...temperature of the earth's interior would produce a considerable alteration of the crust. How the earth contracts and expands Dr. Brown could only speculate. Evidence for his theory lies in the fact that the fissures all over the earth (such as occur in mountain building) constantly repeat their openings and closings. Last advice of Astronomer Brown was the suggestion that sensitive instruments be set up near large fissures to measure the rate of their changes. Exact measurements might then lead to some predictions...

He did repeat the names of a half-dozen well-known lobbyists. Nevertheless, the Rules Committee, led by its hard-boiled chairman, Tammanyite John Joseph O'Connor, voted for an investigation.

He is already conducting a monopoly investigation...
