Hurley Walks Out on
Committee in Senate
Secretary Says He Will Not
Remain Here to Be
Called a Liar

Washington, Feb. 13.-(P-secre-
tary Hurley Saturday walked out OF
a senate committee hearing on Phil
ippine independence asserting he
would not remain here to be called
liar"
Hurley left the meeting after SEN
ator King 3D.. Utah) had told the
secretary he resented "as untrue" a
statement the war department. head
had made.
His !. voice. shaking with emotion
and ringing angrily through the
COMMITTEES room. Hurley leaped to his
feet and asserted with vigorous ges-
lures:
"You can run your star chamber
proceedings in here and call me a
liar and browbeat your witnesses,
but you can't compel me to remain
here and take IT.
The incident c!!1laxed two stormy
sessions Of the senate insular COM
mittee. At the previous one Hurley
became engaged in en- acrid dispute
with Democrats who advocated free
Ing the islands.
huSCIS OuUcT 4USStlO0l0H
Hurley, expressing the administra-
tons viewpoint the Islands should
not be given independence until
economic independence is assured,
registered mounting anger under the
questioning Of Senators Cutting r.,
N. NJ, and King 3D., Utah) who
have measures before the senate for
independence.
When King began asking him
question, the secretary started to an
swer before it was finished.
"Just a minute" exclaimed King,
you try to answer before the ques-
ton is asked"
you have absolutely undertaken to
distort what said." exclaimed Hur-
ley, his face flushed and his voice ris-
ing angrily.
II resent what you said as untrue,
as some OF your other statements
have been,' King shot back.
It was then the secretary of war
arose and left the crowded commit
tee room.
Charges Stump Speech
Previously Senator Cutting had
told the secretary that when asked "a
simple question" he had made a
stump speech in reply"
IT I say anything here that is in
opposition to you gentlemen" Hurley
returned, ats stump speech. but
what you gentlemen say Is the height
of craftsmanship"
Hurley asserted It had been "a
kind Of lese majesty" to hold an opin-
ion contrary to that held by members
Of the committee.
When the discussion once turned
upon the stability Of conditions in the
Philippines, King remarked we're not
very stable in the United States now,
economically" -.
Il disagree with these statements
about the United States being weak
and off color" exclaimed Hurley.
Lets be Americans once in while
and have faith In our stability"
Hurley said the bill sponsored joint
~ by Senators Halves 3D.. Mo-, and
Cutting. was characterized by weak
ness" and provided for "tutelage" OF
the Filipino people.
Cutting objected to these words.
A little. later, however, q meeting
was arranged in the office Of Chair
man Bingham (R.. Conn.,. which re-
suited in an amicable settlement Of
the differences.
Impeachment charges against Sec
rotary Mellon were dropped by the
house.

ELECTRIC BOND TRIES
TO STEM SALES OF
STOCK In MARKET

NEW YORK. April 16-Thl
Electric Bond and share com
pany, one OF the leading paBli,
utility holding and management
companies, took two emphatic
steps today designed to sQueleh
rumors regarding its finances
which have accompanied the re-
cent heavy selling OF public util-
ity securities.
First. the company announced
its important financing problems
Of 1882 had been solved through
extension for one year Of bank
loans aggregating s71.5OO,OOO of
two subsidiaries, American and

United Gas corporation.
Secondly. It published earnings

According to the evidences. A.

June Is, 1880, acquired indi-
rectiy from william Schmidt,
landowner. a one-year lease COW
erlng 100 acres Of valuable OH
land in the Crossword field
Grandbouche put IN a rig and
commenced drilling but did not
complete the well when the ex-

filed suit to cancel the lease and
was upheld by the court which
declared the lease cancelled, on
the ground that the lease as writ

OHIO RESUMES


nation in 1922, when oil deveI-
opment, coming on the heels
of the postwar depression,
brought millions Of dollars into
Montana and was a material
factor in Fastening the return
of prosperity.
Conditions now are regard
ed as practically identical.
Seek New Interests
Capital, tired of bucking the
unbeatable game Of the stock
market manIpulators, is look
ing for investment in the prim-
airy sources Of wealth.
Montana now has, as an at
traction to such capital, enor-
nous areas known to be pc
troliferous with only a start
made toward ascertaining pos
sibilities of the shallower hori-
IONS and with virtually moth
ing done toward the develop
ment of deep sand production,
though several wells have de-
finitely demonstrated the pre-
sence of oil in beds below the
Mississippian.
Lower Costs
In addition, due in part to
removal Of drilling restrictions
on public lands, large acreage
blocks may be assembled cas-
lily and at small costs, even in
areas.
Finally, those who bring ia
new fields are assured of a
market at a higher price than is
obtainable anywhere else in the
United States, protected from
the inroads of distress oil from
other sections by a high
freight rate.
Bright Prospect
just as the 1922 boom ush-
cred in a $20,OO0,O0O drilling
campaign which resulted in the
Of more than $685.
300, 900 in new wealth, so is
The boom now starting ex-
oected to result in even great
n expenditures and even
greater proportionate returns.
Further increases IN theI
rude price win materially
hasten the development and
he majority of operators feel
hat such increases viii be pos
ed within the next 80 days,
Nth the prospect that this
tate win again see the returnI
f a price Of at least $50 forl
10 gravity crude.

TOday's Crisis Felt Most Keenly Present
Public Is More Capable of Bearing Shock

ed not so many years ago as essen
tiaI in a social scheme with its
lower orders" seldom rising above
the level of bare subsistence. The
industrial nations of the West have
built up in the last fifty years
ideals of human worth, of social
justice, of standards of living, of
channels of opportunity which rend-
er us more keenly aware of failure
in these respects than was the case
less than a hundred years ago when
Disraeli wrote of the England of
1.-The two nations, the rich and
the poor, living without human
contact on the English soil.
1t is well enough to tease Mr..
Hoover about his crusade to abol
ish poverty just before the bull
market died, or to remind Mr.. Ford
of his board of experts to set up
the $5 a day wage in Europe just
as prosperity was about to explode
in his face. The mere fact that the
ideal should have been stated and
the attempt made is enough to
show how far we have moved from
1.-THE iron law of wages.
Because we aimed higher than
ever before, today's hard times are
worse than they were in days when
men were not SO tender minded.
But that is only to say that we
perhaps feel the depression worse,
not that we are really worse off
than before. To say that our social
organism today is more responsive
to pain is not to say that it is an
organism less capable of resistance
to attack Because we have cut
down infant mortality, reduced the
ravages of diseases, sent the chill
dren of the plain people into schools
by the scores of millions, and into
high schools by the millions, and
into the colleges by the hundreds
of thousands, any check we en-
counter in these processes is felt
more acutely now than when
Thomas Gradgrind was defining the
whole duty of social man. But be-
cause of these same things the
social organism today is much more
capable of bearing up under shock
and strain. We may feel worse but
We are healthier.

New York Times: Attempts to
compare the gravity of the current
depression with earlier crises US
ually take arithmetical form. The
relative duration of the periods of
decline and recovery; the fall in
prices as measured in range and
speed; the number of receiverships
and bankruptcies; the extent of
unemployment-by such indexes we
try to find out whether things to-
day are better or worse than they
were in 1893, in 1873, in 1857, in
1897. The method is proper enough,
but does not completely answer the
question, because it leaves out of
account the subjective factor
namely, the living men and women
upon whom business crises descend.
A comparison between price de-
clines in 1873 and in 1881, or even
between the rate of unemployment
in 1873 and in 1881, takes 1t for
granted that people in both years
are equally sensitive to the same
arithmetical stimulus. 1t leaves
out of consideration the fact that
different social conditions are like
ly to produce difference in suscep-
tibility to the same state of facts.
The impact of a blow depends up
on the man who receives it as we'll
as the man who delivers it. A left
hook from the hand of Jack Demp-
sey is not the same thing when re-
ceived by Gene Tunney or by the
average unathletic American citizen.
Today's economic crisis is
worse" than any that have pre-
ceded it because its savage blows
have fallen upon more sensitive
social organism, upon public
opinion more susceptible to shock.
A million unemployed today is
worse than a million unemployed
forty years ago because our social
conscience today is more awake to
the reproach of willing workers
who can find no work to do. We
can no longer think with equanim-
ity of labor reserve, to be
modified when needed and turned
out without provision when pro-
duction slackens. Unemployment
and public relief used to be accept
