Chairman Legge Makes
Plain to Senators His
Farm Board Policy.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
A LEXANDKR LEGGE, Chairman of
the federal farm board, intends
tiiat the money put at the disposal of
the board shall he handled “with a
reasonable measure of safety," and he
doesn’t wish his appointment to be
confirmed under the mistaken impres¬
sion that any other policy will be fol¬
lowed. If the senate does not approve
of this policy, Mr. Legge is perfectly
willing to give up his office and return
to liis home in Chicago and his private
business.
So much, and a lot more to the
same purpose, the chairman told the
senate committee on agriculture which
was considering his appointment. The
Democratic and radical Republican
members of the committee questioned
Sir. Legge sharply for many hours
and made plain their displeasure be¬
cause the board in the two months
of its existence had not more rapidly
organized stabilization corporations
and placed at their disposal large
funds with which to enhance the
prices of farm products. Senators
Brookhart of Iowa and Wheeler of
Montana were especially vexed by the
failure of the farm board to take
steps assuring the stabilization of
wheat prices during the present crop
season. Senator Wheeler said that
if the board had announced that a
stabilization corporation would be pre¬
pared to operate the farmers would
have held their wheat. Senator Frazier
of North Dakota said the farmers of
ids state had lost from 25 to 40 cents
a bushel on wheat because of the fail¬
ure of the board to take action.
Mr. Legge explained that stabiliza¬
tion corporations would be organized
as rapidly as it is possible to deter¬
mine that they can operate with a
reasonable prospect of success. It. is
Intended, he said, that the grain
marketing corporation, which was
organized at Chicago conferences,
shall act as a stabilization corpora¬
tion. He explained tiiat steps toward
the formation of this corporation were
taken within nine days after the board
organized.
Wheeler intimated that the board's
loan to the Sun Maid Raisin Growers’
association was made for the benefit
of a Wall street house that floated the
bonds of the Sun Maid Raisin corpora¬
tion, but Mr. Legge effectively scotched
that idea by explaining that the loan
prevented the financiers from fore¬
closing on the company's property. He
also took the wind out of the sails of
those who sought to attack him per¬
sonally in the matter of his connec¬
tion with the International Harvester
company by a detailed statement of
earnings and market values of that
concern's stock and of his financial
interest in it.
C HTPBL'ILBING company officials
O for whom William B. Shearer at¬
tended the Geneva arms limitation
conference In 1927 all virtually dis¬
owned him in their testimony before
the senate investigating committee,
agreeing in stating that they attached
small importance to his reports and
none at all to his claims of influence
there. In his final report to his em¬
ployers Shearer asserted his work in
Geneva resulted in the collapse of the
conference. He said: “This advance
campaign and the accuracy and au¬
thentic data released by me automat¬
ically made me leader of the unoffi¬
cial fight to the extent that the Amer¬
ican officials referred the press to me,
as they were bound to secrecy, with
the result that the attempt to deliver
the United States was defeated by a
complete expose, which is now ac¬
knowledged.”
SENATOR HOWELL of Nebraska
•3 stirred up a hornet’s nest when
in the senate he declared the liquor
laws could be enforced in Washing¬
ton if the President desired it, since
he is “all powerful In the capital"
and could oust the district commis¬
sioners if they neglected their duty.
Mr. Hoover responded promptly with
a statement that Mr. Howell had im¬
pugned the integrity of the district
officials, and called on the senator for
“definite facts" supporting his charges
of prohibition violations in the dis¬
trict.
Reiterating ids charges Tuesday,
Senator Howell admitted lie was un¬
able to give the time and place of
violations but said it was “unfair to
expect a senator so to do.” Senator
Brookhart then came to his rescue by
telling of a convivial party he said
was given in Washington by a New
York stock broker in honor of newly
elected senators and others some time
ago. He declared there was a flask
of liquor for each guest, and later he
said he would gladly face a grand jury
and tell all about the party, giving the
names of those present—-which caused
considerable alarm. There was indi¬
cation that this function might be in¬
vestigated by those who are probing
the doings of lobbyists, for, according
to Brookhart, there was much dis¬
cussion of pending railroad legisla¬
tion.
Mr. Howell, In continuing his at¬
tacks, charged as one instance of the
failure of local enforcers that the
Carlton club, one of the most exclu¬
sive night clubs in the capital, lias
never been raided or closed up, al¬
though four dry agents reported wit¬
nessing Volstead violations at numer¬
ous tables. Later he said be would
seek to have Gen. S'medley D. But¬
ler, commandant of the marine corps
base at Quantico, detailed to Washing¬
ton for a “clean-up job.” General
Butler recently compelled the town au¬
thorities of Quantico to enforce the
prohibition law by ordering the ma¬
rines not to enter the town until the
speakeasies and bootleggers were
driven out.
rjARRY F. SINCLAIR’S appeal to
“ the President for commutation
of sentence having been denied on
recommendation of Attorney General
Mitchell, the imprisoned oil magnate
issued a statement calling on Sir.
Mitchell to make public all of the
record in his plea. His principal rea¬
son for asking for freedom, Sinclair
declared, was tiiat he had been jaiied
for jury shadowing—which had not
before been prohibited by statute or
rule of the court. “Observation of a
jury became contempt of court only
when I engaged in it,” he declared.
“In effect,” Sinclair said, “the state¬
ment of the attorney general can be
summed up to mean that I should re¬
main in jail because I was acquitted
of an alleged offense for which he
feels I should have been convicted.”
rpOR the first tim^ President Hoover
U took a hand in the tariff fight when
he issued a statement urging the re¬
tention oF'the flexible tariff, which he
asserted is “a protection for the sound
progress in our economic system and
for the future protection of our farm¬
ers and our industries and consum¬
ers.” He gave at considerable length
his reasons for this assertion, taking
direct issue with the Democrats and
radical Republicans who seek the re¬
peal of the flexible tariff. Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi predicted
the President would be defeated on
this proposition.
U'VERY American was InWesfed in
the wedding of Maj. John Cool
idge, son of former President and
Mrs. Coolidge, and Florence Trumbull,
daughter of Governor Trumbull of
Connecticut. The ceremony took place
in the bride’s home town, Plalnville,
Corn?., and though the families tried to
make it a simple affair, it was at¬
tended by a number of distinguished
persons and the details were read with
avidity throughout the land. The
wedding gifts nearly filled one half of
the second floor of the Trumbull home
and included a big silver bowl and
candlesticks from the foreign envoys
in Washington. Mr. Coolidge gave “a
substantial check” and Mrs. Coolidge
presented a solid mahogany bedroom
suite of colonial design and a check
for $250. which she received for her
poem* “The Open Door,” inspired by
the fifth anniversary of the death of
her other son, Calvin Coolidge, Jr.
TACK SON REYNOLDS, president of
«-» the First National bank of New
York, and Melvin A. Traylor, presi¬
dent of the First National bank of
CLEVELAND COURIER.
Chicago, American representatives on
the commission that is to set up the
bank for international settlements pro¬
vided for In the Young reparations
plan, have sailed for Europe, where
they will meet their European col¬
leagues. The effort to put the bank
under complete control of the League
of Nations failed for the time being
in Geneva, but something in that line
may come np at later sessions of the
league assembly. Since it was speci¬
fied by (lie .Young commission that
tHe bank should be dominated by
financial and not political interests,
Messrs. Reynolds and Traylor did not
confer with President Hoover before
departing.
D A MS AY MACDONALD, prime
‘ ' minister of Great Britain, occupy¬
ing the imperial suite on the liner
Berengaria, sailed for Hie United
States for ids conference with Presi¬
dent Hoover. He is bringing no staff
of experts with him because, as iie
told tlie English, the technical points
of the proposed plan for a five-power
naval limitation conference have al¬
ready been settled and all that Is
needed is a diplomatic agreement. In
the conversations with Mr. Hoover,
besides the naval conference, other
matters entering Into Anglo-American
relations will be discussed, one of
them possibly being certain changes
in the ship liquor treaty negotiated
in 1923.
T AST week it was Russia’s turn to
L issue an ultimatum, so the Soviet
government warned the Chinese Na¬
tionalist government tiiat any further
Chinese ntfttcks on the Russian popu¬
lation along the Manchurian border
would result in immediate and decisive
action by the Red army.
Gen. Chang Fak-wei, reactionary
commander of the Cantonese “Iron¬
sides” division, who was dismissed by
the Nanking government, led his
troops in a rebellion that for some
days looked very serious. But toward
the end of the week the Nationalist
authorities announced the revolt was
broken and Chang’s soldiers surround¬
ed at Liehow.
Letters from missionaries tell of
the massacre, late in August, of
3,000 rebellious Moslems in the remote
Kansu province. The victims were
gathered at Taochow under a pretext
and all males between the ages of fif¬
teen and fifty were slaughtered.
* POLITICAL which for some quarrels weeks in have Austria, been
threatening civil war, were further
complicated by the resignation of
Chancellor Streeruwitz and ids Chris¬
tian Socialist caoinet because certain
elements in their party could no long¬
er he restrained. Johan Schober, head
of the Vienna police, was made chan¬
cellor and he selected as minister of
war Gen. Karl Vaugoin, who has made
the army a powerful conservative
force. Both these men are bitter foes
of the Socialists.
The coalition government of Czecho¬
slovakia which had held office since
last February also resigned. Parlia¬
ment was dissolved and new elections
were called for October 27.
A CCORDING to reports from Cal
** cutta, Amir Habibullah, otherwise
Bachn Sakao, the water carrier and
bandit who made himself king of Af¬
ghanistan, was assassinated. Recent
advices from Peshawar stated unrest
was increasing in Afghanistan, owing
to Habibullah’s inability to raise
money, and a counter revolution was
threatened.
pOLONEL L - feat was LINDBERGH’S flight from Miami latest

Cuba, Trinidad, British Guiana and
Dutch Guiana for the purpose of open¬
ing a new aerial route. He was ac¬
companied by Mrs. Lindbergh and sev¬
eral others and the trip was without
undue incident. Coming back from
Paramaribo to Port of Spain, the col¬
onel turned his plane westward for
flight to Maracay, Venezuela. From
there his homeward course Included
Curacao, Maracaibo, Barranquilla, the
Canal Zone and again Cuba.

When Billons
I Remembered Mack-Draught
Mr. O. B. Davis, Manager of the Com¬
mercial Hotel, Dexter, Mo., writes:
“ M Y parents used Black-Draught for years, and gave it
to us when I lived at home. I knew it was a good
remedy. When I would get bilious, my head would feel
dull, 1 did not feel equal to a day’s work, and had a bad
taste in my mouth. Then I remembered Black-Draught
and took a few doses. It helped me. The dull, tired feel¬
ing left me and I knew, by that, that Black-Draught was as
good as ever—a simple home remedy to cleanse the sys¬
tem and make you feel better for having taken it.”

tance of the extra point after touch¬

duced at the University of Iowa. In
40 years of gridiron contests records
show tiiat in only three cases did the
extra point play a major part in the
outcome of the game.
