SHIP BILL TO STRIKE
ROCKS IN SENATE
END OF FILIBUSTER is NOT IN
SIGHT-EXTRA SESSION AD-
JOURNS SATURDAf|SHl
PING MEASURE IN SENATE
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

Washington, Nov. 3o.-Congress
with the house having passed the
shipping bill and the senate still in
the quandaries of a democratic fill
buster on the Dyer anti-lynching bill
had suspended activities with other
branches Of the federal government
here today over Thanksgiving day.
At the white house also, President
Harding had planned to do only a
little work during the day and to
spend the remainder quietly after
having dinner with Mrs. Harding in
her sick room, where her condition
now permits her to spend part Of
each day in an easy chair.
The house took an adjournment
after the passage Of the administra-
lion shipping bill yesterday, with a
vote of 20S to 1874, with 50 republi-
cans joining the opposition and four
democrats voting for the bill.
The senate fight over the bill, which
faces threats to delay if not pre-
vent it's passage there, is expected
Ito get under way next week, the SEN
ate committee, getting the measure
Monday and planning to report it as
passed by the house.
There was no end of the democra-
tic filibuster in sight when the SEN
ate adjourned yesterday over Thanks
giving and the situation was declared
by some to point to its continuation
until the extra session adjourns sine
die Saturday night. Although the
motion to adjourn over today after
five hour session yesterday, came
! from Senator Lodge, who, as repub-
lican leader, had presided over the
Republican caucus Tuesday at which
it was revolved to hold the senate in
session Thursday if necessary to
break the flibuster it was not taken
to mean any intention of the repub-
| lican to drop the fight in behalf OF
the bill. And equally determined last
night were the democrats to contin-
ue the filibuster.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Messages
from President Harding, Mrs. Hard

ton of the law giving World wal
veterans preference in employment
under the civil service.
AS he was preparing to leave the
executive Offices, Mr.. Owsley said he

would be glad to receive him.
"She got up out of bed of sick
ness, dressed herself and was wheel
ed out in arm chair" the nationa,
commander said. "She told me: :.
want you to say to the ex-service mer
that their friend has been sick, but
is much better now and soon will be
on the job again."
Mr.. Owsley said that on his visit
to the Wilson home he had told wal
time president he had come to pa!
his respects to him as the formel
commander-in-chief Of the veteran
and to ask for a message to them. HI
declared that Mr.. Wilson's eyes flash
ed, that he sat more erect and hi
jaw set.
Say to them," the former chief ex
ecutive was quoted, fthat 1 am theil
comrade; say to them that they were
the crusaders for liberty"

FLORIDA SCHEME
SHOULD Be TRIED
GOVERNMENT URGES WAR ON
BOIL WEEVIL.-DEPARTMENT
OF AGRICULTURE GREATLY
INTERESTED IN PLAN WORK.
ED OUT FOR CONTROL

Washington, Nov. 30.-P1anters
throughout the South, especially
trose growing cotton on low yield
ing land, were urged today by the
department of agriculture to give
during the coming season a wide
spread and thorough trial of the
new method of boil weevil control
developed by G. D. Smith at the
Florida state experiment station at
Gainesville, Fla, and recently an
nounced by DR.. Wilmen Newell Of
the Florida state plant board.
In the first official announcement
on the subject the department Of
agriculture said it took great inter-
est in the new method as announced
in the Florida bulletin dealing with
the experiments of Mr.. Smith.
In these experiments which were
conducted in northern Florida, said
the departments annoumce1nent
"the treated field average 439
pounds Of seed Cotton per acre; the
untreated checks averaged only 164
pounds of seed cotton per acre or
an average incresase Of pounds of
seed sotton per acre in all tests The
average cost Of treatment for the
entire season was $1.57 per acre.
The new method consists of the re-
moval and destruction Of all squares
on the plants at time when about
two squares per plant are present:
This operation destroys a large per-
centage of the weevils and Is I'M
mediately followed by a thorough
busting to poison the terminal buds
where the remaining weevls are
forced to feed.
"This announcement is parti-
cularly important because 1T appar-
only offers a means of controlling
the boil weevil on low yielding land
on which it has 50 far been unpro-
ftable to use the das,ing method.
"A very large proportion of the
cotton crop is produced on low
yielding land and the bureau of en-
tomology is greatly pleased that
this new method had been develop
ed, we'll knowing Professor Newell's
standing as a careful and reliable
investigator, and urged wides-
pread and thorough trial Of this
method during the coming season
wherever the conditions appear suit
able for its USE"

PLAN WO&ntU' I
TO HELP FARMERS
REPUBLICANS HOLD WHITE
HOUSE CONFERENCE.-THE
POSED LEGISLATION TO BE
PRESSED WITH FULL FORCE
OF ADMINISTRATION.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The new
administration program for immed-
late financial relief to farmers was
formulated fand practically perfec-
ted today at conference between
President Harding, Secretary Wal
lace and AZ Republican senators,
headed by Senator Watson of In
diana. 1t will be put before congress
at once and passed with the full
force of the administration.
Broadley the plan brings togath-
er in one administration measure
the approved portion of various re-
lief raeasures already pending in
congress and contains also provis-
ions to make the intended relief
available to the small farmer ais
we'll as to the large cattle rasers
and grain growers.
The conference was arranged by
Senator Watson, who has been max
ing an active survey Of the question
of agricultural relief. It was pre-
ceded by series of conference be-
tween Secretary Wallace and de-
partnent Of agriculture experts.
Today President Harding kept his
Thanksgiving dinner waiting while
he heard the perfected program out
lined and gave his general approval.
The plan proposes to utilize the
federal farm loan board as the
agency through which relief is to
be given. The details of the fnanc-
ing have been practically worked
out. The general purpose is larger
and more liberal credits and cheap
er interest rates. The opinion of
those participating in the confer
ence was that while the war finance
corporation had been of great value
in alleviating the distressed condit-
ion of agriculture, its loans because
of certain limitations, did not reach
down to the average small farmer
who raises a few cattle or has small
quantities of grain to market. By
using the federal farm loan board
as the agency to carry out the plan
of financing, the new admin'stra'
ton plan proposes to make the gov
ernment relief available directly to
the small farmers who need it.
The whole subject of farm relief
work was discussed exhaustively
but the marketing problem was
touched upon only in general way
The general opinion at the confer
! ence that to the extent the pro
gram now is to include as complex
and much controverted subject as
cooperative marketing would only
serve to delay the immediate object
/ of relief. The president was told
that the pressing need was to pro
vide at once financial aid to thous-
ands of farmers who faced mort
gage foreclosures because they are
unable to dispose Of their cattle and
crops without tremendous losses.
An the senators present gave
their approval to the program and
pledged their support for its mn

WESTERN FARMERS
THINK Of STRIKE
REFUSAL TO PAY ANY TAXES
In OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
NcToN HEARS OF MOVE CON-
sDERED BY HARD HIT GRAIN
GROWERS.

ton possessed by members of con-
gress makes it appear certain that
the farmer of the West and the far
mer of the South are creatures of
vastly different temperaments.
Reports from the West are to the
effect that farmers, because Of un-
fortunate circumstances, are prepar-
ing a general strike against the gov
eminent to take one of two forms:
1. A non-cooperative revolution
such as Ghandi led in India to be
followed by a refusal to pay county,
state and federal taxes with a for
feiture of property and the throwing
of countless helpless farmers on the
mercy of the public.
2. Bankruptcy by which technical
evasion of taxes and debts may be
possible. This scheme is said to have
gained favor particularly in North
Dakota, where in one week 143 far
mers were declared to be bankrupt.
No such reports come to Wash
ington from the South. A discussion
of this situation with best posted
senators from states below the Mas
on-Dixon indicates that the Southern
farmer has been as hard hit as the
farmer of the West. His debts are
said to be as large on the average,
and his disappointment equally as
great.
At the same time, from no state IS
it intimated that farmers Of the
South will strike against the govern
ment or voluntarily seek release from
debts by means of bankruptcy courts.
If reports are true, Southern farm
ers are preparing to "grin and bear
it, to fight out this battle just as
they have fought out others.
Regarding the reported revolt in
the West, it is said in Washington
that their condition within itself does
not drive the farmers to desperate
extents, but their desire by some
dramatic stand to focus the attention
of the world on their comparative
penury.
Politicians are taking cognizance
of the reports from the West. They
contend that this mood which would
drive the farmers to an open refusal
to pay taxes was the same mood
which wiped "standpat" Republicans
eut of office November z.
1t is no longer discussed by Wash
ington strategists that farmers have
been benefited by Republican legis-
lation, the socalled emergency tariff
sY the permanent tariff act. This con-
tention was uttered during the cam
paign, but since has not been heard.
The president has displayed an
anxiety TO cooperate to the end that
farmers might be benefited. 1t is
said that he is moved through three
reasons-sympathy, the lesson taught
his party November z and by a Wis
ion of the election results in 1924,
The president, at any rate, has had
recent discussion with leading Re-
publicans from agricultural states
and the belief is general that he will
cooperate in the enactment Of legs-
lation extending farmers additional
long term credit at comparatively
low interest rates

Inc match for the Harlem Challenge
Cup, won last year by Alfred d. Ham
mott, resolved itself into question of
endurance, in the latter stages. The
stalwart Bowman maintained the Same
aggressive pace toward the end that
ne mad at the beginning, while DR.. King
began to show signs of distress about
malt way through the fourth set, and in
the NTH was forced entirely on the de-
fensive by the new holder Of the Gun.
in the opening set King forced the
play, smothering returns at the net bv
sharp volleylng and decisive smashing.
He was very fast in his court cover
ing and cut off majority Of Bowman's
returns. After leadng at 4-3, King
made three double-faults IN a row and
lost that game. 1t was this same pro
pensity to doube-fault on his delivery
that cost King many valuable points in
the match Bowman finally forged into
the lead at 7-6 and was within a point
of the first set four times, only to lose
out when King made a supreme effort
at the net and won the game, the next
at "love,' and the sixteenth, after keen
battle, for the first set.
Bowman went after the second set
with rush, driving with great pace
and following his forcing shots In to
ing the first three games to deuce, only
to lose them all, evidently decided to
save his energies for the third set. and
Bowman strided on to Glove" set,
squaring the match.
The positions were almost exactly
reversed in the third set, with King
again dominating the net position and
cutting off Bowman's returns by bril-
liant volleying and overhead play.
After winning this session at 6-i.
King kept up his winning streak un-
til he led at 4-2 in the fourth set
and seemed then pretty close to vic
tory.
But Bowman refused to be f7ustered
by the dangers of his position and
started another session of hard driv-
ing and sterling volleying as he closed
IN, taking four games in a row for the
set and again squaring accounts.
Then came the last set and victory
for Bowman. King developed cramps
in his fingers, in addition to his in
creasing WEAKNESS, and could only win
two games before Bowman had the set
at 6-2 and the match.
