Order in Court!
Doctors Tickle
Judges Toes

LOS ELES, Feb. 7
Q.N.S0 w h n physicians
tickled the bare left foot of
Superior Judge Francis j. Heney,
his bare right foot wiggled in
sympathy at Judge Heney's
$55, 900 damage suit against the
Pullman Company on trial here
yesterday.
They we're demonstrating the
intricacies of the "Babinski
reflex" test.
DR.. Ross Moore said the
twitching of the judges right
foot when the left was tickled
indicated there had been dis.
turbance of the motor nerve
center, but DR.. Arthur Hoffman,
called by the Pullman Company,
ticked both feet in an effort to
show the reactions were only
normal in a man IS years old"
Judge Heney claims he suf.
fered severe shock when he
was put off a railroad train at
the wrong station at night.

CALF FORN|ANS
ASKFLOODFUND

A united California congres-
Sional delegation today went be-
fore the House Flood Control Com
mittee urging approval of the ITO
million-dollar central California
valley water project.
Representative Buck not only
declared that it is vitality neces-
sary, but said that work could be-
gin 10 days after approval is given,
thus furnishing employment.
Senator McAdoo criticized the
PWA for failure to give a definite
answer to a request for advance of
funds. He said:
I'VE had hoped that the
PWA would give prompt action,
but none has been given. If
this is to be reIegated to the
PWA it should be compelled to
make some report. They have
made no report, so we now
come to Congress"
Three bills were before the
committee. Two, sponsored by
Representatives Buck and Stubbs,
are identical. They provide for
a federal grant to the California
Water Authority.
Because of wide advocacy of
federal ownership of water-power
Representative Buck announced
that he was also introducing a
bill to create a second Tennessee
Valley Authority in California.
Representative Rich (RO Penn
sylvania, served notice he would
oppose the second proposal.

he asserted, told the men that
they must go back to work under
the terms worked out by Mr..

asked:

"Well, he 'intimated unless

COURT QUASHES
ARSON CASE

The arson charge against Ed
ward j. PARTON, son of a promin-
ent Derby Comm physician, and
Albert H. Smith in connection
with the Sigma Chi fraternity
house fire a year and half ago,
were dropped today in District
Supreme Court.
1t is believed that instructions
for dropping the case were given
to United States Attorney Leslie
C. Garnett by Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings, who had
taken a personal interest in the
case.
The two young men were con-
victed of the charge in District
Supreme Court. The fire occurred
July 9, 1898. They defended on
the ground that they were en- route
to New Freedom, Pa, in an auto
mobile at the time the blaze broke
out.
After they had carried their case
to the District Court of Appeals
and the Government had opposed
their request for a new trial, Attor-
ney General Cummings took the
unique action of filing a confession
of error in the appellate court,
stating he had personally inveSti-
gated the case and did not think
the evidence warranted a convic-
ton.
The Court of Appeals set aside
the conviction last Monday.

Congressional attention was
turned today toward national pre-

duced in the Senate by Senator
Clark DD of Missouri, one to
give the President power to draft
men, take over industrial enter
prise and control material re-
sources in event of war.
Senator Clark's bills also pro-
vide for the formation of new
agencies in case of war which
would be empowered to pass on
security flotations, insure Amer
lean commerce against hazards of
war, and help finance industry
needed to help the nations cause.
Meanwhile a House committee
endorsed a measure which would
give the President the follow

Mr.. Chappell said in a later
meeting Mr.. Weaver and Captain
Williams were accompanied by
DR.. Sloan. He was asked how
the clergyman came to attend
the conference. He replied:
Captain Williams, Weaver

meeting"
The witness said Mr.. Weaver
and Captain Williams both said
they were sent to Camden by Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson. NRA chief, who
had in turn discussed the strike
with President Roosevelt.
The trouble was finally settled

suggested, the labor conciliator
said.
Lucius B. Manning, chairman
of the board of the New York
Shipbuilding Corporation and of
the Cord Corporation, which pur.
chased the former firm in 1888,

the reasons for purchase of the

said it looked like a good invest,

read the newspapers could see
that there was new business
