Chief Read Arranges Confer.
ence With Prosecutor to
End Differences.

"Everythtng's going to be all
right" said Edgar N Read, chief of
general prohibition agents in the
District, as he prepared for confer
ence today with Assistant District
Attorney Baker, who in Police Court
recently criticized dry agents and
their superiors for alleged failure to
cooperate with his office.
II am very optimistic as to the
outcome of this meeting" said Mr..
Read. II believe that quiet talk
will clear up a number of questions
which are probably as perplexing to
Baker as they are to me.
Il is Reads intention to bring
from the conference definite plan
Of procedure, whereby prohibition
agents OF his office will be in Police
Court on days when they are needed
as witnesses Bakers attack on the
dry unit was based on the non-ap-
pearance of James L. Asher and
Francis Hertzig in a bootlegging
case, which latter was thrown out OF
court at the prosecutors suggestion.

Former Times Reporter Finds
Relief Work in Russia Takes

MINSK, Russia, April 18.-The
road of the American Relief Ad.
n1inistration's district supervisor
may be strewn with hardships, but
1t has its recompenses. According
to Charles NJ. Willoughby, Of
Washington, D. c., former Wash

down such a job very effectively
here in the White Russian metropo-
lis, the district chief of the A. r. A.
gets more all-round experience
along vocational lines than the
average correspondence school can
promise.
"For instance" Willoughby ex-
plains, 'any fellow who has been
conducting feeding stations and kit
chens for at least a week can find
more different ways of keeping a
refugee baby from swallowing his
cocoa cup than a Russian can find
excuses for holidays. After a month
or two he becomes an embryonic
doctor in children's ailments; he is
an experienced cook, and a still
better chef; he can build a fire in
a broken stove with wet wood in
manner that would make an
Indian envious, he can hustle
generally discover what is wrong
with an automobile and right it
before he can explain his beliefs
to the Russian chauffeur, who
couldn't understand him, anyway.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-What effect
will the grain futures act, held to
be constitutional and valid by the
supremescourt of the United States.
have upon the grain markets and
the Chicago board of trade?
Among members, OF the exchange
you can get every kind Of answer
TO that question, from the express
sion of the opinion that it will OBJ
solutely destroy both, to the view
that it will have little or no ERECT
on either.
President John j. Stream OF the
board of trade, says:
1T is needless to say that the
Chicago board of trade win obey
the law which has been approved
by the highest tribunal in the land.
We viii cheerfully conform IN
every particular to the law.
What effect some Of its provis-
ions will have on the orderly mar
keting of food commodities, the tu.
ture alone can disclose. II the law
fails to be a panacea for agr1cuI-
tural ills, it will be through its own
deficiencies and not because Of hin
drance from the grain exchange.
Important Business Effect.
To me it looks as If it will have
a very important business effect on
the Board of Trade as an organiza-
ton eventually, whether 1t has any
marked immediate effect on prices
or not.
The allowance Of cooperative So
cieties to make use Of the privileges
of the EXCHANGE on basis that
makes it possible for them to re-
bate commissions to their members
may lead to the reducing OF the
commissions.
This, it seems to me, might be
q natural consequence OF connpeti-
ton between cooperative societies
and other members, for the high
er commissions are the greater re-
bates cooperative societies could
make. and consequently the more
business they should be able to
attract.
On the other hand. If commits
sions were reduced the reduction
would make less and less the adj
vantage. by way of rebates, then
the cooperative society could offer
its members.
Out of commissions must come
the expense OF conducting the bust
ness. and the less these commits
sions are. the less surplus there viii
be for rebate by cooperative organi-
cations

Ex-Gov. BiIbo Throws
Hat in Ring From
Door of Cell

OXFORD, Miss, April 1S.-
"After twelve years of faithful
service as senator, lieutenant
governor and governor it would
hardly be fair to my friends to
close my political career in
jail"
Theodore G. Bilbo, former
governor of Mississippi, has set
the politicians to specializing by
issuing the above statement
from the Oxford jail, where he
is serving a thirty-day sentence
imposed by Federal Judge E. r.
Holmes for contempt of court
for his refusal to answer a sum-
mon to testify in the Frances
Birkhead 100000 damage suit
against Gov. Lee M. Russell.
Ex-Governor Bilbo has spent
his time comforting with politi-
cal friends, and stated that,
pending the conclusion of these
conferences, he would have no
further statement to make as
to his plans politically.

TREASURY SEES
SURPLUS IN
SIGHT
Business Prosperity Brings
Increased Revenues and
Expenses Decrease.
By w. H. ATKINS,
international News Service,

Business prosperity is responsible
for an increasing volume Of Govern
ment revenues from pri lcipal
sources, Treasury officials an
nounced today. A Treasury finan.
cial statement reflected the healthy
state of the nations finances and
forecast the certailty that the Gov
ernment's ledger at the end of the
fiscal year will show a substantial
surplus of receipts over expendi-
lures.
Customs revenues will exceed $780,
600, 900 by June 80. Collections have
reached $429, 000, 900 from this source
and are pouring in at the rate of
more than $4,000 900 a day.
Earnings Greater.
Larger earning power of the
maximum employment for labor of
all classes, is shown by the steadily
rising revenues from income taxes.
Income taxes paid in the first three
quarters amounted to 1927, OOO, 900.
This will be increased by nearly
$50O,000,O00. when the collections
for the second quarterly insta1lment
for this calendar year are tabulated
Railroad security sales have
amounted to about 800, 900, 900. and
cleared the decks Of a substan tial
part of this character of obligations
acquired out of Government opera.
ton Of the railroads during the war.
Total Government ordinary re.
ceipts have totalIed $1,000, 888 .OO0
While this is about $500 900 900 be.
low the figure for the corresponding
period last year, the total revenues
are above the budget estimates,
owing to the larger customs and in.
come tax payments.
Expenditures Lower.
Total ordinary expenditures have
amounted only to $2,536, 900 900
about $500, 00O, 900 less than the re.
ceipts. The expenditures also are
about $4,000, 900 below those OF
the corresponding period last year
due to Government economy meas.
ures invoked by the President and
Budget Director Lord.
Officials are encouraged by the
fact that the postal deficiencies are
about $4,000, 900 below last year,
and that Government spending for
the Shipping Board and other ex.
traordinary purposes have been
sharply reduced.

Navy Filler in Game.
Then the navy got into the game
just to show the army that It could
do something in the way of flying
on its own hook.
Lieut.. Rutledge Irvine, Anacostia
station, Washington, d. c., set a

Dayton Wright naval plane just
built. This flight lasted two and
q half hours and convinced even the

or shot, making the total weight
or the plane with the pilot and oh,
server 5000 pounds. It climbed up

drive to the suburbs, profusely
thanked him, and explained that the
money was wanted only as a loan.
Furthermore. they assured him the SO
would be mailed back to him as soon
as possible.

more money and a watch in other
pockets the hold-up men seemed
grateful for and satisfied with the
small sum given them. The ete-a-tete
took place at Murdoch Hill road on
the way to American University.
