County Hounds. Our start of two

it may best be described as
pathetic or humorous.
A lot of people wanted a drag.
There had been drags in the old
days at Fassifern, so, after much
pow-wow. Thanksgiving Day Of
1881 was fixed as the day for the
revival. Everybody. it seems, vas
master, huntsman, whip and field.
A lot of people around here have
hounds and eight or 10 we're
gathered in to run the drag. A
fox was obtained and the drag

NEW YORK, Dec. IA poor
little Indian girl who came out
of the Cherokee country to seek
fame and fortune on wicked old
Broadway wants to ask Nathan B.
Stern, heir to a jewelry fortune,
few simple questions. She is
seeking $232,86O for breach of con-
tract.
Phyllis Emerson, her name is,
and back in 1928 she decorated
the "Vanities" chorus. Then she
met Stern, pal of Jimmie Walker,
A. C. Blumenthal, and many other
Gotham big shots, and they be-
came engaged, she said.
One night, February S, 1929, to
be exact, she went to Stems
house in Greenwich Village. 1t
was just a family gathering, but
just the same Phyllis says she
found the White Mans customs to
be more than she could stand.
Indecent motion pictures were
shown, she charged, and when she
attempted to leave the defendant
assaulted her, breaking her jaw.

DUE
ON TvA POWER

International News Service
A showdown in the battle be-
tween power companies of the
South and the Tennessee Valley
Authority neared today as it was
disclosed that negotiations are
under way between the Govern.
ment and the power companies.
Abrogation of the contract under
which the Alabama Power Com
pany obtains electricity from the
Muscle Shoals project appeared
probable.
The Government, it was dis
closed, has demanded revision of
this contract. The contract has
been vigorously assailed in Con-
gress, with power company foes
contending the Government has
sold electricity at a ridiculously
low rate.
The contract expired November
30, but has been extended until
December 81, pending completion
of negotiations.
Thus far no progress has been
made in the effort of the Valley
Authority to revise the contract.
The negotiations are being carried
on with officials of the Common
wealth Southern Corporation.
The IVA has purchased a dis.
tribution line from the Tennessee
Electric Power Company, near the
site of the new Norris Dam, to be
used in supplying electricity to the
town of Norris.

COLD PRICE UP
AGAIN.; CRITICS
SPURNED
Greater Purchases Abroad Are
Anticipated; Borah Urges
Silver Money
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
Undeterred by criticism abroad

Undeterred by criticism abroad
and at home, the Administration
resumed it's campaign to depreci-
ate the dollar in terms of foreign
currencies by again advancing the
price of gold today.
The R. F. c. quotation was
$34.01, a new high, as against the
1898 quoted before the Thanks
giving holiday.
The advance, while small, was
in line with the apparent policy
of slowly and cautiously pushing
up the price, while studying the
effect on commodity prices and
foreign exchange.
Foreign Purchases Unknown
To what extent the r F. c has
been engaged in the foreign gold
market remained undisclosed.
Most of the purchases thus far
are understood to have been in
the domestic market, but there
were well-defined reports today
that the R F. c shortly will ex-
pand it's operations abroad.
The R F. c. is operating under
a $50,000,000 found, described by
Ambassador Robert w. Bingham
in an address in London yester-
day as being similar to the. huge
British equalization fund, amount
ing to more than a billion and a
half dollars.
The ambassadors description of
the American fund as similar to
the British fund caused some sur
prise here, and moved some Off
Gals to challenge it's accuracy.
The British fund, it was pointed
out, is not only 80 times larger
than the American fund, but also
is used in open purchases Of
pounds sterling, dollars and
francs. The R F C has con-
fined its operations simply to
gold, on the Warren theory that
commodity prices will increase
commensurately with the price of
gold.
"Sniping" Discounted
Administration leaders professed
to be undisturbed by the continued
sniping at the present policy.
Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the
RFC, who is directing the gold
purchasing operations, said there
is increasing confidence among
the rank and file of the country
that the Presidents program will
succeed.
Administra ton leaders are
studying various plans for the re-
Mobilization of silver, in the ex-
pectation that Congress will take
some action early in the next
session.
Senator William E. Borah (RO
of Idaho declared in a letter to
James P. Warburg, one of the Ad-
ministration's critics, that re-
monetization of silva would go far
toward solving the worlds diff
cultieS.

Complete codification of all in

Although 143 codes have been
approved by the President, more
than this number must be heard
or be revamped for Presidential

Among the major codes still un-

MIRA officials said they hoped
to obtain Presidential approval Of

awaiting extradition to Illinois,
where they were to go on trial
within a month for the $4,000

and London stock promoter.
A jury in Federal Court here
early this week acquitted Sharkey,
Roger Touhy, Gus Schaefer, and
Eddie McFadden, all members of
the dreaded Terrible Touhy"
gang of Chicago, in the kidnap-
ing of Hamm, who was held last
June until 100000 ransom was
paid. They had been indicted
under the new "Lindbergh" kid

Congress.

months in Jail, most of which
was spent in solitary confinement,
and the rigorous grilling by Fed

Sharkey in the closing days of
the trial here. He acted queerly

the opinion that the gunman's

law might mete out the death
penalty in the electric chair.
At one point in the trial, when
Federal prosecutors introduced
into evidence the arsenal of
weapons seized when the four
Chicago gangsters were captured
near Elkhorn. Wis, Sharkey, his
hair dishevelled, leaped to his feet.
He shouted:
"Give me those guns. Just
give me those guns; I'll show
'em."
At another point in the trial,
Sharkey turned to Defense Attor-

said in a hoarSe voice:
"My hair is full of electricity,

Because no defense had been
offered in court for Sharkey alone
he had the delusion that he was
being made "the goat" and kept
mumbling to himself that he was
going to be made to take the rap
for his fellow-gangsters.

Coword's Splendid "Cavo|cade" "
Now Playing at Palace

We've waited a long time for
the perfect picture; we are very
near our goal. "Cavalcade," play
ing currently at Loew's Palace, is
an achievement in story, picturi-
zation, acting and direction.
The story is a dramatic page
from the history of the Marryot
family; it is the telling of a series
of emotional episodes in the life
of this family which consists Of
husband, wife and two splendid
boys. The eve of the Twentieth
century finds England at war
with the Beers, the husband
called to arms, the small boys
admonished to look after their
mother; the cavalcade of events
passes on; Victoria is dead, the
heart Of the British Empire is
bleeding as relations become
strained between nations, culmi-
mating in the World War which
experts on war costs predicted of
three months duration and which
tore the cloak from civilization
and left its imprint on the entire
world.
The charming Lady Marryot,
gallant, sane, in a world gone
mad with the freedom of the
aftermath of war, has lost a son
in sea disaster which shocked
the world. has given her only re-
naming child in battle; she did
not want him to go, her mother
heart revolted at the thought of
such sacrifice, but the boy was
eager, keen, as his father was.
The cavalcade passes and the hus-
band and wife, still cling to their
ceremonial of wishing each other
luck and drinking a toast to the
future with the coming Of each
new year. They have passed by
life and kept their faith in their
beloved country hoping always
that she might find dignity and
peace.

Take a bow. Mr.. Lee Armes.
More happens in this habitat
of Gagged animals in "a hours than

inspires a little orphan girl to run

his nurse to secrete himself and

So the search is on in the ZOO at

The romance which was de-
