Zepliak Death
Sentence Is
Lifted by Reds
Archbishop Must Serve Prison
Term-Soviet Acts TO Avoid
Impression of Persecu-
ton on Religion.

Moscow, March 30.-The death SEN
tence recently imposed on Archbishop
Iepliak, head Of the Roman Catholic
church in Russia, was commuted to-
day to 10 years Imprisonment under
strict isolation. The appeal Of Vicar
General Butchkavitch for clemency
was denied.
The central executive committee.
which met TO consider requests for
mitigation OF the sentences, said In its
decision that both prelates were de.
serving Of the penalty imposed by the
Moscow court. but that commute ton
was ordered ia the case OF the arch.
bishop because a certain element OF
the Catholic citizens in Russia might
exploit the sentence as being directed
against priests and their religion.
"Treasonable Connection"
The committee said It regarded that
the evidence in the case Of Monsignor
Bntchaviteh showed his direct trea.
sonable connection with an enemy Of
the state. The decision was signed by
President kalinin and Secretary Sap.
The court had fired the guilt OF
Citizen Zepliak who had been acting
contrary to the interests OF the work.

OF the proletarian revolution. BY con-
sistently directed action. he had made
use Of the laws which guarantee
equality for everyone in freedom Of
religion.
These actions are very heavy
crimes in the revolutionary republic.
which. as before. is surrounded by
numerous enemies There cannot or

the court.
However. taking into eonsidera-
ton that Zepliab Is the representative

of n penalty very well earned might
be interpreted by a certain backward
element OF the Catholic citizens Of

we. therefore, as an exception
from the penalty policy OF the repub-
lie, have decided to change the SEN

Reports on
Sugar Crop
n flict
Secretary Wallace Predicts
Record Production This
Year-Scouts Rumors
Of Shortage.
Differs With Hoover
BY Universal Service.

Washington, March 30.-A sharp
conflict of opinion between two mem
bers Of President Harding's cabinet
over the sugar situation now being
investigated by the Department OF
.Iupstice and the tariff commission
stirred Official circles today.
Secretary Wallace of the Depart
ment of Agriculture issued state
ment estimating that the sugar crop
for 1929 will be the largest in the
worlds history. It will amount to
2045o 600 short tons. Secretary Wal
lace said. This is 100000 tons great
er than the 1922 crop and 1000, 900
above the prewar average.
This estimate is a flat contradic-
ton of the statement issued by Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover. which was
generally interpreted as predicting a
shortage, and was made use OF by the
sugar manipulators to rig" the mar
ket and boost retail prices Of sugar
up to 10 cents.
No Shortage Likely.
Secretary Wallace intimates that the
prevailing high price will operate to
reduce consumption, thereby making
more than certain that there will be
no shortage. This is in further dis
Dute of the conclusions reached by
Secretary Hoover in making his re
port. The bulletin issued by Secretary
Wallace estimated the beet sugar pro-
duction in Canada and the United
States at 900 tons. compared with
l.1o2 900 tons in 1922 and with 654,-
900 tons in the two prewar years.
But this falling off OF 347 900 tons
In American beet sugar production, II
is pointed out Will be made up
by increased European production
amounting TO 5os.000 tons. The
European beet sugar production is
estimated at 4,972.O00 tons. compared
With 4.466,00o tons in 1922 and 1850,
900 tons in the two prewar years.
This increase in European produc-
ton indicates that European demands
for Cuban sugar may be less than
last year, thus destroying another
doleful phase Of the Hoover statement
which was construed as indicating a
shortage.
Increase in Cane Sugar.
The Department of Agriculture
estimates the Cuban cane sugar
production at 4.596.0O0 tons, COM
pared with 4,476.OoO tons in 1922. and
2.295,0 900 tons in the two prewar
years. But the total cane sugar
production Of all countries reporting
is estimated at 1875, 900 tons, COM
pared with 1860 900 tons in 1922 and
g.9f3,000 tons in the 191219i4 period.
Secretary Wallace added:
I'm estimating the world supply.
stocks of sugar on hand should also
lie taken into consideration. but sta
tistics OF stocks for many countries
are incomplete or unreliable.
The department is not prepared TO
estimate the probable consumption OF
sugar, stating that "for lack of defi-
nite measures of the extent to which
various factors, such as prohibition,
business conditions and price, may
Eject the consumption of sugar, no
satisfactory estimate OF consumption
can be made for the year 1922-23.

Dawes of Hell and Maria" fame,
President Harding's first budget di-
rector, has filled so many columns
that he scarcely needs an introduc-
ton. Sturdy, spectacular, a man of
tireless energy. Dawes is an energetic
doer
Young is just the opposite Tall al
most to the point of gangliness, so
reticent that he has never given more
than one or two interviews in his
lifetime, a man whose aversion to
physical exertion made him determine
early in boyhood on a "white-collar"
job. Young is almost exclusively
thinker.
About the only thing he and Dawes
nave in common is that both produce
results. Dawes built up one of the
most powerful banking institutions
in Chicago. During the war he served
in France, mostly as chairman OF the
general purchasing board Of the A.
4. F. As federal budget director he
was credited with saving between
$250.00O.000 and sS0O.000.Oo0. Now

r Held Too High.

Classified freight rates between
points IN the lower peninsula of
Michigan on the ono hand and Cen

the other are too high at present, the
Interstate Commerce Commission de-
cided Saturday.
Railroads were ordered to make re-
auctions on or before March 21. in
accordance with a standard Of meas
urement which the decision laid
down. Through the southern half of
the peninsula after that date, the de-
Cfs1on said, the class rates must be
based on a distance scale in which
the charge per mile is approximately
me same as that applying in rates
anectlng southern Michigan.
In other sections of the lower
peninsula, the decision said, the roads
may make the reductions by adding
from to 10 cents per hundred
pounds to the charges produced by
working out the same distance scale

u. S. BRIEF UPHOLDS
RAIL SCRIP TICKETS
Claims interchangeable Plan
Increases Profit-Piea
Against Injunction.

The Supreme Court, in a brief fIsd
Saturday by the Department OF Jus-
tice, is urged to uphold the in..x
changeable railroad scrip ticket law
The case is to be argued soon. ana
the brief seeks dismissal Of an in
junction obtained in the Massacbu-
setts federal court by the New York
Central and other lines against Ire
observance.
Joined with the government is the
National Council of Travelling Sales
men and other travellers orgauiza-
tions.
The interchangeable scrip law ts de-
clared in the governments brief TO be
"a reasonable provision for those
travelling frequently on railroads. Its
probable erect, the government as
serts, would be to increase railroad
revenues, and not decrease them. as
alleged by the carriers in the injunc-
tion proceedings which resulted in
suspension of an Interstate Com
merce Commission order providing
for sale Of the coupon tickets at
reduction Of 20 per cent from regular
passenger rates.
THE practice of issuing mileage
tickets had prevailed for more than
fifty years with the sanction OF stat
utes and cases, federal and state
the brief states. declaring that the
Injunction against the new form of
ticket was obtained on Technical and
narrow grounds.
The government denies that the
scrip coupon tickets are discrimina-
tory and contends that the Interstate

favored rather than injured the car

SENATOR KING ASKS.
u S. ENTER COURT
Says Entry Is Step Toward
World Peace, in Radio
Address.

Ratification of the protocol pro-
posing adherence Of the United
States to the world court was strong
1y recommended by Senator King of
Utah, democrat, in an address broad
cast Saturday night from radio station
WRC, Washington.
THE opportunity is before u.s."
said Senator King, "to make an i'm
portant contribution to the lasting
peace of the world. Municipal law
and it's just enforcement make for
domestic peace, and international
law and courts to interpret it are
essential to the peace and happiness
OF nations.
"A world international court is
projected, not as a vain. but as
practical and rational scheme; and
we are invited and importuned to let
the voice of America be heard in the
councils of the nations.
THE republics of Europe are as
near to us as those of Latin Amer
lea. The republican principle applied
by the states of the old world is as
as when applied to the states of the
western hemisphere. We have no
fear of European aggression upon
American shores, either north or
kOuln OF from east OF west.
We have no design or intention
TO enter into alliances against any
country, government or people in the
world. The righteousness of Amer
lea and the strength of our free
people are adequate to the protection
territorial integrity. There are none
who will deny or challenge this po-
sition. But we cannot be truly hap
py by ourselves. We cannot be con-
tpht nP
under bushel.
Means Peace Of Nations.
"The peace of nations means the
concord of nations. The world court
must accordingly be set up by the
concord, of nations. 1t must be
process of peace. 1t must be a proc
ess of free national acts by uncoerced
states. 1t is not an easy thing to
bring the nations of the world into
agreement.
THE world court cannot be set up
by any one nation: the constitution
of this court must be the joint act of
all nations, 1t must arise out of the
agreement of nations. To have
brought the nations into agreement
upon a project Of this kind Is of itself
worthy consummation. Practically
all nations have agreed, but our own
government hesitates to affix the ma
tional seal to the protocol Of adher-
ence to the constitution Of the Per-
manent Court of International JUS
tice' which has been established at
The Hague and to the bench of which
= distinguished jurist from among our
own countrymen has been elected.
ITO refuse to ratify this protocol
will by many be regarded as a re-
pudiation of the projects for peace
and justice to which our country has
been committed by those in authority,
without regard to their partisan con-
nections. The project for the Inter-
national Court of Justice is an Ameri-
can project"
