y ~ f-% 4 : e
The expansion of agriculture
in Soviet Russia was reflected
today in an announcement that
Soviet officials had lifted an
import sembargo on various
kinds Of farm machinery. The
need of imported implements to
keep farmlands from becoming
idle was given as the reason for
lifting the ban.
Among the articles, formerly
prohibited, which may now
be imported are: Seeding ma
ciIinery, horse rakes, mowers,
reapers, gasoline engines, mill
stones, scythes, hammers, hand

Canal Hearing is
Set For Sept. II

On Tuesday Sept. II, the State Board
of Commerce and Navigation will hold
hearing on the acquisition Of a right
DIVA for the lnuch-discussed ship
canal from Morgan, on karitan bay
to b rdent wn on the Delaware river
The board has notified Governor Slzer
of the selection Of the date for the hear
ing. The conference was held in the
assembly chamber at the State house,
Trenton.
Property owners along the proposed
line of the canal will be invited to the
meeting to take part in the discussion
inasmuch as they are vitality interested
in the project.
Sometime ago, Governor Silzer, in
letter to the commerce and navigation
board, declared that property holders
al Ig the route of the canal onght to
beprepared to donate land for the canal,
where such land is of little value, or
where q small strip of land is taken.
Mr.. SiIzer. however, expressed the
opinion that where the land taken
represents any nsiderable value or
where the pr perty taken seriously
damages that which remains, the state
should pay for it.
The execut We sal he hoped the
property owners would not hold out
for exorbitant prices. as such a course
would materially delay the con-
truction Of the canal. He said that
in this case, the only recourse for New
Jersey would be to condemn the land
desired, and either to assess the benefits
of the canal against contiguous owners
or to denv them access to the canal over
state property except at fixed public
points. :,
The conference will discuss ways and
means for acquiring the land u s. ia
willing to help construct the ditch,
If New Jersey VIII first secure right-of-
way. The state has appropriated the
1876. 90 from the Morris Canal
settlement to pay for land.

Death Of President Harding

Death has again taken away
from the Country another Presi4
dent, Warren G. Harding, the
sixth to die during his term Of
office. President Harding has
evidently been failing very rapid
" and those near to him seemed
unable to realize the gradual
change which every late picture
seemed to mirror. We doubt not
that the trip was undertaken BY
him to get awayfrom the worry and
arduous business cares at WASH
ington, and in hopes that the
trip would be of benefit to him
and improve his health. The
summons came unexpected and
the Nation mourns. At such time
there is no political party and
the whole people mourn a man
who was truly conscientious and
was endeavoring to make good.
His successor President Coolidge
entersuponthedificult task OF his
predecessor with the well wishes
of the Nation, and there is every
indication '.that he will be
successful.
A full account of ex-president
Harding's life and death, and the
life of President Coolidge will

Suit Actions Heard

Decision was reserved by judo e
Ward Kremer in the district court
in two suits. one for $3.50 and the other
$3.50 brought by the Belmont Holding
company Of Freehold against Meyer
Weinstein, also of Freehold. The suit
for $3.50 represented rent which M.
Schenkel, treasurer Of the company,
alleged Weinstsin owed for q months
occupation Of the Belmont hotel IN
Freehold, the one for $3.50 was for q
note which Weinstein was alleged to
have forfeited by violation of a lease
10 not paying months rent. In his
defense Weinstein sought to prove
surrender by saying that the landlord
told him on July ] to give him she
kew and he would run the hotel
Schenkel denied this, as also did bis
brother, Louis 5chenkel, who said he
was with him when Weinstein failed
to pay the rent, thereby breaking the
lease.

SO Years in Prison.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


WICHITA FALLS. Tex, June 23.-
Henry J. Toussaint was found guilty
of the charge of murder by a. jury at
Anson, Jones county, at $40 o'clock
this afternoon and his punishment
fixed at ninety-nine years in the state
penitentiary.
Toussaint was on trial for the Sec
ond time for the murder of his father,
o. H. Toussaint, former hotel pro-
prietor of Washington, d. c. The
elder Toussaint was killed in this
city on the night of February 6, 1921,
and the defendant was arrested the
following day. at which time he
made a confession, in. which he de-
tailed the killing of his father.
On the first trial the case had in
Wichita county, he was found guilty
and the death penalty assessed. The
appellate. court reversed the case on
grounds of misconduct of the jury
and, when the case was again set for
trial in this county last April, a
change of venue was granted and
the case was transferred to Anson,
Jones county. Trial began last Wed
nesday with the selection of the jury.
As in the former trial. the defenst
was insanity, it being contended that
the defendant was suffering with q
PERMANENT form of insanity.
The defense sprung a surprise in
the trial at Anson when the defend
ant took the stand and remained
there for four hours. He detailed
the history of his life. He exhibited
scars to the jury which he said were
placed there by blows from his ia
ther. The case went into the jury's
hands at 4:15 o'clock today and at
$50 a verdict had been reached. On
the first ballot the twelve men voted
guilty but it required, three ballots
to agree on the punishment, four
Jurors holding out for the death Pc
nalty.
