MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY
DELAYS DEPORTATION
Ross Freed on Bond Pending
Disposition of Case.

MacGregor Ross, called the "man
without a country" who has been de-
tanned on Ellis Island many months as
an alien I. w. w. agitator, will be re-
leased to-day In bond pending appeal
by his lawyer. Miss Rose Weiss. to pre-
vent his deportation.
Two years ago he was sent from Sc
att to this port and the authorities de-
cided he should so to Scotland, which
they said was his native country. He
denied he was Scotch, declaring that the
earliest recollection of his life in Amer
lea was as a newsboy in the Bowery,
more than sixty years ago. The British
Consulate refused to give him passports
as a British subject and he was sent
back 20 Seattle
Last February Ross was returned to
Ellis Island with batch OF Reds, this
time accused OF distributing dangerous
communistic literature In Seattle. As
there was no proof he had been born In
Scitland and as Great Britain would not
receive him, he fingered on the island,
always encouraged by Miss Weiss In the
nope OF final release. She persuaded
Judge Grubb of Alabama, holding court
in this district, to let Ross out on bond.

GOVERNORS TO ASK
AID FOR FARMERS
Appeal Will Be Made to Con-
gress to Refund Debt Until
Better Times.
CONSIDER NEED URGENT
Gov. Allen of Kansas Favors
General Application of In
dustrial Court Plan.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec 1.-Governors
than half the States of the Union voted
during their annual conference here to-
day to begin an inquiry into what was
variossly called the acute" alarming
and tragic" situation facing farmers of
the country, with view to recommend
ing Federal legislation to assist them.
AS first step toward carrying out
their plan, which was suggested by Gov.
w. l.. Harding OF Iowa. the conference
appointed a committee consisting of
Cows. Harding. Beckett of North Caro-
lima. Holcomb of Connecticut, Parker of
Louisiana and Goodrich of Indiana to
make a preliminary survey and report
back before the close of the Governors
conference. After that 1t Is contem-
plated to send the committee to WASH
ington to urge legislation before Con-
gress.
The object of the Governors, which
Is said to be without parallel in the his
tory Of American government, is for the
organization of Governors to suggest
to Congress and actively advocate pas
sage of legislation necessary to refund
the debts of farmers who are pinched by
falling markets with heavy stocks Of
them year or more in which to re-
coup losses and wait for a strengthening
market. 1t is proposed to do this through
extension or adaptation of the Federal
reserve system.
Gov. Henry ]. Allen of Kansas rec
ommended to the conference a nation
wide extension of the method adopted
in Kansas of setting up court of indus
trial relations. He cited many oc-
casions on which he said the Kansas
court had rectified long standing wrongs
to labor and declared that experiences
in his State had proved that strife be-
tween capital and labor should be set
tied through impartial adjudication
rather than by arbitration. This method.
he asserted, will do away with the soft
handed radicals who make their living
off the quarrels they foster between
labor and it's employers"
