FARM BUREAU HEAD
DEN0UNCES VETO
Thompson Hits Presidents
Objections to Relief Bill
as Being Old.
BY the Associated Press

| QUINCY. ILL.,, March 15.--Sam Fl.
| Thompson, president of the Americap
| Farm Bureau Federation, in an ad
dress here last night attacked the rea'
sons given by President Coolidge for
vetoing the McNary Haugen farm re-
lief bill and declared that farmers
were the lowest paid of all workers.
He quoted Presidents Lincoln, Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt and Harding, recog-
niZing agriculture as the Nations
basic industry, and said it's Importance
has been stressed since the days of
Washington.
Mr.. Thompson said that agricultural
conditions have not improved since
February IL, 1924, when President
Coolidge in a speech in New York dis
cussed agricultural depression after
the World War.
At that time the farmers, represent,
ing approximately one-third of the
population, were getting about 1Oh
per cent of the national income, Mr..
Thompson declared.
Referring to the report of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference. which
made a study of agricultural condi-
tons, he said he found that the farm
erS are now getting only ~ ~nr cent
of the national income.
Speaking on the objections made by
the President in his veto message. Mr..
Thompson said:
I'm the first place they contain
nothing new to those who are fa-
miliar with the history of this bill
since it was introduced in Congress, as
it is we'll known those objections were
offered by its opponents when it was
introduced, then only being supported
by a small minority in Congress.
Another objection was that the bill
did not treat all commodities alike.
That might be applied to the protec-
tive tariff, as it certainly treats each
article separately. Still another OBJ
lection made by the President was
that it could not handle the surplus
successfully, which would result in
dumping and cause international COM
plications. Is it not true that certain
manufacturers have been doing that
very thing for years behind the tariff

 Going back to the claims of the Pioneer and Belgo companies to lands in Teapot Dome. Hoover was told that the interior department be- fore the Sinclair lease had twice turned down those claims solely on the ground that the wells they had developed were non producing in commercial quantities when the general leasing act Of 1920 was passed.
 Sinclair quieted the claims of these companies after he got the lease.
 "Is there anything in the general leasing act saying wells must be producing in commercial quanti- ties?" Hoover demanded.
 T object" Roberts cut in. The law speaks for itself"
 Justice Siddons sustained Rob- erts. It then was made a matter of record that the interior depart ment construed the law as requir- ing commercial development.

 The elder Loo. who died last December. was the first agent for the Pacific Telephone & Tele- graph company in Chinatown, and was for 2S years manager of the exchange. He began to teach his youngest son, Kern, the business at the age of eight and a few years later his daughter, Florence, be- gan to learn it.
 Loo drilled into them not only the details of executive manage ment and switchboard operation, but also inculcated in them the esprit de corps" of telephony and devotion to the service.
 At 21 Kern, when his father died, was made manager and Florence became chief operator.
 There are 19 telephone girls, all Chinese. and each of them knows by heart the names and phone num- bers of the 2,703 connections. A Chinese patron who takes down the receiver and says give me Lee Lin Kai" gtes his connection just as quickly as the English speaking patron who calls by numbers.
 The girls switch from English to Chinese In a flash and many times q minute. Tn the directories used in Chinatown the patrons are listed according to location of their resi- dence instead of alpha

 Mrs. Knapp, he continued. opened the conference by discussing mem- bers of the cities census committee and characterizing them 'in various ! ways"
 Pleasantly or unpleasantly?" in- terupted Randall J. Le Boeuf, the investigator.
 "Unpleasantly.' said Moses. He added that he told Mrs. Knapp this line of conversation was beside the question. and that he would prefer to have her talk about the missing records. Admits Burning Them. After a considerable amount of discussion" continued Moses. "she told me she had burned them"
 Did she tell you when?" asked Mir. Le Boeuf.
 No"
 " do IL pIlOT oI SuOSSuueHt to your letter to her on the subject in February"
 T do not know" answered Moses. T did not ask her. do not know as to whether we ever agreed as to what records were there. I told her I meant the records in her room here at the office. She said finally that they were all more or less per- sonal. that there was quite volume of them, that she had no place or use for them and that therefore she had to destroy them. Of course Mrs. Knapp went down the hall later and saw the governor and talked with him"
 Asked s3oo,o0o Moro
 Mir. Moses also testified that Mrs. Knapp had recommended supple mental census appropriation of S300,0 to complete the tabulation. The amount for this work was cut to s160,ooo, the secretary asserted, adding that it had subsequently, been estimated that the task could have been done for less than sSo,0Oo.
 MT. Moses said he had opposed completion of the census when the additional appropriation was pro- posed, asserting that he doubted the enumeration.
 Also" he added. 'I didn't relish the idea of dragging this dead horse around the state by the tail.'
 Asked by Mir. Le Boeuf for his ideas as to the necessity of the state census. Mir Moses replied:
 T began by being opposed to 1t before all this, and I certainly have found nothing to change my opin- ion.'
 Asked If he had formed any opin- ion as to the accuracy of the tabu- lation, the witness said he had told Dr. Haven Emerson. head Of the cities census committee. that he doubted it's accuracy.
 Tt was not well made at the top land 1t was probably not we'll made at the bottom," the secretary added.
 He said he and Mir. Emerson had been discussing the possibility of an appropriation to complete the 1925 tabulation, and that he had told the committee chairman he would op- pose any appropriation unless the money was 10 pay for having the work done by the federal census bureau under contract.

Letters Introduced

Recalling E. c. Finney. assistant secretary of the interior under Fall, who testified yesterday, Owen J. Roberts of government counsel in troduced letters written by interior officials to inquirers about the lease at the opening of the trial today.
 AS early as February 25. 1922, c. B. Apland of Minneapolis inquired whether the lease of Teapot Dome was in prospect. Finney replied that no lease had been granted and that no orders had been issued for open ing up the reserve to leasing.
 Did you have knowledge that Fall was negotiating a lease with Sinclair at that time?" inquired Roberts.
 "Yes, I did" Finney replied.
 Then. why did you make such a reply to Mir, Apland?"
 Because the policy was not to give out any information on the subject"
 T understood that was the secre- tary's desire"
 Defense counsel objected sharply to the witness understanding"
 From what source did your un- derstanding come?" Roberts pur. sued.
 T was advised by the secretary himself. and also by the contents rf lot
 Fall Follows Closely
 Fall followed this line of exam. ination very closely. He appeared in better physical shape than here toforc and said he felt much bet ter. Mrs. Fall, who has been indis- posed for two days, also was able to be back in the courtroom.

SILVER PLATES IN
 DINNER SERVICE
Ethiopian Monarch Lives in Splendid Style

Washington. Oct. 20 Cpl-Ras Ta- fari Makonnen. prince regent and heir apparent to the throne of Ethiopia, lives in comfort at Addis Ababa, although the customs of that ancient land where Sheba ruled re- mind Halph J. Totten, American consul general at Cape Town. of the day when Crusaders fought with sword and spear to retrieve the Holy Sepulchre.
 The monarch's people, whose an- cestors were the mighty men at arms that guarded the lovely queen on her long journey to visit Solo mon, cling to the old ways. When Totten went among them on an official mission, however. he found that Ras Tafari's palace was quite modern, equipped with the only electric lights in the capital.
 The American consul general met only three Philippians who spoke English, but was able to converse with Ras Tafari in French and was his guest at dinner three times.
 Each time his fruit was served on a solid silver plato. inlaid with American gold and silver coins. 90 arranged that both sides Of the pieces might be seen.
 The plate Is one of set of 25, each decorated with the coins of a different nation. which was made for the Prince Regent in London. It Is reputed to have cost 310,00o, and he takes great pains to have his foreign guests served with the plates bearing their native coins. In Tottens plate were two $20 and two $10 gold pieces. four silver dol lars and several half-dollars and quarters.
 At each of the dinners the Prime. had both Europeans and Philippians as guests, and the princess, with one or more of her ladies in wait ing, was always present. After dinner he entertained with a mov- ing picture show in the dining room, having an excellent projector and an operator to run 1t. His pic lures included one very old finn, taken in the early days Of the movie, showing King Menelik; number of topical films, reels of i'm portant events, and a pictorial rec ord of his own European tour.
 Ras Tafari is grand nephew of Menelik. He was made regent when the grandson of Menelik was deposed and his granddaughter be- came the Empress. Totten found him "one of the most interesting personalities with whom l have ever come into contact" "charm- ing and delightful gentleman. with aristocratic features and beautiful hands and feet"
