Peasants Ancient
Methods Give u. S.
Market for Fruit
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The market for American apples
and pears in northern Europe de-
pends largely on the refusal of
peasants to abandon their old-fash-
ioned methods Of horticulture, says
a report issued today by the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Should there be a development
toward modern practice in produc-
ton, preparation for market and
storage, along with better distribut-
ing and transporting facilities, the
report states. the potential posi-
bilities for apple and pear produc-
ton are such as to make the pres
ent importation of apples from
Canada and the United States eco
nomically impossible.
1t says, however, that the pres
ent generation of American apple
growers need not fear that the Eu-
ropean peasant will alter his an
cient methods rapidly enough TO
take over the markets.

Chicago Murderer Must
Leave Asylum and Take
Chances With Jury.
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, May 21.-Russell Scott,
convicted of murder and then sent to
the prison for the insane, has been
found sane and must face a jury
again, with the gallows possibility
in the background.
Scott was convicted of the murder
of Joseph Maurer, a 19-year-old drug
clerk. in a hold-up four years ago.
Attorney General Oscar Carlstron
disclosed today that q commission of
State alienists, headed by DIR. Herman
Adler, State criminologist, have found
that Scott is now sane.
No precedent for Scott's case has
been found, but under the procedure
anticipated States Attorney Grove
will receive formal notification of the
finding and the States attorney then
will apply for an order of court dis
charging Scott from the Illinois peni-
tertiary for the criminal insane at
Chester and ordering him returned

Upholding the right of men TO act

Gary challenged the recent statement
Of a labor leader that many EN-

PEKING, May 21.-After two days
captivity in the hands of bandits in
Northern Yunnan Province. one of
the most remote parts of China, Capt
Thomas j. Belts. United States Army,
is again a free man, the American
legation was informed today.
Myrl s. Myers United States consul
at Yunnan.Fu, teleGraphed the lega-
ton he had been advised by the local
magistrate of Laitowpo, scene of
Capt. Belts capture, that the bandits
had released their prisoner on May l9.
Laitowpo is a. small town about 100
miles north of Yunnan-Fu.
Capt. Belts, attached to the AmerI-
can legation for study of Chinese, was
making a journey from French 1ndo-
China 10 the Yangtse, across one OF
the districts of China least Travelled
by foreigners.
Information travels slowly in China,
even by telegraph, and Yunnan Is the
most remote province from Peking.
Hence it appears that Capt. Belts was
freed before the American Legion was
informed OF his capture and began TO
seek his release.

 "The bulletin had the opposite effect" the correspondent adds. flor it made the people ask what would happen if the king disappeared. The general anxiety was all the more great since the dynastic situation never before figured among national pre- occupations.
 "It is remarked that as the law stands the king would be succeeded by his five-year-old grandson. Mi chael (son of former Crown Prince Carol and his wife Princess Helen composed of Prince Nicolas (son of tn king and queen). the patriarch of the Orthodox church and the president of the supreme court, none of whom has any administrative experience.
 Tt is feared certain neighbors of Rumania would profit by the weak ne-s of the regime, notably Russia, who is known to be anxious to get back Bessarabia-
 "The return of Carol would be a remedy but 1t would require be- sides a family reconciliation the re- peal of the law passed by parlia- ment January (accepting Carols abdication) and even then 1t is not known whether the former prince would be willing to resume the du- ties he twice voluntarily renounced.'
