II Washington, June 2a--The atti-
 tude of middle western bankers and
 financicrs toward the present busi :
 hess situation was detailed to Pres
 ident Harding at the second of his conferences of best financial minds.'' 1 A score of prominent figures in the middle western business world were the Presidents dinner guests, Iand they are understood to have giv- Ien him advice regarding the particu- lar needs of the domestic inland
 money market. The viewpoint of the international bankers group was presented at a similar dinner sew leral weeks ago.
 Although details of what occurred during the conference were held in lconfidence it was indicated that the conservation of American home trade as distinguished from expansion of exports, furnished one of the prin- cpal subjects of debate The ex- port side is said to have been em- phasized at the first dinner, where eastern bankers made up the com : lpany, and some of those present to- night are understood to have i'm pressed on the President the neces- Isity of giving adequate attention also to domestic rehabilitation
 As at the previous dinner Secre. ltary Mellon of the treasury and Sec : lretary Hoover of the commerce de- partment were among the Presidents guests

course OF his very interesting ad
dress, referred back to the time be
Tor" farm bureaus were established
throughout the state and the actvi
ties since established.
Among other things, he said we
all could remember with what ditii.
Guilty the farmers worked without
mutual cooperation. That the farm
bureau since its establishment had
changed many things in the farmers
me lie said he could remember
when even the establishment OF agri-
cultural schools was jeercd at; that
farmers thought there was no need OF
scientific farming, but now almost
everyone recognizes the assistance
those schools give the farming com.
murlty, and that the Farm Bureau is
now awakening interest in not onl /;
the school but is helpful from the mu.
tual good which arises from the closer
association Of farmers throughout
their several communities.
Mr.. Cross in his able address on
farm accounting and poultry pointed
cut the necessity for farmers to keep
careful books on everything produced,
even down to the poultry so they
could tell the actual cost each year
OF raising their crops. He spoke of
tho wonderful success that many
farmers are having in the poultry field
by reason OF more careful attention
to this very important element in
farm life.

ACCUSED EDRADICALS
OUT WITHOUT BAIL
One of Twenty Indicted With
w. b. Lloyd Believed to
BE in Russia.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW York HERArD.
CHICAGO. Sept. S.--Moves to forfeit the
bonds of-radicals recently convicted with
William Bross Lloyd. Chicago millionaire
Socialist. on a charge of conspiring to
overthrow the Government. to-day dis
closed that nine of the twenty involved
are under no bonds. At least one OF
them Is said to have fled to Russia.
The discovery resulted when Lloyd
Heth. Assistant States Attorney, went
before Judge Fitch to request that the
property schedule on the bond of Max
Bedacht member of the executive COM
mfttee OF the Communist Labor party,
be seized by the State. Bedacht, whose
home at the time of his trial was in San
Francisco. is reported to have gone to
Russia. Inquiry revealed that he gave
no bond under the indictment on which
he was tried either at his arraignment
or after conviction.
Bedacht was arrested on the blanket
indictment which charged him and the
nineteen others with sedition in violation
of the Illinois laws. He gave bonds and
scheduled property as bondsmen for
some Of the other extremists.
Before this technicalty had been no
ticed by the States Attorney the de-
PENDANTS were freed, pending action by
the Supreme Court. L was discovered
that some of Bedachts property Is listed
on the schedule of the accused men, who
are still under bond.
The oversight is similar to that at the
trial OF August Spies after the Haymar-
ket riots. capias never had been
served on Spies and he was not legally
under arrest until just before he was
hanged.
