BAILEY RETURNS
TO FIGHT M'N|NCH
Indication Is Expected of
Extent of Protest on
Reappointment.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
With the return to Washington to-
day Of Senator Bailey, Democrat, Of
North Carolina, some indication was
expected of the extent to which he
will carry his protest against the re-
appointment Of Frank r. McNinch,
also Of North Carolina, as chairman
of the Federal Power Commission.
Chairman Wheeler Of the Interstate
Commerce Committee held up action
on the nomination pending Bailey's
return. McNinch was given a recess
appointment as power chairman by
President Roosevelt Just after Con-
gress adjourned last June. His name
was sent to the Senate last week for
confirmation.
Although Bailey is not expected to
raise the point, McNinch is per
sonally obnoxious" to him-a point
that would defeat McNinch unless
Senate tradition were overruled-he
is expected to raise his voice loud
enough to be heard back home.
Whether Bailey will ask to be heard
by Wheeler's committee before any ac-
tion is taken remained to be seen.
Senator Reynolds, Bailey's COL
league. also is opposing McNinch's
appointment. but he has intimated he
will not wage an open fight against
confirmation
McNinch is being opposed on the
grounds he bolted the Democratic
party in 1928 and led the successful
anti-Smith campaign in North Caro-
lima.

Death Valley Is Deepest
Drv Depression in u. s

Death valley proper is about 100
miles from north to south and from
two to eight miles wide, and 1t lies
In the midst Of a vast region Of
rugged, barren ranges and gorges.
It Is the deepest dry depression in
the United States, most Of it lying
from 200 to $50 feet below sea level,
observes a writer In the New York
Times. 1t Is shut In by the Pana-
mint, Cottonwood, Grapevine and
Funeral mountains, the ranges ris-
ing abruptly on every side. Less
than 100 miles away is Mount
Whitney, the highest peak In the
United States, with an elevation Of
1896 feet.
Varying stories are told Of the
disasters which gave the valley its
sinister name. The most generally
accepted one Is to the effect that a
party of 80 emigrants, on their way
to- the California gold fields, entered
the valley by mistake, lost their
way and persisted Of thirst. 9th
ers believe that the party was at
tackled by Indians and fought, with
their wagons in a circle, until the
last man fell. Two survivors are
said to have reached the coast. It
Is thought, too, that the travellers
may have drunk from poisonous
springs, Of which there are many
In the valleys hemming mountains.

DIR. J. M. Boldly,
Unique Figure,
Dies Suddenly

DIR. J. M. Boldly, one of the Twin
Cities most unique figures, died
early last Sunday morning at his
home, 211 West 26th St., Minneap-
oils.
Princeton Graduate
DIR. Boldly was 70 years. old and
was a native of Wrightsville, Pa.
A graduate of Lincoln University
at Chester, Pa, he was among the
few Negroes to matriculate at the
Princeton Theological Seminary
from which he received his DID.
Later he studied medicine at the
Albany, N. Y, College of Medicine,
receiving in 1906 his M. D. from
that institution.
In Troy, N. Y, he pastored a
Presbyterian church, practicing
medicine at the same time. He
served that church for many years.
His last charge was Zion Presby-
terrain of St. Paul. Loss of his
hearing finally forced him to aban-
don both of the professions for
which he was trained.
In later life he became care
taker in south Minneapolis.
Student of Negro History
His withdrawal from public life
did not lessen his interest in his
people. A keen researching stu
dent of Negro history in its rela-
ton to the western hemisphere, DR..
Boldly exploded many current fall
lacies regarding the Negroes part
in the development of the New
World. He was a prolific writer
for the leading daily and weekly
papers.

Brewery Head
Sees Fairness of
Papers Stand
Jacob Kunz, Minneapolis Brewing
Co. Head, COnfers With
Newman

A conference which may mean
victory for this paper in its cam
paign for Negro workers in the FIVE
Twin City breweries was held Mon
day of this week.
Taking part in the conference
were Jacob Kunz, pioneer Mime
apois brewing industry leader,
and president of the Minneapolis
Brewing Co., Cecil E. Newman,
publisher of the Minneapolis
Spokesman and the st. Paul Re-
corder, and Hamlet B. Rowe, ac-
tive North Side Minneapolis
political leader.
Alderman Witch Brings About
Conference
The conference was arranged by
Mr.. Kunz after several influential
citizens, including Alderman Matt
Witch, 18th Ward, Minneapolis,
had talked over the matter with
him.
After talking over various phases
of the situation, Mr.. Kunz told Mr..
Newman that he would be willing
to employ two colored people, and
he asserted that he believed the
four other breweries would take
the same stand. He considered the
matter simply from a point of fair
ness, he said.
Other Conferences Planned
He suggested that similar con-
ferences should be arranged with
the heads of the Gluek Brewery,
Hamms, Schmidts, and Yoergs.
Such work as probably will be
obtained from the breweries will be
in the offices at the plants, as
union labor controls the workers
in the brewing manufacturing end.
If the other breweries decide to
line up with Mr.. Kunz, Newman
promised to cease the agitation
carried on weekly for the past six
months in the two papers against
the five breweries.
Ten persons would eventually be
placed in jobs if the remaining
firms acquiesce.

Popular Gordon Setter
Always Gentleman's Dog

There is little question that the
Gordon, like all settlers, comes Of
very old stock, writes Frank f.
Dole in the New York Herald Trib-
nue.. His markings would seem to
show that he was one Of the early
varieties in England. He is marked
exactly like the black and tan ter
rier and as were some Of the old
setting spaniels from which set
tiers were produced. AS in the ter
rier, the markings of the Gordon
are closely defined and there is no
suggestion Of running over Of
colors.
The Gordon setter has always
been a gentleman's dog. He takes
his name from a British nobleman,
who, although not the founder Of
the breed, had much to do with its
early development. This was the
duke Of Gordon, who lived at the
beginning Of the Nineteenth CEN
fury.
The Gordon is a heavier dog than
the English or Irish setter, and
makes up in strength what he may
lack In speed. It is true that the
Gordon does not work rapidly
enough to do much in field trials.
The English and Irish settlers, be-
ing lighter dogs, cover the ground
more rapidly and where speed
counts and the number Of coveys
flushed means everything, the Cor
don is forced to take second place.
AS an all-round good hunting
dog, beautiful animal and a loyal
pal, there Is none that surpasses
the black and tan Gordon setter.

Central-Heated Britain
Result of Gulf Stream

The famous Gulf stream, which
makes the British isles temperate
when they ought to be sub-Arctic,
is an ocean river, says a writer In
Tit-Bits Magazine. 1t keeps one
quarter Of the water Of the North
Atlantic on the move, and Is COM
puted to pour 4S6, 600, 600, 600 tons Of
water past Florida daily. The DIFF.
ference Of temperature between the
stream and the adjacent water,
even as far from its source In the
Caribbean sea as Newfoundland, is
80 degrees, and the color Is indigo
blue. Its maximum speed Of flow L.
four miles an hour. The cause Of
this flow is probably the difference
in density, the stream water being
much heavier by reason Of excess
sive saltiness, consequent upon
tropical evaporation. Its direction
is determined by the narrow pas
sage it has to negotiate In escap-
ing from the gulf Of Mexico. Its
effect in tempering our climate In
best illustrated by the fact that the
coolest place In the world, where
the thermometer is commonly so
degrees below zero, in eastern 81
IBERIA, Is In the same latitude as the
Orkneys.

Common House Fly Lays
Egg That Matches Maggot

The house fly undergoes a COM
plete change of form in it's develop
ment from the egg to the perfect
fly. The larvae Of the house flies
are popularity known as "maggots. +"
House flies breed In almost any de-
caying matter of an animal or veg
etable nature. Horse manure forms
the chief substance in which the
larvae are found, and heaps Of such
manure are the principal breeding
places of these insects.
A single fly is capable of deposit
ing from 100 to $50 eggs at one
time, and five or six such patches
of eggs may be deposited during the
fy's life. The eggs are oval in
shape, one end being slightly broad
er than the other towards which
the egg tapers slightly. They are
pearly white in color. In warm
weather these eggs hatch in from
8 to "a hours after being laid. Be-
fore reaching maturity, the mag
gots cast their skins twice. Ac-
cording to the temperature, the
maggots may become full-grown In
five days. The full-grown larvae is
a creamy-white, legless maggOt.
The body tapers off from the mid
die to the anterior end
