LABOR FIGHTER TO HELP GUIDE REVIVAL SETUP Richberg Has Been Back of Progressive Cause for 20 Years. BY HERBERT LITTLE, Time* StafT Writer WASHINGTON, June 2.—Another musician, this one however, a lawyer who has fought for progressive and liberal principles for more than twenty years, has been selected to h lp guide the Roosevelt administration’s new co-operative revision of the American business structure. He is Donald Randall Richberg, veteran of the Bull Moose and La Follette campaigns, lawyer for the railroad brotherhoods, novelist and c.,-author of the railway labor act and the new national recovery act which he is to administer with General Hugh Johnson. Here this spring to oppose tne j original version of the administra- j tion's railroad bill on behalf of the brotherhoods, Richberg was drafted ■ by President Roosevelt to aid in! drafting the national recovery act. The public works section now virtually is the same as the public works w'ill he drafted for Senators Edward R. Costigan and Robert La Follette. Extensive Legal Knowledge His legal knowledge and advice is the bulwark of the bill’s chances when and if the supreme court considers its constitutionality. But this work did not stop his B(tack on the Roosevelt railroad bill. He appeared before one committee of congress to defend the recovery act—here again he was the only lawyer called—and the same j day he denounced the railroad bill before another committee. Now Richberg, forceful but friendly—the President calls him "Donald” —has been chosen to work with his antithesis, General Johnson, a hard-bitten army man, an executive with long experience in the army, later on the war industries board and still later, with the Moline Plow Company. Fought High Utility Rates It appears not to have been decided whether Richberg will counsel for the new government business administration ,or co-administrator. In either case, these two men will pass on the legality and the public interest of all business agreements, th: wages, hours and working conditions of most of the workers of j the country, and decide upon the j disposal of what is probably the | world’s largest public works program. For two years they probably will wield as much power as the House of Morgan has for the last twenty, j Richberg originated the law-1 drafting bureau for the 1912 Pro-; gressives. Ha fought high utility rates In the home city, Chicago, over long j years, and won. He fought hardest against the notorious Wilkerson-Daugherty injunctions in the 1922 shopmen’s ! strike. Drafts Yellow Dog Law In addition to the railway labor act, he drafted the Norris anti-yel-low dog contract and Injunction act! recently made law\ He made a remarkable argument ' In the billion-dollar O’Fallon rail- ! road valuation case on, of all \ things, the social aspects. He lost, but the brief’s predictions read like a prophecy of what has happened since 1929.

POINT IS GAINED BY CITY IN SUIT j ON WATER RATE Testimony at Hearing Is to Be Sponsored by Attorney-General. City attorneys today gained a new foothold in the Indianapolis Water Company's rate case in federal court, following agreement be- , tween them and rerpesentatives of the attorney-general. Under the agreement, testimony of the city’s witnesses will be sponsored by the attorney-general, but will not be binding on the public service commission when the city's , circuit court suit for lower rates is i tried. Amicable settlement of the three- ! way dispute, which for a time | threatened to bar the city attorneys and witnesses from participa- | tion in the hearing, was followed ; by resumption of testimony by city witnesses. Tells of Inundation Henry B. Steeg, city plan commission secretary-engineer, testified as to inundation of various parcels ot water company land, valued bycompany witnesses as high as $2,000 an acre, during the May flood, and of deterioration of certain of the company’s structures. He was followed by Frank E. Gates, first of a dozen Indianapolis Real Estate Board appraisal com- ! mittee members. They are expected to testify that the water company's lands are valued at no more than $1,427,000, less than half the figure given by George T. Whelden, realtor. Tangle Over Suit Dispute over the city's standing in the case arose late Thursday, when water company attorneys objected to testimony of Steeg, contending that since the city had not entered an appearance, it legally could not introduce testimony. Edward H. Knight, city corporation counsel, explained that, to enter an appearance, the city would have : to dismiss its circuit court suit. George W. Hufsmith, deputy at-torney-general, at first refused to sponsor all the city’s testimony, saying that his only duty was to sup- . port the public service commission j rate order. The company is seeking to set this j aside. Hufsmith said he could not |be bound by the city’s testimony, I because of the necessity later of deI fending the order in the city’s ciricuit court suit.

Maniac on Bicycle Is Campus Murder Suspect

New Clews Are Revealed in Murder of Attractive Y. W. C. A. Secretary. BY DAN BOWERMAN United Pres* Staff Correspondent STANFORD UNIVERSITY. PALO ALTO, Cal., June 2.—Reports of a I "shabby stranger,’’ of a maniac on a bicycle, and of a jilted and jobless fiance were added today to the jumble of rumor and fact from which authorities are trying to reconstruct the true story of Mrs. Allene Lamson's mysterious and violent death. Santa Clara county sheriff’s officers heid to their theory that the attractive and intellectual campus Y. W. C. A. secretary, mother of a 13-month-old child, was beaten to death and placed, nude, in her bathtub. Check ‘Mysterious Stranger’ They held the victim's husband, David, a minor Stanford official, unofficial prisoner in the county jail for the third successive night. There were no charges against Lamson. Stanford University—the school of which Herbert Hoover is a trustee—entered the investigation. Student engineers, who said they were ordered to the task by the university, set up surveying instruments and ran transits of the vine-covered stucco home in which the tragedy took place, Almon E. Roth, university controller, visited Lamson in his cell. Campus police, separate from the Palo Alto city force, were making a third inquiry Not Killed by Fall. The campus force was checking the “shabby stranger” theory. They found a student who saw a mysterious loiterer near the Lamson home. Another person told them he saw a tall man, apparently demented, on a bicycle. The man

The photo shows the body in a reclining position, with the head and arms hanging over the rim of the tub near the faucets.

By United Press PHILADELPHIA, June 2. The cherry tree episode in the life of George Washington and the rescue of John Smith by Pocahontas are two "ornamental lies which have become woven into the fabric of our history,” according to Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbacn. "Lying is an immortal achievement.” he told the Pennsylvania Library Association. "Great liars can be numbered on the fingers of one hand and there is not a woman among them. The lies of Rabelais, essentially a truthful man, will live as long as literature.” Injured in Fall Down Stairs Mrs. Flora Shortridge, 24, of 521 East New York street, was injured today when she fell down the rear stairs at her home.
