NEW ORLEANS, February 81
Black slavery, comparable to that
which existed down the river in
ante-bellum times, was the object of
an extended investigation today by
Department of Justice agents.
The indictment yesterday of Webb
Bellue and John ID. Afford of Amite
County. Miss, on charges of abduc.
ton, sale and enslavement of five
negroes, is to be followed by disclo-
sure of peonage in st. Helena and
Tangipahoa parishes, in Louisiana, if
evidence now in the hands of the
United States district attorney here
proves substantial, officials said
Afford and Webb were indicted on
testimony that they had gone to the
homo of Crawford Allen, 50-year-old
negro, near the Louisiana border, in
Amite County, Miss. last August,
seeking his grown daughter.
When they failed to find the woman,
according to the Indictment. they
forced Allen to get out of sick bed
and accompany them to farm at
Fluker, La. They also forced his wife
and three children, all under l2 years
of age, to accompany them. The
negroes were taken at night and hur-
ried from their home half clad
The family was sold for $40, Depart
ment of Justice agents charge, and
was forced TO work several weeks
WITHOUT pay and with little food. An
armed guard watched the negroes.
Investigation of the case has re-
vealed the existence of peonage con
ditions under which other negroes are
held in a state of virtual enslavement,

PARIS, February 3.-Strange ru-
mors of a Fascist plot to depose King
Victor Emmanuel and Crown Prince
Humbert have begun to filter out of
Italy and have been seriously reported
In the diplomatic dispatches of at
least one European nation.
The King, it is said, does not ap-
prove of certain of Dictator Musso-
linPs more drastic measures, such as
establishment of the death penalty,
arrest of opposition leaders and
suppression of the opposition press.
While a quiet man. he is believed to
be wise, courageous and liberal. The
King has been forced into the back
ground recently, but perhaps is
merely biding his time, and therefore
is considered a potential obstacle to
certain Fascist plans.
Two Generals Accused.
The plot to depose the royal family
is laid to Italo Balbo, Fascist militia
general and undersecretary for avia-
ton, with the cooperation of Gen.
de Bono, who organized the famous
eAScAot IlldTCn on Rome, was cnl0r or
police at the time of the Matteotti
murder, and has since been governor
of Tripoli
The plan is said to have been to
make the Duke of Aosta regent The
coup was to have occurred in the
middle of December, when it was
expected Mussolini would be in
north Italy for an international
diplomatic conference.
The italian regular army, number
Ing 5000 was thought to be loyal
to the King. but the Fascist militia
numbers 100000 and is we'll or
ganized.
Letter That Went Astray
One of de Bono's letters to Balbo.
so goes the story, was delivered by
error to Gen. Badoglio, chief of staff
of the regular army, who immedi-
ately took 1t to the King. The latter,
according to rumor. called a council
of his generals and then invited
Mussolini to a long audience, in
which the latter disclaimed all knowl-
edge of the plot.
No measures have been taken
against either Balbo or de Bono and

SENATE TAKES Up
FARM HELP BILL
McNary Measure Is Made Un-
finished BuSineSS-Radio
Legislation Considered.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Senate voted 66 to IA to take up
the McNary farm relief bill this after
noon.
The vote was taken after Senator
McNary of Oregon sponsor for the
bill, had sought a unanimous consent
agreement to vote on the farm bill
Monday at 4 o'clock, and on the Nc
Fadden banking bill Wednesday at 4
o'clock. When it became evident that
it was impossible to obtain this unan-
imous consent, Senator McNary
moved to make the bill the unfinished
business of the Senate.
Radio Bill Up.
Almost Immediately after voting to
take up the farm bill, the Senate tenn
porarily laid it aside to consider the
conference report on the radio bill.
Senator McNary announced that he
would open discussion of the farm bill
tomorrow.
Petitions to bring about cloture on
the farm bill and on the McFadden
banking bill already have been cir
culated in the Senate. They have
been signed by more than the neces-
sary number for submission to the
Senate. Senator McNary is expect
ed to ask for cloture on the farm bill
if it becomes apparent there is a
filibuster to prevent a final vote.
Farm Banking Pact.
Many of the supporters of the Nc
Fadden banking bin voted in favor of
taking up the farm bill
An alliance between the groups
supporting the farm bill and the
banking bill has been brought into
effect in the effort to assure the pas
sage of both measures before the
close of the session.
When Senator McNary offered his
unanimous consent proposal Senator
Jones Of Washington objected that it
might interfere with the prompt con-
sideration of appropriation bills, but
he was assured that every opportunity
would be given for the consideration
of the supply bills.
Declaring he had been informed that
the passage of the AIcNary bill might

PROPOSES CIVILIAN
RULE FOR ISLANDS
Senate Bill Would End Army
and Navy Control of Phil
ippines and Others.

BY the Associated Press
Creation of a new civilian insular
Office, to administer the territorial
governments of the Philippines, Porto
Rico. the Virgin Islands, Guam and
Samoa, is proposed in a bin prepared
by Chairman Willis of the Senate
territories committee as an out
growth of the Carmi Thompson inves-
tigation in the Philippines.
Porto Rico and the Philippines now
are under the administration of the
War Department, and the other three
territories are under the Navy Depart
ment The Willis bill would leave
Hawaii and Alaska in their present
status, under the Interior Depart
ment
Director i'm Charge.
Under the measure the insular Of
fee would be presided over by di-
rector, who would be outside all the
present executive departments and
would report directly to the Presi-
dent.
In his annual message to Congress
last Fall President Coolidge said the
time apparently was approaching
when the Philippines would have to be
transferred from military to civilian
control.
According to the Thompson re-
port" Senator Willis said in state
ment. Gov. Gen. Wood of the Philip
pines maintained that under the pres
ent system he can secure American adj
visers only from the War Department,
under whose supervision the islands
have been governed since American
occupation, and that these advisers
are necessarily Army officers.
No Danger of Sedition.
"Col. Thompson said he found no
evidence of anti-Americanism which
would necessitate military control in
the Philippines, and from my expert
ence as chairman of the committee on
territories and insular possessions l
have every reason to believe that
there is no danger of sedition or insur-
rection among our overseas people,
'"The introduction of this bill is in no
wise q reflection on Gen. Wood. The
various governors of our insular pos
sessions would report to the director
of insular affairs. The bill would not
disturb governors of the various in
sular possessions, who would still be
appointed by the President
The bill fixes the term of office of
the director at six years, and his sal
ary at $4,000.

SHANGHAI. February 3.-Pressure
Of the Cantonese forces, which shortly
are expected to launch a drive on
Shanghai, one of the richest prizes
an China from a military standpoint
has forced Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang
defender of the city to withdraw the
center of his army to Yenchow, rs
miles inland on the Tsientang River
90 strengthen his position.
Although the readjustment in his
line was denied at Suns headquar'
1ers here, the move was confirmed
by trustworthy foreign sources. Sun,
however, has suffered nothing like a
major defeat.
Other reports concerning Cantonese
operations say they have received re-
cent reinforcements in the Chuchow
region. the new troops probably being
southern armies.
Major Battle Foreseen.
1t is generally believed that the line
along the Tsientang River will
shortly be the scene of a major en-
gagement wherein the Cantonese will
attempt to break through for a
further advance toward Shanghai,
Foreign experts still express convic-
ton that the southerners will make
the most strenuous attempt to reach
Shanghai before the British concen-
tration Of troops here is completed.
Those well informed on military
matters believe that the Cantonese
will find it most difficult to sweep
Sun aside. Recent establishment of
customs surtaxeS amounting to az
per cent on ordinary imports and
per cent on luxuries has made
Shanghai a richer prize than ever,
and it is looked upon as certain that
Sun will fight desperately to retain
control of the city.
Two Earthquakes Felt.
Two earthquakes shook Shanghai
today. Both of them We're fairly Sc
we're, and because such occurrences
are unusual here the shocks rather
alarmed the city. There are no re-
