MAY INTRODUCE
new FARM BILL
INTO CONGRESS
My United Press Leased Wire

RAPID CITY, S. D., June 90
Some sort Of modified MoNary-
Haugen bill, without an equalization
fee provision, may be accepted by
the west and passed by the next
session of congress, Representative
Tilson, Republican floor leader, and
Representative Minter, Republican,
Wyoming, said today following a
conference with President Coolidge.
Minter, who voted for the farm
bill vetoed by the President last
session said he believed farmers of
the west were disposed to compro-
mise. He said he thought they would
accept bill which provided improv-
ed facilities for cooperative mar
keting.
"We will do anything that is
sound economically Tilson said.
"But there is no use passing the
McNary- Haugen bill again as Mr..
Coolidge would veto it,
Tilson reported to the President
that he had found Republicans
throughout the west sympathetic to-
ward third term proposals for Mr..
Coolidge.
With decrease in opposition to
the McNary Haugen bill, opposition
to the third term has been deflat-
ed, Tilson believes.
The house leader predicted Mr..
Coolidge would be renominated and
reelected. -..---.- /.

TraWler Rammed
By Coast Liner
by United Press Leased w.re

TRURO, Mass, June 23.-The
Clyde line freighter Ozark rammed
and sunk the steam trawler Surge
in a dense fog about five miles off
Truro today.
Nineteen members of the Surge g
crew were rescued by the crew Of
the Ozark. The other three seamen
were reported missing.
With a gaping hole in her bow,
the Ozark went aground three quar-.
ters of mile off the Pamet river
coast guard station and her position
was potentially dangerous.
Only the fact that the sea was
calm prevented a heavy loss Of life,
coast guards said. a.
The crippled Ozark's plight was
reported to coast guard district
headquarters at Boston and coast
guard craft on patrol duty in Mas
sachusetts waters were ordered to
go to her assistance.
The Surge. 800 tons and about l5O
feet long, was owned by the Bay
State Fishing company OF Boston.
She was outbound to the fishing
grounds at the time of the crash
The surge sank almost immedi-
atcly- after the crash and her crew
had no time to launch a boat. Nine
teen members of the crew were
picked ur by mon from the Ozark
but an extensive search for the 9TH
er three men proved fruitless.
With water rushing through
Jagged hole in hor lower bow, the
Ozark, in command Of Captain An
derson, was headed under forced
draft for the beach five miles a
way.
AS she approached through the
lifting fog, guards launched life
boat, which thrice nearly capsized
in a heavy ground swell.
The Ozark was driven high upon
the sands of the outer bar.

Force Island Leader to-
Resign.

President Coolidge has called in
to his first vacation conference
Governor General Leonard Woo
and Representative John Q. Tilson
Republican floor leader. both OF
when have just returned from the
islands.
The big question of the confer
cnce was whether Wood should go
back to the islands as governor gen.
cral despite his poor health. Mr..
Coolidge, it is understood, wants
Wood to return believing his regime
has been entirely successful and
that he is the best man to contin-
ue it.
Wood himself wants to 60 back
and finish the job there even if it
is necessary to die there with his
"boots on, his friends say.
If Wood resigns as governor gen
eral it will be only because of i'm
perative advice of his physicians,
the United Press is authoritatively
informed
Tilson came in last night by mot
or ear and went fishing with Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge this morn
ing before Wood arrived from Sc
attic. He said his visit to the
Philippines was short but that the
islands were coming along nicely.
"Their people, however, should
drop the idea of all becoming pro-
fessional men and should get to
work with their muscles to develop
commerce and industries, he said.
Independence for the Philippines
at this time is impossible but the
economic situation there is good,
the Republican leader told the pres
idcrt.
y definite announcement con.
corning the future administration
Of the islands is expected following
the conference this afternoon.
CUSTER, S. D., June o3.-Gov.
ernor General Leonard Wood of the
Philippine Islands, was so weak
when he arrived at Custer at noon
today that he had to be assisted
from the train and lifted into the
White House motor ear which had
come into the city to meet him.
He was taken immediately to the
State Game Lodge.
While the governor general would
make no statement until he met
President Coolidge, his aide, Major
B. Y. Reid, announced Wood intend
ed to return to his post in tho
Islands in September.
