New Gerrymandering Bill Simila. to
One Suspended, Passed in
House by Party Vote.

Jefferson City, July 13.-rhe low
er house of the Missouri legislature
Wednesday, by a party vote, passed
another bill gerrymandering judicial
circuits of the state, which is similar
to the measure suspended through
the referendum by the Democratic
state committee. All of the Repub-
licans voted for it. All Democrats
opposed it.
Representative Elmer of Dent
county, author Of the bill, placed a
peace, health and safety" clause m
the measure in an effort to prevent
another referendum against the ger
rymander.
The new bill provides that tho
gerrymander shall not become effect
i've until the present circuit Judges
have completed their terms on Janu-
airy I, 1923. 1t is certain that legal
tangle will arise over the passage of
the second gerrymander bill, for the
attorney general has held the legisla-
tire cannot enact similar bill sus-
pended by the referendum.

Protest Seizure Of Ships Under Dry
Law.

Washington, July I4.-Protests
against enforcement by customs OF
ficials of the section of the Volstead
prohibition enforcement act which
subjects to seizure foreign vessels
coming within the three-mile limit
with liquor aboard are reaching the
State Department, it was learned to-
day from representatives of interna-
tional steamship lines. Inquiries
also have come from various en-
bassies and legations, said to indi-
cate that foreign governments were
becoming concerned at threatened
interference with their shipping.
1t has been pointed out that a
British ship bound from Halifax to
Jamaica could not put into Hampton
roads or any American port for fuel
or supplies without risk of seizure.
If she carried spirits in her cargo,
under the construction which has
been given to the law by the recent
decision Of Attorney General Daugh-
erty. affirming an opinion of hsi pre-
decessor.

Blames Depression Upon Forces set
in Motion by POST War Boom.

Chicago, July Is.-Herbert Hoov-
er, secretary of commerce, Friday
placed most of the blame for pres
ent business depression upon forces
set in motion by the postwar boom.
! The government is Using sanity and
caution" to aid business recovery, he
said, and is sure of success in cor
recting many economic handicaps
now evident. Hoover made an adj
dress before the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards.
This is the thirteenth industrial
depression we have suffered since the
Civil war;" the secretary said. "We
have come through the IL Others all
right. We have today greater re-
sources and no less courage, skill
and intelligence than when we Inc:
these disasters before.
I'VE do have forces working in
the country of quality never ex-
perienced. First, we have now pro-
vided financial system that has
saved us from the terrible destruction
OF a monetary panic that would 9TH
erwse have accompanied so tremen-
dous fall in values. Second, we
have higher sense of service, a
widespread willingness to give aid to
the injured in business.
Thousands OF firms, whose cases
seemed hopeless months ago are on
the road to safety. From the war
we have to recover many losses and
to change our productive forces in
accordance with the economic shifts
in the world.
Spreading over all this, however,
lies the fact that this depression is to
a great degree born of the malevolert
forces we set in motion by initiation
and by all booms.
I'VE must suffer period of duress
from war and punishment for the
boom until we rebuild our virtues of
hard work, frugal living, more saw
ing. sober conduct and higher hon.
esty. There are few people who
will not accept these hard facts who
will persist in the notion that they
ran, by various devices, avoid reap
ing what they have sowed.
The resistance of few groups of
or dealers to lowering |
prices to the general level; the re-
sistance of few groups of workers
70 accommodation of their wage to
he decreasing cost of living and the
necessity for better days work; the
refusal of some people to curtail their
all contribute to our
They, delay recovery and
to unemployment among
he rest of us"
Secretary Hoover said he had rec
rds showing that in most manufac-
lring establishments efficiency has
increased from 20 to 80 per cent dur
,g the last IL months. He said the
armers are making extraordinary e.
orts this year and will produce this
ears crops at much less tran last
ears cost.

Farm Debts Are Doubled.

Washington. D. c., July I7.-Mort-
gage debts of American farmers more
than doubled in the decade between
1910 and 1870, it was reported today

in mortgage charges against farms
owned by their operators was 1926
per cent, or from $I.72o.I72,8s1 in
1910 to $4yoI2,7II.aI3 in 1920.
The mortgages amounted in ro2o to
2or per cent of the value of the
farms against debts Of s7.3 per cent
of the values in 1910. The values Of
the farms in 1927. the report said,

PRISON CONVICTS USED
BY GOVERNOR HYDE TO
FURNISH DANCE MUSIC
Use of Convict Band by Hyde Causes
Breaking of Another
Precedent.

| Members of local labor unions and
musicians especially are considerably
agitated over the use of the prison
band and orchestra to furnish music
for entertainments at the Executive
Mansion by Governor Hyde, says the
Missouri State Joural.
Use of the prison musicians at the
Mansion breaks precedent in the
history of the state since all former
Governors have employed orchestras
composed of union musicians either
from this city, St. Louis or Kansas
City, and Governor Hyde's action is
causing considerable comment as
result of this precedent having been
broken.
The prison musicians were. used at
the Mansion to play for dance
given by the Governor last week and
again this week for an entertainment
given to members of the Legislature
on the date of the executives forty
fourth birthday.
Other criticism being heaped upon
the Governor is because of the use
of prison inmates for house servants
at the Mansion and the fact that
life-termer, Charlie Fromme, has
been selected by the Governor as his
chauffeur. Fromme, regardless of the
law requiring convicts to wear prison
suits, is attired in citizens clothing
and goes from place to place in per-
Torrance of his duties.
1t has been a custom to use prison
inmates for work on the lawn at the
Mansion and for repair work but
never have convicts been used as
house servants. 1t is claimed that
at the dance given by the Governor
were found in the check
rooms where guests left their hats
and wraps.
The convicts employed at the Man.
sion follow, together with the crime
Tor which they were convicted
Jess Bailey, Macon County, as
sault to kill.
