SHORTAGE
VIEWS ASSA|LED
Commission Charged With
Erroneous Assumption by
Utility Spokesman.

By the Associated Press.
Accusing the Federal Power Com
mission Of using erroneous aSsump-
tiolls" leading to wrong conclusions
that a power shortage Is imminent, a
private utility spokesman said yester-
day excess electricity generating
capacity exceeded normal reserve re-
quirements by 20 per cent
Bernard F. Weadock, vice president
of the Edison Electric Institute, New
York, said in a statement the commits
sions theoretical peak demand for
power, 100000 kilowatts, was about
100000 kilowatts too high.
Quarrel Over Regulation.
Meantime a quarrel In another
power field, regulation of utilities, ran
on with an assertion by Chairman
Rayburn of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee that the pend
ing utility bill did not propose to take
regulatory power away from State
commissions.
Rayburn was referring to testimony
before the committee by H. Lester
Hooker, chairman of the Legislative
Committee of the National Associa-
tion of Railroad and Utilities Commits
sioners, who charged the bill "emascu-
lated and devastated" State commits
sion powers.
THE BILL" Rayburn said, docs not
contemplate the fixing of rates in any
State on power or gas"
Older Plants Capacity.
Weadock said commission engineers
arbitrarily disregarded a large amount
OF capacity in Older plants in their re-
port. evidently on the basis these are
no longer needed" These plants are
well able to produce in emergency.
he said, adding:
There is actually 5.942 900 kilowatts
OF installed capacity in the United
States more than the report shows,
and this amount is three times the
total net estimated shortage of 1861
900 kilowatts shown by the Federal
Power Commissions report"

given red tag which he may wear the

ribs, his recognition of Harper and how he had searched Harper's rooms and found the hat.
 As Hemingway approached the witness box he picked up the hat which the prosecution had intro duced in evidence and said to Haynes:
 ''Mr. Haynes, I ask you to tell the court and the jury just how you came into possession of this hat which you claim was stolen from you on the night of October 28."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-11-13

'Why, ah-it was purchased at Nolan's, down at the corner of Main and 3d streets" the wary Haynes replied.
 Did you pay for it?"
 Well, no, didn't. AS 8 matter of fact, Ed Allen paid for it."
 "On what occasion"
 "Well, Ed bet me that I wouldn't be elected chief of police, and bet him that I would"
 And having lost the wager, MT. Allen bought for you the hat in question:"
 Haynes was becoming sullen by this time. "Yes."
 MT. Haynes, are you aware of the law in this state prohibiting gambling?"
 There was no answer to the question.
 "So that, in the eyes of the law, the hat was not actually your prop erty?"
 T don't know"
 And could not, therefore, be stolen from you?" Again Haynes was silent. Hemingway then addressed the court: Your honor, the plaintiff has proved that the hat which he claims was stolen from him did not legally belong to him. There fore, he could not be robbed of it. The gun has been proved, by sub- sequent witness, to have been no gun at all, but an imitation which could harm no one. Therefore the charge of robbery with a gun can- not be sustained. I ask for direct ed verdict of not guilty"
 The Enquirer is the daily news paper in our town, and the next day it printed verbatim the courts decision in this case, handed down orally as old Jurge Green peered over his glasses at the squirming plaintiff:
 Tt appears that the plaintiff in this case seeks to have the defend- ant convicted of robbery with 8 gun, and that the object declared to have been stolen was one hat. But the testimony of both plaintiff and defendant has demonstrated that there was no robbery and no gun.
 "This court is in entire agree ment with counsel for the defend- ant, who points out with great jus tice that the plaintiff did not own the hat, and therefore it could not have been stolen from him. In- deed, his possession of this article of wearing apparel is so question: able that it is possible the prosecut- ing attorney may be forced to bring an action against MT.

BY THELMA GOODRICH

Jim Haynes, newly elected chief of police in our village, came into Joe's tavern one evening when three or four of us were gathered there, drinking bad whisky and discussing various weighty matters. At the moment we were talking about crime prevention and punishment and Haynes, with his usual hravado, announced that while he was chief of police no crime, however unim- portant, would go unpunished.
 He soon swaggered out and we remained, discussing him. I said it would be a good joke if some one robbed Haynes and Al Harper said he would like to do it himself. After some nonSensical discus sion of the proposition Al went out and came back shortly with a small wooden gun, saying that he meant to wait for Haynes that night near the latter's home and hold him up.
 What are you going to take from him?" I asked.
 He looked at me, saying slightly, and replied, "his hat"
 We didn't see Harper any more that evening, but the next morning he told me he had accomplished his purpose. In the cold light of day, however, the whole idea seemed rather silly and we soon forgot it. But Haynes didn't forget. One morning several weeks later he clustered into Joe Heminway's law office, the picture of vindic- tiveness.
 You'd better prepare a defense for you friend Harper" he said abruptly.
 "A defense for whatP" Hemingway countered.
 "For stealing my hat" Haynes re- piled. Robbery with gun. That lands @ man in jail for 8 good many years"
 But what makes you think Har- per stole your hat?"
 T saw that one of you had stolen my hat just to show me up, and I made up my mind that the descrip- tion of the man who did 1t fitted Harper, so I went around to his rooms yesterday with a search war rant and found the hat with my ini- tials scratched on the inside of the band"
 Hemingway told me later that he had been considerably worried about the whole affair, when, late in the afternoon on the Saturday before the trial, he overheard a conver- sation between two men who were standing on Main street discussing the case, and there gained his first real light on how to get Al Harper free of the charge against him.
 On Monday morning the court room was crowded when we came in. Haynes and his lawyer soon fol- lowed, the latter carrying the in- eliminating hat, which had not inn proved in appearance lying on the floor of Harper's closet.
 When the case of the People vs Harper was called Haynes was sworn in, and under questioning from his lawyer described to the court the time, place and circum- stances of the robbery, the gur which Harper had pressed into his

NEW YORK, July 27-Marked i'm
provement In the automotive parts
and accessories industries Is noted in
the current issue Of the Index, month
ly publication of the New York Trust
Co., which states that returns of 80
firms for the first quarter of 1885
reveal an income approximately twice
that of the first quarter of 1884.
Whereas in the earlier year gains
were more pronounced in the produc-
ton of replacement parts, the manu-
facture of equipment for new cars is
now rejecting the industry's respon-
siveness to increased automobile pro-
duction.
THE dependence of the parts in
dustry on automobile manufacturers,
even though somewhat modified by q
replacement business which affords it
some independence" the Index states,
closely involves its future with that
of the automobile industry. The
principal problem of producers of
parts and accessories is the potential
competition they face from their own
customers, which can primarily be
met only by independent research and
product development and by a large
volume of production and consequent
low costs"

NEW YORK. July 27.-Equities
strobe vigorously along new high
ground in active trading on the New
York Stock Exchange today.
In terms of the Associated Press
average of so stocks, the market closed
at new high for the year at 46.6, up
4 Of point. Trading was faster than
Friday and more active than any Sat-
urday since June %. Transactions
totaled 734,240 shares.
Brokers said they could point to no
general news development in back of
the market and believed most of the
buying came into the steels and mo-
tors on favorable reports from those
sectors.
Opinion in financial circles was that
the bulk of the demand consisted of
buying from investors. many of whom
have recently had various bonds called.
And by some observers 1t was reported
that this accumulation was reinforced
a little by short covering.
Buying, which put both Chrysler
and General Motors up to new highs
was interpreted in commission houses
in terms of the automobile output for
the week ended today.
New high levels reached by steel
shares were attributed to rise of so
cents a ton in Chicago scrap steel,
making an increase of 81 a ton on the
week, as we'll as to estimates that
