COAL MEN FIGHT.

The Davis-Kelly bill, proposing
a Federal commission to regulate
the bituminous coal industry, was
assailed as unconstitutional" be-
fore the Senate Mining Commit
tee today by Judge H. D. Rum
mel, of Charleston, w. Va, coun-
sci for the National Coal ASSo-
citation.
He charged "chaotic condi-
tions" would follow any attempt
of a commission to curtail pro-
duction among 1000 coal COM
panies. He called the bill "un.
wise, unjust and discriminatory"
Rummel also opposed the Lewis
bill, which would create a Fed
eral committee along with other
boards to regulate the coal indus
try. Rummel declared both bills
attempted to regulate the min
ing of coal ga purely local az
fair"
He said coal mining was not
interstate commerce and, there
fore, the Federal Government
had no power to regulate it. He
conceded the Governments power
to regulate interstate commerce
but contended the Davis-Kelly
bill made no effort to regulate
commerce but sought to control
mining.

japanese and other foreign eIe-

their criticism of Rear Admiral
Stirling.
Many Factors Concerned
These factors have combined to
cause considerable heated discus

One was the Department of
Justice investigation made by
Seth Richardson, who said in his
report that the large number of
aliens in Honolulu was a matter
Of grave concern.
The second was the comment
made by Stirling last December,

said Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Hobart
president general of the forty
first Continental Congress of the
D. A. R.. in Constitution Hall this
afternoon.
First, she declared many chill

Second, she urged that patriot

being attacked on every hand.
Third, she held the time has
come for constructive effort-fol

Simism and destruction.
She said:
STRESS IN WORLD
The last year has brought
stress and strain to the world.
An undaunted spirit must pre-
vail. Loss seems to fall heavi-
est upon childhood. The mother

full of tenderness and mercy
as it is must care for little
children deprived of nOurish-
ment and unprotected from the
elements.
"SchoOI teachers mention the
fact that children are diScOv-
cred in the schOOIrOOms with
their heads lying upon the
desks. When teachers ap-
prOach them to enquire why
they are resting their heads
upon the desks-the answer
is-my stomach pains me SO
badly. 1t is found upon en-.
quiry that perhaps the child
has had no food or a poor
quality of nOurishment un-
suited to its needs.

BY the Associated Press.
ENGLEWOOD, N. j., June 15.-Great
Britains acting consul general in New
York is expected to come here soon to
interview members Of Mrs. Dwight w.
Morrow's household concerning the
death of Violet Sharpe, English servant
who committed suicide when police ar
rived to question her about her move
ments the night Charles A. Lindbergh,
jr., was kidnapped.
The British foreign Office has asked
the acting consul general, Edward Henry
Gerald Shepherd, to submit a report on
the death. The theory has been ex-
pressed that repeated sessions with the
police may have unnerved her so that,
although INNOCENT, she took her life.
The police have said she was treated
kindly.
Attended by Shepherd, who brought
. wreath of red roses to be placed on
the casket, funeral services were con-
Quoted today in an undertaking estab-
Ishment.
Arthur Springer, one Of Mrs. Nor
rows secretaries, represented the Nor
row family. Servants from the Nor
row estate also ATTENDED.
An automobile from the Morrow estate
brought number of floral pieces, which
were placed about the casket. The Rev.
Joseph r. Lyons, rector of St. PaurS
Episcopal Church, conducted the service.
The body was placed in grave about
100 yards from that Of the late Sen
ator Morrow.
Curtis Assails Police.
John Hughes Curtis, who is to be tried

misdemeanor, and I cannot see any
one but my own counsel.
II am wondering what caused the
Attorney General to issue such instruc-
tions-I can surmise-namely that he
was afraid was going to give my
opinion on the suicide of the poor
English housemaid at the Morrow home,
or perhaps other things that know.

they did to me, put guards at one time

Washington, May 25-It will remain
for the public to decide the difference
between technique and plain blunder-
ing in public affairs. The decision
will, of course, be rendered at the
polls next November. The factions in
Congress are endeavoring to impress
the voting public with their tactics
in statecraft, but the dissensions are
seriously threatening vital legisla-
tive matters. The sOlons are so dis
traught at criticism of their methods
and policies that they are lamentably
disregarding prudence in assuming a
indicative role. Industries that have
protested placing tax burdens in times
of depression find the Congressional
reaction it to "get even" especially if
criticism of the national legislature
has been effective.
Veteran observers are skeptical of
the alarms sounded by Congressional
leaders of having Congress here all
summer. The threats of filibusters
are duly impressive. Yet, f1libusters
are conducted much in the spirit of

RHINE LAKE WOMAN
FOUND DEAD IN BED

The sudden death of Mrs. Mary Holl
of the Rhine Lake neighborhood, came
as a great shock to the family and
her many relatives and friends, when
word was given that she was found
peacefully sleeping her last sleep
when her daughter went to call her
to breakfast Monday morning. She
had been particularly happy Sunday
when Mrs. Weber and daughters and
Mrs. Sam Bosch had spent the after
noon there, but as she had been in
poor health for some time suffer-
ing from heart trouble and dropsy
more recently, and while the shock
is great, those who knew her best felt
that she had not long to stay here.
She leaves a family of eight chill
dren to mourn her loss. An only son,
Henry, has had charge of the farm
since the death of the husband and
father, William Holl, nearly two years
ago on July IA. The girls are all at
home except Elizabeth, who is in
Minneapolis and Agnes in st. Paul.
They came home to attend the fun
eral, which was held at $50 a. m.
Wednesday at the house and at 10 at
St. Joseph's Catholic church of which
Mrs. HOll was a member. The en-
tire community offers sympathy to
the bereaved family.
