hours earlier In the garage of the

daughter's debut. This story told
how the limousines of rich guests
were rolled Into the plice. where
starving men bad just been fed. The
Story didn't rest well at ino white
house when it described how Secre
tary Hurley had been among the cele
brants. Senator Warns Country.
Norris declared the party proved
how some men had so much money
.they didn't
know what to do with
it. He also warned the country that
parties similar to Doherty's were cur
rent among the nobility tn France
ijust prior to the French revolution.
When Nerrhi statements were re
ferred to Doherty, the multimillion
aire head ot the Cities Service Co..
declared the Nebraskan was just
"seeking publicity." He declined to
enter into a dispute with Norris as
to the "cost of the party" or its pro
priety. "I don't see how Doherty could
have the heart to scatter "its money
so wastefuily while men without
were starving and jobless and with
out prospect of getting a Job."' said
Norris. "This is a good illustration

prosperity.

j "When we observe affairs like this
.one. it is time for thinking men to
consider what is wrong with our
prosperity, it illustrates the in
equality in prosperity and wealth.
I SOme men make so much money,
like Doherty, they don't know what
to do with it. Others have none at
all.

Doherty came out of it rich enough
to throw his money on a party like
this one.
"I have nothing against him, but
his 20-year-cld daughter could have
had just as good a time on one-one-hundredth
of the money he spent.
Just prior to the French revolution,
affairs like this were the custom in
France. The French nobility couldn't
see the storm ahead. People like Do
herty exhibit the same blindness as
the French did.
Anticipates No Revolt.
"I don't anticipate such an even-
i;
aality in this country as the bloody
French revolution, in which execu
tioners were the next nay executed
and blood filled the gutters. But it
does seem that something akin to
I it is almost here now. Affairs lik-
this
me by Doherty don't help our
conditions at all."
"I would prefer not

News Service tonight
to dignify the
to his state
International "He is ob-
viously trying to say something sen-
sational in order to get his name on

old and have been dealing with that

I cannot take him seriously.
'Of course, if I really said what

The Doherty party was the most
ornate and pretentious social affair
given in Washington in recent, mem-
jory. The magnate hired tlie whole
