en- by the Frisco. when Il. r. Hughes

the general American farm depression
and for possible means of relief. G. f.
Warren of Ithaca, N. Y, just back
from a trip of investigation in Europe.
told delegates of the effect of the
situation there on American agricul-
ture and emphasized the needs Of
accurate information for American
farmers as to European production
and demand.
For some years, the conditions in
Europe will be subject to erratic
changes both in supply and demand,
said Mr.. Warren.
of European movements as far in ad'
vance as possible"
Mr.. Warren asserted that because
dcflation did not begin in Europe,
prices there were still much above the
pre-war level and had stimulated pro.
duction to meet the demand.
Work Of Agency Told
Eugene V. Meyer, Jr., managing di.
rector, of the war finance corpora.
ton, detailed TO the conference the
work Of that governmental agency.
The collapse of the cotton market,
Mr.. Meyer said, did more than any
thing else to bring on the break In
other markets, as cotton, he declar'
ed, was "key" product. The war
finance corporation director praised
cooperative farmers associations and
advocated sufficient warehouse facili
ties and financial means to enable
producers TO market their product in
an orderly manner.
Wesley c. Mitchell, an economist
of New York, told the delegates that
IL was reasonable 10 expect that
the purchasing power Of gold would
return nearer to pre.war levels and
that the commodity price to New
York over q long period. would tend
downward

COLUMBIA STUDENTS
TO GIVE MOVIE TRIAL
Case to Be That of Cameron
of the Royal Mounted

The movies are working their way
into the studen. life of the Law School
of Columbia University. now nearing
the century mark of its existence. The
Livingston Moot Court of the school
for the first time will give movie
trial under the auspices of the Insti-
tute of Arts and Sciences in Horace
Mann Auditorium. 120th street and
Broadway, on next Tuesday night.
The theory of the mock adjudication
is that witnesses shall see some well
played cinematograph in which crime
is committed and then testify as for
an actual crime of that type. Counsel
are not permitted TO see the portrayal
and therefore are as completely de-
pendent on their wits as any criminal
lawyers.
The movie this year is Cameron OF
the ROYAL Mounted" The case will
be tried before a judge and jury. Dean
Harlan T.. Stone OF the Law School
will preside and the jury will be drafted
from members of the institute to ap-
proximate if possible a typical panel OF
acceptable venirmen.
Among the witnesses, H. Webb Shade,
playing a leader of a bootlegging band,
comes from Pleasantville, Iowa. The
leading character. Cameron. is from
Northport. Il. /. One of the full blooded
Indians is r. II. Crone of Rochester,

PRINCETON GETS FIVE
SMITH SCHOLARSHIPS
University a Beneficiary by
VIII of Civil War Veteran.

PRINCETON, n. J.. March 25.--Under
the provision of the will of the late
John Henley Smith of the class of 1868
Princeton has received legacy for tho
foundation of five scholarships in the
memory of four generations of his fam
ily who have received degrees from
Princeton.
Born on February %, 1S43, in Wash
ington, d. c., Mr.. Smith entered the uni
versity in 1859, but at the outbreak OF
the civil war he enlisted in the Confed-
crate army. Serving in Gen. Mosby' $
brigade he won distinction for his brav-
cry up to the surrender of the brigade
at Winchester Va on April %. 1865.
In 1905 he received fiN Princeton an
honorary degree of bachelor of arts.
The first of the five scholarships is in
the memory of his great-grandfather,
John Bayard, who was a member of the
Continental Congress and colonel in
the Revolutionary army. fighting in the
battle of Princeton. He also was a
member of the Supreme Executive Coun-
ell of the State of Pennsylvania and a
trustee of Princeton from 1878 to 1907.
The second scholarship is in memory
of Jonathan Bayard Smith, another
great-grandfather of Mr.. Smith. who
was a member Of the class OF 1850 and
q merchant in Philadelphia during his
lifetime. The third is named for SamIel
Harrison Smith, a son of Jonathan Bay
ard Smith. Although he was a gradu-
ate of the University of Pennsylvania
the honorary degree of master of arts
was awarded to him by Princeton in
1897.

MISS RUBINSTEIN's RECITAL.
IG-Year-OId violinist Again DEM
onstrates Great Talent.

Miss Erna Rubinstein, violinist gave
her second recital yesterday afternoon
at Carnegie Hall. That the young six
-year-old player has already gained
q large following here was shown by
the size Of her audience.
Her program was short. IL comprised
the adagio movement from Spohrs sec
end concerto, Lalo's Symphonic Espag-
MOLE the "Serenade Melancholique' OF
Tschaikowsky. Hubay's 'fMazurka de
Concert" opus %, and the "Hexentauz," :"
by Paganini.
Miss Rubinsteins performance again
demonstrated her great violin talent,
although her interpretations were not
always OF high order. In her principal
number, the Lalo work. her style had
not much finish. but, this fact aside, she
astonished her hearers by her technical
facility, fine rhythm. accent and phras-
ing. Her reading OF this music would
no doubt be more effective with orches-
trail accompaniment. The Spohr excerpt
ives beautifully given. and so was also
the Tschaikowsky tSerenade." In these
two numbers the players rich. mellow
tone. musical taste and feeling were a
constant delight. The brilliant Ma
zurka de Concert" by her Hungarian
teacher. Hubay. was flung off with
splendid ryhthmic fire. dash and color.
Josef Bonine furnished good piano ac-
compartments.
