NEW YORK. Apr. (AP) The
realm of spot news was opened to

demonstration of transmitting
moving pictures over regular tele
phone wires.
Ten feet of film, taken this
morning In Chicago was put on
the wires in that city, and received
at the New York office of the

that the same pictures could have
been received simultaneously with
New York by th esix other tele-

San Francisco.
The pictures were transmitted
at the rate of seven minutes for
each foot and half of film, the 10
foot strip with Bome intermission
between nieces, being sent in
something less than two hours.
News Reels Speeded Up
Commercial application of the
telephoto movies was expected to

to depend on airplanes and trains
for distribution of their pictures
The cost of th enew services
will be approximately $50 a foot

physicians said tonight in a bul
letin Issued through the offices of
the Michigan Central railroad
The bulletin which was signed by
Drs. Samuel W. Lambert and U
Lyman Hooker said the condition
of the aged railroad official was
"not immediately alarming."
Earlier in the day physicians
attending the 93 year old railroad
executive who has been suffering
from a cold since his return from
the south, said the patiennt was
resting comfortably after a good
night.
Mr. Depew suffered a slight
chill while returning from St.
Petersburg, Fla., last week and a
rise in his temperature last Mon
day caueed his personal physician,
Dr. Hooker, to call in medical
consultants. His physicians said
he was suffering from a bronchial
cold and that bis condition gave
no cause for alarm.
Mr. Depew, still active as bead
of the New York Central's boaTd
of directors, had planned to attend
the republican national conven
tion in Kansas City next June. He
missed the Cleveland convention
in 1924, the first one he had fail

Bishop E. B. Johnson of Cape
town, South Africa, who address
ed them Wednesday noon. The
bishop stopped his discourse
promptly at 1 o'clock, but he wau
kept on his feet for 20 minutes
more, answering the questions

him from all directions.
t "There ia nn slaverv 1 Africa

there is no liquor in Oregon."
Modestly admitting that when
he first entered Africa he walked
800 miles through country never
before visited by a missionary the
bishop added that be was at one
time surrounded by savages arm
ed to the teeth, and that they
counselled for a long time about
what to do with him; but, they dis
persed quietly after a time, and
the bishop thinks it was due to
two things; he was unarmed, and
be kept smiling.
Conditions are much different
now, partly due to missionaries'
work and partly to the exploits
tion of the country's mineral and
other resources; but the human
problem is as great as then, the
bishop went on to say.
Territory controlled by Great
Britain is for the most part well
ruled, but throughout Africa a
"fear complex" seems to dominate
the Europeans, to the extent, that
the "color line" is drawn in many
ways. As an extreme example, he

man w h o was highly edu
cated and a teacher, beaten
over the head with an urn
brella by an Englishwoman be
cause he did not stop his bicycle
quickly enough. Negroes are re
quired in some localities to walk
in the street, not on the sidewalk
and to stop and salute all white
people. .
The negroes are -thoroughly
trustworthy after their confidence
has been gained, and they are piti
fully eager to learn of the Chris

"SIMPLY A VOLUNTEER"
Iowa Man Insists His Authority
Merely of Informal .Nature,
But Many Powers Given Des
pite Claims
WASHINGTON, Apr. 4 TAP)
As a step toward coordinating
the Hoover-For-President move
m e n t. former Representative
James W. Good of Iowa has joined
the group of republicans wbo are
directing the campaign of the
commerce secretary. He plans to
spend most of his time in Washing
ton until the Kansas City conven
tion.
In a statement today. Good, who
at one time was chairman of the
house appropriations committee
and In 1924 assisted In the man
agement of the Coolidge pre-con-vention
campaign, said he was in
no sense to be a manager for Mr.
Hoover. It is understood, however.
that he will have many of the pow
ers of a manager, although the di
rection of the cabinet officer's
ampalgn probably will be left
largely in the hands of a group of
Hoover's supporters.
Just a Volunteer
"I am simply a volunteer with
others in an effort to aid the re-
oublicans of the nation to nomin
ate a man for president whom a
Treat majority favor," Good ex
plained In his statement. "There
ire, and I believe there will be no
headquarters. We who are his
friends realize that Mr. Hoover
annot and should not be drawn
actively into the campaign. He U'
fully occupied with his duties as
Secretary of commerce."
Calling attention that Mr. Hoo-
rer was born and spent his boy
hood in the Iowa district whjch he
nce represented in congress, Mr.
Good said that "if we had set out
25 years ago to prepare a man for
he presidency, we would have ta-
ieii the course that has so well
prepared Herbert Hoover."
Coolidge Policies Lauded
I believe in a continuation of
ihe Coolidge policies and no man
tnows these policies better or has
nad a larger share in making them
jffective than has the secretary
if commerce," Good declared. "His
nomination will insure the con
inuation of those policies. He i?
ike Coolidge, short on words and
ong on work and big in accom
plishment."
He said there were thousands of
epublican volunteers all over the
ounty who are working for Mr.
Hoover's nomination, and added:
"They have effectively organiz
ed themselves In most of the
tates under able young leadership.
The spontaneity of this movement
necessitates no formal organsa-
ion. It is desirable, however, that
.hia vast and widespread expres
sion of confidence should have
more coordination. I have been re
vested by Mr. Hoover and a num
ber of state leaders, together with
.'lis friends in and outside of con
gress, to Join with them to do
what I can to further these ef
forts."

improvement has been effected in
the general conditions of the
banks during the year.
"The reduction In loans and dis

inued with a reasonable degree of
regularity during tne succeeding

A year ago the total was $164.
639,912.37, while it now stands
it $151,234,198.46.
"In the item of loans and dis
counts are included loans on per
sonal notes, loans secured by col
lateral, chattel mortgages or real

"Other investments, represent
ed by holdings of bonds, stocks,
ind other securities, have been in--reased
more than $22,000,000.
the total at this time beliiR $114,
127,699.37, nearly half of which
