 David W. Mulvane, Kansas ma tional committeeman, is another fre- quently named in private senatorial discussions. Mulvane's political enemy, Henry Allen. sometimes fig ures in the talk. Allen was just de- feated in Kansas for reelection to the senate. That would appear to be sufficient disqualification to bar him. Mulvane would oppose his selection and would have great influence with others on the national committee. In Aliens favor is the fact that he stands close to MT Hoover and pleas ed the president with his work as publicity director during the 1928 campaign.
 Allen is wealthy and for the mo- ment out of d job. 1t would appear less likely that he would be given the chairmanship assignment than some other post within the presi- dents dispensation-perh diplo- matic appointment.

Knight Predicts Gradual Increase
 In Early Months
Says New England Has Pared Better in l930 Than Many Other Sections of Nation-Voume of Merchandise IS Per Cent Below 1929

Boston--Citing evidences that New England has fared better in 1890 than some other areas, and forecasting a definite upturn in bus mess within the first few months of New Haven, Conn, president of the New England Council, to-day in q formal statement declared that i've can look for gradual and steady i'm provement during 1931." MT Knight is president of the Southern New England Telephone company.
 "In the 1880 depression, which has been international in scope and far more severe than was antici- pated a year ago." MT Knights statement said. New England has been affected to a considerable de- gree but perhaps not as seriously as some other sections of the country. Reports from the United States de- Eartment of labor indicate that in- dustrial employment and payrolls have not declined quite as much month by month in New England as in the rest of the country. Activity in our major lines of industry has, however, been considerably below normal levels. The textile industry, already in period of readjustment when the general downward move ment began. has operated during 1930 at about 30 per cent below the 1929 level.
 Employment in New England's metal trades declined during the year and is now about 16 per cent below normal Inasmuch as the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-02

statistics on which the foregoing statement Is based do not take into consideration reduction in weekly hours 1t Is probable that 16 per cent does not adequately represent the actual decrease in industrial &C., tivity.
 Boot and shoe production has been IA per cent below last year with slightly more than seasonal activity prevailing at the present time.
 "Our movement of merchandi isc as indicated by the volume of car loadings of merchandise and miscel- laneous freight, has been from 12 to Is per cent below the 1929 vol ume.
 New Englan6s agriculture has had fairly satisfactory year. AL though prices have been lower than in 1929 growing conditions were good and crop yields generally somewhat larger than during the previous year. Rural areas have been little affected by the decline in industrial activity.
 At the present time the indica- tions are that the bottom of the de- pression has been reached. There is real evidence that price stabiliZation Is taking place. It Is true that price declines are still being registered but they are small and irregular. Production has been adjusted down. ward. Stocks of raw and manufac- tured products are gradually being diminished. Money rates are low and acute credit stringency has dis appeared.
 During previous depresslons bus mess activity has remained at or near the low point for approximate ly three months. If history repeats itself the beginning of definite re- covery is not likely before March.
 No rapid recovery from this de- pression is anticipated but study of previous depressions justifies the be- lief that the general trend during 1891 will be gradually upward. In the past it has taken from thirteen to nineteen months for business to regain normal levels once the up- ward movement had definitely be- gun. If this holds true in the pres- ent situation we can look for grad ual but steady improvement through 1881, with normal levels being reached during the first half of 1932.'

Modern Invention Carried . By Syracuse University
 Men
BY F.. J. SCHItECk United Press COrrcspOndcnD

Geneva, N. Y. - The most mod ern inventions and discoveries of science were carried along when the Syracuse university Andean expedi- ton called from New York to Ven- ezuela 10 explore the wild, little known interior of that South Amer ican country.
 Profiting by the disasters of other expeditions, the new expedition di- rected by Dr Parke H. Struthers, Syracuse University zooologist. has taken care that sickness. induced by climatic conditions or tainted food, will be reduced to the merest possi- bility. Danger from unfriendly na- lives, such as disrupted the work of the recent expedition into Soroyo. Mexico, also will be eliminated by guards furnished by the VeneZue- Ian government.
 Youthful Linguist
 Dr Struthers and his colleagues, the youngest of whom is Howard Wesley Curran, 20-year-old linguist of Geneva, have been chary about predicting the extent of their ex- pected discoveries The VeneZue- Ian interior Is virgin territory as far as modern knowledge Is con cerned, however, and Dr Struthers was con- fident that they would return with material of inestimable value 10 science. as well as of popular inter- est.
 One of the purposes of the expe- dition Is to study the Motilone In- dians, fierce, war-like tribe which has been d menace to oil drillers in interior Venezuela. The Motilones have succeeded better than any other American tribe In keeping the rest of the world ignorant of their cus- toms and habits.
 The expedition hopes to return with live animals, some of them strange to the rest of the world, for the Syracuse zoo. The animals will be captured with gas bombs and hydrodermic bullets shot from a specitl gun, which will put them to sleep long enough to capture them.
 Reports will be prepared on the habitat of the captured animals, and pint life and rock structures stud jed.
 In addition to the written reports. numerous moving pictures and pho tographs will be made. Two Fox News reel photographers will ac- company the expedition. carrying about 10000 feet of news reel, and about 800 dozen negatives. The pho-

Connecticut Boy
 Anazes Mother

''Eillie's stomach was often upset and he suffered lot from colds," says Mrs. M. F. Carroll, 143 Ade- laide St., Hartford. "He was fcverish and his breath was bad. l found he was constipated.
 My mother used California Fig Syrup with us, so 1 decided to give Billie some. It surely surprised me to see how quickly it stopped his fever ishness, cleared his breath and tongue, regulated his bowels; made him a strong and energetic boy again."
 The quick, safe way to cleanse and regulate the bowels of bilious, head achy, constipated children is with California Fig Syrup. Give it at the first sign of bad breath, coated tongue, listlessncss or fcvcrishness. Every child loves it's rich, fruity flavor and it acts without gripping or discomfort. Appetite is increased by it's use; digestion is assisted; weak stomach and bowels are given tone and strength.
 For fifty years, doctors have en- dorscd this pure vegetable product. The genuine is always marked by the word California. Look for that when buying or you may get an imitation.

CHARTER BRINGS
 STATE RICHES
Illinois Central Pays Huge Annual Sum for
 Favor

Springfield, III. (UP)--A gesture in 1851, whereby the state of H. linois issued a charter to the Illi- nois Central railroad, granting that road certain lands through which it was to operate trains. has given the state an annual average income of more than $1,00O,000 while cer- tain counties and municipalities have benefited by millions since then.
 Illinois chartered the road in 1851 and agreed to waive taxes provided the road paid the state seven per cent of it's gross operat- ing revenue on it's 705.5 miles of railroad between Chicago and Cairo and between Centralia and East DubuquRe.
 First Levy.
 The first year the charter tax was levied from December l. 1855 to $77.643; and in 1857. the first operation, the charter tax amounted to $145.G46. Since then the tax has steadily increased until in recent years 1t has exceeded $3,000,000 an nually.
 In the five years, 1925-29. the yearly average was $3,214,752. This year the tax was $545.414. From the beginning of operations to Oc. tober 31. 1880. the railroad paid the state $80.792,000 in charter taxes.
 Stac Gains Most. It is interesting to note that the state receives more benefit from the charter lines, whereas stockhold. CTS received only 5.76 cents out ol each dollar.
 In addition to the charter tax the Illinois Central System pays county and local governments an annual property tax of more than $1,400,000 year on it's non-charter

NEVADA DESERT SCENE OF NEW
 GOLD STRIKE
Aged Brothers Find BOnan- ga Near Famed Rabbit
 Hole Country
BY EARL H. LEE

United Press Stan CorrespOndent) Rabbit Hole, Nev-Far out on the lonely Nevada desert lands at spot inhabited two weeks ago by only
 jackrabbits and antelopes, today stands this new mining camp mush- roomed into existence overnight by the magic chy of "Gold!'
 Lurid tales of high-grade ore as- saying $45,000 to the ton attracted
 hundreds to the scene of the dis covery made by two old prospectors. Charley and Jim Scossa. Within "A hours claims were staked on a five mile erea surrounding the strike. The fortunes of the brothers are al- ready made. for the dump ore of the
 mine assayed over $186 per ton with out the high-grade.
 For 30 years, Charley Scossa, old time desert rat and pocket hunter" had dreamed of finding a bonanza in the wastelands of the Rabbit Hole
 district and he never despaired he would eventually make the "big strike"
 A fortune was nearly in his grip
 26 years ago when he and his
 "pards," Jerry Ingals. Bob Thomas, and old Nigger Jim Brown, made &
 discovery on the Rose Bud district. But the desert swallowed him up again. for he was not yet satisfied
 he had found the mother lode. This year he and his brother, Jim, disappeared once more into the
 wastelands of Rabbit Hole. One day recently they walked in-
 to the assay office at Lovelock with
 eight sacks of sample ore from their
 mine tucked under their arms. Be- fore they left town, they had "con- fded" their discovery to another
 prospector, and by nightfall Love
 lock was practically deserted cf l every footloose man and miner iU the community.
 All the old timers came to the little camp. One of the first to stake his claim and shake hands with Scossa was old Nigger Jim Brown. | who had discovered Rose Bud witH Charley. Here came January Jonr
 and Gurney Gordon of Goldfie,a
 fame. Joe Hall. Jim Gardiner, Htn. scores of others known to boom all over the mining world.

IOIL PIPELINES HELP COMPANIES
 FIGHT SLUMP
Eight New Systems Ready to Cut Transportation
 Costs

Oklahoma City-Eight more pipe- line systems for crude oil and nd- tural gas will be in operation early in 1881.
 Like most industries, the petrol cum industry suddenly found itself confronted with over development. That there is too much oil for mar ket demand is admitted. Cheap pipeline transportation is the oil in- dustry's answer to it's acute depres- sion problem.
 But pipeline construction has two enemies. One is the Mid-CoI- tinent refiner who sells his prod ucts locally. He is fighting to main- tain his local industrial set-up. He dislikes to see crude available 10 his own production poured out to refiners In distant cities.
 Another opponent Is the railroads. They recently sought legislation 10 bring pipelines under Jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce commis- sion so that the pipelines will be subjected to the same restrictions as railroads.
 Impede Progress.
 The oil leaders now scof at the efforts of railroads to control pipe lines. E. E. Reeser. president of the American Petroleum Institute. pointedly remarked that the rail- roads were guilty of poor sports manship and were trying to impede progress.
 Pipeline construction in 1890 rep resented an investment of $225, 5,000,- 900 for the 5000 miles of new lines laid.
 Test have been made on the vlr- tually complete Great Lakes Com pany line from Ponca City to the Great Lakes, a distance of f.44O miles.
 The Phillips Pipe Line company. Phillips Petroleum subsidiary, has almost completed its TAO miles car- rier from the Borger, Tex, field to St Louis.
 Gulf Pipe Line Company's 900 miles carrier from Tulsa to Spencer vile, Ohio, is near completion.
 Running almost parallel to the Gulf line is the Ajax Pipe Line com pany's double trunk system from Tulsa to Woodriver, I'll. Construc- ton is progressing on the Contin' ental Construction company's 1000 gas carrier from Texas Panhandle fields to Chicago. The company is jointly owned by major oil concerns.
 Missouri-Kansas Pipe Line com pany is nearing the terminus in con- structing it's 1 100 mile gas carrier from Borger to Indianapolis. 7 Missouri Valley Pipe Line com rany has laid the Mid-Continent sec ton of d proposed gas line from the Texas Panhandle to Minneapolis through Fort Dodge, Iowa. In southern fields, the Natural Gas Corporation is constructing a 700 mile gas carrier from Monroe, La, to Birmingham and Atlanta.
