baby's whimper rose in Justice Sid
dons' courtroom yesterday. where a
jury was trying to unravel skein
of jealousy. family prejudice and
yengeful desires through the lips OF
an interpreter.
The hint from the blue blanket
wrapped bundle was promptly OBJ
served by the mother sitting in the
defendants chair and she brought
him out into the hall. The father
standing in the hall tremblingly took
the baby from his mothers arms while
she was making ready to feed him
This was the first time the father had
ever held the month-old infant and

toll of lives in the District. although
the number of deaths decreases with

Eleven deaths were recorded at the
local health department last night

the health authorities that the death
rate will soon drop to normal unless
there is some unforeseen bareback.
Despite the waning of the epidemic,

PEANUT CROP
DAMAGED BY
HEAVY RAINS

Damage to the peanut crop of Es-
Gambia county, from the recent heavy
rains, will run into several thousand
dollars. Early estimates from County
Demonstration Agent Fulford placed
loss at $1,000. but this has been greatly
diminished and it is thought that the
crop will not suffer more than $4,000
at the most.
Peanuts, for the first time in the
history of the county. have been extern
sively grown this year and a bumper
crop, amounting in value to a pos
sible $4,000 is expected.
The warning will be sent far and
near that the crops must be closely
watched during the rainy season and
the heat which follows. Peanuts must
be harvested as soon as there is any
visible sign of sprouting, Mr.. Fulford
will advise the farmers, or all previous
efforts will have been in vain.

SENATE FOLLOWED
HOUSE EXAMPLE
Unexpected Obstacles Developed
in Last Hours Over Pro-
visions for Youths.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Congress late
today enacted the manpower bill,
bringing within the army draft all mals
citizens from eighteen to forty five
years of age, and sent 1t to the prese-
dent for his signature.
The senate, following the houses
: example, yesterday adopted at confer
. ence a report on the bill without roll
/, call.
Unexpected obstacles developed in
! the path through congress of the bill.
Criticism of the conference draft.
adopted yesterday in the senate began
in the senate almost after the bill was
received from the lower house, but
its approval by the senate later today
was regarded as assured. Necessity
for legislation to supplement the bills
provisions for alloting homesteads to
men under 21 was another obstacle.
Reports regarding plans for free ed
ucation of youths drafted drew sharp
attacks from many senators, mostly
Republicans. A published article re-
garding the war departments alleged
educational program, stating that 400
colleges were to be taken over by the
government. was denounced by some
as a socialistic and paternal play.
Chairman Chamberlain and Senator
Whdesworth of New York, members OF
the military committees said they
doubted whether such action IL plaO-
ned, and Several senators said they
believed the bilrs provisions for spe-
cial and technical training for drafted
youths will be used merely to enlarge
the present training educational sys-
tenn.
Action by the senate on the confer
ence report also was delayed because
of interior department objections to
the amendment of Senator Fall of New
Mexico. providing for homestead grants
to youths under 81. To avoid recon-
mitting the bill, arrangements were
for simultaneous enactment of a spe-
cial resolution, meeting land office OBJ
jections. providing that lands granted
or homestead rights, while conferred
when the men may be absent, cannot
be sold or transferred until after resi-
dence upon the homesteads. This is
designed to prevent speculation in sol
diers homestead rights.
