lina's objections to the decisions, as
set forth in its petition for the re-
hearing follow:
Il. The commission erred In find
ing that the interests of interstate or
foreign commerce would be affected
by the Tuckertown project.
(a) The undisputed testimony show
ed that the Yadkin-Peedee river is
not navigable in the vicinity of the
proposed Tuckertown plant and any
finding by the commission that the
Tuckertown project is to be located
on navigable waters of the United
States is ARBITRARY, in direct contra.
diction of the testimony and unsup-
ported by any evidence whatsoever.
CD The undisputed testimony show
ed that the Tuckertown project could
not. under any system of operation,
have any measurable effect upon the
navigableEs capacity of the navigable
section of the Yadkin. Feedee river
and the finding of the commission
that the interests of interstate or for
eign commerce would be affected by
the Tuckertown project is, therefore,
arbitrary, in direct contradiction OF
the testimony and unsupported by any
evidence whatsoever.
Co The unGispu-ed testimony show

been urged to sign a public statement
advocating a ten point program to
stop the business recession.
The steps suggested were revision
of business taxes, approach toward a
balanced budget; ''just relations be-
tween capital and labor" a reliance
on profitable investment Of private
savings, recognition of the profit mo-
tive, and superiority of the competi-
tive system, assurance of the safety
of collateral, reduction in the general
tax burden, maintenance of states
rights, economic and non-political dis
tribution of relief, and preservation
of the American system of private en-
jerprise.
No one would claim authorship of
the document. Some legislators re-
ported it had been prepared by a
small group, including Senator Bailey,
Democrat, North Carolina.
There was a general feeling in the
Senate Bailey said, that there ought
to be an understanding cetween each
other on what should be done about
the business recession. Nobody, how
ever, has been authorized or detailed
to frame a platform"

DR.. SPRUNT PASSES
AT LYNCHBURG, VA.
Former Presbyterian Pastor
Here; Funeral Friday,
In Charleston

DR.. Alexander Sprunt, former pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church
in Henderson, and later for many
years pastor of the Scotch Presbyte-
rian church in Charleston, S. c., died
at 1850 o'clock yesterday afternoon in
Memorial hospital, Hynchburg, Va,
according to a telegram received by
Mrs. 1. B. Gary late Wednesday.
DR.. Sprunt was on a visit to his
son, Rev. James Sprunt, in Lynch
burg, when he fell and broke his hip.
Complications developed, and he ling
cred for four weeks before his death.
Funeral services will be held Friday
in Charleston, where DR.. Sprunt was
pastor emeritus of the Scotch Pres
byterian church to the time of his
death
Dr. Sprunt is remembered here by
many friends of former years, as we'll
a. many now residing in Henderson.
He was pastor here from 1884 to 1891.
He went from here to a church in
Rock Hill, S. c., where he remained
until 1899, when he was called to the
Charleston church. He served there
until 1896, when he wished to retire
from active service. The Charleston
church declined to accept his resigna-
ton and elected him pastor emeritus.
His successor was named only six
months ago.
In 1921 he was elected moderator of
the General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church, an honor that
comes to but few.
DR.. Sprunt was in Henderson early
in November, when his son, Alexand-
er Sprunt, Jr. ALSO of Charleston, and
southern director of bird sanctuaries
for the American Audubon Society,
lectured to the Henderson Bird Club,
and a large audience of Henderson cit
liens and outside visitors. He went
from here to Lynchburg to visit his
son, pastor of a Presbyterian church
there.
Dr. Sprunt's wife died about a year
and a half ago. He is survived by the
following sons and daughters: DR..
Tom Sprunt, Baltimore, Md; Alexan-
der Sprunt, Jr., Charleston, S. c.;
Rev. James Sprunt, Lynchburg, Va;
lars. James S. White, Rock Hill, S. c.;
and Mrs. Lacy L. Little, a missionary
in China.

Constitution of the United States to

DINA, therefore, has exclusive juris-
diction over the Yadkin river The ac-
ton of the Federal Power Commits
sion in assuming jurisdiction over
the Tuckertown project constitutes an
invasion of the sovereign and prop
rietary rights of the State of North

the Tenth Amendment thereto.
80. The requirements of Section %

plicable to head-water developments

only to locations where the stream is
navigable in fact and in law. The COM

section in the vicinity of the Tucker

ed that the present dams and hydro
electric plants upon the river would
eliminate any possible theoretical ef-
feet that the Tuckertown project
could have upon the stage of the water
at any point in the course of the
river The finding of the commission
was. therefore, arbitrary in direct
contradiction of the testimony, and
unsupported by any evidence what
SOever.
I'D The undisputed testimony show
ed that in recent years the use of the
Yadkin-Peedee river for commercial
purposes was negligible. There was no
testimony that such commerce, neg

nature. The finding Of the commits

jectural and unsubstantiated by any

of another who picked the guberna-

AS matter of fact there are many
indications that Governor Hoey had
every intention to appoint somebody
else until almost the eleventh hour.
There is more than a mere modicum
of evidence to support the idea that
he even went so far as to offer the
post to Charlotte's City Manager
Marshall, but Mr.. Marshall, having
recently received a boost in pay to
$4,000 per year notch, quite natural
ly declined to sacrifice the difference.
But whether or not the governor
was driven to his choice, it is eminent
ly satisfying to the Grahamites. Along
with practically everyone else they
regard Senator Stacy as peculiarly
qualified for the post. They were for
him first because they believe him
the best man availa5la and only sec
ondarily because he belonged to the

LIGHT HEAvIES
 PAIRED AGAIN. FOR BUCK BOUT
Well-Balanced Program Set for Tonight -Lan-
 thier vs zilinski

Only fair break" from the Weather Man" is needed for a near capacity crowd of wrestling fans to find their way to Buckingham hall tonight, attracted, in particular by the return bout featuring the two well-known light Ieavyweights, Maurice Leo Cavell of New York and Walter Percy of England. Six weeks ago, they wrestled to draw in one of the best mat bouts ever staged in this city. Public demand, plus the fact that the men broke even after 30 minutes of slam bang wrestling is the reason for the re- match which will go on tonight on a two. out of three fall basis or to a 90 minute time limit.
 Just Right
 In build, temperament and ability both are admirably suited for a Natural" and if their test tonight is only half as good as the original bout, it will still be very much worth while. That one bout alone is incentive enough to bring out a crowd that will make the entire show financial success, compara- ble to that of two weeks ago.
 Other local favorites, including Max The Panther, the Red Dragon and George Lanthier will be seen in action. The Panther and Dragon met on the last card, and though los- ing, the later, made quite a hit with all who saw him in action. To- night, he is paired with James J. McMullen a huge Irishman, in a 30 minute bout that ought to de- velop some real fireworks. Panther takes on Joe Rosinskas, Lithuanian woodchopper from Maine, in the half-hour semi-final go, while Stan ley Sylkowski, former Boston uni- versity athlete and Jam Sampson of Manchester will tangle in another 30 minute bout. Lantheir, an able Frenchman whose slow movie camera style is coupled with real wrestling ability takes on the Bos- ton William, Stanley Zilinski, in a time limit go that should compare with the main go for good mat en- tertainment.
 First bout is scheduled for 8:3O o'clock, with Johnny Brickel at the watch, which he claims works bet ter than his gun, and Jack Freney who will have a tonsil workout with some of those names.

RAMBLERS FACE
 EAGLES SUNDAY

New Haven, Jan. e..-The Phila- delphia Ramb!ers, leaders of the en- tire International-American Hockey league, will be the opponents of the Eagles here on Sunday night at the Arena. This will complete the cycle of meeting the three outstanding teams of the league, New Haven having engaged the Syracuse Stars at home on Wednesday night, and they are scheduled to meet the Springfield Indians in the Home City Saturday.
 Syracuse is the leader in the west ern division of the league, but Philadelphia is enjoying wide ad- vantage over the other six clubs in the circuit and unless there is a complete collapse the eastern title will be won by the Philadelphia out 1t.
 But 8 divisional victory doesn't mean the championship and it is 8 place in the playoffs that the Eagles are fighting for. They may not be able to touch the Ramblers, but they can push Providence deeply into fourth place and 1t is entirely within bounds that they can over take the second place Springfield club. Right now Springfield seems to be in a slump, whereas the Eagles are in top form, and they are look ing forward to a Saturday night victory to pep them up for 8 re- peater here Sunday night against the leaders.

Billiard Stars of Water bury Start Shooting at
 Wooster Monday

The city amateur three cushion billiard tournament will open at the Wooster Parlors Monday with ten players. This tournament is open to all players in the city and they can enter by getting their name in to Bob Stone.

 Melad McLouf, Thomts Mccarthy, George Gearing, William Garrity, Casper Speako, Louis Police, Archie Pellitier, Ty Cobb, Warren Teskey, William Swartz and Paul Lindquest.
 It will be very hard to select the favorite, for at present there is at least eight players who will have fine chance to carry away the title.
 Looking over the, list one of the leading billiard men in the city selected Melouf, Mccarthy and George Gearing as being the out standing players that will face the wire. There will be games played at 7:30 p. m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights with the opening game Mon- day night. The schedule for the opening week will be announced in Mondays paper.

Reymond Hillies And Gents In Hoop Go Tonight

The Reymond Hillies will endeav- or to clinch first round honors in the Washington Park Community house league tonight with win over the Gents of the Hill in the feature game of 8 triple header. In the other games scheduled the Welles A. c. will take on the Bald win Props and the Co-Eds will play an out of town girls team.
 Although the league does not officially end until next week the Hillies can take first round honors by defeating the Gents tonight or the Baldwin Preps on Monday as their nearest rivals have dropped two games.
 The Doughboys will start their strongest lineup as they are enxious to keep their winning streak intact and go through both rounds un- defeated.
 Hold Workouts
 The Gents have held a few secret workouts the past week and with Earl Lewis and Marty Moriarty in their lineup are planning to be the first team to setback the Dough- boys. The Hill Juniors threw scare into the ranks of the Hillies last week when trailing by ten points with three minutes remaining to play they put on a spectacular ral- ly but fell short of tying the score by a basket. The "Doughboys" will be out to get an early lead tonight and keep it.
 WelIes Hot
 After getting off to poor start the Welles have found their stride and hope to continue their winning ways with a win over Ed. Kenneys Baldwin Props in the opening game listed for 7:30 o'clock.
 The Co-Eds will endeavor to get back into the win column tonight when they take the floor at 8:30 with an opponent which was not known at press time.
 Managers Attention!
 There will be an important meet ing of all managers tonight while the girls game is in progress. Sev- eral important matters will be dis cussed; the main one being to schedule the two postponed games which will have to be played before the second round opens.
