calmly in his cell as though fully re-

Early today the jury reported,
after IL hours of delineration, that

finding carries the death penalty in

FOR FARM MD

That something like a normal
balance must be maintained between
the farmer and the industrialist was
the gist Of an address by Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture r. w. Dun
lap before the Kiwanis Club at Its
weekly luncheon at the Washington
Hotel today.
Business men generally are recog-
nizing this fact-particularly such
organizations as International XII
wants, Mr.. Dunlap said. Co-opera-
ton between the city and the farm
producers has become one OF the
cardinal principles of Kiwanis, he
said he believed,
''The farmer does not begrudge
the city men his high wage. In
fact, the farmer knows that with
out high wage the laborer can
not purchase his high.priced cattle
or any commodity which the farmer
produces and for which he receives
a fair to high price. Neither is the
farmer complaining about the un.
precedented prosperity which indus
try, commerce and banking are en-.
joying. What the farmer is seek
ing, and what he is justly entitled
to receive Is a return for his capi-
tai and labor commensurate with
that received by others.
This, am confident, the farmer
in the near future will attain, large
ly through his own efforts in the
direction of adjustment of produc-
ton TO effective demand and in the
direction Of sound, modern market.

CHAIN BRIDGE TO
STAY CLOSED

All bids for the repair OF Chain
Bridge have been turned down by
the District Commissioners. which
means that the structure will prob
ably not be opened for traffic next
spring as previously planned.
The Commissioners found that
the bids for the repair OF the
bridge, which were opened recently,
were all too high. The lowest was
$36,120, whereas the bridge repair
fund has only about $4,000 remain
ing in 1t.
The Commissioners now plan to
seek an appropriation from Con
gress Of $4,000 to do the work by
the day labor method.
Congress may. however. decide
that it will be cheaper in the long
run to build an entirely new struc-
ture instead of trying to repair the
present one. There is support for
this theory on the Board of Com.
missioners.
Whatever Congress decides to do
will not be done in time for the
bridge to be opened next spring,
and 1t will probably be fall at the
earliest before traffic is allowed to
use the structure again.

Trace Part OF
Bride Bonds
To Miller
kilograms Show Custodian
Eager to Deliver Goods

Evidence was yesterday presented
at the Daugherty Miller trial tracing
directly to the New York brokerage
account of Thomas w. Miller, former
alien property custodian, one of the
$4,000 bonds received by John T..
King, Connecticut politician, as part
of the S391,0 bride obtained by
King from Richard Merton, German
financier, for putting through a
S7,OOO,OOO claim.
Several witnesses from Shartout
and Appenzellar, New York brokers,
testified to receiving the $4,000 bond
in Miller's account. Previous testi-
mony last week had traced $4,000 in
the King Merton deal indirectly to
Miller's brokerage accounts in Wilm-
ington, Del, and New York.

Of Local % on February "a.
Since there is supposed to be a set
of appointed officers for these locals
now functioning at International
headquarters, 3 West 18th Street, the
field is growing rather crowded.
The portion of the General Execu-
tive Board which made this great
gesture of suspending the locals had
not notified the members of their ac-
ton last night.
Proves Acts Illegal
Louis Hyman when informed of the
decision by newspaper reporters said:
Nothing could prove more conclu-
sively that. the acts of the officials
of the international up to the present
have been irresponsible and illegal
than this declaration spspending Lo-
Gals 2, 8, % and 80.
Who Is Suspended?
"For nearly three months the In
ternational has been announcing that
the Joint Board and these locals
were suspended, their officers re-
moved, and others appointed in their
places, and new locals organized. For
months the international has been
dragging workers to register in the
''reorganized" locals by force and in
tinidation. Who, then, is suspended
by this new order? Is the General
Executive Board suspending the
"ousted" locals which it has been
claiming do not exist, or is the sus-
pension meant for the "reorganized"
locals which Sigman rules with his
appointees?
Board Itself Irregular.
"This action of the International is
just as illegal as the former oustor
order. 1t was taken by a General
Executive Board that did not call all
of it's members to be present as the
constitution demands. Isadore Boru-
