PAGE TWO ANGRY WQHD5 Publicity Man's Suggested Relationship With Hoo ver is Aired ! WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (AP) Mention of President Hoover in connection with tariff activities of the American bottler's of carbon ate beverages precipitated a heat ed exchange today before the sen ate lobby committee between Sen ator Robinson, republican. Indi ana, and H. H. Pike. Jr.. a Wall Street sugar broker. : The outburst resulted from a letter written lait February by Pike to P. A. Staples, of the Cea ' tral Hershey company of ilavana. which said V. C. D'Arcy. publicity man for the Coca Cola company, "has apersonal method of ap proach to Hoover and is going to ae that Hoover gets full but con cise data on the sugar subject." Pike, who previously had testi fied that the Coca Cola and Her shey companies were financing a campaign by the Bottlers' associa tion against a high sugar duty in the tariff bill, said he wes un able to give the exact source of his Information, it had come, he said, from a person who had at tended a breakfast given by Rob ert W. Woodruff, president of the Coca Cola company. The letter said those present at the breakfast, in addTTTon to Pike and Woodruff, were D'Arcy, Mr. Horsey, export vice preisdeut of the Coca Cola company, and Ralph Hayes, publicity vice president of the Chatham and Phenix National bans:. - Leaning across the committer table, Robinson the only regular republican on the committee pointed a finger at the witness and shouted: - "That looks to the average man, I would think, that there was come backstair method of ap proach." 'It would not mean that to a business man," Pike returned." "We had this little meeting at breakfast," the witness testified. "You can count how many people were there six or eight. We talk ed about 'what are we going to do to prevent this wicked increase in the sugar tariff?' and one of those people laid to me, 'I think Mr. D'Arcy can put these sugar facts before President Hoover.' which is a perfectly proper thing for him to do, and I do not remember which of those men told me that, but they never told me how he was going to put It there, and I do not say that In the memorandum." Senator Robinson asked Pike if be thought it was "a fair method of procedure" to send the informa tion to Mr. Staples, adding that "he could tell It to anyone he de sired." "I think It Is very fair," Pike aid. "Bandying. the president's name tround when you today say yon uo not know what the method was or what you were talking about then?" Robinson shot back. "I did not know, but if I had a method of putting it before Presi dent Hoover, I should do so, and I would tell you so and I would be very proud of having the ability," Pike retorted. COLUMBUS. Ohio, Jan. 8. (AP) The state supreme court today rejected the motion of Dr. James H.

The court did not go into the request of the defense for a writ ten opinion on its reasons for re jecting the appeal. Strike Expected To End Shortly Officials State CLEVELAND. Jan. t.

Another thing, do you realize the exchange that is going on be tween the legitimate stage and the screen? Here are a few ar tists that are flying back and forth between screen and stage: John Charles Thomas, who has made two Vitaphone Varieties, re ceived eight curtain calls after singing Tonio in "I Pagliacci," with the Philadelphia Grand Opera company recently. He will ping "Rlgoletto" and "The Masked Ball" during the opera season in Philadelphia. Fred Keating, whose "Illu sions," and Ruth Etting, whose "Glorifying the Popular Song," were recent popular variety screen numbers, have both been cast In Ruth Selwyn's "Nine Fifteen Re vue," opening Boon In Philadel phia, and thence to New York:. Bert Lahr, star of "Faint Heart." has been cast In George White's new musical comedy now known as "Aces Up," soon to open in Boston, with a New - York en gagement following. Eddie Foy, Jr., son of the noted comedian, and brother of Bryan Foy, director, will be a member of the new Fred Stone show to fol low Gillette's "Sherlock Holmes at the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York. Eddie, Jr., has .appear ed to three Vitaphone Varieties. Lfoks as though before so very long there would be no fight be tween the two Just a matter of variety and all on the same re spectable level. Yon have seen the "Show of Shows" of course, now at Bllgh's Capitol. It's quite the thing to do for everyone Is talking about it and it's like a popular book one really wants to be able to dis cuss it. There are two kinds of opinions concerning it good and bad. No one seems to be left indifferent Sdme call It superb the best show ever -seen, and others call It -hash." One thing Is true It Is a spec tacle. It lasts tor two hours and some odd minutes and each scene is Individual and "different. Sueh stage scenery certainly has not yet been excelled on th screen of legitimate. But the technicolor -leaves one staring through a sort of evening gloaming effect that is annoying when yon want to see the expres sion of the ' performers. The color Is beautiful, however.

One of the Interesting things done is the presentation of groups ot-elsters who are appearing on the screen of today this is done through chorus work and in an interesting manner. The pirates - of the screen are shown on a pirate boat and each of the well known ones introduces himself in an amusing manner. The power of the Barrymore voice Is beautifully displayed by John who gives a soliloquy by Richard HI which may be found In "King Henry VI." It is a very fine piece of work and its tone by contract to the lightness of the rest of the show is almost a shock. "The Show of shows" Is a grand spectacle. People of all ages from the farthest past to the present have had their grand spectacles either In the name A religion or pleasure. The college professor of 2030 A. D. will look at modern inventions like the 'Show of Shows" and say "A wonderful example of the pagan appreciation of the times." IS The condition of Romeo Goulet. Marlon county legislator who Is being confined at the Salem Gen eral hospital with pneumonia. Is considerably Improved, according to a statement Issued by hospital officials Wednesday evening. Goulet has been cared for at the hospital since he became stricken with pneumonia Sunday evening. Dr. W. B. Morse is In charge of Goulet. Amory T. "Slats" Gill has pass ed the danger point in his siege wHh Influenza which caused him to be sent to the Salem General hospital last Monday. It was fear ed that he might have contracted pneumonia but he has improved daily and it is expected that he will be released soon to again take np the handling of the Ore gon State college basketball team of which he is head coach. Food Fads Held Mostly Without Genuine Value Practically all of the "food fads" and highly advertised and high priced "health foods" are worthless except in Isolated cases and should not be used to excess except nnder the advice of a pb.7' siclan. Dr. Edward Lee Russell told his fellow Roiarlana at the Wednesday luncheon. Dr. Rus sell was a "pinch hitter" for Dr., P. O. Riley of Hubbard, whsj was scheduled to speak but could hot attend because of an Injury - to Mrs.- Riley. Incidentally Dr. Russell con demned the food which the Ro- tarlans had just eaten, as better suited for working men than busi ness men, and criticized their cus tom of singing between courses as not conducive to the best diges tion.

Then came Crown Prince Hum bert and his mother. Queen Hele na, of Italy, followed by King Vic tor Emanuel with Queen Eliza beth of Belgium. The procession passed through a crowd of a thousand guests in the hall of the royal guards Among them were members of the Italian and Belgian aristocra cies, state officials and members of the diplomatic corps. The men were in full uniform or full dress, and the women wore gowns in pastel shades, veils and tiaras. The party then entered the Pauline chapel where the highest ranking diplomats and the cab inet ministers were waiting for them. The king and queen of Italy ascended a small throne dais on the gospel side of the altar, and the king and queen of Belgium a similar throne on the epistle side. Princess Marie Jose and Crown Prince Humbert knelt on red plush rie-dieux mounted with gold. Among the royal personages on the left of the altar, were King Boris of Bulgaria, former King Manuel of Portugal, former King Amunullah and former Queen Souriyah of Afganistan, and for mer Queen Sophia of Greece. The actual marriage ceremony was almost over before the dis tinguished congregation realized that it had begun. Cardinal Maf fl pronounced the "I join you in matrimony" about five minutes after the couple first knelt before : the altar. In accordance with old custom an ancient rectangular veil twelve feet long was held over the heads of the royal pair by the count of Turin, the duke of Abruzzi, the prince of Udine and the duke of Pistoal, and it was dropped after they had answered "si." The princess and the crown prince turned to their parents for the final gesture of parental consent before answering "Yes." The Bel gian and the Italian sovereigns re plied by an inclination of the head. Then Crown Prince Humbert placed a ring on Marie-Jose's fin ger, and Cardinal Maffi proceed ed to celebrate the mass, for which Pope Pius granted plenary indulgence to an those participat ing. At the elevation of the host, trumpets rang out, and drums sounded In accordance with royal ritual. After the mass the procession moved out of the chapel with the same pageantry and color. The new crown princess of Italy was dressed In white cream velvet and wore a train bordered with ermine seven yards loqg.

E WASHLVGTOX. Jan. 8. (AP) Further increases in rayon tar iffs were approved today by the senate during an all day session devoted exclusively to this fast growing industry. With the exception of the first paragraph in the new schedule, approved yesterday but recon sidered today and deferred for final action until new import sta tistics are" received, work on com mittee amendments to the rayon section was completed. Another controversy then .be gan over whether the papers and books schedule, which follows rayon in the bill, or the highly disputed, sugar duties, should be taken up tomorrow. That was un settled when the senate ad journed. Chairman Smoot, of the fi nance committee, said the sugar rates had been deterred long en ough' and asked that they should be disposed of Immediately. Sen ator Harrison, democrat, Missis sippi, however, asked that they go over until Monday and made a motion to that effect, but Smoot prevailed upon his to postpone of fering it until tomorrow. Not a single record vote was required today, despite a severe assault on the proposed increases by Senator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, who cited treasury In come tax figures to show that 70 per cent of the American rayon mills were foreign controlled and were making millions in profits while paying their workers' "pit table pittances" for wages.
