ASKSFOR RELIEF
Farmer Brings Equity Suit
Against Collector of
City's Garbage

That Hagy brothers, city garbage
collectors, be restrained from spread
ing garbage over their siXty-acre
farm, northeast of the city, is ask
ed in bill in equity, filed in court
to-day. Charles Milford Bamber-
ger, owner of an adjoining farm,
began the action. He alleges that
spreading the garbage on the land
has become a nuisance.
He charges the stencil from the
piggery has caused sickness in his
family. adding that the orod is
unbearable, that spreading the
garbage over the land draws
flies" and that birds flock and COL
lect on the farm and have been
bothersome to him.
1t is alleged that garbage some
times is spread on land not 100 feet
away from Bamberger's ground and
that dead animals are allowed to be
on the ground where they can be
seen from the windows of the Bam-
berger diningroom and kitchen.
Hyle, Frank and Lewis Hagy are
mentioned as defendants and the
bill asks that they be permanently
restrained from spreading the decay
ing garbage over the land. The court
IS asked to compel the Hagys to paw
Bamberger any damages that he has
suffered.

The Bowman store is protected hv

1T is not that the mana gements of

SUGAR EMBARGO
BILL IS BEING
DISCUSSED TODAY
Sky-High Prices Threatened.
Committee Members
Are Told

washington, Dec. 16.--The House
Interstate Commerce Committee to-
day was to consider "a bill proposing
an embargo on all sugar exports.
Advocates of broad Government con-
troll as well as the purchase of the
Cuban crop, who were before the
agricultural committee yesterday and
winch was also to meet again to-
day, declare that "sky high prices
are threatened and that more pur-
chase of the Cuban crop would only
aid profiteers.
For the first 10 months of this
year almost billion and one-ollarter
pounds of sugar have been exported
from this country, said Representa-
tive Dallinger (Republican), Massa-
chusetts, citing the equalization
board as authority for his figures.
The only general opposition to the
bill was voiced yesterday by Repre-
sentative Martin (DemocraD, Louis
lana. who declared 1t was '.unneces-
sary' and blamed the shortage on
congressional agitation for purchase
or the Cuban crop. and the recent
longsh strike. which DELAYED
deliveries.
More Power Needed
Complete Government control of
prices and distribution of sugar Is
necessary for the protection of fam
lily consumers from profiteers. mem
bers of Congress declared yesterday
before the House Agriculture Com
mittee. At the same time, George
A Zabriskie. president of the Sugar
Equalization Board. advised the COM
mittee that continuance of the board
would be useless unless IL were given
control over prices and distribution.
These powers, President Zabriskie
pointed out in a telegram to the
committee, are not included in the
pending McNary bill.

so that people of small means might

and the government might get $780,
