Delinquent. Jourolmon Says POWER FIRM CITED State Board Alleges Illegal Acts; Guild Issues Denial 1 Leon Jourolmon, state utilities commlssionei, after charging that the Tenn-issee Electric Power had discriminated in favor of the Chattanooga Free Press and ai chain grocery concern owned by the paper's publisher, announced last night that he Intended to ask! the commission to enter an interim order requiring "Immediate payment of all delinquent accounts owed by these two customers." At the same time he stated that "If the newspapers, the stores (Home Stores of Chattanooga) and the power company had entered into a conspiracy to violate the penal statutes prohibiting discriminations and rebates, It is a matter upon which the district attorney-general will have to proceed independently of the commission." He added that, if requested to do so, "the commission would certainly aupply him with all the information dlscloaad by its investigation which would tend to support such a conspiracy to violate the SUBSIOIES CHARGED. Jourolmon's charge against the power company in citing the com pany on 919 counts of discrimination was based upon "brawn subsidies to the public press" on the grounds that both the newspaper and chain stores became delinquent in payment of utilities charges immediately upon adop tion of an antl-TVA editorial pol icy by the newspaper. "During the two years ending September 30, 1938, the Chattanooga Free Press and the Home Stores benefitted from the treasury of the Tennessee Electric Power Company in the aggregate amount of more than J75.000," jourolmon charged last night in his announce ment of the interim for col lection.

Meanwhile, he charged, the power company had made "weekly settlements to the Free Press Printing Company for advertising, which amounted during the year 1937 to a total of $19,303.53," and, he added, had further the Free Press through payment of $10,000 to Silas Williams as a fee to be turned over to the Free Press In exchange for stock. PENALTY CITED The citation, served upon the power company Saturday, would subject the company to maximum penalties of if convicted under the penal statutes for "re bates and preferential Jourolmon cited. The Interim order, if approved by the commission, will require collection of all delinquent accounts of the Free Press and Home Stores, both owned by Roy McDonald of Chattanooga, or force a cessation of electric current. Jo Conn Guild, Jr president of the power company, declared "the whole order has not the slightest merit, and added that the "Chat tanooga Free Press does not owe a delinquent dollar orf its account with this company, and has paid for Its electricity in exact accord ance with published rates.

TYPHOID MARY' The authorities Jgarned that a "Mrs. Brown" had worked in both places, and then they discovered "Mrs. Brown" waa "Typhoid Mary." So Mary, sorrowing, waa returned to the island. She tried to escape and failed. Her moodiness continued.

At age advanced, ahe became more deeply religious than ahe had been, and the authorities built her a cot-tag and gave her a job in the laboratory at $60 a month. Doctors Injected her with billions more of germs In various experiments with no ill effects on Mary, She might have been cured, they said, had she been willing to undergo an Intestinal operation. But Mary steadfastly refused. So she went on living on the gloomy Island which houses several other disease carriers, la 1932 she suffered a paralytic stroke, but recovered. Her health, though, was affected and only religion brought her solace aa- she waited for the end.

It came la Riverside Hospital RAYMOND JOHNSON Tennessean Sports Editor A swirling, twisting Orange cyclone, definitely California bound, swept down on Dudley Field Saturday and dealt death and destruction to Vanderbllt's victory dreams. Bottled up and held In check until the fading minutes of the third quarter, the Tennessee Vols took full command when the Commodores collapsed in the final period and acored a comparatively easy 14 to 0 triumph as they took additional atepa toward the Rose Bowl. Almost 23,000 sweltering fans, many of them in their shirt sleeves, were startled and amazed with the way MaJ. Bob Neyland's eleven surged over the Gold and Black team the last 18 minutes. POWER SURPRISING The Vols, one of the few major teams unbeaten and untied, were favored, but no one, not even the most ardent Tennessee supporters, thought the Orangemen would so completely sweep aside the Commodores aa they did after being shackled in the first half.

Vandy had expected to win. The Commodores were confident. Head Coach Ray Morrison had openly predicted a victory, just as he did two years ago when the underdog Gold and Black battalion rose up to hold Georgia Tech to a scoreless draw. Major Neytand and bis aidea only grinned when asked for a re-game statement The Commodores rose to great heights in the first half. They more than held their own with one of the most magnificent teams in the nation.

Then after they had knocked at the Tennessee citadel lata In the second period, the Vols took command. They left no doubt aa to the better team. Vandy was soundly and completely whipped after- that sterling first half KICK-OFF BACKFIRES Disaster crowded the Commo dores from the start when a dizzy kickoff backfired because a Tennessee lineman swarmed In on the kicker. Vandy was not able to recover from that jolt until midway the second canto. Then In the dying minutes of the first half the men of Morrison made their first and only serious bid for a touchdown.

The threat fizzled out 24 yards from pay dirt The Commodores, crippled far more than the coaches would have one believe prior to the game, were then on the defense for practically the-rest of the hot afternoon. In thefag end of the third period, George Cafego, that squirming, twisting, bucking wild man from West Virginia, conducted a one-man march that didnt end until Babe Wood dived over the goal on fourth down for the first six points. That was three minutes after the birth of the fourth quarter. The drive had started on Vandy's 47 after Cafeg6 returned a punt 16 yards. Nine minutes passed into history before Wood, who played his greatest game since he beat Vandy three years ago, planted a cleat be- (Centinued On First Sport Page) President Has a Springs Date tor Dinner WASHINGTON.

NAZIS STIFLE JEWISH TRADE Theater Ban Is Placed Huge Fine Assessed On Race BERLIN, Nov. 12 tfV-Nazi Germany today practically wiped out Jewish business, barred the nation's 500,000 Jews from public entertainments and fined them $400,000,000 for the slaying, of a German diplo mat by a young Polish-German Jew In Paris. In addition, the government re quired that Jews whose 1,000 Berlin shop were wrecked or looted Thursday in mass demonstrations must pay for the damage themselves.

Insurance claims by Jews for demolition of their properties must be paid to the state. Officials promised "further decisive measures" and Jews feared that the ghetto, unemployment or concentration camps were in store for them aa the result of the most violent government and private anti-Semitic actions Nasi Germany yet has seen.

CaU 8-M01 or 8-1221. Ask for Ad-Tsker. WASHINGTON. Nov. 12 President Roosevelt's forthcoming appointment of a new Supreme Court justice may provide the first test of administration strength in the new Congress.

Some politicians look to the ap pointment also for an inkling as to whether last Tuesday's election returns may influence Roosevelt policy. They predict that. If he Intends to pursue a conciliatory policy at the result of increased Republican success at the polls, he will ap point a justice of "moderately liberal" leanings and thus lessen the likelihood of a bitter Senate con troversy over confirmation of the appointment. On the other hand there has been some speculation that, if Mr. Roosevelt is determined to con tinue an aggressive fight for his entire program, he will appoint a "militant liberal" and force- a showdown at ones with conservative Democratic senators.

One of the names which has been mentioned in speculation over the court appointment is that $2,225,000 FIRE AT DISTILLERY Owensboro, Blaze Out of Aid Requested Ky Nov, A bottling plant and two' warehouses containing 36.000 barrels of liquor were destroyed In a fire tonight at the Glenmore distillery Fire Chief E.
