HIRAM JOHNSON MISSES NORRIS LIBERAL CAUCUS One-Man Bloc’ Prefers to Continue Lone Hand in Senate. By Bcripps-H award Xewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 13. Among those missing at the twoday progressive conference ended here Thursday, was Senator Hiram Johnson of California. Cradled in Roosevelt progressivism since 1909 and never anything hut a rebel Republican, Senator Johnson was invited as one of the score or so of senators entitled to sit in the counsel to frame liberal laws for the seventy-second congress. Except to those who have seen a change come over liberalism, his absence came as a surprise and i disappointment. Is C'onfiremd Rebel rhose in closer touch with his career are not surprised. For these realize that as Johnson had grown older he has pulled more and more out of group action and more and more has played the lone hand. While voting generally with La Follette, Norris and the rest he has less often gone into huddles with the liberal group. He has come to prefer being called “a one man bloc.” No man except Norris himself has a longer record for nonconformist! politics than Johnson. He was elected Governor of California in j 1909 as a Bull Mooser. In 1912 he headed the Roosevelt delegation from California and was nominated a vice-presidential standard bearer with Roosevelt in the insurgent movement that elected Woodrow Wilson. Oposed Hoover Frequently In 1916 he came to the senate as a registered progressive. In spite of his famous “truce” with Hoover three years ago he was lined up with the opposition against the administration in practically every major test. In the senate most of his personal friends are progressives. In -the short session just ended he supported the Norris Muscle Shoals and lame duck measures, Wagner unemployment relief bills, fought President Hoover on drought relief, veterans’ loans and power commission appointees. He broke away from many of this group, however in supporting California tariff sched- j ules, immigration restriction and op- ! posing the world court. Incidental- ! ly, there is little love lost between | the two westerners, Borah and John-' son. SNOOPERS NOT NEW Colony Charter of 1692 Gives Half of Fine to Informer.

CASTLE JF GLASS Steel Only Other Material on Exterior of Building. By United Press WORCESTER, Mass., March 13.—A castle of steel and glass now brightens this city’s industrial picture It is reputedly the only big building in the world in which every exterior line and surface is of glass or steel. The first two floors are occupied as the offices of the Worcester Pressed Steel Company.

Higgins of the Worcester Pressed Steel Company has spent something like $1,000,000 in assembling the collection. FIND ANCIENT FIGURES ON WESTMINSTER ABBEY Workmen Uncover Two Statues Carved in Thirteenth Century. By United Press LONDON, March 13.—Workmen scrambling over the sides and top of Westminster Abbey in giving that gigantic edifice its first scrubbing in centuries, discovered two marble figures of angels carved in the Thirteenth century. The two pieces, exquisitely enameled in color even to the rosy complexions, were found on the comers of the window of the south transept, buried beneath nearly an inch of grime. More remarkable discoveries are expected by those directing the work, who maintain the task will require at least five years.

COLLEGE MEN EXCEED CO-EDS ON MOVIE LOTS Francis Dee Is One of Few University Women in Talking Pictures. By United Press HOLLYWOOD, March 13.—'While the majority of motion picture players who boast college educations are men, the women often break into collegiate publications, too, under the heading: “Former student makes good in movies I” For instance, there are Frances Dee and June Mac Cloy, on the Paramount lot. Miss Dee, who appeared with Charles Rogers in “Along Came Youth,” attended the University of Chicago. Miss Dee quit college to become an extra girl and quickly rose to leading roles. Miss Mac Cloy dropped her studies for a chance to work in George White’s Scandals. Her subsequent musical comedy, radio and night club work Drought her into pictures. An explanation of the preponderance of ex-collegiate men actors over former co-eds is made by B. P. Schullberg, Paramount executive. He points out hat leading men must be more mature than leading women, hence a girl must start film work during natural college years, while men can wait until after their education is fimsheu. At the same studio where the i two girls mentioned are working ! are no less than thirteen male con-
