COURTROOM
Lorenzo Del Re Seized When
He Tries to Attend Trial
Of Alleged AssaiIant

The father of a 6-year-old girl
was seized in the District Su.
preme Court today when, armed
with a pistol, he sought to enter
the courtroom to attend the trial
of a man accused of criminally
attacking his child.
Taken to police headquarters
by Deputy United States Marshal
George Killeen, the prisoner iden-
titled himself as Lorenzo Del Re,
plaSterer, of the 1900 block
Kenyon st. N. w.
In the court room Francis H.
Harding was on trial, charged
with the attack on Del Res small
daughter. AS Del Re entered the
room, Deputy Marshal Killeen
stepped up to him and, upon
learning he was carrying a small
80 caliber pistol, hurried him out.
The incident was executed so
quietly and quickly that few OBJ
served it and the trial proceeded
without delay. It was expected
the case will be completed today.
Record show that Harding was
convicted in the District Supreme
Court in May, 1881, of attempting
a criminal attack on a young
woman in the Wardman Park
Hotel. He was sentenced to q
year and a day imprisonment,
but was paroled after serving

Since the gold crisis arose in

Since the good old days Of the

and other work has gone up. In

to pay $50 an ounce for gold,
and even that was not pure gold,
but alloyed.
Today the dentist must pay
$55 an ounce for the same gold.

HOLDING FIRM
BAN RAPED BY
POWER CHIEF
William Chamberlain Tells
House Group Proposed Law
Means "Shocking Loss"
International News Service

Immediate simplification of the
holding company structure can
not be brought about without
shocking losses" to investors
William Chamberlain, of Chicago
chairman of the United Electric
Light and Power Company, today
told the House Interstate Com
merce Committee.
Testifying in opposition to the
Administrators bill abolishine
utility holding companies by 194C
Mr.. Chamberlain said present in
veStment market conditions are
unfavorable for absorption OF
liquidated securities. He as
serted:
"The bill would bring about q
forced sale of securities on a
limited market. In fact, it is
doubtful if a market could be
found at ALL"
CITES GAS FIRMS
He referred particularly to vari
GUS gas companies controlled by
his organization. including the
Detroit City Gas Company, Mil
waukee Gas Light Company, San
Antonio Service Company, Grand
Rapids Gas Light Company, ano
the Milwaukee Coke and Gas
Company. Most of the common
stock of these operating com
panies is held by the American
Light and Traction Company, a
subholding company. Mr.. Cham
berlain testified:
"NOt only would we be forced
to sell the common stock on a
limited market but in a period
when earnings of these Operat-
ing companies are low and the
stocks unattractive to inveS-
tors"
He added that at the present
Milwaukee and Detroit consum
ers were obtaining the cheapest
gas rates of any cities in the coun.
try. He said:
"YOu can't bring about sim
plificatiOn of the holding COM
pany structure without shock
ing loss to investors until we
have better market conditions.
That is something neither Con.
gress, the executive depart
ment nor the utility men them
selves can control"
ACCOUNTING RAPED
AS step toward elimination
of uneconomic practices by hold
ing companies, he suggested rig
orous supervision of accounting
methods which he claimed led to
great evils in the utility field.
Charles w. Kellogg, of New
York, president of the Engineers
Public Service C mpany, pre-
dicted the common stock held by
that corporation would be wiped
out should the bill be enacted.
He said:
"A more perfect mechanism
for destruction of value could
hardly be devised"

RELIEF BATTLE
SWINGING To
IMITATION
Senate Faces Problem of Fund
Appropriation; Sen. Thomas
Wants Silver Currency
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service
After voting President Roose-
velt two smashing victories against
efforts of the conservatives to
slash his $4,S8O, 100000 work re.
lief bill, the Senate today faced
the question of providing for pay
ment of the huge appropriation
The question was raised by
Senator Thomas CD of Okla.
homa, in an amendment calling
for mandatory initiation OF the
currency through silver. Senator
Thomas said it would not raise
revenue directly to finance the
huge relief program but it would
SO expand the currency as to
make it easier for taxpayers "to
secure funds for payment OF the
taxes necessary to meet this
staggering debt burden"
Two Other Proposals
Two other proposals to pay the
cost directly were waiting consid'
Grafton. One plan. by Senator
Wheeler CD of Montana, would
finance the bill by issuing United
States Treasury notes to be re-
tired over a long period OF years.
This inflationary plan would
switch the financing of the Gov
ernment's shifting debt burden
from short-time interestcbearing
notes to non-interest bearing
paper money.
The other proposal, introduced
by Senator Townsend (R) of Della
ware, would force the Administra-
tion to start balancing the budget.
It would prevent expenditure OF
any part of the 1000 million dol
lars work relief fund until the Gov
ernment issued long-term bonds,
similar to liberty bonds, and fl
nanced their amortization through
imposition of new taxes. 1t would
not affect the $50 million dollars
set aside for direct relief.
Defeat Indicated
A distinctly contrary move, by
Senator La Toilette (R. of Wis
consin, to increase the already
huge appropriation to $500 mil
lion dollars, was frowned upon on
all sides. La Toilette would use the
proposed increase to finance a
long-term Federal construction
program.
All four propositions appeared
doomed to defeat. The Admins
tration semed to have regained
absolute control of the frequently
rebellious Senate. The defeat ad-
ministered the McCarranites on
the prevailing wage issue vir-
tually broke the backbone of the
Presidents opposition.
One effort to reduce the fund
to 1880 million dollars was
beaten 81 to 66. Another to
slash it to 1880 million dollars
was defeated 80 to ST. A third
to limit expenditure of the fund
until June 80, 1886, istead of
until July /, 1887, as desired by
the President, was rejected also by
a 80 to ST vote. Other amend
ments we're whipped without a
record roll-call, including one to
give World War veterans prefer
ence on relief projects.

House Committee Approves
Subsidy to Bring Fleet Up
To Parity With Europe
By ALFRED T. NEWBERRY
International News Service

The merchant marine, as it
Gtands today, would be of little
assistance to the nation in event
Of war, the House Merchant Ma
zine Committee disclosed today.
OF the 282 American vessels
carrying the mails, 220 were for
merry owned by the old Shipping
Boards Emergency Fleet Corpo-
ration and are practically obso-
1ete, Treasury and Commerce De-
partment spokesmen testified.
These ships are unable to COM
pete with the faster and more
modern ships of the foreign lines
for Americas passenger and
cargo traffic much less being
able to play any important part
in the nations defense during
any armed conflict.
The committee, of which Rep
resentative Bland CD of Virginia
is chairman, is battling against
time to formulate the Govern
ment subsidy President Roosevelt
asked Congress to authorize for
the merchant marine to place it
on a parity with foreign operators.
Mr., Bland wants to have a pro-
gram drafted before April 30,
when the law allowing the Presl-
dent to cancel ocean mail con-
tracts expires.
South Trimble, jr., counsel for
the Department of Commerce,
cited the worn-out condition the
merchant ships compared with
those of foreign countries whose
operators are granted government
subsidies.
Drafting Program
Mr.. Bland is proceeding with
the task of drafting a subsidy
program without any assistance
from the White House, beyond
the Presidents message asking
Congress to give the merchant
marine a Government subsidy
and discontinue the present prac-
tice of giving subsidy under the
guise of ocean mail contracts.
He shares Mr.. Roosevelt'S be-
lief that the merchant marine
should be revamped at cnce, with
fleets of new, fast vessels which
will enable the American flag to
regain some of the prestige it
held on the seas and recapture
the American trade now given
to the modern and fast ships OF
the foreign lines.
