SHOTS IN
FARM WAR ON
LOWDEN FIRED
Nye DenounceS Illinois
Leader; Dickinson to
Defense.
BY PAUL r.. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. - The
long threatened farm war;" re-
volving around the prospective can
didacy Of Frank o. Lowden of Illi-
nois for the Republican presidential
nomination, opened today.
Senator Nye, independent Repub-
lican, of North Dakota. sent a let
ter to party leaders Of his State
plainly cautioning them against
espousing the Lowden cause, while
Lowden adherents took a shot at
the Borah-Norris independent farm
group when Representative Dickin-
son, Republican, Of Iowa, issued a
statement telling Republicans Of
Lowden's advantages.
The two statements brought diff
ferences between two farm groups
more clearly into the open, and in
dicated clearly that the end of the
conflict Of opinion is not yet in
sight.
Renew Charge Against Lowden
In his telegram, Nye did not mem
ton Lowden by name, but left no
doubt as to his views when he adj
vised the farm leaders of South Da-
kota: Let us not overlook the fact
that one of our friends, now most
prominently mentioned as a candi-
date, was defeated at the Chicago
convention in 1920 because of a
scandal raised over the use Of his
money by his friends in attempting
to unduly influence the vote of the
Missouri delegation, in which eff
fort, hearings before the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections dis
closed, they were caught red
handed"
Some Of Lowden's opponents have
made this charge before, but not
openly in recent years.
Nye's letter was addressed to @.
@. Talbot, jamestown, N. D., to be
used by Talbot at the convention
OF the farmers union now in session
there.
Appeal Made for Unity
Dickinson's statement appealed
for unity Of farm forces. He sug-
gested the possibility that Governor
Al Smith of New York might be the
Democratic nominee and might
make a campaign for farm relief.
You would then have a repetition
Of the campaign of 1895, and chaos
would reign in both parties" he
said. With Smith carrying two or
more large eastern states, where will
Republican party make up the loss2
"Only in the border states. What
candidate can be selected to insure
such results in Kentucky, Tennessee,
West Virginia, Oklahoma,
Nebraska, New Mexico and Nevada
and possibly Indiana2 Lowden is
the only man who can do the trick"
Dickinson recommended that the
farm slogan be "listen or lose the
West"

with the passing of the leaf
chewing insects, household pests are
having their season and must be
brought under control" Dietz said.
"Fleas often infest a house that has
been closed during the summer
months, or premises where dog or
cat pets are permitted to roam
freely.
Silver moths come with the
turning on of steam heat and al
though they do slight damage, they
are extremely annoying to the
housewife. Sodium fluoride will ex-
terminate them.
"Of the numerous household
pests the most destructive and vic
ious are the sigaret beetle and
clothes moths. These little insects
generally have worked for some
time before being discovered and
often costly over-stuffed furniture
is ruined"
To exterminate this pest Dietz
recommends sending the infested
furniture to an establishment where
articles may be subjected to heat
treatment of 140 degrees for twenty
four hours. This kills all develop
ment stages he says.

OIL TRIAL COST

Proposal Act Would Force
Falls Nephew to Tell
About Bonds.
BY RUTH FINNEY

WASHINGTON, Nov. At cost
the United States something like
$4,000 to present its case against
Albert B. Fall and Harry F. Sinclair
to the jury Just excused from fur
Their service.
The cost Of bringing Government
witnesses to Washington was about
$40 900 and to that was added fees
for expert accountants, jury salaries,
and court costs, office rent and at
torney fees.
See Conviction
AS much more must be spent
again when the case is retired,
probably early in January.
But the delay probably will in
crease the chances of conviction.
AS soon as Congress convenes, 1t
will be asked to pass measure pro-
viding that no persons shall be eX-
cused from testifying for the United
States on the ground Of self-in-
elimination; and granting immunity
from prosecution to any person thus
forced to testify.
If this measure is enacted into
law. M. T. Everhart, son-in-law OF
Fall, will be required, when he comes
to the witness stand again, to tell
where he got the liberty bonds he
used to pay Falls debts.
The answer, which he has refused
for two years to give, will form the
last connecting link in the evidence
upon which they seek to prove con-
Spiracy between Fall and Sinclair,
Government attorneys believe.
Died in Filibuster
The bill granting immunity In re-
turn. for testimony fer the Govern
ment was reported favorably by the
judiciary committee Of Both houses
of Congress last spring, but failed
Of passage in the March filibuster.
1t is similar to provisions In the
Bankruptcy Act, the Interstate
Commerce Act, the Federal Trade
Commission Act and the Volstead
Act, all of which cJmpel a witness to
testify, and immunize him from
punishment for anything he may
testify about.
They all leave to the prosecuting
officials the decision as to whether
a witness testimony Is important
enough to the Government to earn
him immunity. The new act would
extend these provisions to all Fet-
eral Court cases.

Bg United Press
CINCINNATI, Nov. 4.-Attorneys
and the court entered agreement to-
day cancelling the insanity hearing
OF George Remus, former millionaire
bootlegger, set for Monday.
Remus will go on trial here Nov.
IA, charged with the murder of his
wife, Imogene Remus, on Oct. 4.
The order cancelling the insanity
hearing was issued by Judge Chester
r. Shook and was agreed to by
Charles H. Elston, representing
Remus, and Charles P. Taft II,
county prosecutor.
Three Alienists Report
The order against the insanity
. hearing was issued after Judge
Shook received a report from three
alienists appointed by the court
which asked further time for in
vestigation.
G, In his order today Judge Shook
said he would have the alienists in
court at any time they might choose
to observe Remus further. He said
he would call the mental experts,
probebly as witnesses during the
trial, but that he would not delay
hearing the murder charge.
. The three doctors appointed to
examine Remus are E. A. Baber,
head Of Longview Hospital for the
insane: David Wolfstein and
Charles E. Kelly.
Case Up on Monday
Then George Remus, who is an
attorney, asked the privilege of ad-
dressing the court.
IT speak for the, defendant"
Remus began, land see no reason
for calling other alieniSts."
Remus said he was willing to be
bound by the report of the courts
alienists.
In order to expedite the trial as
desired by the defense, Judge Shock
set Monday for hearing objections
to questions and answers in deposi-
tons taken by Remus' attorney in
eight cities and designed to show a
conspiracy existed between Mrs.
Remus and Franklin Dodge Jr., a
former Department of Justice agent.
"Some very high regulations will
be damaged when George Remus
tells his story" the former Million
aire bootlegger declared today in an
interview in which he intimated for
the first time the testimony he will
present in his trial Nov. IA on
charges of numbering his wife, Imo-
gene.
Remus stated his defense would
be temporary insanity.
Names Ohio Senator
when George Remus stood in
Federal Court when he was sem
fenced to Atlantic for violating pro-
hibition laws" he said, George Re
mus did not talk. He felt sorry for
the twelve defendants who stood
with him before the bar. George
Remus' mouth was closed on things
that came from the very steps of the
White House. Now George Remus
can talk
what would you say if I told you
that (and he named an Ohio Sen
ator) drank some of George Remus'
liquor. Another got Remus to sup
ply him liquor for his family when
they needed it for medicine.
George Remus probably could
have had high political office for
himself, for George Remus had
much to do with politics"

Shumaker Says Bible Is No
Support to Backers of
Medicinal Liquor.

Judge Ben B. Lindsey, Denver, is
charged with misinterpreting the
Biblical references in his message
Of congratulation to Attorney Gen
eral Arthur L. Gilliom in connec-
ton with giving medicinal liquor to
his children, in a statement issued
today by the Rev. E. S. Shumaker,
superintendent of the Indiana Anti
Saloon League.
Judge Lindsey, in his message to
Gilliom, said: 81 ask the LegiSla-
ture of Indiana how they dare re-
peal the law of God as given
through his inspired prophet in the
Bible at chapter 81, verses 6 and z
of Proverbs, where it is commanded
Give strong drink unto him that is
ready to perish and wine unto those
that be of heavy hearts. Let him
drink and forget his poverty and
remember misery no MORE"
Cites References
Mr.. Shumaker, in his statement,
offers several citations from Bible
commentators, in refutation to
Judge Lindsey's Interpretation Of
the passages from Bible quoted by
him.
lone Of the great commentators
Of the Bible was Adam Clark, a con-
temporary of John Wesley's," said
Shumaker. "Clark in his comments
on the passage quoted by Judge
Lindsey says:
1--WE have already seen that in
ebriating drinks were mercifully
given to condemned criminals to
render them less sensible to the tor
ture they endured in dying. This
was what was offered to our Lord;
but he refused it.
Then, that great Scotch COM
mentator, believed by many to be
the greatest that the religious world
has ever seen, in explaining the
Bible has this to say of the same
passage:
Judges Called Fallible
"'The Jews say that upon this
was grounded the practice Of giving
a supplying drink to condemned
prisoners when they were going to
execution, as they did to our Savior.
Thus" continues Shumaker, "it
can be seen that even some judges
are not infallible, but that they are
subject to the same frailtieS Of judg-
ment as are other people. Judge
Lindsey's ideas as to the life-giving
qualities of whisky are just as
erroneous as his Interpretation OF
this passage of the Word of God.
"Then, why did not the judge
quote the two preceding verses in
this same chapter, which are part
of the one subject, namely, Tt is not
for kings, Lemuel; 1t is not for kings
to drink the wine; nor for princess
strong drink: lest they drink, and
forget the law and pervert the judy
ment of any of the afflicted?
Other Authority Needed
"Thus, it Is seen that strong drink
in this passage referred to dying
criminals and was given them as a
sort of anaesthetic to deaden their
sensibilities and let them down into
their graves easily. But it was not
referred to as a cure for sickness.
1.-The medicinal whisky advocated
will have to get some other authority
than that given by Judge Lindsey
