MARKE ING RULES FUR COTTON AND WHEAT UNDE ER IRE
President Of Wheat Pit Points Out Drawback Of Co.,
 operative Ventures

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.--(By Associated Press .)---Applicatio of fruit market ing rules to grain and cotton is the greatest blunder ever made in the CO., operative movements" John J. Stream, president of the Chicago Board Of Trade, declared here to- night.
 "The thought seems to prevail" he said, that cooperative ventures are in some way superior to the efforts of the Independent dealer or the present marketing system, while off, ficial records show that they arc subject to precisely the same haz- ards of any other business.
 Department of agriculture reports. he said, showed 243 farmers asso- citations had failed since. 1913 but added that cooperative marketing could serve a distinct purpose in the handling of perishable crops such as vegetables and fruits.
 "Perhaps the greatest blunder ever made ill cooperative movements is the present tendency to apply to grain and cotton the same market ing rules used for fruit. In market ing oranges;s-raisins, prunes or ap- ples 1t is necessary to create or stimulate the demand. But the de- mand for wheat does not have to be created. It is a worldwide, active, staple demand.
 Were wheat growers to band to- gether in sales campaign 1t would be impossible to double the consump- tion of wheat as the consumption of fruit might be doubled. Consump- tion could be increased only to linn fted extent
 Farmers have been told by ill., advised organizers that cooperative grain marketing would greatly en- hance the price. To the practical grain man or the student the argu- ment is ridiculous. To hold wheat off the market the price advance would only be temporary for sooner or later the wheat would have to be sold Were it withheld from the market for any length of time il might bring disaster. The sequent glut would inevitably bring ruin foI innumerable producers and owners of wheat.o

MISS FONTAINE WINS POINT AGAINST ADAlR

NEW YORK. Oct. 11.--The appelate division of the supreme court Ill Brooklyn today reversed a declsioh rendered by Justice Tompklns m Nyack in January, vacating aiiIiul- ment of the marriage of Evan Bur ,nwes Eontaine, dancer, and Sterl- SnE L. Adair. Justice Tompkins' va cation of the decree on the ground that it had been obtained by fraud in 1920, was made on motion of Mrs. Vanderbilt Whitney against whom Miss Fontaine had filed $l,000,0oo breach of promise suit. The suit was dismissed when the annulment was vacated.
 The appellate division ruled that Whitney was unable to make appn- cation for vacation of the Judgment because he had not shown that Q legal and equitable right of his mad been invaded. The case came up on Miss Fontaine's appeal. although. in the meantime, Adair had died and whitney had married Miss Marie Norton of New Hork Tn ParlS last May.
 Miss Fontaine obtained a decree of annulment on the ground that Adalr had been previously married and had not been divorced and said the mar riage had never been consummated Whitney was then served by her att torneys with a summons and com plaint in an action to recover S1,000,- GOO for alleged breach of promise to marry. Tn an attempt to upset her case. Whitney brought the action be- fore Judge Tompkins in Rockland county to have the annulnent decree ret aside. He was successful in this action, which was based on the ground that the court which granted the decree did not have Jurisdiction.
 Miss Fontaincs breach of promise has not been disposed of and tho action of the appleate division to- day places her in a position where slle can proceed to prosecution of her claims against Whitney, lawyers said.

LEGISLATURE GETS. SET TO IMPEACH

concluded his message with a plea that the legislature immediately pass a bill, which he himself prepared, that the people may be protected forever in their person, property and fundamental liberties"
 ''The conflict between the visible and invisible government must be brought to a close with a complete victory for the visible government or Oklahoma will face indefinite tur- moil and strife, the results of which arc bound to be disasterous, he said.
 "Hupdreds of Olslahomas citizens have been beaten and tortured while other hundreds have been threatened Tens of thousands of our citizens felt and protested that the law enforcing branches of the government. and in many cases, the courts were under the domination of an invisible empire whose silent appeal touches every aspect of human endeavor.
 My investigation discloses one case where six reputable citizens testified they heard the grand titan Of the Tulsa klan make a statement to the effect that there had been six different 'Mer Rouges' similar to the Louisiana affair, committed in his Jurisdiction.
 ESIansmen Blamed.
 Scene of these cases present out raSeS dllu nedIt-T6nuluB cruelty III the extreme in the form of mutilation some Of which are too awful to dis close in print, and all of which lead straight to the doorsteps of the in visible empire"
 This invisible. insidious and ter rorizing empire represents in an ex- aggerated form, fear, falsehood and religious hatred which is fully ex- amplified from it's origin.
 Tt ought to be apparent now that all citizens of this state will nor cravenly submit to the intolerance prosecution and outrageous vlo- fence of a hooded organization which operates in the dark and whose mem bership is secret. Racial and religi- ous bigotry and mob voilence are un- thinkable when practiced in the open they become traitorously and wick edly so when hidden behind the un- American mask.
 That these conditions may be i'm mediately terminated and that the people may be protected for ever in their person, property and fundamen- tai liberties, l recommend and urge that you immediately enact into a law the bill drawn and submitted here with which seems to be complete and adequate to meet every exigency and cotingncy This law provides for unmasking all citizens and compeis contingency"

DEMONSTRAT TIONS IF UNEMP PLOYED IN RUHR MENACINC
French Cavalry Is Called On To DiSperse Crowd In
 DueSSeIdorf

DUSSELDORF, Oct. 11-(By As sociated Press .)-Demonstration by the unemployed. some of a very threatening character. have already begun in the Ruhr. in consequence of the discharge of thousands Of workers by the metal industries The occupation authorities here pre- dict, rioting and plundering unless something is done immediately to re- lieve the plight of the workless.
 One of the most serious manifes- tations thus far occurred late this afternoon in Dusseldorf when more than 5000 persons gathered around the. town hall and soon became so menacing that the French cavalry and armored cars, which have been on duty since the separtist meeting on September 30. resulted in blood shed, were summoned hastily.
 The use of force, however, was un- necessary A French officer, speak ing German, addressed the crowd, on the steps of the building and told them to disperse quietly. The French, he said, would do what they could to aid them.
 Many Towns Resting.
 Demonstrations of similar char acter were reported today from near ly every large town in the Ruhr.
 It is feared the situation of the worknen and their families will be- come desperate before the month Is over. The German state authorities are powerless to offer relief, as the Berlin government. has decided that, beginning October IT, all responsi- bility for unemployment in the Ruhr will be transferred to the local mu- nicipal authorities in the occupied area.
 The purchasing value of the un- employment doles from Berlin has been severely cirtailed already by the disntegration of the mark. The 2.c00, 100000 marks which is the weekly dole to the head of a family is barely sufficient to buy bread for one adult for seven days The mu- ricipal authorities can do nothing because the cities have no income and the metalurigical plants refuse to be responsible while they have no orders for their products. Organ ized charity, it is said. is practically eXtant because there are no funds for the support of the charitable in stitutions.
 The situation is made all them ore serious by the beliet prevalent among the workers that their em- ployers' conditions are not so serious as the latter claims and that the in dustrialists are simply maneuvering to increase working hours and to clear the way for sweatshop methods throughout the entire district.

Early Action Wanted,
 Says Congressman Oliver

Henry Fords friends reasonably expected that he would not be de- tered from continuing his offer for Muscle Shoals, because of the recent action of the Secretary of War in selling part of the property included in the offer" said Congressman ". E. Oliver, who spent Thursday in Birmingham.
 Great national interest was shown in the acceptance of this offer and since it is the only offer for the Muscle Shoals plant that contem- plates its use for the purpose in- tended by Congress, when the first appropriation was made therefor in 1916--there will be no cessation, l am sure, in an insistent public demand that the next Congress take early been quoted, and I thing correctly so, as being interested in the con- tinuance of the offer.
 Alabama's Deep Interest.
 "Alabamians not only share the national interest that has been shown in this matter, but have even au added interest in that it promises to bring to Alabama another company in the development and distribution of it's hydroelectric power Should another company become interested. 1t will be increasingly important for the legislature to adopt a comprehen- sive water power policy, fair and just to the companes engaged in this business, as well as to the public In this event, Alabamians will not overlook, l am sure, the importance of amending that provision of ohi state constitution, which now pro. hibits one telegraph company iron buying or controlling stock in an other company, so as to make it ap- ply to water power companies a; well.
 Tt will now be interesting to ses whether some who have claimed te be warm supporters of the offer with Gorgas eliminated, will later become enthusiastic in thelr sup port. I fear some of these will fin( other objections, if put to the test
