Governor Ritchie points out that
three of the eight remaining
jurors recommended paroles for
the men who, he thinks, should not
be classed as criminals, as what
they did was largely the result Of
the high tension incident to the
strike He said he believes that
practically two years in tie peni-
tertiary for Brill and Pomeroy and
the time actually served in prison
by Fraker and Ditmer may be con-
sidered justly sufficient for the
crime.
The governor further said the
high tension of the time was felt
by the court, too, because sentences
Of seven and five years scarcely
could be justified in these cases,
except as means to stamp out the
possibility Of further lawlessness
during the strike. Under all of the
circumstances, think the time al.
ready served in each case is suf-
ficient as punishment and as
deterrent.

Super-PolOer Radio
Rights GiUen @. X.

Washington.-Pres Coolidge as
sured the delegates to the Third In
ternational Radio conference that the
government would do everything In
It's power to assist in stimulating the
progress in radio as well as safe
guarding it for the public.
The most important conclusion
reached was that in regard TO the
power to be employed in transmission
by stations. The subcommittee on
problems on broadcasting decided to
recommend to the secretary of COM
merce that broadcasting by super
power stations be permifse5 an an
experimental basis, with the definite
understanding that it be discontinued,
If found to interfere with smaller
power broadcasters.
The Radio Corporation of America
proposes to erect chain Of stations
throughout the country employing
5000 watts each. Those who favor
super power claim it will mean better
reception, and. will not tend to smoth-
err out smaller stations. Those oppos-
ing it claim it would give the owners
of super-power stations a monopoly of
the air, since they would be able to
drown out all Others

BRITISH LABOR
CABINET TO QUIT
NelO Election, to FolloD De.
feat on Red Editor.

LOndOn.-Great Britain'S first Labor
government virtually came to an end
at eleven O'clock Wednesday night
when by combination Of Conserva-
tive and Liberal votes the house Of
commons carried motion demanding
that a select committee of the house
investigate the action of the attorney
general, Sir Patrick Hastings, in with
drawing prosecution in the case of the
Communist, James r. Campbell, act
ing editor of the Workers Weekly,
charged with melting his majesty's
forces to sedition
The government declined to accept
the motion and treated it as vote of
censure which, if adopted by the
house, would involve an appeal 10 the
country against parliament's verdict
The debate was sharp and exciting
and the opposition wanted to drop Sir
Robert S. Horne's motion of censure
and vote on Sir John A. Simon's
amendment calling for an investiga-
ton.
On the governments refusal 10 ac-
cept this course the house divided on
the question as to which it should vote
on. BY vote of 80 to 1913 1t de-
cided to vote on the Simon amend
ment.
This was equivalent to the defeat
of the censure motion, and the Simon
amendment became the substantive
motion and was carried, 1854 to 1913.

Traction Experts Hit
Downtown Auto Parking

Atlantic City.-A committee of ex-
perts presented before the American
Electric Railway association conven-
ton a detailed report dealing with
traffic conditions in American cities.
Summarized. the report declares that
city traffic congestion cannot continue
at it's present rate and that taxpayers
must decide whether they will pro-
hibit downtown parking and keep traf-
&c moving or build new thoroughfares.
They declared that the cost Of street
widening is almost prohibittve and Is
unnecessary, and Endorsed the enforce
ment of anti-parking laws and speed
ing up traffic.
1.-THE most important means of in
creasing the street flow is the elimi-
nation of the standing vehicle during
at least peak-hour periods" the report
says.

US, wheat CROP
856,OOO,OOO BU.
Corn Crop Short 587, OOO,.
COO Bushels From Last
Years Harvest.

Washington.-A corn crop of 2,459,-
100000 bushels, the smallest since
1908 with the exception of 1913, the
largest wheat crop, 856,OOO,O00 BUSH
els, in three years and close to the
average and an oat crop of 100000
600 bushels, the best since 1918, were
the outstanding features of the gov
eminent crop report given out here.
An aggregate yield of 5,091, 100000
bushels for the five grains wheat,
corn, oats, rye and barIeyis only
100000 bushels less than last
months returns, but 310000,000 BUSH
els short of the final yields in 1923.
OF small grains there is an aggregate
Of 2,632,O00,000 bushels, an increase
of 50,000,O00 bushels for the month,
mainly in wheat and oats, and an in
crease of 2S5,000,00O bushels over last
years harvest.
A feature of the crop report was
the Increase of 100000 bushels in
spring wheat, with yield Of 100000
600 bushels one of the largest in re-
cent years, gaining 100000 bushels
over last year and only 100000 BUSH
els short of the five-year average. In
the total wheat crop there are $780,
100000 bushels or 100000 bushels
more than last month, 100000
bushels in excess of last year, and
only 100000 bushels short of the
five-year average.
Minnesota, Montana and the Dako-
tas have 224,0O00Oo bushels Of spring
wheat, or 100000 bushels more
than month ago, or 100000 bush
els in excess of last year. North Da-
kota has raised one Of the largest
crops for that state, 115,0O0,0O0 bush
els, while last year it only had $4,000
600 bushels.
This is putting the farmers in that
state in better condition than for sew
eraI years, as the, yield per acre is
about double that Of 1923. The Unit
ed States is most fortunate in having
d large wheat crop as it will be need
ed abroad owing to the shortage in
Canada Of nearly 20O,OOOO00 bushels,
and so far it is estimated that 100,-
100000 bushels or more have been
sold for export.
Cold weather and early frosts cut
down the corn crop to 2,459, 100000
bushels, drop Of 54,OOO,OO0 bushels
from the September returns and $751;
100000 bushels from last years har-
vest. There is also less of no.
100000 bushels from the fve-year av-
erage. Conditional figures range from
81 to Sc in Ohio and Indiana to SO in
Illinois, 81 in, Iowa, 70 to IS in Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Kansas, The lat
ter being the highest in the country.
Iowa makes the poorest showing Of
all big corn states, it's yield being re-
duced 100000 bushels last month,
and is 337,OOO,O00 bushels compared
with 43O,O0O,OOO bushels last year and
an average of 427, $4,000 bushels. IL
linois lost only 100000 bushels for
the month, having practically 2SO,OOO,-
600 bushels against 337,000,00O BUSH
els last year and an average Of 317,-
100000 bushels.
An oat crop Of 1,509,OOO,OOO bushels
is 2O9,OOO,OOO bushels in excess of
last year Flax crop is the best In
many years. White potatoes are a
good crop in excess of the average.
The tame hay crop 95,100,000 tons,
is 100000 tons greater than last
year.
