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.

Tipton, la.. May 15. A further
eccentricity of Mrs. Mary Wickham,
who because of a vow, had remained
in bed for 40 years prior to her
death on April 3 last, was revealed
Thursday when the terms of her will

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

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.

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,

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-

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."
CLAIM EX-KAISER AT ESSEN
Essen The German secret service
Friday night was investigating ru
mors spreading thruout the Rhine
land that ex-Kaiser Wilhelm had
been seen in Essen in company with
a director of the Krupp-Von Bohlen
Halbach combine inspecting a new
steam hammer. The chief of police of
essen requested that the investiga
tion be made after the report had
roused great excitement in political
circles of Duesseldorf and Cologne
as well as at Essen.
Krupp officials emphatically de
nied the truth of the rumor. The
former kaiser lives in exile on his es
tate at Doom, Holland.

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
