Louis Fourteenth "Ths Sun King"
The Cat Is Out of the Bag = By Claude G. Bowers

One Of the reasons for the
unpopularity of the President
is the feeling that he is some
thing less than frank in deal
ing with the people Of whom
he is the servant.
When, on the approach Of
the conversations between Mr..
Hoover and M. Laval, it was
said that one of the subjects
for discussion would be a can
collation. or reduction of the
debts, we were given to under.
stand by seemingly authorita.
tive Spokesmen Of the Admin
istration that nothing was
more remote from the in
tention.
But the morning papers, ap-
pearing just as the French
Premier passed out Of the har-
Dor. of New York, announce
that the President will ask
Congress to cut the debts.
There never was any doubt
in our mind that one of the
purposes of the visit of the
clever leader of France was
to persuade the President to
that very course. Nor can
we believe that the project
was sprung upon the President
Unexpectedly.
In the numerous conferences
in Paris between j. P. Morgan
and M. Laval, just before the
latter announced his American
visit, we have no doubt that
this was one Of the subjects of
the conversations. Nor can we
believe that the Administration
was in utter ignorance of
those conversations in Paris.

istered the oath Of Governor to his
son, William, who ran away from
home at the age of II to make his
own way in the world.
Administration of the oath was
believed to have resulted in the
old Murrays fatal illness. His head
was bare on the chilly January day
his son was inaugurated. He never
recovered from the cold he suf-
fered.
The older Murray was born In
Gainsboro. Tenn. in 1889. He moved
to Texas in 1856. During the Civil
war he served in the Confederate
forces. Six sons and a daughter
survive him.
Five boys and a girl were born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Murray, and his first
wife, who died in 1871. She was the
Governors mother. Another son,
George T. Murray of North Dakota,
survives him.

PETITION OPENS
NEW AVENUE IN
UTILITY CASES
Provides Acquisition of
Power Systems by
Towns.

A new avenue for municipal own
ership may be opened by the public
service commission due to filing to-
day Of an unusual municipal own
ership petition by the town of
North Manchester in Wabash
county.
The petition, based on resolutions
adopted by the town trustees, asked
that the commission permit the
town to take over the power distri-
button system now owned and oper-
ated by the insult Northern Indiana
Power Company.
There is no generating plant at
North Manchester. So the town
merely would take over the dis
trioution lines and buy the power
from insult at the city limits, until
such time as they might choose to
erect their own generating plant.
Ihis was the explanation given by
John F. Kelton, town attorney, who
Med the petition.
Gives commission Power
Kelton talked the matter over
with Commissioner Harry K. Cuth-
pertson, who declared that he be-
heVed the utility law contemplates
taxing over such power lines in the
same manner as local generating
plants.
The commission could command
the big power producer owning the
so-called power loop" in the vi
entity to sell the power to the city
wholesale, Cuthbertson said.
In addition the property could be
bonded by the city, without affect
ing the city's constitutional linita-
ton Of 2 per cent Indebtedness. This
can be done, Cuthbertson explained.
by securing the bonds on the power
property and paying them from
power revenues.
Secretary Fred I. King of the COM
mission declared that the North
Manchester petition is the first one
OF its kind ever filed in Indiana.
Opens Power Loop" Theory
Cuthbertson said the points
raised have been covered by court
decisions, although George w. HUFF
smith, deputy encouragement in
charge of utility cases, said he be-
lieved the matter had never been
adjudicated.
Cuthbertson, however, pointed out
that before the commission can act
the necessity for such a purchase
by the municipality must be passed
upon favorably by the circuit court.
The matter opens the way for
municipal ownership under the
power loop" theory which Cuth-
bertson has Incorporated in the
Bloomington rate case order.
The Bloomington order may be
taken up at the Friday conference
OF the commissioners, if all members
are present.

Boilers Well Out.
To be sure the Democratic party
in Dixie has largely purged itself Of
the anti-Smith boilers Of 1928 through
the elimination Of such figures as for
mer Senators Furnifold NJ Simmons
Of this State, Thomas Helm of Ala
bama and Bishop James Cannon, jr.,
of Virginia.
These victories over the haters of
Alfred e. Smith. however, may be at
tributed In large degree to the desire
of local factions to wrest power from
old-line leaders. There Is no doubt
that denomination of Mr.. Smith would
revive the animoSities Of three years
ago. 1t is exemplified in the roar of
protest which went up from this part
Of the country when Mr.. Smith and
Chairman John j. Raskob undertook
to place the Democratic National Com
mittee on record as wet. Gov. Roose-
velt's own protest against that pro-
cedure did him no harm here.

Gov, Roosevelt has a very consider

BY the Associated Press.


DADEVILLE, Ala, July 18.-Condi-
tions in TallapooSa County have re-
turned to normal tonight as authorities
moved to give a preliminary hearing to
81 colored persons arrested as the re-
suit of disorders following meeting OF
the Share Choppers Union" near Camp
Hill Thursday night.
Charges ranging from conspiracy to
commit murder to carrying concealed
weapons today were filed against the
group by Solicitor General Sanford
Mullins. and preliminary hearing was
set for July %.
In Camp Hill, Waverly and here the
usual Saturday crowd was on the
streets, with the addition of some
curiosity seekers, but there was no sign
of disorder.
Disorders Follow Wounding.
The disorders followed upon the
wounding of Sheriff J. Kyle Young and
Deputy Sheriff A. Jack Thompson as
they. with Chief of Police j. M. Wilson
of Camp HILL sought to question Ralph
Gray, colored picket, at the meeting
Thursday night.
Gray was killed in q second exchange
of shots with officers, after being
wounded by the sheriff and Chief Will
son. Three other colored men were
wounded in a clash with posse seek
ing a Chattanooga, Tenn, colored or
ganizer of the union.
Mullins said evidence disclosed that
at the meeting Thursday night the
murder of Sheriff Young and his depu-
ties who previously had disbanded a
similar gathering here and confiscated
large quantities of inflammatory litera-
ture, was plotted.
White Men Organized.
The Negroes told Mullins the organi-
Hation was begun on June 90 by four

another candidate. In this circum-
stance, should Mr.. Baker appear as q
candidate under the Smith -Raskob ban
ner 1t would not help his cause in the
South.
South Lacks Favorites.
No Southern favorite son SO far has
achieved q position where he could
at present be considered seriously as
compromise in deadlock, nor would
the South look upon Gov. Richie in
that light. He has made his reputa-
ton a. a national figure too strongly
upon the wet issue, and to the Solid
South the rating of Maryland as a
Southern State Is too much of a Yankee
notion to permit its Governor the title
OF Southern favorite son candidate.
With cotton and tobacco selling at
less than 1t costs to produce it, Demo-
cratic leaders do not believe there Is
any prospect Of the Republican party
repeating its victories Of 1928. but
promises OF economic remedies from
a Democratic candidate might insure
a Democratic victory.
