WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 Senatorial

the world at

thev have gone
through the

mai.i.un Senator Nye get
Mr. Morgan on the stand here Janu- ,
in 7. . J
One thing which will come out
then is the fact that Mr. Morgan's ;
firm is not the same old Morgans,

Mr. Nves Beagles oia not

The answer Is that the remain

business In keeping with old stand

old house by order of the new
banking act.
But no one Is doing any security
underwriting business of any major
consequence these days. None has
been done since the depression. Con
sequently, the evidence to be dis
closed about the Morgan business
will be in the nature of ancient
history, specifically pre-war history.
The real reason Nye wants to In
terrogate Morgan Is to make public
some data about tile Influence of
international bankers In connection
with pre-war allied propaganda.
Morgan then was fiscal agent for
the British and French governments.
Nye la supposed to have received
his data, not from the Morgan flies,
but from the state department, but

He said ha could not tell definitely

His hopeful expression came while
worried Hilo residents called a mass
meeting to discuss emergency action

The lava is within three miles or

from the city.

The results thus far have been en

bombing.
"Just 34 hours after the bombing
the stoppage began. Just as I figured.
The results are very Interesting and
very favorable.
"I am rather aurprlsed there has
been no new pahoehoe or liquid lava
flow from the source. However, no
such flow Is visible now."
Natives, recalling ancient Hawaiian
lore, deplored the attempt of man
to change the course of the lava,
which legend says Is sent by Pele,
the fire goddess who dwells In the
volcano.
