Famou. Scottish Islands

Only an hour from Glasgow, great
industrial center, lies Loeb Lomond,
enc of Scotland's most famous lakes.
Legend and history mingle to lend
enchantment to its many islands. On
Inch Lonaig grow yews which Scots
say were planted by Robert Bruce
to provide shafts for his archers.
Another of the islands, Inch Call
leach, was the burial ground of the
MacGregors, one of the most pictur-
esque and warlike of all the clans.

mission for the senate bill which pre-
scribed the dissolution of the holding
companies of more than first degree
beginning in 1910.
The adoption of this motion killed
the death sentence" After substi
tuting the house bill for the senate
bill, the perfected measure was passed
by a vote of 800 to 81.
Immediately after this action, the
house voted unanimously for an In
vestigation of alleged lobbying by
both the supporters and the foes of
the utility measure. During the de-
bate on the bill it was frequently
charged that the capitol was swarm
ing with utility company lobbyists, and
then came two serious accusations
against the other side. Representa-
tive John II. Hoeppel of California,
Democrat, asserted an unnamed adj
ministration lobbyist had offered to
get CALIFORNIA; relief allotment in
creased if Hoeppel would vote for the
bill as the President wanted it. This
didn't greatly impress the house, but
later Representative Ralph o. Brew
ster of Maine, Republican, charged
that Thomas G. Corcoran, a young
brain truster who is co-author of the
administration bill, had threatened
cessation of construction of the $751;
100000 Passamaquoddy dam project
in the congressman's district If Brew
ster should vote against the death
sentence"
Mr.. Brewster said he did not be-
lieve the President was aware that
such tactics were being used by his
aids or would countenance them, and
Rankin of Mississippi and Moran of
Maine defended Mr. Roosevelt. But
the Presidents contact man, Charles
West, and Postmaster General Far
ley's lobbyist, Emil Hurja, had been
so active among the house members
that the resentment of the lawmakers
was aroused and they gladly directed
that the lobbying charges be investi-
gated.

Most famous Of their number was
Rob Roy, whose cave lies at the far
end of Loeb Lomond. Called Roy in
Scotland because of his red head,
Rob Roy was outlawed and had to
adopt the name Campbell. He be-
came freebooter and levied black
mail on the gentry. Now he is ideal

WHAT would be the final fate of
w the utility measure was doubtful.
Senator Wheeler of Montana, after a
call at the White House, said he was
confident satisfactory bill would
come out of the conference, and if one
did not, the measure would be al
lowed to die. In either case the war
on the holding companies is likely to
be made a major issue of the next
Presidential campaign, and admins
tration leaders are predicting that the
Democratic congressman who dared to
vote against the death sentence" will
be defeated at the polls. These

131 Democrats who stood by the Presi-
dent.

tamely, so other nations are advising
their nationals in Ethiopia to get out of

the American charge d'affaires at Adj

department to advise American citizens
to leave, or take whatever other steps
he deemed necessary to protect their
safety. Nearly all these Americans

sions.
Mr.. George transmitted to the en-
peror the rather curt reply of the
American government to his majesty's
appeal for aid in stopping Italy. Sec
rotary of State Hull, writing by au-
thority of the President, told the en-
peror the United States was ''loath to
believe" the two countries actually will
engage in warfare as they are both
signatories of the Kellogg pact. The
note also pointed out that the arbitra-
isfactory decision.
The chances that war might be
averted by the arbitrator seemed
slight. Those gentlemen met again at
Scheveningen and their session was
disrupted by the Italian representa-
tives when a spokesman for Ethiopia
set forth the fact that Ualual, scene
of the bloody clash last December, is
well within the Ethiopian border.
Apparently the British have given
up trying to check MusSolini and are
now devoting their efforts to plans for
getting British and British Indian sub
jects out of Adds Ababa on short
notice. Troop-carrying planes at Cairo
and cruisers, sloops and troop ships at
various near east ports were being
made ready for this service.
France evidently intends to let Italy
go ahead with the Ethiopian adventure,
and, like the United States, is not in
clined to participate in an economic
blockade of Italy such as was unoffi-
cially suggested by England.

passage of the Guffey coal bill regard

President Roosevelt followed the sug-
gestion of Attorney General Cummings
that the legislation should be put
through congress because ''the situa-
ton is so urgent" and that the Ques-
ton of constitutionality should be left
up to the courts.
The President, admitting that coal
mining is in itself an intrastate trans
action, nevertheless wrote that the
final test of the validity of the Guffey
bill would depend upon whether pro-
duction conditions directly affect, pro-
mote, or obstruct interstate commerce.
The Supreme court, in the Schechter
MIRA case, quoted a previous opinion
that mining, manufacturing, and other
forms of production were as local in
their character as the production OF
crops, and hence beyond the reach of
congress.

the senate banking and currency COM
mittee, which promptly gave the bill
its approval, without a record vote,
and after making only two minor
changes.
Governor Eccles and Secretary of
the Treasury Morganthau expected to
be called before the committee and
were prepared to tell why the bill
would not suit the administration, but
the committee didn't give them a
chance.
AS passed by the house, the banking
bill would give autocratic powers over
the banking system to a politically
dominated federal reserve board; and
the party in power would have the au-
thority to force the twelve reserve
banks to lend unlimited amounts to the
national treasury. Under the bill as
rewritten by Glass, reserve board mem
bers are to be appointed for 14-year
terms and are to be discharged only
for cause; chief officers of the reserve
banks are to be chosen by their direc-
tors, subject to reserve board approval,
for five-year periods, and the reserve
banks need not buy additional govern
ment bonds unless they choose to do SO.

the administration, and declared that,

adopted, the measure might bring In

as little as S11S,O00,000 annually. AS
the representative of the administra-

tried to pin him down to details. The
legislation outlined by the President
includes taxation of inheritances and

on corporations. 1t is believed the
committees bill will not go outside
these limits.
Senator Charles L. McNary of Ore

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan. IS
The Indiana University basketball
team annexed its second Big Ten
victory in three conference starts
by humping Illinois last night, AZ
to 29. The other Conference vic
tory also was gained over Illinois.
The Hoosiers grabbed an early
lead and held the Illini at bay
throughout the contest. Indiana
led at the half, 10 to 9. Willard
Kehrt and Lester Stout. veteran
forwards, supplied the scoring punch
for the Hoosiers, as well as turning
in strong defensive performances.
Each tailed five goals from the
field.
Coach Dean of Indiana made a
change in his usual starting lineup
for the game, sending in Wendall
Walker ct guard instead Of Co-Capt.
Bob Porter. Walker proved fast
cog in the Indiana passing system
and Dean allowed him to play the
entire tilt. The Crimson mentor
made only one substitution, replac-
ing Cunning with Scott when the
former was forced from the tussle
on personal fouls.
The invaders checked the Hoo
siers momentarily late in the third
quarter and began a rally that rap
idly narrowed the gap. Then the
Hoosiers. broke loose again and piled
up a decisive margin in the final
period. Coach Ruby used 10 men
in an attempt to break through the
Indiana defense. Summary:
