NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Democrats # and Radicals of Senate Defeat Hoover on Flexible Tariff. By EDWARD W. PICKARD THIRTEEN Republican senators, nearly all classed as “radicals,” united with the Democrats last week to administer a decisive defeat to -President Hoover in the tariff bill battle. By a vote of 47 to 42 the senate adopted the Simmons amendment to the measure taking away from the President the power to make changes in the duties under the so-called flexible tariff provision which has been in effect for seven years. Mr. Hoover had urged that this feature of the bill be retained, but the majority of the senators decided that it represents a delegation of the taxing power by congress to the executive and might lead to further usurpation of the powers of the legislative branch of the government. Anyhow, that was their story and they stuck to it, although unbiased observers thought their action had more of a political basis. The President’s position in the matter had the approval of nearly all the big farm organizations, but the radical Republicans, most of whom claim to represent agricultural states, disregarded this fact and took advantage of the opportunity to hit Mr. Hoover. The* Democrats are not at all sure of keeping a solid front on the rate schedules, so they made this showing on an 1 administrative feature, only four of their members voting against the Simmons amendment. Under the amendment adopted, the President would be required to transmit promptly tariff commission reports to congress, adding his own recommendation if desired. Sole authority to make changes in duties would be vested in congress. To prevent the opening up of other tariff matters congress would be prevented from considering any amendments to bills embodying tariff commission recommendations which were not germane to the particular item. Senator Johnson said the tariff .would be “infinitely more flexible" under the amendment than under the present law. Os course the house may reject the amendment. ONE hundred and seventy-five convicts in the Colorado state penitentiary at Canon City mutinied, murdered half a dozen guards and barricaded themselves in one of the cell houses, defying the warden's forces and a detachment of National Guardsmen. The convicts had few guns but plenty of ammunition, and before they ■were conquered it was found necessary to use machine guns, dynamite and finally a .75-millimeter field piece from tne rifle range at Golden. During the fierce battle Warden F. E. Crawford himself was badly wounded. The mutineers, who were led by one Danny Daniels, demanded unrestricted freedom, threatening the death of guards they had captured if this were refused. The state forces would not listen to any such proposals. The warden’s men were reinforced not only by the militia but also by police from Denver and other cities and hundreds of armed citizens. , WILLIAM B. SHEARER, the “observer" for American ship building concerns at the Geneva naval conference of 1927, was a voluble and sensational witness before the senate committee that Is investigating propagandist activities, and after hearing him the committee adjourned its sessions until the visit of Prime Minister MacDonald is concluded. This probably was wise, for Shearer had brought into the record and handed to the committee a document which would be internationally startling if it weie genuine. This purports to be a letter addressed to David Lloyd George and was said to be “reeking with hostility to the United States.” Shearer attributed it to Sir William Wiseman, whom He called the chief British spy in the United States during the war and who is now with Kuhn. Loeb & Co of New York. He said it was given him by a Mr. Summers of Los Fear Hawaiian Volcano May Resume Activities Hualalai. the Hawa'lan volcano for which Dr. T. A. Jaggar, noted volcanologist, has predicted possible eruptive activity within a month, is normally one of the quietest of all volcanoes known to be active. In a statement which was issued to Science Service Dr. Harry Washington of the geophysical labratory of the Carnegie institution of Washington, D. G, himself a leading authority on

Angeles, who received it from a Mr. Wheeler, who got it from Ben McLenden, who extracted it from the files of the British consulate in New York during the war; and that he showed it to navy officers and to the then Senator Reed of Missouri, and it played an important part in shaping the naval policy of the senate. Sir William Wiseman denounces the document as a "clumsy, absurd forgery.” W. S. Summers of Los Angeles says he knows Shearer but knows nothing of the letter. L. B. Wheeler, formerly a federal secret service operative, says he never knew Shearer; and A. C. Merrill, a Navy department expert, has given an opinion that the document is spurious. All of which did not seem to abash Shearer. Several well-known newspaper correspondents who were at the Geneva conference and whose names were dragged into his story by Shearer, have declared that gentlemans statements to be lies. BRIG. GEN. F. P. CROZIER of England, right hand man of Lord Robert Cecil in disarmament efforts, sent to Ambassador Dawes a letter stating that in 1927 a man calling himself “Sherman” offered him large sums, of money to cease his advocacy of a reduction of the British army and navy, and that in the newspaper portraits ■of Shearer he recognized likenesses of that man. Shearer denies having approached General Crozier, saying he had not been in England since 1918 and never heard of the general. When the committee resumes its hearings It will call Sir William Wiseman, Former Secretary of State Kellogg and others whose names have come up in the inquiry. Under a resolution introduced by Senator Caraway the senate, through its Judiciary committee, also will start an investigation of all lobbies operating in congress. GERMANY lost Its foremost statesman last week when Dr. Gustav Stresemann, foreign minister, died of a heart attack following a stroke of paralysis. He had been in poor health for months but recently had so far recovered as to be able to take part in the reparations conference at The Hague and the session of the League of Nations assembly in Geneva. Doctor Stresemann. who was born in Berlin in 1878, was president of the German People’s partyjstk member of the reichstag and was several times chancellor of both the empire and the republic. It was he who put into effect the policy of reconciliation with Germany’s former foes and who brought his country into the League of Nations. He was looked upon as the backbone of the present Mueller cabinet and Berlin politicians doubted whether the coalition government could be held together without him. THAT tropical hurricane that swept westward from the West Indies, after killing some twenty persons and doing great damage in the Bahamas, struck Florida with devastating force, tearing its way upward from Key West to Pensacola and then veeringover to the Atlantic coast region and dissipating Itself in furious rain storms. The Floridians, being forewarned, had taken all possible precautions, but the property losses were considerable though the deaths were few. The rains in the Carolinas and Georgia added to the already serious flood situation there, the Savannah and other rivers having risen to stages unequaled in many years. All the way up to New England the storm crippled land and water transportation and wire service. Ramsay macdonald must have been gratified with the reception accorded him by the officials and people of the United States. The prime minister’s ship, the Berengaria, was escorted into New York harbor Friday morning by the cruisers Memphis and Trenton, and at quarantine he and his party were taken in hand by Mayor Walker’s welcoming committee and landed at Battery Point. There they were met by Secretary of State Stimson and British Ambassador Sir Esme Howard and then a procession was formed to the city hall, where Mr. MacDonald was granted the freedom of the city. Soon thereafter the party t6ok train for Washington, where the prime minister and his daughter Ishbel the ways of volcanoes, called attention to the fact that during the known history of the Hawaiian islands Hualalai has had only one lava flow of major proportions, and that was over a century and a quarter ago, in 1801. Then the lava broke forth from a secondary vent on the side of the mountain and flowed in a widening fan-shaped stream to the sea. Hualalai lies at a considerable distance from Kilauea. It is situated in the western part of the island of Hawaii, about. sixty miles from

went first to the British embassy. On Saturday Mr. MacDonald became the guest of President Hoover at the White House and the conversations on Anglo-British relations and naval reduction, the purpose of the visit, began. The social program arranged in the National Capital included functions at which Tshbel was the central figure. While the prime minister was on the high seas. Arthur Henderson, minister for foreign affairs, and V alerian Dovgalevsky, Soviet ambassador to France, got together and signed an agreement for full resumption of diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Russia, including an exchange of'ambassadors, and for the settlementof questions outstanding between the two governments. This agreement is subject to the approval of parliament. Questioning of the members of the federal farm board was continued by the senate committee on agriculture, and the board was subjected to further criticism for not using huge sums of money to force up the prices of this season's wheat crop. Samuel R. McKelvie, of Nebraska, the wheat member of the board, had a sharp clash with Senator Bro >khart on the question of whether or not the board was authorized to fix prices, the lowa solon insisting it was. Mr. McKelvie said that the board members hope that the new grain marketing corporation which is in process of organization at Chicago, will be ready to operate in such a manner as to stabilize wheat prices next year. It was the opinion of the board, he said, that it was not feasible to commence stabilization operations this year. In Chicago William H. Settle, chairman of the organization committee, said the grain marketing corporation would be completed within a week. At the call of the farm board the wool growers of the nation held a meeting in Chicago to discuss plans for a similar central marketing and financing agency for their industry. THE American Legion, in annual session in Louisville, held the greatest parade in its history and then got down to business, adopting a lot of resolutions most of which concerned the care of disabled veterans and like matters. Woodlawn post of Chicago won first place in the drill team competition and Electric post of Milwaukee won the band contest. Boston and Los Angeles sought next year’s convention and it was awarded to the Massachusetts city on the first ballot. O. L. Bodenhamer of El Dorado. Ark., was elected commander unanimously. He was a school teacher who enlisted as a private in 1917 and was discharged two years later as a major Mrs. Donald Macrea of Council Bluffs. lowa, was chosen national president of the American Legion auxiliary. LEADERS in the prohibition cause to the number of a score met in Washington and organized the “cooperative committee for prohibition enforcement” which is intended to coordinate the activities of the country’s numerous dry organizations. The headquarters will be in Washington and the chairman is Patrick H. Callahan of Louisville. The committee proposes to lay a scientific, groundwork for a campaign of education as to the benefits of prohibition. President Hoover appointed John R. McNab of San Francisco as head of a special body which will study and formulate changes in federal administration and judicial machinery. In announcing the appointment the President said the recommendations of this group would be submitted to congress for the more effective enforcement of the laws uhder the Eighteenth amendment. PRITZ VON OPEL of Germany, *• wealthy automobile builder and race driver, made the first flight in a plane propelled by rockets as was the car he recently tried out. He flew for about six miles at terrific speed and then, the rockets being used, came down in a crash that wrecked the plane though be escaped uninjured. Coste and Bellonte, the French pilots who started from Paris eastward on an endurance flight, were believed, toward the end of the week, to haw landed in some remote Siberian forest. (©, 1929.

It is about twice as high as Kilauea, rising to an elevation of some 8,200 feet and bearing several well-marked cones on its summit, as well as a number of craters on Its spoles.

The Self-mastery ot Daniel and His Companions I Dan 1:5-20). These young men were wrenched from their homes and country in the tender years ot youth and carried away its captives to t> strange land. 1. Their trials (vv. 5-7) (1) The test of conscience (v. 5). By the appointment of the king, a portion of rhe king’s meat and wine was provided daily for the captives This being contrary to the Jewish customs, tiie young men could not conscientiously partake of them. Conscience is the groundwork of human character. (2) Changed name (vv. 6. 7). Among the Hebrews, names were given to children which were most significant. Daniel means “God is my judge." The significance of this name was that all rhe problems of life were sunmitted to God for His decision This was the secret of Daniel's successful life. (3) Their religious life (v. 8). This involved their refusal to eat meat and to drink wine. In the ease ot Daniel at least, it also Involved his praying three times a day. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with this food and drink. 2. Their courtesy (vv. 8-13). Daniel seems to have been the spokesman for the company. Although his heart was fixed, he did not forget to be a gentleman. He requested that he be excused from this meat and drink in order not to be defiled. 3. Their triumph (vv. 14-21). (1) Their physical health (vv. 1416). A test was made for ten days which showed that they were fairer in countenance and fatter in flesh than those who indulged in the king’s meat. (2) Their mental growth (vv. 1720). Daniel and tils companions were found to be ten times better than their comrades in wisdom and understanding. (3) Social and political preferment (v. 19>. They stood before the king. (4) Their temporal influence (v. 21). All were advanced to {a>sitions of influence, and Daniel became president of the college of wisemen. and the prime minister ot the nation 11. Paul Advises the Corinthians as to Self-control (1 For. 9:19-27) I’be Corinthians were an intemperate and a dissolute people. No city in the world perhaps exceeded them in vices of all kinds. The surest and most effective way to combat vice is to inculcate virtue. 1. Haul's own life and example (vv. 19-23) Though free from all men. he made himself servant unto all. 2. The Isthmian games (w. 24-27). Paul uses these popular games to illustrate the need of self-control. (1) Life Is a race (vv. 24, 25). in order to win a prize there must be self-denial’ and definite exertion. The Christian obtains life by contact with Jesus Christ through faith (John 3:16; 3:36; 5:24). While he gets salvation (life) at the beginning. God places before him definite rewards as incentives to exertion. The Christian believes for life, hut works for rewards. (2) it is a tight (vv. 26. 27). The Christian’s efforts are not mere beatings of the air. He has a deadly struggle with his carnal nature. 111. Paul’s Advice to Timothy (I Tim. 4:7-12). A minister needs to have control of himself. He is urged to exercise himself unto godliness He needs to train himself for his work as a teacher and a minister. Useless Martyrdom Multitudes of people lose their lives for gain, for pleasure, for fashion. Each of these has more martyrs than the cross ever required; bur the loss was without compensation or hope. But whosoever loses his life for the love of Christ, for the sake of preaching and advancing the Gospel, shall save it—shall have a blessedness and glory which will a thousand times compensate for every loss. The loss was temporal, the gain is eternal; the loss was Gmail, the gain infinite; the loss was of outward things, rhe gain is In the nature of the soul itself.—F. N. Peloubet. D. D.

If you find yourself so loaded, at least remember this: It is your doing, not God’s. —MacDonald. Man's Excellency Now in this is the excellency of man, that he is made capable of communion with His maker, and because capable of it, is unsatisfied without it; the soul being cut out. so to speak, to that largeness, cannot be filled with less.—Robert Leighton.
