1t is the general assumption here
that Carol rebuffed Zizi in Paris, and
that she has instituted the suit in
revenge. Her intimates say she is
sinarting under the deep.rooted con-
viction that she and Micrea have been

At the present time it is impossible
to forecast what political effect the

prediced after a series Of conferences
later in the day that the committee
would be able to agree on a measure
agreeable to the farming sections.
Harmony was restored. apparently,
after the conferees had agreed on the
part the tariff should play in the plan.
Mr.. Haugen said he believed a ma
jority Of the committee would vote for
the general scheme OF establishing a
national farm board to supervise mar
keting of surplus crops, for which the
farmers would be guaranteed an ade'
quate price by means Of fund col.
lected through an equalization fee.
The details, he explained have yet to
be worked out.
The tariff laws relating to farm
commodities must be strengthened,
Mr.. Haugen said, declaring the pres
ent flexible. tariff allows an increase
of only so per cent on import duties,
which should be increased to 100 per
cent, whenever necessary, on corn,
wheat and other staples. The Presi-
dent, he said, also should be empow-
cred to declare an embargo on any
commodity.
1.-THE manner of levying this
equalization fee will have to be de-
terTnined," the chairman said. "How-
ever. whenever 1t Is placed, it will be
absorbed all along the line. If the
manufacturer pays 1t he will deduct
the amount from what he pays for a

propriettes in bringing about a re-

in court today.
In seeking to be permitted to IN
tervene in the receivership in behalf
Of holders Of approximately $16,000,-
600 Of the roads junior bonds, Nathan
L. Miller, former Governor Of New
York, alleged yesterday that the re.
ceivership was determined upon in ad-
vance and precipitated by Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. and the National City Bank,
bankers for the St. Paul, to effect a
reorganization of the st. Paul's f1nan.
cial structure at the expense of the
holders of junior bonds, Of which
about $3.50, 100000 are outstanding.
He accused the st. Paul's board Of di-
rectors of being puppets for the
banking interests.

II. II. Field, attorney for the re.
ceivers, read into the record in the
court Of Federal Judge James H.
Wilkerson today affldavits by virtual
" every individual or firm mentioned
by Mr.. Miller.
W. W. Colpitts, member of the New
York firm of engineers which rem
dered a report of 8 survey of the St.
Paul prior to the receivership, denied
that there was anything irregular in
his firms employment, and stated that
neither he nor his firm had any IN
terest in the st. Paul or It's securities.
1t was alleged that the firm was en-
ployed solely to render a report dem
onstrating the need of financial reor-
ganiZation.
Other affidavits made by Frederick
II. Ecker of New York, Donald G.
Geddes. formerly a director of the ST.
Paul: Percy A. Rockefeller, former
director of the ST. Paul; Robert G.

nauer of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and II. T..
Byram, formerly president of the st.
Paul and now one Of the three Fed
eral receivers. were read.
All Denied Charges.
All denied specific charges made by
Mr.. Miller and asserted generally that
nothing improper had marked the
precipitation of the ST. Paul into re
ownership, or the roads acquisition
of the Terre Haute and the Gary
short lines.
At the conclusion of the arguments
Judge IVilkerson took under advise.
ment the matter of permitting inter.
vention by the interests represented
| by Mr.. Miller.
He fixed April as the date fer the
hearing upon fixing a date for fore
closure and sale of the st. Paul. and
set March Is for a hearing on the
further application Of funds of the
ST. Paul to satisfying tho terms of
acquisition Of the Terre Haute and
