OPPOSITION CITED
TQPAY|NG BERRY
T. V. A. Aide Says Morgan
Wanted to Take It Up
With President.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. l3-
James Lawrence Fly. T. V. A. general
counsel told congressional investiga-
tors today deposed Chairman Arthur
E. Morgan took the position in 1896
that the Berry marble leases should
be taken up" with President Roose-
velt
Mr.. Fly asserted Dr. Morgan not
only opposed conciliation of claims
for damages on the leases owned by
Senator George L. Berry, Democrat,
Of Tennessee, and associates. but also
frowned on any effort by the Author
ity to have the holdings condemned.
He thought bringing such. suit
would be an admission of value" Mr..
Fly testified, land that the leases did
not involve value but decency and
propriety, and therefore should be
taken up with the President"
Mr.. Fly said he suggested concilia-
tion OF the Berry claims. adding it
was no ordinary matter" since the T.
V. A. was dealing with an important
political figure"
Idea of Payment Denied,
The suggestion that or any men,
Der of the board ever considered pav-
ing Berry large sum of money for
the claims is utterly fantastic" he
added.
throughout the week the committee
mas shown interest in why the ma
Jority of the T. V. A. Board agreed
to conciliate the claims after experts
reported they had no value" and
suspicious" had been voiced that
the leases purchases were. as one wit
ness testified. IAN attempt to gyp the
Government"
several witnesses, including Mr.. Fly,
have described the conciliation agree
ment as harmless document that
entangled the authority in no way.
Any Way to Beat Him.
Concerning the agreement, Mr.. Fly
said, 1T occurred to me if We could
beat Berry that way, we'll and good :;
If not. We could still fall back on the
condemnation proceedings"
At one point when Director David
E. Lilienthal walked into the court
room. Representative Charles Wolver-
ton, Republican, of New Jersey de-
clared he would object to testimony
from Mr.. Lilienthal on the Berry
case until he was provided with re-
port by T. v A. marble commission
on the lease purchases.
Representative Wolverton and Sem
ator Fred Brown, Democrat. of New
Hampshire clashed during testimony
by W. N. Garrett, T. V. A. land ap-
praiser, who earlier denied saying he
told fellow employe DR.. Morgan
suspected his associates of "collu-
sion" with Mr.. Berry.
Indications are the congressional
committee will study the Berry marble
leases all next week.

ROOSEVELT TEST
DUE IN WISCONSIN
La FoIIette's Opposition to
= Duffy May Try Presidents
Ability to Fight Party.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
An initial test of President Roose-
velt'S ability to cope with the new
National Progressive party appeared to
be in the making yesterday
Senator La Toilette. Progressive. of
Wisconsin, who has been allied with
the Chief Executive frequently in the
past. told reporters he would campaign
for his own party's candidate against
Senator Duffy, Democrat. of Wiscon-
sin, an administration stalwart up for
reelection this year.
The President praised Senator Duff
fy warmly last Spring in a letter sent
to testimonial dinner. and Senator
La Follettes announcement caused
speculation that Mr.. Roosevelt might
go into the State in the near future
to speak another good word for him.
An opportunity for such interven-
ton will be afforded by a trip the
President has scheduled tentatively
into the North Central States in Sep
tember, Engagements on the tenta-
tive schedule include a bridge dedi-
cation al Port Huron. Mich. and
speech at International Peace Park in
North Dakota. Mr.. Roosevelt's timer
ary could be arranged easily to include
a visit to Wisconsin.
Senator La Toilette has been a
staunch supporter of Roosevelt policies
in the past. but in the last year he
criticized the administrations slowness
to combat the business slump with
increased Federal spending. His an
nouncement of his intention to sup
port the Progressive party's senatorial
candidate left no doubt that he in
tended to become active soon in the
national third party movement which
his brother, Gov. Phil La Toilette,
started last spring.
The Senator said he would remain
neutral in the Progressive party pri-
mary in his State, in which Repre-
sentative Amlie is opposed by Herman
Ekern. former State attorney general,
for the senatorial nomination.

to annihilate them for it.

drinking several glasses Of

DEITY will see the fuzzy

suspect that Inexpensive coats,
labeled with these names, may
contain only a small amount of
camers hair. Some, in fact, have
only a few hairs blown into the
surface. Therefore, Betty pays a
higher price for her wool coat
with a camel'S hair name than
the same coat would sell for by
it's rightful name. Some shoddy
or poor wool coats masquerad-
ing as belonging to the camel
family have such terms as "fin-

small letters to catch such un-
wary buyers as Betty.

The wool is fine, curly and very

Haue Child
Visit Dentist

It is when these permanent
teeth are coming through that
you would do well to have your
child visit the dentist. Some
times the roots Of the baby teeth
don't dissolve as rapidly as they
should. They aren't ready to
come out by themselves, with the
result that the second teeth
push their way around and come
out crooked. When you see this
happening lose no time getting
to the dentist, for the longer
you wait the harder it will be
for those teeth to grow straight
again.
Teeth are a study all their
own, and we physicians are only
too glad to leave 1t to the
dentists.

Give Furs
For Yule
BY JOSEPHINE HUGHES

THIS following bit of
l. Christmas shopping ad-
vice is written expressly for
you members of the $50
called" stronger sex who
want to give your wife, your
daughters, and your mother
a present that's luxurious as
we'll as practical. Which
means furs!
Furs Please
Every Woman
When that great moment of
pulling the Christmas boxes
open arrives, any woman's eyes
will dance with joy if she spies
q wealth of cleaning furs-all
hers! If you can afford mink,
then by all means give your wife
a coat of this fur. She can wear
this model morning, noon and
night, and, when we say wear,
we mean it, as mink, when prop
erly cared for, will last many,
many seasons.
Stick to a classic, simple sill
houette when choosing a mink
coat, and for personal touch
be sure the lining sports her
initials.
Offhand this mink coat may
seem a terrific investment, but
in reality it is not, considering
how many coats your wife buys
within, say, four winters.
This year the short ermine
boleros with tiny muffS make
an ideal gift for your debutante
daughter, going perfectly with
the full-skirted gowns she
adores wearing.

reason why I have been
urging you parents to take
particularly good care of
your child's baby teeth.
AS the permanent teeth be-
gin to grow in the jaw, they
press against the roots of the
baby teeth, causing those roots
to dissolve and disappear, so
that by the time the permanent
teeth are ready to push through,
only the crown of the baby
tooth is left, and this is easily
removed. The first and Sec
ond teeth are in close proximity
in the jaw. Thus you can see
how easily the permanent teeth
can be infected if the baby
teeth are decayed.

about vaccination that while it is
not 100 per cent protection against
smallpox. it is nevertheless very
nearly complete, particularly when
a, successful vaccination has been
comparatively recent. In,the great

vaccination in infancy, an immune
reaction at six years, and perhaps
an accelerated reaction at 16 years,
gives protection for life. :
In my experience in the army, we
frequently had draft soldiers come
into camp and be carried to the
hospital with an illness before they
had a chance to be vaccinated. In
a day or two the eruption would
tell us that this illness was small
pox. In the meantime, the patient
had made contacts with great
many soldiers in the ward and else
where, but we never worried about
these cases at all and we had no
