.INvESTIC ALTON OF POWER LOBBY
 WILL CONTINUE
R egulation of Holding
 Companies Expected to Be Campaign Issue

WASHINGTON, August 19.-Con- tinuation of the power lobby in- vestigation into early stages of the 1896 campaign, was revealed Satur- day as a strong probability. with bitter controversy over abolition ot regulation of public utility holding companies expected by many to fur nish a major campaign issue be- cause of the importance attached to this development.
 Members of the Senate Lobby Committee, it was learned, were ex- pected to hold few meetings dur ing the coming four month Con- gressional recess, but will resume in earnest when Congress reconvenes early in January. Meanwhile it's in- vestigators will be busy assembling and correlating the mass of informa- ton already received in running down leads produced by testimony thus far taken, thus publication of this information through hearings will come at a time when precon- yention campaigns are at their height. In addition, Congress may at that time be wrestling again with the Holding Company abolition is- sue.

REPLY EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.--A re- ply from the President to opposi- ton criticism is expected soon by observers, who are watching to see whether he will hit at foes, pos .sibly by radio to the delegates at the Young Democrats at Milwaukee Friday night, or whether pro- nouncement will be made on a forthcoming trip to the West Coast.
 From quarters close to the Presi- dent it is said he will not comply with Hoover's demand for a state ment, before the adjournment of Congress, on what changes he pro- poses in the Constitution. Word was given Capital Hill that the White House sees no need to comply, inasmuch as present plans call for the support of no other constitutional amendments other than the long-pending one on child labor, and proposed one to forbid tax exemptions on Government securities.

Funeral Ship Has Bodies of Rogers, Post Aboard
 for California
INLAND ROUTE TAKEN BY ALASKAN AVIATOR
Plane Remains at Vancou- yer Over Night Under
 Guard of Police

VANCOUVER, B. O., Aug. l9.-- Alaska Pilot Joe Crosson was still here at o'clock this morning, after his flight from Fairbanks with the bodies of Will Rogers and Wiley Post. He had little to say about his trip or anything else. He said he understood progress of his flight was reported every 15 minutes by the Associated Press correspondent and PAA officials at Juneau, Alas ka, and that told the story of the flight.
 Crosson stopped unexpectedly thereby escaping crowds which were awaiting him at Seattle. M
 Through Police Lines
 Crosson looked strong and fresh as the plane was wheeled through the police lines into the hangar and locked up for the night.
 No one was permitted to inspect the plane.
 The windows of the piane were curtained.
 The airport here was almost un- peopled when the plane arrived, as it had not been definitely known that the plane would stop here, all though Juneau adyices stated Cros- sons intentions were to stop here for the night, but New York advices conflicted.
 Phone To New York
 Pilot Crosson and his assistants Knox and Gleason. strode to the Administration building and refused to be drawn into conversation by interviewers. They made long dis tance calls to New York, apparent ly reporting their whereabouts.
 A plane is due here from Cali fornia at i1:15 o'clock this morn ing. The bodies of Rogers and Post will be transferred from the Crosson plane for the flight south.' The funeral ship will then return to Alaska.
 Crosson bade farewell to Rogers and Post as the bodies were taken into the air at Fairbanks before ar assembled crowd.

ITALIAN ARMY READY

ROME, Italy, Aug. l9-Premier Benito Mussolini claims for Italy an army of one million men, the strongest in Europe.
 A front page article in Il Duce's newspaper Sunday placed that num- Der of soldiers under arms.
 This powerful instrument is destined to face colonial necessities and uncertainties in the European situation. Both materially and mor- ally it is perfectly ready said the article.
 The article also made plain that Italy's mind is fully made up.
 It warned England to keep her hands off the situation, declaring 1t to be folly to plunge Europe into war because of a colonial problem which concerned the security of Italy alone.
