He made bond of $1,000 on each of the two charges One indictment charges the publish er, who at one time owned a string of north Mississippi weeklies, with embezzling $20,000, and the second indictment charges him with em bezzling $9,000 both from the state of Mississippi.

ENTEY TO UTILITIES FIELD New York Acquisition by the United corporation of 25 percent of the stock of the Columbia Gas and Electric company was seen Friday in financial circles as the most im portant extension thus far this year of the influence of the house of Mor gan in the public utility field. The Columbia company, valued at $249, 150,250, operates in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana. Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia. It is one of the largest natural gas units in the United States, and the ex change of stock by which the Mor-gan-Bonbright interests have taken over a quarter interest increases the holdings of the United corporation to $796,619,785. The United corporation has im portant holdings in the United Gas Improvement company of Philadel phia, the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey, the Consolidated Gas Corporation of New York and the Niagara-Hudson Power corporation.

Mrs. Wickham left her entire $400,000 estate to the Watch Tower Bible and Tract society of Brooklyn, N. Y., with instructions that the money be used to "proclaim the mes sage of our Lord's kingdom." No mention was made of the elderly couple who cared for the aged re cluse during the past 20 years. SINGERS OF BERLIN TO PRESENT OPERAS IN TALKING FILMS Berlin Opera talking films, made by the artists and orchestra of the Berlin State Opera, under the direc tion or such ramous German con ductors as Wilhelm Furtwangler and Bruno Walter, and talking films of musical comedies, possibly also drama, made under the direction of Max Reinhardt, may now be pro duced in Germany. Dr. Reinhardt has with Curtis Mellnita, connected with the German barnch of the United Artists, pur chased a majority of shares in the Terra Film Company, and Herr Tiet ien, "Generalintendant" of the Ber lin State Opera, has joined them, it is announced. Production of complete opera talk ing films by one of the best operas in the world and production of taTk ing films by one of the most famous theater managers are looked forward to here with the utmost interest. The highest expectation is attack ed to these films as far as art is con cerned. Eric Charrell, famous for his stage settings, and Fritz Kortner, one of Germany's greatest actors, will help in producing the films, it is said. OMAHA MAN APPEALS 25-YEAR SENTENCE Lincoln. May 14.

Hollywood Holds Mirror Up to Own Life in Show Girl Music and Technicolor Add to Charm of Splendid Comedy Drama With Jack Mulhall. -Hollywood with all its foibles, heart-breaks, tinsel and comedy is pictured by those who live there in "Show Girl in Hollywood," a highly amusing and often thrilling comedy drama of Filmdom's capital. This First National picture, handsomely embellished with humor and with certain scenes in Technicolor, opens Sunday at the Parmele theatre. In this picture Hollywood pokes fun at itself, raises hearty laugh at its own expense, and opens the studio gates for a long peep at how movies are made. One of the most interest ing parts shows the actual filming of a picture in Technicolor. The story continues the merry es capades of Dixie Dugan which began in "Show Girl," released some time aeo. Alice White is again Dixie, al though the locale is now transferred from Broadway to Hollywood. Brought to California by Director Buelow, who promises her a contract, Dixie suddenly finds herself out of a job and broke when Buelow is fired. Then begins her struggle to win suc cess on her own, which culminates in the production of "The Rainbow Girl." Miss White, the super-heated flap per of other screen productions, does her finest work to date as Dixie. The little blonde star shows herself to be a rear actress, and she has a good singing voice. She is perfectly cast as .Dixie ana as a maner oi iaci, J. P. McEvoy, the author, selected her for the role. Jack Mulhall is also excellent as a Broadway playwright who crashes Hollywood with Dixie. Blanch Sweet has a highly dra matic part. She appears as JJonny Harris, an ex-star who tries to re lieve her past triumphs and hasn't even the money to buy tries for her fashionable car. Miss Sweet's role should be one of the best remembered events of screen history. Ford Sterl ing, John Miljan, Virginia Sale, Lee Shumway, and Henrman Bing com plete the list of principals, although the cast is a lengthy one. DIRIGIBLE MAY CROSS SEA Liverpool A statement that the British dirigible R-100 would start for Can a la in a few days and remain there two weeks before returning to Cardington was made Friday by Flight Commander Atherstone, first officer of the airship, who left for Montreal with an advance party of twelve. "The Graf Zeppelin has crossed the Atlantic all right," declared Atherstone, "and there is no rea son why the R-100 should not do it. The R-100 is two and one half times larger than the R-34, which was the first airship to fly the At lantic westwards. The route will be by way of Cape Farewell, Greenland, and the trip is expected to take three days. "The actual day of leaving Card ington depends on weather condi tions." MEDICAL ASSOCIATION SUED Marshalltown, Ia. Sheriff Nesper of Muscatine Friday served notices on Dr. John H. Peck, retiring presi dent of the Iowa Medical society, and Dr. William A. Rohlf, incoming pres ident, that Norman Baker, proprietor of a Muscatine cancer hospital, is suing the American Medical associa tion for $500,000 damages for al leged libelous statements. The ori ginal notices were served on the Iowa medical officers as a compon ent part of the American Medical association, it was said. The suit is to be tried at the November term of court at Muscatine, according to the papers. Baker, who this week prevented the state from obtaining a temporary injunction against himself and four associates without a license, charges that the medical association libeled him in articles in the American Medi cal Journal and Hygeia. FINANCIAL FUTURE BRIGHT Washington Ogden L. Mills, un dersecretary of the treasury, Thurs day night told the American Associa tion of Advertising Agencies that al tho the country is passing thru a periodic business depression, the bas is of real prosperity is available and holds "infinite promise" to the na tion. "At the present time we are un ouestionably passing thru one of those depressions which, in spite of all our advances in business and eco nomic science, seem to recur period ically," Miss said. "We are all the more impressed and depressed be cause the yesterday was so extra ordinarily prosperous and the sharp ness of the contrast is accentuated by the rapidity with which the change came." Mills said the tendency was to look at the matter from a personal standpoint whereas a more detached and a longer view of the situation would give a more correct apprisal of the situation. He added that the net income of individual tax payers increased from $21,0O0,G00,00 in 1922. to nearly $.25.,00p,fl00,000 in 1928- in spite of reductions in. tax rates. In the sama time, he continues, corporation net income had increased from $4,800, 000,000 to about $7,400,000,000, Bay Graduation; Gifts at the- Bates Book Store, where you will find not just a few, But hundreds of suggestions- for useful items.

Asks G. 0. P. to Save U. S. from Bigotry Rule Newspaper Forecasts Revolt 'by Bal lot or Otherwise;; Raps Vzarism in Laws. Seattle, May 15. The Seattle Star, a Scripps-Canfield paper, Wednesday spread the following editorial on the top half of its first page. The editorial is of secial conse quence because of the action of the recent republican convention of Seat tle repudiating the prohibition and world court policies of the national republican administration, and be cause of the state republican conven tion, which is to assemble at Bellfng ham on Saturday May 24. The editorial in the Seattle Star bears the following headline: "Liberty of the people, or death for the G. O. P." Text Is Given. The text or the editorial begins: Give America back to Its people. We mean this. In the past dozen years meddlers and busybodies have imposed on us outrageous interferences with our private lives. They have attempted to force these un-American regula tions by Cossack methods borrowed from czarist Russia; by imperialis tic tyranny copied from prewar Prus sia. They have found state legisla tures to bow to their will. They hiive demanded the imposition of their ideas and steadfastly fought any attempt as a whole to express an opinion. As a result government today is chaotic, oppressive, intolerant. It is leading the people rapidly toward revolution. Probably peaceful, by ballot. Perhaps otherwise. Intoler ance in government that began dur ing the war hysteria, festered and flourished after the peace pact when it should have been stamped out. Prisons Jammed. Today our statute books are filled with sumptuary, regulatory laws. Prisons are jammed. Millions of our workers are jobless. Our people are tax-ridden and despondent every where. One man in every 11 wears a badge and i3 fed by huge tax levies to snoop and pry into the private af-1 fairs of the rest of us. It's time we turned this nation back to the people. Bigger than the prohibition question, bigger than any issue before the American people to day is the matter of bigotry in gov ernment. Republicans must take the lead. It is primarily their responsibility. They should start it .Saturday in the state convention at Bellingham. i Unless the party voluntarily leads a return to American ideals, enforced by American methods, the people them selves will force it, by a ballot- revo lution if necessary. Omaha Bee- News. TOWN AND RURAL CONTEST Philadelphia Mrs. Henry Ford, for the last two years president of the Women s National Farm and Garden association, presided Thurs day at the opening of the associa tion's three day convention. She urged better understanding and closer contact between the women of town and country. "Two years ago," said Mrs. Ford, "they wanted a middle western wom an to head the organization, so, since I am a life member, they asked me to take the Job. "Women of town and country have little chance to know each otherf" she added, "yet they have much to learn by contact."

Change in Bank Laws Claimed Unjustifiable Economist Opposes Plan in Talk Before North Carolina Group Pinehurst, N. C. Changes in the laws governing the banking system of the United States as radical as those discussed before the Commit tee on Banking and Currency of the House of Representatives, are far from justifiable, Benjamin M. An derson, economist of the Chase Na tional Bank of New York, declared before a meeting of the North Caro lina Bankers Association at Pine hurst on May 7. Dr. Anderson characterized these changes, which would enable nation al banks to extend branches through out "trade areas" which overlap state lines and even overlap Federal Reserve Districts in cases where a city's "trade area" runs beyond a Federal Reserve district, as "a legis lative revolution in our banking sys tem." The primary purpose of the legis lation under discussion is to check failures among small banks, and the need of some such check becomes evi dent when it is seen that during the last nine 5-ears about 500 banks have failed, nearly all of them in agri cultural, the total being $1,500,000, 000, an average per bank of $300, 000. Another purpose of the proposed changes in the banking laws, as Dr. Anderson views them, is that of giv ing the national banks a distinct ad vantage over state banks. On this phase of the matter he stated: "With much sympathy for the man purpose lying behind these pro posals made by able men who un doubtedly have the good of the coun try bank at heart and who undoubt edly have a great deal of knowledge of country bank conditions, I am none the less obliged to disagree both as to their diagnosis and as to their prescription. The causes of the feal ures of small country banks are to be found in special circumstances which have little to do with the general question of chain, group and branch banking versus unit banking and the remedy proposed would touch and help very few of the exist ing country banks which are in weakened condition. Dr. Anderson also pointed out that national banks, under this plan would be empowered to overlap state lines whether the states consent or not. "National banks located in one state could nivade another state whose laws prohibit branches of banks chartered elsewhere," he said An overwhelming number of the banks in the United States are out side of chain-bank, group-bank or branch-bank systems, Dr. Anderson pointed out. "The existing chain and group- bank movement is primarily a move ment bringing relatively large banks together," Dr. Anderson continued. "In exceDtional cases, it is includ ing some of the small banks which the legislative proposals are designed to help. Even in these cases, it is not taking in those that are weak and failing. I should not know how tn draw a constitutional legislative proposal which would compel good bankers to absorb weak and failing banks!" PREPARING TO MOVE CROPS Chicago Plans for adequate serv ice in handling the seasonal move mpnt of crons. due in a month, were discussed Thursday at the regular spring meeting of the car service division of the American Railway as sociation. Work of concentrating box cars suitable for the shipment of grain will be started at strategic points, M. J. Gormley, chairman of 1,0 TYirPt1nr. said. He foresees an adequate supply of cars, unless rail roads meet with delay on account of sloy loading or unloading. The report to the meeting saia n was not possible at this time to antici pate the amount of wheat the rail roads will move, but the carriers were looking for aa "average wheat movement."

Foreign Trade Drop Indicates Tariff Protest Shrinkage Is Reported, Showing the Effect of Proposed Rate Increase Washington With the issue of boosting American tariff levels still undetermined, evidence is piling -up in other Quarters showing all too plainly that this country's foreign customers are determined not to sit idly by in the matter. In other words, both at home and aborad there is striking evidence of the widespread hostility that the Re publican high-tariff measure has evoked. In foreign lands, impost rate3 have been catapulated skyward over night, in obvious, if unspoken, re taliation, while at home government bureaus' figures show a startling shrinkage of American exports and imports. The Department of Commerce in its May number of Commerce Re ports, made public May 11, discloses that for the first quarter of this year American export trade dropped off more than 1290,000,000, or about 20 per cent for this period, while the drop for the month of March was slightly more than $120,000,000, a decrease of approximately 25 per cent. Canada's Schedule Hits Trade Concurrent with this profoundly significant information, the Depart ment of Commerce, in another re port, an expert analysis of the effect of the purposed Canadian tariff re vision on American trade, showed that the Canadian revision will ad versely effect between $175,000,000 and $223,000,000 of the annual trade that this country does with the Do minion, its largest foreign customer. In fact, f.o serious does the depart ment regard the effect of the new Canadian tariff policy that it urges American business men to begin im mediately as an offset to "lay greater stress on service and quality." The department does not officially label the Canadian tariff charges as reprisals, but officials here say pri vately that the proposed American tariff bill alone is the reason for the skyrocketing of Canadian duties. The report significantly points out that the new Canadian rates are the most radical and sudden since 1907. It is further pointed out by Gov ernment trade experts here that a little more than a month ago Aus tralia also adopted enormously in creased tariff schedules which hit this country harder than any otl; because it has been selling more tc Australia than any other. Of particular interest in the report of a deep shrinkage in exports, is the fact , that this loss would have been greater were it not for the fact that Soviet Russia, which the United ?tntn nnvprnmpnt nffirinllv does not recognize, bought three and a half times as much in the quarterly per- iod this year as it did in 1929. Exports to Mexico Increase The only other increases in ex ports for the period were to Mexico, where American goods valued at $32,S30,S11 were sent, as compared with exports valued at $29,373,750 in ine nrst quarter ibsm jear, aim iu . . j beui euuu aluCu dL .- y", year as compared with $S.991,424 x i 1 .1 9 Ck A 4 K O 4 V. 5 a last jear.
