Last of 10 articles on the New Deals Rebellion

before he lisped Of Jack and the Bean
stalk.
For two decades. as his fathers con-
f1dant and secretary, he spent his most
impressionable years sitting on Sen
ate sofa. Sometimes he fell into slum-
Der and though his tiny feet barely
touched the floor, his high, broad fore
head seemed even then to soar to
stormy and starry skies. At the age
Of 20 he handled the mechanical de-
tails of his fathers presidential cam
paign. Twelve months later he walked
on to the Senate floor as the dynastic
heir.
His fathers associates patronized
him at first They saw him only as
the quiet. studious, obliging youngster
who had run paternal errands around
the Capitol. He soon disillusioned
them. In his first session he assailed
alleged police brutality in Passaic and
Pennsylvania strikes. He offered a
resolution condemning a third term
for Calvin Coolidge, another to pre-
vent speculative use of Federal Re-
serve funds. In the onslaught on the
HaWley-Smoot tariff-he was then
only 35 years old-he was the most
formidable member Of the coalition OF
Democrats and Progressives.
His handling of the complex chem
ical schedule commanded admiration
from both sides of the aisle. AS al
ways, he devoted months to intensive

Lubin. His speeches were not spec
tacular or demagogic; they never are.
He simply enunciates detailed, per-
tinent facts In a crisp, clipped style.
He also has a gift for sweeping aside
non n-essentials, resembling q labora-
tory instructor rather than q political
orator. Only when he grows angry
or indignant-he rarely does-and
tosses aside his prepared notes, does
he permit his suppressed, Tolstoyan
emotions to explode pyrotechnically.
Lacks Sense of Humor.
Such an incident occurred at the
1928 Kansas City convention. Like his
father before him, he perspired under
the klieg lights while he submitted Wis
consin's minority report on the G. o. p.
platform. The delegates hooted and
cat called until the din engulfed his
short, slight. pudgy figure. drowned
out his deliberate droning of the Pro-
gressives' creed and indictment.

scene He reminded them of a similar
greeting which their fathers had given
his father 20 years before to the day
He also recalled that 80 Of the IS La
Toilette planks scorned In 1908 had
become law under both Democratic
and Republican administrations. The
boys defiance-and their recognition
of his historical honesty-stunned the
delegates. They burst into cheers.

Bill of Mrs. Lola Stinson
Asks Voiding of National
Savings Arrangement.

A bill for the termination Of trust
was filed today in District Court by
Mrs. Lola M. Stinson. 24l9 Wyoming
avenue NV. against the National
Savings g. Trust Co.. Fifteenth street
and New York avenue NV, and
Charles S. Baker and Robert H. Mar
Gus. both Of the Munsey Building here.
Property estimated at more than $780,
900 is believed affected.
Alleging that she brings the bill as
grantor against the defendants as
trustees. Mrs Stinson asks the court to
issue decree directing that the trust
of November Of last year be term
mated as null and void, or that the
defendants be ordered by the court to
terminate the trust agreement and
transfer the property under 1t to her.
She requests that the court decree
that the defendants return to her all
commissions and expenses collected
under the trust; that they be required
to return to her $4,000, which they
urged and persuaded the plaintiff to
pay to Joseph Whitla Stinson, on or
about the first day OF November, 1897:
that Mr.. Baker be directed Ito return
all papers and evidential matter" to
her; that the defendants, Mr. Baker
and Mr.. Marcus. be required to pay
the plaintiff $500 and that Mrs Stin-
son recover costs of the suit from the
defendants.
Attached to the bill is the trust, in
which Mrs Stinson sets out the prop
erty affected. including bonds Of sew
eral kinds, stocks of many noted cor
porations. as we'll as the names Of sew
eral paintings.
Represented by Jennings c. Wise
Of New York City and A. K. Shipe,
Washington attorney, Mrs Stinson in
her bill recites that she was married
to William Livingston Crounse on
october l8, 1911. and that he died on
November 10, 1885, leaving her the
principal part Of his estate, valued at
some 100000.

1886 the brothers conferred with
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New

the trio actually discussed 1885

two countered that Mr.. Roosevelt had
inaugurated many of the reforms they

Governor reluctantly acquiesced and
halted his move toward a field re-

Now he has revived it, apparently
with the elder brothers benediction

whether the President will again corral

Young Bob" will have to meet soon.

behavior then may determine the
immediate line of march Of the Amer

lin D. Roosevelt's future.
AS his distinguished father attacked
the issues of. his day-trusts. rail-

the first-born of this bloody but un-
bowed family concentrates on the eco

relieving the hungry and jobless. 1t

A Restrained Rebel.
He did. So has his son with respect
to his own invisible audience. But the
incident dramatizes the difference be-
tween the first and second generation
of Progressives. The older man pill
loried his detractors viciously and vio-
lently by speaking out. but Bob"
senses the virtue of restraint-a trait
which may make him far more efec-
tive threat to the existing political
order.
He has exhibited that forbearance
in his relations with Franklin D.
Roosevelt. When the latter promised
many La Follettian reforms, the sons
swung to him. But the New Deal has
not dug deep enough for them More
over. thoughtful Progressives fear lest
inefficient and improvident admins

HOMICIDE CASE
ARGUMENTS END
Witnesses Testify Motor
Man Brought Car to Stop
at Intersection.
BULLETIN,

uteS, jury IN POllce court lnlS
afternoon acquitted James H. Peck.
street car motorman. who had been
on trial for two days on a charge
of negligent homicide. Mr.. Peck
was motorman of trolley into
which Motor Cycle Policeman
Ernest T. Vessels crashed to his
death last April %. at Piney
Branch road and Butternut street
NV. while answering an emer-
gency call on a motor cycle.
Attorneys for both sides having
completed their arguments, the negli-
gent homicide case against James H
Peck, 56, motorman for the Capital
Transit Co.. was to be presented to
the jury this afternoon by Judge
John P. Mcmahon in Police Court.
Peck is charged in connection with
the deaSl last month Of Policeman
Earnest T. Vessels.
During today's session the defense
presented numerous witnesses to sup
port the claim the policeman was rid
ing his motor cycle at high rate OF
speed when he crashed into the street
car at Piney Branch road and Butter
nut street NV. He was answering
an emergency call at the time.
The rate of speed was estimated by
various witnesses at from IS to 80
miles an hour.
Practically all the defense witnesses
testified that the street car was
brought to halt at stop sign before
entering Piney Branch road. Several
however, admitted that the siren on
Mr.. vessels motor cycle was in oper-
alton up to the time Of the actual COL
lision.
Great stress was laid by the defense
on the fact that the street car was OF
type placed into service here in 1912
and that it was so noisy it might have
prevented the motorman from hearing
the siren. The motorman has testified
that he heard the siren just before the
motor cycle crashed into the street
car
One of the defense witnesses, Adol-
phus M. Spence, who lives at the
intersection where the accident oc-
CURED, said he did not see the crash,
but was sufficiently familiar with the
sounds made by the street car to tell
from the dining room of his house,
that, it had actually stopped rather
than slowed down and then proceeded
into the intersection, as charged by
Asst. United States Attorney Albert
Goldstein.
One other defense witness, called
by r. Sidney johnson, Capital Transit
Co. attorney, was A. Blaine Miles, an
inspector for the Public Utilities Com
mission. He said the street car was
in good mechanical condition, but
that it was noisy. especially since 1t
was running on tracks set in concrete.
A number of the total of SO Witnesses
heard during the two-day proceeding
said the street car had come to a
complete stop, while an almost equal
number denied this.

bank is about 300 miles in length, is
less than 600 feet below sea level

Newfoundland coast toward the CEN
ter of the Atlantic ocean. Biologists
believe it to be the remnant of an
ancient submerged mountain range.
The bottom in this region is COW

the meeting Of two currents brings

johnny .Appleseed" Earned Name

Johnny .Appleseed'' Earned Name
Johnny Appleseed" is the name
applied to John Chapman, a native
of Massachusetts who came to Ohio
about 1901 and earned that name
for himself from his peculiar occu-
pation-his itinerant distribution of
young apple trees. 1t was his Gus
tom to clear loamy spots in the viz
gin forests, on the banks of
streams, plant there the apple seeds
he had obtained at cider presses in
western Pennsylvania, incIose the
ground and then leave the place
until the trees began to grow. When
settlers appeared in the vicinity
Johnny brought them his young
trees to trade them for an old coat
or knife. But his needs were
few and he often gave away his
trees or left his little orchards to
grow up undisturbed. ALI over the
countryside, through western Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, John
ny's little apple nurseries were To-
Gated.
