WINS
Two Bills In House and Sem
ate Under Consideration.
Conference Called.

The voice Of the American farmer
after crying loud and long for
relief from HIS economic illness
IL about to be answered by sub.
stantial remedial measures on the
part Of both the Legislative and
executive branches Of the Govern
1nent.
It developed today following q
meeting Of the Senate Agriculture
Committee, which has under con-
sideration the program Of President
Coolidge for the relief Of the wheat
farmers and the agricultural indus
try generally, that the Administra-
ton and the Congressional farm
bloc" are working toward a series
Of agreements ana compromises
which assure enactment Of essential
measures to rehabilitate the farm
ing interests.
Two Bills Prepared.
The first agreement IL expected
20 result in the passage Of bill to
create a Government corporation
for the sale and expectation OF s':r-
plus American farm products.
Two bills for this purpose are
now pending before the committee.
one by Senator McNary Rer.) Of

900 corporation. while the other,
sponsored by Senator Norris Rep)
Of Nebraska, one Of the progress
sive" leaders, provides for a $780,
O00,0OO corporation.
The McNary bill has the support
Of the Administration, but 1t Is OPP
posed by the progressives' who are
backing the Norris bill as better
swited to the interests Of the
farmers.

the same thing-provide Govern
ment assistance to enable farmers
to get their surplus sent overseas
an early agreement is looked Tor
on all sides.
Conference To Be Held.

Mayor Rolph is making the pro-

it is nearly completed and will
represent an outlay of nearly
$50, 900, 900.
Mayor ROlph went to the people

step in the great water and power

 Pledge To Priest

TRENTON, x. J.. Sept. 20.-John W. Mahan, central figure in the sen sational Schoellkopf jewel robbery ; in New York, died at his old home here to- day after making good his promise to a priest that he would restore. all of sthe gems with an approximate aggregate value of $300.000. gae
 Two years after Mrs. c. Hugo Schoellkopf, of Buffalo, had been robbed of diamnds and other precious stones at a party in New York, Mahan, exper- fencing change of heart, confessed to a priest that he had been the medium through which the jewels were market ed. His religious advisor counselled immediate admission to the police. Mahan complied. =, ,-
 Operating alone, but with the full knowledge and confidence of the police, Mahan set out to round up the jewelry. Eventually Mahan locateds all of the missing jewels. In one meeting with Mrs. Sehoellkopf in a New York hotel Mahan dumped on the table $120,000 worth of diamonds, pearls and rubies. The rest were subsequently, restored.
 Mahan, who had been a jeweler, told police that he had bought the entire col lection for $39,000. His mission ac- complished, Mahan returned to his old home here. He suffered from an acute form of heart disease and has been unable to leave his bedroom for several months. Death came today. He was 50 years old.

 @... Artists

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The Right Honorable Joseph H. McNally is the right honorable no longer. He is a king.
 With flip of his wrist and pat of his trowel the Right Honorable Joseph slapped into place Friday his 27 7,000, ,000th brick. It was at exactly 8 :23 o'clock and the place was an all most completed apartment houSe on Riverside drive.
 When the 26,999, ,999th brick was patted into it's squashy bed of mortar the other bricklayers stopped work. Then number 27.000,000 was tapped into plumb and such a shouting as there vas.
 k 7 Hank Ryan, who must be at least a duke among the bricklaying peerage, stepped forward and while the boys cheered and the Right Honorable Joseph blushed Hank pulled a pearl studded crown from under a wheelbarrow and advanced on the Right Honorable Joe.
 Ten seconds later the R.. H. Joe had become King Joseph, the bricklayer. and Hank Ryan, who was his closest competitor in the regal race led the cheers. On August 28 Hank was one up on Joe and hardly two hundred thousand to go when a spell of lumbago put the leader in the hospital.
 When the coronation was over King Josephs put his crown back under the wheelbarrow and returned to the bricks. A scoffer suggested that the pearls were phony and he, too, was crowned, but not with gems.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2U.-Severar Wall Street broker houses were reported today to have come to2the aid of the long-established firm of Day and Hea- ton, which is bankrupt through the all leged defalcations of GeoEge.R Chris tian, missing treasurer sf the firm! '
 According to investlgat6rs of,} the bankrupt business, creditor firms through which Christian is nderstood to have speculated with the Securities of Day and Heaton clients have signed waivers relieving the remaining five members of the bankrupt house from re- sopnsibility for claims aggregating sev- eral hundred thousand dollars. The attitude of Wall. Street generally was that the bankruptcy was brought about solely by the speeulations of a trusted official and that members of Day and Heaton should not be helds responsible for the alleged untrutsworthiness of their fellow member, the missing treas- urer.
