Russia Needs $4,000, 600
Blu. Grain, Hoover Finds
Report Made by Special In
vestigator Shows Farmers on
Volga Face Starvation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.--America
must come to the relief of the famine
areas OF Russia with about $4,000, 900
bushels of grain, or hundreds of thou
sands of people will starye, former
Governor James P. Goodrich, of In
diana, reported to-day to Secretary
Hoover.
Mr.. Goodrich has returned from a
six weeks survey of conditions in the
Lower Volga valley, undertaken at the
request of Mr.. Hoover.
"The situation is exceedingly seri-
ous," Mr.. Goodrich said .On account
of drought and the failure of wheat
and rye crops, 25,000,00O Russian
farmers are faced with a famine, and
many hundreds of thousands of them
will starve unless help is extended at
very early date.
"The only hope of these people is
that America will furnish from Is, ,000,-
600 to 20,000,O00 of bushels of corn,
and 100000 to 100000 bushels of
seed wheat to feed the adult popula-
tion Of the Volga and to SOW the mil
lions of acres of land, plowed and
ready for seeding next saring.

Col. Colts Sons Give Up
Fight to Break His Will
Counsel Gives No Reason for
Dropping Attack on Multi
millionaire's Beuuests

PROVIDENCE. Dec. 5.--Russell G..
Colt and Roswell C. Colt, sons OF the
late Colonel Samuel Pomery Colt, to-
day abandoned their attempt to break
the will of their father. The decision
was made known in brief statement
by their counsel, William B.
Greenough, but no reason was re-
vealed for the action.
Colonel Colt, multi millionaire and
organizer of the rubber industry in
this country, died August IL at his
home in Bristol His will was fled in
Bristol September 6. On October ID
the two sons claimed an appeal. charg-
ing that their father was of unsound
mind when the will was executed that
he was induced to sign it through un-
due influence and that he executed the
will under mistake OF fact" No
one was named in the allegation of un-
due influence.
Under the will each son received
100000. The estate at Mamaroneck,
N. Y, was given 90 Russell G. Colt and
his wife, Ethel Barrymore Colt, during
their lives. Colonel Colt created a
trust of his real estate holdings in
Bristol and directed that his son Rus
sell have the use during life of the
homestead estate. while Roswell Colt
got the use OF the Colt farm, long Il
celebrated show place.

Hedley to Explain
Coal Costs TODAY
To Transit Board
|. r. T. Head Reappears at
Own Request; b. r. T.
End of Inquiry TO Open
With Garrison a Witness

At his request, Frank Hedley, presi-
dent and general manager of the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company, will
be recalled to the stand to-day before
the Transit Commission TO explain in
detail why his company paid a higher
price for coal than the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company. 1t was brought out
at hearing last week that the Inter
borough paid s7.35 ton. The B. r. T.
bought coal for $685.
Mr.. Hedley's previous general ex-
planatiou was that he did not believe
the fuel was OF the same quality. A
large part OF the Interborough's coal
requirement. it has been disclosed. was
supplied by the Berwind- w hite Coal
~ ming Company, with which 4. j. Ber-
wind. chairman OF the Interborough' S
executive committee, is connected.
The commission also expects to be-
gin an inquiry into the financial and
operating conditions of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company The wit
nesses requested to appear to-day in
clude Lindley 81. Garrison, receiver Of
the company; Howard Abel, comp
troller; William S. Menden. general
manager, and Nicholas f. Brady and
Timothy S. Williams, directors. The
last named formerly was president of
the company, which ceased paying divi-
dends early in 1918.

w cts Offc. Bill
To Permit Local
Option in U. S.
Plan Is to Give Each Con-
gressional District Full
Power to Regulate Its
Own Status on Liquor
Emphasize RevenuePhase
Maximum Alcoholic Con-
tent Made IL Per Cent for
Wine and 4 for Beer

From The Trtbuaes Washington Eureuw
WASHINGTON, Dec 5.--Wets in
Congress launched to-day with the open
ing Of the regular session movement
to establish the ass Congressional dis
tricts as Federal local option districts, -
with power to decide upon the manufac-
tures sale and transportation Of wine
and beer in the general elections next
fall.
This new idea is strategicaly hinged
upon plan to amend the revenue act,
just passed SO as to tap an easy source
OF revenues. and thus further ''equalize
and reduce taxation" 1t was sponsored
in the House by Representative John
Philip Hill, Republican, of Maryland,
who introduced bill providing for the
necessary Congressional action.
Theory Of Measure Defined
The theory of the measure, as ex-
pressed by Mr.. Hill, is:
"As result of the decision of the
Supreme Court the Federal government
now has entire control of the liquor
question and it is therefore duty of
the Congress to operate the old Amer-
can principle of local option. The Su-
preme Court also said Congress can
define what is Intoxicating liquor This
we would do in My bill, AT the same
time we would provide for revenues,
which, should considerable number of
districts vote wet, entirely eliminate The
problem of the Theasury'
The bill, which has beer referred tc
the Ways and Mesns Committee because
Of It's revenue clauses, and so sidesteps
possible smothering by Chairman Vol
stead of the judiciary Committee, would
be effective beginning January /, 1922.
Beer Limit Made Per Cent
erage obtained by the fermentat ton of
the natural sugar content of fruits
tgrapes, apples, etc. or other agricul-
tural products containing sugar (honey
milk. etc. containing not more than 12
per centum of alcohol by volume" Beer,
under the provisions of the bill, would
contain not more than 4 per cent alcohol
Continuing, the bill says:
THAT, If in any such Federal local
option districts the majority of the said
electors shall vote for beer or FOR
wine, or for both, that thereafter in
such Federal local option district such
beer or wine Is hereby defined not to be
an Intoxicating liquor, the manufacture
sale or transporta ton of which in said
district is prohibited by the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, but that thereafter said
beer or wine, or both, may be manufac-
tured, sold or transported for sale il,
original packages for consumption only
in homes and in bona fde hotels and
clubs.''
The taxes fixed by the bill would be 90
cents gallon on the beer and 40 cents
a gallon on wines

Preference Payments
Denied by Patrolmen
Allegations Over Civil Service
Examinations Refuted ut
Hirshfield Iuvest;rns;cv,

Several Of the patrolmen alleged by
one of their brother officers, Patrick J.
Twonley, to have paid $1,000 each to
gain preference in the civil service ex-
animation last August for promotion
from patroimen to sergeant were called
as Witnesses Yesterday at the resump-
tion of the investigation before David
Hirshiield, Commissioner of Accounts.
Only one Of them admitted that he was
personally acquainted with Patrolman
Twomey. They all we're firm in deny
ing that they paid any money to
Twomey.
Twomey formerly testified that he
collected S1,500 from each of eighteen
policemen and gave the money TO
Michael Burke saloonkeeper, who
Twomey said assured him he could get
the patrolmen promoted through his
tBurke's) influence with employees Of
the Civil Service Commission. Burke
has since gone to ireland.
The policemen were grilled by Com
missioner Hirshfield and by Assistant
District Attorney 0'Neil as to how
their respective seat numbers and in
dex numbers at the civil service exam
ination had come into the possession
of Twomey- Commissioners Hirshfeld
tcld the various witnesses that the
numbers given to him by Twomey had
been checked up and found to corre-
spond correctly with the official num-
bers.
The witnesses all denied that they
had contided their confidential numbers
to Twomey, or "any other living per-
SON" One said that his conscience
was clear" another described is as "a
miracle" If Twomey had the correct
numbers. They denied talking with
any one about the examination at
luncheon on examination day, August
6, or of mngling with other patrol
men.
