CHICAGO, March 5.-John D.
Rockefeller is IAN abject pauper
serving life sentence in castle
at Tarrytown," Eugene Debs told
Socialists here yesterday in the
opening speech Of his campaign for
William Guinea, lawyer and Social
ist candidate for mayor.
He pictured Socialism as an asso-
citation of men working for each
others good, and compared their life
to what he said was Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's.
John D. Rockefeller, who has
the most dollars of any man in the
world, to my way of thinking, is an
abject pauper," Mr.. Debs said. He
is not d prisoner in Atlanta. but is
serving a life sentence in castle
at Tarrytown, n. Y.
This castle is provided with a
lighting system through which, by
pressing a single button, the entire
building and grounds will become

The world-famous correspondent
and traveller, Frank G, Carpenter
has lust made an exhaustive study
of conditions in Denmark among the
farmers. A few issues ago we gave
in the Tri-Weekly Journal his re-
port of the Danish cooperative pur-
chasing associations. Here is the
first installment of his report of their
CO. operative selling organizations:
BY FRANK G. CARPENTER
HILLEROD, Denmark-In the
heart of the Island Of Seeland,
under the shadow Of the mighty
castle of Fredericksburg, erected
by king of Denmark when the
Pilgrims were climbing out of
the Mayfower onto Plymouth
Rock, and the people of Denmark
were practically slaves, 1 write
of an egg.
1t is a big egg, a fresh egg, and
moreover, an egg of pure gold.
1t is not, however, the golden
egg thrown into fiction by that
Danish Greater of fairies, Hans
Christian Andersen. That egg
was laid by a goose. This is laid
by hen. I do not know whether
she is black Langshan, Mi
norca, a Leghorn, or a White
Wyandotte, but she is one of the
eighteen million hens, each of
which keeps dropping into the
pockets of the Danes from two to
two hundred and fifty eggs every
year. / have already described
how these farmers, by co-opera-
ton, have eliminated the middle
man in their buying. In this let
ter [ would write something of
their thousands of cooperative
associations, which eliminate
the middleman in their selling,
giving them the highest cash
prices for all they produce.
We shall first visit the Helpful
Hen in her home. She laid last
year for export more than six
hundred million eggs in Den
mark, and she has INCREASED her
annual product more than one
third since 1914. There are now
something like sixty thousand
chicken farmers belonging to the
Egg Export association, which
raise their chickens according to
rule and ship the product in COM
mon. They are combined into
more than five hundred local So
cieties, to which they must de-
liver every egg laid except those
used on their tables, and to
which each pays a fine of $1.3S
every time he slips in bad one.
The constitution of each society
provides that the members COL

HUGHES SPALD|NC IS.
VICTIM Of SW|NDLE;
IDENTIFIES SUSPECT

NEW ORLEANS, March s.
Hughes Spalding, Atlanta attorney,
today identified Fred F. Deibel, in
parish prison here, as the man who
victimized him out of $3.50 in At
lanta. Deibel probably will be sent
back to Atlanta for trial.
Mr.. Spalding declared Deibel,
who was arrested yesterday, is the
Frank J. Bingham, who appeared in
his office on February Is, and
asked Mr.. Spalding to collect 49,
900 payment on a note, due from a
New Orleans man. A few days la
ter the attorney received a cashiers
check for $4,000 from New Orleans
and after deducting his fee gave
Bingham his personal check for
| $2,85O. Later it was learned the
| $4,000 check was forged.
Deibel, according to detectives, a
number of years ago. obtained $15,-
| 900 from law firm here through
similar scheme. He was sentenced
| to seven years in the penttentiary
| for the crime. He denies being i'm
plicated in the Atlanta episode and
will fight extradition.
CONFIDENCE GAME USED
HEIGHT OF CLEVERNESS
The height of cleverness was
reached in the confidence game
worked on Attorney Hughes Splad.
! ing, in which he was deffauded of
$3.50, according to the details re-
vealed in Atlanta Monday.
1t is said that the method employ
ed was as follows:
A man with the appearance of
affluence called at his law office
about the middle of February, pre-
scented a letter of introduction, now
believed to have been a forgery, and
said to Mr.. Spalding.
II am leaving Atlanta within a
few hours. I have in my safety de-
post box a past due note for $4,000
CT which this is a copy" handing
to Mr.. Spalding a memorandum pur'
porting TO be a copy CT an obliga
ton of citizen of New Orleans.
IT think the man is solvent and
honest" he told Mr.. Spalding, but
I have urgent Business which will
engage me, for week or so, and |
will be glad if you will act as ny
attorney and collect it."
Mr.. Spalding said he would pre-
fer not to undertake the business
unless he had the original note. His
caller was regretful that he did not
have the original paper, but urged
him to write to the New Orleans
man in his behalf, saying he was
sure there would be no trouble, and
Mr., Spalding finally accepted.
A reply came from the New Or
leans man Immediately, enclosing
New York exchange for $4,000 on the
account and giving promise Of pay
ing the balance within short
time.
A few hours later the same day
Mr.. Saplding's client appeared and
asked if he had had any luck with
the account.
Mr.. Saplding told Of the letter
and enclosure he had just received
His client said, II thought you
would have no trouble. The man is
honest, am sure, and will pay thu
rest, I believe. BY the way, 1 an
leaving town in half an hour. This
check is payable to you. Suppose
you give me your check for the
amount, less your fee, and I will
cash it before taking my train"
This Mr.. Spalding did. The New
York exchange was pronounced a
/ forgery.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
Department Devoted to the Pool Selling of All Farm Products

Rocks, White Wyandottes, Black
LangShans and Minorcas.
Here at Hillerod / have visited
the packing establishment Of one
of the egg export societies. It is
a long, low, one-story building
filled with cases of eggs, each egg
in it's little pasteboard compart-
ment like those used for ship
ping eggs in the United States.
These cases come in from the
farms. AS soon as they arrive,
the eggs are taken out by young
women and laid on network Of
woven wire fitted into the top
of a barrel over two incandescent
light globes, of one hundred can
die power. The room is dark,
except for these globes, and the
powerful light shines through
the eggs, showing the least age
or defect. Every egg which has
not a translucent red color is
taken out, those which are not
perfect are set aside by them
selves. If they are bad they are
destroyed, and the farmer is
fined S1.3S per egg. Some Of the
imperfect eggs are used for pick
ling, which means that they are
packed away in watts of lime
water, which serves the same
purpose as cold storage, enabling
them to be sold as picked eggs
during the winter. After cam
ding the good eggs are sorted
according to size and packed in
excelsior. First comes a layer
of excelsior and then a layer Of
,ggs, followed by another of ex-
celsior and another of eggs until
they fill the box, which is about
two feet wide, one foot high and
perhaps five feet in length. The
eggs are sold by the pound or by
the score. and not by the dozen
as with us. They are sometimes
packed in small cases of sixteen
pounds each. They are then
ready for shipment to England
The manager of the society
tells me he can easily decide
the approximate age of an egg
by it's appearance over the cleo
trio light. He showed me how,
in perfectly fresh egg, the
yolk lies in the center, and how
each egg contains a little pocket
Of air which he says is placed
there by the Lord to give breath
to the baby chick before it ex-
pands it's lungs in the open.
After the egg attains an age
Of week or so the yolk is apt
to leave the center and drop
down to, the side Of the shell,
and there are other indications
which show the number of days
since the egg left the hen.

GASOLINE MAY COST

WASHINGTON, March ga
dollar a gallon for gasoline" is the
prospect held up for the consumer
in the report of the LaFollette oil
investigating committee to the SEN

break what the report declares to
be a complete domination and con-
troll Of the oil industry by the
Standard companies. If few great
oil companies are permitted to
manipulate prices" during the
doing since 1920, the report pre-
scented yesterday said. the people of

control in such manner as to fix
1.-The price which the producer of
crude oil receives at the well, the
price which the refiner receives for
his gasoline and kerosene as we'll
as the retail price to the con-
sumner"
Asserting that the more subtle
methods of such control placed the
industry and the public even more
completely at the mercy of the
Standard oil interests" than before
the supreme court decree dissolv-
ing the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey and it's subsidiaries, the
| fhof tfyxyifn CliOhf
ceptions" there was still a total
avoidance of competition among the
Standard companies. Not only is
there still division Of marketing
territory among them over the en-
tire country, the report said, but
two Of the leading Standard COM
panies-New Jersey and New York
divide the world between them
selves in marketing operations"
Other methods of control set forth
in the report were ownership by
the Standard companies of the
principal pipe lines, interlockine
stock ownership, fixing of prices in
the producing fields, and ownership
of basic patents for the cracking
process of gasoline production.
Among eight measures recon-
mended by the committee to curt

and deliver them weekly, and
that no egg delivered shall be
more than seven days old. Each
society is numbered, and the
number must be stamped on each
egg so that every bad egg can be
traced back to the farm and al
most to the nest i'm which it
was laid. The result is that the
eggs sold are uniformly good,
and command the highest price
on the market.
Along about two generations ago
one could buy two eggs for
cent here all the year through.
A little later steamers began to
run direct from Copenhagen to
England, and these cheap Dan
ish eggs found favor there.
Shortly after our Civil war, one
million eggs were exported, and
they brought eight thousand dol
lars. Within twenty years the
number had multiplied one hun
dred times, and last year the eX-
ports included more than six
hundred and twenty-one million
eggs which neted seven or eight
cents apiece. Today Danish
eggs are used all over England,
and millions go to other coun-
tries as well.
During my automobile travels
over Denmark, have visited the
chicken, farms. Their owners
combine this business with the
raising of grain and root crops
which are always fed to the cat
tie and pigs. The chickens are
kept in yards surrounded by
high fences of wire closely WOW
en-. Each pen is about fifty
feet square. 1t is carpeted with
grass, and in it's center is a little
red henhouse made of boards,
about six feet in height, six feet
wide and eight feet long. This
contains roostS and nests. 1t
has a number UPON it, and by
this number the chickens within
are recorded in the stock books
Of the farm. Each pen contains
a rooster and perhaps one dozen
hens, and every hen has little
metal anklet about her right
leg upon which is stamped her
number so that the farmer can
tell exactly to what extent she
is earning her living. The
chickens are fed on grain and
chopped feed. They have also
cooked potatoes and tankage,
and just the right proportion of
crushed bone to supply the lime
for egg shells. The business is
carefully studied and the best
breeds are chosen. One of the
farmers visited tells me his best
layers are the White Leghorns,
although he keeps also Plymouth
