Seaplanes to Asbury Park
TO Warn Veterans Not To
BE s'Peace-Time SIackers''

ASBURY PARK, Sept. 15.-A declara-
ton that Eugene v. Debs "is Just where
he belongs" was cheered for several
minutes here to-day by the 500 dele
gates to the third annual convention of
the New Jersey Department of the
American Legion. The demonstration
came during an address by Alvin C..
Owsley, chairman of the Legion's Ma
tional Commission on Americanism.
1--WE had rather turn out Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll with clean bill Of
health" Owsley insisted. "than to free
the insidious Debs. The reason is
obvious. Debs has following Of
100000 persons in this country and
his un-Americanism has clutched them
like a contagious disease. Bergdoll is
just one miserable traitor.
"Debs must be kept in prison, and
you must demand it. Likewise you also
must demand that the United States
bring Bergdoll back and put him be-
side Debs."
Colonel George Harvey, American
Ambassador to England, also came in
for criticism by Owsley because of
the speech in which it was declared
her skin"
Refers to Unemployment
Chairman Owsley said that between
half a. million and a million ex-service
men were out Of work in the United
States and that if the Legion deserts
them now it will be las guilty as if
they had been deserted in the face Of
German machine guns"
Colonel ThpndOre Ro0seveJt Assiat-
ant Secretary of the Navy, also was a
speaker. He came to Asbury Park
from the capital in a seaplane and re-
turned early this afternoon, making the
round trip in less than seven hours.
He urged the veterans to keep alive
their interest in the government re-
gardless of their POLITICAL beliefs and
not to become peace time slackers"
Most of the opening day was given
over to the reading of reports, no
official action being taken on any of
are concerned. That will come to-
morrow.
1t did become known, however,
through the report of the state ad-
jutant, that New Jerseys Legion mem
bership was reduced in the last year
1000 members, the total now being
21 1864. The reason for this, it was de-
clared, was the lack of funds with
which to carry on. membership cam
paigns
Interest in Election
AS remedy for this situation the
convention probably will instruct its
delegates to the national convention at
Kansas City to fight for reduction of
the national dues from 81 member to
rs cents a member. The adjutant de-
clared that the national organization
was deriving sufficient revenue from
it's emblem division and the American
Legion weekly to permit this reduction.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune

ALBANY, Sept Is. = Adjutant Cen
eral J. Leslie Kincaid to-day disband-
ed the personnel of the State Soldier
Bonus Commission. Of which he was the
head. This action was taken pursuant
to the decision recently handed down
by the Court of Appeals holding the
soldier bonus law, as passed by the re-
cent Legislature, invalid because it con-
fiicts with Constitutional provisions.
The records of the commission" E"
said General Kincaid will be filed with
the Adjutant Generals office and kept
there until the day comes when they
may be of use again"
The adjutant general probably will
attend both the State Republican Con-
vention in Syracuse next Thursday and
the meeting of the State American n
Legion in Jamestown later in the week
At both of these assemblies the bonus
question will be taken up and sugges-
tions for cam paign advanced.

Picture Theater O,Uners
DeplOre Condemnation
Ask Judgment on ArbuckIe Be
Delayed; Protest Against In
diCfnlent of KhOIe Industry

The National Organization Of the Mo-
tjon Picture Theater Owners of Amer.
ica declared its neutrality yesterday in
the Arbuckle affair, and asked the nub-
lie to withhold Judgment until the case
was ended and to refrain from making
this single instance ground for crit
icism of the entire profession.
1t announced also that, although one
distributing company had revived an
old film in which Virginia Rappe had
minor part, the theater owners organ
!zatlon had ruled against the exhibition
of any films in which either Miss Rappe
or Arbuckle appeared.
The organization said in a statement
given out that it had every confidence
in the integrity of the authorities who
had Arbuckle's case in charge, and be-
lieved that he would be prosecuted as
impartially IS any other defendant
the Indictment hastily and unthink-
ingly made against the entire motion
picture industry because of this most
unfortunate occurrence. Not so long
since, when a minister of the gospel
was charged with a heinous crime, no
one ever thought, and very properly
so; that it cast a reflection upon ali
those distinguished gentlemen of the
cloth, nor yet when one of Americas
foremost bankers played an important
part in a sensational domestic contro-
versy did the public look with suspi-
cion upon the entire banking interests.
And so we might recount instances in
every profession and every industry
known to the civilized world and find
exact analogies.
"Our motion picture theater owners
are modest. industrious family men of
the highest type of citizenship in this
country, which is evidenced even in the
smallest hamlet by the respect in which
they are held. The industry at large is
made up of the best executive minds,
the greatest artists and the best me-
chanics, and it is high time they were
accorded that same fairness and justice
that is so freely given to men in every
other walk of life

BY "depositing" the body is meant

dertaker said. Miss Gatlin. a writer
and friend of Miss Rappe, asked per-
mission to accompany the body from
this city to Los Angeles.
Miss Gatlin also received telegram

AMERICAN FARMERS
 DECREASE PRODUCTION

Washington. January 27.-tSp ,ial) The value of farm crops of 1920 and of the farm animal products and anil mals sold and slaughtered. as finally determined by the bureau of crop es- inmates, United States departm ,nt of agriculture, is s1s,S56, ,00o, 900, pr $5,- 05,000,000 below the total of 1s19 to crops, among which the chief de- clines in value are: Corn. 1862. 900, : 900; cotton lint and seed, $1.300, o00,- 900; wheat $S54, 900, 900; hay, tame and wild, $325.O00.00O tobacco s24S0 000, %, and oats, $161, 900, 900.
 On the other hand as many as 10 crops gained. ill value, chief of which are oranges, with gain of s32 000,- 900. and sugar beets, $24,000 900. Other items of gain are: Cabbage. S11,000, = 900; cowpeas. $10,0o0,o00 sorghum cane sold and syrup made, $7,000, 000 Small gains were made by soy pelns. sugar beet seed. maple sugar and syrup and onions. Apparently, the products of the farm wood lot nave gained s223, 000.000 in value in the comparison with 1919
 After offsetting gains aga' 1st
 osses, the net crop value reduction in 1920 below 1919 is s4,S6S, 900, 900. while only $2S7.000,000 is found in The total of farm animal products and farm animals sold and slaughtered srhe wool decline is as yet unrealized, but it is reckoned at s37,000,000. Of fhe animals sold and slaughtered the decline for cattle and calves is s223,- 100000. and for swine, $427 900, 900. But on the other side of the accoant. dairy products gained s311 100000, and poultry raised and eggs produced. $160, 100000
 It is the rule that in the upward and downward movements of pric .s. farm animal products lag behind crops. So extreme was the lag in the price of animals and animal products ir 1920 on account of the extraorli- nary fall in the prices of crops witilin a short period of time, that the tctal crop value of 1920 is reckoned to be only 56 per cent of the total value Of all farm products. Tn the estimates for long period of years this IS the first crop value estimate that ;as fallen below 60 per cent of the total of all products
