HOPSON'S INCOME
STATEMENT FILED
Utilities Magnate Complies
With Order of Lobby
Probers.

Howard c. Hopson turned over to
the House Rules Committee today q
detailed statement of his income over
the period he developed the Associated
Gas q Electric Co. into one OF the
countrys largest utility holding COM
panies.
The committee also was given state
ments containing the names OF vari-
Gus banks from which the Associated
borrowed 1000 600 TO conduct its ex-
tensive campaign against the Wheeler
Rayburn utilities bin and showing
how 1t was expended
Hopson's statements will not be
made public until he returns as a
witness before the committee and Is
questioned about various items, espe-
ctally the expenditures in connection
with the company's efforts TO defeat
the utilities bill.
Ordered by Committee.
All Of Hopson's statements were pre-
pared at the direction Of the COM
mittee several weeks ago when the
utilities magnate was excused to ap-
pear before the Senate Lobby Com
mittee. He was asked for this infor-
nation on the witness stand, but was
unable at that time to recall certain
details the committee wanted.
Chairman OConnor of the Rules
Committee, in the rush for congress
sional adjournment made no definite
plan for resuming the investigation.
He said he intends to give this ques-
ton serious consideration in the next
few days It is likely that various
phases of the inquiry win be assigned
to subcommittee which will work un-
til Congress reconvenes m January.
Stih Retained as Witness.
Hopson has left Washington for
what he described As q long needed
rest. but he has not been released
as q witness either before the House
or Senate Committees. The Senate
group is not expected to recall him
for some time. The House Commit
tee. however. probably will ask his
return in a few weeks for an ex-
animation about his income and the
statement relating to the $1,000, ,00O
loan and how it was expended
Before both the Senate and House
committees, Hopson insisted the va
rtous reports as to the amount of his
income were greatly exaggerated.
Some of these rumors placed his in
come at from $4,000 900 to $4,000, 900
a year and the Senate committee en-
deavored to show he and J. I. Mango,
president of the Associated. received
about s2e 600 600 over q period of I3
years.
Hopson repeatedly referred to these
earnings as mere paper profits.
pointing out that the vast amount Of
this so-called income was reinvested
in the securities of his company and
subsequently Debated to a small por-
ton of their original value in the stock
market crash.

HRESIDENT ROOSEVELT shot

The Presidents reply was too subtly

The New Dealers cid not consider 1t
wise for the President to answer the

have attracted too much attention for
them. They thought Dutfy's use OF

sufficient national attention to it. But
Duffy is not widely known outside his

Educators may have noticed that the
national youth movement and the
Bureau Of Education have each been
acting as If the other did not exist
lately. The reason is that Director
Williams Of the youth movement ap-

the Education Bureau with some ideas

only opportunities for adventure and
satisfying experiences.
Almost 200, 900 children pass before
the Juvenile courts each year, the
number having decreased somewhat
since 1890 as compared with the years
Immediately preceding. This decrease
may be due in part to diminished
public attention to what seem rela-
lively minor problems Of conduct and
to curtaiIed resources for treatment.
Crime Rate Highest at 1s.
About 10 per cent of the total num-
ber of persons whose f1ngerprints were
recorded in 1888 were between the
ages of 16 and 2l, and 1t was found
that 10 years is the age at which the
crime rate appears to be highest. Ap-
proximately $4,000 boys and girls are
in institutions for juvenile delinquency
and close to so 1000 under the age OF
81 are received in jails and work
houses. reformatories and peniten-
tiaries during the course Of q year.
The criminal law Is essentially alb
stract, general and infexible. Before
the adoption of Juvenile Court legis-
lation, children above the age Of IA
were held criminally responsible for
their acts, and children between 7
and IA might be held responsible II
they could be shown TO have such in
teIligence as TO unerstand the wrong
fulness of their acts.
Youth. even of very tender years, Is
not yet fully removed from criminal
processes. Yet in the last century and
especially in the last 30 years great
progress has been made The first
step was to provide special institu-
tions for juvenile delinquents; the
next to provide special courts; the
third to provide clinical and dag
nostic services for the study Of the
individual offender. and the fourth to
organize the community for the pre-
vention of delinquency through the
development of worthwhile interests
and activities.
Many Outside Scope.
III bplCE VI u1OCu Ichl ptOSIcon
through these measures Of prevention
and treatment, many juveniles have
remained outside their scope because
OF inadequate or defective laws, low
age limits, or ineffective, poorly sup
ported administration organization
Many children are still detained in
jails and police stations. where they
are subjected to associations with
adult criminals
Decisions are frequently made By
Juvenile Courts without an adequate
basis of knowledge Of the needs oI
the child or the conditions Of hi;
home. 1t has been found that th=
Juvenile Court is no panacea for the
crime problem and that a large pro-
portion Of children who pass through
courts and correctional institutions
fail TO establish normal social attt-

The new Labor Relations Board to-
day prepared to consider its first COM
plant of alleged violation of the Wag-
ner labor disputes act as q result ot
charges by the United Automobile
Workers that the Bendix Products
Corp of South Bend. Ind. refuses to
recognize the union Is representative
of all its employees.
At the same time. the union petit

Charlton Ogburn. counsel for the
auto workers, called the case one OF
the most important his union would
lay before the board.
Old Board Called Election.
The old Labor Board, after receiv-
ing q similar complaint and petition
last Winter. ordered an election at the
plant. The company blocked the bal
lotins by an appeal to the Circuit
Court Of Appeals.
Ogburn recalled that he was arguing
the case in Chicago the afternoon
the Supreme Court wiped out al
N. r. A. codes, with their collec-

dropped the case shortly thereafter
The new action could be the basis
for q Supreme Court test of the

The next move on the Bendix COM

Score
In Ball Tilt

The donkeys won a baseball
game from the Washington and
Anacostia Lion Clubs at Griffith
Stadium last night though for the
sake of records the Washington
ians were given credit for the win
by the mythical score of 2 to O..
The Anacostians registered some
kind of a moral victory, because
they risked their own lives and
limbs aboard the rumbuctiouS
brutes, while the Washington
Lionsmen generously stepped aside
to permit Alexandria Lionsmen,
who were supposed to help them
out, to do practically all of the
batting and attempted riding, and
suffer all of the contusionS. Ru-
mors that a Washington Lions
Club member took a turn at bat
were found groundless.
Busy Izzy" Bregman, who
aspires to Alexandria mayoralty
was the individual hero of the con-
test, when he bribed Mae West,
the plumpeSt of the donkeyS, to
circle the bases by promising to
come up and see her sometime" "
Irving S. Yolcheson, AnacoStia
captain, came out of a tussle
with one of the Mexican hoof-
sters with a great spot of red
showing through. At first it was
thought to be blood. but a close
scrutiny proved that it was only
his firemen flannels.
Frank Buck" O'Neill. riding
for the Washington outfit, tried
to strike bargain with one of
the donkeys to help him score a
run but could not make a go
