When James Jay Gordon. jr., as

petition for a writ of habeas cor

When the order was made last
Friday an appeal was at once taken

whether this action acted as a stay
of proceedings was discussed 1t
was finally decided to take out the
writ to decide the question.
The case has been widely dis

been one of the most interesting of
its kind from the technical legal
point OF view in recent years. There

MARYLAND FARMERS
FEAR TOMATO GLUT

Baltimore, Aug. 16.-With many
of the States tomato canneries fac
ing the prospect of remaining idle
this year unless the growers soon
agree to sell their product at a
price which the Gamers deem con-
sistent with their profitable opera
tion, and with the prevalent short
age of containers alone reducing
an otherwise normal pack in this
State of 100000 cases of tomatoes
by about 80 per cent. which in itself
means a big surplusage in the raw
product, the outlook at present is
very gloomy both for the growers
and packers.
In the meantime, with the prob
ability of tomato glut looming
up in the immediate foreground,
there appears to be no executive
machinery provided for among the
farmers which can be set in motion
to equalize distribution in the event
of the farmers and packers failing
to get together" so that general
market conditions might be stab
ilized.
