AH! WHAT A LOVELY OL CHAIR= 18 IT VERY WEAK | WONDER WHY THIS COFFEE HOLDING FIRM BAN OPPOSED BY REED Former Governor of Kansas Says Present Bill Is Too Drastic. By the Associhted Prest. Approval of “stringent and con- structive” regulation of utilities hold- ing companies, but flat opposition to the 1940 dissolution provision of the ‘Wheeler-Rayburn bill was voiced be- fore the House Interstate Commerce Committee today by former Gov. | Clyde Reed of Kansas. ‘With Congress members from his | State occupying front seats in the | crowded committee chamber, the | former chairman of Kansas' State Utilities Commission, spoke for utili- ties investors in his home town of Parsons and for a State-wide organi- zation of holders of some $25,000,000 in such securities. Opposes Complete Ban. “Section 10 (the dissolution section) places every holding company under a ban,” he said. “I think there is & legitimate field for holding companies in public utllities operations. I re- gret very much to see them all put under that ban without discrimina- tion, for some are not entitled to that. “I'd turn section 10 around and leave with the commission (Securities and Exchange) power to Investigate on its own motion and then if it finds any are unreasonably complicated, the commission to issue an order for sim- plification of that structure. That leaves the commission with whole power, but leaves the situation in much better shape. “The bill as it stands leaves the impression with the commission that | it is not to give holding ¢ompanies any benefit of the doubt. For instance, Kansas investors hold some $25,000.000 of these securities, though the value | has gone out of some and can't be fe- | | stored by whatever Congress or any= | Body else does. “But there might be some salvage | | left, unless too drastic legitlation is | passed. and I'd haté to see my fellow | citizens deprived of a chance of any | $alvage.” | RIVERMAN FOUND i GUILTY IN SLAYING | William Owens Convicted by | Jury of Killing His 14.Year- 0ld Sweetheart. Adjudged insane four years ago. Willia Owens, 74-year-old river cap- | tain, was found guilty of second- | | degree murder yesterday by A Dis- | trict Supreme Court jury in connec- | tion with the slaying of his 14-year- old sweetheart, Elsie Loulse Bryant. Owens shot d killed the girl dur- ing & quarrel at 456 M street south- | west on July 2, 1931. | He was indicted for the slaying and | placed on trial, but a lunacy jury | found him to be of unsound mind be- fore the trial had. been completed. | Committed to St. Klizabeth's Hospital, the riverman filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, contending he | had recovered his sanity. | After Owens had said he wanted to | stand trial for the slaying of the girl | Justice Jennings Balley ruled he was | of sound mind. Brought to trial last Thursday, | Owen said he had no recollection of | the shooting and told the jury he was | | not of sound mind at that time. As- | | sistant United States Attornéy Samuel | F. Beach, who prosecuted the case, convinced the jury, however, that | Owens was sane at the same. Owens will be sentenced by Justice | | James M. Proc¢tor, who presided &t | the trial.

A somewhat embarrassed Secretary of State, Philander Knox, .expressed his deep regret to Count Yasuya Uchida, Japanese Ambasspdor, and that gentleman, bowing deéeply, said he would notify his government. 8o later another and perfect consignment came over land and sea and the first one of these was planted in Potoma¢ Park by Mrs. Taft on March 27, 1912. Viscountesse Uchida turned up the earth for the second tree. One year later the lovely blossoms put forth, the people of the United States were charmed, and the Japanese, over tiny cups of saki, expressed gratification that everything had turned out so honorably. Yoshino Leads Procession. ‘The earliest flowering variety of the Japanese cherry tree is the Yoshino, and it is this kind that today leads the floral procession in a march around the waterfront, the dress parade beginning with the 650 trees around the Tidal Basin. The deeper and double blossoms circling Haines Point will flower some 10 days after the Yoshinos, giving altogether about 3 weeks in which to admire their | delicate glory. Mr. Gartside’s office of Public Buildings and Parks states that, contrary to public opinion, the blossoins have not faded year by year, but are the same tints as when planted. ‘The first Japanese cherry trees to be introduced into Washington were brought here by Dr. Fairchild of the Agriculture Department in 1906, when he placed 25 of the single and double varieties in his home garden at Chevy Chase, Md, many of which are still alive.
