he for many years received any salary

Charges Rival Promotion.
The suit alleges that the Star and
its officers had attempted to organize
competitive company to furnish
natural gas in the Kansas City ter
ritory "in order to make them appear
as the champions of the people and in
order to injure and destroy" Doherty's
concerns.
Mr.. Adams declined to identify the
company, but said he expected to bring
cut facts concerning it at the trial.
The Star has retained James A. Reed,
former United States Senator. in addi-
ton to its regular counsel, to defend
the suit.
with denial last week of request
by Gov. Woodring for a reduction OF 10
cents in the city gas rate OF 40 cents

partment withdrew approval OF all curb

that he would file suit against the news

Commission for information as to the

Star Comments on Suit.
Commenting upon the suit, the Star
said, in part:
1T is common tactics to bring libel
suits in order to bluff off aggressive
newspapers that are fighting the pub
lies battles. The purpose is by in
limitation to divert attention from the
real issues.
In the controversy with the Doherty
gas interests the Star has just one pur-
pose. That is to get fair gas rates for
domestic consumes in the cities of
Kansas and Missouri.
"Doherty's insinuation that the Star
or any of its executives has any finan-
cial interest in some competing COM
pany is prsposterous and untrue"

lief that he would agree to be a can

Meantime the Jewish Telegraphic

feet that 'the mandatory power shall
not hinder the Jewish work leading to
Jewish majority"
For Modified Resolution.
The agency says the Labor delegates
and Dr. Weizmann would support a
modified form of that resolution. but
the revisionists, supported by part of
the American delegation, oppose it.
Creation of economic corporations, to
be established in every country to stimu-

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Elections Committee was
asked today by j. Thomas Heflin, for
mer Senator from Alabama, to declare
void the Democratic primary in Ala
bama which nominated John H. Bank
head, Senator-elect.
Horace C. Wilkinson presented the
lengthy argument for Helm before the
committee, which is considering Helms
contest against Bankheads election.
Wilkinson commended the action of
the Democratic State Central Com
mitt9e in barring Heflin from the 1890
Democratic senatorial primary for his
failure to support the candidacy of
Alfred E. Smith for President, was in
violation of the Alabama law and there
fore void.
AS a result, Wilkinson insisted that
Bankhesds nomination was illegal and
therefore Heflin was the only legal can
didate in the last election.

left the main highway. Mr.. Hoover
fished with boots on in stream, caught
a number of trout and had an enjoyable
time in every particular. Mrs. Hoover
and the other ladies of the party
hiked over the mountains part of the
time and the rest of the time set on
the banks of the stream admiring the
fishing prowess of the men OF the
party.
Fishing Details Surprise.
It was a glorious moment.
The President was away from the
turmoil of the Capital and was relaxing
in the open while removed from the
crying eyes of the public and the snoop-
ing of reporters. Peculiarly enough he
was represented as being sstounded
when he read complete detailed &C
count of his fishing andSbther activities
of the camp visit in the newspapers the
following day. These news stories had
the exact number and size of the fish
he caught: the fact that he plowed
through the stream in hip boots in his
quest for the trout.
At once he suspected the Secret
Service, but an investigation brought
no results. The truth about the news
source was that one of the natives, who
was permitted to join the party, ana
who left the camp before the President
ial party, very readily told the whole
story to the waiting newspaper men
at the end of the road. The newspaper
men on this occasion, when they
learned that the Secret Service men
were being investigated. told enough
without revealing the identity of the
news source, to exonerate the Secret
Service men under suspicion.
like other Presidents, Mr.. Hoover
has endeavored to keep his private life
in the White House as much as possible
from the public gaze. He Is by no
means an exception in resenting the
publication of what he considers inti-
mate stories regarding his private lie In
the White House or at his fishing camp.
The only exception to this form OF re-
sentiment in recent years was PRESIDENT
Coolidge. who while he marveled at the
way in which certain White House in
cidents found their way into print. was
more generally amused and invariably
expressed interest over the tactics used
By the reporters to get them.
Draft News Rules.
Newsrauer men in washington today
are naturally puzzled IN thei.' endeavor
to learn just how far the present White
House investigation OF so-called news
leaks is to be followed and just what

On this occasion the President was
most gracious and showed a willingness
to agree to anything within reason.

press conference rules have been placed
before the President. He has not, as
