GIANT POWER TUBE
LAUNCHED IN GULF
Cold Water to Be Drawn
From Depths to MingIe With
Warmer Stream.
Rr the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MATANZAS, Cuba, September g.
Prof. Georges Claude, French scientist,
expected today to proceed at once with
development of his scheme to procucc
inexpensive power from the Gulf Stream.
Elated at success finally Of launching
his 5,OOO-foot, 6-foot- diameter tube TO
draw cold water from the depths be-
low the Gulf Stream, he expected lit
tie further difficulty to attach TO his
million dollar experiment in practical
physics.
The tube, probably the most expen-
sive part Of the power project, was
slipped into the water on this port
Sunday, after two previous attempts
had failed because, Prof. Claude
charged OF sabotage by interests OPP
posed to his idea.
A dozen tugboats, government de-
Stroyer, two companies of troops and
squads of provincial police assisted in
the gigantic task. The tugs lined the
apparatus to keep it from curving and
breaking In the Gulf Stream until the
two cables keeping it on the surface
were cut and 1t slipped to the bottom
Of the ocean.
1t is Prof. Claude's scheme to draw
cold water from the bottom to the sur
face of the Gulf Stream, vaporize it by
submitting 1t to vacuum, using the re-
sulting steam to operate a turbine and
IN turn condensing the steam again to
maintain the vacuum.
He has the backing of the French
Academy of Science and the Cuban
government in the venture.

ROVER TO PROSECUTE
DENISON RULING APPEAL

Justice department. Authorizes
Fight in Case of Representative
Accused of Liquor Possession.
The Department of Justice has au-
thorized United States Attorney Leo
A. Rover to prosecute the Governments
appeal to the District Court of Appeals
from the decision of Justice Peyton
Gordon of the District Supreme Court
sustaining the demurrer of Edward Z.
Denison, Representative from Illinois,
10 an indictment charging him with
possession of a trunk containing liquor
at his office in the House Office Build
ing in January, 1929. Gordon held
that the Indictment was not good be-
cause 1t failed to meet the constitu-
ttonal requirements to inform the ac-
cused specifically so that he might
plead an acquittal of the charge as a
bar to similar indictment.
The indictment is in a few lines and
merely charges that the Representative
was in possession Of liquor on a specific
date in January, 1929. Rover. in asking
permission to appeal pointed out that
every indictment reported by the grand
Jury In case for sale of liquor has
q possession count In the identical
language to which Justice Gordon took
exception.
The charge against Denison grew out
OF the discovery Of leaking suitcase
at Union Station.

American President to be overthrown
within 10 weeks by revolutions brought
to head by student uprisings.
The serious attention which is given
by South American governments, news

student strikes and the participation of
ctudents in political demonstrations is
utterly beyond the comprehension OF
the Anglo Saxon mind.
Students Overthrow Siles.
The overthrow of Dr., fernando Siles
in Bolivia is traceable directly to a stu
dent uprising three years ago.
Encouraged by the Succ of the Bo-
livian revolution, Peruvian students
started hostile demonstrations against
Augusta B. Leguia. Energetic police
measures, which were necessary to QueH
the demonstrations, brought to crisis
the political opposition and eventually
led to a military and civil revolution
which deposed Leguia and placed him
under arrest on San Lorenzo Island.
The Argentine political crisis was
quieting down and the situation ap-
peared to be on its way to returning
to normal. when students began street
demonstrations, at which they de-
manded Irigoyen's resignation. The
killing of student and the wounding
of several others during demons:ra-
ton which threatened to storm the
presidential palace caused the explosion
of public wrath, which got beyond gov
eminent control and brought about a
military and civil revolution two days

so young that in any but the Latin
countries they would be spanked and

In Buenos Aires students were plainly
looking for trouble. They shouted most
insulting phrases against Irigoyen and
the government. Student orators de-
livered wild harangues, melting revolu-
ton, which elsewhere would have put
them behind the bars for treason. Here
their utterances were published at
length in the most conservative dailies.

which devoted long editorials to praise
of student activities and speeches.
AT La Paz student federation sent
a note to the military junta, demanding
that students be given two seats on the
political committee which was to select
the coalition candidate for the presi-
dental elections.
While Daniel Salamanca. now presi-
Dental candidate in Bolivia, was being
given an ovation upon his arrival in
La Paz a student orator butted into the
program from hotel balcony, adjoin-
ing the one on which Salamanca was
acknowledging the plaudits of street
crowds, and warned him that the revo-
luton was not terminated and that 1t
would not be terminated until the ideals
for which STUDENT blood had been spilled
were realized.
Crowd Cheers Student.
The crowd cheered the student
speaker until 1t was hoarSe and the
newspapers gave as much space to his
appearance as they did to Salamanca's
arrival.
What is difiicult to understand Is how
students get away with so many things.

"You and your associates brought
out what you have long known and
tried to correct, to wit, that you have
not money enough and force enough TO
do all the things which should be done
if the public is to have full protection
against adulteration, substitution and
fraud" he told Mr.. Campbell.
Sees Need of Increase in Funds.
at is perfectly clear to me that the
appropriations for your division must
be increased You must have a large
force to accomplish everything you
desire and everything which you are
capable of accomplishing If you have
this force"
Senator Copeland gave assurance
that Congress, knowing all the facts,
would not hesitate to provide ample
funds.
The evidence presented to the COM
mittee, he pointed out, showed that the
regulatory division of the department
has been tremendously alert" in in
quiring into questionable commercial
practices and following up the source
Of every suspicion of wrong doing.
