Europe Situation
To Be Studied At
Farm Conference
TRepubIIcan a. p, Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-The ma
tional agricultural conference, which
will convene here January % will dis
cuss prominently the question of how
the European situation has affected
conditions in the United States, Sec
retary Wallace announced tonight.
At the same time he added, sug-
gestions would be received for any
establishments American agriculture
should make to meet these conditions.
Financial affairs relating both to
the present emergency condition of
agriculture and permanent policy
for its development, which it is hoped
by officials the conference win lay
down, are expected to form an inn
portant part of the program. Secre-
tary Wallace declared today that no
hard and fast outline had been drawn
for the conference meetings in the
mornings at which general matters
would be discussed and then in the
afternoon break up into committees
for the more detailed consideration of
their problems.
President Harding will open the
conference. the secretary said, and a
canvass of the general agricultural
situation throughout the United
States viii probably follow. The con-
ference probably will name commit
tees, it was added, under the head of
production, transportation, financing
and marketing. These in turn will
be divided into sub committees along
commodity lines, such as cotton, corn,
wheat, tobacco and others.

Military Clamp
Lid Down Tight
In Mexia Texas
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre]

MEHIA, Tex, Jan. 13.-The lid was
clamped down tight in MeXia tonight.
The small force of state rangers, on
duty since last Saturday. which en-
forced martial law in three justice
precincts of two counties for Sc hours,
was reinforced by about 90 state
guardsmen from Brennan late today.
Immediately after detraining the
guardsmen We're addressed By Brig.
Gen. Jacob f. Walters, commanding
officer, and told in substance that
they were assigned to guard prisoners
at the detention camp and perform
other duties. They were told that, II
necessary to prevent escapes, they
should shoot and that a miss would
mean court martial
General Wolters announced the po-
lice have been assigned to looking
after minor law violations. Reports
of felonies, gambling and illegal
liquor cases are to be turned over to
the rangers for investigation and ac-
ton. He said many tips were being
received and investigation of all will
take some time, but that citizens and
peace officers were cooperating with
him. One white man was shot late
last night. The report was that the
man was shot by a negress, who al
legged he attempted to break into her
home.
All reports at military headquarters
tonight said gambling and the Illegal
sale of liquor had ceased in the mill
tary area.
Late today a military department
of criminal investigation was estab-
lished and will function much as the
district attorneys in a city. No
courts martial viii be established for
the present, General Wolters an
nounced, as the military intends to
depend upon county grand jury action
in handling the cases brought up.
