like this:
"Our company, as the one agent
for the Emergency Fleet Corporation
operating twenty-one ships here, is
expected to get $1,500 gross for a
cargo. Another $1,000 is spent by
the local offices of the Emergency

spent by the Washington office
in checking on the Baltimore office.

FINGER
Body Found in Lonely Florida
Road Lies Unidentified
in Miami

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 21.-Mystery
today surrounded the identity Of
a man found murdered on a lonely
road here yesterday. The body was
viewed by scores of people without
Identification. Finger prints were
taken in an effort to identify him.
Detectives have established that
robbery was the motive. The ring
finger, bearing marks Of 8 ring,
was torn and bleeding. Officers
say the man was halted by the
murderers and a struggle ensued,
during which he was beaten over
the head.
He apparently broke away, they
say and was shot down at close
range.
A belief that the murdered man
may have come from Kansas City,

inside Of his coat pocket, and on his

U.s.. HARD HIT IN
SHIPPING To
RUSSIA.
Port Charges Five Times
Those Paid Where Nations
Have Recognized Soviet

AS long as Russia's government
remains unrecognized by our Gov.
eminent, our shipping will be un-
able to compete with that of foreign
nations on goods going from the
United States to Russia, because
of the heavy port charges levied
against our ships in Russian ports,
Alex Gumberg, general manager of
the All.Russian Textile Syndicate,
OF New York, declared today.
Mr.. Gumberg, who is stopping
over In washington on his way
South, said that his company, which
last year shipped $50, 900 worth
OF cotton to Russia, sent all OF 1t
on Norwegian, German, Danish and
British ships.
American ships must pay about
five times the port charges paid by
ships flying flags which have
recognized and have trade relations
with the Soviet government, he
pointed out, making 1t impossible
for American ships to compete. /.
Mr.. Gumberg said that his organi-
zation wasA formed late in 1928,
representing 450 textile mills in
Russia, to buy cotton here direct
rather than through European ma

said.
Mr.. Gumberg quoted from copy
of a recent speech delivered by Felix
Dzerzhinsky, president of the su-
preme council of national economy
OF the Soviet government, just re-
ceiyed in this country, to show the
Industrial and agricultural revival
in Russia. within the past two years.
Dzerzhinsky's survey showed that
in 1923 agricultural production III
Russia amounted to 70 per cent
of the pre-war production, while
the industrial production totaled
only 80 per cent OF the pre-war
figure.
Russia's secretary of the interior
claims the industrial production now
ID nearly SO per cent of what it
was before the war. The proposed
expansion for the coming year shows
similar increase over the present
figures.

CHARGED BY
PREACHER.
Rev. j: Milton WaIdron Tells
Congress Committee Of
Recent Boosts

Calling attention to an alleged
movement to boost rents on houses
occupied by Washington's colored
population, the Reverend ]. Milton
Waldron, prominent negro civic
leader and educator, presented q
signed statement today to the joint
Congressional committee on the
regulation of rents.
According to Mr.. Waldron. uH1-
scrupulous landlords and agents
have materially increased the al
ready exorhitant rents within the
past two or three months
I'm some cases recently" Mr..
Waldron said, rents have been
raised upon these people from %
to rs per cent, and when these
colored renters protested to the
agents or landlords they have been
told to pay the rent or move"
Mr.. Wa1dron also commented
upon the alleged increase Of room
rent to coIored people in this city.
1.-THE very fact that most land
lords, real estate agents and bust
ness organizations, having kindred
interests, are willing that Congress
should pass law, prepared by
themselves, to control in certain
instances landlords and agents, is
q strong argument in itself why
Congress shohuld enact legislation
governing rents in the District Of
Columbia" Mr.. Waldron said.

capper BjII-Loss to
Farmers is Cited

The Capper bill, for revising the
packers control act, was condemned
today before the Senate Agriculture
Committee by q delegation OF tnde-
pendent packers, headed by w. II.
Foster, manager of the John Morrell
Company, of Sioux Falls, 8. D., and
Ottumwa. Iowa.
Foster said the Capper plan for
the sale Of livestock through public
stock yards would cause losses to
farmers.
"Our present method is to buy
direct from farmers and co-opera-
tive shipping associations" said
Foster. Most of our livestock Is
priced on the day Of arrival and
our shippers have more confidence
in us than in a public stock yard
just across the street from our
plant
1--WE are very much opposed to
any legislation that will interfere
with our present method of buying
livestock. Our long experience in
direct buying convinces us it Is
economical and in every way salts
factory to the farmers. The prdn-
cipal reason why farmers are OPP
posed to this bill is that it would
add a useless and unnecessary
expense to the cost Of marketing
their livestock and thus reduce their
profits"

WELFARE BOARD
LEGISLATION
APPROVED
Provision Affecting Girls
Training School Removed.
To Be FaVorabIy Reported

Pruned of the provision affect.
ing the National Training School
for Girls, the universally supported
bill establishing a board Of public
welfare in the District, is SEIZED
uled to be reported favorably by
the joint Senate and House sub
committee at the meeting this
afternoon.
Decision to eliminate the Ma
tional Training School for Girls
from the jurisdiction Of the pro-
posed board Of public welfare is
said to have been reached by the
committee after reflection over the
vigorous objection voiced at the
recent hearing by members of the
board of trustees at the institution
and also on the report submitted
by Heber H. Votaw, superintendent
Of prisons, who declared "I think
it most imperative that the De
partment of Justice does not give
up control Of the only female penal
institution which it now has
authority to use."
Little Opposition to Bill.
The mia controversy over the
question Of Jurisdiction in the mat
ter of the girls School proved to
be the only conflict at the commit
tee hearing over the creation OF
the proposed board of nine members
The measure was backed by al
members of the Board of Charities
and Board of ChiIdren's Guardians
the District Commissioners and
President Coolidge.
Taking into consideration the fact
that 100 per cent of the girls com.
nitted to the National Trainins
School are District offenders, and
that the institution is maintained
out of District funds, it would ap,
pear on the surface that it naturally
would be grouped with the other
charitable end reformatory insti
tutlons mentioned in the bill.
Consideration, however, was
given to the declaration of the
members of the board of trustees
that it will be the future policy
of the National Training School
to accept girls committed from
nearby States and that this would
be hampered were the school in
cluded in the bill and stamped as
a purely District institution.
See Passage This Session.
Chairman Arthur Capper, in pre-
siding over the meeting this after
noon explained to the committee
that this question was the only
one recurring decision and that II
was his hope to get the bill on the
respective floors in time for pass
age at the present short session.
The nine members Of the board
OF public welfare who would be
appointed under the. bill would
serve. six-year terms and be re
quired to study social conditions oil
the District and make recommends
tons designed to diminish and
ameliorate poverty and disease and
to lessen crime.
