HARMONY MADE
A 7 STANFORD
Seek To Patch Breach In
d. A. r. And at Uni
versity

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, PA.
LO fhTO, Calf, May 16. UP)-
Leaders of conflicting factions
made ovcrturcs for harmony today
to quiet the turmoil occasioned by
resignation of II women from the
Palo Alto chapter of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, and
the editorial in the Stanford Daily
attacking "Milita'rism at Stanford" /"
Mrs. Theodore j. Hoover, sister in
law of President Hoover, who was
recently defeated by 81 votes in the
national election for vice president
at large in the ID. A. r., issued an
appeal for remaining members of
the local organization to hold their
groups together. She did not take
issue with those who had resigned
group headed by Mrs David Starr
Jordan, wife of Stanford's chancel-
lor emeritus.
At the same time Robert T..
Swain. who has been acting presi-
dent of the university since Secre-
tary of the Interior Ray Lyman
Wilbur accepted his cabinet post,
was conducting an investigation of
the editorial.
The editorial, written by Robert
d. Specrs, a senior, took exception
to statements in syllabus used by
students of the school of mining
which was prepared by their dean,
Theodore Hoover. One sentence said
"The human race develops by war
and succeeds by war in proportion
to its use of metal; races perish in
peace"
Speers remarked in his editorial
that the statements were "shockii
in an American university where
men and women were supposed to
think in terms of humanity"
A statement issued by Swain was
interpreted in various ways on the
campus today, students still anxi-
ously awaiting completion of an in
vestigation which might result in an
adverse ruling for Speers.

Then while one of them kept the

Finds Relief
in the New
Herb Extract
SkeIptical
at First
Now a
Great
Booster

A few months ago If any one had
told my husband that this medicine
would help him, he would have
laughed at them, in fact I had a
hard time getting him to try the first
bottle, but today he is a great booster
for Miller's Herb Extract formerly
called Herb juice. For the past five
years he had been going down in
health, medicines he used seemed to
help him for only short time and
he at last said he was not going to
try anything more as nothing seemed
to do him any good He was in a
general rundown condition and I
worried about him all the time. He
complained of pains in the side, in
fact all through his body, suffered
With his stomach, bilious attacks
and chronic constipation. I saw so
much in the papers about this med
iclne that felt sure it was going to
help him, so kept after him until
he said, well, will give it a trial.
Now he says it is the greatest medi-
cine he ever used and knows it has
done for him what no other remedy
could do. He no longer complains
OF any aches or pains, food he eats
agrees with him, he has gained in
strength and seems like a different
person. looks better in every way
than he has for years. Only today
he said, be sure and get me another
bottle of Miller's Herb Extract as it
is the one medicine can depend on.

RAILROAD OWNERS
ITO Be SOUGHT OUT
House Probe Held Necessary
Preliminary to Merger

Investigation of railroad holding

man Parker to begin early next month.
with members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission as the f1rst W.T.
nesses.
The procedure under which the in
vestigation is to be conducted Is being
formulated by DR.. w. M. W. spawn,
special counsel retained to direct the
technical phases of the inquiry.
The commission officials are to be
heard first, Parker said, in order 10
lay the ground work for the investiga-
ton which is to be made to ascertain
the true ownership of the railroaos,
with a view to formulating legislation
which would bring the holding COM
panies under the Jurisdiction OF the
commission. This is necessary, he con-
tinued. before the committee coulu
formulate legislation to bring about the
consolidation of the railroads.
Blind Legislation Futile.
'It would be futile" Parker said, "for
this committee to recommend enact
n1ert by Congress of legislation to bring
pbout consolidation of the railroads
wnsn we do not know who owns the
railroads The investigation was not
authorized with the view OF deteTrnln-
ing whether there was anything illegal
in the formation of these holding COM
psnies. because it is realized that these
big corporations would not knowingly
go beyond the law. However Things
that are lawful at one time sometimes
become unlawful after leglslaIlon aIlecC-
ing them is passed"
He explained the inquiry also wouio
be directed into the States to learn the
decisions of the courts under state laws
and how the different State commits
sions have dealt with the holding COM
panies within their jurisdiction. After
this information is filed with that o.
the House interstate commerce commit
tee representatives of the railroads con-
trolled by holding companies are TO ot
called to explain the different connec-
lions and whether the board of directors
of different railroads are interlocklng.

its survey looking to the consolidation
of the 500 railroads of the country
into 81 great systems, that it had beer
unable to ascertain who actually owned
and controlled these railroads.
Wide Transportation Assured.
The purpose of the consolidation. he
explained, was to link the weak lines
with the big systems in order to insure

He added that many small lines hac
been operating without making profit
and said that many of them were
barely making operating expenses"
The small lines are necessary, ne
