London Naval Treaty Will
Be Dealt With by Senate
in Special Session.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
RATIFICATION or rejection of the
London naval treaty will be ac¬
complished by the senate in a special
session, to be railed by President
Hoover immediately after the adjourn¬
ment of congress about June 15. This
was the plan decided upon by majority
leaders of the senate and house with
the approval of the President. It was
considered best for congress to go
ahead with (lie business before it,
complete that and adjourn without
taking up the treaty, The house lend¬
ers said they were ready to set a date
for ending the session as soon as the
senate was prepared for such a step.
Opposition to hasty action on the
treaty, by opponents of the pact, and
a desire on the part of members of
the house to get through and go home
were two of the jnajor reasons for
the decision reached. President
Hoover’s announcement that he in¬
tended to cal! n special session, if
necessary, to insure early action on
the treaty was a principal factor.
Senators Johnson of California and
Hale of Maine, leaders of the oppo¬
sition, were especially vehement In
their objections to what they called
an attempt to railroad the pact through
the senate by administration senators.
Under the program adopted, the tariff,
rivers and harbors, omnibus and vet¬
erans bills will be acted on In the
senate before congress adjourns.
More members of the navy general
board and other high officers of the
navy appeared before the senate com¬
mittee on foreign relations and naval
affairs to tell why they consider the
London treaty dangerous for the
United States. Much of their testi¬
mony was to the effect that it would
make It impossible for the navy to
protect this country’s trade routes;
there also was further criticism of
the reduction in the number of large
cruisers for America and of the in¬
creased ratio given Japan.
T"\EBATE on the conference report
ou the tariff bill was just getting
jmder way in the senate when some
one raised a point of order which was
sustained by Vice President Curtis
and under which the measure was
sent back to conference. Consequent¬
ly final action on the bill was delayed
for at least one week.
The point of order related to a
clause in the flexible provision per¬
mitting the tariff commission to make
effective changes in duties if the Pres¬
ident failed either to approve or dis¬
approve a recommendation for an in¬
crease or decrease within CO days.
Republican leaders were concerned
over the fact that several additional
points of order may be made relating
to rate items. If these are sustained
further delays are in prospect.
rMGURES presented to the senate
f campaign expenditures committee
revealed that Senator Grundy of Penn¬
sylvania spent S2!)l,vOO out of his own
pocket in his losing campaign for re
nomluation and that the total cost of
that campaign was $332,076. Secretary
of Labor Davis, who defeated Grundy,
told the committee that he expended
and pledged out of his own funds
$10,541.45. lie said he also handled
about $10,000 in contributions to his
campaign,which be turned over to bis
committee.
Francis Grundy li. Bohlen, who Secretary ran against |
Senator and Davis
With the backing of the Association
“Against the Prohibition Amendment,
testified that the total expended for
the ticket which included himself and
candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor was a little more than $200.
000. Of this amount $10,000 was con¬
tributed by the association.
^ COME of the dry leaders in the sen- j
ate were considerably more dis¬
turbed by tiie ruling of the Supreme
court, that the ordinary purchaser of
intoxicating liquor is not guilty of an *
offense, than was the prohibition en-
forcement bureau. Senator Sheppard
of Texas, for Instance, urged the early
enactment of legislation to make the
liquor buyer punishable under the dry
laws. Sheppard was co-author of the
Eighteenth amendment. Early in the
present session lie introduced a bill
to make the seller and purchaser of
illicit liquor equally liable to punish¬
ment. Senator Jones of Washington,
author of the “five and ten law,” and
others opposed tiie views of Sheppard.
The court, in an important test case
brought by the government, held that
congress not only “deliberately and
designedly” exempted purchasers in
the Volstead act, but for ten years
“has significantly left the law In its
original form.”
Enforcement bureau officials pointed
out that the decision was entirely in
accord with tiie policy tiie bureau had
followed.
npllItKK l prohibition bills enforcement, Intended to principal¬ improve
ly through the relief of congested fed¬
eral court dockets, were given the ap¬
proval of the house judiciary com¬
mittee. One measure would authorize
the summary prosecution of offenses,
elsewhere defined ns misdemeanors,
before United States commissioners
without a jury. Whatever the action
of the commissioner, it must he con¬
firmed or disapproved by a member of
the federal bench.
Another would amend the United
Slates code to define a misdemeanor
ns an offense calling for a maximum
penalty of six months in jail, a fine
of $500, or both, and a felony as an
offense punishable by imprisonment
for not less than one year.
The third measure would amend the
Jones law to define a misdemeanor
under the prohibition laws as an of¬
fense committed by one w1k> is not an
habitual violator of the dry statutes
and a case involving not more than
one gallon of liquor.
/"NUT v-J in Seattle a federal grand jury
returned indictments against Roy
C. Lyle, prohibition administrator for
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana
and Alaska, and others on charges of
corruption and bribery. ’ Among tiie
indicted are William M. Whitney, Mr.
Lyle's assistant and legal advisor;
Earl Corwin, a prohibition agent; M.
L. Fryant, a deputy sheriff who won
notoriety as a wire tapper in the fa¬
mous Olmsted “whispering wires”
ease, and C. T. McKinney, a young
lawyer from Kentucky who led the
prosecution of the Olmsted liquor
gang.
LI /~v FFICIALS of the Methodist board
of temperance, prohibition and
public morals were asked to appear
before tiie senate lobby committee to
explain its alleged failure to report, in
accordance with the federal corrupt
practices act, its activities in the
Presidential campaign of 1928.
Deets Tickett, research secretary of
the board, testifying in the absence of
Dr. Clarence True Wilson, Its general
secretary, Insisted that its activities
in behalf of Hoover were “nonpolit
ical.” lie pointed out that the Depart¬
ment of Justice lias declined to prose¬
cute the board for noncompliance with
the federal statute.
Pickett stated that hundreds of
thousands of copies Of the Voice and
the Clipslieet, organs of the board, at¬
tacking A1 Smith’s prohibition record,
were circulated during the 192S cam¬
paign ; that the religious issue received
attention in the Voice, a fact lie now
deplored; and that, as reported to the
board by Doctor Wilson after the com
paign, “we did use all the energy that
we were capable of in bringing about
the election of Herbert Hoover as
President and Charles Curtis as Vice
President.”
jitjvSSIVE" no longer describes the
I resistance of the Indian natives
to British rule. The rioting is increas¬
ing daily and has developed into
bloody conflicts with tbe police and
the troops. What is worse, in the
eyes of the British, is tiie fact that
tiie Moslems are joining their tradi¬
tional enemies, the Hindus, in the cam¬

other places there have been sangui¬
nary fights between natives of tbe two
religions. *

Growing Pickles
Very Profitable
Offers Opportunity for Sum¬
mer Work by School
Boys and Girls
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
About three billion cucumber pick¬
les tickle the American palate each
year. Consumers buy them although
the pickles are not high in food value,
but serve primarily as an appetizer
and relish with other foods. Growing
cucumbers for sale to pickle manu¬
facturers is a profitable farm spe¬
cialty in certain regions where soil
and climatic conditions are favorable
and where the fields are within rea¬
sonable distance of a salting station.
Summer Work for Students.
Cucumber growing for pickling
often offers opportunity for profit¬
able summer work by boys and girls.
Most of the pickles are grown in
nniali fields of one or two acres be¬
cause they demand many hours of at¬
tention in the marketing season, and
labor is not often available for large
plantings. The work of gathering the
cucumbers demands patience more
than strength.
Michigan ordinarily supplies about
one-third of tiie pickles with Wiscon¬
sin in second place. Indiana, Minne¬
sota, Colorado, arid California are of
importance in the industry.
Careful preparation of the soil, fer¬
tilization, planting, thinning, cultiva¬
tion and harvesting and handling are
the principal operations. Spraying
and dusting for control of insects and
diseases are necessary in many dis¬
tricts. Careful harvesting includes re¬
moval of the small cucumbers when
they are at the size desired by the
manufacturer, and before they devel¬
op enough to deplete the vitality of
tiie vines. Picking the cucumbers
while immature results in heavy bear¬
ing and a long harvest season.
Practical Advice.
In “Growing Cucumbers for Pick¬
ling,” just published by the United
States Department of Agriculture, ns
Farmers’ Bulletin 7020-F. ,T. H. Beat
tie of the bureau of plant industry
gives simple and practical advice for
growing tbe crop. Other bulletins pub¬
lished previously give information on
cucumber growing for table and slic¬
ing cucumbers and ou cucumber cul¬
ture in greenhouses. “Cucumbers for
pickling occupy approximately 75,000
acres each season in the United
States,” says Mr. Beattie, “and the
yield has a value to the growers of
about $3,000,000 annually. Successful
growers often obtain a gross return
of $150 to $200 au acre. This is a
cash crop which is well worth atten¬
tion where it can be grown and
handled.”

Beware of Coccidiosis,
Dread Chicken Disease
‘Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on sanitary measures for the preven¬
tion of coccidiosis in chickens,” said
Dr, J. F. Bullard, Purdue university,
recently in speaking to a group of
poultrymen in Indiana. “This Is a
common disease and is the cause of
heavy losses in chicks from two to
fifteen weeks of age.
“The coccidiuni, which is the cause
of the disease, is passed in large num¬
bers in the droppings. For a time aft¬
er the organisms are passed out they
do not Infect the chicks so it is obvi¬
ous that if the houses, lots and feed¬
ers are kept clean and on lots that
have not been used for chicks before,
tbe disease can be controlled.
“Old birds and young chicks should
be kept apart, which is an important
part of the sanitation program.”

pREMIER MUSSOLINI recently de
* livered several addresses so fiery
and provocative concerning the neces¬
sity of having Italy prepared for war
that the negotiations between that
country and France for a naval limita¬
tion agreement were broken off, at
least temporarily. Some of the French
newspapers even hint at the possi¬
bility of war between France and
Italy, though the conciliatory attitude
of the French government is stressed.
On the other.hand, Deputy Gray in
a speech before the Italian chamber
of deputies, appealed to France to
make an accord with Italy so that
Europe may present a united front
against America in the future armed
struggle which he is certain will
come.

from $11,000,000 to $12,000,000 to an¬
nual costs to the government.
“I am in favor of properly dis¬

abled and are In need,” said the Presi¬
dent in his veto message. “But cer¬
tain principles are included in this
legislation which are opposed to the

Pathetic Reunion That
Has Film Outclassed
Stranger than fiction and more
moving than a film is a story which
comes from Saint Omer. France. The
scene is a cafe at Quivrechain.
Among the customers is an elderly
woman. A miner enters. He lias a
story to tell. He relates how his fa¬
ttier abandoned liis mother in this
very same village of Quivrechain in
1885, and took him to America when
lie was three years of age. His fa¬
ther died shortly after his arrival,
and lie was adopted by Boles, who
made a miner of him. Eventually
he returned to France, working in a
pit at Hensles and passing as a Po¬
lish miner. The elderly woman put
questions, and the miner was aston¬
ished when the woman jumped up
in great excitement and declared
that he was not a Pole, hut a French¬
man, and that he was her son, taken
from her 44 years ago.
OLD DOCTOR'S IDEA
IS BIG HELP TO
ELDERLY PEOPLE
In 1885, old Dr. Caldwell made a
discovery for which elderly people
the world over praise him today!
Years of practice convinced him
that many people were endanger¬
ing their health by a careless
choice of laxatives. So lie began a
search for a harmless prescription
which would be thoroughly effec¬
tive, yet would neither gripe nor
form any habit. At last be found it.
Over and over he wrote it, when
lie found people bilious, headachy,
out of sorts, weak or feverish ; with
coated tongue, bad breath, no appe¬
tite or energy. It relieved the most
obstinate eases, and jfet was gentle
with women, children and elderly
people.
Today the same famous, effective
prescription, known as Dr. Cald¬
well's Syrup Pepsin, is the world’s
most popular laxative. It limy be
obtained from any drugstore.
Course Marker Successful
Tests of the “droinograpli,” an ap¬
paratus invented by a French naval
officer for automatically marking the
true course of a ship on tiie vessel’s
chart, are reported to have been suc¬
cessful. The device indicates the
ship’s exact geographical position at
any time and also its precise course
in arriving at the location. A stylus
marks not only main changes in the
course, hut also smaller variations
resulting from the helmsman's oper¬
ation of the rudder.
Freak Addresses Barred
The Post Office department has an¬
nounced that hereafter letters bear¬
ing freak addresses will he sent to
the dead letter office if they do not
bear addresses of senders. Postal au¬
thorities in the past have been in¬
dulgent toward violations of the rule
that all letters and post cards should
bear proper addresses, but this re¬
cent decision would indicate that it
was forced by an increase of fii^St
elass matter bearing freak addresses.
