5. f. {. Investigation
Of Union Electric
Will Be Private
Missouri Utility Assures
Body Relevant Records
Will Be Available
BIZ the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
After receiving assurances from
the company that 1t would make
relevant records available, the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion announced yesterday it would
investigate privately its charges
that the 50O00,00O Union Electric
Co. of Missouri had made illegal
political contributions. Previously
tSe commission had scheduled a
public investigation.
The S. E. C. announcement
followed a conference attended by
James Fogarty, president of North
American Co., parent of Union
Electric, and William Mcclellan,
former president of Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. and now acting head
of Union Electric.
The announcement said the S.
E. c. had been assured the COM
pany would facilitate inspection of
certain records and examination
of its officers and employees"
Charges BY S. E. c.
In its order of April 5, calling
for public investigation, the S. E.
G. said it had reasonable grounds
to believe that from January l.,
1888. to date, Union Electric Co.
Of Missouri made contributions in
connection with the candidacy,
nomination, election and appoint
ment of persons (Whose names are
unknown to the commission) for
and to offices and positions in
the government of States, political
subdivisions of States, and agencies,
authorities and instrumentalities of
the foregoing: and made contri-
buttons to and in support of politi-
cal parties, committees and agencies
thereof"
It also was charged that Union Elec-
trio collected money from employees,
officers and others through the
medium of padded expense ac-
counts, which collections are
not properly contained in or re-
flected on the books"
In announcing its decision to in
vestigate the charges privately, the
commission said it would follow this
line, without prejudice to the COM
missions right to issue new order
for public investigation at any time,
and at the conclusion of the non-
public investigation would publish
report of its findings as to the guilt
or innocence of the parties involved
and take such further action based
thereon as the findings may war
rant"
Three Courses Open.
S. E. c. officials said that if the
findings should establish guilt, one
of three courses might be followed
The case could be turned over to the
Missouri State Utility Commission.
The S. E. c. might resume its public
investigation. or, if circumstances
warranted, the S. E. c. might seek
the aid of the Department of Justice
The public hearing was originally
scheduled to begin April "a. but was
postponed at the request of counsel
for the company.
Under the agreement reached YES
terday the S. E. C. was advised that
action brought by Union Electric in
District Court here to enjoin the
commission from continuing its in
vestigation would be discontinued.
Counsel for the company sought
the injunction on the grounds that
the commissions investigation was
"a fishing expedition" and not al
thorized under the Holding Com
pany Act.

Christian Science Talk
Given by Charles VIM

Charles v. VIM, C. s. B., of
Pasadena, Calf, spoke on Christian
Science: The Science of Divine
Power last night in the First
Church of Christ Scientist. A men,
Der Of the board of lectureship of
the Mother Church, Boston, he was
introduced by Mrs. Helen c. Nc
Neill, second reader of the local
church.
Mr.. VIM said: '1n all human
systems of healing the time element
seems to be an important factor.
Human law says that certain dis
eases must have certain duration
before recovery can take place;
that they must progress through
certain states and stages before re-
lief can come; that If they have
reached a certain point recovery is
impossible.
When the science of divine power
Is understood, all these false laws
are utterly destroyed. These false
beliefs are human vagaries and have
no divine sanction or support.
In Jesus ministry the time ele-
ment was entirely banished and an
nulled. The power of good is eternal
ly operative and immediate in its
activity. In the reading of Jesus
healing we read, Immediately his
leprosy was cleanSed,' Immediately
their eyes received sight, 'Immedi-
ately the man was made whole
Gods power is everywhere, and
the manifestation of that power
must be everywhere. 1t must bring
into active expression every form of
good. Good is never unexpressed,
unmanifested, inactive or hidden.
Every true and good idea comes from
God and is forever reflected. Chris
tan Science opens our vision to
cognize it and appropriate it. As
we understand this power divine we
gain the science Of true govern
ment."
