CREDIT RELIEF FOR
NORTHWEST FMS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—Five
steps for the relief of the agricultural
situation in the northwest, some to
be taken by congress, some by the
* executive branch of the government
and some by private interests, were
outlined by President Coolidge today
in a special message to congress.
The steps included:
The refunding of the pressing past
due indebtedness of the farmer in
the territories most seriously affect
ed.
Financial assistance through r fed
eral agency to enable wheat farmers
to make the change from a single
crop system to diversified farming.
The restoration, wherever it would
be helpful, of the impaired capital of
. institutions in the distressed
W sections.
d. The creation by private capital of
a substantial financing corporation
assist in the pi.-.n of reorganiza
tion.
The extension of the time during
which the war finance corporation
! can make loans.
Mr. Coolidge told congress these
were measures, “by which, without
flundue alarm or agitation, but nevei •
' theless promptly an deffectively, we
can bring to bear on a serious
happily, a localized emergen
■ycy, every resource of the federal gov
•ernment, and all the assistance
r.Which the business and farming com-
Jftnunity can render.”
'* “The economic situation in certain
y wheat growing sections of the north
- west,’’ the president said at the out
»et of his message, “is reaching an
iacute stage that requires organized
" co-operation on the part of the fed-
government and the local insti
jtutions of that terroitory for its solu
tion.”

JUGGLED ENTRIES
for prohi leader.
BOOKKEEPER sffi
NEW IjORK, Jan. 23.—William
M. Fitter, former head bookeeper of
■ the Anti-Saloon league, testified to-
■ day at the trial of William H. An-
• derson, league superintendent, that,
at Anderson’s direction, he had
transferred entries in the league’s
; books and written checks for Ander
son which were charged to the salary
account of O. Bertsall Phillips, col
lector.
Shown the league books and can
celled checks. Potter identified the
transferred entries and checks he
said had been made at Anderson’s
direction. The checks bore the in
dorsements of Anderson and nota
tions that they were “in settlement
of the Anti-Saloon league account
/ with William H. Anderson, charged
to salary account of O. B. Phillips.’’
Returning to the witness stand to
day, Phillips thundered “No!” when
asked by defense counsel if he de
sired to change his testimony regard
ing the splitting of commissions with
the defendant.
Assistant District Attorney Pecora
exhibited a bundle of checks and
showed that some of them bore the
indorsements of Anderson under
those of Phillips. Phillips said that
he had been in the habit of receipt
ing for the checks and when he gave
Anderson money he merely indorsed
them and handed them to him. The
checks indorsed by Anderson, Mr.
Pecora declared, were enough to
make up the difference in which
Phillips previously had been confus
ed v hen answering Whitman's ques
tions.

Science college, in London, and yes
terday attended her lectures as usual
before going to the Downing street
I mansion at the invitation of Mr. S.
, Baldwin, who received her and show-

' “I have been studying laundry
work, house wifery and cooking."
i Miss MacDonald said, “but I am not

NINE TRUCK LOADS
OF LIQDOR SEIZED.
WORTH SIOO.DOO
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 24.—Pro
hibition enforcement forces from
the office of O. D. Jackson, federal
prohibition director, were engaged
today in taking an inventory of
liquor seized when the two-story
colonial home of Peter Fabacher,
Ideated in one ot the fashionable
residential districts of the city, was
visited yesterday by federal agents.
Nine large trucks were used in
hauling 22,200 quarts of fine wines,
whiskies and champagne to the store
room of the customs house'building,
where it was labelled and packed
awaV. It was estimated the value
of the seized liquors at bootleggers’
prices was more than SIOO,OOO.
Jackson stated a charge of selling
and possessing liquor would be filed
against Mr. Fabacher today.
Fabacher, with several ’brothers,
formerly operated two of the city’s
noted restaurants. One was on
Royal street, near the heart of the
old French quarter, and the other,
Fabachers’ Rathskellar, on St-
Charles street, the present site of
a restaurant and cabaret.
The warrant was served upon Mr.
Fabacher. He is 69 years old and
was visibly affected by the raid.
Henry Langfried, counsel for Mr.
Fabacher, declared the warrant to
search the Fabacher home was
faulty. He asserted Mr. Fabacher
had legal possession of the liquor
and that no sale was made from
the residence. He said he expected
to institute court proceedings im
mediately for its return.
A charge of transporting and pos
sessing liquor is pending against
Mr. Fabacher in St. Bernard par
ish. He was named in affidavits
sworn to by Philip R. Livaudis, dis
trict attorney, during the sensation
al rum-running investigation in the
parish which followed the killing
of two deputy sheriffs at Violet
Bridge, April 17, last year.

RUSSIANS TO NAME
NEW LEADER AFTER
FUNERAL OF LENINE
MOSCOW, Jan. 23.—(8y the As
sociated Press.) —The body of Niko
lai Lenine, late premier of Soviet
Russia, was brought to Moscow this
afternoon from the little town of
Gorky in the distant suburbs where
his struggle for life after a long
illness ended late on Monday.
On the shoulders of his comrades
of the council of commisars, his
coffin was carried nearly five miles
through streets guarded by soviet
troops to the house of unions, where
it is to rest in state until the fu
neral ceremonies.
The day was cold and dismal, but
as the casket, uncovered but for a
lid of thin glass, was carried
through the streets, the windows,
roofs and gables of the houses, the
adjoining fences and all places of
vantage off the thoroughfares, on
which all traffic was stopped, were
crowded with thousands of silent on
lookers.
More than 20,000 members of par
liament and the communist party
and delegations from various de
partments and labor unions gather
ed at the railway station where the
I train bringing the body, drawn by
i locomotives, the upper part of which
| were wound with red and black rib
bons. drew into the station quietly
and promptly at 1 o’clock to the
slow and solemn music of a funeral
march played by the soldiers’ bands
Salute Is Given
The temperature was down to zero
but as the casket was brought
down the platform, the delegation
ceased stamping its frozen feet,
heads were bared to the snow flakes,
bj* the civilians and chilled hands
lifted in military salute.
Zinovieff, Stalin, Kamaneff, Dzcr
jinsky and even Bucharin, who him
self is ill, shuffled along slowly un
der the weight of the silver trimmed
casket draped with red, and under
th eglass lid the crowds caught a
glimpse of the pale worn face of
the dead premier.
A big gun caisson drawn b\Y six
! white horses was waiting to take
! the body, but the bearers ruled oth
! erwise. Front time to time along
j the route their shoulders weakened
| and the bearers were changed, vol
unteers front the nearest marchers
j sometimes assisting.

Carter to Tour U. S.
Before Final Work on
Tomb of Tutenkhamun
LUXOR, Egypt. Jan. 23. —In view
! of the fact that plans for a radiolog
ical examination of Tutenkhamun’s
mummy havo been deferred until
next year, and that Howard Carter,
head of the excavating expedition, is
departing for the United States for a
lecture totlr on April 1, it appears
doubtful whether the Pharoah’s
mummy will be unwrapped this sea
son.
Mr. Carter is understood to have
' come to the conclusion that the sides
•of the four enclosing shrines must
be taken down to make room for the
| complicated apparatus which must
be erected for raising the weighty lid
of the stone sarcophagus, so this op
eration, which it is le • ned is to be
carried out in the presence of the
heads of the Egyptian government,
can hardly take tlace before the be
ginning of February.

COOLIDGE SPURNS
G.O.P.ffllCEffl
TAX COMPROMISE
BY DAVID I.A WHENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, ,1»24.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Presi
dent Coolidge has entered the fight
between Secretary Mellon and con
gress on tax reduction and gives
promise of staying in it till the end.
The president has been watching
with passive interest thus far the
skirmishes between the secretary of
the treasury and various members
of congress, all of which came to a
climax with a visit by Republican
leaders to the White House to tell
Mr. Coolidge he must compromise.
This used to happen quite often jn
past days, but congress has been
taken aback by the firm response
of the chief executive. He will not
compromise the tax bill out of
existence.
Mr. Coolidge takes pains to make
it clear he is not standing by the
treasury proposal with respect to
every detail. He expects changes
to be made that will improve the
measure. He doesn’t object to amend
ments which may represent merely
a difference of viewpoint on admin
istration of the tax measure, but he
is unalterably opposed to any change
that destroys the object of the bill,
namely universal tax reduction.
Latest Warning Significance
There is more significance to Mr.
Coolidge’s latest warning to congress
than has come from the White Hcuse
in the form of a statement or utter
ance since the president read his
first message to congress. Mr. Cool
idge doesn’t expect to surrender any
thing without a battle. Some of nis
strongest supporters have become
panicky over the coalition between
the insurgent Republicans and the
Democrats and are beginning to urge
a compromise particularly in the
surtax’ rates, arguing that a 25 per
cent maximum on surtaxes never
will be adopted. The Democratshave
placed the maximum at 44 per cent,
and the compromise talk is of 35.
per cent.
Mr. Coolidge feels that the sur
tax rates are not matters for politi
cal juggling or compromise. He be
lieves that a surtax rate must be
productive of revenue. He is thor
oughly familiar with what revenues
the government has been losing un
der the hign rates, and he is deter
mined that the surtax rate shall be
lowered so as to produce revenue.
He takes the view that otherwise
the people of small incomes will
have to make up the deficiency just
as they are doing today, and that a
practical way must be found to pre
vent the pnormous investment in tax
exempt securities.
Firmly Behind Mellon
Mr. Coolidge stands firmly behind
Secretary Mellon, who has furished
figures, based on previous years
showing that the government is get
ting less and less revenue from the
higher surtax rates. The question
of how low the surtaxes should be
placed is a practical question of
mathematics. Below a certain point
surtaxes become productive, above
a certain figure they are avoided en
tirely by means of tax exempt securi
ties.
Thirty-five percent is in many -
spects as useless so far as produc
ing revenue as 58 per cent. Twenty
five per cent is the mark at which
capital can be tempted to invest in
taxable securities. Mr. Coolidge ex
pects to make this clear to the coun
try when the occasion requires. He
is not saying much at present, but
the warnings he has sent out are
calculated to stiffen the backs of
his supporters in congress.
Inquiry at the White House as to
whether the president would veto a
bill which bad in it a provision for
surtax rates above 25 per cent
brought the response that Mr. Cool
idge would not undertake to fore
cast his action. On the other hand,
it was stated officially that the test
of whether the bill would be ap
proved in the last analysis would de-
No Need to
Be Dyspeptic
If Stomach Sours, Gets Gassy and
Heavy, Sweeten and Lighten
With Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets
Ono nevor grows too old to forget the
delights of eating. And yet old people
will sometimes play on these memories
and bring on dyspeptic attacks even
though the diet be simple. Every family
should be supplied with Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. From childhood to old
age they daily overcome or prevent the
distresses due to indigestion. They sweet
en the stomach by giving it the alkaline
effect as in health, they absorb the
gases, they lift oft the feeling ot heavi
ness, they stop sour risings or heart
burn, they actually assist in the digestion
of food, and from all points ot view are
one ot the most invaluable aids to health,
to be found. So, no matter what you
rat, if your stomac'/i rebels, always re
member that a 60-cent box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will keep your stom
ach sweet and thus aid to prevent much
of the distress that conies late in life.

before a large audience of agricul
tural agents, business men and farm
ers from all sections of the state
here Tuesday at the "Farmers’
Week” conference, Eugene R. Black,
president of the Atlanta Trust com
pany, declared that prosperity will
not return to Georgia until land
values are re-established, that that
day would not come until farming
has been put on a business basis,
which means that cotton and other
products must be marketed through
co-operative associations.
Mr. Black recounted the history
and sound growth, of the Georgia
Colton Growers’ Co-Operative asso
ciation and pointed out that while
New York bankers had offered to
finance the cotton co-operative to
the extent of more than $4,000,000,
not one cent had been necessary be
cause Georgia bankers were doing
the job, due to the fact that the
business men are waking up to the
fact that they must help agricul
ture if they are to prosper. The
speaker stated that the co-operative
has, it is true, the partial support of
the business men, but it deserves the
support and co operation of all busi
ness men.
Country banks can continue to ex
pect collections to be poor until they
have backed the farmer in this sound
business movement to put farming
on a business basis, he said.
“The farmer has been consistently
robbed,” was one of the reasons
given by the speaker for the fact
that he is now working with success
to sell his products co-operatively
and profitably for himself and those
•with whqm he does business. Mr.
Black stated that the cotton co-op
erative under the leadership of Pres
ident J. C. Conwell has the support
and help of the Atlanta banks, and
further, that it deserves the support
of all the banks of the state. His
address was well received.

Leader in Louisiana
Primary Urged to Give
Race to Second Man
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 23.—The
unique situation of the leading can
didate in a political race being urged
to withdraw and permit the second
place candidate to assume the of
fice without further contest exists in
Louisiana today.
Considerable pressure has been
placed on Lieutenant Governor Hew
itt Bouanchaud, who led for gover
nor in the Democratic primary of
January 15, to step aside and not en
ter a. second primary, which is nec
essary under the state law when no
candidate receives a majority.
The three New Orleans newspa
pers, the Times-Picayune, which sup
ported Mr. Bouanchaud; the Daily
States, which was neutral, and the
Item, which supported Henry L.
Fuqua in the last days of the cam
paign, are unanimous in asking Mr.
Bouanchaud to withdraw and pre
vent the expense and trouble of hold
ing another primary, as they consid
er Mr. Bouanchaud’s chance of vic
tory hopeless.
Mr. Fuqua trailed Mr. Bouanchaud
2,780 votes. In the event Mr. Bouan
chaud abandons his x quest for the
governorship, Mr. Fuqua is the Dem
ocratic nominee, which is equivalent
to election.
