Edward L. wittmeyer. New

Criminal Court No. 1 this morning

q motion to quash the indictment

into an agreement to the effect that
Weisberg. then employed by the
Food Administration, who had "in-
side" information relative to mar
ket conditions as regards con-
densed milk. should impart this in

REVIVE EGG ROLL
AT WHITE HOUSE
Easter Monday Feature Is
Reinstated by
Harding.

The outlook is for the destruction
of large quantities of eggs in WASH
ington on March 2S. But nobody
regards the forthcoming economic
waste as anything to avoid with
the possible exception of White
House gardeners and lawn tenders.
The confident prophecy of destruc-
tion of this breakfast staple is made
possible by the announcement yes
terday that the grounds about the
Executive Mansion will be open on
Easter Monday for that classic
though interrupted celebration of
local kidhood-egg rolling at the
White House. President Harding
pursuing his policy of an open
door" at the official residence. has
made known that this custom, dis
continued under. the Wilson regime.
is to be resumed.
1t is expected that Mr.. and Mrs.
Harding will be interested specta-
tors of the gala affair which will be
staged, as heretofore, on the knolls
and lawns south of the grounds
butting the White House.

WALLACE SPEEDS
PLANS TO LOAN
FARMERS Cash
Agriculture, Chief VIII
Extend Aid in Drought
Areas Shortly.

One of the first oficiai acts Of
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
was to take up the considerations of
making loans to farmers in drought
stricken areas for the purchase of
seed. for which Congress recently
appropriated 100000.
The law states that the Secre-
tary of Agriculture Is autorized for
the crop of 1891, to make advances
or loans to farmers in drought
stricken areas in the United States,
where he finds that special need
for such loans to farmers in western
North Dakota and parts of Mon
tana where there was serious
drought last year Farmers in these
areas are reported to be In urgent
need of seed for spring painting,
and plans are being made with the
least possible delay by Secretary
Wallace to provide such farmers
with money at a low rate of inter-
est for the purchase of grain and
fax seed.
Leon NJ. Estabrook, chief of the
bureau of crop estimates has been
designated by the secretary to have
general supervision of the organi-
zation to make the loans, and C.
W. warburton of the Bureau of
Plant Industry. has been put in
charge OF the field organization.
Mr.. warburton will establish
headquarters at Fargo, N. Oak. and
willNissue information and instruc-
tions to extension leaders, county
agents, and other officials who will
cooperate in placing the loans.

Court o. KS Transfer
OF D0lDer Rights

The validity Of a deed of trust
which conveyed the inchoate right
of dover of Mrs. Eva Jackson Bliss
in the estate of her husband. Alonzo
o. Bliss, was upheld yesterday by a
decree signed by Justice Bailey in
Equity Court.
Shortly after Mrs. Bliss executed
the transfer. she became insane, at
torneys said, and the claim was
made in her behalf that she was
legally incapable of making the at
tempted assignments.
The court directed, with the con-
sent of the adults interested in the
transaction. that the trustees under
the deed Of trust should pay over
annually to the trustees named in
the decree the sum of $4,000 for the
support and maintenance of Mrs.
Bliss during her lifetime. The court
appointed Charles c. Tucker and G..
Thomas Dunlop as trustees for the
fund to be paid Mrs. Bliss and fixed
their bond at $4,000.

CITY CLUBS new

Over Hundred Business
Men on Committee
For Project.

A committee on ways and means
for the erection OF sthe new City
Club home on the south side OF C
street between Thirteenth and Four
teenth northwest has been ap-
pointed by J. A. Whitfield. president
OF the club, upon authorization OF
the Board of Governors.
The committee is composed of 126
prominent business and professional
men, with whitefield as chairman
and Thomas Bones and Eugene G..
Adams as vice chairman.
A dinner meeting of the commit
tee will be held at $50 next Tues
day evening at the club TO consider
alternate plans for the develop
ment of the G street building pro-
ject The board of governors will
meet Monday night and will sub
init q report. with possibly a for
NAL recommendation, to the ways
and means committee meeting on
Tuesday.
Oficers of the club feel confident
that plans now forming will make
certain the early erection of the
new club. No definite program has
yet been approved. One of the
suggestions is that a four-story
structure, with stores on the first
floor. extensive club facilities on
the second and third floors. and
an immense gymnasium and audi
torium on the fourth floor, be
erected. This suggestion has the
advantage that the plan could be
easily financed.
