HOUSE COMMITTEE
Intervenes to Keep Utility
Head from Facing Sen
ate QuestiOners

Washington, D. G. ILNS)-H. c..
Hopson, utility magnate, grand Pan
jandrum of the Associated Gas Il
Electric Co., has been playing hire
and-go-seek with senate process serv-
ers for days, and thumbing his nose
at the senate in his leisure moments;
The house lobby committee, which has
possession of Hopson now, is willing
to let the senate have him as soon as
the house is through; and the senate
committee feels that it can wait.
Yet Hopson's persistent defiance of
the senate summons is not the most
remarkable feature of this tussle.
Others have defed the senate-and re-
pented in Jail Of their temerity. But
Congressman John J. O'Connor, OF
New York, Tammany favorite and
chairman of the rules committee of
the house, has deliberately interviewed
to keep Hopson out of the senate's
custody, and nothing quite like that
has ever been seen in Washington be-
fore.
An official of one off the two
houses of congress deliberately set
ting itself to thWart the other house;
that is something new under the cap
itol dome. If the house had backed
O'Connor as he demanded it should do,
the end of such a row would have been
difficult to guess. As it is, the house
has refused to back O'Connor beyond
a certain point
So much smoke has been raised by
the antics of Hopson and his pals
that the reader may forget why the
senate wants that fat man. The rea-
son is that when the holding conf
pany bill was up in the senate a per.
feet flood of kilograms poured into
Washington, demanding that senators
should vote against the bill.
Senator Black, of Alabama, headet
an investigating committee which
very soon discovered that a large pro
portion of these kilograms were
fakes. Few of the men whose name:
were signed to them ever sent then
or even hard of them. The Wholt
business was a propagandist effort Y
head off the bill, and it developed yer!
early that the A. G. & E. Company wa
furnishing the cash and the idea 70
these kilograms. Black has brough
out evidence to show that the A. g
& e. monopoly spent more than $500,
600 Of its stockholders money in TIL
effort to scare senator's and congress
men out Of voting for the holdinl
company bill.
Naturally, Black wants to put Hop
son on the stand and ask him ques
tions. Hopson objects. He has dodg
ed, squirmed, hidden out, bluffed i
the effort to keep from being aske
questions. SO far, he has evaded tn

Hopson is probably the bigges

that insult has been overthrown. Th

ably the hugest holding coneer
known, is controlled by another hole

TODAY AND
by
FRANK Parker STocKBRIDGE

BIBLE anniversary.
When Miles Coverdale published
the first complete translation of the
Bible in English, just 400 years ago
October 4, 1535-he did a great
er service than he dreamed of.
All Doctor Coverdale was think
ing of was to make the Word of
God available to all who wanted to
read it. But the first result was to
arouse the desire to read, among
the common people of England.
The beginning of our school system
which denies education to nobody
can be traced to that. And be-
sides bringing the Bible to every
body, Doctor Coverdale gave the
English language itself its first fix
ed form. Before 1885 the upper
classes spoke most Norman French,
only the lower classes the simple
tongue of Anglo-Saxon origin.
The Coverdale Bible and its re-
vision Sc years later into the King
James Version, now the standard
translation wherever English is
spoken, gave the English people for
the first time a common speech
used by all classes. And that, 1
think, was the beginning of Eng
lands greatness.
REFUGE Bible passage.
The Bible is still far the "best
of all books. More than Is
million Bibles, complies or selected
parts, were sold last year. Tens of
millions all over the world go to
the Bible for consolation in time
of trouble.
l recalled a Bible passage the
other day which might well have a
wide application in the present dis
state of the world. 1t is in
Il Chronicles, 18th Chapter:
"And in those times there was no
oeace to him that went out, MOI to
lin that came in, but great vexa-
ions were upon the inhabitants of
countries. :. And they enetered
into a covenant to seek the Lord
God of their fathers with all their
heart and with all their soul. i
And he was found of them: and
the Lord gave them rest round
That ought to be inscribed in
.etters of gold over the portal of

PRAYER its power.
When an outstanding figure in
the field of medical research comes
out fatty and declares that prayer
has power to heal bodily ills, it is
something to pay attention to. DR..
Carrel, World-famous sur
geon of the Rockefeller Institute of
Medical Research and winner of
the Nobel Prize in medicine, says in
his new book, Man, the Unknown
writing as a medical man.
"Our present conception of the
influence of prayer upon patholo-
gical LESSONS is based upon the OBJ
servation of patients who have been
cured almost instantly of various
affections. -. The only condition
indispensable to the occurrence of
the phenomenon is prayer. But
there is no need for the patient
himself to pray, or even to have

WILL WAR TOUCH USa

We don't believe that there i
much chance of the United State
being seriously affecsd by the wa
between Italy and Ethiopia. Their
is no such emotional reaction, 81
far as we can see ,as there was il
the beginnings of the Great War
when everybody in America wa!
taking sides vehement1y.
If the expected wal is confined
to a conflict between the Italians
and the Ethiopians, it is Difficult:
to see how any American interests
would be seriously %imperiled. ALI
the trade that we have with Ethio-
pia you could put in your hat. Our
exports to Italy have been steadily
declining for years and there il
no occasion to worry about them
The real possible danger to the
United States would be another
general European war. That is not
outside the realm of possibility. 1t
may not come as a direct result of
the present exchange of belligerent
gestures between Italy and Great
Britain, but all of the folk who
make a study of international re-
lations seem to think that, sooner
or later, some incident will set of
the fireworks and involve all Of th'
Great Powers in another catastro.
phic conflict.
The thing that brought us int
the last wal was the assumption b,
the belligerent powers of the RICH
to dictate to us where our ship
might and might not navigate tn
free seas, an assumption who
eliminated in Germany's declare
ton of unrestricted submarine war
fare. 1t is conceivable that a sit
uation might develop in which tn
free passage of American commerce
through the Mediterranean and til
Suez Canal would be threatened c
prohibited by some other natior
1t would not take very many ii
cidents, such as the deliberate sink
ing of American ships, TO stir tt

Educators To Protest
 Hearst "Journaism''
Academic Freedom Threatened Batting Cam paign". Apparently Under Fire-LOcal
 Delegates to Attend Session

Apparently the outgrowth of re- sentiment on the part of teachers throughout he counry over sugges- ions by various organizations that radical tendencies in the schools be curbed, a counter campaign against "fasclst Journalistic practices typi- cal of William Randolph Hearst. will be launched at tho mid-winter educational conventions which will open Thursday in Atlantic City. N. J. Several local educators. among them Dr Thomas J. Condon, su- pcrintcndent of schools, and Miss Daisy Lord, president of the class room department of the National Education association, will attend the convention.
 A call for u nation wide attack by clerrymen, newspaper work CTS, labor leaders, teachers and other holders ow opinion upon the Hearst newspaper anti-Red agita- ton Is made by n group of na- tionally known American educators in the current number of the So- cial Frontier, journal of educa- tional criticism issued today. and timed to appear Just before the opening Of the convention.
 . "FrcedOnI of tho Press"
 It is pointed out In the maga- zine that the type of Journalism represented by MT Hearst. espec- ially as 1t relates to his attempts to control teaching in he Ameri- can schools and colleges, seriously threatens not only academic free dom in the United States, but also freedom of the press itself.
 Easing their attack upon the re- cent "red batting campaign of the Hearst newspapers" the educators responsible for the Social Frontier declare that teachers must strug- gle "to keep the schools open in- teIlectually." as well as physically.
 Success in this effort. 1t Is point cd out In the leading editorial. will be tantamount to turning back the rising tide of reaction," threaten ing to plunge the country In an era of protracted and bitter strife."

FAMOUS ANIMALS
 EXHIBITED HERE
Deer and Puma, Seen in POIi's Cinema, on Dis-
 play Outside Theater

WaterburIans today were given q remarkable illustration of one of the worlds most unique relation ships - the friendship of a deer and a puma. In connection with the picture "Sequoia'. now play ing ut Polls theater. the animals, who incidentally, are principals In the picture, will be exhibited un- til 7:30 o'clock tonight on East Main street near the theater un- der the direction of their trainer. Captain Volney Phifer.
 Captain Phifcr, who also trained the animals in the picture Mali bu," and in "Trader Horn," as well as several of the TarZan pro- ductions, declares his accomplish ment in training two animals who are by nature deadliest of enemies to be one of the most difficult he has ever attempted. None of the other members of the department thought that the picture would ever be completed.
 Actual shooting" time on the production was only 80 days, al- though the picture was two years in the making. Captain Phifer says that many delays were caused by the necessity of waiting for the animals 10 grow from cubhood to full maturity, a development called for In the script.
 "Sequoia" Is the first animal picture dealing exclusively with animals and Captain Phifer re- gards 1t as the finest production with which he has ever been con nected.
 The friendship of Cato, the puma, for Malibu. his deer com panion. has of course never been subjected to severe tests. Cato, Captain Phifer says, Is always well fed. Such companionships are by no means as rare as is commonly believed. according to the trainer It Is not unusual to see herbivor- ous and carnioerous animals ly- ing peaceably together on the Af- rical vcldt. following feeding per- iods. he says.
 Animals choose their friends In much the same way as human be- ings, the captain believes. In his opinion the characteristics Of the deer and the puma have blended perfectly In this particular in-- stance, to form the strangest friendship on record.
