tricity consumed in 1929 in the whole
United States, other than for railway
operations, passes over State lines.
This Is in contrast with the compilation
of the National Electric Light Associa-
ton for 1928, showing exports of cur
rent to have been 100 per cent, which
has been largely used as the basis for
opposition to the proposed Federal con-
troll.
The large difference between the two
figures is not due altogether to an in
crease in the amount of electricity used.
but reflects in part a more thorough
compilation of data and in part a diff
erence in classification of items.
However. even the apparent interstate
movement of more than one-fifth of
power consumed will not be accepted by
opponents Of Federal control as a suf-
f1cient reason for such control. They
may be expected to insist that a large
proportion of the interstate movement
IS confined to comparatively small sec
tons of the country. For example. while
the East South Central States of Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Missis-
sippi import 1884 per cent of the power
consumed, the Pacific States of Califor-
MIA, Oregon and Washington import
only PIT per cent.

PUBLIC UTILITIES
SHOW STEADY GAIN
Total Income for First Ten
Months of 1890 Estab-
fishes Record.
BY GEORGE E. DoYING.

One of the most remarkable situa-
tons to be noted in connection with the
general business situation is the show
ing of increased gross and net earnings
by the electric utilities.
A steady climb upward, month by
month, has been shown in gross earn
ings during the last four years, and the
total for the first 10 months Of 1880 is
reported now by the Census Bureau as
the highest Of any year recorded. This
likewise is true for net earnings during
the same period.
Net Income Gains.
While the increase in the gross for
the 10 months of 1880 was not as great
as that shown for a similar period in
1928 as compared with 1927, neverthe-
less the former figure shows a healthy
growth and portrays a most favorable
condition when considered in connection
with the general curtailment of bust
ness.
Net earnings in 1880 were greater in
each month than in the corresponding
month Of 1929 except in January, when
they were Lhe same and in July and
August, when there were slight de-
creases. The net for the 10 months
however. was greater by So, 900 900 than
for that period in the previous year. and
more than $500 900, 900 greater than fol
the first 10 months of 1927. In fact
the 1890 net for 10 months was more
than $60.000,000 larger than for Tho
entire year of 1927 and only about $33,.
1000 less than the entire year OF

Fisher is said to have told
police that after watching the
Woolworth fire with his wife, he
left her. He was obsessed with
an impulse to set fire to some
thing.
He then declared, police say,
that he did not remember his
movements until he parked his
car near lexington Place and Q

of the Mcdowell establishment
and entered a rear door.

He then threw matches about
the floor until he started the

blaze awhile made his way to the
northwest section. Here he
broke open a window in the Lank

lighted matches through the
opening until he started a second

Fisher first entered a plea Of

FORCEMENT
ATTACKED IN 1
HOUSE
Tinkham and Schafer Lead
War on Wire Tapping
Propaganda and Spies

The enforcement policy Of the
new bureau of prohibition in the
Justice Department was under
fire from the wet bloc" today as
the House prepared to take up
the annual supply bill for the
Justice, State. Labor and Com.
merce departments.
Having little hope of preventing
an increase in the prohibition
bureau budget from $9,000000 to
$11,369, 500, the anti-prohibition
Spokesmen directed their attack
chiefly on enforcement methods
being employed by Director Amos
w. w. Woodcock.
Among the demands Of the
wet bloc" spokesmen are:
The bureau shall abandon the
practice of tapping telephone
and telegraph wires.
Stop prohibition propaganda.
Quit using public funds to buy
liquor, the alleged setting up of
Government "Speak-eaSieS" and
employment of informers.
The bloc also stood committed
to oppose the addition of 500
new agents, which would bring
the force to around 1000.
