the prune problem will no longer
exist.
investigation shows that more
prunes are consumed in the small
towns and rural district, relatively,
than in cities. This is probably be-
cause more attention is paid to diet
and economy of foods in that ter
ritory.
"1n the small town and on the
farms the families are relatively
larger, their appetites are keeuer.
More wives do the cooking The
housewife looks for healthful foods
at low cost and prunes belong de.
cfdedly to this class. Furthermore,
the housewife knows how to'~cook
prunes. And in the last analysis
that's the deciding factor in mer-
chandising the crop. Properly
cooked, prunes are delicious. Cali
fornia prunes require no sugar.
Try them once, cooked right. and
the eating of prunes becomes a
habit"

LODGE COURT
Plan, BELIEF
President Never Had More
Than Lukewarm Interest
in Harding Proposal
By GEORGE r. HOLMES,
international News Service.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge has
administered a longtime sleeping
potion to the. Harding. Hughes pro-
posal that the United States adhere
to the World Court OF Justice set
up by the League OF Nations.
This was the well-nigh unani-
nous opinion today Of both Repub-
licans and Democrats here follow
ing the presentation by Lodge OF a
brand new world court proposal
which would take the United States
into a court entirely divorced from
the league and modelled after the
old Hague Tribunal.
Whether the Lodge court has the
support of President Coolidge was
a matter of keen speculation today.
The White House maintained
silence. There is reason to be-
lieve, however, that President Cool
idge was acquainted with the out
line of the Lodge plan before its
presentation to the Senate. and
those who favor 1t were quick to
point out that the new proposal
follows generally the ideas hereto
fore expressed by the President
as to the kind of a world court the
United States should join.
President Coolidge has never
warmly espoused the Harding
Hughes proposal that the United
States adhere to the League Court
with reservations. although he has
commended It on two occasions in
his first message to Congress, and
in his recent New York speech. In
both instances, however, he has
confined himself to merely recon-
mending 1t to the favorable CON
slider alton, Of the Senate and the
country.
He has consistently refrained
from any effort to force action
upon It.
Republican Senators who have
steadfastly opposed the Harding
Hughes proposal. accepted the
Lodge plan today as substitute
for the Harding Hughes plan. and
privately declared 1t meant a
knockout blow for the latter De-
MED the support Of Lodge and his
associates in the powerful Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. they
did not see how the league court
could possibly be ratified by the
Senate.
The Lodge plan was carefully
drawn to meet all of the objections
raised by the irreconcilables to the
Hughes proposal.
Not only would the Lodge court
be entirely disassociated from any
connection. however remote, with
the League. but it also would be
limited to the class of American
issues with which it could deal.
The Monroe Doctrine, American
war debts, and immigration issues
would be specifically exempt from
the courts Jurisdiction. thus pre-.
venting, for instance, Japan taking
the question of exclusion. of France
taking the matter of her $4,000
900 900 debt into court.
While, it is believed, President
Coolidge was aware Of Senator
Lodges move before lit was made.
it was said today the new pro-
posal came as complete sur,
prise to Secretary of State Hughes.
No action cana be taken on
either proposal in the short time
remaining Of the present session
of the Senate.

7 DRY DEFEATS
CHURCHILL
AGAIN
Former Minister Loses Third
Election Contest Within
Eighteen Months.

LONDON, March 20.-Otho
Nicholson, a Tory, has been elected
to the House of Commons in the
Westminster district, defeating his
three oppopapts, including former
Minister Winston Spencer Churchill,
it was announced this afternoon.
The Westminster by-election was
held yesterday and a heavy vote
was cast. 1t was the third time
within eighteen months that
Churchill had run for Parliament,
being defeated in every election.
Churchill ran upon an indie.
pendent, anti-Labor platform. The
other two candidates were Scott
Duckers, Liberal, and A. Fenner
Brockway, Laborite.
Until the downfall of the Lloyd
George government, Churchill was
regarded as virtually fixture

At one extreme there are certain
hard-boiled Old Guardsters, Of both
parties, who think that nothing Of
any Importance has been revealed.
These gentlemen, however, il they
are Democrats, do not express this
view of theirs openly because they
do not wish to give comfort to the
Republican Administration; and, II
they are Republicans, they are usu-
ally silent because they are afraid
OF seeming to object to an investi-
cation, and It Is regarded as bad
politics to seem to be against any
investigations at this time.
The silence Of the mass of Repub-
lican Senators under the slashing
attacks by the Democrats is bitterly
resented by certain ether elements
in the party and today led an an
guished Republican officeholder to
remark:
1.-THE Senate consists on one side
Of a set Of political polecats and on
the other side Of a set Of political
paralytics."
Another Republican officeholder
equally Indignantly remarked:
1--WE have heard before of fugi-
tives from justice. 1t remained for
our Republican Senators to be
fugitives from injustice"
Have Strengthened Coolidge.
One undoubted political result of
this behavior on the part Of Re.
publican Senators has been a
a. - ~
q party leader.
Since few or no Republican Sen.
ators are willing to stand up and
say anything in general defense of
the Republican party In any such
way as to rouse and rally the
party to fight back against the
Democrats, 1t follows that the
mere calmness and steadiness Of
the White House. has become in.

Anguished at Sight, Has
BootIeggers Arrested.

Anguished at the sight of his
mother, a wealthy Washington So
ciety woman, in the throes of a
drunken spree that continued for
nearly a month, a youth, whose
name police declined to divulge,

Terenyi. She was alone when the
raiders entered her rooms in quest

luctant in informing the police. in
view of the impoverishment of the
Terenyi family, it is stated he was
driven to it in hope that his mother
would quit drinking.

OIL
DEALINGS
CITED
Daugherty's First Transaction
in Sinclair Stock Was Sale,
Accountant Says.
By KENNETH CLARK,
international Nevva HerVice.

Delving deeper into the oil stock
transactions of Cabinet members
and other Government officials,
the Senate Public Lands Commit
tee learned today that Attorney
General Daugherty sold and
bought 500 shares of Sinclair
Oil stock and that the stock deal
ings of the late Jesse w. Smith,
who committed suicide in Daugh-
erty's apartment, netted him a
profit of 1851 over a period of
several months.
This testimony was placed be-
fore the committee by Lewis D.
Bond, an accountant, who has
been examining the books of
Washington stock brokers.
Transaction Was Sale.
In view Of the fact that Daugh-
erty's first transaction in Sinclair
was a sale. Bond said that it was
impossible to tell how the stock was
acquired by the Attorney General.
Daugherty's account was opened
with Hibbs & Co. here on January
20, 1922, his first deposit being a
Liberty bond-for security.
Smiths account, Bond said, was
carried on the books Of the same
company under the name of "W. w.
Spaid, No. g."
On December Z, 1922, Smiths &C.
count had remaining 400 shares Of
Mexican Seaboard and 500 shares Of
Sinclair Consolidated.
G. d. Wahlberg, former secretary
to Harry F. Sinclair, failed to ap-
pear today in answer to the COM
mittee's subpoena.
1t was later learned that he had
gone to Havana, Cuba, "fo: his
health" The committee has no
authority to subpoena him from
there.
Thomas ]. Ryan, former member
of Congress from New York, who
was reported to have dealt in oil
stocks during his term, was the
first witness to appear before the
oil committee today. He demanded
to be heard, and denounced as "un.
fair" the publicity accorded hin
name dn connection with alleged
stock deals.
Wanted An Apology.
II think Bond and the committee
owes me an apology"
Now, Mr.. Ryan" said Senator
Walsh Dem.) of Montana, There
Is no apology needed. The com.
mittee regrets that this has &C.
CURED but it was purely a case
Of mistaken IDENTITY"
Walsh explained that Bond told
him privately "Thomas j. Ryan"
was found on the books but that
he Bond now felt he was mis-.
taken in saying 1t was former Con-
gresham Ryan.
Senator Spencer (Rep.) of Mis-.
souri, also expressed regret that
Ryan's name had been brought into
the inquiry. Ryan then explained
