SPLIT Ifl UTILITIES
CONTROL LOOMING
Administration May Urge
Legislation to Separate
Gas-Electric Units.
By the Associated Press. |
Administration officials may urge ι
the President to recommend leglsla- j
tion to separate natural gas from
electric utility companies.
This information yesterday followed
release by the Federal Trade Commis- |
sion of a section of its utilities report, ι
which suggested the necessity of reg
ulating the use of natural gas pipe- '
lines, that independent companies !
might not be deprived of these facili- j
ties.
The theory behind the proposal to j
divorce gas and electric companies is
to encourage the development of nat
ural gas, which some critics hold has j
been retarded because of the joint
control of these resources by com
panies predominantly interested in
electricity. The President's Power
Policy Committee has the suggestion
under consideration.
•The commission said recent devel
opment of interstate gas transmission
Unes under the control of unregulated
holding companies and grfiups of in
terested companies "may well raise the
question as to whether such lines
should be classed as common carriers j
or public utilities and their use made '
available to other interests, as well as :
those owning the lines."
"At present," the commission add-j
ed. "the only way an independent
producer of gas can find an outlet is '
to sell it to one of the interests con- j
trolling the line. * * *
"This is particularly true where, as '
in the case of the Appalachian and
Ohio gas fields, production territory ;
and ownership of principal interstate j
and intrastate pipe lines and dis-1
tribution systems are in the hands ι
of some one of a very small number
of dominant interests."

Chief,on Warpath,
Forbids Preachers
In Hoodooed Jail ;
"Escape Proof" Atlanta !
Prison Loses Bad Man
With a Saw,
By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, January 12.—Mad cle^n
through by affairs in his new jail.
Chief of Police T. O. Sturdivant today
banned preachers.
Even before things got as they are,
the chief had his troubles—the key
was lost and it was hours before prison
ers could be let into the structure.
Then a fellow, listed as a bold, bad
man from Chicago, sawed his way to
the roof and let himself down to free
dom.
That's when the chief grew irritated.
It was advertised as an "escape proof"
jail, and here was a man gone scot
free!
Two on Force Discharged.
The result was the firing of two
mem of the force and the suspension
of three others.
That looked like the end of the
matter.
But today a colored trusty didn't
return to his cell at the designated
time, but walked off to freedom.
That settled it.
Tonight the chief said all visitors
would be barred tomorrow and if pris
oners desired religious service they
could do theif own preaching and
singing.
That's not all.
Rules Being Changed.
New rules and regulations about
getting into the place are being formu
lated, but until they are visitors must
see the chief personally before they
can get in.
The Police Committee of Council
said there had to be a tightening up,
and so there will be strict regulations
hereatfer.
In the old days when the dilapidated
jail was being used a fellow could see
any one he wished at almost any hour.
Nothing 50 daring was attempted then
as what φ being done now.
And the chief is going to sop it or
else.

World
Saar Hclds Perils for
Europe and Burdens
League.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
THE fever chart of Europe is
going up again; there is an
other crisis in the offing as a
result of the Saar plebiscite.
The tension will net be long
because the League of Nations, which
is counting the votes, will make the
results known before Tuesday morn
ing.
In accordance with the Versailles
treaty, it is up to the League to in
terpret the result of the Saar voting.
If the vote is overwhelmingly in favor
of Germany, of course, there will be
nothing more to be said. The Saar
will be returned to the Reich within
a short time.
If. on the other hand, the re
union of that district to Germany
obtains only a doubtful majority, say
60 or 65 per cent in favor of the
Reich and the rest against it, the
League will have to interpret that
vote, and either decide that only a
part of the Saar shall join Germany
or that the League shall continue to
rule the province for another period
of years.
^IUIVî
Hitler Holds Aloof. .
Unless the interpretation given by
the League is in favor of an im
mediate and unconditional return of
the Saar to Germany, there is likely
to be trouble.
Hitler has astutely refused to send
a delegate to participate at the next
week's debates at Geneva, although
they are concerned exclusively with
the plebiscite question. If the de
cision of the Council is even remotely
unfavorable to Germany there will
be a hue and cry in the Reich and
the Council will be accused of parti
sanship. The German government
will say that Geneva again has
obeyed instructions from Paris and
London and that Germany again was
discriminated against.
The consequences of a decision un
favorable to the Reich may be far
reaching and may throw Europe in
another political turmoil.
If there is a cut-and-dried vote
in favor of Germany the League
will have to announce the return
of the Saar to the mother country
and another cause of trouble thus
will be eradicated.
Davis' Statement Criticized.
Ambassador Davis' statement a few
days ago that there is a possibility of
reaching a naval agreement this year,
with Japan's participation on the
basis of a building program instead
of the ratio system, has caused much
adverse comment in official quarters
in Washington.
It is evident that Mr. Davis, who
is a born optimist, intended to ex
tend this olive branch to Japan, in
order to provoke a favorable reaction
over there. He was induced to be
lieve that such a ftaction was possible,
because of the attitude of the Japa
nese delegates, in their private con
versations with him, in London.
Mr. Davis' statement was cabled
to Tokio, as he expected. But the
reaction was just the opposite from
what he wanted. The Japanese
government and the press con
strued his unofficial declaration to
mean that this country was scared
of the consequences of the de
nunciation of the Washington
treaty and is prepared now to re
trace its steps. The leading Jap
anese newspapers, following in
structions from the government,
immediately declared that only
absolute parity in naval construc
tions can satisfy Japan. Mr. Davis'
statement, it is feared here, did
nothing but to strengthen the
jingoistic element in Tokio.
Bootlegging in Bread.
Bread bootlegging has become a
lucrative business along the Polish
German border. Hundreds of people
cross the frontier carrying white and
black bread into Germany, where
prices are much higher than in Poland.
Thousands of German people, especi
ally in Upper Silesia cross the border,
like thirsty Americans went to Can
ada during the prohibition days, take
the opportunity to have a good, cheap
meal and to provide themselves at
comparatively reasonable prices with
meat, soap and clothing.
Siamese Wooed.
There is a fierce competition be
tween the British and the Japanese
regarding' Slam. Both Britain and
Japan want to gain a strong foothold
in that country and bring it within
its zone of influence.
The Japanese are playing on the
racial feelings of the Siamese and on
the fact that heretofore the British
have been upholding the autocratic
rule of King Prajadhipok, who no^,.
Pet Bills Clog House Happer
ïo Please "Folks Back Home" j
Two Measures Growing Out of Civil
War Are Among 3,890 Filed With
Various Committees. .
BY JAMES Ε. CHINN.
Already the House hopper has been
clogged with private bills—bills that
affect only an individual or two but
which mean so much to the folks back
home and especially to the member
who introduces them.
In less than two weeks of the new
session 3.890 of these so-called private
bills have been introduced, printed
and filed with the various commit
tees—some of them never to see the
ight of a committee hearing or be
distinguished with a place on the
calendar. But that does not stop a
member from trying to please the
folks back home—sometimes a bill
means a vote at election time when it
j is needed, and, sometimes, a whole
family of votes.
At any rate, in this crescendo of
j 3.890 private bills, two have bobbed
I up that have some special historical
significance, particularly here in the
East where we take our early history
ι seriously.
Tobacco Damages Sought.
One of them came from the office
of Representative Burch of Martins·
ι ville, Va, where the Civil War has
not given way to the depression as
the chief topic of cracker barrel con
versation.
Mr. Burch wants Uncle Sam to pay
! the heirs of Reuben Ragland of
Petersburg, Va., for a quantity of
tobacco Union soliders seized at Wil
mington, N. C., in 1865. The sum
asked is $28.588.58. with interest at 6
per cent from April 22, 1865, the date
• the tobacco was sold at auction in
j New York City by order of the Treas
ury Department.
Incidentally, all this tobacco was of
the chewing variety, and $28.588.58
was the amount it brought on the
auction block. There were 223 boxes
of "Virginia Navy W" cut plug and
316 drums of "R. Ragland Twist."
It seems that Ragland. who owned
all that tobacco, fought for the Con
federacy, and under a special amnesty
order was pardoned by President An
drew Johnson July 11, 1865.
Another Civil War Bill.
Representative Lewis of Maryland
put in the other bill, which also has
a background of Civil War history.
On November 11. 1864. there was
a little naval vessel called the Tulip
on its way up the Potomac from Nor
folk to have her boilers repaired. But
her boilers wouldn't last for the jour
ney. and exploded off Raggedy Point
in St. Marys County.
There were 51 officers and men
aboard at the time. Only 17 sur
vived. The bodies of the 40 others,
when recovered, were buried in St.
Marys County, not far from the
scene of the disaster.
In the intervening 70 years the
bodies have been forgotten. The
burial plot is covered with under
brush and trees.
: What Mr. Lewis wants Congress to
I do is to appropriate about $2,000 to
clear away the underbrush on the
burial lot, buy it and erect there a
modest monument.
Byrns Avoids Bills.
Speaker Byrns is one of the few
members of the House who doesn't
like to see his name attached to a
bill. In other words, he doesn't like
to father legislation, particularly since
he has been climbing to the top of
the House leadership.
In the Seventy-third Congress, when
Byrns was the majority leader, he
-,
introduced only one bill—a measure
providing for wild life conservation.
In the present Congress, he says, he
does not propose to drop one bill in j
the hopper with his name on it.
Byrns isn't bashful, exactly, but he
does not believe it to be the duty of
a House leader to take credit for
sponsoring legislation.
For that'reason he proposes to ad
here to a policy of giving all admin
istration bills to the committee
chairmen to sponsor. For instance,
a bill relating to banking and cur
rency would go to Chairman Steagall
Jor introduction: Chairman Palmisano
of the Education Committee would in
troduce any educational legislation,
and Chairman Connery would handle
ail 30-hour-week bills and other leg
islation relating to labor.
Palmisano's Senatorial Rise.
Speaking of Palmisano, his rise from
bartender to Congress, and thence to
an important committee chairmanship
has been nothing short of sensational.
Palmisano was born in Italy. Just
about the time he began to talk his
parents brought him to America, and
settled in Baltimore. At the age of
11 he went to wcrk in a paper box
factory, and advanced from that point
to a bar room, a real estate office and
finally to Congress.
McLeod's Viin Labors.
Representative McLeod. the youthful- !
appearing member of the House from
Michigan, who manages to make the
newspaper headlines despite his Re
publican faith, has been unwittingly
cheated out of some well-deserved
publicity.
For five days McLeod struggled,
writing a bill designed to take ap
pointments in the postal service com
pletely out of politics. Just as he went
to introduce it, the newspapers the
country over emblazoned the fact that
Senator Vandenberg. another Michigan
Republican, had introduced a bill in
the Senate to achieve the same pur
pose.
McLeod put in his bill, anyhow.
But all the newspapers did was to say
that Representative McLeod has in
troduced a bill patterned after the
Vandenberg measure. j
Vandenberg got the glory and Me- !
Leod just a paragraph.
STOKES IS ELECTED
BY CORRESPONDENTS;
Will Head Committee for House
and Senate Press Gal
leries.
Thomas L. Stokes, Washington cor- '
respondent of the New York World
Telegram, was chosen chairman of
the standing committee of corre
spondents of the House and Senate
press galleries at the semi-annual
election yesterday in the House press
gallery.
The standing committee controls :
the congressional press galleries, and',
is composed of newspaper men repre- -
senting newspapers and press asso
ciations of the entire country.
Stokes, by virtue of receiving the
greatest number of votes cast, auto
matically became chairman. Four
other members were elected to the
standing committee out of seven
candidates.
More votes were cast in this year's
election than the preceding one two
years ago, which up until that time
was one of the most spirited ever
held. Serving with Stokes on the
commitee will be Paul J. McGahan of
the Philadelphia Inquirer, Harry B.
Gauss of the Chicago Daily News, Will
P. Kennedy of Tne Evening Star and
William K. Hutchinson of the Inter
national News Service.
Srain Broker Silent During
Session Involving Duel
Between Attorneys.
Flushed and slightly nervous, a
[ray-haired little man ol 64 sat before
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.
Secretary ol Commerce Eoper and
attorney General Cummings yester
lay and heard himself called "the
;reatest grain speculator this country
:ver had."
He was Arthur W. Cutten, Chicago
jrain broker, sometimes known as
'the mystery man of La Salle street,"
vhose slightest activity in connection
with the grain trading marts has been
:onsidered sufficient to cause a turn
)ver of millions of dollars.
Without uttering a word in his own
iefense, he heard himself charged
yesterday with attempted manipula
,ion of the markets, with conspiracy
ind collusion in connection with his
iealings, with making false reports
)i some of those dealings and with
making no report at all on some
jthers.
Counsel Denies Charges.
On his behalf, he heard Orville
raylor, his chief counsel, deny the
first three of these charges and claim
îxtenuating circumstances while ad
mitting the fourth. The extenuating
:ircumstances, Taylor declared, were
the negligence of an office girl em
ployed by Cutten and the negligence
3f the head of the Chicago office of
the Grain Futures Administration.
Earlier in the hearing before the
three cabinet officers, Cutten heard
Leo P. Tierney, special attorney for
the Government, denounce him as a
conspirator for his alleged practice
of maintaining numerous accounts
with several brokerage Arms, each ac
count listing short holdings in grain
in amounts up to 500,000 bushels.
The total of these short holdings
reached a maximum of 7,000.000 bush
els at one time, Tierney said, this
amounting to about 20 per cent of the
whole volume of open contracts on
that date. Members of the broker
age firms were knowingly fellow con
spirators, Tierney charged.
Cutten also listened while Taylor
described him as a man of prominence
in his community, of unimpeachable
integrity and of the finest sense of
honor in his business dealings. A
man, Taylor continued, whose good
name and reputation never before had
been assailed.
Official Is Scored.
Attentive throughout, he listened
while Taylor blamed an office girl for
negligence, then bitterly scored Leslie
A. Fitz, Chicago official of the Grain
Administration, for "willful negligence"
in failing to notify the operator that
regulations were not being complied
with.
The office girl, Taylor explained,
had replaced β former secretary who
had filed satisfactory reports in 1927
1929. The new girl had failed to file
the reports in 1930 and Fitz had al
lowed 18 months to elapse before
bringing it to the attention of Cut
ten's office. Reports filed at that
time. Taylor insisted, had been de
clared adequate although the Gov
ernment now claims them to have
been false.
As the two-hour hearing neared its
close. Cutten heard Tierney return to
the stand to scoff at the defense claim
that it was Incumbent upon Fitz to
notify the brokerage office that they
must comply with certain regulations.
He heard Tierney declare further that
the broker knew to the bushel how
much grain he held on any day and
that he knew what the Government
regulations were, that he was not de
pendent in any degree upon a single
office girl to fill such requirements.
Hyde Telegram Read.
Finally, he heard the Government
attorney read a telegram signed by
former Secretary of Agriculture Hyde
of the Hoover administration asking
the operator to desist from his short
trading activities in grains, if reports
were true that such operations were
going on. In reply, Tierney read a
telegram to Hyde from Cutten in
which the latter denied he was active
in grains. On the day that the tele
gram was sent. Tierney charged, Cut
ten was short by more than 4.000,000
bushels of wheat.
A decision on the case, involving
disbarment from further trading if
the charges are upheld, probably will
be rendered in two or three weeks, one
of the members of the commission said
after adjournment.
Testimony taken In previous hear
ings in Chicago will be studied by the
commission, as well as further legal
argument submitted in the form of a
brief by counsel for Cutten.

Leper Treatment
Of Methylene Blue
Found Successful
Hopes of Cure Aroused
by Experiments in
Tahiti Colony.
By the Associated Press.
PAPEETE, Tahiti. January 12.—
Highly beneficial results have been
obtained in the leper colony of Orofara
Tahiti, with use of methylene blue
injections says a medical report in
the "journal official of the French
establishment In Oceanic."
So encouraging have been the ef
fects of the treatment for one month
upon ten subjects that all 122 lepers
in the colony have demanded the same
treatment.
Dr. Dias, medical captain in charge,
said that in all cases treated there
had been definite amelioration, dis
appearance of pain due to degenerat
ing tissues and subsidence of leprous
lesions with ulcers in process of cic
atrisation.
While it is impossible to say yet
that definite and permanent cures
will be effected, Dias stated there li
a possiblity of transforming very rapid
ly a contagious leper into one of non
contagious type.
One per cent solution of methylene
blue is injected twice weekly in doe«
commencing at 10 cubic centimeter!
and increasing gradually to 25 cubic
centimeters, at which figure they are
maintained.
Farm Aid to Continue.
Latvia is expected to continue this
year it subsidies to fanners.
ENGINEERS BACK
ROOSEVELT PUN
t
Council Will Co-operate in
New Work Program
of President.
The American Engineering Council
yesterday adopted a resolution to go
band In hand with President Roose
velt's work program, as outlined In his
message to Congress, at the final ses
sion of the three-day convention held
in the Pan-American room of the
Mayflower Hotel.
The resolution urges that all plans
for rural electrification be placed in
the hands of the Bureau of Agricul
tural Engineers to assemble the data
and find out how closely this work can
conform to the President's plan.
Three noted authorities on engi
neering problems spoke yesterday.
They were Col. Donald H. Sawyer,
director of the Federal Employment
Stabilization office, who discussed
the outlook for private construction;
Capt. R. S. Patton, director of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, who out
lined the mapping program of the
Federal Government, and Dr. Isador
Lubln, director of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Dr. Lubln described a sur
vey being made by his department to
find out how many engineers wer
unemployed or forced to abandor
their profession for other work durln:
the so-called depression.
Another resolution adopted by th
engineer body advocated further de
velopments along the George Wash
lngton Canal as a scenic route an
as a shrine to George Washingto:
the engineer.
During the meeting It was an
nounced that more than 10,000 engi
neers soon would be put to work ir
mapping parts of the United State
which the Coast and Geodetic Survey
reports have not been completely and
satisfactorily surveyed.
If the plan to authorize agricul
tural engineers to do the ground work
In the rural electrifleation project is
approved, it was pointed out by lead
ers in the profession that thousand*
of unemployed engineers would b
put to work.
CONFERENCE PLANNED
Miss Alice Sowers, parent educatic
specialist, will conduct a parent edu
cation conference at the rational Ed
ucation Association Building Tuesda
morning and afternoon. The session
is being sponsored by the District ol
Columbia Congress of Parents and

The British are playing on the
vanity of the Siamese "republicans,"
having invited their officers to the
very secret combined exercises of the
British army, navy and air force at
Singapore. They are telling the près-,

never interferes in the internal affairs
of any country and the disinterested
friendship His Majesty's government
has extended to the King of Siam
will be extended to whatever form of
government might be set up In Slam.
Sir Josiah Crosby, the British
Minister at Bangkok, does not speak
against the Japanese; this would be
a poor policy in the East. He merely
points out to the Siamese what the
Japanese are doing to their friends
and asks them to look into the history
of the former independent empire of
Korea, today a Japanese province.
