Washington.-Senator LaFollette Of
Wisconsin, Republican, in a formal
statement issued today, charged that
high railroad officials and representa-
tives of the coal, steel and lumber in
terests at secret meeting held in
Washington, Dee. eth, attempted to OBJ
tain from representatives of farmers
organizations an agreement to cease
agitation for repeal of the section of

road valuation and for restoration of
state control over state rates. Advis-
ing the farmers of the country "to be-
ware of the leadership in any Of their
great farm organizations represented
in Washington that would shackle them
in combinations with railway execu-
tives and with the great combinations
and trusts of the country" the Wiscon-
sin senator further charged that the
"great special interests" at the Dec.
9th meeting were successful in obtain
ing the consent of certain of the farm

HYPOTHETICAL TEST
FIVE HOURS LONG
Question in Burch Case Promises to
Set New Record for Courts
of This Country.
lRx Associated Press Leased Wlre.l

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Los Angeles-The trial of Arthur c.
Burch, charged with the murder of J.
Bolton Kennedy, entered its sixth
week today before jury in superior
court. The first witness called for the
defense today was Peter E. Peterson,
who after qualifying as an expert on
firearms, testified that shot gun load
as killed Kennedy would not scatter
at short range as the conditions show
ed that load had scattered. The state
has claimed that Kennedy was shot at
range of about six feet. Peterson
said the scars in shrubs and trees at
the scene of the shooting indicated that
the murdered shoot somewhat further
away. A Hypothetical question, which
was expected to require about five
hours for the reading was prepared
and awaiting the calling to the witness
stand of a number of defense alienists,
who are expected to express an opin-
ion based on the question as to whether
Burch is sane. One element of his
defense is insanity.

TOO POOR TO WE'D
TWO TAKE LIVES
Stenographer and Clerk in New
Jersey Find They Can't Marry
Both Take Poison.

Passaic, n. ]. - Too poor to marry.
That was the reason that impelled
Thomas Brands, Is, and his sweetheart
Matilda Rist, II, to take their lives by
poison here early today, the boy told
the police at the general hospital
where he died. Brands was employed
as clerk by local mill and the girl
was q stenographer.
The boy and girl met about a year
ago and soon became fast friends. Be-
cause of their youth and the fact that
young Brands was just starting on
his career and was not making enough
money they had net planned an early
marriage. Last Saturday, however, the
girl confided to her sweetheart that
she felt they should marry soon. They
talked it over and decided this was out
of the question for financial reason.
Then came the resolve to die. They
planned to make it Christmas day but
loathe to bring grief to their fanai-
lies on such holiday they waited
until this morning. A visit to the
corner drug store, purchase of poison
with which to "kiIl a dog" and they
went to the girls home where Brands
had always been a welcome visitor.
They were alone in the sitting room
most of the evening and it was shortly
after midnight that the girl staggered
into her mothers room suffering from
commissions.
While an ambulance surgeon was
working on her young Brands entered
in q similar condition They were
taken to the hospital where they died
within two hours.

SAYS EASTMAN co.
MAKES MONOPOLY
Senate Finance Committee Told That
Kodak Company May Control the
Moving Picture Industry.

Washington-Charges that the East
man Kodak company Through a mo-
nopoly of the production of "raw'
films, will be able to control the en-
tire motion picture industry in the
United States, were made today before
the Senate finance committee by the
international Film Service company,
through its counsel, William A. de
Ford, of New York City. Mr.. de Ford
and other representatives of motion
picture prducers, opposed the proposed
twenty per cent duty on unexposed
films, claiming this duty would be pro-
hibitive. Mr.. de Ford testified that the
Eastman company had taken steps to
tighten its hold on the control Of ~raw
films in this country. He charged that
it had forced independent laboratories
handling films to agree to use only
American made films and asked the
committee to investigate an agree
ment which he stated had been enter
ed into between the Eastman company
and the laboratories.

Libraries Reopen in
the Soviet Capital

Moseow-Despite all its difficulties
of civil war, the Bolshevik government
has opened 1000 public libraries in
Moscow alone, according to Citizeness
Levehenskova, chief librarian of the
Moscow Central Workers Library.
These libraries, which are organic
ed on the American plan, range from
tiny branches with only 1000 books,
to institutions with two Sand three
hundred thousand volumes, she said.
Russia has the distinction of being the
first European country to adopt the
American library system.
The new libraries have not succeed
ed thus far, however, in their original
purpose of interesting the proletariat
in culture. Fewer wOFkmen patronize
the libraries now than during the days
o fthe Gar, she said, owing TO the
fact that they work longer and harder
and have less opportunity to read.
''The majority of our book borrowers
are still the old intelligencia," she ex-
planned. "The only difference is they
come less frequently. They have
neither time nor place to do much
reading. Their rooms are too cold in
the evenings and they are generally
too tired after the long days work"
Citizeness Levtchenskova said the
books for the libraries were obtained
partly from confiscatiOns Of private
libraries of the rich, partly from the
few public libraries of the old days,
and partly by purchase and donation.
The iibaries are open six hours a
day, six days a week.

Fusel oil, the assistant city chemist

'1llicit peddlers of whiskey," says
Kocachy, employ ethlylacetate for

HAS AUTOMOBILE (,
THRUST ON HIM
Charles Bullamore Finds
Himself Possessed Win
Touring Car.
BELIEVE IT STOLEN

Automobiles, like greatness, may be
thrust upon one. This was demon
strated today when it became learned
that Charles H. Bullamore, 423 How
land avenue, has had a perfectly good
Jordan touring car left on his hands.
Meanwhile the police, scouting the
theory that the eaE was left by thieves
in Bullamore's garage, are on the trail
and while they have found no trace of
the ring Of thieves, believe that they
have found the owner of the car in
Chicago. H.
The strange episode started just be-
fore Thanksgiving when Diaper young
man who gave his name as John Todd
and who had the Mrs" along with
him drove up to the Bulamore home
and made arrangements to rent the
garage for a few weeks.
Claimed Home In Madison.
The man declared he was driving
home to Madison but that he wished to
take the steam line the remainder of
the way and wanted to rent a garage
in which to store his car. He paid
cash a month in advance for the use
of the garage and departed.
Bullamore Thought nothing sof the
transaction until the month rolled
around and the man did not return
either to claim his car or to pay rent
for another month. Then he began to
investigate. He used the license num-
Der as a clew and found that it was
false, having been issued for an en-
tirely different kind of car. Letters
to Madison revealed that the address
given by Todd was spurious one and
that there was no such person there.
Bullamore was ready and willing to
hand over the car to the proper owner.
but his investigation failed to reveal
anyone who had better right to the
car than he had. The police here are
in communication with Chicago author
tiles and an owner of stolen Jordan
car is to come to Kenosha on Wednes-
day to look at the car. Meanwhile
BulIamore has an automobile on his
hands and unless someone establishes
a better claim to it than he has, he
may be able to keep the car.
