GOLD SUITS
BEFORE HOUSE
Republican* Offer Fight
For Another of F. D/s
Vensures
WASHINGTON. July 18. —!
The house set out Thursday to
erase from its calendar another.
measure barring the way to ad
journment. It called up for debate j
the resolution to prevent suits
against the government for alleged
damages arising out of dollar de
valuation.
The measure, requested by the
president, was accompanied by a
rule limiting general debate to
three hours. Thus democratic
leaders hoped for action soon.
Republicans in the house were
fighting the legislation. They have
contended that it would damage
government credit and that it is
too broad.
Administration spokesmen have
asserted that the government might
suffer a potential loss of $7,000,- j
000,000 should all holders of gov- ,
eminent securities corn a i n i n g
clauses providing for payment in
gold be able to prove they had been
injured by dollar devaluation.
In the gold clause cases, the
supreme court held the government
acted illegally in abrogating to
promise to pay off its securities in
C‘ 1 but it added that no damages
been shown. It left the way !
open, howver, for suits by security
holders who could show damage.
In approving the resolution, the
house banking committee said it *
would remove the speculative chance
of unjustified ‘ enrichment" of any- j
one who might be able to recover
the present gold face value of gov- :
eminent bonds Instead of receiving
only present paper dollars.

Tactics of Utilities To
***** *****
Get Deeper Investigation
WASHINGTON, July 18. (A*)—An
inquiry of nation-wide scope to
check the source of the torrents of
telegrams sent to Washington dur
ing the utilities bill fight was in
prospect Thursday.
Senate lobby investigators asked
Western Union to prohibit the
destruction of any messages trans
mitted in the past year, and offi
cials of the company had promised
to co-operate.
Meantime the Associated Gas 8c
Electric System, one of whose em
ployes was named in connection
with the sending of anti-utility bill
telegrams alleged to have been
faked, issued a statement declar
ing It would stand by him and
another employe mentioned in the
senate inquiry “until we have con
vincing evidence that some other
action is warranted.’*
The statement also disclosed
that the company had spent $700.
000 fighting the wheeler-Raybum
utilities legislation. The committee
01 public utility executives, an
other opponent of the Roosevelt
backed Mil, already has announced
the expenditure of $10,000. Thus
the total expenditures recorded thus
far is approximately $1,000,000.
Another development was the
announcement that the Pennsyl
vania state attorney general had
directed District Attorney L. G.
Eddy to investigate charges that
faked telegrams were sent from
Warren. Pa., to Washington. A
Pennsylvania law provides a $500
fine and a year in prison for send
ing faked telegrams.
The senate lobby investigators In
dicated Thursday they wanted to
determine if there were any other
incidents like that at Warren.
In that town, according to tes
timony in the record, more than
1,000 telegrams protesting the
Roosevelt administration’s drive for
compulsory abolition of certain
utility holding companies were
signed with names taken from a
city directory and then burned aft
er being transmitted.
The lobby investigators sought
Thursday to learn more about an
other incident involving alleged
destruction of records. Late Wed
nesday. the senators heard testi
mony that E. W. O’Brien, an offi
cial of the Associated Gas and
.Electric company, ordered a subor
Idinate. R. P. Herron, to destroy his
office records of the messages sent
to Washlrg* n.
This testimony was given by L. 8.
Shew, Western Union manager at
Erie, Pa. Shew also said O’Brien
suggested that the messages de
stroyed at Warren be replaced with
other copies
O’Brien and Herron were sum
moned to appear Thursday to give
their version of the affair.
Arthur F. Christenson. Western
Union operator at Warren, said
Jack Fisher, manager of the office,
had told him “Herron was worried
because he could be sentenced to 30
years for forgery because of the
telegrams." Herron has been nam
ed the man who sent the telegrams.
From Elmer Danielson, a tele
graph messenger boy, the com
mittee heard that Associated Gas
and Electric paid Western Union
boys at Warren three cents each
for gamering signatures to tele
grams protesting the abolition
clause.
