Sidney Thompson Named
Probation Officer, But
Declines Appointment

IA was a particular friend of his
and he did not wish to accept an
office for which ne felt Mr.. Rob-
erts was admirably qualified, and
was the first and only applicant.
Another strong reason was that
he was employed by the city as
electrician, and did not feel he
could do the duty of probation of
ficer as he felt there were times
when these duties would conflict
with those of electrician in charge
of the fire alarm system.
Assuring Governor Cone that
he would be at all times ready
and willing to offer his services
for state, community or the gov
ernor, Mr.. Thompson told The
Citizen. he forwarded a letter, de-
clining the appointment.

UNCLESAM IS in
MOVIE BUSINESS
OPERATIONS ARE SHOWN TO
BE FINANCED BY IN
DUSTRIALISTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The
United States bureau of mines
says il has the largest circulating
library of movie films in the
world. oldest thing about the
million dollar collection is that it
cost the government nothing to
produce them.
A coal company, for example,
paid for the elaborate portrayal
Of coal production which is en-
livened by shots of terrific dust
and gas explosions set off in the
bureaus experimental mine at
BrucetOn, Pa, to demonstrate
the extreme explosibility of coal
rust. Another scene shows how
miners use a canary to test for
the presence of carbon monoxide
in a mine.
The latest two-reeler, of a Vir-
ginia park, produced by the bu-
reau for the national park service
was paid for by an oil company
on the theory it would promote
travel to parks and consequent
consumption of gasoline.
In like manner the whole 81 of
the bureaus films (whose $500
copies are booked solid for months
ahead) were financed by one in.
dustry or another.
NJ. F. Leopold, who promotes,
produces and edits the films, says
his expeditions have covered all
the continents. Filming "Glimpses
of Texas" took him to the heart
Of the Chisos mountains on the
Mexican border.
The bureaus films, available
free to any public organization
he'd 10000 show;ngs last year to
audiences totaling nearly 7,000,-
900. Most of the films are de-
voted TO production and industrial
uses of minerals, from silver to
sulphur.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Jan. %
A new professional approach to
the training of public school
teachers win be inaugurated next

attitudes, skills and knowledge
important to effective service in
schools.
Senior students will be required
to .pend at least six consecutive
weeks OF actual teaching in pub
lie schools in central New York.
The university's new deal" in
education will become effective
for students preparing to teach
English, home economics, social
science and the physical and
natural sciences.

OF RAILROADS
HAS DWNDLED
IRREGULARITIES IN FINANc-
ING WHICH U. S. SENATOR
WHEELER REPORTED WAS
NOT so CLEAR
By PRESTON GROVER
(By Associated l'reasl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3d.
Senator Wheeler's railroad inves-
tigation, which was expected to be
so hot, has gone into the dold-
runs.
The irregularities in railroad fl
nancing which the Montana sena-
tor told about before the hearings
began don't show up so clearly
when dribbled out in testimony.
The first day of the hearings,
weeks ago, brought a fair to mid
ding burst with the disclosure that
an Indiana bottle-maker and an
Ohio ship operator bought control
of a three billion dollar rail en-
pire for a quarter million dollars
and sold control again to the Van
Sweringens for about $4,000.
Showmanship Lacking
People gasped at that because
they thought somehow they ought
to gasp. But it couldn't compare
with the comic opera sensation un-
covered by the lobby committee
strings of telegraphic protests
to congressman with fake sigma
lures out of a telephone direc-
tory and some off tombstones.
The difference is partly show
manship. Wheeler, seriously mind
ed and sometimes a little bitter,
lacks the lightly sarcastic touch of
that ace inquisitionist, Senator
Black of Alabama.
But the main difference is in
subject matter. Railroad financing
is complex. Even the headlines
that occasionally bob out of the
hearings must be written in Wall
Street English.
Picture yourself at a hearing
on the fourth floor of the senate
office building. Ornate glass chan
deliers diffrse light over two long
tables. Around one sit reporters
with banks of yellow paper in
front of them. The other, in the
center of the long mahogany-fin-
ished room, is lined by senators
and witnesses, Wheeler, sharp
faced, at the head.
His questions, written out on a
pad beforehand, are long and in
volved. He reads them accusingly,
as if each was an indictment. Isn't
it true that the Guaranty company
overlooked a $25, 100000 write-up
in the value of Van Sweringen col
lateral and later took a $15,000,-
900 loss on a $30,000,00O loan?
Yes. a pair of bank witnesses
concede. Do that out in Montana,
jibes Wheeler, and we would take
your clothes. Well, retort the wit
nesses, Montana bankers made
about as many bad loans as we did.
Everybody laughs, reporters scrib-
bic a few notes, and Wheeler be-
gins reading another long ques-
tion,. prepared, like the others, a
day or so in advance.
No Front Pages
What's the result? The stories
that Wheeler expected would hit
page one of the big New York
dailies are tucked instead back in
the financial section where the
readers who haunt those columns
can understand what it is all
about.
Second result is likely to be that
the reform legislation Wheeler ex-
pected to whoop across on high
way of sensational headlines must
be plugged through by heartbreak-
ing debate while one senator after
another is educated in the ways of
railroad financing.
