CONGRESS- MUST ACT ID AID FAR M RS IS SOUTHERN VIEW
Effort to Confine Coming Ses- sion to Appropriation Meas ureS Will Meet Bitter
 Opposition
Fly HUGH W. ROBERTS w. shington Bureau The Age-Heraid,

800 Davidson Building. .
 Washing gton, November A.-(Special)-- Congressional action confined exclusively to appropriation measures, i'll accord ance with the programme as outlined by Senator Lodge, republican leader of the Senate, and Speaker Gillette of the House, will be bitterly opposed by representa- lives of agricultural sections, it, was made plain here today.
 Westerners who have seen the bottom of the wheat market collapse and southern CTS who have noted the distressing de- pression of the price of cotton. are in- sistent that Congress take some action for the relief of the farmers. and take such action quickly. Southern and west ern senators will confer as to a pro- gramme in the immediate future. The resurrection of the war finance corpora ton, an amendment making it mandatory on the federal reserve Board to extend aid to food producers in time Of crisis, ana tariff legislation protecting agricultural products are looked upon with favor.
 Senator Heflin of Alabama, who ar rived today. and Senator Dial of South Carolina, after an informal conference, informed newspaper correspondents that "something would be done for the reiier of the farmers at the ensuing session.
 Senator Dial would require the Seas- ury department and the federal reserve board to make foreign markets available through the extension of longtime credit. Senator Heflin. while admitting that the refusal of the treasury to loosen up seriously distressed tho cotton farrsers, declined to discuss that feature in de- tail.
 'The south is playing the game prop erly," he said. The farmer is not selling his cotton. He is receiving the co-opera- ton of the banker and the merchants lf he persists Tn withholding his staple, the price will return to 3-cent basis. There is no question but that his produc, has been appreciated by professional ma nipulators.''
 Senator Dial sustained Senator Heflin' S statement respecting the determination of farmers to withhold cotton from the market He declared belief that such tao ties if persisted in would force up the price of cotton, as in his opinion there is not sufficient cotton to satisfy the de- inand.

BOTH CAMPS ACTIVE

Dublin. November A.-Dublin, long ac- customed to tragedy, has settled back with two days of outward calm, which has, however, an indefinable and un- healthy quality cloalling much behind the scenes. and there is activity in both camps.
 While the daylight hours pass almost without incident the curfew has come to be the signal for the crown forces to commence unceremonious raiding of all sorts of premises, the seizure of any wanted documents and arrest of sus- pected persons. These arrests are becom- ing almost indiscrimnate. in most cases the detention ends after an examination at headquarters which shows absence of connection with the republican move ment.
 As no class of residences, even the first class hotels, is exempt from these searches there has been a marked dim mutton of cross-channel traffic and an almost total cessation of tourist arrivals

CORN INCREASES
WHILE TOBACCO DE-
CREASES IN STATE
November Crop Report For Kentucky
Shows Considerable Shortage
OF Tobacco From Last
Year.

Kentucky's 1920 tobacco crop is
estimated at 42O, O,75O,oOO pounds, corn
96,624,00O bushels and potatoes g.
$4,000 bushels in the November crop
report for Kentucky issued today at
Louisville and Frankfort by the U. s.
Bureau Of Crop Estimates in co-opera-
tion with State Commissioner Of Agri-
culture w. c. Hanna. Other crops re-
ported for Kentucky are: sweet pota-
toes. 1,6SO,O0O bushels, apples $780,
900 bushels, pears 100000 bushels,
clover seed $500 bushels, and sor-
ghum sirup 2,SSS.OOO gallons. 4 Last
year Kentucky's production pf these
crops was: tobacco 456, 500 900 pounds,
corn S2,500,0OO bushels, potatoes g.
100000 bushels, sweet potatoes $780,
900 bushels. apples 1,4S0,0OO bushels; (;
pears 12S,000 bushels, clover seed, 49,
900 bushels and sorghum sirup 2,542.-
900 gallons.
The decrease in tobacco production
in Kentucky from 1919 is due to de-
creased acreage in Western Kentucky
which was not fully offset by the in
creased hurley acreage The damage
by rust and "wildfire" also helped
slightly to reduce the average yield
per acre. Quality of tobacco in Ken
lucky is reported as so per cent COM
pared to 81 per cent. last year. The
United States tobacco crop this season
is estimated at 1,476,444,OOO pounds
compared to i'sss.45s,oOO pounds last
year.
1t is estimated that approximately
per cent Of Kentucky's acreage OF
corn was put into silos this season
tthe average yield per acre being about
| tons. There was comparatively lit
tie frost damage to corn IN this state
but some is now being reported a:
chaffy and not well matured. The av
erage yield per acre this year in Ken
| lucky is 301s bushels, compared to 2!
bushels last year and a 10-year aver
age of 271s bushels.

RED CROSS ROLL
CALL IS ANSWERED
BY THOUSANDS
Campaign for Re-Enllstment Of An.
nual Members Is Now In Progress
Many Are Joining.

The Fourth Roll Call of the Ameri-
can Red Cross is on. 1t began Armis-
tice Day, and will continue through
Thanksgiving Day. November 25.
In the national enrolment 1O,5O0,-
900 members are sought whil in Lake
Division Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky-a
membership of 100000 is the goal.
In order to carry out its vast peace
program, which embraces tasks of
great magniture both at home and in
foreign lands, the Red Cross needs the
united support of the American peo-
pie.
Europe is looking to the Red Cross
for relief during the coming winter,
when cold and hunger again will
menace thousands, particularly in the
impoverished countries of'the east
Hundreds of thousands of children
In Eastern Europe are dependent upon
outside relief and great numbers will
die during the winter unless assist
ance in some measure Is extended.
Just as the Roll Call opens word
comes of the death in South Russia Of
Captain Emmett Fitzpatrick of the Red
Cross at the hands of the Bolsheviki
during cavalry raid.
This illustrates, in striking way,
the self-sacrificing. service the Red
Cross Is performing and how its work
ers are laying down their lives in the
line Of duty.
Maintenance of the Disaster Relief
Service, to which many in Lake Di-
vision owe debts Of gratitude; devel-
opment of the Public Health Nursing
Service and Health Centers and exten-
sion Of Home Service work are some
Of the tasks faced at home.
To what extent the Red Cross will

GREATEST TRl
ROBBERY IN
CENTURY Rep.

Route From San FrOncisco Min.
To Washington Treasury \
Last Night.

Omaha, NebA November 15.--Three
men are under arrest at Council
Bluffs, Iowa, today In connection with
the robbery Of s1,2O0,OOO from Bur-
lington fast mail train. Two of the
men held are mail clerks who say they
believe that they know who robbed

shipment of gold coin from the U. s.
mint at San Francisco to the U. s.
Treasury in Washington. In addition
there was a vast quantity Of currency,
bonds and registered mail. 1t Is de-
clared to be the biggest train robbery
in rs years.
The gold car was placed in the CEN
ter of the fast train to Chicago and
was securely locked and bolted when
1t left this place. When the train drew
up at Council Bluffs postal clerk
attempted to enter the car, but found
that the door was locked from the in
side. He summoned aid and broke
down the door, The interior Of the
car was in disorder and almost empty.
a. window on one side of the car had
been broken and it is believed that the
gold and mail bags were thrown
through this window while the train
was in motion.
Evidence that automobiles waited
beside the tracks has been found. In
spectors are investigating a report
that the gold was taken to the Mis-
souri, River and loaded on a motor
boat.
