Coolidge Orders
Probe, Reported
"Wet" Washington

Washington, March 11-Prohibi-
ton Commissioner Haynes was d.
rected by President Coolidge today
to investigate charges of Rear Ad-
miral Charles P. Plunkett, COM
mandant Of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard. that Washington was "the
wettest city in the United States"
to the White House and his attention
directed to published statements by
Admiral Plunkett at O police trial
yesterday in New York and asked to
ascertain from the naval officer the
basis of his information with a view
to correcting any such conditions as
described.
The prohibition commissioner de-
MED after his call that his visit re.
lated to Admiral Plunkett's charges
but later white House officials said
he had been called to the White
House for that purpose and directed
to make the investigation.
The Brooklyn navy yard COM
mandant was reported in press de-
spatches published here today on
having testified that Washington
was 1.-The wettest city in the United
States" and that If "all the lawyers
and all the judges in the country
were to give up their entire time for
year and devote it to checking the
sale of liquor they would not make
dent in prohibition"
The admirals testimony was call
ed to the attention of President Cool
idge and he directed steps be taken
first to ascertain if the naval officer
had been correctly quoted and If SO
an investigation be made to ascer-
tain the reasons for the alleged lax
enforcement of the prohibition laws
in the Capital.
The investigation directed comes
as another chapter in a controversy
which has been going on for several
months surrounding the enforcement
of prohibition in Washington.
Charges and counter charges have
been made, complaints against pro-
hibition enforcement officers have
been filed by the Washington police
and the matter was brought sharply
to the attention of federal officials
by the shooting last month of Sem
ator Greene, of Vermont, in a pistol
battle between suspected bootleg
gers anr prohibition agents on Penn
sylvania avenue within a few blocks
OF the Capitol.
Since that time Commissioner
Haynes has been absent from WASH
ington, returning a few days ago.

MANY A WAY TO
OBTAIN CREDIT

The farmer. who Is the ini"ial
producer OF goods, has more agen.
cies designed to assist in his finan.
cling than has any other group,
partly as a result OF the natural
growth OF our present financial
structure and partly because OF the
special agencies created by the
government during recent years.
The list OF his credit sources is q
surprisingly large one. for he may
borrow directly from the savings
banks. trust companies, and insui.
ance companies: may use the Fed.
eral Farm Loan Banks and the
Joint Stock Land Banks: may sell
his mortgages through local farm
loan mortgage brokers. the larger
mortgage companies. and certain
investment banking houses: IL Q
cattle raiser. he can discount bis
paper with cattle loan com panies;
his marketing Is often done
through a state or national co-opera.
tive marketing association: he has
access to the regular commercial
banks for short time funds: and OF
course. participates as any other
consumer In the usual retail store
credit Moreover. the Federal Re-
serve Act has provided broad &C
commodation for agriculture IN its
text as originally adopted and In
the several amendments since
made, and the Agricultural Credits
Act authorizes the establishment
OF the Federal intermediate Credit
Bank as further aid. When one
hears the statement made that In
our economic system the farmer
alone IL not provided for. the an.
swer is merely. at isn't So" Many.
people are coming to believe, and
this includes some OF the agrfcul.
tural bloc In Congress. that the
farmers trouble is not due to his
lack Of credit but to having had
credits granted too easily and in
too large amounts.-Journal of
