BREAKS OUT
AGAIN
Farmers and THE Soap Trust"
Waiting for Harding to
Straighten Them Out.

soap is made. We who represent
the farmers intend to Illustrate the
soap trust. :"
This clear announcement OF the
lines Of the coming battle produced
a strong conviction here that the
fighting will be first-class and that
it will cause much worry to Re-
publican party managers. The chief
figure in the so-called and alleged
tSoan Trust is Col. William
Cooper Proctor, who is remembered
as having been able to be quite
prominent in the activities leading
up to the last Republican presi.
Dental nominating convention. The
oiI.producing farmers, on the other
hand, have the earnest support OF
the Congressional and Senatorial
farm bloc, which usually gets de
nounced and then usually has its
way in every Republican party de-
bate in Washington.
Conflict Is On.
A tariff expert remarked today:
eve see here the first outbreak
of the conflict between the agri-
cultural industry and the manufac-
turing industry under the flexible
tariff provisions Of the Fordney-
McCumber Tariff Law. 1t is an
irrepressible' conflict. Our manu-
facturers, in order to export, want
their raw materials cheap. But our
farmers, who have just risen into
great political power, are able now
to put high duties on foreign raw
materials and to keep the price of
domestic raw materials from fall
ing to the level desired by the
manufacturers. This fight between
the producers of oil and the manu-.
facturers of soap and of other prod
ucts made with oil is only the be-
ginning of a war which will last
continuously until the next tariff
bill is enacted"
Among the farm and fish repre-
sentatives gathered here in cooper
alton with Mr.. Holman are w. r.
Morse, w. A. Larner and G.. w.
Marble, of New York city, who all
are here to speak for fish oils:
John B. Piner, of Virginia; w. H.
Clarke, of North Carolina, and Rob
ert L. Barnhart, of Missouri who
speak for peanut oils; and G. s.
Roberts, of Oklahoma, and Ed
Woodall, Of Texas, who speak for
cottonseed oils. They are aided by
A. M Loomis, who speaks for the
National Grange, and J. A. Arnold,
who speaks for the Southern Tariff
Association.
These gentlemen all specifically
object to the idea that the Tariff
Commission should start any in
vestigation without a preliminary
hearing. They demand that every
investigation shall be preceded by
both a preliminary hearing and a
presidential permission. Thus the
manufacturers, haYing taught the
farmers to want a tariff, are now
regretfully finding that they taught
them successfully.

HAYS DECLINES
To TALK ON
QUIT TING
Rumor He Would Manage
Harding's Campaign Is Re-
vived in New York.

NEW YORK, April 25.-win Hays
today declined to comment on re-
newed reports that he would resign
as executive director Of the Motion
Picture Producers and Distributors
Of America to manage President
Harding's campaign for reelection.
The report was revived when Hays
spent two hours yesterday with the
President at his suite at the Wal.
dorf. The President talked also
with John T. Adams. present Re-
publican national committeeman
from New York.
Taken together, the conferences
were interpreted as having some un-
usual political significance.
Hays motion picture contract
runs until 1925, and he had previ-s
ously stated he would not quit be-
fore that time.
II must decline to comment on the
report" Hays said. ''I have been
constantly called upon to say yes or
no to similar reports"

Gaming, constitute its other sources
of revenue. The latter does not
begin to pay the wages of the blind
men and. women employed in the
work.
Practically all OF those attached
| to the institute are men or women
afflicted by blindness after reach
ing early middle life. A few be-
lieve they were born blind. For all
of them, however, it has been nee
essary to learn trade. The ma
jority of them mastered it within a
few weeks time.
Al. G. Ramisch, superintendent of
the institute, has been connected
with it for the past thirteen years.
He was forty years of age when
stricken by blindness as the result
of straining his eyes while following
his trade as a tailor.
Problem Simple.
1.-THE problem of making a blind
man or woman self-sustaining is
simple enough" said Ramisch, as
he sat Gaming a. chair seat. 1T is
La question OF finding such work
for them as they can do by finger
training. Chair Gaming is one of
those activities, only it takes a
blind person longer to do the Gaming
than one who can see. In time a
blind person could cane fast enough
to earn a living by it. Here we
are continually taking in new ap-
pIicants which holds down produc-
ton.
"One of the new activities / favor
is mop making. That is something
the blind can learn to do and which
they can do enough Of to make a
living. The fact that one loses his
eyesight does not mean he must
become helpless. If he has the
determination to work he can
learn to do things which will earn
money. There is nothing the
blind need more than an occupa-
you feel your affliction the most.
forget it, and that you do easiest
when you are working"
Visions of the institute becoming
one of the great industrial blind
center of the country are constantly
in the mind of President Miles. He
! has been a ceaseless worker for the
institute for years and today stated
his belief that with $15, 900 made
available the institute can quickly
be put in line to realize his ambi.
ton for it.
Workers Have Faith.
None of the workers at the
| institute have any idea where the
SIS, 900 will come from. But they
| believe it will materialize and that
before long the institute will enter
on it's enlarged sphere of activity.
There is a cop" in the neighbor
hood who keeps an eye open for the
men and the women seen CROPPING
their way toward the institute In
the early morning hours. He has
formed some few opinions, and
among them the conception has
sunk in that if all the men and
women in Washington were to find
| themselves stricken blind for abou,
two minutes there would be a solu
ton to where the $4,000 needed

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April 25.-
Before a tribunal of two, one Of
whom already is convinced Of the
defendants guilt. Sheriff j. r.
Jones, OF Leon county, today will
have the opportunity to defend him
self against proposed removal from
office.
Senators MacWiuiams and Stokes,

Ivestigating Martin Tabort's death
and other. convict peonage condi-
tons, constitute the COMMITTEES 70
hear his defense.
Jones has stated that he would
not resign, as there has been no
evidence against me except from
former convicts and persons whom
have discharged" but Senator
Stokes, whose queries to witnesses
before the investigating committee
brought out the facts, is frank to
admit that there has been enough
testimony from other sources to
warrant Jones' removal.
Have Facts for Action.
The senate, to which Governor
Hardes made the request for Jones
removal, will be governed in its
action by MacWilliams' and Stokes
recommendations.
Though the investigating commit
tee members seem convinced that
their probe Of Tabort's death has
brought out all facts the law
makers need in forming corrective
legislation, inquiry into convict con-
ditions in other camps will be con-
tinued when the committee re-
Sumes its sessions tomorrow.
Representatives Kennerly and
Smith left early today for Clara to
locate, il possible, the grave where
Tabort was buried. The body prob
ably will not be disinterred at this
time, as Judge Kneeshaw and G.
Crimson, North Dakota attorneys
assisting in the probe, have asked
delay until the chart of Tabort's
teeth arrives from Munich, N. D.,

Conflicting evidence of the site

The house probably will act to-

the house provides abolition of cor

COOKE CITY Will
GET new SHELTER

According to a press dispatch from
Livingston late last week, serious con-
sideration is being given by the Glen
garry Mining company of Cooke City,
a mining concern composed largely
of Miles City business and profession
al men, to a proposition of erecting
a smelter to concentrate their ore be-
fore it is shipped out of Cooke City
to Gardiner. The information was
given out in an interview with j. F.
Richard, a prominent stakeholder in
the concern.
"There will be no further shipments
of ore from the Glengarry properties
this winter" Mr.. Richard stated, "but
we are planning extensive operations
for the spring. Just now the roads will
not stand the traffic for trucking over
the mountain highway which leads
from the mines through the Yellow
stone park to Gardiner. l am on my
way to inspect the properties, but in

days before meeting Mr.. Hancock and

arrangements for supplies and oil for
{ the winter because, although we will
! not ship any more ore until spring,
: we plan to operate on crosscut and
s prospect work during the winter
s months.
I "I have been in the mining business
S for the past 20 years and have not
3 seen a more likely looking property
: if the body of ore which has shown
3 to exist so far is proven to be of any
3 great extent. We are planning to
& erect a smelling plant in the spring
and concentrate our ore before we
. ship it out of camp, thus saving or

the Glengary company and, although

3 $27 and our average shipments bring
s us about $37 to the ton"

athletic representatives of higher
learning here today. 1t is understood
that the Representatives of the respec-

of a meeting of athletic officials of
the two institutions a week ago at
which time the deadlock developed.
The entire question revolved about
the eligibility of players, the State

WOMEN AGAIN URGE
SOVIET RECOGNITION
Basis of Friendly Relations
Sought in Appeal to Secre-
tary Hughes.

The women's committee for rec
ognition of Russia. whose appeal
was answered by Secretary Hughes
on March 21 with the statement that
this government could not at the
present time recognize the soviet,
has again appealed to Secretary
Hughes and President Harding in an
Identical letter asking that an Amer
lean commission be appointed to sit
at table with a Russian commission
Ito find a basis of friendly relations
acceptable to both countries"
Pointing out that the women's
committee agreed with Secretary
hughes in his statement on several
Particulars, the letter set forth two
differences with Secretary Hughes.
The women protested that revolu-
tionary propaganda from Russia
would have little effect in America
and argued that in their opinion Mr..
Hughes was wrong in believing that
the present government Of Russia
would not accept his basis of recog-
milton nor fulfill its contracts If
made.
The present Russian government.
the women believe, has demonstrated
that it is ready to negotiate the
question of compensation for losses
suffered in Russia by foreigners and
that OF the Russian debts, provided
some means are found to make 1t
possible for them to pay"

new METHOD is TRIED.
Courts Change in Assigning Grim
inal Cases for Trial.

The new method Of assigning GRIM
inal cases for trial in the District of
Columbia court was started today. Here
tofore the United States attorney has
made the daily assignment of cases,
but the court has changed the order
of things and the clerk has arranged
a calendar Of cases in which issue
has been joined. The cases are set
down in order Of the number on the
indictments, the odd cases to be heard
in Criminal Division l and the even
cases in Criminal Division 2. This
order may be changed by the trial
justices.
Justice Bailey held a preliminary
call of the first 200 cases on the cal
endar today. A large number were
not ready for trial and continuances
were taken in some cases and nolle
pros entered in a number.
