 Refore his companies started go- ing into receivership last April, ne still held the scepter Of power aver inc utilities domain that Stretched over 32 states and parts of Canada and Mexico. that hau been vaiued at 1929 peak prices at ,,,ore than $3,00O, 100000 that served 1,760,000 customers in b'ooo communities. ,a ar of 73 beseeching aid of strangers in Greece while the United states government presses demands that he be returned to Chicago to iase criminal charges.
 Why? Any attempt to answer must 20 back to Q set or qu's' rooms in westminster Bridge Hoau, London, not far from the eas. bank of the Thames, where oam- uel Insull was born on Novempea II, 1859. Samuel, the son Q. z lay preacher and tempsIare psna, worker. was one or rive cniiu.e s'on, Thera was a strain of Jewish bioou in the family and they were indus- trious folk. ,.a

the city to his home.
 He became secretary In tue office of Gibson Bowles, editor or Vanity Fair. He answered an ad- vertisement in a London news paper by Thomas A. Edison's Lon- don Telephone Company manager. He worked at the switchboard of the first telephone exchange in London while George Bernard Shaw was battery boy. Then came a chance to go to America.
 "I'll go if can, be secretary to Edison, not otherwise" was young Insults ultimatum.
 So he landed at Castle Garden. New York, in 1891 = a slim young Briton, with side whiskers fram- ing a face made austere by serious brown eyes and tight pressed lips. He went with Edison to the in- ventor's Menlo Park labroatory that evening, worked until at least midnight, and was told to return at a. m.
 <. For4la years Insull was associat- ed with Edison, first as secretary and handyman, writing letters, keeping books, signing checks and even buying the inventors clothes, and later helping organize three manufacturing companies. When the companies, were merged tn 1889 into the Edison General Elec- trio Company, Insult became vics- president in charge of manufac- turing and selling. In those early organizations tasks he probably built the groundwork of experience that later was to enable him to build a utilities pyramid that would give him power over more money than John D. Rockefeller. or Henry Ford ever held.
 Then, because he was not made president of the General Electric Company when 1t was formed by merger of Edison's company with a rival concern, Insult baked and demanded new job. He then was making $30.000 a year.
 Tomorrow's installment will pick up Insults career with his arrival in Chicago and take him to the heights of his business career.

 Rally in New Haven

Waterbury democrats received with much pleasure to-day the re- port of the attack on Senator Hir- am Bingham made last night in New Haven by Senator Pat Harri- son of Mississippi in an address delivered at party rally. He lik- ened Bingham to "an acrobat when 1t comes to the liquor ques- tion." Recalling the g.. o. D. na- tional convention he said that "the republican prohibition plank never received a stronger castigation than that given by your senior senator. Pe said 1t was ambiguousi he de- cried 1t as double-crossiiig; he spoke of 1t as a spineless uterance, devoid of courage"

HAWAII STATEHOOD PREMATURE
 AT PRESENT TIME SAYS GOV. JUDE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Since the Territorial legislature of Hawaii declared for statehood a year ago there has been more or less senti- ment in Alaska for similar action upon the part of its Territorial legislature, without giving much consideration to the largely in- creased cost of maintaining a state with limited population of 60.000 people scattered over an area of 5S6,400 square miles. Hawaii has population of 6,336, and an area of but 407 square miles.
 During the past week Delegate Houston introduced a concurrent restitution requesting and urging the Congress of the United States of America to pass an enabling act authorizing the people of the Ter ritory of Hawaii to form a consti- tuition and State government, to be admitted to the Union on an equal footing with the original States"
 Delegate Houston privately ad- mits that he does rot believe that the Resolution will pass at this session, although he says: We have the disadvantages of state hood, but not its advantages. We are carrying the burden, but have to plead for the rewards. Hawaii
