origin n the Bible or were they statutes dealing with personal privileges conditions growing out of this effort of moral refomers to order mems private lives with statutes?
 Either we are the most depraved lawess and vicious nation on earth made through the multiple laws pouring from the legislative mills of the nation ranging all the way from the tank down municipality to tthe cap ol at Washington, Until analysis segregates the two positions and allows of clarity of understanding with respect to and effect the entire question of over- plus of what is called criminaty remains couded in ob sculitv.
 1t seems about time to take an inventory and deter mlne the underlying for all this alleged cIminaity Y appears to be of personal group opinion than an outbuEst of vicious tendencies
 We boast of being the most progressive and prosper ous nation on earth
 It is apparent thtat what once defined as crimi- nal law, dealing with the safety of life and property has been translated into something entirely different Old customs under which advanced spiritually and mater tally appear to have given way for the egosm of groups Who consider difference ot opnlon lust warning for imposing further restrictions upon society and it's eth cal relations.
 That old history the Bible says And false prophets shall arise The difficulty nowadays is to determine which is the false and which stands the test of time If the conditions now apparent in prison overcrowdng re- sutng in such catasrophies as that in Ohio is thing capable of being solved only by further mandates it seems that the false teachers displayed in their most glarng light there appears rift in the sombre hoi- 7on as result of this test of laws of suppression of a most every natural impulse affectinp the individual
 The slogan, following the world war was: Get back 10 normalcy It dealt with re-establshment of business isn't It about time to resurrec the slogan and apply to socety as regards striking off the abnormal influence that creating the conditions complained of by the De- partment of Justice? Maybe it will not be necessary to further burden the taxpayers with appropriations for larger prisons; many of them might be empted if only Vlolators of the common law restrained
