FIGHT QUARANTINE
ON INDIANA CORN
AT CAPITOL MEET
Experts and State Agricul-
tural Officers in Session
at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Opposi-
ton to any general extension of the
existing federal quara milne against
the European corn borer, now prev
alent in New England, was practi-
cally unanimous among experts,
state agricultural officers and repre-
sentatives of agricultural and COM
mercial associations who appeared
Monday at a special hearing on the
subject called by the federal horti-
cultural board. The chairman of
the board announced it's decision
would be made shortly, in the form
of a recommendation to the secre-
tary of agriculture.
While the entomologists and Off
Gals agreed that the borer was a
serious menace to the western corn
belt. toward which it has travelled
during the past season
from the centers of infection origin
ally confined to an area around BoS-
ton. it was generally asserted that
regional quarantine barring all ship
ments likely to contain the insect
from a territory including all the
northeast quarter of the United
States as far west as the Indiana
western state line would be too dras-
tic to be effective and enforceable.
The present quarantine restricts
out Of Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire, New York and Pennsyl-
vania OF oat and rye straw. spinach,
beets with tops and a number of
other vegetables. Nearly ali wit.
nesses agreed that maintenance of
the present quarantine barrier, with
closer inspection, and the establish
ment Of new local quarantine terri
tories further west in Ohio and Mi
chigan, where borer infestation is
suspected. would be alb etter solu-
ton of the situation than would a
general extension of the quarantine
area.

CLEVELAND, O.. Oct. 1.-THE
case Of Marian McArdle, 20 year old

father, was given to the jury late
Monday. AS the nine men and three
women balloted, Miss McArdle sat
in her cell at the county Jail, read

In his charge to the jury, Judge
Homer G. Powell instructed il to re-
turn one of four verdicts- first de-
gree murder without mercy; first de-
gree murder with mercy, second de-
gree murder or acqufttal.
Pale and weary, Miss McArdle lis

LOANS TO WORKERS
URGED BY LEWIS
TO RELIEVE PINCH
President of Mine Workers
Says Method Would Make
National Prosperity.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Govern-
ment loans to workers temporarily
out of jobs estimated to involve an
outlay of not more than $2,50O,OOO,
600, was suggested TO the national
conference on unemployment as an
emergency measure today by John
l.. Lewis, president or the United
Mine Workers of America. The sug-
gestion was made in a statement
setting forth a number of proposed
remedies for existing conditions.
The leader of the miners also urg-
ed an impartial investigation by the
government to determine the facts
of wage defiation and profit defia-
tion," establishment of reserve labor
funds from profits by employers and
government control of the coal in
dustry. Extension of government
credit to men and women temporar-
lily idle, Mr.. Lewis contended, would
afford immediate unemployment re-
lief and would absorb less than ten
percent of the available credits Of
the banking system of the country.
Through the availability of these
credits the SELF respect ana dignity
OF the workers would be maintain
ed" Mr.. Lewis said. by the use
of the credits, the purchasing power
of our people would be greatly ex-
banded and this in turne would re-
vive trade and industry and reduce
unemployment.
Credit has thus been extended to
the farmer, the producer of raw ma
terials and to the exporters. Labor
is our most important factor in pro-
duction and the success OF our self
governing rejublic and our demo-
cratic institutions and ideals is fund
amentally dependent on the living
standards and economic welfare Of
Our workers. The success of in
dustry and trade as we'll as public
policy itself, therefore. point to the
wisdom of these credits
If" he continued, at is estab-
lished that labor is inflated and re-
quires defiation, 1 am sure labor will
agree 10 such a policy provided the
business representatives will agree
to a proper deflation of profits Of the
fact shows that the fault lies with
them"
