Justice James c. Cropsey of the Su-

there was ''crime wave" told the
club members that 1t was within the
power of every good citizen to help

FARM BLOC BEATEN
IN VOTE ON TARIFF
Senate Rejects, 81 to %,
Amendment Raising Rate
on Citrate of Lime.
JOHNSON TO RENEW FIGHT
Defeat Followed a Vigorous
Roundup and Despite Sup
port of Five Recruits.

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c., May Is.
Members of the Senate farm bloc
were defeated to-day in the first test
of strength on their program for sub
stantial increases in the rates on agri-
cultural products carried in the Re-
publican tariff bill.
BY a vote OF 81 to 2s the Senate
rejected the amendment offered by
Senator Johnson (Cal) proposing a
rate of cents a pound on citrate OF
lime in lieu of 6 cents as recon-
mended by the Finance Committee.
After the roll call Senator Johnson
gave notice that he would demand
another record vote on the item when
the bill is taken in the Senate proper.
The defeat of the bloc is taken by
Republican organization leaders as evil
dence that the bloc. which claims from
twenty-five TO twenty-seyen members,
will not be successful in its announced
program to boost generally rates on
farm products. .
Bloc leaders did all in their power
to muster their full voting strength.
They arranged pairs for absent MEM
bers and prevailed on some Democrats
who would not vote for the increase
because of their party policy for low
tariff rates to remain away when the
roll was called
Five Republicans who never have
been counted as members OF the farm
bloc voted with the bloc for the higher
duty on citrate of lime. Even with
those recruits there was a majority of
three against them.
| The five Republicans added to the
list to-day were Senators Mccormick
(nl.), Page (vt). Newberry (Mich.)
Moses (N H.) and wadsworth On. W.
Altogether twenty-five Republicans
! voted for the increase. The Democrats
who Joined them are all members of
the bloc. They were Senators
Ashurst (Ariz.). Kenrick (Wyo) and
Broussard Na.).
WASHINGTON. May 10 (AsSoclateu
Press) Another fight over products Of
the Far West followed disposal of tae
citric acid. the Democrats opposing COM
mittee rates of sixty cents a gallon
on olive oil in containers weighing not
more than forty-four pounds and fifty
cents a gallon on all other such oil
These rates were approved after the
Senate had rejected by overwhelming
majorities amendments by Senator
Walsh (Dem., Mass) to cut the figures
to the thirty cents and twenty cents in
the Underwood law.
A committee rate of five cents a pound
on the hydrogemated or hardened oils
and fats was agreed upon without a
roll call.
Senator Lodge objected to the pro-
viso under which the duties on oils used
in the manufacture of non-edible prod
ucts such as soaps would be refunded.
IF you are going TO let in such oils
duty free. do II openly he said. "Do
not do II by the back door OF proviso,'
Senator Frelinghuysen (Rep.. N J),
contended that II would take fifty
years to develop the soya bean oil
industry in this country. but Senator
Ladd disagreed, saying the city meat
packers were planning to enter the soyd
bean oil field.

Thought Dier Rich and Never
Questioned Similar Buying

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
PHILADELPHIA. May 15.-How the
defunct brokerage firm of E. d. DER
& Co. of New York did business
through the Philadelphia house of
Frank +. Bell & Co., which acted as
a "relay station" between Dier and
the New York Stock Exchange, was
before David Hoffman, referee. through
the testimony of Joseph F. Hickey,
one of the partners of Bell & Co.
While it was shown that, first and
last. the DER outfit lad five accounts
with the Philadelphia house and that
there was rather grave mixing up of
these accounts, the outstanding fact
developed was that it was to Car
pender. Caffry & Co. of New York
that Bell & Co transferred the securi-
ties held for DER when the account
was closed out.
Carpenter. Caffry & Co.. a New
York Stock Exchange house, was sus-
pended a week ago for doing business
with DER. 1t has been in dispute
with Saul S. Myers, attorney for the
receiver for Dier & Co. over an al :
legged offer to compromise its DER ac-
counts for $4,000
DER Had $4,000 Equity. ~
Arthur G. Hayes. representing the
receiver. had established by question
Ing Mr.. Hickey that on December %
Dier had with the Bell firm securities
estimated to be worth more than s7o.0O0
end owed thereon s35.60o 1t was ad-
mitted that Der & Co. had an equity
OF nearly $4,000 Hickey was asked:
when you closed out the Dier &
Co. account. what did you do with
these securities?'
They were delivered to our New
York correspondent with instructions to
deliver them to Carpenter Caffry & Co."
Mr.. Hickey was not sure DER G Co.
lad confirmed the Instructions by mail,
Tut he was certain that his firm had
confirmed the transaction and that his
letter files would so show. Then Mr.
hayes said:
Now. Mr.. Hickey. our books show
that DER & Co. are still long with
your firm and that they still have an
equity of $4,000 here"
Wrong; absolutely wrong" said the
Witness.
Mr.. Hayes admitted after the hear
ing that Mr. Hickey was probably right
snd that this substantial part of the
der & Co. assets probably had been
transferred to the New York house OF

Bangor High Loses
Most of Eleven

BANGOR, Me, Oct. 6-The Bangor
High school football team was almost
completely wrecked Thursday by the
enforcement by the athletic board of
the ruling against fraternities, when
80 members Of the squad turned in
their uniforms and will represent the
school no more this season unless
they reconsider their decision to
stick by their fraternities rather
than the school.
This leaves but two first string
men, quarterback Bond and a sub
lineman, Sawyer. All of the second
and third elevens have withdrawn.
The squad is now made up besides
these mostly of freshmen. The ath-
letic board which is made up of
three members of the faculty, three
alumni and three undergraduates by
a majority vote decided that any stu
dent belonging to any fraternity
whose membership was gained by -
vitation should not be eligible to any
athletic team representing the school,
because of alleged school politics and
cliQues. The athletic board declare
that the schedule Of nine more games
will be played out with what there is
left. Coach Trowell had no practice
Thursday afternoon as but eleven
men were out.
Bangor High has played four games
this season and won them all and it's
