made in the House today by Repre-

Wood was unfit for his position.

General Wood, calling attention to his

Prince of Wales until an early hour
this morning tripped the light fan

tor in her town house in st. James
Square. 1t was the most outstanding
affair thus far of the new London

Wales there were present dukes,

parties for those who had been in
vited to st. James Square and af-
forwards accompanied them to the
Aston home. Wales arrived after
dinner and Joined the dancers i'm

Farm Relief Bill
Faces Rough Going
In the Lower House

Washington, March l6.-(AP)-
Rough riding in the House agricul-
ture committee is in prospect for the
farm relief bill presented today by
the middle western delegation ap-
pointed at the recent agricultural
meeting in Des Moines.
No sooner had copies of the mea-
sure being distributed among COM
of it were questioned sharply.
Representative Tincher. Republic
can, Kansas, announced that wit
nesses yet to be heard would oppose
vigorously the proposal to exempt
corn from a Republication fee that
would be levied on crops classed as
basic mmodities-wheat. cotton,
cattle and hogs-to bear the expense
of marketing the farmers surplus.
Chairman Haugen, while he made
no comment today, has served notice
at previous sessions that he consid-
ers any farm relief bill worthless
unless 1t contains provisions empow-
ering the President to raise the tariff
on any product to point high
enough to keep 1t out of America.
The bill under consideration does not
mention the tariff. 1t Is understood
that the farm delegates were divid-
ed on the tariff question and left 1t
to be dealt with by the committee.
Frank Evans. secretary OF the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
told the commission TODAY he believ-
ed the principles endorsed by his or
ganization were embodied in the bill.

Must Reconsider
Refusal to Grant
Miss Clark Certificate

Trenton, N. j., March 16.-tAP)-
Miss Helen Clark, alleged cigarette
smoking teacher of the Secaucus. won
a victory today in her effort to secure
permanent teaching certificate, when
State Commissioner of Education John
H. Logan decided that her case had
not received due consideration at the
hands of the state board of examin-
ers.
DR.. Logan decreed that the refusal
of the board to grant the certificate be
set aside and that the case should
have the same status as before the
hearing by the examiners board.
The case arose when the county su-
perintendent of Hudson refused to
certify Miss Clark's competency be-
cause of reports reaching him of va
rious alleged indiscretions on the part
Of the teacher, and her alleged failure
to meet a tuition obligation in the
New Hampshire state normal school.
She appealed to the state board Of
examiners. which. after a brief dis
cussion. sumnarily refused to grant
her the permanent teaching certificate.
In order to be deemed to have exer-
cised fair discretion In the case
said Commissioner Logan. the board
Of examiners should have investigated
considered the grounds upon which
the county superintendent based his
refusal to certify the teacher. The
evidence, continued Mr.. Logan. showed
that no such inquiry and deliberatlon
were ever made by the board of exam
liners.

Oratory Features
Hearing on Rival
Claims for Canal

Washington, March 16-(AP)-A
burst of congregational oratory con-
cluded today the hearing before the
army river and harbor board on the
relative merits of the New York and
st. Lawrence river routes for a wat
erway from the Great Lakes to the
sea. The board then began it's re-
view of the adverse report of spec
ial board of army engineers on the
New. York project with the expecta-
ton bf presenting its findings to
congress with little delay.
Senate and house members from
interested states were virtually the
only Witnesses heard by the board.
Representative Dempsey, Republican,
New York. chairman of the house
rivers and harbors committee, led the
fight for the all-American, New
York route, and Senator Lenroot,
Republican, Wisconsin. acted as floor
leader for the st. Lawrence advo-
Gates.
Another angle of the national de-
tense issue raised by Representative
Dempsey In urging that the board
reverse the special report developed
today when representative VAIN
wright, Republican, New York, for
mer assistant secretary of war. sug
gested that the st. Lawrence route,
favored by virtually the complete
congressional delegations of 10 states
OF the middle west bordering on the
Great Lakes, might be hampered by
neutrality considerations if the
United States was at war and Great
Britain neutral. Senator Lenroot
argued that such a contingency was
unthinkable, since, when the United
states was neutral in the early years
OF the European war, the bulk of
Canada's wartime traffic moved over
International waterways without
questions.
In his closing argument Represen-
tative Dempsey insisted that the New
York route offered the only certain
avenue for getting middle western
products to the sea cheaply, since
there was no certainty that Canada
would agree to joint development of
the river route.

WOUNDED SLAYER
DRAGGED FROM BED
and KILLED BY BAND

Center Point, Tex, March 10
(AP)--Dragged from a bed where he
lay wounded with a baby at his side,
Frank johnson. charged with the
murder of a neighbor farmer, was
killed by band Of men here last
night.
Johnson killed Homer Gibson in a
fight last Friday night which is be-
lieved to have resulted from a dis
pute over what school the Johnson
children were entitled to attend.
In the fight with Gibson. Johnson
was so badly wounded, physicians
had him removed to his home under
surveillance. He was in bed with i.
sleeping baby when his assailants
are said to have burst into the room.
realizing what they had come for, he
begged not to be killed there in view
of the baby. The men dragged him
out Of bed and as he fell to the floor,
shot him to death.
Center Point is near the intersec-
ton of tn = counties. This has
caused com lication in school -
tricts.
The deputy sheriffs and friends of
Johnson had been in his Room and
about the house. a short time before
the killing, but he had told them he
could not sleep as long as they were
present and asked that they leave
him alone. A short time after they
departed, the band of men who killed
him appeared.
According to reports, no one recog-
nfzed the slayers and no one would
advance any opinion as to who they
were. 1t is believed they v ere. UNI
masked and 1t seems certain that
Johnson knew them.
Johnson's home is in an isolated
section a. SIS the line from this
county. He had insisted he had a
right to send his children to school
here. though he lived in another
county.
The fight between Johnson and
Gibson occurred at a schoolhouse.
Johnson's throat had been cut and he
had received other wounds in the
fight.

Asserts Maritime
Provinces Want to
Secede from Dominion

Boston, March 16-(AP) move
ment by the maritime provinces to
secede from the Dominion of Canada
Is gaining rapid momentum Major
Daniel Owen, K. c. of Annapolis
Royal, Nova Scotia. said in an ad-
dress here tonight.
Major Owen, who was an ace In
the British flying corps during the
World War and is now lawyer IN
Nova Scotia. said that the principal
reason for the secession movement
was to equalize trade conditions and
offset the dominance of Ontario and
Quebec, which was proving dlsas-
trous to the Maritime provinces.
If the movement succeeded. Major
Owen said the provinces would re-
main a part of the British Empire
but would form a separate dominion
with powers to make separate trade
treaties with the United States by
which decadent industries could be
revived
