COOLIDGE'S LEHER
DEFENDED WARMLY
BY SENATOR LODGE
Floor Leader Points Action
of Other Presidents in
Making Known Views.
Sees Slap.at Mellon
WASHINGTON, April IG.—Reply
ing to critics of President Coolidge
for his letter of protest against the
trend of senate investigations, Sena
te rLodge. of Massachusetts, the Re
publican floor leader, declared today
in the senate that the chief execu
tive had acted entirely within his
rights.
“This message,” said Senator
Lodge, “related directly to the con
duct of public business, with which
the president is charged as chief ex
ecutive.”
Calling attention to that section
of the message stating that the in
ternal revenue bureau investigating
committee was seeking information
which would not be helpful in fram
ing legislation. Senator Lodge point
ed out that there were laws making
individual tax returns, including
those of Secretary Mellon inviolate.
“There can be ho question in any
body’s mind,” the majority leader
said, “that the purpose could not be
otherwise than to seek something
in relation to the ’character of the
secretary of the treasury himself.”
Answers Senator Glass
Senator Lodge said he regretted
to take up the time of the senate be
cause of the important legislation
pending, but could not allow to pass
without reply an address of “such
importance” as that delivered yester
day by Senator Glass. Democrat,
Virginia.
“I do not think there is any
ground for finding fault with the
president on communicating his
views on matters like this,” he con
tinued. “History shows that the
presidents never have hesitated to
communicate with congress to give
their views on many questions, espe
cially those affecting the administra
tion of the government.”
“The presidents have exercised
wide discretion, in the subjects puon
wide discretion in the subjects upon
the senate. President Wilson ad
dressed the senate on constitutional
amendments with the enactment of
which, under the constitution, he
had no part. I do not find fault
with that; he had a perfect right
to do so.”
Advertising to the revenue bureau
investigating committee, Senator
Lodge declared that committee
“clearly went beyond its authority
in approving the employment of
counsel to be paid by a member.”
“It certainly has not been the
practice since I have been here,” he
said. “I cannot believe it was, oi
ls in the interest of the senate to
authorize such a procedure.”
Defends Strong Language
When President Coolidge referred
to objectional “intrusions” the sen
ator said, he had reference to the
“apparent employment of an out
aider” to dig into official files. The
Republican leader read the message
line by line giving his interpreta
tation as he-proceeded.
“The language is strong,” he
agreed, “but it was necessary. The
senate has extended its functions
and, in newspaper parlance, had
created a new office in the person
of ‘committee prosecutor.’ ”
The internal revenue inquiry
really was intended to “break down”
Secretary Mellon. Senator Lodge
said.
“There is much more in this than
politics,” he declared. “It is aimed
at the secretary of the treasury be
cause he is the author of a great
bill in which the whole country is
interested.”
It was against the unlawful em
ployment of special counsel by an
individual senator for these pur
poses. the senator said, that the
president had protested.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader, remarked
that Senator Watson, Republican, In
diana, had declared the protest was
based upon the belief that “an in
vestigation was intended of prohibi
tion enforcement.”
“I know nothing of that," replied
Senator Lodge.

though the state still lacks nearly
$20,000,000 in supplying its home
market, and that a problem is con
fronting the followers of the cow

A PANORAMA OF SULPHUR SPRINGS- INSET SHOWS EVANGELIST BROWN.
LAWYER ABDUCTED
FROM CAROLINA TO
FACE TRIAL IN OHIO
•
LYNCHBURG, Va., April K—Carl
Wiegand, attorney of Chapel Hill, ;
N. C., asked Judge Frank P. Chris- |
tian in corporation court here today I
for a writ of habeas corpus to es- j
feet his release from the custody of
Otto Kaffits, a Columbus, Ohio, de- ■
tective, who, he alleges, abddeted 1
him yesterday from North Carolina, j
Judge Christian will hear argu j
ment of the petition at 10 o'clock to- j
morrow morning. Meantime, Wie- !
gand will be held in jail here, where, I
he charges, he was brought last :
night after being forced into a small I
automobile at Chapel Hill, driven ■
about a mile out of town, then trans- ;
ferred to a larger machine, which
carried him across the Virginia- ;
North Carolina border and finally i
put aboard a train for this city. He
is wanted in Columbus, Ohio, on a
charge of non-support of his wife
and child.
Wiegand was arrested at Chapel 1
Hill several days ago and at the re- I
quest of the Ohio authorities Gover- I
nor Morrison issued requisition pa-.I
pers for him to be taken to Colum- ■
bus. Yesterday, however, the North !
Carolina executive recalled these pa- I
pers and the attorney avers that be- j
fore the officials at Chapel Hill i
could be formally notified of the gov- !
ernor’s action, he was abducted.
Wiegand went with Kaffits to con
fer with Mayor Robertson, of Chapel
Hill, and it was when his attorney, R.
O. Evrett, entered to announce that
the state executive department had
assured him over the telephone that
extradition proceedings would be ■
suspended until the return to the j
state of Governor Morrison, that '
the detective picked Weigand up
bodily, carried him to a waiting au
tomobile and s'ped out of town ac
companied by the chief of police.
Kaffits’ machine was overtaken at
Durham,' 14 rpiles distant, by
Everett and the mayor, but the offi
cer ignored their command to halt,
they said, and outdistanced them.
Everett was slightly hurt when he
fell to tne ’street in an attempt to
jump to the running board of the
detective’s automobile.
Less than five minutes after the '
departure, a telegram from the ex
ecutive office formally canceling the
papers reached Chapel Hill.
POLICE CHIEF SUSPENDED

CHAPEL HILL. N. C„ April 16.
George T. Featherstone, chief of po
lice of Chapel Hill, was suspended

Continued Rains Delay
Barrow County Farmers
WINDER, April 17. —On account,
of continued rains farmers in this
section have been delayed in opera-'
tions, very little spring plowing and I
virtually no other farm work hav- •
1 ing been done. About three days’
plowing is all that has been done 1

Dancing, Card-Playing and
Liquor-Drinking Banned
Year-Round —No Students
Accepted Who Can Pay Fee
SULPHUR SPRINGS, Ark., April
17. —A university in winter —
A health resort in summer —•
“Jazzless” the whole year ’round.
That’s the future John E. Brown,
evangelist and college president, has
mapped out for this Ozark mountain
town. '
And since he’s bought up three
fourths of it, Brown certainly is in
a ■ position to dictate hdw things
ought to be run in Sulphur Springs.
?n the deal, Brown acquired three
hotels, parks, lakes and springs,
business property and residence
sites.
Brown, founder and head of John
E, Brown college at Siloam Springs,
near here, will move the university
here.
The hotels will provide dormitory
and class room facilities. In sum
mer, they will house tourists.
But summer or winter, jazz will
be taboo. No dancing, no card play
ing, no drinking will be tolerated.
There will be band concerts, golf
ing, tennis, swimming, fishing and
horseback riding.
The school, while interdenomina
tional and non-sectarian, stands un
compromisingly committed to the
Bible. All students are required to
study it.
None will be permitted to matricu-i
late who can afford to pay even a s
part of the tuition costs. It’s en
tirely for poor boys and girls.
All students work a few hours
each day—some in the printshop,
some on the farms, some in the
kitchen, some m the tailor shops.
The university fulfills an ambition
of Brown’s early manhood—to give
deserving boys and girl.y opportunity
to gain the education he, himself,
was denied.
A score of years’ ago Brown work
ed in a limestone quarry at seventy
five cents a day. He professed re
ligion during- a Salvation Army re
. viva I.
When the evangelists left he was
commissioned to open a mission.
Since thj> n he’s conducted meetings
all over this section.
But all the time he’s never lost
sight of his early dreams.

sion on the petition to junk the Pel
ham and Havana railroad, after read
-1 ing the petition to the interstate

roadbed and rolling stock were in
dangerous condition. He also test!-
; tied that the business of the Kelly

load. A. L. Kelly, of that com-
, pany, when called upon the stand.
; stated that in his opinion there w.-is
no money in the territory tn put in
the road and they could get along
without it. Receiver Alvin . Wight

dangerous condition and it would
take from $75,000 to SIOO,OOO to put
it in operating shape, and he did
not think it could be raised in the
territory. /

prospective bidder, stated he had r—
centlv been over the road and Rind
it in bad condition, the rolling stock

resenting the Cairo Retail Men
chants’ association, stated that it
was the desire of the business intet
-1 ests of Cairo to be given a chance
1 to buy the road should it be offered
■ for sale, and means would be pro
vided. he thought, to take care o'
it when the time arrived.
A. S. Wells, pf the Florida rail
road commission, stated that erflv
four miles of the mad was located
in Florida, and whatever the Geor
gia commission did would be acqui
esced in by the Florida commission.

BARIS, April 16. —(By the Asso

reply to the reparation commission's
invitation for German representa
tives to be heard on the expert .com
mittee's report was handed to the
commission at 6:05 o’clock this eve

The German reply is an uncondi

as a basis for negotiations looking
to a final settlement of the repara

The French people are beginning
to figure what this country may ex

care is taking up these figures and
dwelling upon what is called “anoth
er amputation of France’s claims.”
France, under the London sched
ule of payments, would receive 26,-
000,000,900 gold marks on the first
two series of bonds, with a contin
gent interest in the balance of 80,-
900,000,000 marks. Premier Poincare
in a campaign speech Tuesday night
said the experts had estimated Ger
many's capacity to pay for only a
few years to come, and had not di
minished the amount she would be
required to pay eventually.

SATURDAY. APRIL 19, 1924 w
FORD 810 ATTACKED
AT PUBLIC OPENING
OF SHOALS HEARING
WASHINGTON, April 16.—At the
opening today of public hearings by
the senate agriculture committee on
Muscle Shoals, Representative Bur
ton, Republican, Ohio, issued a state
ment opposing the Ford bid.
Describing the Ford proposal as an
“unprecedented monopoly,” Mr. Bur
ton declared he h-ad never heard of
a “proposition in which a privilege
was granted to an individual or cor
poration which was so free from, re
striction, so broad and comprehen
sive. so strong in the interest of the
grantee as this Ford proposal.”
The Hooker-White-Atterbury pro
posal, included in the Wadsworth
bill, was the first bid called for con
sideration.
The Hooker bid provides for lease
of the Muscle Shoals properties for
fifty years by the government on a
profit sharing basis with the “United
States Muscle Shoals Power and Ni
trate corporation” which would be
organized with a capital stock of not
less than $1,000,000,000.
E. H. Hooker, president of the
Hooker Electro Chemical company,
New York city, one of three partners
of the proposed corporation, was the
first called to testify.
Hooker said he had been interest
ed in water power development in
Niagara Falls for some years but
that neither he nor his two partners
were interested in any other corpo
ration or power company. They are
dealing with the proposal alone, he
I said.
Hooker said the corporation would
have a $1,090,000 preferred stock
and $10,000,000 common stock. His
present corporation is now produc
ing caustic soda and ammonia at
Niagara Falls. He said he believes
that his corporation is the largest
electro chemical plant in the world.
Mr. Hooker said other bidders
“are asking Uncle Salm to put up
' ninety-six and ninety-seven per cent
■ of the money needed and the com
pany two or three per cent, with
the company getting the bulk of the
profits.” He added his proposition
i calls for the government to put up
: ninety-nine per cent of the capital
and get the bulk of the profit.
Hooker said under no circum
stances cpuld the building of the
Wilson dam be justified as a busi
ness proposition as it was a failure
from a. waterpower standpoint. Only
, by building dam. No. 3, he said,
could the government justify build
ing the Wilson dam. His bid. Hook
er said, does not call for building
