SAY SALM SETTLED
 CASE FOR MILLION
Adjournment of Case Brings Rumor, Denied by Lawyers

New York, Dec. 10 P-Reports of a prospective cash settlement, ranging from a half to a million dollars, were in circulation today after the sudden adjournment of the separation suit of Count Ludwig Salm Hoogstraeten against his wife, the former Millicent Rogers, Stand ard Oil heiress.
 Official confirmation was lacking and Herman Goodstein, counsel for the count, denied last night that any settlement had been made.
 T know nothing of such an offer" he said. T know nothing of any proposal to settle the suit out of court. I deny that any monetary offer of settlement had been made to either Count Salm or myself"
 Nevertheless, reports persisted that when the case again is called cn January IT, announcement would be made that a settlement had been reached out of court.
 One report was that Colonel H. H. Rogers in making the settlement in- sists that Count Salm relinguish all claim to his two-year-old son Peter and that he leave the country never to return.
 Members of the Rogers family could not be reached and Albert c. Conway, counsel for the countess, declared he had hing to say.
 Count Salm appeared smiling dS- bonairly at the offices of his attor- ney few hours after court had ad- journed and when asked whether a settlement had been reached, par ried the question with a frown and q farewell wave of his hand as he disappeared into an inner room.
 Colonel Rogers reported offer of settlement Is said to have resulted from his annoyance at the publicity resulting from the trial and the reading in court of his daughters letters to her mother-in-law.
 Mr. Goodstein, in asking supreme Court Justice Levy for an adjourn ment, stated he needed time to gather witnesses to testify to the counts responsibility both moral and financial"
 It also was learned yesterday that on November r, Mir. Goldstein had filed papers with Justice John Proc tor Clark, presiding justice of the appellate division of the supreme court, attempting to enjoin Justice Levy from hearing the separation suit, but that the petition had been denied.
 It was contended in the petition that Justice Levy had exceeded his jurisdiction in decreeing that the case would be heard before him in an Irregular" extension of the Oc- tober term of supreme court. Gold l stein also complained of a letter Justice Levy sent to Secretary or States Kellogg drawn up by MT. Conway asking if the count had ap- piled at the office of the American consul, either in Berlin or Vienna, for permission 10 come to this country under the quota provisions of the immigration law. Goldstein contended he had not been notified of the procedure before the letter was sent.

FARM MARKETING PROBLEMS COME UP New England Interests Meet
 in Boston

Boston, Dec. 10 P-The New Eng land farm marketing conference to- day heard three authorities on agri- cultural matters advance sugges- tions for improving home products and meeting outside competition. the chief problems before the gathering here which is representative Of agri- cultural interests in the six states.
 F. T. Washburn, commissioner Of the Maine department of agricul- ture. declarA successful marketing of New England's farm products de- pended upon the factors of advertis- ing, quality and the availability of supply.
 He advocated an advertising cam paign which would stimulate ucmand and suggest new ones, a move for better quality with education of pro- ducers and handlers, and improve ment and development of the road side market.
 Charles M. White, chief of the d. vision Of markets in Mr. Washburn's department, asserted that any legis- lative program looking to establish ment of grades and standards should confer the authority for the cstab- lishnent of such standards upon state agencies. rather than establish the standars in the legislation itself.
 Much time would be lost in ob- taining agreement among all mem- bers of the six state legislatures on proper standards whereas state of- ticers given blanket authority 10 es- tablish grades could easily come to agreement, he felt.
 That quality must be the keynote of any successful effort to meet western competition, was stressed by E. H. Jones, Vernon commissioner of agriculture. "Confid2nce Of the consumer is keystone to success, but i' We are to enjoy its benefits it must be earned" he declared.

FOR FARM BILL

Washington, March 20-(AP)-An-
other spirited farm relief hearing in
the House agriculture committee to-
day brought out sharply the OPPOSE
ton which developed against the mid
die western agricultural delegation
bill to finance surplus crop marketing
by fee on farm commodities.
Following op a denunciation Of the
measure from the House floor yester-
day by Rep. Tincher. Republican,
Kansas, Rep. Aswell. Of Louisiana,
ranking Democrat on the committee,
delivered an adverse opinion of the
plan today.
Not only had the bin no chance of
getting out of committee. Mr.. AsweIl
declared, but the continuation of
hearings might kill all farm legisia-
ton at this session.
Accusing the delegation Of taking
up the time of Congress on a measure
you know can't pass" he said the
secretary of agriculture and the bud
get bureau were against the plan
while the President was silent on 1t.
F. w. Murphy. of the American
Council of Agriculture, who continued
his testimony was obstructing farm
relief, and commended that it had SUBJ
mitted bill in response to the COM
mittee's request. Secretary Jardine.

ton:
Boys, go as far as you like, and I
won't put any obstacles in your way"

Of the service was used, q little
warmer and more hopeful in its
tone than that formerly used by the
Episcopal church. There were three
psalms, the lesson, the Greed and
the Lords Prayer, and several adj
ditional prayers. OF the latter one
was the commendatory prayer and
another a prayer for the bereaved
relatives.
The short service ended, the minis
ter knelt for a moment by the side Of
the casket and then the presidential
group passed to another room while
six guardsmen designated by Major L.
F. Wing Of Ludlow. commanding the
unit, carried the casket to the waiting
hearse, and the procession to the GEM
etery began.
Rev. Mr.. White, with fur coat
thrown over his vestments. rode first
in a snowmobile. in the back Of which
many of the floral pieces were heaped.
Then came the hearse, mounted on
runners and drawn by two black
horses. the six body bearers on foot
and the presidential party in three
seated sleigh. The president wore silk
hat. Attorney general Sargent accom-
panied the family in their sleigh.
The procession passed slowly down
a roadway shovelled out Of deep drifts
and with high snow banks on either
side. Scores followed on foot to the
little cemetery, about quarter of a
mile from the farmhouse. Below the
hill on which the Coolidge plot had
been shovelled clear on snow, the veh-
icles were stopped.
The body bearers carried the casket
up a winding path to the grave. and
the members of the family and few
close friends followed on foot. Uncle

John" Wilder and his wife, Aunt
Grace" were in this group, making
their way up the slippery path with
apparent difficulty.
AS the clergyman uttered the brief
committal service. while the president
stood with barred head, those looking
on recalled another scene of sorrow
less than two years ago, when the
presidential family came to the hill
side cemetery. In June, 1924, the pres
ident and Mrs. Coolidge came to the
ancestral home in order that their son
Calvin might be buried here.
A snowstorm which had ragged from
early morning had passed as the
mourners gathered about the grave,
and a wintry wind swept down from
the mountains. The scores who looked
on from the road beneath the hin shiv-
cred in the chilly blast. The words OF
the Clergyman could be heard clearly
as the casket was lowered to it's rest
ing place: Earth to earth; ashes to
ashes: dust to dust"
Immediately after the inteRnent the
president returned with Mrs. Coolidge
and their son to the white farmhouse.
After a brief stay the party left by
sleigh for Woodstock. where the pres
idential train awaited for the return
trip to Washington.

DANISH QUEEN
MOTHER is DEAD

Copenhagen, Denmark, March 20
(AP)-Dowager Queen Louise of
Denmark, widow of King Frederick
VIII. died this evening. Her death
was directly due to heart attack
superinduced by pneumonia. She WIS
"a years Of age.

pneumonia appeared, and last night
the heart was greatly affected. The
Queen rallied to remedial treatment,
but another attack, still more severe,
came at 4 o'clock this afternoon. She
died shortly afterwards from heart
paralysis. The organ had been weak
ened by the racking cough of the
pneumonia and the effects of seri-
GUS illness which she suffered last
year.
Queen Louise was the first sover-
eign of Denmark to die as dowager
queen In $50 years. All of her chill
dren, except King Haakon of Norway
were at the deathbed, as well as
Queen Alexandria, Crown Prince
Christian Frederick and Prince Knud.

Ourselves and Industry
,tting Capital to Wo
b. z. z. Lincoln

y Idle capital 10 no more productive
than an idle man, and yet many
owners OF capital are not in posi-
ton to employ it in business fol
themselves. They can put It to worL
emily by entrusting it to others.
AT the same time, many men who
have the abiiity to use large
amounts of capital for the advan.
tage both of themselves and of theii
communities do not possess suffi'
cient funds of their own to enable
them to engage in business without
assistance. They need somebody to
give them the necessary financial
backing.
One way in which a business man
may get such assistance is through
his bank. When the bank makes
him 4 loan, it shares for the time
being in the risks Of his business.
A bank, however. cannot afford to
tie up its depositQrs' funds for an
indefinite period The loans which
It makes must usually be repaid q
the end Of . few months.
Business men frequently need
these short term credits. but they
also need capital that viii Be in
vested permanently in their enter
prisss. The manufacturer, for ex-
ample. must have the permanent use
Of funds to enable him to invest IN
q tract Of land. erect . building, and
install machinery. He cannot de-
pend on his bank to finance these
operations.
One way By which be may get the
permanent use Of more capital is to
form 4 partnership with one or more
persons who have ample financial
resources and who are willing to
share in the risks and profits Of his
business
The partnership possesses many
advantages over the one-man con-

which he is best fitted. But the i'm
portant business units today are no
longer the one-man concern or the
small partnership. Our manufac-
turing, mining and railway COM
panies have attained huge proper

dollars where formerly a few thou

The largest steel Company In the

rich enough to own it, and, even
if there were such an individual,
it is hardly probable that he would
be willing to invest his entire for

This great business concern,
therefore, has obtained its capital
