Democrats i'm House
Block Seed Grain
Aid TO Northwest
Measure Appropriaiing Mil
lion for Relief in Drought
Stricken Areas Loses by &
Votes; Farm Budget Cut

WASHINGTON, March 6.-'By a close
vote tho House refused to-day to sus-
pend it's rules and pass bill auth oriz-
ing an appropriation Of s1,o0o,oo0 for
the purchase of seed grain to be used in
the drought stricken area of the North
west.
With five members voting "present"
the vote was 191 to 90 in favor, or six
votes short of the two-thirds needed
for passage.
Sharp debate preceded the vote. Pro-
ponents of the bill declared the situa-
ton in the Northwest was critical and
Cortended the government should lend
assistance. Opponents of the measure,
most of whom were Democrats, held,
however, that it had not been shown
that the farmers affected were destitute
or had exhausted their credit resources.
An appropriation Of $34,978,033 to
meet expenses of the Agricultural De-
partment during the coming year was
recommended in bill reported to-day
by the House Appropriations Commit
tee. The total is s3,710,026 less than
the amount appropriated for the cur
rent nSCdl NetT anu oI,Ooi 900 lesS tnaH

Discussing the elimination from the
bill Of the s36o,0oO carried last year
for distribution Of seeds by members
of Congress, the committee in it's re-
port said the budget bureau in sub
mitting estimates did not include pro-
vision for seed distribution.
The bill carries $2,578,S00 for the
eradication of t,berculosis in animals
$1.72s 900 for the payment of indemni-
ties for tubcrcu1ar cattle slaughtered
by the government, s6oo,ooo for the

DIR. Kapp Offers to
Surrender If Made
Free From Arrest
Leader of German Revolt
Proposes to Clear Won
Jagow by Proving Berlin
Government Is Illegal
b. Wireless to The Tri5uas

copyright, 1922. New York Tribune Inc)
BERLIN, March 6-Almost two years
after his ignominious fight to Sweden
from Berlin, where ho had installed
himself as Chancellor with the aid of
mutinous troops, Dr. Wolfgang Kapp
has written to German newspaper
offering to give himself up for trial.
He makes the stipulation that he be
given safe conduct to Leipsic and that
the authorities refrain from taking
him into custody.
The immediate cause of the revolu-
tionist's action Is undoubtedly the re-
cent sentence of his minister Of the
interior. Won Jagow, to five years i'm
prisonment in a fortress for partici-
pating in the uprising, and the subse-
quent contemptuous comment of the
press on the whole proceedings in
which the ridicule was directed largely
at DR.. Kapp himself.
DR.. Kapp's avowed intention in Civ
ing. himself up is to clear Won Jagow
and he says in his letter that he can
do this only by persuading the court
that the present German government is
illegal and possesses no right of jurs-
diction. "The government" he writes,
(which owes its own power to an ac-
complished act Of high treason, has no
right to sit in judgment on others
charged with that crime"
BY this stand DR.. Kapp places him
self in position opposite to that of
his subordinates who were tried for
treason, as they insisted that the real
object of the uprising was to support
the Welmar constitution and not upset
it. To leave no doubt as to his real
attitude toward the revolution, Kapp
signs himself "Royal Prussian Real
Chief Privy Councillor" the high
sounding title that he bore under his
brief regime.
:, 1t is doubtful in the emergency that
the courts will be inclined to pay any
attention to Kapp at all, at least not
to the extent Of making a bargain with
him rs to the terms Of his surrender,

5th Avenue Robbers Get
100000 in Clothing
Haberdashery Shop Neaz. AID
St. Looted; Thieves Chisel
Through Stone Wall

The first employees to arrive yes
rerday at the haberdashery shop Of A.
Sulka & Co, 512 Fifth Avenue, just
north of Forty-second Street, found
that burglars had pillagcd the shop
thoroughly over the week end, and
clothing valued at $4,000 was missing.
The burglars gained access through
coal hole to the adjoining building,
formerly occupied by the National CITY
Company, and now in the hands Of
workmen who are remodeling the in
terror for the Dunhill Company, of
London.
Helping themselves to tools from a
carpenters chest. the burglars chiseled
their way through a stone wall TO the
lath and plaster of the haberdashery
shop, completing the aperture BY
means of heavy beam employed as a
battering ram.
The police think taxicab was used
to carry away the plunder, as a truck
on that part of Fifth Avenue on sun
day would have attracted attention.
irving Frank, manager of the shop,
thought four taXicabs would be more
like it.

Block Seed Grain
Aid to Northwest
Fall Given Authority TO
Accept Titles to Federal
Timber Property to Bring
Control Under One Head

WASHINGTON, March Ga Senate
bill providing for consolidation Of ma
tonal forest lands was passed to-day
by the House with minor amendments,
It provides that in the public interest
the Secretary of the Interior is author
lied to accept on behalf Of tho United
States title to any lands within the
ests which, in the opinion Of the Sec
retary of Agriculture, are chiefly val
liable for national forest purposes and
in exchange therefor may patent not
TO exceed an equal value of national
forest lands in the same state, non
mineral in character.
The report showed 10000 900 acres
within the present boundaries of the
national forests, of which title to about
$4,000 900 acres are not vested in the
government. The forest service esti-
mated that about 100000 would servo
the best use # owned by the govern
mcnt.
The public lands of the United States
should be under the full control either
of the Department of the Interior or
not partially under both, as at present,
Secretary Fall said to-day discussing
the controversy bringing about the
question Of jurisdiction over the for
est service.
Bills are now pending in Congress
for the transfer of forest reserves
especially in Alaska, now controlled
through the forest service by the De
partment of Agriculture to the Interior
eral deposits in the reserves.
Secretary Fall attacked what he
termed the propaganda campaign" Of
the American Forestry Association
against his policy with regard to forest
reserves on the public domain in
Alaska.
Secretary Fall quoted an article by
Colonel w. B. Greeley, chief of the For
rest Service, appearing in a press sheet
from the American Forestry Associa-
tion with the headline to the effect that
Colonel Greeley challenged "plan to
get control over Alaska's forests
"Not content with such ridiculous
and plainly vicious efforts" Secretary
Fall wrote, propaganda has been con
tinucd."
The entire conflict, he said, was
brought about through his approval of
bills now before Congress authorizing
the President to coordinate the duties
of the different bureaus which now
have jurisdiction over the property and
activities of the Federal government in
Alaska and under ono bill transferring
them to the Interior Department.
Among the activities" Secretary
Fall says in his letter to the House
Committee chairman, "was the admin
istration of the forests in Alaska to
the end that work of the Interior De
partment might be co-ordinated by the
transfer Of the forest to the interior,
the administration Of mining laws, the
agricultural entry laws, the construc--
tion of roads and other methods Of
transportation.
"This at once brought down upon
my devoted head" he said, "the wrath
Of Mr.. Clifford Pinchot and his follow
ers"
Mr.. Fall dealt at length with what
he said, were published attacks upon
him by Mr. Pinchot and others con-
cerning his Alaska policy and contin-

divided vote that Senator Smoot and
Representative Theodore Burton, Of

President, nre not eligible on the
ground that members of Congress

Senator's Cummins and Sterling. Re-
publicans, held they were eligible.
The question now goes to the judiciary
Committee, which put it over until
Thursday.
Senator Walsh, of Montana, in an
extended argument in the Senate re-
Gently held that the President could
not lawfully name any one in Congress
to the ommission. since it would have
discretionary powers and therefore its
members would be officials in the eyes
of the Constitution. In support Of his
contention he cited the fact that the
House some years ago investigated the
question exhaustivelv and found that
while members of Congress could be
named to certain commissions of an
honorary or advisory character or
commissions to negotiate treaties
wherein the President had the real nu-
thority, they could not be named to
commissions that had in themselves
d sscretionary power to take final action.
Talk about the Senate to-day was
that the majority of this Judiciary
Committee was likely to decide that
members Of Congress were ineligible.
