COLD CAUSES
MANY DEATHS
IN MIDW EST
Slight Advance in Tempera-
ture Forecast, But Mercury
Will Stay Below Normal

Chicago, Dec. 15--(P-A slight
reaction today from the WIDESPREAD
cold wave, and further advance in
temperature Thursday, has been
promised by weather forecasters,
but with the unhcartening postscript
that even with moderation the mer-
curry would be considerably below
normal for the season.
The front of the cold wave, which
swirlcd down from Alaska and moved
rapidly across the country, has
REACHED the North Atlantic states
and the south, but in modified
form. although temperature drops Of
20 to 80 degrees were not unusual
in those areas.
The cold has continued, however,
with marked severity in the north
west where temperatures last mid
night ranged from 10 to 20 degrees
below zero over wide area. West
crn Canada likewise continued in the
grip Of one of the most sustained
cold spells in many years, with the
mercury sinking to 35 degrees below
in some places.
Grain Ships at Anchor
A 60-mile gale, which blew snow
and mist from the freezing regions
of Thunder Bay, held Is to 20 grain
laden steamers at anchor within
seven miles, Of Port Arthur, Ont.
The Lake Shippers Clearance associ-
alton said no further clearance Of
vessels would take place this season
from that port.
Probably II score Of persons died
as a result of the cold and much
damage was done to power and tele-
phone lines by ice and slect, while
motor and train traffic was held up
by heavy snow in some areas. Most
Of the damage had been repaired to-
day in the Minnesota and Wisconsin
areas, and snow filled highways were
being opened to traffic.
While most of the country shiver-
ed and read weather bulletins, scien-
lists at Washington added note OF
possible earth disturbances in 1927
from sun spots.
Trouble Ahead For World
Although there is no definite evi-
dence that sun spots affect the
weather, disturbances of the mag
netic needle are violent on earth dur
ing the period when the spots are
most numerous and 1T is reasonably
certain that brilliant displays of the
aurora borealis are directly connect
cd with their presence.
Naval observatory officials said
sun spots were increasing and that
trouble was ahead for the world.

To former Senator Atlee Pnme. .l :
of Ohio, of special government coun-
sci, fell the task of making the prose-
cution's final plea for a verdict {.
guilty, but before his time for argu-
ment arrived, Frank j. Hogan, chief
Of staff Of the Doheny legal array,
iosed mis- appeal for an acquittal,
which was begun yesterday
Navy Department Responsible
In addressing the jury. Hogan spoke
for both Fall and Doheny, his asso-
ciate in defense, Wilton J. Lambert,
counsel for Fall, having yielded his
time. Hogan declared that the navy
department had predominant
part" in shaping the oil reserve poll
icies Of 1929, and that therefore no
wrong doing could be traced to Fall
and the interior department.
Navy influence, he insisted, estab-
lished the policy under which DOH
eny's Pan-American Petroleum COM
pany secured the Elk Hills, Califor-
mia, lease December IL, 1922, which
became the basis Of the conspiracy
charges.
"That policy was established by
the secretary Of the navy in October.
1921" he said, ''and the policy was
never changed or varied by single
letter until November 20, 1922, when
again the secretary Of navy changed
it.
Secretary DENLY told you that he,
not Fall, had urged the policy upon
President Harding. DENLY told you
he never understood the interior de-
partment had supreme authority in
shaping the policy. He said that the
interior department was the "busi-
ness agent for the navy in these
matters"

MISSISSIPPI
SENATOR HAS
FARM AID BILL
Senator Harrison, Democrat, !,
Favors Liberalizing of
Credit System
DENOUNCES M'NARY BILL
Harrison Measure Would Loan
Money to Farmers; at Low
Rate Of Interest
DENOUNCES M'NARY BILL

washington, Dee. Is. -(R-A con-
tender with the McNary measure for
the farm relief honors in the senate
appeared today IN the form Of a bill
prepared by Senator Harrison, Demo-
crat. Mississippi, proposing to relieve
agriculture by permitting the federal
intermediate credit banks TO lend
farmers $1,200,O ,OOO, 600.
Denouncing the McNary bill as al
espousal of the principle Of protec-
tive tariff, the Mississippi senator
declared the real way to relieve agri-
culture was by liberalizing the inter
mediate credit system to permit any
farmer to borrow money at low inter-
est to hold his crop for better prices.
The McNary bill. revision Of the
McNary- -Haugen equalization fee mea-
sure. designed to gain wider support
while retaining the fundamental ele-
ments OF that proposal, was introduce
ed yesterday in the senate but was
held out Of the house hopper pending
an agreement among proponents on a
name Tor i and on certain of it's pro-
VISIONS. Representatives Purncll,
Republican, Indiana, and Fulmer.
Democrat. South Carolina, selected to
give their names to it in the house to
indicate the broad applicability of its
provisions. were not quite ready to
proceed without further consideration,
although both were in favor of the
plan
Increases Capital Stock
Under the Harrison bill, the capt.
tai stock of the IL intermediate
credit banks would be increased from
$5,0O0,000 to 100000 each with
authority for each to make loans up
to 10 times its capital stock.
The interest would be fixed at four
per cent and loans could be made on
IS per cent Of the market value of
the product. The present law requir-
ing the intermediate banks to lend
only to cooperative organizations
would be broadened to permit the
banks to make loans to individuals,
firms and corporations with ware
house receipts or shipping documents
as security.
All agricultural products are in
cluded in the bill with particular
provision for cotton authorizing loans
on all grades, including low grades
that are now barred from loans.
BREAK BETWEEN McNARY
AND HAUGEN Is FORECAST
Washington, Dee. 15.-(P)--The
famous farm relief partnership OF
McNary and Haugen appeared today
to be in the course Of dissolution us
the fight over the agricultural prob
lem waxed warmer in congress.
Failure Of senate farm leaders to
ask Chairman Haugen, of the house
agriculture committee, to introduce
the McNary bill. which was offered
yesterday in the senate, gave color
to the story told by Mr.. Haugen's
associates that he objects to elimina-
