affidavits by commission officials
stated that they had no Hearst tele-
grams in their possession and had
completed their search through tele-
graph company files.
In denying the motion for q pre-
liminary injunction against the COM
mission, Justice Wheat said he acted
without prejudice to renewal upon
evidence Of continued activity along
the lines Of making copies of tele-
grams for the purpose Of improper
disclosure"
Justice Wheat apparently reached
his decision concerning the Senate
committee before its counsel, Cramp-
ton Harris, had gotten we'll under way
in his argument challenging the
courts Jurisdiction.
Interrupting Harris, who is a for
mer law partner Of Senator Black
chairman Of the committee, the Judge
said he did not want tc hear anything
more along that line, and asked the
Communications Commission attor-
neys to present their arguments.

American Liberty League, backed

his third attack on the Senate in

he declared to emphasize his point.
IF the Senate committee has been
proceeding in a way which some peo-
pie might regard as unlawful, 1t Is
better to let them continue to do it
and let that be corrected in some other
way than it is for me to proceed in
the way that seems to me to be un-
lawful. I measure one against
the other.
"I have not been Informed yet of
any case In which any court has as
sumed to dictate to a committee Of
the Senate what 1t should do and
what it should not do, and I do not
feel that have any right to inau-
gurate any such principle as that"
Ruling against Hanson in one Of
his major arguments, Justice Wheat
said he did not think the case In
volved the freedom of the press.
"You cannot say that the proprie-
tor of a newspaper is'not anenable to
ordinary judicial process, or that his
communications with his subordinates
are sacred" the judge asserted. Free

mated. meant the right to criticize the
Government. No such question is in

HEARST TO APPEAL

Will Go to Supreme Court if
Necessary, Publishers
Attorney Says.

A speedy appeal from the decision
of Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat Of
District Supreme Court dismissing
the suit by william Randolph Hearst
to restrain inquiries into his af-
fairs by the Senate Lobby Commit
tee, was predicted today by the pub
lisher's attorney, Elisha Hanson.
I'VE are not going to let the matter
rest here" he declared vehemently.
1--WE will go to the Supreme Court
If necessary, with the question of
whether any Senate committee stands
above the Constitution.
He pointed out that improper acts
Of members of the executive and judi
cial branches Of the Government may
be halted and punished by impeach-
ment and asserted that some remedy
for illegal atcions by legislative groups
also should exist.
Chief Justice Wheat's dismissal yes
terday Of the Hearst suit was concerned
only with its application to the Lobby
Committee. Although refusing to grant
the preliminary injunction asked
against the Federal Communications
Commission, co-defendant with the
committee, the Judge said his action
was based only on the fact that search
Of telegraph company files by the
commission had ceased.
He held he was without Jurisdiction
to enjoin the committee, adding he
thought 1t better that Hearst have no
remedy than that a court should try
to "coerce or control" a senatorial

Critical Somerset County
Senator Returns to COP.
Preservation"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PRINCESS ANNE, Md April g.
Maryland politicians, still wondering
what happened to bring Gov. Harry
w. Nice and State Senator Harry
Phoebus, his most articulate critic,
Into happy brotherhood, had another
shock yesterday when Phoebus in
dorsed o. w. Weller for national COM
mitteeman.
PhoebuS, biting in his criticism of
the Governor. has been even more
acid in his attacks on Weller. Phoebus
said in his announcement that he is
for Weller because Weller only had
one job and James A. Farley of the
Democrats has three.
Attacked Nice.
phoebus was elected to the Senate
by the Republican voters of Somerset
County. He has been "off the reser-
walton" since before the 1885 ses-
sion of the Legislature. He has been
so far "off the reservation" that he
did not know that Somerset County
man was to be appointed bank COM
missioner until after the appoint
ment was made. And he consistently
led verbal assaults on Nice, as head
of the party, and Weller, as representa-
tive of the Maryland Republicans in
national party movements.
Now:
1T doesn't seem fair" Phoebus said
last night. that Jim Farley should
have three jobs just because he is a
Democrat. He's Postmaster General.
He's chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. He's chairman Of
the New York State Democratic Gen.
trail Committee.
Because I think Mr.. Weller has as
much right to three jobs as Mr.. Far
ley has, and because I think it would
be improper to indorse Gov. Nice for
the presidency without indorSing Mr..
Weller. too. I therefore take pleasure
In lndorsing Mr.. Weller"
Weller's dual role as chairman of

the Public Service Commission and as
appointed national committeeman has
furnished Phoebus with most of his
political ammunition in the past,
Weller was appointed to the national
committee post after former United
States Senator Phillips Lee Colds
borough resigned. His tenancy will
have to be approved by members of
the party at coming elections before
he serves full term, however.
The Eastern Shore Senator's accord
with Gov. Nice first appeared during
the recent session of the Legislature.

Lobby Committee Chairman Black
hailed the decision, as his fellow in
quirers examined Fred G. Clark, ma
tional commander Of the Crusaders,
and other officers of that anti-New
Deal organization.

The profile disclosed that 80 persons
had contributed $62,687 to the Cru
saders and s1s3,305 to other organiza-
tions, principally the Liberty League.
Nine donors accounted for most Of
the gifts.

In the course of that, heralded only by
rumors, Phoebus gave a dinner for
the Governor and subjected him to

Special Dispatcn to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, May 13.-Chain stores
in April. having gotten over the effects
of the floods of the previous month.
swung into their Spring stride with
the best showing this year, according
to the monthly compilation released by
Childs, Jeffries g. Thorndike, Inc, and
Hammons g. Co., Inc.
The first 25 chains to report did an
aggregate business of 1921 ,032, 1853, an
increase of $40, TAI ,345, or 104 per cent,
over the same month a year ago.
This figure brought the chain store
'sales for the month up to about the
average increase recorded during all
Of last year, and was responsible also
for bringing up the average gain for
the four months to 9.5 per cent, as
contrasted with 7.53 per cent for the
first three months.
The flood area Of New England,
Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley
region, which was responsible for the
poor showing of the previous month,
came back with rush of retail buying
supplementing sharp increases in the
Eastern Seaboard area, where retail
business has been on the improvement

INDEX ADVANCES
Edison Institute Estimates
Output 14.5 Per Cent
Above 1885 Mark.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 13.-The Asso-
ciated Press index of electric power
production advanced for the week
ended May 9 to 1919 per cent of the
l929-30 average to the highest point
in the history of the industry.
The previous week the index stood
at 1869 per cent and a year ago it
was at 96.5 per cent The current rise
in the index resulted from a more
than seasonal advance In actual power
production.
The range Of recent years, with
l929-30 taken as 100, follows:
{ 1886 1885. 1884. 1888.
High 1919 1855 97.4 9l.9
Low -- 1920 GAL 9l.9 S0.2
The Edison Electric Institute re-
ported actual power production for the
week ended May at 1,947771 900
kilowatt hours, an increase of l per
cent from the previous week and 145
per cent from the corresponding week
of the year before.
For the week ended May the ad-
vance over the corresponding week Of
1885 was 1876 per cent
The institute pointed out that the
increase was due almost entirely to
the abrupt Jump from Spring into the
heat of Summer. With the temper
ature throughout the country ranging
10 degrees above both last week and
the same period year ago. the 8,000,-
900 electric refrigerators in use in the
country took enough extra current to
account for the bulk of the 1855, 900
kilowatt-hour gain.
The increase for the last week over
a year ago for principal geographical
centers follows:
New England, 1873 per cent: Middle
Atlantic. l21 per cent; Central Indus
trial. 14.5 per cent; West Central. 1853
per cent: Southern States, l60 per
cent; Rocky Mountain, 2l8 per cent,
and Pacific Coast, 1855 per cent.

TULSA, Okla, May 13.-Among
blg-wigs of the oil industry fore7
gathered here today for the Interna-
tional Petroleum Exposition it was
impossible not to discern a distinct
note of optimism.
Gone was the gloom which two
years ago hung over from the days
of flush production and oil at two
bits a barrel"
The calamity hoWler was replaced
by a man who talked hopefully Of
the present and future.
Many talked OF the technical ad-
vances in refining. Most agreed that
orderly marketing proration Of pro-
duction and methods of control by
the business itself had put stability
into an endeavor which a few years
ago was cut-throat.
As for the strides taken. There has
been more progress in the last year
and a half than in all the rest of my
80 years in the oil business" said one
old-timer.
Most refiners agreed readily that
refined output and gasoline stocks
were at a high point. but they were
| quick to cite an increase in con-
sumption.
Many ref1ner reported a good
| pickup in contract shipments during
the last week.
