FRENCH HERO RUNS WILD;
FACES GRAVE CHARGE

PARIS. April 14.-sub-Lieut. Jean Ma
varre, the famous French aviator. Is
being sought by the police ON a war
rant charging him with attempted homi-
eide. Since he was wounded severely
last June, according to the Petit
Parisien, he has acted in a most &C.
centric manner. but was punished light
ly, in view of the splendid services he
had rendered his country.
Recently he had a dispute with the
police, in which he was worsted. This
appeared to anger him and a few nights
ago he set out in an automobile and
speeded through the principal streets of
Paris, knocking down every policeman
he saw. AS a result five patrolmen were
taken to hospitals and several others
were bruised severely.
The aviater's friends, the Petit Pari-
sien adds. believe that he is not fully
responsible for his acts.
Navarro is one of the most famous of
the French airmen. Officially he Is re-
ported to have brought down at least
eleven German machines, and Paris
newspapers attribute to him the de-
struction of nineteen German airplanes.
Last fall he was awarded the grand gold
medal of the French Aero Club. In Oc-
tober 1t was reported that he had been
arrested for fighting in Paris theater.

WANTS u. S. TO SUPPLY
CAPITAL FOR FARMERS
Alabama Man Proposes Plan Which
Would Require 500, 100000
and 1000, 900 Acres.

Creation of a special board to handle
a fund of 800 .o00, 900 to purchase 1.ooo,-
900 acres Of land for the use of govern
ment- backed farmers is urged by Rob
ert NJ Collins of Montgomery. Ala. Mr..
Collins has taken the matter up with
Representative Asbury Lever, who. 1t
is understood, is heartily in favor of
the plan.
Mr. Collins, in his plan. suggests that
the government build the houses OF
those who might try this back to the
country" movement. buy the necessary
stock implements. etc.
After Uncle Sam has placed the farm
er on the land Mr.. Collins proposes that.
under a national food supply board" T"
he shall be 'staked" for the first year
as to his clothing and food supply, and
at the end of the season Uncle Sam
shall give him one-half of his crops.
Under this plan Mr.. Collins says the
government can easily make 15 per cent
on its money, while at the same time 1t
will be esta bli shing food supply which
will never fail. At the end of two
of purchasing his home and farm tract
from the government, either for cash
or by annual installments covering
from five to twenty years.
One plot of 100000 acres, Mr.. Collins
AYERS, can be bought in the wheat belt.
while another can be chosen IN the corn
belt and another in the south for the
growing of other farm products. for
which it may be specially adapted-for

RATE DECISION SOON.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Expected to Act PROMPTLY.

The interstate commerce commission
is expected to act within the next few
days upon the petitions of railroads
of the country for an increase of Is
per cent in freight rates.
All proposals under consideration by
the commission favor having new rates
become effective not later than June l.
and it appears probable that any in
creases authorized will go into effect
on that date.
The railroads have placed before the
commission. after a two-day confer
ence with the tariff division of the
commission, proposals involving the
intricate technical details OF making
the proposed rates effective by sup
plement to existing tariffs. To formu-
late and print the proposed new tariffs.
giving each rate in dollars and cents.
would require months of labor.
The present plan would dispense with
that method so far as possible and.
while supplementary tariffs would be
filed, they would show plainly the new
rates in dollars and cents. a short COM
putation only being required
