Version of Ford.

Ford told him, testified Miller, that
Sapiro and some other Jews were
organizing to blk the farmers and
that I'VE are going to expose him:
think we can upset his apple cart"
After that the proceedings dropped
back to the dragging routine of most
of the two weeks, but Gallagher's ruse
had worked.
Today, with Sapiro in New York, it
appeared that he would have to rush
back for a witness stand appearance
Monday. Gallagher said that If all
the testimony of Fred L. Black, busi-
ness manager of the Dearborn Pub
fishing Co., had been adduced before
Mondays adjournment, he would call
Sapiro.

The plaintiffs counsel had not fully
matured his plans, however, although
1t seemed that Black, Sapiro, some
depositions and then Ford was the
intended order.

Two Japanese oficers Cut Down.

Admiral Williams specifically asked
for 500 more marines, but ranking
officials of the State, War and Navy
Departnents seriously considered
whether the available Marine contin-
gents would be sufficient. 1t is likely
that the Army units at Hawaii and
4he Philippines will be held in readi-
ness 10 20 TO China if they are needed.
There already are about 4,500 Ameri-
can marines and bluejackets in Ad-
sniral Williams command in China
and Chinese waters. About 1900 more
blueiackets are aboard three cruisers
due in the Chinese zone on April 3
from Honolulu, and six additional de-
stroyers. carrying something over 500
men, will arrive soon thereafter.
The 500 marines ordered across the
Pacific today win bring the total force
ia China to 5000 men.
Officials Much Concerned.
OF these upward of 5000 would be
available for landing parties in an
emergency.
Just how many already are ashore
Is unknown TO the Navy Department,
but the number is somewhere in ex-
cess of 1900.
The message that came early this
morning from Admiral Williams
aroused great concern in Washington.
There were hurried conferences at the
Navy and State Departments, at
which the War Department was rep
resented by Maj. Gen. Summerall, the
chief of staff
Afterward word of the latest de.
yelopment was taken by Secretary
Wilbur to President Coolidge, who
twice during the night had personally
called the officer Of the watch at
the Navy Department by telephone to
inquire what news had come out of
the troubled strip along the Yangtse
where Americans have suffered grave
outrages and where at least one Amer.
lean citizen has been killed
When the naval Secretary told Mr..
Coolidge of the appeal from Admiral
Williams, the President readily gave
his assent to the plans of reinforce
ment worked out in the early morn
ing conferences.
Indicates His Satisfaction.
He indicated his entire satisfaction
that the admiral should be regarded
as the trusted representative of the
American Government, and that his
judgment should be accepted fully.
The new contingent of 500 Marines
will be drawn largely from the Marine
base at Quantico, Va, and from the
navy yards at New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Paris Island, s. G.
The largest unit will go from Quan.
tico. At San Diego the entire force
will be consolidated into a regiment,
for which complete equipment is ex.
pected to be in readiness upon their
arrival at the California port.

pave the Causeway will be considered

the State Highway Department con-
slider the project favorably, a joint
commission would devise methods and
carry out the provisions of the agree
ment. The agreement stipulates the
Causeway to be paved to a width of
55 feet, f1anked on each side by six
foot grass plots, then fve-foot side
walks, and on the outer edge by two
foot grass plots. The whole plan con-
templates a boulevard system of

tend from Market street bridge to the
city line, and there is under consider

feet from the city line to State Road.
If completed, the southern approach
to the city will be greatly beautified
and at the same time give width of
road that should take care of the
heavy traffic now entering through
the southern gateway.

DELAWARE FARMS SUPPLY
MARKETS OF PENNSYLVANIA
REPORTS SHOWING COMMODI-
TIES SHIPPED FROM THIS STATE
Pittsburgh Leads with Delaware Fruit
and Produce Becoming More Pop
ular From Year to Year

Delaware's part in supplying the
markets of Pennsylvania cities with
food products is shown graphically in
reports received by the Bureau of
Markets, of the State Board of Agri-
culture, at Dover. The reports show
the number of carloads of various
fruits and vegetables unloaded in sew
eral Pennsylvania cities during the
past year. These reports were sup
plies by the Bureau of Markets at
Harrisburg, Pa. They are interesting
to Delaware growers and shippers be-
cause they give the total number of
the various commodities unloaded in
each city and the number of cars
which were supplied by Delaware
growers and shippers.
The city of Pittsburg takes the
greatest amount of Delaware produce,
with the exception of Philadelphia,
which does not appear on the list.
Last year, 14,003 carloads of vege-
tables and fruits were unloaded in
Pittsburgh. Of this number, 533 car
loads were from the state of Della
ware.
More than one-third of the sweet
potatoes unloaded in Pittsburgh were
from Delaware. The report shows
that of 834 carloads of sweet potatoes
321 carloads were from the Diamond
state.
Apple shipments to Pittsburgh rank
next, 101 carloads of the Delaware
fruit having been shipped to the
smoky city during the year. There
were 81 carloads Of peaches shipped
to Pittsburgh from Delaware during
1926, more than five per cent of all
the peaches received in Pittsburgh.
Twenty-nine carloads Of cantaloupes
and II carloads of grapes were also
shipped from Delaware to Pittsburgh.
Four carloads Of pears, three Of
strawberries, and one each Of white
potatoes and watermelons were also
shipped to Pittsburgh.

program the basis of further participation in
the capitalist government by socialist minister's,
this program to go to a referendum.
In the meanwhile, the opposition within the Bel
gian Labor Party grows and the support of the
Communist Party by the working masses grows
also. The Belgian Communist Party, which since
its inception has been very small and, thanks to
the continued belief of the in the leadership
Of Vandervelde and the Belgian Labor Party was
till recently comparatively without great in
fiuence has been growing very rapidly. The
leated failure Of the socialists in the Vandervelde
coalition government to fight for the most ele-
mentary interests Of the masses, the complete cap
tulation of the Poulet-Vandervelde coalition cabinet
before the attacks Of high finance, the formation
Of a bankers government with the support and
participation of the social-democratic leaders, the
Abandonment of proposed capital levy on the rich
and the substitute of a 80 per cent increase in the
taxes hitting the masses, the recognition of the
American debt the handing of the govern
ment-owned railroads to a private company-such
is the kind Of socialism that the Vandervelde coai-
ton policy has given to the Belgian workers.
In October 1925, the Communists participated
for the first time in municipal elections municipal
elections held in Belgium every six years.. The
party, which is numerically and financially weak,
able to Put forth candi2-tes in only IS munich
palities. which municipalities embrace only % per

about a thousand members, but it got 10000 votes
and succeeded in electing 26 candidates. In the
big industrial cities, the Communist vote varied be-
tween % and so per cent Of the democratic
vote, running in high 81 per cent
This represents a tremendous advance for the Com
munists. The Socialist Party during the period in
