Oratorx Is lncessant

DIES MONIES, April 16.-When de- bate was resumed tonight in the Iowa house of representatives on the judi ciary committees recommendation for impeachment of Governor w. L. Hard ing, for the part in the Rathbun pardon case, it was planned to reach a final vote before adjournment
 Throughout the day, the house listenened to an incessant stream of oratory, as proponents and opponents of impeachment held their arguments. analyzing and interpreting the evidence gathered by the judiciary committee during it's three weeks investigation of the case.
 Each faction presented the same number of speakers. More than dozen spoke during the morning and after noon sessions. and similar number were expected to be heard tonight.
 There was no change tonight in the assertion of Harding supporters, that they had enough votes assured to de- ! feat the impeachment through adoption 1 of the judiciary committees minority report, recommending only censure of the chief executive. A majority, or 55 votes, are necessary for passage.
 Indications at 12: 30 a. m. were that the final vote would be taken shortly after 1 o'clock.
 From his sick bed, Governor Hard ing gave statement to the Associated Press a few minutes after he had heard of the houses action, declaring: "No man in Iowa has had to submit to more severe political persecution. am grateful to my thousands and thou. sands of friends all over the state," h, said, "and especially am I grateful tC the loyal men of the house who tough | no sobly.'

ADVICE REDUCTION OF COTTON ACREAGE

DENVER, Colo, April 16.-Removal of government restrictions on market ing for the cotton crop, and reduction in acreage planted to cotton, were urged at today's meeting of the Farm CTS Educational and Cooperative Union of America, in national conven- tion here. Speakers pointed out that 8 more diversified farming plan would aid in development of the south, which had been handicapped by confining farming operations to cotton.
 A report by the committee on cotton and cotton products, read before the convention, follows in part:
 There have been more severe re- strictions on cotton ever since the be- ginning of the war, than on any other farm product, and more of those re- strictions remain in force than on any other farm product Even today, there are restrictions on the trade with our allies. With neutrals, an allied block ade commission doles out cotton as that committee designates is their adequate need. To enemy countries, it is on cotton alone that an absolute embargo remains.
 With these facts as basis, We feel justified in asking our government to make every effort to nave these re- strictions removed at the earliest pos sible moment"
 The report also advocated a reduc- tion in the acreage of cotton deelarine that the south had been brought to industrial slavery by dependence ou one crop. The committee asked the cotton grower to reduce his cotton and erect hen house. pig pen and COW lot so that there would be other sources for income besides cotton.
 The committee report says last years cotton crop was being sold at a price below cost. It also declared the prices of the finished product was out of pro- 1 portion to the cost of raw cotton. | 1 compared a price of 26 cents a pound for cotton, with ss a pound for cottor | giEShasn. The report asserted the dff
 ference could not be explained ava!
 by the cost of manufacture.

HINES REFUSES ID
 REVERSE ATTITUDE
 OV PRICE QUESTION
Steel Quotation Will Not Impede Railroad Buying Public Should Know Im- provement Work Is Pro- ceeding.
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

CHICAGO, April 16- Walker D. Hines, directors general of railroads, addressing the National Lumber Man ufacturers' association today, said he wanted to make it clearly understood that although he had refused to accept the schedule of steel prices recently announced, after conferences of the federal, industrial board and represen- tatives of the steel industry, the rail road administration was going ahead making its necessary purchases in ev cry line of industry. 'It was not damning up" it's purchases, he said.
 The statement was called forth by R. A. Long of Kansas City, who with other members of the association dis cussed with MT. Hines the refusal to approve the steel prices. MT. Long said the position. of the railroad admin istration had led the public to believe the prices were not low enough, and that when people held up improve ments awaiting lower prices; the result would be the damning up of business.
 ''The government has obligated itself to keep up tAe scale of price main tenance equal to that during the test period before the war" said MT. Hines. ''The result is that we will have to buy more material and will have to do more work than the railroads would do under private management"
 The director general discussed the situation freely, refusing to recede from his position. His approval of the prices, he said, would be ill effect an endorsement to the American public that the prices were fair. He refused to take any such responsibility, because he had not been convinced that the prices were as low as they should be.
 Railroads Continue Buying Mir. Hines, however, accepted a sug- | gstion that the public should know which several speakers said it did not know-that the railroads were going ahead buying supplies. The director general said that tho importance of a public statement of policy with respect | to purchase had been emphasized, and added, q shall be glad to consider the ! form and manner in which that ought | to be made, because I can see the point"
 The discussion started when Mir Long, after receiving permission from Mr. Hines, to question him, asked: How do we know or, rather, more directly, how does MT. Hines know tha1 the price, as applied to steel products is not a reasonable price?'
 "The industrial board, the majority of it, believed that the steel interests would not make any lower prices,' sait | Mir. Hines. That was the real fac of it; not that the industrial board Wa. not disappointed with those prices but it believed the steel interests would not make any lower prices, and there fore it came to those prices"
 MT. Hines said he didn't believe "an!
 further discussion is going to shake thu steel interests in their position in put
 ting out the general price level, nor d. believe that any further discussion is going to shake my advisers in thei views, that that level is not so low a

Serious Charges Against Americans Made To Board of Foreign Missions - Proper Action Expected Expulsion From Service Is Looked for Soon

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Formal charges of pro-German activities by certain American missionaries in Bull garia and northern Persia have been forwarded to the American board of foreign missions by the state depart ment, it was learned today from official sources.
 These charges also involve the mis- sionaries in political activities in Per sia. The charges, together with the re- suits of investigations conducted by the state department, were sent to the American board by Assistant Secretary of State Philipps.
 Secretary Philipps said there had not been time to receive a reply from the boards headquarters in Boston, where the matter is under investigation. He expressed the belief that proper action would be taken by the board.
 The detailed charges, it was said would not be made public by the state department, officials holding that the proper course would be to allow the mission board first to complete its in vestigations and make public its findings.
 Disturbs State Department
 The state department, it was learned had been greatly disturbed by the pro- Bulgarian activities of certain Ameri- can missionaries in Bulgaria. The con duct of these missionaries, officials eX- plained. was difficult to restrain, owing to the fact that the United States and Bulgaria were not at war. Moreover, l is said, the missionaries eXerted every effort to prevent rupture between the two countries. It is known that one ot the specific charges is that the mis- sionaries used funds designed to ai6 war sufferers to further the cause oi Bulgaria, and indirectly the cause ol her allies, Germany and Austria Hungary.
 | Political activities on the part of tht missionaries in northern Persia, as wei as Bulgaria, are said to have compro missed them with the two government; and have put the United States to un- usual embarra ssment in correcting tn i evils they have worked.
 1 Unofficial reports from the board l headquarters were said today to inti- mate that severe disciplinary measure | would be taken by the organization, i 1 investigation confirms the charges filed T It shad-been hinted that several mis sionaries would be dismissed from tn 1 service.
