evidenced from reply to a com
municat;on sent by r. 7. Hurtt. Com.
mercial club secretary. from Mr.
Hoover. Rejection OF farm products
1T the destination following satisfac
tory inspection at the shipping poin
paved the way for presenting the mat
ter to Mr.. Hoover.
Mr.. Hoover wrote:
81 am we'll aware OF this situation
which involves the whole produce
trade. II the government should in
'ervene in this matter at all it would
require some competent government
lgency working in close cooperation
with the trade to solve the situation
A large part OF the difficulty arise
from unresirained consignment ship
ments causing market gluts and
forcing either the buyer or seller to
take a loss.
What we need is a be.ter-directed
system OF distribution that removes
the necessity OF these heavy losses
Mr.. Lincoln Hutchison, representing
this department. is now in the north
west studying this situation with the
idea OF evolving some practicable
pan. A copy OF your letter wi be
forwarded to him and hope he viii
be able to see you. AT any rate We
are aware OF the sitra,ion and are at.
to work out some solution.

IuXACE PADEREWSKI

"Ping Lung still lives, but do
not expect him to last out the day."
With these words Or. w. p.
Tague crushed the hopes Of the.
adorers Of the fat little Peklnese
who once belong to the son Of the
last emperor Of Nnina and Is now
the darling Of Ignace PaderewskI,
late anti-RoIshevIk premier Of Po-
land.
Newspapermen and photograph
ers, the eyes Of the bourgeois world,
are keeping the last death watch on
the prize pup. It is tragedy that
obIiterates the fact that thousands
Of migratory workers are half
starving on West Madison st. and
that greedy landlords are putting
mothers with families out into the
street.
Pity for PInuI II looks like cur
talns for him, as he lies In his lac

ment Of the Paderewsk Pullman

suffering from the same pIutocratic
disease which nearly carried off
Fat Bill Taft some time aeo-aeute
stomach ache from eating too much
rich food.
Ping is IS and fat. He has over
INDUCED in everything. Or. w. P.
Tague who has been giving him
hours each day has nearly given up
hope. NJ. Paderewski and the
Madame are heart-broken. The mea-
sure Of their anguish can be gagged
by the fact that they are showing
more distress over the illness of
their dog than over the starvation
of the workers of Poland.

COOLIDGE HACKERS AT
THE STANDARD OIL ~"
ARE VERY HARD LOSERS

Charges Of political trickery were
made today in connection with the
presidential nomination Of Senator
Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin By
mock Republican national conven-
ton at the University Of Chicago last
night.
"The entire LaFollette business
was framed by a group of radicals in
the political science department" c.
D. Mcbride, senior and president
of the Coolidge club declared. 1T was
carefully plotted by LaFollette work
ers who wanted it said the University
Of Chicago favors the Wisconsin SEN
ator."
Mcbride refused to place the name
Of President Coolidge in nomination
because he charged the convention
was dominated by radicals and reds"
He declared he refused to nominate
any real American on the platform,
which called for recognition of Rus
STA, total disarmament, continuance
of the "gentlemen's agreement" with
Japan, independence of the Philip
pines and other similar planks. Nc
Bride then bolted the convention, fol-
lowed by several solid Coolidge dele
cations.
LaFollette was nominated on the
first ballot, receiving 1873 votes. Pres
ident Coolidge was given SO; Senator
Hiram Johnson 81; Senator Borah 49,;
Secretary of Commerce Hoover IL.
and former Governor Lowden 3.

APPEAL IS MADE
FOR PARDON OF
PA. POLITICALS
Favorable Action Would
Stop Fl Cases.
az The Federated Pressl

NEW YORK, April 18.-On the
ground that the prosecutions violated
constitutional rights Of free speech.
the American Civil Liberties Union,
New York, is appealing for immedis
ate and unconditional pardons for
four victims Of the Pennsylvania
state sedition act. The prisoners, Jo-
seph Martinovitch and Israel Blanls.
enstein, Communists, and Charles
Spinach and Steve zonoff, members
of the Union of Russian Workers.
were convicted in 1921 and 1922 for
terms from three to five years.
In the cases of the first two mere
membership in the Communist Party
was held violation OF the law. The
only testimony against the men was
given by a government spy. Spinach
and zonoff were convicted for distrib-
uting radical leaflets.
Twenty-one Workers Party mem
bers are waiting trial at Pittsburgh,
Farrell and Philadelphia under tha
same state sedition act, and II is ex-
pected that the ruling of the pardon
board at Harrisburg in the four cases
now before it will have an important
effect upon the pending prosecutions.
The governors OF Illinois and New
York have long since pardoned the
prisoners held under the sedition
laws OF those states. Governor Pin
chot of Pennsylvania opposed the Sc
dition law in question before he be-
came governor.
Francis Fisher Kane, former United
States district attorney at Philadel-
phia, who recently returned from Rus
STA, is conducting the appeal OF the
four cases before the Harrisburg par
don board
