Pecora Exhibits
Keen Ability In
Morgan Hearing
lly Hlgrld Ante .
WASHINGTON (p Ferdinand Pe
cora, tan-skinned boh of Olclly, with
a clear, eastern pronunciation of
English, sits at one end ot the coml
mlttee tabic leaning forward In his
chair.
The senate banking and currency
committee, oonduoblng an investiga
tion of private banking that began
with an examination of J. P, Morgan
Jc Co., 'has Pecora for Its special
counsel.
As tlie Morgan Inquiry neural what
was believed Its closing days specu
ration began as to where next the In.
vestlgatlon would turn, observers had
a vivid Impression of the Pecora
teohnlque gained from watching him
during the progress ox tne Morgan
phase of tho hearings.
: Monan Ever Watchful
. They saw J. P. Morgan, an elderly
kin In the American banking world,
pulling on his olgar. Sitting a few
feet from Pecora, Jie scarcely moved,
but his dark eyes flashed from speak
er to speaker. ,
George Whitney, a Morgan partner
tall, thin, dapper was almost con
stantly In the witness chair answer
liw Questions with a Park avenue
accent. -
' Back of Whitney sat another Mor-
nan Dortner and their pink-faced
white-haired counsel, John W. Davis,
white-haired counsel, John W. Davis
one time Democratic candidate for
the presidency. That was the setting
of the Montan hearing.
Bit by bit Pecora pulled from this
assemblage pieces or a, nuge jig-suw
puzzle of. finance which the commit
tee hopes to fit Into a new financial
picture for America.
H tar to Hearing Smilingly
Pecora's purposes have been hotly
debated. There has been opposition
to the direction of his questions. But
each morning of the hearing saw him
enter the room quite naturally, smu
lng, with a "Oood morning" for Mor
gan, who pulled his olgar from his
mouth to answer.
The same spirit followed through
the day's hammering questions, in
vestigations are familiar fare for Pe
cora. Maybe tney orougnt wuv u
trminad thrust to his square chin,
Maybe his crinkly, thick hair Is Indi
cation of a naturally energetic and
pugnacious nature or hla direot,
shining, dark eyes.
Won Many Convictions '
' He Is credited with a record of 80
per cent convlotlons in the days 01
battle behind him as a proseoutor In
New York. He has Invaded bucket
shops, milk grafts and ballot frauds
and has come out winner many
times.
He is still the suave New Yorker
who can laugh while a victory, hangs
In balance. He was born In Olclly,
but most of his St 'yoars were spent
In America. 1
Sometimes he la forced to 'a quick
and graceful rap of hla "big stick" of
authority, but it passes In a 'flash.
For Instance, in the Morgan hear
Imr there was some difficulty over
questions about correspondence on
ths Alleghany corporation. .
Exchanges Blwrp Sometimes
Davis, Morgan counsel, protested:
"You are only asking for what your
Investigators have been doing in our
office for three months."
"We don't discuss how long tho
examiners worked," retorted Pecora.
"Considerable ooutd bo said on what
privileges wore accorded tho exami
nation." "You are welcome to say anything
you please." .
"At the proper time," said Pecora,
ending the passage of words.
Sometimes the pieces Peooru ex
tracts seem to be mere ohlps. But
he kept on and on at his task of put
ting them together while the publle
waited, aVldly curious, to see what
the next one would bo.

THE WAVKH of the ocean have tho appearance of moving for

the wave is moving forward, while the water in the trough moves
backward. If the waves of the ocean continued to roll In one
direction, all the water would soon' be plied up on the continents.

Dr. P. L. Tribe, N. W. Frees and
Walter Router formed a committee
from the Lions club that asked the
city commission relief on water bills
during the summer months to allow
for keeping lawns green. ,
The city rhanagor and city com
mission have been considering lower
ing the water rates for the summer
and had hoped to be able to do It
this summer, they assured the' com
mittee.' However, Mr. McAllister told'
the Lions club committee that in as
much as data la being collected on
tho Beaver creek project and since
the project must be self liquidating !

day moved his headquarters Into the
Interior department building, and
found dozens of applicants for Jobs
and projects in his ante-room. To
those seeking funds for construction,
he said the administrator was not
yet ready. The board made clear
that the administration of public
works would be entirely distinct from
the industrial control administration
under Hugh S. Johnson.
To handle applications on state,
county and city projects, there will
be a state administrator and state
advisory board to be appointed by
President Roosevelt.
The state administrators and ad
visory boards would pass upon pro
jects In their areas and Bend their
recommendations to Washington.
Approval of federal projects would
be up to the Washington head-quarters.
Jimmy Hitchcock, Auburn's All
America backfield man, will enter

Ioko days end this summer.
to meet with the demands of the
public works program, they feel that
is unwise to experiment now by low
ering water rates although tho In
crease In the number of water users
through the lowered rote might off
sot any decrease In returns. - The
commissioners believe that It Is un-
wlBe to Institute any experiments
until the other matter 1b settled, they
said.
There Is plenty of water In Beaver
Cvcek to supply the city but the
pipeline Is too small to carry It and
at the present time the pump Is
working seven or eight hours a night
to furnish water.
V.. FrecB, spokesman' for the com
mittee, said that personally ho would
not want to put anything In the way
of gt'tlng the R. F. C. loan.
During the commission meeting an ,
plication was accepted for a license !
to sell 3.3 beer, from tho Idaho Candy
ompnny.
Tho city commission has also agreed
with tho Lions club to furnlBh water
for Crystal Plungo swimming pool
and the club will pay tho pumping
charges.

Mr. McAllister also said that Water
Supt. Knapp has spent the last two
toys going over the pipeline between
