■JWM by Arthur Brisbane DON’T SELL WHEAT SHORT FEDERAL CONTROL OF POWER MEMORIES FADE SMALLPOX ALSO MARCHES

Uncle Sam baying wheat at a price above world/market and storing it helps wheat growers of other countries ,although that is not his intention. What the wfreat situation will, be next July, nobody can guess. Wise gamblers will refrain from selling short. Uncle Sam’s pocketbook is back of what prices -in the United States, a naw kind of “corner.” Flour has reached its low price since the World war, $6160 a barrel, compared with $7.30 a year ago, and $lB a barrel, tflfc peak price in war time. Good news for housewives. Bad news for farmers. Senator Co uze ns introduces a bill to regulate production, transmisison and distribution of all classes of power in interstate commerce . He would let government supervise rates and securities issued by holding companies. Some say the people should have no control of power and its distribution, although power in national life cornea next to food, water and air. The people at least might supervise sales of securities. One company issued more than 60,000,000 shares of stock based on odds and ends of power companies. Foolish investors bought the pieces of paper, at a price exceeding fifteen hundred million dollars for the whole collection. W'illiam Howard Taft, chief justice of the supreme court, President of the United States, secretary of war, rode to his grave in Arlington cemetery on a gun carriage, the first president to be buried there. A military funeral was, perhaps, not what he would have suggested, but He was entitled to it *as former secretary of war and commander in chief of thh army and navy. Before burial the body of the late chief justice lay in state for three hours in the Capitol, on a catafalque upon which had lain the coffins of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield .McKinley and Harding. Now Lincoln stands out in that, or any list. How soon men become unimportant and are forgotten. Lincoln never! Ominous and threatening for Indie is the beginning of Mahatma Gandhi’s campaign of “no violence, but refusal to obey,” against the British. Gandhi and his followers march in protest to piake salt tax-free ,and smallpox marches with them. Three are dead, 22 prostrated by disease. The British have made a desperate fight against the various plagues in India, smallpox included, with the natives fighting against them. ' ..J.. ■ piIt has never been possible to prevent natives bathing in the filthy Ganges, occasionally swallowing the water upon whicfi corpses are set drifting. Under British rule the population of Indian has increased 100,000,000. It would soon diminish under native rule, with the aid of smallpox and other plagues. There is plenty of money in this country, the difficulty is to get it. • Secretary Mellon needs $450,000,000 • for Uncle Sam. . The public offers to buy twleve hundred and ninety one million dollar’s worth of treasury certificates. There is plenty of water, in the oceans, lakes and rivers. The trouble is to get it on dry soil that needs it All doctors and parents will be interested in news of a “meningitiscarrier,” a nineteen year old youth, Wililam Fehiker, in the reformatory lor boys at Boonville, Mo. Five superintendents and inmates with whom he came in contact died of meningitis, showing how easily the deadly disease may be contracted. From Devil’s Lake, N. D., comes the sad story of Sioux Indianas that drank anti-freeze mixture for the sake of its alcohol. It was the wrong kind. This small item of news interests managers and stockholders of railroad ahd steamship lines. An airplane driven by a Diesel engine flew ‘ from Detroit to Miami in ten hours and fifteen minutes without stopping, with chief Engineer Woolson of the Packard company and Walter Lees, pilot. And the trip costs for fuel, $8.50. “Every sweet has its sour; every <rv% its good." Rynaraon said it, British tories believe it The attack on religion in Roasia has created intense feeling in Britain.

He was released under SIO,OOO bond. Brillhart is facing charges of having done a number of Indiana residents out of sums aggregating $150,000. Among those in Syracuse who have suffered financial losses at his hands is. Mrs. Madison McPherson. _ Mr. Brillhart is well acquainted here having a summer home on the lake near Waco, and having taken part in several business deals here, among these being the merger of the local telephone company with the Bell Telephone Co. in the fal lof ’27, and the Maxwelton Manor project. When interviewed as to her losses this morning, Mrs. McPherson said that she had accepted the Maxwelton Manor bonds and other bonds in part payment for the 80 acres of ground which she owned and which were necessary to the Maxwelton project. She admitted that in later business deals with Mr. Brillhart, she had accepted stock in C. B. Brillhart and Co., of South Bend, and had turned over bonds to Brillhart for which he gave her only receipts, or interim notes. She expected to be called to testify against Brillhart when his case is tried. Other Syracuse residents are believed to hold bonds sold by him . One 'of the interim notes given to a woman started the proceedings against Brillhart last week . The note, for $3,400, which had been given Mrs. G, F. Altice of So. Bend, was called to the attention of the state securities commission by the Citizens National Bank . A warrant for his arrest was issued ,and steps were taken to have Mr. Brillhart extradited from Florida, but on the advice of his attorneys, Thad M. Talcott, Jr., and G. A. Farabaugh, he agreed to return voluntarily. Mr. Brillhart is a native of Kendallv lle. He entered business J n South Bertd in 1923. A year later he married Mrs. Frances Brown of Columbus, Ohio, divorced wife of a capitalist there and mother of a small daughter. They bought a summer home inear Waco, and a residence in South Bend. ' • 3 There Brillhart became vice president and general manager of Goss & Co. Not content with being an investment banker, he turned his hand to utility enterprises, and helped create and develop small telephone companies. His books show that he paid himself a salary of $20,000 a year and expenses. He suffered heavy losses in the stock market collapse last October ,and after'Christmas took his family to Florida. Pleading letters begging him to redeem interim notes were found in (Continued on Last Page)

Business Men, Women Os Clubs Will Work That Bathing; Beach Be Made Possible. Syracuse business men and club women have expressed their opinions of the proposed city park, (for the Syracuse. Journal. Everyone seems to favor the project; other sites than the one on. which the option was taken last week are suggested by a few. W. G. Connolly says: “The last available and suitable place for a park is within, reach. It would be a shame to let the project drop. If the place is not obtained ,the public will be cut off from the lake. Surely some arrangement could be made between the, town; administration, the business interests and the women’s clubs, who do! so’much for Syracuse. I will be willing to give liberally over a period of time to such a project.” ; J. P. Dolan gives his opinion: “I am for it. It must be a public park, under the direct control of the town. It affords a possibility for a nice park, not so much for us now, but for the boys and girls of the future. We realize a seriouk blunder was made in the. past when we failed to appreciate the opportunity that-was offered before.” Charles Kfoh says: “Lam in favor of the project if it is to be a public park, owned by the town. I d n’t think much.clf a bathing beach could be made there, but would like to see it done . 1 don’t think the deal should be swpng bj- the Commercial Club, but by the town itself.” • Ralph Thornburg favors it- “I am for it,” said Mr. Thornburg, “if we can raise the money.” Vern Beckman gives as his opinion: ‘‘That’s a fjne thing for,' the tow n . We should have it by all means. But I ahi very much opposed to having. any Commercial projevi on it, when we get it, such as stands for selling refreshments, The present condition of the spot gives visitors an entirely unfavorable pmion of us’, on'their arrival.” C. C. Bachman ,states: • “I am in favor of the park! ; I should like to see-the money for it taken from the taxes.” I' ■ Poslii aster Roy: Sarjent, backs it: “I 'am in favor of the park; It will be a ->d thing for the town.” ’’r nk Klink gives ds his. opinion: I think such a park yirould be fine, 'but the money should home from the tr-xes, not from popular subscription.” C. E. Brady states: “I am in favor of the park for Syracuse, but think the land near the dam on the mill race, w inch’the town already owns, should bie used. This of course would have to be improved, I d>‘> c i sider, however ,that the town is getting the lake property reasonably, ard it certainly is the last long the lake.” Melburn Rapp favors it. “I am for the park, but feel it should be financed from tax receipts, not fronu subscriptions.” ' Ross Franklin announces: “I am for the >fark.
