TRY SOUND BUSINESS
AND NOT LEGISLATION
Master of National Grange Gives
Real Advice to Farmers in
Opening Annual Meet.

Atlantic City, N. declaring that
the problems of the farmer are
economic and not political, Louis J.
Taber of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, master of
the National Grange, in addressing
the opening session of the National
Grange annual meeting today, urged
the 100000 members of the organiza-
ton to seek a cure for their troubles
through adherence to sound business
principles, rather than by legislation.
AS Mr.. Taber is being groomed by
the National Grange as it's candidate
for secretary of agriculture, his adj
dress was taken to be an enunclatlon
of his views regarding the farm
problem.
eve have cold contempt for the
army of politicians" he continued,
"who belittle the intelligence of the
farmer by insisting that his prosperity
is dependent upon their support. True,
the farmer needs legislation, the same
as labor, finance and industry, but
Legislation at best is but an enabling
act. Shelp-help and not governmental
help will secure real prosperity. Ora
tors have expounded, commissions have
Investigated, writer's have given us a
deIuge of books and literature on
the farmers condition and its cure
with little benefit"
He pointed out that during the last
three years farm values had shrunk
500, 900, 100000, and that during 1922
more than 100000 tillers of the soil
had left the farm, and there probably
were more during last year.
The cooperative system of market
ing and production was also touched
upon, Mr.. Taber declaring that both
required careful study.

New Haven, Conn.-New evidence in
the death of Charles G. Rogers, nephew
of Mrs. Ogden Mills Reid of New
Ward Church, grand juror of the town
of North Haven, where Rogers was
found dying on the night of Nov. 1st.
The grand juror declined to discuss
the nature of the evidence, but said he
intended to take it up with States At
torney Arnon N. Alling Of New Haven
county. The states attorneys office
previously announced the intention of
the Office to stand on the report of
Coroner Mix that Rogers was fatally
injured when his head struck tele-
phone pole as he was leaning out of
the car driven by Miss Mari
Schneider of this city.
Constable Carl Carlson of North Ha-
ven reported that he had come into
possession of a blood-stained napkin
and towel, found by boy near where
Rogers was found dying in Miss
Schneider's automobile. Mr.. Church
declined to admit that the napkin and
towel were the new evidence in ques-
ton. There was no official confirma-
tion of rumors that Rogers had en-
gagged in a fight with another man at
a hotel. Mr.. Church last night an
nounced his intention to issue war
rant for Miss Schneider on a charge of
driving an automobile while intoxi-
Gated, basing his information on testi-
mony before the coroner that Rogers
and Miss Schneider drank liquor be-
fore and after the Yale-Army game
which they attended, and prior to
starting for this city from the Long
Hill Inn at Wallingford, where they
had dined.

run down the slayers.
Anthony Pferschy, 10, said he was

out bumped into him and knocked
him down, he told investigators. The
men ran to the corner and crowded
into the automobile, the door of which
was held open by the woman the boy
said.
The story renewed the "find the
woman" activities of the police begun
when they heard of a quarrel between
O'Bannion lieutenants and a rival
gangster over the Shaping of the lat

other girl who figured in the investi-
cation was Mary Laude, II, who was
held after she came to the federal

leader.
Detectives also sought any connec-

the shooting last night of James
Makes, who said he was truck driver
from Canton, Ohio, although his
clothes of expensive make bore New
York labels, and his hands belied the
story of his occupation, according to
detectives. Markes said two men shot
him and dragged him into an alley.

Jury in Prohibition Case
Told to Disregard Testi-
money of Food Men.
QUASH TWO COUNTS
Jury Has Little to Decide as
COngressman's Case Is Given
to Them This Afternoon.

Baltimore, Nd. - Charging the
jury in the trial of Representative
John Philip Hill, in the United States
district court, for alleged violation of
the Volstead act, Judge Morris A.
#Soper directed the jurymen to ignore
the definitions of intoxicating as ex-
pounded by DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
pure food expert, and DR.. Howard A.
Kelly of Baltimore.
These witnesses testified yesterday
that cider with 2.70 per cent alcohol
and wine with 11.64 per cent alcohol
are Intoxicating.
The judge also told the jury to find
Colonel Hill not guilty on the fifth
and sixth counts of his indictment,
which charge him with maintaining a
common nuisance at his home.
Dismiss Two Charges.
The testimony, the judge said,. did
not bear out these charges, and he
therefore dismissed them. Judge
Soper then said:
"The only things which you have to
determine in. this case are questions
Of fact which are narrow and few.
There is no question about the manu-
facture and possession Of the cider
and wine. The defendant admits
those charges" &
The taking Of testimony ended yes
terday when the government put three
rebuttal witnesses on IL tand. Hfr.
Hill is charged with violating the
Volstead act by manufacturing wine
and cider containing more than one
half of one per cent alcohol.
Hill Is Delighted"
Representative Hill expressed de-
light at the opinion handed down yes
terday by Judge ISoper that it was
the intention of congress in passing
the Volstead act to permit the manu-
facture of fruit juices and cider for
home use; that the elimination to one
half of one per cent alcoholic content
does not apply in such cases, the bev-
erages having to be intoxicating in
fact to be illegal; and that where
the admission is made that beverag-
es have been produced of higher al
coholic content the makers may pre-
sent evidence to show that they are
not Intoxicating in fact.
Declaring it one of the most i'm
portant so far given in connection
with the Volstead act, Mr.. Hill said.
"There is nothing in Judge Soper's
opinion that have not stood for ever
since begun my fight against the
ubiquitous prohibition law"

Hasendebein WINGED just trifie
when he heard the sentence of the

Capt. Emil Clausen Of the police de-
partment, took Hasendebein by the
arm and started to lead him from the

After spending an entire afternoon
hearing evidence at the inquest into the
death of Edward Christensen on Tues
day afternoon, the coroner's jury was

mine how the said Edward Christensen
received said injuries"
The verdict came after most inter
