DAY AFTERNOON

Muskogee, Okla, April 1S.-Local au-
thorities today were still without a clue
as TO the whereabouts OF the negroes
who late Saturday held up Deputy
Sheriffs y. o. Etter and j. Il. Foster
of Oktaha, took from them two negro
prisoners. shot Foster and beat Etter
and fled in an automobile.
They expressed hope. however, that
before the end Of the day, they would
have in custody several persons who
know the identity of the assailants Of
the officers. whose trip to Muskogee
was communicated to local negroes by
negroes at Oktaha.
Foster was today to undergo an op.
GRAFTON for the removal of the bullet
that lodged in his groin. Physicians
said he had an excellent chance TO
recover. Etter's 10 year old son, Carl,
who was beaten by John McShann, one
Of the negro prisoners. is well on the
road to recovery.
Etter says McShann knocked the for
mer's revolver from his hand when he
attempted TO resist interference from
the negroes who accosted the party on
the outskirts Of Muskogee.

Limited CONTROL
Gary Thinks Business Might
Be Regulated by Govern
ment Departments and
Commissions

New York, April 1s.--Elbert II. Gary,
chairman Of the United States steel
Corporation, told the stockholders at
their annual meeting today he was in
favor Of publicity, regulation and con-
troll Of business through government
agencies, as q possible solution or an
tidole to the labor union problem" ."
Declaring he did not believe in socia-
listn nor in governmental management
or operation, he suggested that non
partisan, non-sectarian commissions or
departments render decisions, subject
To review by the highest courts.
Continuing his suggestion. he said:
Laws, clear, well defined, practicable
and easy of comprehension covering
these matters, might be passed and il
SO. they should apply 10 all economic
conditions, groups or bodies exceeding
certain specified numbers or amounts
Both organized capital and organized
labor should be placed under these
laws. Each should be entitled to the
same protection and be subject to the
same restrictions and provisions.
VIII labor unions consent TO this?
They have heretofore objected. Here
would be test. Labor union leaders
have before now asked and received dis
crimnatiory exemptions. This is wrong
and 1t would be just as bad II the situa
ton were reversed. Employers gener-
ally desire only the same treatment
that Is accorded to labor unions. The
large majority Of workmen also would
be satisfied with this standard"
'"fhe natural and certain effects OF
labor unionism are expressed By three
words: lnefficiency, high COSTS he
added
1T seems TO be- he said, that the
natural. II not the necessary result OF
the contemplated progress OF labor
unions. ii successful, would be control
OF shops. then the general management
Of the business. then Of capital, and
finally, the government"
Admitting that unions may have
been justified in the long past" because
workmen were not treated Justly, he
declared there is now no necessity for
them
Reduction Of working hours for en-
ployes of the steel corporation was
contemplated, Mr.. Gary said
He said the steel corporation had
been very successful in cultivating the
feeling Of amity among the employees.
The employees, on the average. he
said, have received as high. II not the
highest compensation. and US generous
II not the most generous, treatment ac
corded by any basic industry"

Why We Can't XIII All the Flies.

$500 Tests to Prove Ia1ert Hcrcdi-

Professor Carr Emil Seashore, of

in the ordinary way. The question
at issue concerns brain cells rather
than vocal chords-capacity TO appce-
ciate differences in tone, to discrlnl-
mate between harmony and dIscord
to estimate time, and the like.
When Professor Seashore's method
was applied to a group OF 2,9oo
school children. the test resulted IN
the selection Of just two as having
uneauivocal musical talent; and 1t
was then revealed that one of these
was a recognized musical prodigy
Uhough the examiner had been given
no inkling Of the fact). and that the
other, though unframed, had been
observed to sing with great accuracS.
So much impressed were the school
authorities ard the parents OF the
community that subscriptions were az

Professor Seashore's Investigations
have made il clear TO him thu mu-

Greeks and BuIearians.

| Washington, April 23-Sorting out
the nationals Of two nations to es-
tablish artificial and chronological
boundaries is the task Of the Mixed
Commission on Reciprocal Emigration
between Greece and Bulgaria which
has arrived in Sofia under direction
of the League of Nations according TO
a report reaching here.
The treaty Of .Neuilly With Bulgaria
provides for efforts to induce alien
elements of two populations to erni
CRATE to their respective native coun-
tries. AS viewed BY members Of the
commission, the experiment offers
an interesting test as to whether the
nationalistic aspirations OF these two
peoples, finding themselves in the po-
sition Of racial minorities, are strong
er than the influences Of long esthb-
lished home ties and environment
While Greece was reported to have
made initial arrangements for receiv-
ing approximately 10000 Greeks from
Bulgaria and to have shown a will
,ingness to cooperate with the Com
mission, it was stated that Bulgaria
had done nothing TO induce her own
nationals to leave Greek territory.
With Bulgaria, the purpose Of the
Commission was declared as an un-
popular arrangement as Withdrawal!
OF her nationals from that part of
Thrace awarded Greece would amount
to a relinGuishment Of national hope
for an outlet to the Aegan sea through
Tnrace. The agricultural situation in
Bulgaria, where the land is already
divided into small holdings, was also
said to be such that Bulgaria could
not offer same inducements to incom-
ing settlers as Greece.

Oklahoma Has Large Crow Bill.

Sill Water, Okla, April 25.-Ok,a-
homa's board bill for crows from it's
sister states-north, east, couth and
VESTS S1,200,000 annually. This
pest Of the air, who migrates 10
Oklahoma for the winter holidays, is
one OF the most costly visitors to
which the state pays host.
According to a report made here
today by c. E. Sandborn. professor Of
entomology at the Oklahoma A. & NJ.
college. crows cause a loss Of more
than this sum to farmers each year,
chiefly through their consumption OF
grain. The figure was arrived at on
an estimate OF 10000 900 crows con-
sumins $4,000 worth of grain per
day for l20 days. the average period
Of their sojourn in the winter.

Of the farm crops at this time Of the

Compared with his report. Profes-
sor Sandborn quoted statistics from
four community councils OF Logan
county. which estimated that the
crows did $71,200 damage alone. The
roosting places and good ranges OF
the crow are such; he said, that at
least 20 counties We're ravaged last
year equal TO Logan county, there
fore making q total estimate Of ST.
424 600 for Oklahoma's board bill to
crows.
"A proper description during the,
winter in Oklahoma would appear fic-
some proof Of the crows presence in
the state" the entomologist declares.
Persons who do not travel over
Oklahoma much. but have noticed
hordes Of crows lowering over certain
sections Of the state, might think that
all of the crows in the country were
oivouacing in that particular locality.
The most serious complaints rela-
tive tc crop damage indicate that IN
dian corn, kafir, sorghum, maize.
;arso. peanuts. pecans. melons and
cotton are the products usually seri-
ously damaged by the crows. They
also injure terminating corn and oats.

Eskimcs Need Protection From Illc.
gal Traders.

Copenhagen, April 25.-The Danish
government is trying to formulate 4
new system of government Cor its
colony of Greenland but the royal
commission appointed for that pur-
pose has been unable thus far to agree
whether the Eskimos OF that far
northern land shall be allowed to
have free trade with all nations.
King Christian is to visit Greenland
in juno, the first time Danish king
has ever visited that colony. and the
commission hopes to reach an agree
ment in time to enable him to an
nounce the new plan of government
when he is greeted by the Eskinlos
A well known Greenland explorer,
VINO is not q member Of the COM
mission. told the correspondent that
one section OF the commission was
holding out for free trade between the
Greenland Eski1nos and the nationals
Of all countries This section, he
added. rightly says that the present
system OF the Danish state granting
a monopoly to single company,
even if this company is managed by
Danish state officials and for all
practical purposes is a government
department, is direct violation OF al.
democratic principles.
Without any competition, no conl-
pany, and particularly a company
managed by state officials, could pos
sible be expected 10 obtain for pro-
ducts Of the natives the same high
prices as would be obtainable in the
open market Monopoly never bred
efficiency.
''On the other hand, the other Sec
ton Of the royal commission asserts
that the Eskimo is q child and must
be treated like child, that intoXicat-
ing liquor and other Of the blessings
Of civilization must be kept awsy
from him, or he viii go to rack and
ruin.
Every Greenland settlement has
been visited by illegal traders who
have shamelessly taken advantage Of
the confding nature Of the Eskimo.
For a bottle Of vile spirits, or a row
OF glass beads these traders have
robbed the natives Of bearsk;ns and
other products Of great value. So 2
grandmotherly trade restriction may
not be right in principle but certainly
-, ractica
