POWER INQUIRY
SH|F IS NORTH

The Federal Trade Commits
sion's' investigation of the finan-
cial activities of power companies
turned to the New England today,
with the New England Power
Association under scrutiny.
Jqdson C. Dickerman, a COM
mission engineer and examiner,
tha' first witness, testified the
New England Fspwer Association
was formed at time when out
sid de holding companies were try
ing to buy UP New England utility
companies.
The association provides 28.8
per cent of the power in New
England and LAG per cent Of all
the power in the United States.
Evidence that the association
virtually controlled all its member
companies was presented by Dick
erman, who said the holding com.
pany takes a vital part and is
a vital factor in the affairs of its
subsidiaries.

CONGRESS.
Vital Legislation Disposed OF;
Fights During Next 4e
Hours of No Consequence

Assured of nine months va
cation before the next Congress
convenes, House and Senate to,
day went through the formal mo-
tions Of legislating with all con.
troversial issues doomed in the
.48 hours remaining before ad.
journment.
Having battIed for two years
over farm relief, tariff revision,
unemployment and drought re-
lief, election contests, ihveStiga-
tiOns, conflicts with the Presi.
dent, and other forms of politics,
the fading Congress was content
to devote its final hours to
speeches, minor legislation, and
a review Of its history! 1t was
apparent no more important leg
isIatiOn would be enacted before
noon March 4.
The threat of an extra session
passed when all the necessary ap-
preparation bills were enacted
and action secured on such con-
troversial issues as drought re-
lief, Muscle Shoals, and the SOL
dierS' bonus loan act;
Court Session Avoided
Even the threat of a special
session of the Senate to consider
the World Court waSS dissipated
by Senator James e. watson, Re
publican floor leader. He told
his colleagues he had been told
by President Hoover a World
Court session of the Senate
would not be called. This as
sured Senators they could rest
for nine months, along with
members of the House.
Both House and Senate were
engaged in highly controversial
issues today, although the fights
were mere sham battles, since
neither bill is Iik$ $ly to become
a law. In the HOUSE, it was a a
measure to slash 80 per cent
from the immigration quotas for
two years while int the Senate il
was the VeStaI COPYRIGHT bill, fol
lowed by the Capp4er oil embargo
bill.
Fear Veto for 1.-Two Bills
There was great interest in tv
bills now before President Hoov'
awaiting his signature or veto
These were the N9rris Muscle
Shoals bill and the Wagner un
employment relief bi 4, the latter
proposing a new governmental
bureau to handle employment
statistics and informal Ition for tn

Both may be vetoed ant
neither can probably pass Con
gress over a veto. If the Presl
dents acts by Wednesday,, though

26S, ,232, 500 in 1893. These is
sues are callable in those years.
Program Is Abandoned
This program had to be aban-
doned because of the new
loans on bonus policies, officials
said. Prior to 1888 it was an
ticipated there would be a large
bond issue to clear the market
of more than $1,000, 100000 in
short term paper.
Under the rates at which the
Government will borrow money
to finance payment of loans on
bonus certificates. the Treasury
will make a profit of about $780,
100000 annually, provided the
total loans aggregate $1,000
100000.
Veterans must pay the Govern
ment AZ per cent interest on
their bonus loans, or 3 per cent
more than the Government is
paying for the money. Unless
the interest is paid, the value
Of the credit. left on certificates
virtually. will be wiped out before
their maturity.
The refinancing program of the
Treasury is somewhat at variance
with that described to Congress
when the Administration was Op-
posing the increased loan value
of adjusted service certificates.

Goes Into Its Final Week

VALPARAISO, Ind, March 2
(IN.SD Its last witness ready
to testify, the prosecution today
was expected to close its case
against Virgil Kirkland, on trial
for the murder of his sweetheart,
18-year-old Arlene braves.
The youthful defendant will
be placed on the stand to tell his
own story of the liquor orgy last
November 30 that brought about
the girls death, the defense an.
nOunced.
It VS. intimated that the prose
cution will produce a mystery
witness today who will tell Of
former parties of similar nature
attended by Kirkland and the
braves girl.
Kirkland and four other youths
who attended the fatal party are
charged with having assaulted
the braves girl.
AS the trial in Judge Grant
Crumpacker'S court room reached
it's concluding week Kirkland ap-
parently was approaching the
crisis with much less SeIf.pOSses-
sion than he showed at the be-
ginning.
The jury of nine farmers and
three toWnSmen observed Sunday

church, This precaution was
taken to guard against the
jurors. hearing anything prejudi-
cial to Kirkland from the pulpits.

AS amended, on mot IN of Of

that:

Other Efforts Failed
Lehlbach and Dallinger have
sought to bring up the bill under
ordinary channels of procedure in
the House for some time but
failed.
AS an eleventh-hour move it was
agreed among House leaders this
afternoon that the bill would be
given a preferred status under the
suspension of the rule calendar
and chances Of passage were re-
garded as most excellent.
Backed strongly by labor inter

of President Hoover decided that
the enactment of the measure
ought to be delayed for at least
another year

!. 49, Too Many Dealers
= Pointing out that the retail
prices of meat have reflected the
lower price received by the pro-
ducer and the packer on a cents
per pound basis, the committee
finds, however, that the percent
/. age of decrease in the retail price
is materially less.
This is due, it is said, to the
fixed charges of distribution, to
the reduction in consumption and
the large increase in the number
of dealers handling meat. The
committee
: Does not find that such a

Morgan Gets Nod
Over Sammy Santos

Six hundred Filipinos and few
score other fans voiced disapproval
of a decision Wednesday night giving
Tod Morgan a win from Sammy
Santos at the end of their six-round
battle at the Civic Arena. They had
a right to stage the hullabaloo for
he worst Santos should have received
was a draw. The Filipino light
weight was just as aggressive as the
former junior champion, and his
blows carried more damage. Morgan
had a shade in only the first and
second rounds. After these were
over, it was all Santos. He bunged
up Tod's eye and in the final canto
made the former champion buckle
up and hold on. Morgan, by far the
cleverest boxer, had all he could do
to keep out of range of Santos
X. o. punch which the Filipino tried
to put over at every opportunity.
Ray McQuillan, colored weller, and
Cecil Geysel went six uninterestine
rounds in the semi-final. McQuillan
didn't extend himself and fought as
though he was nursing Geysel along.
