The Lobby Probe
The lobby probea at Washington have proven that the
flood of telegrams that delayed congress to preserve utility
holding companies and induced congressmen to kill the
"death sentence" clause to protect the "widows and or
phans" were largely fake affairs to which the names of per-
sons in city directories were forged by holding company em
ployes.
The president described this utilities lobby as the most
txywerful ever seen in Washington. It must have been to
. switch the votes. One of the utility magnates admits over
$5UU,uuu was spent. And Representative Brewster of Maine,
whose charges stnrted It all, seems to be in a tight box.
Brewster, a former governor, elected because of his op
position to utilities, who had been a staunch supporter of
the Wheeler bill, switched his vote at the show-down and
voted against the death sentence, giving as his reason that
he resented threats made by Thomas Corcoran, an adminis
tration lawyer of holding up a federal Maine power project.
He repeated the story before the investigating committee.
Corcoran denied the threat and testified that Brewster had
helped to fight for the "death sentence," but finally wavered
and proposed to dodge the vote. "You're a liar," shouted
Brewster.
Dr. Ernest Onioning, old friend and supporter of Brew
Mcr and tho only witness to Corcoran-Bre water conversa
tion supported Corcoran's story as did other witnesses, leav
ing Brewster's resentment alibi unsupported. It is hoped
the investigators find out what caused Brewster to shift his
stand. It would throw more light on utility lobbying.
A Christian War
Abyssinia has been a Christian nation as long as Italy
has. The national religion is Monnphysile Christianity,
1 hough Judaism and Islam are found in certain regions. The
head of the Abyssinian church is the abuna (our father),
who is a Coptic monk nominated by the Patriarch of Alex
andra. His influence is modified by the Itchege, who Is an
Abyssinian nnd controls the religous orders numbering
100,000 ecclesiastics.
The Abyssinian empire dates from the first century
B. C.( on the downfall of the Ttolemies. Christianity was
introduced in 330 by Foumentius, nnd monachism in 440
from Kgypt by the "nine saints." It, was in 312 that Con
stantino made Christianity the official religion of Homo.
So we have the spectacle of the oldest Christian nation
In Europe preparing for a predatory war of aggrandizmcnt
on the oldest and only Christian nation of Africa, and that
in violation of the League of Nation's pact, to which both
are signatory, and the Kellogg pact to outlaw war. as well
as the precepts or Christ, and the rulers of both nations ap
pealing to God to bless their cause.
The war is launched by Mussolini primarilv to divert
attention from the economic plight in Italy an old device
of dictators, and whipped up by a controlled press and the
customary patriotic propaganda to arouse the war spirit.

POISOV PEV
"Well," Ouy went on, "about a
month later, I began to find my
practice vanishing. Patients who
had been seeing me every day wrote
and said they felt they'd like an
other doctor; people I met began
to look at me In a funny sort of
way, and I found myself being cut
in the street.
"I stood It as ion? as I could and
then I got hold of a man I knew
quite well and asked him what had
happened. He told me that there
was a most scurrilous story going
round about me and a young Amer
ican girl called Trevor who had dis
appeared. "I went to the French police, of
course; they tracked the tale home
to some anonymous letters which
had been sent to my patients. But
though they did their best, they
couldn't trace the writer. And that
wasn't the worst! I was asked to
leave the club.
"My dear!" Alison's eyes were full
of sympathy. "How awful for you!"
"Not too nice was it?" he con
curred. "Anyway. I soon saw that
I wasn't getting a living any more;
I couldn't even sell my practice for
a fifth of the sum I gave. I had
to clear out. I came home here
to England and I put Scotland
Yard on to tracing the letters. But
by then the trail was cold and they
failed. An old friend of mine,
Dundas, let me stop with him and
help a bit in return for my board
and I'd one consolation, a ny way ;
I was doing good work again, where
it was needed."
He was silent for a few seconds,
looking straight out oerore him, His
clear, light eyes came down slow
ly and rested on her face.
"You know, I'm not sorry, now!
I mean, that it happened." He was
smiling at her. "If it hadn't, I'd be
out there now!"
"Rather a big price to pay!" said
Alison.
"Not too big."
"Not?"
"No! Not a bit. 1 didn't know
that anyone could be as much in
love as I am with you!"
"Are you?" She knew it. yet was
pining to hear him say so.
"You know I am. Utterly. When
I thought I'd lost you, yesterday, I
went nearly crazy.
"So did I. It was half a whisper.
"Directly after the door shut I was
sorry. I wanted to tear after you
down the street."
"Did you?"
"Mm mm . ,
The clock struck the half hour.
A very fat man with a scowl and a
rolled newspaper, waiting for his
lunch, glowered impatiently at the
two wno sat at the corner table.
He muttered grumpily. "Indecent,
I call it!" and looked at his watch.
A young clerk, looking for a free
chair, caught at the back of one by
Alions table, looked down, raised
his eyebrows and went elsewhere
wearing a very wide grin.
Totally unconscious that anyone
had even looked at them, Guy and
Alison drifted back Into their inter
rupted conversation.
"You begin to see how It was?"
"I think so.' she said. "But I
don't quite understand where the
house at Warley came in."
'I'll tell you that in a minute,
More coffee? No? A clgnret? Don't
you? Just as well? We shan't be
able to afford it!"
Alison turned so bright a pink
that It clashed with the red ribbon
on her hat.
"Be quiet! Someone'!! hear you!1
"Let 'em." said Guv briefly.
"What was I saying? Oh, yes.
Warley. It was like this. I'd given
up all hope of finding out who'd
sent those letters, though I felt
pretty certain in my own mind
that It was this woman. I told you

who would hate me enough.

"I'll tell you later, said Alison.
"Go on!"
"Well, anyway, they were having
a most awful row. One could hear
'em half across the restaurant. She
was calling him every name under
the sun because he hadn't married
her after her husband's death. He
was a nasty bit of work and he
simply sat and shrugged his shoul
ders a?id sneered and told her that
if she wanted him she'd better get
some money.
"He told her that if she hadn't
been a fool, she'd have known about
her husband having an annuity.
She was obviously dreadfully in
love with the fellow and half off
her head and I rather hoped ihe
might say something that would
give me a clue. Unfortunately, she
looked up and saw me.
"She went about as white as that
menu and shut up as if she'd lost
her tongue and I saw the man look
round at me. Then a waiter came
up and told me that he'd put
through my call and that Dundas
was on the telephone and when I
got back they'd both gone. But for
that I might have followed them.
That was about six weeks ago. And
I heard nothing more at all until
the other night, the night that 1
met you."
"About 6 o'clock that evening, I
was In the surgery and I got a
'phone caU. I couldn't place the
voice at all. It night have been a
man's or a woman's, it had a sort
of whistling sound in it as if the
person had got asthma."
"Talking through a comb," sug
gested Alison.
"I hadn't thought of that! You're
probably right," he agreed. "Any
way, the person said that if I was
at the Croft House, Warley, Sussex,
at eleven-thirty, punctually, that
night, I would meet the writer of
the anonymous letters.
"So I left London that night di
rectly after I was done with my last
case, got down just before eleven
and parked my car right up on the
downs. Then I walked down to the
house as quietly as I could, found a
good spot just across the road and
lay down to wait. You see, I guessed
the person'd turn up to wait for me,
since the house looked empty and
r meant to have a look at 'em first.
But then I saw a light moving in
side the house
"My light!"
"Yes. So I started to get into the
garden and Investigate, when I saw
someone climbing in through the
open window. So I thought lt d be a
good idea to climb in too, and sur
prise 'em, as they'd be expecting
me to arrive by the door. Anyway,
I got in and the next thing I knew
was your hand in my face and a
terrific yell."
Alison looked at him curiously.
"But why didn't you tell me right
off? I mean your name and why
you were there?"
"Because I was such a complete
and utterly blind fool that I thought
that you might have something to
do with it!"
"With the anonymous letters?"
"Yes. Or the telephone call. I felt
in my bones that you were telling
me the truth, of course, but well,
I didn't know what they were play
ing at, and I didn't mean to be
caught. That's why I couldn't tell
you I'd a car and take you into
Warley and that's the reason I
wanted you to wait upstairs, I did-1
nt mean them to catch us together.
You see, those letters had practic
ally accused me of causing the Tre
vor girl to disappear and I thought
they might be trying it again. I tell
you, I was a blind fool!"
"Not a bit," contradicted Allison,
"I think It was rather natural after
what you'd been through."

retorted Guy, "I ought to have
known but anyway, that's what I

JOAN WARNER
IS HELD GUILTY
OF INDECENCY
Paris, July 18 oPi Joan Warner,
the blonde American dancer, was
found guilty today of "outraging the
morals" of Paris and was fined 60
francs S3. 30.
Miss Warner did her "outraging"
by dancing in the nude. The deci
sion against the American made a
basis for a widespread prosecution
of all nude dancers in theaters and
night clubs here.
Judge Rebrasier decided: "Mile.
Warner's dance Is artistic but too
naked."
M. Fraudrin, manager of the club
where Joan danced, was fined 200
francs about $13 because of his
"purely commercial spirit."
The costs of the trial multiplied
the fines eightfold.
The judge said Miss Warner's
"powder and paint somewhat mask
ed her nakedness, but the single ar
ticle Mile. Warner wore concealed
very little."
He commented that the dancer
"undressed bit by bit her dance is
artistic but it is difficult to distin
guish between art and Indecency;
sometimes a look or a gesture will
change everything."
Unless it is upset on appeal, the
verdict constitutes a police guide, the
judge announcing: "A nude dance
cannot be tolerated even if it is artistic."

Clear Lake Berry picking has
been brought to a halt in this vi
cinity due to hot weather. Only the
north sides of the vines are being
gathered now and if it still contin
ues this week will almost end them.
Cherries are all gathered. Sour
cherries finished last week. Lots of
hay going into bails and bams with
only fair crops reported.
Early peaches are being picked
now. Market is poor with only fair
crop. Most orchards report a very
short peach crop this year.
several poultrymen reported quite
heavy losses of their flocks during
last Saturday and Sunday heat. Ce-
cil Boyds lost 12 hens and David
Schlags lost 21 pullets just starting
to lay. Quite a number of nice fields
of corn around which did not show
much damage of hot weather. Gar
dens and tomatoes and peaches
were badly hurt.
LYTLE ACCUSES
MEDICINE FIRM
Patent medicine companies are
behind congressional legislation to
divert Bangs disease testing funds
to experimental medicinal treatment
of the disease, charged Dr. W. H.
Yytle, animal Industries division
chief of the state department of
agriculture.
The disease Is now being effec
tively controlled and eradicated by
the only method known to medical
science testing, slaught e r i n g,
cleaning and disinfecting, and re-
testing." said Lytic.
It was not enough that brown
sugar and bran should have been
sold to distressed dairymen as i
cure for the infectious abortion,'
Dr. Lytle said. "The medicine in
terests now would establish claims
to cures through establishment of
family immunity In herds kept free
from newly-added animals. A con
certed effort Is being made by all
state sanitary officials to impress
on their congressional delegations
that medicinal treatment of Bangs
disease is worthless."

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mail on
Washington, July 18. The peek
a-boo game which Mr. Morgenthau
is playing with the silver specula
tors Is the one bright spot In an
otherwise humorless situation here.
Mr. Morgenthau is committed to
bidding the existing 67-cent price
of silver up to $1.29. Ordinarily:
you would expect that everyone who
could lay his hand on 67 cents
would buy an ounce of silver and
be assured of almost 100 per cent
profit.
But apparently no one will be
lieve Mr. Morgenthau. at least not
consistently. Some days ago, even
the speculators began to doubt that
he would do what the law requires
him to do. A break was threatened
In the London silver market. The
speculators started unloading around
6 cents.
To prove they were wrong about
him, Mr. Morgenthau went out and
bought forty to fifty million ounces
of their holdings.
It cost him about $30,000,000. It
forced him to acquire in three days
nearly twice as much silver as the
United States produced in 1934.
But it satisfied the speculators that
Mr. Morgenthau Is not going to let
them down.
Super-confidence Someone told
Mr. Morgenthau a few days later
that it would take him eleven years
to acquire the promised three-to-one
silver ratio with gold at his
present rate of buying. His com
ment was asked.
With customary frankness, Mr.
Morgenthau unbuttoned his coat
and replied: "Do you know the dif
ference between an optimist and a
pessimist?"
Everyone present did. but no one
told him, so he continued: "a pes
simist wears both a belt and sus
penders." From his preliminary gesture it
was apparent that he was not wear
ing a belt, but, sweeping back his
coat In a further burst of confi
dence, he disclosed that he also
lacked suspenders.
This, also, was encouraging to
those who have Invested in silver
because it proved Mr. Morgenthau
has far more confidence than the
ordinary man about two things in
life, one of which Is siver.
Encouragement That very day,
Mr. Morgenthau received further
proof that some important people
believe him. even if some of the
other speculators have remained
unconvinced. An item appeared in
newspapers that a syndicate com
posed of John J. Raskob and Sen
ator Key Pittman was buying i
$5,000,000 stake in the old Comstock
silver lode in Nevada.
The inside story on this was that
Senator Pittman, known in con
gress as "Silved Key" because he
always has the key to the silver
policy, has been retained as attor
ney in negotiations for merging
five silver firms. A few of his Ne
vada friends, including Zeb Ken
dall, old time prospecting charac
ter, and certain attorneys interest
ed Mr. Raskob In the prospects of
Mr. Morgenthau's silver policy to
an extent ranging between $300,000
and $400,000.
Understanding Senator Pitt-
man's faith in Mr. Morgenthau was
understandable to all insiders, be
cause Pittman Is the new deal sil
ver policy. He conceived it, wrote
the law under which it is being con
ducted and is understood to be a

Counsel Oliphant in its adminis

that Mr. Raskob could not get an
attorney who knows and will know
more about the subject.
But Mr. Raskob's display of faith
was not obvious. The published
stories failed to recall that his last
big publicized investment was in
the Al Smith campaign of 1928.
Postmaster General Farley's demo
cratic national committee still owes
him $45,000 on that.
It has been suggested that, If
Mr. Raskob were big-hearted, he
would apply his expected profits
from Mr. Morgenthau's policy to
cancelling the debt, but there seems
to be some question as to how big
Mr. Raskob's heart gets when the

for all and all for a higher silver
price Messrs. Morgenthau. Pitt
man, Raskob and unidentifiable
members of the-syndicate, the stock
of which will not be sold to the
public.
Causes The spasmodic waves of
distrust apparently are sponsored
by new dealers themselves. For in
stance, certain treasury officials
dropped a few disparaging remarks
about the silver policy before sen
ator McCarran wrote a letter to
Mr. Morgenthau some weeks ago
asking if he was living up to the
law.
The most recent wave apparently
is traceable to an article published
in one of the new deal's own mag
azines, criticizing the stiver policy
gently. It is generally believed that
one of Mr. Roosevelt's good advisers
has lately changed hit mind and
no longer sees economic possibili
ties in the policy.
Hopes At the moment, what Ihe
silver speculators are plaguing Mr.
Morgenthau is one way or another
to find out is whether he will boost
the price to $1.29 before next year's
elections. There Is some betting
that he will, because the silver sen
ators will tell President Roosevelt
It must be done in order to carry
the five western silver states.
The fact Is no one knows, but, If
the policy is continued next year in
the same Jovial spirit as during the
past year, the faith of all silver
investors in Mr. Morgenthau will
be finally and forever vindicated .
Assurances can now be given that
they will erect a silver statue to
him on the vacant north plaza of
the treasury.

CAN CAN CAN'T CAN
Home canning is growing, and
housewives can can many fruits and
vegetables, although the commer
cially canned product is much bet
ter and safer. But they can't can
pineapple because that all grows in
Hawaii. There's plenty of it for
sale, however, and here's a delicious
way to serve it:
ORIENTAL SANDWICH
Mix well together two parts Ha
waiian crushed pineapple, two parts
thredded canned shrimp, one part
finely sliced celery and mayonnaise.
Spread between buttered white bread
and cut In shapes as desired.
They do this in Austria: Wash
medium sized sweet potatoes and
cut a hole through the center
lengthwise, using an apple corer.
Place a canned Vienna sausage in
each potato and bak until tender.
A fine fruit salad which costs
less than 35 cents for four people is
made by draining one cup canned
fruits for salad and half the con
tents of a No. 2 can grapefruit and
adding one-half cup sliced celery
and one-fourth cup chopped nuts.
Mix carefully with one-fourth cup
mayonnaise and serve on lettuce.
You'll give no quarter to this 1
summer salad which costs less than
a quarter:
Pea and lettuce salad: Drain one
up of canned peas and marinate)
in two" tablespoons French dressing
for at least an hour. Add one
fourth cup chopped walnuts, three
fourths cup crisp shredded lettuce
and one-fourth cup mayonnaise and
mix lightly together. Serves four.
Breakfast cocktails are now the
vogue. Wash one pint of berries
and break In halves. Pile in glass
dessert dishes, sprinkle with one
fourth cup sugar and let stand In
the refrigerator until the rest of '
the breakfast is ready. Then pour
over a chilled syrup made the night
before by boiling together for a few
minutes the contents of a No. 3
can pineapple Juice, one-fourth cup
water and one-fourth cup sugar.
Serves eight.
