COURT ACTIONS r
MAY SNAG QUIZ
Contempt Citations Loom in
Labor Investigation by
Senate Committee.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.

The obstacle Of court action on two
fronts loomed today In the path Of
a Senate investigation into alleged
violations OF civil liberties In labor
relations.
On the Senate side was a deter
mination by Senator La Toilette, Wis
consin Progressive and chairman of
the Investigating Committee, to in
stitute contempt action against six
officials of the Railway Audit and In
spection Co. for their refusal to testify
before the probers yesterday. This
morning transcript of yesterdays
open hearing and Senator La Follette's
own recommendation that contempt
action be pressed were on their way to
Senator Thomas, Utah Democrat, the
only other member of the committee.
In the event Thomas, who was not
present yesterday, agrees with La
Toilette on the issue, contempt cita-
tions may be issued within few days.
Court Issues Order.
On the other side is an order is
sued yesterday by Judge James M.
Proctor of the District Court giving
officials of the company five days to
show why they should not be re-
strained from submitting their records
to the Senate committee.
This action was instituted by L.
Douglas Rice of Philadelphia, vice
president and general manager of
the Railway Audit Co., who was one
of the six subpoenaed to appear before
the Senate probers. The others we're
w. w. Groves, w. B. Groves, j. E.
Blair, Robert S. Judge and j. c. Boyer.
The action of the company officials
in this instance is similar to that
taken hst year, when the Western
Union Co. was permanently enjoined
from turning over certain records to
the Senate Lobby Investigating Com
mittee.

ID. G. H.-YOur column gives me
more pleasure and produces more
laughs than anything L read.
Please let me know what a per-
son affected with the usual heart
trouble do in case like mine. II
seems TO me that 1t Is strictly
triangular affair.
Ans: Both of these men care
for you and would love to have you
for their wife-both are good hard
working boys and would make you
a good living. Put them /, off for
another six months and time alone
will tell which of these two to
choose.
A. l.. Wis II necessary for my
sister to go to the hospital?
Ans: Indeed it is-Unless she
does what her DOCTOR tells her
to do then why spend her time
and money going to consult with
him. Yes, it is my opinion that
she would have the operation that
he has advised for her.
p. b. C.-WOuld IL be wise for
me to live in this town after get
ting my divorce?
Ans: 1t would not be as PLEA
SAINT for you as it was before you
obtained the divorce and this Is
good season for you to make
change. You would probably be
happier if you moved closer to the
coast. =.
G. M.-Will the boy l used to go
with go back to me and love me
like he used tot
Ans: Moths boy has gone out
of your life forever. Do not
waste your time worrying about
this young man for he wasn't in
terested in MARRYING you and
was only trying to see if you were
foolish enough to fall for his line.
Z. R.-Is someone else the
cause Of my oldest boy acting the
way that he is acting?
Ans: His actions are not in
fluenced by anyone else and he
does these things on his own ac-
cord. Nothing that you can say
will change him but it is my opin-
ion that he has met young lady
recently that will bring about the
CHANGE in HIM that you have
wanted so long.
ID. G.-Does this man mean what
he tells me?
Ans: He is not going to send
you MONEY to visit his people in
Galveston as he has gone back to
live with his wife.
ID. c. N.-ShOuld l continue pay
Ing on this home or do as my
daughter says and move to the
other part of town?

Ans: All of your friends live in
your neighborhood and since you
have this place nearly PAID FOR
keep it! Your daughter will be
married and away from you with
in the next fourteen months and
you will be very lonesome if you
did not live close to your friends.
w. VI. (which one OF my girls
am l going to marry? L can't

Ans: 1t seems to me that your
mind has already been made up
you won't marry EITHER ONE
OF THEM. The young lady in
San Antonio, Texas was very fond
of you but she didn't want to wait
the best years of her life on any,

addressed envelope back to you.
You will hear from them, and it
seems to me they will make an
adjustment Immediately.

will get over this restless feeling
that you are experiencing.

Louis Armstrong
Thrills Audience
At M c hi g a n

Those who were fortunate
enough to attend the personal APP
pearance engagement of Louis
Armstrong, the worlds greatest
trumpeter, and his world-famous
orchestra, at the Michigan, this
week, will certainly verify the
fact that the crown he is wearing
as the King of Swing" is right
fully his. His clever swing YER
sions of "Shoe Shine Boy, "Ain't
Misbehavin', &c a b ! Likes
My Music, and "Ole Man Nose
is Dead, his own composition,
were highly enjoyed by the au-
dience.
The all-colored 'hotcha' revue
which appeared with Louis Arm
strong, furnished novel surprises
throughout the program. Chuck
and Chuckles positively stole the
show with their clever antics, and
dancing. Sonny Woods,
the golden-voiced tenor, thrilled
the audience with his vocal rendi-
tons of Blue Heaven" and "Tor-
George Mcclellan, the
black-faced comedian, made the
audience howl and scream" with
his comical novelty numbers.
The Three Lane Sisters, with
their winning personality and skill
full tap numbers furnished addi-
tional entertainment.
Everyone sighed with reluctance
as the show came to a close. They
described il as "darned good
performance, and it certainly
was.

sweeping curves and lightning fast
balls proved very effective in the
pinches. Delaughter allowed only
three hits, while his teammates
collected ter, hits, from the offer
ings of Page, the Pittsburgh pit
cher.
The Titus Giants big third-inn-
ing attack was started by BURKE
the shortstop, who doubled to lett.

ter field fence, scoring Burke.

GER, thrilled the crowd with his
spectacular catches.
Lester Basley pitched the Titus
Giants to their second victory OF
the day, limiting Pittsburgh to
four hits, for four runs, enabling
the Titus Giants to win 5 to A.
The fans were well pleased with
both games, as the double victory
boosted the Titus Giants winning
sstreak to fourteen.
