WASHINGTON, May 26. U.P)-
Partners in the powerful house of
Morgan, who have seen secrets of
their financial dynasty spread to
the world in three days of startling
testimony, won a point today when
the senate stock market investigat-
ing committee decided not to reveal
the names of partners who have
borrowed from their firm.
The committee, in a secret ses-
sion marked by a flare-up over
publication of forthcoming evidence
before its formal presentation, de-
cided against revealing the part
ners indebtedness.
The executive session delayed
the beginning of the fourth day of
open hearings, which began an hour
late with George H. Howard, head
of the United Corporation, a util-
tiles holding company, as the wit
ness,
1t was understood some of the
committee IS criticism of news
"leaks" centered around the rev.
elation yesterday by the United
Press that the late Calvin Coolidge
would be named on one of the lists
of those permitted to purchase Sc
curities at a price below the mar
ket quotation.
The committee also had under
consideration the question of pub
lication of the articles of partner
ship of j. P. Morgan & Co. No
definite action was taken. 1t was
decided, however, to make the list
of individual depositors in the Nor
gan bank available to committee
members for inspection whenever
desired.
j. P. Morgan waited in the cau-
Gus chamber for an hour and Is
minutes while the committee was
in secret session.
The heat was intense. Spectators
filled the chamber in closely pack
ed ranks. Goats were shed and
hats and newspapers converted in
to fans.

farms. planted them to pines and organized local protection association. As governor he gave his support to measures looking to the increase of forest areas."
 Continuing the theme. the Times grows poetieal: His coming 10 the presidency IS an augury of the spreading of the benign shadows of the forests and wodolands--in- eidentally recovering abandoned farm lands. storing water. putting idle land to work again. tempering both heat and cold. afford ing protection against sweeping winds for men. beasts and plants inviting back to shelter the wild life. A people that cleared the fields which now produce more than it needs is inviting the trees to come back. It is noticeable to one flying over some parts of the country that wood-lots ares becom- ing a feature of the landscape. It may well be that we are entering upon forest mind cd period, in which trees will have spir- itual as well as economic part in the lives of communities and families.
 The sdoration of trees began. as one has said. at the dawn of history. Whole civilizations have been tetbered to trees: one to the plane tree. another to the ash, each to its ancestral tree. And the forest still reaches out and twines itself around our deepest spiritual truths" The nation seems 10 be absorbing something of this spirit.

Is It Odd?

The Hartford Times finds it odd that whereas in former sessions of the Legislature they were inclined to be oratorcal. The po- ltical writer of the Times last Saturday pointed out that the only republican mem- Der of the Senate who rises to his feet these days is Senator Howard Alcorn the minor ity leader. Such stalwarts as Senators John M. Wadhams Kenneth F. Cramer. Austin D. Barney and John F. Lynch re main speeches.. Many a senator in the republican ranks has yet to make his maiden speech Not so with the democrats. though. They don't seem to miss an opportunity to take the floor and discourse on one topic or another. Unfortunately it proves of little avail.
 However. the Times should have put more stress on the fact that between Senator AL corn and Senator Joseph P. Cooney. demo- cratic nsurgent. such capable working al- liance has been effected that the other l 6 republicans don't need to do any talking In fact the minority leader doesn't need to take the floor. save for formality's sake. Senator Cooney by his defiance of democra- tic leadership has built up for himself conspicuous place in the Senate. He has thwarted administration efforts on sev- era occasions He had on the other hand also aided them at unexpected moments. Beyond shadow of doubt Senator Cooney will issue from this session the most marked member.
 With Senator Cooney doing such fine job for them at the crucial moment we don't blame the republican senators to sit back and take it easy. They are in the minor ty and while the democratic members, who see with them, show this peculiar trait of theirs why attempt the impossibe3 All their talking could prove of no avail if the eighteen democratic senators voted solidly. 1t looks to us as if the republican senators arc playing smart game at Hartford. They forestall all quarrels among themselves by keeping mum. The democrats promote them by their too evident desire to make personal opinions count for more than party principles

A Great Experiment

President Roosevelts latest message to Congress concerned itself with the develop ment of the Tennessee river watershed. l his introduces to the American public in a new guise an old friend, none other than Muscle Shoals. But it is new Muscle Shoals than that which we heard so much of in the ad- ministrations of Warren c. Harding Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. It is Muscle Shoals that plays merely subordinate role in mighty undertaking Heretofore we have considered the development of the nitrate plant and the harnessing of the Tennessee river for the purpose of creating power Of prime importance. In the new government scheme they are but part and parcel of many ideas. worthy of the effort.
 The Tennessee river is one of the most important in the nation, not merely the South. It flows through number of states before entering the Ohio. But now it IS nothing more than river. quiet and harm less in summer. but capable of destruction at flood season. To make it serve the lands through which it flows has been national problem as far back as the beginning of the l9th century. But in the hundred or more years that have elapsed since Uncle Sans officials recognized its potentialities nothing more has been done than the construction of nitrate plant and dam at Muscle Shoals Both are idle now.
 President Roosevelt proposes that in addl- ton to putting the nitrate plant into opera ton and providing for creation of power at the present dam. that floods be controlled. soil erosion prevented. reforestatlon be en- couraged. and such other natural develop ment planned as will make itself apparent to a formally constituted authority. In this particular instance the gigantic task will be entrusted to the Tennessee Valley Authority in which will be all the power of govern ment and a private corporation combined. Wise planning in the Tennessee river valley is expected to encourage similar developments in other sections of the nation. certainly in the Columbia river region. Let Senator Norris do the advance work. He's the most capable.

Progress Delayed

When Commissioner Thomas H. Beck of the State Board of Fisheries and Game first proposed that hunt clubs. maintaining packs of hounds and riding 10 them at regular in- port But now that some of the riding clubs in the state have rallied from this on- slaught we'd say that points are about even We don't know how the bill imposing the above tax will fare at the hands of the fish and game committee. but we are inclined to believe that it will be unfavoraby re- ported. Certainly it will if judged solely upon the merits of last weeks hearing While there were some good arguments against hunts we didn't read of d con- vincing one for the tax.
 As Mayor Hayes pointed out in bis ca- pacity as representative of group of riding clubs, that would be affected by the new tax, it is simply double tax being imposed upon the huntsman He now pays personal taxes on bis horse. dog, and kennels. Per haps those who don't ride think that any body who indulges in this form of sport should be glad to pay double taxes. How ever, that ism what our government IS based upon. There are enough examples of double taxation today without adding to them. Since the idea seems to be to curb drag hunts" and the like. once regarded as the sport of kings. why not conflne them to definite areas.
 The argument that riders do an immense amount of damage to farm land by break ing fences. riding over freshly y-ploughed or planted fields, frightening cattle. etc is not 10 our way of thinking quite correct. If it were proved that hunt clubs did do this pfomiscuously the hunts would have ended a long time ago. so numerous and loud would have been the complaints But in the majority of cases responsible clubs repair any damage they may do to private prop erty and rarely trespass on land on which they have not definite permission to visit.
 Commissioner Beck may be right in stating that hunts raise havoc with birds and wild animals If they are held during the mating or breeding season they are perhaps doing irreparable damage. That could easily be avoided by prohibiting them at certain periods, which certainly would not be exten- sive enough to cause those who like to ride to the hounds anything more than brief period of impatence. However, this is matter for those concerned to settle as best as they can Personally we don't think the tax is fair.

Art of Beer Drinking

Americans are evidently going to drink beer in considerable quantities. so they may as well have some drinking advice. And in fact, they are already getting it. An old time student of the art lays down two good rules: First he says. don't drink the stuff too cold It should be cool. but not iced. Icy temperature spells the flavor and ruins the stomach Second don't drink it fast. "T he mark of wise drinker is the even spacing of the rings on the glass. Some readers will understand that
 It isn't much use, though. We are nation of advce-g givers but not of advice takers, and we're subject in practice to strange delusons about foods drinks and pastlmes, One of our pet delusions IS that all drinks except coffee and tea should be ice-cold, A nation that even pours ice cold milk into it's stomach can hardly be expect cd to be sensible about beer. Likewise nation that gups whiskey. wine and even cordials, will probably continue pouring down it's beer as if trying to pu, out fire.

But sooner or later the patient runs down. and when the doctor thinks her tongue has cooled off bit he casually inquires about the condition of this rapidly acting organ, and sure enough, the hy- pOchromic anemia patient freely admits her tongue has burned good deal as though from too much acid food you understand. In truth the doctor doesn't understand anything of the sort, but he hasn't time to explain to every chattering customer that acid fruits have mo- thing to do with acid in the system, whatever that may mean.
 Touching on some of the minor signs of hypochromic ancmia as lightly as possible. there are the burning sore tongue. dry gray ing hair brittle and often spooned nails, wrink- led atrophied ineastic skin, low color index (the doctor observes this when he tests the blood) insufficient acid in gastric juice and how's your cousin Jasper now?

A Book a Day
 by BRUCE CATION
Yes, There Is Romance


 A few years ago an inquiring young man namd Hassoldt DAVIS set out to see the world-to see, more specifically, the South Sea Islands. He had heard much about the romance, beauty, charm, love- liness and what-not of those places and he figured this sort or talk was largely boloney; so ne went to find out for himself.
 Out of this little excursion has blossomed a book, Islands Under the Wind" In it MT Davis tells where he went, what he did and what he learned.
 He started out by going to Ta- hiti, and after an extended stay he went on, with stops here and there, to the fabulous isle of Bali. And at first he thought that his precon- ceived notions were justified. The romance of Papeete seemed pretty tawdry, the thrills seemed to bo mostly faked, the charming natives seemed about as unspoiled as so many medicine show Indians.
 And then, bit by bit. he learned that the tall tales are true, after all. Tahiti is what thy say 1t Is, oncc you get your vision focused properly. Bali is like no other place on earth. Life in those places can be, in sober truth, freer, easier. more satisfying than elsewhere.
 And tho island girls? asks the brcathlcss reader. Well, says Mir Davis, don't go looking for love. because you won't find it-not tho romantic, deathless kind of occi- dental fiction. But there is q very fine substitute available, and Onco acclimated you get 50 you think the world of 1t.

THE HAND SET PHONE CHARGE
(Hartford Courant)

The Southern New England Tel ephone company is expected to an- nounce shortly 8 reduction In the charge of twenty-five cents 0 month now being made for the use of the hand set or French type of telephone. In both New York and New Jersey the charge has been reduced to fifteen cents by order of public utility commissions. It is better that the Southern New Eng land company should do volun- tarily what other companies have been forced to do, but it could make hit by telling the subscrib- CT that he could have hand set phone for good and forever by making a small lump payment and ending the rental business then and there. By so doing 1t would be merely conforming to an order is- gued recently by the utility com- mission Of one of the western states, Indiana, we believe.
 It has long been an exasperating anomaly that the parent telephone company and its subsidiaries should extensively picture the French type phone in their ad- vertisements while at the same

There will be thirty-two leased streams available for fishermen at midnight Friday when the open season on trout is proclaimed. According to figures released by the state commission of fish and game there have been 10000 adult trout placed in these streams. At tbat rate there ought to be some sport if the weather is suitable. Streams will be high for some time. though, due to heavy spring rains And when they're high and rolled fish don't seem to bite as we'll as they might. But with plenty of. fish available there is no need to complain of the luck Skill will prevail.
