ROBINSON DEFENDS GOOLIDGE AGAINST NORMS "SLANDER" Democratic Leader Declares "Grumb ling: George" Has No Ground For His Attack. Washington. Jan. 9. The United States senate witnessed strange and exciting scenes today when Senator Robinson of Arkansas, democratic floor leader, in an impassioned speech declared himself obliged to defend Calvin Coolidge, republican president, as an "honorable man," who. he asserted, had been slandered by Senator Norris. republican, of Nebraska, as a "crook." The democratic leader subjected the Nebraska senator to a merciless but artistic excoriation, referring to him directly as "grumbling Georgp," "the wag of the senate," and by im plication as a "buffoon" and a "blind "statesman." Despite the severity and vigor of his remarks. Senator Robinson de livered what appeared to be a care fully prepared address, although his references to Norris were extempo raneous. In the body of his speech he made an important commitment as the minority leader in the senate, declaring the democratic party to be unalterably opposed by tradition and principle to "government ownership of the railroads and all the so-called public utilities." Followed Norris Attack Robinson's address followed an at tack on the democrats by Norris. who taunted the democrats with fa voring government operation of wa ter power in its campaign in the west in order to "get votes." and es pousing the Underwood bill, with its private operation provisions, in the senate. " Norris read into the record a pamphlet circulated in Nebraska and other western states in the 1924 campaign which he asserted com mitted the party to the general terms of his bill. "Yesterday." Norris said, referring to the fact that eighteen out of thirty-eight senators recorded had joined the republicans in support of the Un derwood bill, "the democratic party in the senate, led by their recognized leader, Senator Robinson, was in bed on the republican side of the cham ber with the very men their party condemned in the progressive west during the recent campaign." This remark brought Robinson to his feet. Both Norris and Howell listened in silence while Robinson took the senior Nebraska senator "over the hurdles." Norris had for the last month, Robinson said, directed 'his extra ordinary powers of irony, sarcasm and criticism to convince the senate and the country that the power trust is behind the Underwood bill." "In my opinion." Robinson contin ued, "the able senator from Nebras ka has not produced evidence to es tablish his conclusion. Rises to Coolidje's Defense "The senator from Nebraska has read into the record a campaign cir cular purporting to have been issued by the democratic national commit tee during the last campaign, assail ing the president and others on a charge of seeking to serve the power trust. I am not a republican. I am a democrat. But democrat as I am. I do not believe that the president of the United States deserves to be charged as the alleged republican senator from Nebraska charges him and. democrat as I am, I do defend Calvin Coolidge. the republican pres ident of the United States, against the charge of a republican senator that the president is a crook. "If to be a democrat means that I must give myself and my feeble power to an unjust assault on the character of any political adversary, then I am not a democrat, but thank God. I do not have to take mv defini tion of democracy from "Grumbling George." Omaha World-Herald BOOM H. G. TAYLOR FOR U, G. PLACE Chamber of Commerce and Governor lake Lead. Dawes Promises Fav orable Opinion If Asked. II. G. Taylor is being boomed for the position on the interstate com merce commission left vacant Jan uary 3 by the resirnat?r.n rr r. missioner Potter. The chnmbo r commerce has written and Governor -vicftiuiien cas telegraphed President Coolidge in Mr. Tavlor's hbaif General Dawes has promised his lavoraDie opinion ir he is consulted, tho he does not take the initiative ir.' such matters. The governor says of -mi. lajior in nis telegram: "Mr. Tavlor is thnrniv nnoiifio 1 . - .

His knowledge of in terstate commerce matters and pro cedure, together with his unquestion ed ability and his having been a life long republican, and the fact that Nebraska has never had ative on the commission, prompts me to present Mr. Taylor's name for your consideration." President J. Cass Cornell of the chamber tt commerce of t.? outlines Mr. Taylor's life and pubiic ('vtu la iis letter to the president, indlldlnx; hiw career as a naurcnam. publisher at Almena. Kas., and Cen- tra. ny, iso., ana nis presidency of thestate Drees association Ur nmnta out that in the past two year Mr. Taylor was chairman of a conference committee of fivr commissioners which sat with the interstate com mission In the consideration of ex press rates all over the country. In 1921 he was one of a committee of five representing state commissions, who met with the interstate body to formulate a plan of cooperation be tween the regulatory bodies of the two jurisdictions. During his term as president of the National Associa tion of Railroads and Utilities Com missioners in 1924, he conducted a national conference in the further protection of railroad grade crossings. RAILROAD LOAN RATES MAY DROP Coolidge Believes Eecluction Interest on Sums Loaned to Eoads Is Feasible. of Washington, Jan. 9. A substan tial reduction in interest rates on sums loaned to railroads by the gov ernment is expected to lie inaugur ated at once, following an official statement at the Whilte House today that President Coolidce believes such reduction entirely feasible. The rate on rail bonds held by the government generally is 6 per cent. Representations have been made that this is so high in some cases as to threaten the line with financial breakdowns. Officials of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul declared their properties will be forced into the hands of a receiver unless there is a decrease in interest figures. The president holds that the rate could be lowered to 5 per cent and that 44 might be permissible. Four and a half, he thinks, is approaching the danger line. The government at present is borrowing money at 4 per cent. In general. Coolidge's position is that the rates should be kept as low as good finance would dictate. It was pointed out for him today that the interest rate, in the last analysis constitutes a charge on the public and that reduced interest rates would mean reduced freight rates. The interest rates on rail deben tures should be uniform. Coolidge further believes. Some trouble may be encountered in case reductions are ordered, he thinks, in regard to those rail bonds which have been sold in the open market by the government and bear 6 per cent. GKEB WINS EASILY OVER BOBBY SAGE Detroit. Jan. 9. Harry Greb of Pittsburg, middleweight champion, outpointed Bobby Sage of Detroit, in a ten round bout here tonight.

Greb weigh ed in at 166 pounds and Sage at 158. ANOTHER BENCH VACANCY Washington, Jan. 9.

This room in the basement of the church will be utilized a great deal for meetings of the various organi zations and with the church auditor ium serve as a center of the activi ties of the church. The Men's club will find in Fath er Pierce a most enthusiastic backer and his work in the line of men's organizations gives him a real lead ership in developing this much need ed part of the church and commun ity. The meetings as planned on the first outline are to be real commun ity gatherings of the men, worth while talks by persons of force and ability and the strengthening of the ties between the men of the church and the members of the community at large. When the club is organized there will be a place for all the men of the city in its ranks and it will give last ing benefit to Plattsmouth through the good that it accomplishes. HAS A MAGIC RING TO MARK BALLOTS Youth of 26 at New York Claims the Ability to Count Out or Elect Any Candidate Running. New York, Jan. 9. A "magic ring," which, when properly manip ulated, is said by its inventor to have elected or defeated congres sional or lesser candidates, was shown and explained to a New York i grand Jury today. It youthful own er, George Rosken, asserted that the magic band not only brought about the election of Nathan D. Penman, republican, to congress and illegally defeated his democratic opponent, Dr. William L. Sirovich, but that one like it was the prize which went with every diploma issued by him to graduates of his "school for ballot fixers." The ring, he said, held a cleverly concealed bit of lead with which any person, with adequate in struction and practice, could mark ballots under the very eyes of poll watchers without fear ot detection.
