Questionnaires were sent to all

spent fighting the utilities bill
Meanwhile, H. A. Blomquist, the

headquarters of Philip H. Gadsden,
S32 2,0O0-a-year vice president of the
United Gas & improvement Co,
and head Of the Committee Of Utility
Executives conducting the drive
against the Wheeler -Rayburn bill.
In Philadelphia Gadsden termed
the action IAN unwarranted raid" and
an outrage" He told the Senate in
vestigators yesterday the utility peo-
pie had spent "a lot of money, but
openly and above -boafd," as all rec
ords were available for the asking.
May Halt Quoddy Project.
New reports we're heard today that
the administration may suspend work
on the $4,000, 900 Passamaquoddy
project to harness the tides of Maine
This project was the focal point Of
recent testimony obtained by the
House Rules Committee. 1t will re-
sumo its investigation Monday with
representatives of utility companies as
witnesses.
Black said his committee would
not hold hearings for several days,
to give it opportunity to organize and
assemble information.
Referring to Gadsden's assertion
that the committee investigators did
not spare his personal files. Blom-
quist told newspapermen:
Il don't know what are his per-
Sonal files, and which are his Off
cial ones. This is lobby investiga-
ton"
Went Into Office Files Only.
He said he went into files only in
the Mayfiower Hotel office of the
Committee of Public Utility Executives
and not into the files of Gadsden',
$250-a-month apartment in the Carl
ton Hotel.
His secretary and others were with
me at the time, and examined every
thing of evidence that I took-botll
letters, records and others. If Mr.
Gadsden's personal files were mixed
in the official files. I could not help it. u
Blomquist said at no time during the
search were any records examined
save in the presence of Office employees
of the utility interests.
He added Gadsden returned to his
Office while one Of the committeeman
was still there and at that time ex-
pressed no indignation at the per-
formance.
Whenever I found anything def
initely personal I put it aside without
examining it," he explained.
Took No Records Of Stubs.
AS to the personal check book
mentioned by Gadsden, Blomquist de-
clared he went hurriedly through a
book of check stubs, but took no rec
ords from 1t. since it seemed definitely
not connected with the lobby investi-
CATION.
Il asked one Of the employees in the
office, a man named Waters, whether
he wanted us to get a subpoena to go
into the files and he told us it was
not necessary"

BLAMES RUM PIRATES

BOSTON. July 13 R.-A pirate
band which operated during prohibi-
ton is blamed for the scuttling of the
sum-runner John Dwight in the mouth
of Vineyard Sound in 1928 and the
Staying of her eight-man crew.
A Federal official, who declined the
use of his name, last night said the
gang, which operated in Rhode Island
during the dry era, hijacked on land
and turned pirate on the high seas.
The John Dwight mystery has never
been solved, but when the bodies OF
the crew, all mutilated, were washed
ashore after the boat was sunk, au-
thorities were convinced of foul play.

Vienna Spokesman Points Out ReSto-
ration May Come Tomorrow.
VIENNA. July Is LP).-The House
Of Hapsburg, through its spokesman
here. today sharply rebuked the
Fatherland Front-the pro-govern-
ment organization to which all gov
ernment employees and supporters must
belong-for presuming to instruct the
public in matters affecting the
dynasty.
mer press chief under the old Austro-
Hungarian Empire and more recently
the Hapsburgs' representative in
Vienna, administered the rebuke.
In an article appearing in the mon
archist organ Der Oester- -Reicher, Won
Wiesner remarked:
IF the secretary general Of the
Fatherland Front yesterday saw fit to
issue instructions to the public to the
effect that it is contrary to the in
terests of the fatherland and the
dynasty to carry on propaganda for
an immediate restoration. it Is time
to say that this theory is highly
debatable.
I'm fact, international discussion
aroused by the new law (the law lift
ing the ban on the Hapsburgs and re-
storing their property, has already
demonstrated the exact opposite.
Moreover, with the possibility of
restoration becoming q fact tomor-
row, one will certainly have to talk
about it today. And this right-no,
this necessity-cannot be arbitrarily
amputated-not even inside the
Fatherland Front"
Leader OF the Fatherland Front, it
was recalled, Is Prince Ernst Won
Starhemberg, who also heads the
Fascist Heimwehr. Heimwehr irrita-
ton over legitimist activity recently
was openly expressed in the private
army's newspapers.

Statement Issued After Foreign

BY the Associated Press.
The United States took a central role
in the Ethiopian quarrel today
with a statement by Secretary Hull
in support of the Briand-Kellogg
pact outlawing war. He mentioned
neither Italy nor Ethiopia by name
but said Washington expected ma
tions to live up to the treaty.
Rome quarters hastened unofficially to
assert Italy had not violated the
treaty but was the victim Of hostile
Ethiopian acts. Military prepara-
tions went forward at a rapid pace
London speculated as to whether Hull
h.nted at the possibility the United
States might join England in a de-
termined effort to avert the threat
ened war.
Reports in Istanbul said Emperor
Halle Selassie had ordered crown
jewels and precious religious relics,
reputedly including the tablet of the
Ten Commandments and Ark of the
Covenant, from Ethiopia's holy city
OF Axum, to safer interior point
Axum is near the Italian colony OF

Statement Seen Reply to Foreign Ma
tiOns' MiSinterpretation.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.


BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
A reminder to the world that the
United States Government still be-
lieves in the Kellogg pact and expects
all the signatory nations to live up
to their obligations was made last
night by Secretary Of State Hull in
order to dispel the effect of the ad-
ministration's reply to the appeal
July of Emperor Halle Selassie OF
Ethiopia.
Secretary Hull gathered from the
conversations he had on Thursday
with the British, French and Italian
Ambassadors that their respective
governments interpreted the Ameri-
can note to Selassie as a hand
washing proposition of .theTKellugg
pact. These Ambassadors intimated
this was generally the Interpretation
given in their countries.
This perturbed the secretary. who
thought he had expressed clearly
Americas aversion to a settlement
by force of arms.
Statement by Hull.
Realizing this was not the case
Hull issued the following statement
to the press last night:
The pact of Paris Is no less bind
ing now than when it was entered into
by the So nations that are parties to it
BY form and designation it consti-
tutes a treaty by and among those
nations.
1T Is a declaration by the govern
ments of the world that they con-
denim recourse to war for the solu-
ton of international controversies and
renounce it as an instrument of ma
tional policy in their relations with
one another.
THE United States and the other
nations are interested in the mainte-
nance of the pact and the sanctity
sumed thereby for the promotion and
maintenance of peace among the ma
tions Of the world"
Implication Clear.
The statement, naturally, does not
mention by name either Ethiopia or
Italy. but the implication in the pres
ent situation is quite clear.
State department officials believe the
statement will strengthen Great
Britain's hands in its effort to bring
about a pacific solution of the Italo-
Ethiopian conflict. Public opinion In
Great Britain is becoming tired Of
having their government shoulder all

Little Entente to Mobilize

Leaders Threaten.
By the Associated Press.

BUCHAREST, July 13-Foreign
Minister Nicholas Titulescu announced
today after a conference with Prince
Paul, regent of Yugoslavia, that if
the proposed restoration of the Haps-
burg dynasty in Austria were carried
out. it would mean the automatic
mobilization of the Little Entente
armies.
THE Little Entente policies with
respect to q Hapsburg restoration
have been settled on a positive basis,
and mobilization would follow as a
| re-established IN Vienna :. the foreign
minister said.
He added that a formal statement
probably would be issued in the
course Of the day.
1t was indicated that Prince Paul
and M. Titulescu, who had extended
conferences with King Carol, were
satisfied that the recent restoration
Of the Hapsburg properties by Austria
was an internal affair Of that coun-

effect on the interests of the Austro-
Hungarian succession states.
M. Titulescu said the foreign pol
icies OF the Little Entente remained
unchanged in every respect. indicat-
ing no conclusions had been reached
concerning Germany's desire to ex-
tend her influence in the Balkans.
There was report in political
quarters that Germany desired to
form an economic bloc with Rumania,
Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. 1t was the
belief Of many observers here that
such an economic grouping would be
impossible without the ultimate drop
ping Of Czechoslovakia from the Little
Entente. thus changing the political

Teams coached by Wilson, Incl

Sixty-two games played during the
past four seasons and taken all
three of the games played in that
period against their great rivals,
the Army.
The five is led by the redoubt-
able Buzz Berries, who plays cen
ter and who was placed on the
second All-American team in that
position last year. Pushing him
for scoring honors is Dusty Dornin,
his athletic pal since plebe days.
Two Veterans
Two other veterans are on the
team-Bob Mandelkorn. the foot
ball end, and Rodney Badger, the
two holding down the guard posi-
tionS.
Carl Fellows, another recruit
from the football squad, appears
to have the edge for the other for
ward position just now.
During the preliminary practice
period, Wilson had two arrange
ments of his forward line in view
one with Berries at center and
Dornin and Fellows at the for
wards, the other shifting Berries
to forward and using Art Decker,
who started at center last season,
in that position. At present, the
first arrangement appears the
stronger.
Fellows Pressed
Fellows, however, is being
pressed for the forward position
by Bob Ruge, the outstanding
scorer of the plebes last year, and
there is more than chance that
the recruit will gain the regular
berth before long.
The one weak point in the five
up to this time is the lack of a
long range goal-sniper. Neither
the first string guards nor any of
the substitutes have shown ability
along this line as yet.
Berries, with thirty points scored
in two games, has already started
in to pile up a big total for the
season, as in the two years already
played.
Columbia, playing at Annapolis
today, is expected to give the Navy
good test. while Georgetown and
