SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

Assuming Credit.
To my thermometer I spoke
In accents of reform.
My words were treated as a joke;
It kept ON growing warm.
I lectured on my growing grief
At his relentless way,
But whether he would bring relief
He still refused to say:
The climate showed a change at last.
The old Thermom grew kind
And seemed regretful of the past
Which It had left behind!
And then my soul with pride was
fraught
Beneath q cooling shower.
I said, behold what change is wrought
BY My Persuasive Power.

Senator Joseph T. Robinson of
Arkansas, Democratic leader of the
Senate, was given q great reception at
Little Rock yesterday, regular home
coming celebration. It was a great
turnout Of the people to honor the
man who has kept Arkansas right. on
the political map for years. Senator
Robinson was the vice presidential
nominee Of his party in 1928, and he
seems to be as firmly intrenched today
as Democratic leader of the Senate as
he ever was, despite the attacks made
ON him by Huey Long and Longs threats
to oppose him In the 1896 senatorial
primaries In Arkansas when Robinson
comes up for denomination. He took
Long "for . ride" in the Senate quite
successfully when Long was kicking
over the administration traces. Senator
Robinson made speech to the people
Of Arkansas in which he praised very
highly the record Of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration and the record made by
the special session Of Congress last
Spring.

BANK CLOSING
MAY CAUSE
ARRESTS
Rover Seeks Law Under Which
Heads Can Be Tried for
Accepting Deposits

The United States Attor-
ney's office is investigating
possible violation of some
criminal law by certain closed
banks Of the city in accepting
deposits after officials Of the
bank were aware Of the in
solvent condition of their in
stitutions, it became known
today.
1t was admitted in the office of
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover that complaints had been
made against several closed banks
which accepted deposits when it
was known that conServators or re-
ceivers were on their way to take
over the respective institutions,
Attaches of Rover's office point
ed out that while many. States
have special statutes making it
a crime for a bank official to &C
cept deposits after insolvency has
been determined, there is no gen.
eral criminal law of the United
States applicable in the District
of Columbia to such cases.
Prosecutors seek, however, TO
find other than bank statutes to
cover the situation.
