GOVERNOR SEIZED
BY VOLATILE HUEY
Mississippi Executive Has to
Be Pulled Into Longs
Big Parade.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
JACKSON, Miss, November H.
Huey P. Long burst in on jackson
today, astonished the populace, awed
the politicians. watched his Tigers
overwhelm the University of Missis-
sippi and went back home on his
foot ball special.
Jackson had never seen anything
like it before. Huey was more of an
attraction than the biggest circus.
He had to use eight of his Louisiana
motor cycle police to hold the crowds
back and permit him to pass at the
head of his famous L. S. U. Band.
Huey loves that band and enjoys
showing it off. The band is famed
for having two of the fancieSt strut
ting bandmasters at large. but the
"Kinghsh' outstrutted them when ii
swung into his favorite martial tunes
He would swing his arms windmill
fashion and cakewalk down the main
street.
Governor Is Abashed.
He gave the public a great show,
but he slightly embarrassed Missis
SippiS own public men. The mayor
met him at the beginning of the
parade. but Gov. Sennett Conner had
to be pulled of of the front porch
of the mansion by Long aide before
he would join the parade.
A bit abashed at the hearty and
robust invading Senator, Gov Conner
took his place beside Long and
marched from the mansion to the
new Capitol, where the Louisiana
and Mississippi bands gave concert
in which the crowd sang songs, led
by Long
Conner told Long he couldn't get
through the crowd to the station to
greet him and his party of 400.
Senator-elect Theodore G. Bilbo
was not in evidence during the pa
rade. He sat in box at the game
next to Gov. Conner, but did not 60
out to greet Long when he crossed
over to the Mississippi side before
the game.
Refuses to Speak.
Long invaded the foot ball field at
the head of his band. but deserted it
at the goal posts and started out to
greet friends. The crowd yelled for
speech, but Huey said:
II didn't come up here to polite.
I came up here to see foot ball
game"
On the way up, Long expressed re-
sentiment over published accounts
that he was using the university foot
ball team for his own political ad-
vancement.
why, that's crazy talk" he said.
"I love foot ball. We have the finest
team in America and I am ready to
prove it."

interesting problem; that he would
like to take a little time to work it
out. He said he would call back
He did not. and when he was called
later he said he was still working
on it.
The reporter took his problem direct
to another mathematician. calling him
on the telephone. The mathematician
thought few moments and then an
swered: Il would like to work 1t out,
but it might take little while. Come
over to see me-"
A Formula Fails.
The reporter and the mathemati-
clan got together for three hours and
discovered this formula in a textbook
nPr=n(n-D (n-2 ... n-r+D
In the formula represents the
number of digits, which is 10; rep
resents the number of digits in the
combination, which is 3, and repre-
Sents the unknown quantity.
In multiplying nj, n-2. etc. by
n the multiplication is continued until
n-r plus is equal to g. In this
case the formula, translated into fig
! ures, would be:
P=10X9X8
which produces 720 as the result
But 720 is not correct. The reason
it is not correct, said the mathemati-
clan, is that it fails to take into con-
sideration the use of the same nu-
neral twice or more in the same COM
bination, such as 1888.
Found-at Last!
The mathematician said he knew
the answer should be 900. but could
not express it by formula. So the
mathematician went to bed and the
reporter went home with a headache.
Next morning the mathematician
called and said the formula should be:
Pm raised to the third power
n is 10, the number of digits and
there are three digits in the combina-
ton. P is therefore 1000. If there
were four dlgits in the combination
P would be raised to the fourth power,
or 10000. etc.
The mathematician seemed much
relieved. So was the reporter.
Still another professional man, spe-
cializing in applied mathematics, said
the number of combinations would be
10000. But" he added. you better
verify it."
In the meantime, the gentleman in
The Star business Office had figured
the problem out by setting down the
numerals DOL. 002. 003. etc. until
there were 999 combinations He i'm
mediately discovered that the single
remaining combination, 900, brought
the total to 1000.

CHARGE of Waste Will Be
Expanded in Forum Ad-

Senator William E Borah of Idaho,
whose recent charges of waste in Gov

focused public attention on that SUBJ

tional Radio Forum at 1890 O'Clock
tomorrow night. The National Radio
Forum is arranged by The Washing

Starting with this week, the forum
program is being changed from

1t is expected the Idaho Senator,
one of the outstanding orators in pub
lie life today. will elaborate on his
views of the emergency relief problem
Overhead Held Too High.
Senator Borah is not opposed to
the granting of relief to those in need,
but in discussing the question recently
he called for an inquiry into the cost
of administering relief funds. He has
declared that 40 to so per cent of
the total funds in some instances go
for administration.
When he first called attention to
the subject q week ago, Senator
Borah said:
Every one wants to see those who
need relief get relief, but millions
never reached those who need it. The
amount expended before it gets to
those in need is appalling. I have
had brought to my attention instances
in which the cost, or expense of ad-
ministering a fund was about half OF
the fund to be administered.

officials of the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration took cognizance
of the Idaho Senator's charges, and
several days ago sent an investigator
to confer with Mr. Borah as a prelim-
mary step toward inquiring into the
subject.
Aside from the relief problem, Sen
ator Borah also has indicated recently
that he has we'll defined views on the
trend that future recovery legislation
should take, and he undoubtedly will
play an important part In discussion
of these questions at the coming ses-

GRAIN TRADE ACT
D|SBARS OH|OANS
Pair Dropped for Six Months
After Hearing on
Transactions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
The first disbarment of a grain
trader under the 13-year -old grain
futures act came yesterday when the
Grain Futures Commission ordered
withdrawal of trading privileges for
six months from Adrain Ettinger and
Ewing w. Brand of Cleveland. Ohio
Enacted in 1921 to curtail activities
of market spectators, the law had
not been used until January /, 1894,
when the action against Ettinger and
Brand was instituted. The case was
based on their market transactions
during May. June and July of 1898.
Subsequently the commission cited
Arthur W. Cutten of the Chicago
Board of Trade for alleged short mar
ket operations. 1t is now studying
evidence on the case presented at a
hearing last Spring. Action is ex-
pected within short time.
Proceedings Begun.
Secretary Wallace yesterday an
nounced Institution of proceedings
against Thomas M. Howell, also of
the Chicago Board of Trade. charg-
ing that he and nine associates cor
nered the July corn futures market
in 1881 and engineered IA per cent
price rise for period of three days.
The commission, in announcing the
Punishment of Ettinger and Brand
from all United States markets, de-
clared the light punishment was Or
oeTed because the two men were ig-
norant OF the law and its regulations.
Both admitted, the commission
said, most OF the essential charges of
the original complaint, which alleged
that they violated the act by failing
to keep records, by concealing trans
actions on the Chicago Board of
Trade, by making false reports, and
by giving the names of fictitious per-
sons as parties to trading transac-
tionS.
Fictitious Names.
The commission said they also ad-
mitted carrying accounts of grain fu-
lures contracts under the names of
fictitious persons on their books. They
denied making false reports. but ad-
mitted such reports were made by an
employe. The commission ruled that
employers are responsible under the
act for such actions of employees.
Ettinger and Brand testified at the
hearing that their experience in the
grain market was limited, that they
followed what they thought was a
general practice in carrying accounts
under fictitious names, and that they
did not know they were violating the
act.
Institution of the three proceedings
brought the charge in Congress last
Spring that Secretary Wallace was
attempting to influence enactment of
further commodity exchange regula-
ton measures.
Wallace denied that any such pur-
pose was behind the proceedings,
pointing out that some of the actions
were begun before such legislation
was submitted to Congress.
