 ''These fellows were identified by O'Brien as a MT. Partridge, G. K. Munson and w. A. Hill, attor- neys. O'Brien said the trio accom- panied him to Washington and that Beach returned to the Ithaca, N. Y. office of the Associated Gas and Electric Securities Sales organiza- ton.
 Discussed Points
 O'Brien said that George Smith, friend of Hill and also engaged in the utility business participated in the hotel room conference here.
 Did you discuss testimony" Black asked.
 "We discussed certain points, O'Brien said.
 O'Brien was recalled to the wit ness chair to complete his story of his part in the fight by the Asso- ciated Gas and Electric against the Wheeler-Rayburn bill.
 The committee was moving up- stream in it's questioning of Asso- ciated Gas & Electric officials in an effort to reveal the whole picture of the barrage of telegrams and letters laid down on congressman ministration utilities bill. Already 1t has been shown that the lobby against the bill spent more than $1, 100000.
 Higher A. c. E. officials were to be called in for questioning.
 o'Brien testified that he dis cussed with the A. G. p. attorneys testimony presented to the senate committee by L. 4. Show, Western Union manager at Erie, in which shew testified that o'Brien offered to aid in restoring destroyed rec- ords of teiegrains against the utlll- ties bill.

(Continued from Page 1.) the city was yellow with glaring, blazing sunlight that seemed al- most able to wither anything in its path.
 Relief Tonight
 Relief may come tonight, with the weatherman predicting show CTS that will bring at least tempo rary relief. More showers are pre- dicted for tomorrow.
 Those not woking today and able to leave the city were doing so in large numbers, with country, sea- shore and lake as their destina- tions. Those who had to work through the ennervating heat suf- fered great discomfort, for the heat of the clinging, sticky variety.
 Hospitals reported no prostra- tions from, the heat, but several were reported having been treated by doctors after being partially overcome. Outdoor workers pur- sued their tasks amid real hard ships. with the blazing sun beat ing down on them and sending sweat rolling down their bodies.
 Cold drinks were in popular de- mand all day long at soda foun- tains and drug stores, while many sought relief with a glass or two of beer. Ice cream was another fa- vorite.
 It appdnred highly probable early this afternoon that the 97 mark, last weeks record for the summer, would be passed before or 3:30 this afternoon. There was even possibility that the mer- cury might climb high enough to threaten the century mark.
 Connecticut Victims Three more victims were added today to Connecticut's heat toll.
 Joseph Siefel. 47, New Britain, collapsed while working in a shade-grown tobacco field at Gran- by and died on hour later from sun stroke.
 Robert Blackmar, II, negro, Danielson was drow e d in Assawaga river and Joseph La Roche, 75, Norwich, lost his life in Yantic river into which he fell while standing on the bank. Alexander Gjunnanaritz, and twoother persons were overcome at Bridgeport.
 Although the temperatures failed to reach last weeks high mark of 97, the humidity was depressing and the weather bureau at New Haven predicted continuance of the heat wave which. in the last week, has indirectly taken IT lives.

Securities Exchange Commission, a
new issue Of these participating GER
tificates would be put on the market
by underwriters, among whom Dillon
Reed &, Co. may figure prominently.
One question Of interest here now
is the price at which the participating
certificates would be sold. The regis
tration statement of the North Amer
ican Co. declares that the maximum
price of these certificates would be
not more than $50 each.
On the Washington Stock Exchange
this morning Washington Railway &
Electric common stock quotations
were $500 bid and $500 asked.
This $50 is a maximum figure only.
If the company received this amount
for each of its 1.554,92 participating
shares, it would, according to a
theoretical computation, realize
handsome profit.
The registration statement shows
$27 7,370,644 in earnings has been
turned back to the Washington Rail-
way g. Electric by the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. in the past 10 years
into plant extensions. improvements
and equipment. This gross, it was
pointed out in the financial district
today, is on the basis of a value of
more than $400 a share on the COM
mon stock.
How much the North American Co
paid for its 62,197 shares of common
stock is not known exactly to any
one except company officials. 1t was
learned, however, in the financial dis.
trict today that one block of about
$1,000 shares of this stock was pur-

Striking at the A. A. A. benefits,
the Senator said:
We must not delude our
selves that temporary relief, provided
through pumping emergency Govern
ment funds into any State or COM
munity, has brought about perma-
nent solution for deep-seated eco.
nomic adjustments.
These enormous expenditures have
provided merely temporary stimulants
like the administration Of a drug
without permanent benefit to busi-
ness"
In introducing his f1ve-point farm
program, the Senator declared no pro-
gram can be advanced with flnality
until the Supreme Court passes upor
the legality Of processing taxes.
Should these be held unconstitu-
tional, he said, "the A. A. A. passes
into oblivion as complete as that
which has descended upon N. r. A
All that can be outlined today, there

and politically.

chased from Washington banks at a
price of around s63 share.
These shares. if broken down into
25 participating certificates each. and
the certificates sold for $50 apiece,
would bring the North American Co. a
huge profit. 1t is known, however. that
North American paid a price much
higher than s63 for much of its Rail-
way common stock. Some Of it is
known to have been bought for as high
as $500 and other shares proba bly,
higher. Railway stock ranged up to
a maximum of about $1,000 share
at the peak before the depression.
Further computations in the regis
tration statement based on the
amount of earnings turned back by
the power company into plant showed
retirements of obsolete property taken
of the books amounted to s6,703, 900,
leaving the net additions around
$40. .666.

DICKINSON OFFERS
AAA SUBSTITUTE
Equalization Fee Principle
Urged With Cooperative
Marketing of Crops.
BY theAAssociated Press

By theaAssociated Press.
MOUNT VERNON, Iowa, November
4.-Senotor Lester Dickinson. Re.
publican Of Iowa. persistent critic OF
the A. A. A.. today offered a Ave-
point farm program Of his own.
The Senator's proposal was his first
statement since the Farm Admin
istration's to victory in the corn
hog poll.
Senator Dickinson outlined the Ave
point plan in an address prepared for
delivery before the Annual Forum
Conference of Methodist Ministers
and Laymen at Cornell College here.
His program was:
1. Eliminate contradictions In Gov
ernment policy which seek on one
hand to limit crop production and
on the other to subsidize vast tr-
rigation and drainage projects.
2. Stabilize production through re-
tirement Of marginal land and stim-
ulate diversified farming to obtain
more balanced production.
3. Remove artificial controls and
bureaucratic regulations and develop
cooperative production and mar
keting.
4. Restore export markets through
price equalizing fees based on i'm
port tariff duties.
S. Revise taxation to reduce tax
burdens on farms and real property.
Scores Political Miracles"
Upon these principles" Senator
Dickinson said, ut Is possible. believe.
to build agriculture into q prosperity
that will be permanent. without re-
lance for its accomplishment upon
political miracles.
1T will be founded not upon optical
illusions produced by Government
magicians. but upon self reliance and
common sense"
The Senator readily admitted that
conditions throughout the farm states
were better" but denied that the
A. A. A. was responsible.
LAS I shall try to show. this is due
more to a wise and beneficent Provi-
dence. which balances a year Of bad
crops with a year Of good crops
and redresses drought with an abun-
dance of rainfall, than to the course
Of treatments which has been pre-
scribed from Washington.
These. judged by the results that
have attended them. although bear
ing the label Of planned economy"

be trusted with the operation Of au-
tomobiles in traf11c Is proposed by the
Trinidad Citizens Association in a
resolution adopted on motion of Mar
tin @. Stecker, treasurer Of the asso-
citation.
The proposal, offered as something
new In the way OF solving Washing
tons trafiic troubles" is intended to
mot only bar all reckless drivers"
but to deny a permit to any person
who might prove to be a potential
reckless driver"
Much of our traffic trouble and
practically all our traffic deaths and
serious accidents are due to the fact
that powerful machines are too often
operated by persons who are unfit

with the operation Of complicated
mechanism that fits into a highly
civilized state of society, not into a
society of clinical interiors;" 1t was
explained.
These interiors. as any anthro-
pologist well knows, are found in all
walks Of life, in all countries. and
among all races. But, for obvious
reasons. they are very numerous in
and around Washington. These in
feriors are good citizens. pay their
taxes, 60 to church and all that sort
Of thing. but they are not fit to drive

1.-THE trick Is to subject all drivers,
both those now possessing q permit

the future, to a test that will bring
out their inferiority. We might call
this for the sake OF ready compre-
hensibility. the civilization test

its regular meeting on this day. there

ton:
Resolved, That attention of the
Commissioners OF the District of Co.

ability that the Traffic Bureau CO.

of $1,353,141,000.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Banking troubles Of 1888 were re-
fiected yesterday in an analysis Of
corporation tax returns for that cal
endar year, made public by the Treas
ury.
The report showed that while the
Nations major industrial groups cut
their collective deficit of 1882 by 81
r. cent they remained $l,353,l4l. .o00

OF that figure $l,106. .446,00o rep.
resented the collective deficit shown
l.. l2l .6S3 returns representing bank
ing, insurance, real estate, stock and
bond brokers, ETC."
Method Of Determine ton.
This statutory deficit was deter
mined by deducting cost Of goods
sold, cost of other operations, compen-
sation of officers, rent paid on busi-
ness property. interess paid. taxes. bad
debts, depreciation. depletion and loss
from sale of capital assets" from
gross sales, gross receipts from other
operations. interest, rents. profits from
sale of capital assets, miscellaneous
receipts, dividends from domestic cor
porations and interest on tax-exempt
obhg .tions."
In 1882 the collective corporation
deficit was $4,ll4,9l8,O0O, while in the
banner year of 1929 collective profits
of $40 ,676. .O7l 900 were reported.
Largest profits of any group in 1888
were reported by food and kindred
products" manufacturers with a net
of Sl69 ,235 900. while transportation
and other public utilities showed a net
of sl51 $3.50.
The net deficit Of all corporations
before payment of income and excess
profits taxes. was listed at $930.073,-
900. compared with $3,829, ,000, 900 In
the previous year.
Income Tax Receipts Up.
The department said its income tax
receipts from corporations gained ASS
per cent in 1888. amounting to S416,-

before.
Cash dividends paid by corporations
dropped 1875 per cent in 1888 to $3.-
1877, 100000. In 1892 such payments
totaled 1886 ,OOO, 900. OnciaIs ex-
planned that in 1882 the practice OF
continuing dividends, even though un-
earned. was widespread.
The department received 446 ,842 re-
turns from active corporations cover
ing operations in 1893. which was 1 /
per cent less than the previous year,
when 452 ,884 returns were made. This
shrinkage was attributed to a cleaning
out Of depression debris in the ranks
of business.
