HARVEST PROBLEM SULUilUN
Crawford Would Run Special For
Harvest Labor from Cities

Topeka, Aug. 31.-John II. Craw-
ford, member of the court of indus
trial relations and federal employ
nIent director for Kansas, believes
he has solution fer the harvest
labor problem. AS the representa-
tive from this state he will present
his plan at the ninth annual meeting
of the International Association of
Public Employment Services, to be
held in Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 10.
at is comparatively easy to find
any number of good men willing to
work in the Kansas harvest fields,
but the transportation problem Is yet
to be solved" Judge Crawford said
today. "The wheat grower cannot
afford to pay the harvest wages de-
manded and in addition pay trans
portation of 500 to 1000 miles, and
unless n remedy can be found the
producer will reduce his acreage un-
til his immediate family and local
hlcp can save the crop"
His plan briefly, is to have con-
tract with the railroads to run char
vest labor specials" from the cities

MULE GETS FINE OF SIS
Booked For Blocking Traffic After
Refusing TO Get on Tracks

New York, Aug. 31.---John Doe, a
SOmnOlent mule, was yesterday
fined $25 for obstructing traffic in
Jersey City.
John wandered from his home
early yesterday morning and lay
down for nap on the street car
tracks. The first car that came
along tried to bulge him off the
right Of way by the simple exped-
lent Of running the car against
him. Nothing doing. Then the crew
and passengers belabored the mule
with canes and varigated profanity
with no results.
After fifteen minutes, ten cars
were tied up and the combined ef-
forts of ten motormen, ten conduc-
tors and nu erous volunteers
brought nothing from the recumbent
mule but an occasional kick of an
noyancc. Finally, the mule was
roped and hog tied, rolled onto a
wrecking car and conveyed to the
Ocean avenue station where 1t was
booked as "John Doe" and charged
with obstructing traffic. The own
er will have to pay the fine of $25
before he gets his mule.

men will agree that it is worth 2A
million dollars to know about a
wedding and not mention it to a
soul. Mrs. Beatrice Provost Nugent
says she was to receive $4,000, 900
for her silence regarding the mar
riage of her uncle, William E.
Smith, and she has brought suit to
restrain him from removing from
safety deposit boxes bonds and
mortgages that are part Of the 5
million dollar estate he inherited
from his mother, Mrs. Roxy M.
Smith.
Six days before his mothers sud-
den death, Mrs. Nugent declares in
her suit, Smith secretly married
Miss Claire Staley, an actress, who
did not meet with his mothers ap-
roval. Had she known Of this mar
riage she would have changed her
will, so Smith is said to have prom
ised Mrs. Nugent half the estate If
she would keep silent about it.

Of whether it was this years crowd
