EIaht School Retirement Plan.

Three of the 7O-year old teachers
that were placed on the pesion list
have petitioned Judge Hugo M. Friend
to enioin the school board from put
ting the emeritus service decision into
effect until It's validity is determined.
The petitioners point out that since
It's validity has not been passed on 1t
can be revoked or changed at any
time to suit the school board. The
aged teachers want to be sure OF their

THE death of Senator Medill Nc

vester trust. left Senator William g.
Borah, of Idaho, the undisputed leader
of the irreconcilables in the repub-
lican party. AS chairman Of the pow
erful foreign relations committee IN
the senate the Idaho senator was in
strategic position to assail the
Harding Hughes-C Coolidge world court
program and he took full advantage
of it,
Beginning his campaign two months
before the opening of the senate he
had the combination of administration
and democratic forces on the defens-
i've in spite of the efforts of the old
guard to Offset the Borah agitation by
marshalling its forces in forensic ar
ray, Added to the stalwarts of the
senate were such luminaries as
Charles Evans Hughes and Edward
Box. The latter handled the Morgan
slush fund. Paciflst societies, barely
receiving enuf income to furnish sal
aries for the secretaries, were sud
denly revived. Defunct churches sud
denly received contributions that had
a far greater effect than the water Of
everlasting life the preachers peddle

the lunatic fringe, the Greenwich vii
lage disciples of Sappho and Freud
and Oscar Wilde and Frank Harris,
the vegetarians, liberals, millenial
dawners, impoverished crossroads
country newspaper editors, expert
enced such prosperity as they had
never known, as a veritable Niagara Of
glittering gold flowed from the vaults
Of Wall Street in a stream that has
not yet been stopped because the fight
is, as yet, only partially won.
Day and night for months the mot
ley crew repeating the litany of pacif-
ism in the service of imperialism in
toned in unison the propaganda of
the House of Morgan. But even then
the overwhelming majority of the
American people remained Skeptical.
Opinions were divergent regarding
the meaning of American adher
ence to the world court; some thot we
were to become involved in a scheme
whereby England could use this ma
ton for its own purposes. Others, a
minority, recognized the fact that it
was a maneuver to enable the House
of Morgan more effectively to pursue
its course Of world conquest.
The Fight Opens.
TOR the third time in message to
L congress Coolidge advocated adj
herence to the world court. Indulging4
in the customary banalities about sta
bility, tranquility and peace, he again
presented the Coo
lidge program. He repeated the
bromide that the court was not a part
Of the league.
Then, on the appointed day, Desam-
Der II, the resolution was called up
and the battle began. 1t could hardly
be described as a debate Unable to
marshal one fact that would prove
their case the Coolidge republicans
and the Wilson (Morgan) democrats
devoted their time to perverting the
decisions Of the court. Desperately
they tried to prove that the court was
not part of the league, that instead of
an instrument of Imperialism it was
the benefactor of the human race. But
so often as they twisted the facts of
history so often were they exposed by
the opposition.

new HIGH RECORDS
IN j. S. CUSTOMS.
Receipts for Past Six Months
Break All Other Totals,
Treasury Says.
BY the Associated Press.

Customs receipts set new high
mark for the SIX months from June
to the end of last year, 1t was an
nounced today at the Treasury. The
receipts were 1922, 1921, 815, or approx
mately $43,000.000 greater than the
record established in the half year end
ing December 81, 1928
1t was officially predicted that Gus
toms receipts for the current fiscal
exceed $500, 100000.
The steadily growing business re-
hected by the increased receipts comes
at a time when Assistant Secretary
Andrews of the Treasury is giving
consideration to means Of expanding
the customs service over which he has
Jurisdiction. On his recent tour Of
South Atlantic ports. the Assistant
Secretary gave considerable study to
cause of complaints that 1t was IN
able to handle the import business as
rapidly as was regarded necessary by
the business interests.
New Methods Sought
Complaints have been frequent
against the congestion in the Gust oms
house at New York and at one or two
other ports and Mr.. Andrews is
searching for ways to correct the con
dition and develop the customs service
to the point where all imports will
be dispatched through customs houses
promptly.
Consideration is being given to Gre
alton of a bureau of customs. headed
by a commissioner, in the Treasury.
This, Mr.. Andrews believes, Will give
the customs service more latitude and
enable 1t to proceed with greater IA
cility in meeting new problems as they
develop. Should his idea be worked
out, the customs division of the Treas
ury then would have a status com
parable to that OF the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue, the other great in
come arm of the Federal Government
1t was pointed out today that Gus.
toms receipts are more generally dis
trlbuted among the various ports of
entry than in previous years.
Several years ago IS per cent OF all
customs receipts We're collected in the
New York Customhouse. but in the
fiscal year 1925 only SO per cent OF the
total receipts We're collected in New
York. Important gains in receipts
were shown for the ports OF Galveston
San Francisco. Chicago and New
Orleans, while there We're decreases in
receipts in Boston and Philadelphia
as we'll as in New York in the fiscal
year 1925.
Receipts at Galveston. which were
81, 700, 900 in the fiscal year 1928. had
grown to sl0.064. 900 in 1925. San
Francisco went from $40 500 900 in
1928 TO So, 800, 900 last year; Chicago
reported s13.700,000 two years ago,
while last year the receipts were sl5,-
500 200, and New Orleans, which had
receipts Of $40, 900 600 in 1928, reported
$40 900 900 for last year.

trade news steadied prices at the

TOBACCO PROFITS MI
FOR PAST TEN YEARS
Maryland Man Declares Farmers
Need to Cooperate on Stand
ard of Prices.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, January s.-Tobacco
farmers of Southern Maryland have
made no profits for the last 10 years,
State Senator Thomas Parran Of
Prince George County told the Tobacco
Growers Association here yesterday.
The association was one of the sew
eral farm organizations which met in
connection with the convention Of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation.
Mr.. Parran, president Of the organ.-
Zation which he addressed, attributed
low prices paid to tobacco farmers to
the fact that they do not belong to the
association. He stated that a fair price
will be obtained when So per cent Of
the farmers join to Ak a standard
price. Direct sale. instead of sale
through commission men, was urged
by the speaker.
1t was estimated by Mr.. Parran that
there now is more than 10000. 900
worth Of tobacco in Southern Mary
land barns being cured This, he said,
will be ready for the market in two
years.

HIGHER RED|SCOUNT|
RATE HELD RELIEF
Wall Street Glad Reserve
Board Has Settled Issue.
Surprise Also Noted.

NEW YORK, January S.-Mingled
feelings of surprise and relief greeted
the advance in the New York Federal
reserve rediscount rate from 3ia to 4
per cent in the speculative quarters
of Wall street today.
With the local bank clinging to the
lower charge in the face of a per cent
rates by all other reserve institutions
and perceptible tightening of
money market and credit conditions
toward the end of 1925, it was deemed
improbable that a change would be
made just as the year end strain ap-
peared to be passing.
On the other hand, Wall Street
made up It's mind two months ago
that a rise in the New York rate was
inevitable and indicated it's relief over
the removal of this uncertainty. all
though securities prices naturally re-
acted on the news.
