Survey Reports
Doubt Over Apple
Crop in New England

Wakefield, Mass, May 30-A gener-
ally heavy blossoming of apple trees
in New England with the exception
OF the Baldwin variety, which for
the most part has shown a somewhat
light blossom, was reported tonight in
a survey of fruit prospects for the
district issued from the headquarters
here of federal crop statsticians.
While early reports received tell of
a rather light set OF apples, it is con-
sidered too early to make any exact
estimate as to the set.
ct seems probable" the report add
ed. that the bearing capacity and the
quality of New England orchards and
fruit are gaining from more care and
the coming into bearing of many mod
crate sized and some large new or
chards. Vermont, especially this year.
will get good part of its crop from
young orchards.
Peaches promise a fair crop gen.
orally though varying much. Straw
berries are mostly reported as con-
siderably increased in acreage and
the. present outlook is for a good to
heavy crop. Pears, plums. cherries
and blueberries are reported as prom
Using good to heavy crops. Grapes
seem to promise well. Raspberries
are reported as considerably injured
: by last winter and no large crop
seems in sight"

Springfield, Mass, May 30-Two
men were shot, 100 others were ar
rested. 100 game cocks seized and
the cock fighting derby of Massachu-

abrupt and dramatic end this after

tectives David j. Manning surround
ed and raided the three ring game
fight circus staged in a tobacco barn
in Feeding Hills. OF the two men
shot, Robert Mcbride, 60 years Of

ously injured. Examination at
hospital in Springfield showed he
had more than 80 small bird shot in
his body. The second man injured
was Walter Chapman of Norwich,
Conn. According to the police the
men were attempting to escape when
they were fired upon. The raid was
one of the most spectacular staged IN

men attending the fight made des-
perate efforts to escape and battied
furiously with the state officers. Am
balances from headquarters OF the
state constabulary troop in North
ampton were used to bring the prls-
oners into police headquarters IN

Sen. alsh Urges
Americans to Have
Mind of Their Own

WASHINGTON, May 30-An appeal
for an independence of mind by AM
orleans was made today by senator
Walsh of Massachusetts, who IN d
Memorial Day address at exercises Oh
American Legion posts of the dis
tricts of Columbia, denounced what he
described as tendencies of the govern
ment to restrict rather than enlarge
the individual liberties of its citizens
Senator Walsh urged that Amer
leans climb out of the rut OF slave
minds and employ the initiative with
which Americans are credited the
world over" This he declared was
the only way that government could
he bettercd and the esprit and soul
of Americans preserved" The Massa-
chusetts senator added that with the
former service men rested the bufdeh
of initiating the move to restore
national independence of mind ana 10
destroy the practice of "bllndly lol-
lowing, blndly voting for banner
rather than a principle, regardless OF
the selfishness of the leadership
Continuation on the part Of the gov
eminent OIL ellOiN u " iSotiiN NV A'-"-'-N'
ual rights the senator said meant
eventually the cessation of adherence
TO principles of democracy and re-
turn to "the rankest autocracy."
Governmental efforts to control
what we eat and drink, how our peo-
ple amuse themselves, the manner OF
educating their children and the SIZE
OF their families" the senator added,
SIS the rankest kind of autocracy.
When the governments carry this pol
lev to the extreme, they cease longer
to adhere to true principles OF hoer-
tv. or to remain democracy"
The slave mind Senator Walsh
said, has been both the cause and the
offense of the restrictive tendencies OF
the government concerning which he
complained, but he credited the as
tonishing increase in the number OF
slave mind to the result Of such gov
ornamental activities" The senator
told the service men they should be-
come missionaries and teach those of
the slave mind type no longer ito
humble yes when they mean no." and
to continue the Americanization of
their fellow citizens as set out in the
principles of the American Legion.

Washington, May 3O-"Maintained

the supreme chapter in American

address today accepting the Lincoln

passed since his colossal service and
his martyrdom.'
The supreme chapter in history is
not emancipation, though that
achievement would have exalted Lin
coin throughout all the ages" the
president said. THE simple truth is
that Lincoln, recognizing an estab-
lished order, would have comprom-
ised with the slavery that existed, if
he could have halted its extension.
Hating human slavery as he did, he
doubtless believed in its ultimate alb

ULTIMATE BOOST IN
new ENGLAND TRADE
DUE TO FREIGHT CUT
Bound to Favorable Affect, Re-
port Boston Federal Reserve
Bank-Will Tighten Heavy
Toll in Transportation
Charges-Review of Months
Business in District

Boston, May 30.-The monthly re-
view issued by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Boston predicts a stimulat-
ing effect on trade from the freight
rate reduction recently ordered.
THE recent decision of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission reduc-
ing freight rates. the review says,
may not have an immediate effect
on trade, but there can be but little
doubt that ultimately it's effect will
be stimulating. New England indus
tries pay heavy toll in transporta-
ton charges and the high rates which
have been in effect have been detri-
mental to the district.
The review adds that while this
and other favorable influences seem
to outweigh the retarding influences.
there has not been enough further
improvement during the past month
to alter the opinion that a conser-
vatively optimistic attitude toward
the future is he one to adopt for the
present. This policy may have to
be qualified in the case of certain
individual industries, however. be-
cause the situation is so irregular
that the prospects for each should
be estimated Independently.
Manufacturing activity in New
England during April was at a
slightly lower level. than in March,
according to the review, due in part
to the textile strike.
"The shoe industry" it continues,
"has recently experienced a dull per-
iod, very largely OF a seasonal ma
ture. Preliminary reports for May.
however, indicate that conditions
have improved since April.
"The metal trades were among the
last of the majority of New England
to experience a recovery from the
business depression, but since the
turn was made late last summer
each month has shown some i'm
provemcnt in activity. This increase
was continued during April.
RAILROAD car loadings in New
ENGLAND have changed but slightly
since the first of March, although
thus far during 1922 they have av-
craged from Is to 90 per cent. more
than a year ago.

UNVEIL LIKENESS

Washington, May 30.-(By A. Pr
The homage Of people was poured
out today at the shrine erected by a
decade of patient labor to Abraham
Lincoln. Under the thoughtful gaze
of his marble likeness, dim in the
shadowy background of the cleaning
white temple, his countrymen have
realized to him, thousands of Ameri-
cans were gathered.
Men great in the councils Of the
nation were there. The President
came to accept in the nations name
the memorial reared at the river
brim. A former president came glad
ly to give accounting of his trust
as head of the commission that saw
the great work to it's completion.
Senators, representatives, cabinet Of
1cers, admirals and generals all were
there; but it was not these, lavish
as were their tributes to the great
dead who made the day historic in
American annals. 1t was the swell
ling tide of humble people who stood
for hours under a blazing sun to
claim this temple of freedom and the
man whose memory it enshrines as
their own.
Far as the eye could reach from
the high base of the memorial, Amer
leans were spread over the lawns and
clustering under the trees that grace
the setting. How many may have
been there to hear the words Of the
speakers. caught up and flung to far
distances by the amplifiers that

Plague of LOcusts
Near City Naples
May Use War Gas

Naples. May 30-(By A. P.)-Rif-
lions of locusts are destroying fields
and gardens in the farming district
six miles from this city. Within the
past four days many acres of wheat.
hops. clover and corn have been
wiped out, and it is estimated that
the pests are causing $4,000 damage
daily.
Last year few locusts appeared.
and their eggs are now producing a
scourage of insects which is covering
the land at some places in masses a
foot deep. The distracted population
has implored the help of the govern
ment. and measures are being taken
to prevent the spread of the plague.
The war stocks of asphyxiating
gases and fame throwers have been
hurried to the stricken locality.
