Vessel I4O Miles at Sea

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. (H1 = The
German barkentine Carmen, from
Hamburg, seized 40 miles from
New York. was brought into port
today by n coast guard destroyer.
Government agents snid she had n
cargo of moro than 100000 cases of
Scotch whiskey aboard. Men from
the coast guard cutter McCarl, who
boarded the vessel, said the ship
was armed. but it offered no resist
nnce.
No charges of any nature. so far
as could be learned, have been filed
against the vessel or its captain.
Seizure of vessels at sea for alleged
liquor violations has long been a
matter of legal controversy. On
April 81 the circuit court of appeals
ruled that seizure of foreign vessels
beyond the three-Inile limit was un-
lawful, thus avoiding the treaty be-
tween this nation and Great Britain
by which the British agreed not to
protest seizure of ships for this Of
fense If they were within san hours
steaming' off these shores. There
was no such treaty with Germany.

FARM
+. RELIEF BILL Is
M'NARY'S PLAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. % (H9-A sim
plified McNary Haugen, farm relief bill
will be introduced on the opening day
of congress by Senator McNary, re.
publican, Oregon, and pressed for q
final vote.
In making this announcement today
/ the oregon senator, who will be con.
firmed as chairman of the senate ag-
riculturaI committee when congress
meets, declared the same principle OF
the old bill was retained, but the ad,
ministrative machinery would be sim.
plified.
He predicted the measure would
draw more support at the short session
than ever before. as the farmers of the
west and south Were demanding relie1
from low farm prices. AS chairman OF
the agricultural committee, he will be
in position to hold the measure more
forcibly before the senate. Although
he will not complete the draft of the
measure until after he has conferred
with heads of the leading farm organi-
cations, Senator McNary has decided tc
ask for an appropriation of $25O, ,000, ,00O
to set up export machinery to sell sur
plus crops under the management Of a
board to be appointed by the president
from the II federal land bank districts
The government would not stand to
lost anything under this plan, he said
as the sum would be paid back out OF
an equalization fee assessed against
the producers.
The crops to be included in the bill
are wheat, corn cotton swine and
rice, the last named appearing for the
first time in connection With such
legislation. The president would have
a free hand in naming the board the
members of which would devote their
whole time to the business at q salary
of $4,000 a year.
Senator McNary has received assur-
ance of the support of other members
of the senate and house in his demand
for farm relief legislation at the COM
ing session. Senator Capper, republ-
can, Kansas, said today that congress
should Immediately adopt the McNary-
HaugeR or some similar plan, while
Representative Dickinson, republican
Iowa, a house agricultural spokesman,
saw a way to relieve the, farmers
through the surplus in the treasury.

INDIANS PREY
OF SWINDLERS,
OFFICER SAYS

NEW YORK, Nov. %. P)-Remnants
Of Indian tribes in America are the
prey of confidence men, swindlers and
kidnapers, it was testified today at the
equity action brought to test the va
lidity of Jackson Barnetts gift of ST.
100000 to the American Baptist Home
Mission society and his white wife
Barnett, aged Creek Indian, made the
gifts after oil had been discovered on
his Oklahoma grant land, making him
a millionaire. The action was brought
by his guardian, Elmer S. Bailey of
Henrietta, Okla, to prevent the Equi-
table Trust company of New York from
turning over to the Baptist society the
$550,000 Barnett signed to them with
a thumbprint. The government is an
intervening participant in the action
as federal guardian of all Indians.
Bailey contends the documents giving
the money to the Baptist society were
not submitted to him for approval and
that Barnett is not competent to han
die his affairs.
Mrs Barnett has already received
her $550,000 gift money.
A. j. Ward, former counsel for the
Creek nation, said that the Indians
now totaling only 365,000--are improv-
ident, often recalcitrant, and easily
victimized. Some of them, he said,
have been kidnapped and held prisoner
until they signed away their property.
Others, he said, have been made
drunken with bootleg whiskey, and
some of them murdered, as among the
Osages, all that white men may get
