10 OPPOSES FEDERAL | CONTROL OF POWER Hoover Tells Electrical Body States Can Best Regulate the Industry. By the Associated Pres: SAN FRANCISCO, June though the generation and distribu- tion of electric current is undergoing profound transformation geographical expansion, Hoover, in an address last night bef the National Electric Light As: ton, urged that the States rather than the Federal Government hold responsibility for regulating the serv- ice and finances of the industry. Problems of maintaining conditions advantageous to a population that is becoming more and more dependent upon the distant generation and movement of energy, he said, increasingly difficult, but State utilitie: commissions have met them so well thus far that nothing but danger would alt from calling in the Federal Government to assist in this work. “All this great evolution starts from the scientific discovery of long-dis- tance power transmission,” he said “From it have sprung a long train of consequences truly startling in their effect. It means not only chéaper operation but greater security of supply and enormous expansion in the application of electricity to much wider purposes. Predicts Wide Expansion. “We had, ago, but one station exc 5,000 horsepower. Today we have at least,500 stations of over 100,000 horsepow In five years we have increased central sta- tion capacity #most 58 per cent. “A flow of electricity soon will b traceable through many regional sys tems continuously from Montana west | to the Pacific, thence south to Mexic a distance of 1,800 miles. Shor power ty-ings will be completed c: ing all the way from Wiscons Michigan around through We: ginia and North Carolina to Arkansas and Louisiana. By 1930, probably $5,000,000,000 of additional investment | will be required. “There is some anxiety in the public mind as to whether public interest is or will be adequately protected in this | great transformation * * The | real issue in this question is whether States, through their regulative pow. ers, are already in control of the situation for the public interest * * * It is my bellef from investization that the public service commissions, with very little just criticism, are proving themselves fully adequate to control the situation. The laws as written in the State statute books are suffi- cient to protect both the public and the {ndustry, the two parties to the utility contract. Rates Below Prewar Basis. “The service leads all others in the world and it improves every day. As to reasonableness of rates, it may be observed that rates are today slightly below prewar, and this despite an in- crease of 100 per cent in wages, to- gether with increased cost of fuel and many supplies. ! “There are the most welghty of reasons against Federal regulation. Nothing will produce worse service than the attempt to transfer local problems to absentee solution at Washington. Nothing could be a more hideous extension of centraliza- 18.—Al- |8 | Jardine Says California Points Way in THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 18 1925. Darwin’s Spirit “Recants” Theories To Medium on Eve of Scopes’ Trial Author of “Origin of Species,” Supported by Lin- coln and Roosevelt, Changes Mind About Evo- lution and Decides That Bryan Is Right. On the eve of the Scopes trial in Tennessee, the spirit of Charles Dar- win has entered the evolution con- troversy which is about to challenge the attention of the world. Darwin “recants.” He takes it all back. He vs man is not descended from the ape. Darwin is sorry that he spoke. He asks his followers to scrap the theory of evolution and accept the affirmation that mankind is of divine origin. The renunciation of the author of “The Origin of Specles” appropriately reaches the United States by way of Great Britain, where Darwin was born. It arrived there by the spirit route. The reciplent of his remorse- ful communications is an English- woman, Miss Louise Owen, who is now attracting widespread notice in London as the transmitter of regular spirit messages from the late Lord Northeliffe. Miss Owen was for 20 tion in the Federal Government than to thus undermine the State utility sions and State responsibil- Cheer for Home Drudges.

Marketing Crops. FRESNO, Calif., June 18 (#).—Cali- fornia is the pioneer in the marketing of the products of the sofl co-opera- tively, William A. Jardine, Secretary of Agriculture, said in the course of a Sspeech delivered at a banquet given in his honor by the Fresno County Chamber of Commerce last night. “One of the chief reasons agricul- ture has suffered so recently,” he said, hat agriculture did not have any balance. We had little balance before the war and during the war we completely lost our heads. After the war we had no sound basis on which to bulld an agriculture which would fit into new conditions. “‘After the war we all belleved there would be little deflation; in fact, we rather expected inflation, and it was almost overnight that at the end of 1919 we came suddenly to the vertical decline in prices. The wheat farmers were cultivating 75,000,000 acres in- stead of 45,000,000 before the war and the same was true of almost every other line of agriculture. “The farmer has done a pretty good job in eliminating the surpluses, but the turnover in agriculture is very W 0 R riffith §f " oal orporation ood lean U oal == L 830 13th St. N.W.

Sends “Beautiful Message."” To this writer, a long-time member of Lord Northcliffe’s editorial staff, Miss Owen has just supplied the con- tents of utiful message” from Darwin, is apparent that the great evolutionist has as keen a “‘news sense” as Miss Owen’s departed and distinguished chief, for the Tennessee trial is gripping British public at- tention as keenly as it is the Midsum- mer emotions of this news-famished country. “You will be interested to hear,” Miss Owen writes from her country home, Lavender Cottage, Clover Rise, Tankerton, Kent, “that Darwin has returned to me, to make public a beautiful message. I am sending you a summary of it because of the ex- traordinary attention which the evo- lutionary “theory mnow seems to be arousing in the United States. “Darwin asks the forgiveness of the world for giving mankind all his futile theories and discussions. His greatest error was thinking so much of his own intellect, and devoting his life to solving the mystery of creation. He presented to the convention [is full of regret and remorse and wants his experience to warn all the scien- tists that they must propagate, not “The Origin of Species,” but the origin of man's divinity. Lincoln and Roosevelt Helping. “Darwin is not the only great man who is back helping with Northcliffe. Your own immortal Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt are aiding our old chief, too. So is Cecil Rhodes, the African empire builder, with whom John Hays Hammond, the fa- mous American mining engineer, was so long assoclated. Northcliffe's re- cent message to me said: “I have met the great spirits who have passed over, and, although they are not all active yet, they will be.

Still Belleves in Advertising. Northcliffe, Miss Owen indicates, re- tains in_his spiritual incarnation his earthly faith in printer's ink and the e value of advertising. The renowned e “agony column” of the aristocratic Mlllmcry London Morning Post contained on May 11 and 19 a paid advertisement . from Northcliffe, inviting his mundane colleagues to hear him deliver his message through Miss Owen in a pub- lic hall. “This is the first time in his- tory,” Miss Owen says, “that a spirit ever used the advertising columns of a newspaper.” She adds that it evi- dently pays a spirit to advertise, too, for Northcliffe’'s “message” was re- layed to a capacity audiefice.
