WATERVILLE

Residents Lf Waterville, particu- larly those employed by the Beardsley and Wolcott Manufac- turing company, are interested to note Judge Frederick M. Peasley, yesterday, in the superior court, de- clared a receivership for the local concern. James M. Sheldon was named receiver for the company and posted Q fifty thousand dollar bond.
 The action was taken at the re- quest of nineteen of the largest stockholders in order to endeavor to conserve the assets of the firm. These are said to be worth far more than the liabilities but are, for the most part, not liquid. Ad- ditional working capital will un- doubtedly be secured and the busi- ness will continue to operate.
 The receivership will hold up temporarily, claims against the company and will permit available capital to be used for plant oper- ation and development of new bus mess. With any improvement in the industrial situation the affairs of the plant should soon remedy themselves.
 The various phases of reorgani- zatlon of the firm from the old Berbecker and Rowland Manufac- turing company to its present status, involving an utilization with the Novelty Manufacturing com pany and resulting several changes in ownership and management came during the industrial depres- sion with it's attendant difficulties.
 r.n1rInad fn fhn limit at every point the company found itself without sufficient volume of business to offset it's overhead with the present result. It is hoped that the receivership will prove successful in putting the firm back on its feet, thus assuring continuity of employment to the scores of Waterville people on it's pay roll.
 Mrs. Emma Levin
 Another old-time resident of Wa terville passed away yesterday with the death of Mrs Emma Wrigley Levin at the home of her daughter. Mrs Julius H. Feather, of Stam- ford. Mrs Levin was native of England but came to the United States at an early age and had spent the greater portion of her life in Waterville. For many years she had resided on Dwight street having her home here onlyl Cs leaving her home here only 8 few weeks ago when failing health made it imperative. She was a member of the First Methodist church but had also been active in affairs of Waterville Union church.
 She leaves her daughter at whose home she passed away; a grand daughter, Miss Marjorie Feather of Stamford ;and sister, Mrs Wallace Schofield.
 The remains have been removed to the Alderson funeral home on Central avenue, Waterbury. where Rev Richard Hegarty. pastor of First Methodist church will con- duct services at two o'clock on Sat .urday afternoon. The burial will be in old Pine Grove cemetery.

Washington, March 31. (UP)- Senate stock market Investigators were battering a breach to-day in the grey stone fortress at Broad and Wall streets, New York, in which J. F. Morgan and Co guards secrets of the worlds most famous investment banking house.
 Mrogan and Go head the list in a renewed inquiry into practices of investment bankers who have float ed billions of securities. The data obtained is expected to be used by congress and the administration in framing additional legislation to protect investors.
 Details of Chesapeake and Ohio railroad financing performed by the house of Morgan for the Van Swer- ingen brothers of Cleveland are be- Iieved to be included in the in- formation sought.
 Apparently reliable reports in- dicate the inquiry may extend to the Aluminium Company of Amer ica, controlled by the Mellon in- terests of Pittsburgh.
 Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel, informed the committee that, John w. Davis, 1924 demo- cratic presidential nominee and Morgan counsel, had questioned his authority to obtain some of the in- formation requested for prelimin- ary examination. The senate will be asked to vote additional power to prevent withholding of Morgan records.
 Davis issued statement in New VnrIy ino hn fused to cooperate in the proceed ings of the committee"
 Representatives of Morgan and Go, twice have been summoned by congressional committees. The elder J. r. Morgan appeared before tn "Pujo Money Trust" investiga- tion of the house banking and cur rency committee in 1912-13. Thom- as w. Lamont spoke for the fa- nous firm Q year ago in the senate finance committee investigation of foreign bond fiotations in the United States.
 Almost lost in dusty, fat volumes of Pujo committee testimony by the elder Morgan and Davison are 200 pages probably containing more public information on the house of Morgan than any other. records on earth.
 It was shown that Morgan and Co:
 1. Accepts deposits, corporate and individual.
 2. Does not clear checks through a clearing house.
 3. Acts as fiscal agent for many corporations for which the com- pany is depositary. (That was be- fore the World War made Morgan

STOCK IN DEMAND
. AT POTOMAC BANK
Doors of Institution Kept
Open Until 10 O'Clock to
Accept Applications.

Omcers Of the Potomac Savings Bank
were kept busy until 10 O'Clock at the
bank last night taking care Of appli-
cations to purchase stock in the pro-
posed new Potomac National Bank.
which Is being organized to open on
the site Of the savings bank at Wis
consin avenue and M street.
Although the bank had intended to
close earlier, 1t was explained by B.
Agee Bowles, vice president, that there
was such q stream Of inquiries and
buyers of stock that 1t was found neces-
sary to keep the Offices open until the
later hour.
This development followed the unani-
nous approval given yesterday after
noon to plans for reorganization Of the
bank by q meeting of stockholders of
the Virginia corporation at its legal
headquarters in Alexandria. Action OF
the stockholders was said by George
w. Onutt, president of the bank, and
Its conservator to have been not only
unanimous, but enthusiastic" There
was no dissenting voice, Mr.. Offutt said.
The vote authorized the reorganiza-
ton of the Potomac Savings Bank into
the Potomac National Bank, the latter
to take over all the business Of the
former and succeed 1t ON the same
location. The meeting was held at the
law offices Of Cation & Cation, attorneys
for the bank at Alexandria, because the
hank Is q Virginia corporation.

payers of the United States we are
seeking to perform that which, in JUS
tice and In liberty, they themselves
should do. It Is understood that the
deliberations Of Congress on District Of
Columbia affairs cost the Government
$125, 900 per day. What an unnecessary
burden this Is on the impoverished tax
payers Of our Nation! It Is ridiculous
to find this Congress, whose members
receive at least $25 per day, legislating
on the question Of removal Of a corpse
from one cemetery to another, or to
find them legislating on the closing of
an alley or the qualifications Of dog
catcher or any other insignificant detail
Of petty government whoch a sergeant
of police might decide!
1.-The people of the District of Column
bia are entitled to the right of self
determination, and II Congress will not
relinquish its Oligarchy completely. I
suggest that in the interest of economy
they delegate such authority to at least
five feudal lords or commissioners, who
should be headed by an imperial
potentate or dictator or some kind Of
an administrator whose duty it would
be to perform all the functions Of gov
ernment which now, unfortunately, take
SO much valuable time Of the dis
tinguished members of Congress. whose
time could and should be more profitably
employed in the interest of the unem-
ployed and our overburdened taxpayers.
Even alien races. under the domina-
tion Of foreign governments, and even
those In our own Government who are
not a hegemonious entity, have more
liberties today than have the citizens

NEW HOUSE MEMBER CHAMPIONS
CAUSE OF VOTELESS DISTRICT
HoeppeI of California Broad
casts Views in Congress
sionaI Record.
Cites $125,O00 a Day Cost
of Deliberations on Cfy's
Affairs.

The plight Of the voteless citizens OF
the National Capital, who are denied q
vote and voice in the Congress that
makes the laws under which they live,
has found q new champion among the
flrst-term members, Representative
John H. Hoeppel Of California.
Pointing out that the residents Of the
District of Columbia have absolutely
no voice in the conduct Of their own
affairs" Mr.. Hoeppel has broadcast to
the people all over the country through
the Congressional Record his conviction
that the people resident in the Nations
Capital should have voting represent
alton, in part as follows:
"I am a firm believer in State rights
and the self-determination of the
people IN all problems which concern
them. Here we have the monarchical
Of Congress upon q corporate entity
without in any way ascertaining the
wishes of the inhabitants thereof Des-
pite the fact that the citizens of the
District Of Columbia are typical Of the
highest type citizenry in American life,
and despite the fact that numerically
they are at least five times greater than
IS the entity of the State Of Nevada,
nevertheless, Nevada, with its total pop
ulation OF less than one-fifth of the
District Of Columbia. has two votes in
the Senate and one in the House.
"The District Of Columbia has abso-
lutely no voice in. the conduct Of its
own affairs. Within q democracy, I
protest monarchial action by any one
body over another without permitting
the people so governed to express them
selves on the issues involved.
In this same connection digres
to state that in my opinion Q Demo-
cratic reorganization Of Congress itself
is necessary in order that the voice Of
the new members-elect may be equally
heard. The fetters and incongruities
existing in seniority or divine right Of
rule should be abrogated in the interest
Of representative government.
I'VE have heard q great deal in ref
erence to economy, yet We here today
are debating questions involving the
liberties not of an alien but Of kindred
people. and at the expense Of the tax
