TO STUDY FARM CREDITS
National Farmers Congress
Indorses Plan to Send Two
From Each State Abroad.

NEW ORLEANS, November 9.-One of
the chief questions of interest to the 500
delegates attending the thirty-second an
nual convention Of the National Farmers
Congress is that relating to farm credits.
Resolutions are in the .hands Of a COM
mittee proposing that national commits
sion be sent to Europe next year to study
the farm credit systems Of France and
Germany. The resolutions indorse those
adopted by the Southern Commercial Con-
gress providing that the commission con-
sist of two farmers from each state.
The committee is expected to report Mon
day.
Opposition to the proposed merger OF
the National Farmers Congress and other
associations of agriculturists into an
organization to be known as the United
States Country Life Federation Is under
stood to have won in committee. 1t was
said today that members OF the farmers
congress did not want their organization
to lose it's name, and that the report OF
the committee would be unfavorable.
Urges Credit System.
AT the morning session of the con-
gress, Harvie Jordan. founder of the
Southern Cotton Growers Association,
urged the establishment of credit sys-
tenn for American farmers. He said the
rate of interest paid by farmers is about
twice that paid by industrial corpo: ations
despite the circumstance that securities
offered by soil workers are eQua. .ly good
or better than those given by the cor
porations.
Wi.let NJ. Hays, assistant secretary Of
the Department Of Agriculture, argued
for education Of the farmer and better
ment Of conditions in agricultural COM
munities as the best method of improv-
ing the race.

Candidates Announced for the
Office of United States
Attorney in District.

One of the plums which the democrats
expect to pluck in the District Of Colum-
bia is the Office of United States attorney
for the District. and already, it was said
today, number of the democratic mem
bers of the local bar are in the race foI
the appointment,
Prominent among these candidates is
James s. Easily Smith, who is said to
have the backing of National Committee
man for the District John F. Costello
Mr.. Easby-Smith was an assistant to the
United States attorney for the District
when the Office was held by Mr.. Baker.
He was also at one time employed in the
Department of Justice.
Others in the Race.
Another candidate who is being men
toned is Conrad H. Syme, and it is un-
derstood that Mr.. Syme will have the
support of Henry E. Davis. who Is promi-
nent among local democrats and himself
at one time United States attorney for
the District.
Others who are said to be candidates
for the office are John e. Laskey, who
was assistant district attorney un0er Mr..
Davis; CharIes T. Hend.er, William J..
Neale, who was formerly secretary of

DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL
Assured of Member From
Oregon, They Have Majority
in the Senate.

With latest returns from Oregon indi-
eating that the democratic candidate for
United States senator. Harry Lane. has
been elected, the control of the Senate
for two years after March 4 next was
clinched by the democrats. They will
have forty-nine votes out of a possible
ninety-six, or one more than half.
1t seems likely their strength will be
further increased by the election OF a
democratic senator from Tennessee. and
they will be able, therefore, to muster
fifty votes for party measures.
Republicans, both regular and pro-
gressive, probably will number forty
six They are absolutely assured Of
forty-one. and they are likely to cap
ture all five OF the seats still in doubt
two from Illinois and one each from.
Michigan, South Dakota and Wyoming.
The greatest doubt exists as to Illinois.
The democrats lack about six votes Of
having a majority of the legislature,
the republicans and progressives have

suggested. might choose one republican

IN METAL poi
Great Excitement Caused by
Blast at Douglas Brass
Works.

The report of an exploding metal pot at
the Douglas brass works, 1910 e street
northwest, shortly after 1 o'clock this
afternoon. caused great excitement. The
deputy chief of the fire department, the
third battalion chief and a number of
companies responded to the fire alarm.
Little damage was DONE
Charles Federline, who stood near the
metal pot when the explosion occurred,
had narrow escape. and his son, Wal
ter. also standing close to the pot, barely
escaped serious injury.
Mr.. Federline was unable to offer any
explanation. He said he was approach
ing the pot when the explosion occurred.
1t is thought that the explosion was due
to damp metal or water getting in the
melting pot and generating gas.
Pieces Of the demolished pot were
hurled against the ceiling with force
enough to break the plaster
The explosion was heard some distance
from the foundry. and a large crowd of
spectators soon gathered.
The damage done probably will amount
to less than $1OO
