WOMAN LEAPS FROM
CAR AND IS KILLED
Susy Reed, 20, Negro,
Frightened by Fire, Jumps
To Her Death

Susy Reed, 29-year old Negro wo-
man, of Middleburg, was fatally in
jured last night about 1890 o'clock
on the Oxford highway about two
miles from the city, when she jumped
from the rear seat of an automobile
that was afire, and was struck by
another, which did not stop.
Coroner A. P. Paschall conducted
an inquest into the woman's death to-
day at the court house, and a jury
composed of Fred Hight, B. S. Pope,
w. D. Massee, w. r. Trodgen,
Charlie Shaw and C.. c.. Loughlin, Jr.,
held that the woman came to her
death by jumping from an automobile
and being struck by another vehicle
the driver of which is not known.
Coroner Paschall said the testimony
at the hearing tended to show that a
party of Negroes was returning from
"The Wagon Wheel Negro night
spot, on the Oxford highway in an
automobile driven by Henry Parham,
and in which his wife, her sister,
Bessie Clayton, Frank Savage and
the Reed woman were riding. The
car caught fire, the coroner said, and
the woman jumped.
While the automobile fire was be-
ing extinguished, passing motorists
picked up the woman, taking her to
Jubilee hospital She was dead when
she reached the hospital.
Parham nor any of the occupants of
the car reported the accident to the
authorities. They were found later
in the night at the Parham home and
Parham and Savage taken into Gus
tody as material witnesses.
They were freed at the conclusion
of the hearing.

1t was not always so. Mr.. Arnold,
big man physically and mentally,
has reputation for meaty statements.
He has written several books, numer-
GUS articles in law periodicals, pub
lished work on Trials, Judgments
and Appeals" used in a number Of
law schools
One of his books has aroused dis
cussion. Before a recent senatorial
subcommittee investigation on qualifi-
cations for his present office, Mr..
Arnold successfully allayed fears that
any statement in his book implied that
he is anti-capitalistic, anti-enforce.
ment of the Sherman antitrust law.
AS stated in his book he proves that
the present antitrust law Is an I'm.
perfect instrument" Being the only
instrument We have. as contrasted to
the Cartel system of monopoly, preva.
lent in many foreign countries, he
thinks that enforcement should be
vigorous. and fair" In his role Of
capitalistic diagnostician, historical
"dissector" Of monopolistic cause and
effect, Mr.. Arnold has been almost too
convincing for his present trust-bust-
ing job
What has been said has been said"
Mr. Arnold said with fnality about his
pre- Government writings. It is rea-
sonable to suppose that when there is
a full-dress debate of a pre-digested.
antitrust nature, Mr.. Arnold will step
to bat and knock out the requisite
number of home runs for the home
team.
Mr.. Arnold was born and reared in
Laramie, Wyo. He is the third gener-
alton to live there. His grandfather,
Presbyterian minister. arrived there
with the railroads. His father. the
first president of the Wyoming bar,
pursues successful legal practice. Mr..
Arnold wrangled horses on ranches
when he was lad.
Mr.. Arnold had seven years Of edu-
cation from 1907 to 1914 at Princeton,
and Harvard Law. He had two years
of Chicago legal practice before the
National Guard led him to the Mex
ican border for year. the World War
to France in the Yankee Division for
two more years.
In 1928 he was elected dean Of the
University Of West Virginia Law
School,

Probe Practices Deplored
Intimidation Charged to Some Senator
Investigation Committees.
Senators i.
IN
Committees.

practically impossible to unear.h. Pc
ports Of the hearings Of Senate COM
mittees are a valuable source OF In
formation both for Legislatures and
historians. Some past committees Of
Congress are historically important,
such as the Senate committee under
the late Senator Walsh OF Montana,
which investigated Teapot Dome; the
Pujo committee that investigated the
money trust" the committees that
investigated trusts. It is not neces-
sary to cite examples to show that
hearings by committees of Congress are
an institution which should be pre-
served. But II the institution is to be
preserved, 1t must deserve respect.
Intimidation Charged.
During the past few years there has
arisen practice in which the power
conferred on congressional committees
Is used by individual Senators or small
numbers Of Senators for purposes
which in some cases seem fair to de.
scribe as intimidation. Some hearings
seem timed and directed with a view
to suppressing opposition to legsla-
ton.
The power Of such a committee is
great. 1t can subpoena any citizen,
1t can order him to bring his personal
and ONCE records-letters, kilograms,
account books. When the committee
puts the citizen on the stand, it can,
and frequently does. deny him the
right to have counsel to speak in his
behalf. The committee is the sole
judge Of what evidence Is pertinent, Of
what questions may be asked and what
the witness must answer The COM
mittee denies to the citizen rights
which in every court Of justice are
given to defendants accused OF the
most odious crimes. It denies to q
citizen, one accused Of no crime what
ever, rights which are granted to a
man accused Of treason in a military
court-martial. The committee is at
one and the same time prosecuting
attorney, judge and jury. This is
directly contrary to the basic principle
of American and British Law. To find
an equivalent of what is done by some
Senate committees we should have to
turn to the Ogpu trials in Russia.
Contempt Citations Possible.
II the witness declines to obey q
subpoena, the committee can declare
he is in contempt and send him to
the criminal courts. A recent case
in which this was done Is that OF Dr.
Townsend Of the old-age pension plan.
DR.. Townsend. outraged by the COM
mittee's treatment of him. walked out
OF the room and for that is now under
sentence Of jail. If Rev. Mr.. Stanton.
in the incident here described, had
rebelled at the treatment Of him, the
almost violence to which he was SUBJ
jected-if Rev. Mr.. Stanton had re-
belled and walked out of the room, he
would presently flnd himself where Dr.
Townsend found himself, in the GRIM
inal courts, headed toward Jail.
doubt very much whether this
accords with the average American
citizens point Of view about fairness
and decency. An average American,
certainly any who prizes his country's
traditions. would disapprove this treat
ment, regardless Of the merit or lack
Of merit Of the cause with which the
victim Is identified.

town Citizens Committee. Among the
virtue or lack Of virtue Of this citizens
committee know nothing. Senator
La Toilette is now investigating It.
1t seems fair to say that Mr.. La Fol-
lette's attitude is strongly critical Of
the ciizens' committee, even hostile
to it.
The head of the citizens committee
was a clergyman. Rev. John H. STAN
ton Rev. Mr.. Stanton was summoned
to the witness stand by Senator La
Toilette. During the questioning the
following incident arose-1 quote a
newspaper account:
Stanton was involved in several
exchanges, both with the Senate COM
mittee and with reporters at the
hearings At one point he stopped
his testimony to demand that two
reporters nearby be stopped from
annoying me-
81 refuse to sit here and have
these men sneering and jeering at me
during the hearings Stanton de-
clared.
La Toilette smiled. but took no
other notice Of the incident.
News photographers, on the other
hand, gained revenge on the witness
by exploding flashlight bulbs In STAN
tons face the rest of the day though
their cameras contained no Aim"
Article Hostile to Stanton.
This is remarkable scene. The
tone Of the newspaper dispatch as a
whole. too long to reprint here, Is
sympathetic to the La Toilette Com
mittee, antagonistic to Mr.. Stanton.
The newspaper in which the dispatch
appeared. the Philadelphia Record, Is
what is called q guild shop" That is,
all its writer's who have been with 1t
six months are required to join the
Newspaper Guild. The Newspaper
Guild is an affiliate of c. I. o. Some
Washington reporters are members of
the Newspaper Guild. Sympathy for
c. I. o. might account for the ex-
traordinary actions of the reporters
here observation-disclosures I have no
knowledge whether the men who har-
assed the witness are members of the
guild.
The real point here is the Senate
committee. the light which the pub
lie can get about the attitude Of this
committee. The same attitude char
acteriZes at least one other Senate
committee now engaged in investiga-
ton.
