NORRIS HARSH WITH ERRINGRICH BUT SOFT FOR PEOPLE'S CAUSE VAN IS RAVNG 0F WOOD ALCOL Former Fireman Is Rushed to ; Casualty Hospital After Violent Attack. Wood alcohol poisoning was named 1ast night as the cause of the death of Henry Jensen, 47 years old, of 403 Mas- sachusetts avenue, a former fireman. Dr. Joseph D. Rogers, deputy coroner, after an autopsy performed last night in the District Morgue, reported the in- ternal organs showed distinct signs of Rhaving been poisoned by wood alcohol. Jensen, who was unemployed, had been living in an upstairs room above a tire vulcanizing shop at the Massa- chusetts_avenue address owned by his nd, W. B. Bllsem;l’n. by wholl:lrl l"le formerly was employed as a mechanic. He became violently ill shortly after noon yesterday. Wi n he shouted he was going blind snd continued yelling at the top of wvoice,” Baseman reported, “I called an ambulance and sent him to Casualty ‘Hospital. He died there an hour later. I knew he had been drinking and tried to make him tell me where he bought his stuff, but he refused.” Jensen was dismissed from the Fire Department several years ago after five ' service. He was convicted by a m‘ board of charges of intoxication and desertion. Dr. A. 8. Grosberg of Casualty Hos- tal, who treated Jensen, told police e man had become ill while lying in the same bed where Samuel Baseman, 59 years old, was found in a similar condition November 11. Samuel Base- man, a brother of W. B. Baseman, died in Casualty Hospital soon after he be- came sick. Records of the morgue dis- closed his death also had been found to have been caused by wood alcohol ning. An investigation into both cases was launched yesterday by Thomas Sweeny, a headquarters detective ser- geant. FIVE-YEAR LIMIT STAYS DEPORTATION OF ALIEN Judge Holds Proceedings Involv- ing Moral Turpitude Must Begin ‘Within Set Time. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, November 29.—Deporta- tion ngs against allens for crimes involving moral turpitude must begin within five years of their arrival in America, Federal Judge James M. Morton, jr., ruled today. Judge Morton granted a petition for habeas corpus relief asked by Philip from deportation proceedings ‘which he contended were illegal because not begun within five years of his ar- rival from Italy. Evidence was introduced to show that Dipierro came to America in 1920 and that in November, 1923, he was convicted of the abuse of a 15-year-old girl—“unquestionably involving moral turpitude”—in the words of Judge Mor- ton. Dipierro served an 18-month sentence in a Massachusetts reforma- tory. Deportation proceedings were be- gun December 22, 1928. A. KAHN A deposit will reserve any selection F.| and irate. Nebraska Senator Has Rad- ical Ways, but Heart of Child. Gets That Way From Dis- tinguishing Between Right and Wrong. BY WILLIAM HARD. Why is Senator Norris of Nebraska | the way he is? That is a question which long has annoyed and puzzled his adversaries. It furnishes them now with a new rash of irritation as they contemplate the pivotal position he oc- cupies in the forcing of “radical” legis- lative proposals in the impending Con- gress. ‘The first explanation that has always come to their minds is that Mr. Norris hates the rich. The trouble with this his | explanation is that it is so readily countered and canceled by the use of the opposite explanation in the inter- preting of Senators who are “reaction- ary.” Senator Moses of New Hamp- shire, it is intimated. is the way he is because he hates the poor—or the “people.” The question would remain: ‘Why should Senator Moses and Sena- tor Norris, both distinguished and both poor, hate one the poor and the other the rich? People’s characters are not explained bv stating their political points of view—not even by stating them offensively. Senator Norris' character might be sald to start with a tendency in him toward the exvectation of a just world. Hence he is frequently verv depressed. The world turns out not to be just. His fellow “radical.” the late senior Sena- tor La Follette of Wisconsin. was sel- dom reallv depressed. He expected the world to be crowded with aggressive in- justices. Against them he was aroused They did not essentially bother him. He bothered them. They do bother Senator Norris. Plunge Into Dejection. Senator Norris just never could un- derstand, for instance. in 1919, why the great powers of the international world should be so greedy toward China. He was natively disposed toward going along with the'treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations. The League was for peace. He was for peace. Then in the treatv he found gross injustices to China. They plunged him into dejec- tion. They suffused him with gloom. They showed him the League, he thought. as an accomplice in inter- national piracy. He turned against the League. He became an “irreconcilable.” Senator La Follette and Senator Borah would have been against the League if the text of the treaty had ex- hibited not one unjust comma. They opposed the League on general prin- ciples or theories of international re- lationships. It took a concrete injustice to make Senator Norris an anti-Leaguer. Senator Norris is built, like an onion, in layers. At the heart of him there is an almost child like simplicity of faith in the nature of man. In that recess and origin of his mental constitution he is cheerful and even joyful. On a wan- dering trip with senatorial cronies of his on the rivers in the Northern woods he can chat and chatter and spin yarns and help sing songs all afternon long while the boat glides through the water no more buoyant and acceptive of life BNC. ... .3318 WEARS AT 935 F ST GIFTS that will be remembered for many Christmases to come at the gift store for all the people. - Avrtistic LAMPS « « « featuring a refreshingly new collection of modern designs ~—We i{llustrate just three of the scores of NEW ideas in occasional lamps we are featuring . . . among them we find lamps of Bronze, Onyx, Rose Quartz, Car- Prices range from $513%350 SENATOR NORRIS. than he. That is because, perhaps, no- body is spearing fish with an unfair weapon. How Horror Originates. Then, though, upon returning to | Washington, he learns that some cor- poration has hired a university profes- sor to speak for the corporation’s in- terests while pretending to speak as a student and scholar. On Senator Norris' core of sweetness there at once accumulates an enveloping layer of | black horror in the midst of which, | atier assimilating repeated instances of corporational obliquity and an official connivance at it, he frequently displays a strong impulse toward retiring from public life and toward joining the re- tired Roman Emperor Diocletian in in- dignantly raising not mankind, but vegetables. At that moment, however, a second layer grows upon him. It is a layer of disgust, of resentment, of acidity. He decides to make a speech squeezing out gallons of acidity on the knaveries which have so astonished him. They have astonished him into a condition originally totally foreign to him. It is as if a sugar cane put on a lemon rind. He makes a speech that burns and blazes and blisters. The phychological truth is that behind it there is not hate but pain. _The pain mounts, and with it, to get rid of it, the desire for action; and thereupon the previous successive layer- like George Norrisses, Norris the trust- ing and Norris the disillusioned and Norris the excoriator, are at length over-laid and completed by Norris the reformer, who stretches a retributive forefinger toward the Tennessee River and exclaims: “Take Muscle Shoals away from lt’hzlm scoundrels and give it to the pub- le!” True Radicalism Different. That is. fundamentally the tale of why he is the way he is; and it is the tale of a process wholly different from that of true “radicalism.’ Senator Nor- ris has no philosophy for the tearing up of contemporary economic soclety by the roots. He is not genuinely an economic personality at all. He is not like George Eastman, that pillar of learning and that point of incandescence in the In- terstate Commerce Commission, who is for public ownership of public utilities on arguments sheerly coldly economic and destined in his thought to endure even if every railroad president were an STERLING GIFTS ...are certain to be appreciation.

Senator Norris is not an economist, but pri- marily & lawyer, a judge, a considerer of causes between moral right and moral wrong, as he sees them, and an outraged avenger of moral right (that is, of his conception of it) in the eco- nomic legislation which is not the first objective, but only the final by-product of his wrath. The sum of the matter is that Sen- ator Norris would not be so harshly economically bad for our straying erring utilities if he were not, to with, in the innermost of him, so softly, so sensitively, so shockably, just good.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., November 29. —Entering the express car of Southern Railway train No. 19 as it backed away from the terminal station this morn- ing, two masked bandits obtained two currency consignments totaling $8,187, dropped from the car and escaped. ‘The robbery was staged so method- ically that G. C. Findley, messenger in charge, said the men were in the car scarcely four minutes. The currency was in two consign- ments, one of $7,016 for the Montevallo Coal Co. at Montevallo, Ala., and the other of $1,171 to the Straven Coal Co. to meet their pay rolls. Findley said as the train backed from the station on its run to Selma one of the men swung aboard, covering him with a pistol and ordering him to lie on the floor. A second man then swung aboard, Findley said, and began looking for the money. Obtaining it, the men dropped into the yard and disappeared. Police tonight apparently had made no headway toward their capture.
