From the standpoint Of sensa-
tional disclosures. the testimony
Of the star utility magnate wit
ness before House and Senate
lobby committees, Howard c. Hop
son, Of the Associated Gas and
Electric Company, has proved
somewhat of a disappointment.
Today Hopson Is expected to
end his testimony before the
House committee. He will not be
before the Senate investigators
again until Monday.
The two committees searched so
long, and over so much territory,
for the plump and cherubic ap-
pearing power car that his ar
raignment before them was some
thing of an anti-climax.
Thus far Hopson has told the
two committees, over and over
again. that he thought the pend
ing utility holding company bill
was a flop. in every sense.

There must be something! And
whatever it is it's almighty ex-

The same gentleman testified
before the senate committee
Quoting from the Tribune of

doesn't excuse the gentleman's
payment of an exhorbitant price
for rights of way. That doesn't
clear anyone's shirts, or shoe
heels.
If we taxpayers are being tax
ed to support more than one firm
of "attorneys-in-fact'' let's find
out oVho our dependents are!
Maybe we can get them to accept
"a smaller commission! It's a
cinch that neither Mr.. Green nor

There has been a lot of highly

and that's all. Just language.
The senate investigating COM
