REOPENS TODAY
Hear Closing Arguments on
Contempt Charges.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June THE
Government planned to reopen its
Senate contempt case against Rob-
ert w. Stewart today to produce
evidence that a quaroum of eight
Senators attended the Teapot Done
committee session last February. at
which the Indiana Standard Oil
chairman refused to answer ques-
lions.
Ingram Mack, committee clerk,
was to clear up this point, which
brought on a three-hour argument
before Justice Siddons Wednesday
when the defense lawyers asserted
that the committees meeting was
not legal because only three menu
bers we're present. The Senate rules
require one-third of the committee
five Senators in this case-to con-
stitute a quorum.
Stewart and other defense wit
nesses have testified that only three
were present when he refused to
answer.
Closing arguments may be COM
pleted today, but it is likely that
Justice Siddons' charge to the jury
and the verdict may not come until
Friday or Monday.

ANNUAL TURKEY TOUR OVER
ON EASTERN SHORE, FRIDAY
DELAWARE POULTRY RAISERS
JOIN IN INSTRUCTIVE TRIP
Some Turkey Farms Have FlOcks of
1000 or More Visited-SOme In
teresting Talks and Discussions

About eight hundred poultrymen,
and farm experts from all parts Of
Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware as well as from western
New York, Friday morning, visited
the farm Of Albert Jervis at Still
Pond, Md, tie largest turkey ranch
in Maryland. where a flock Of 800
turkeys strutted proudly before the
appraising eyes 1t was the first
phase Of the first annual turkey tour"
arranged by the University Of Mary
land extension service and directed by
Horace p. Derrick, Kent county agri-
cultural agent. The tour was the
first step in a movement designed to
show that this county is one of the
foremost turkey producing area in the
state. The tour started at nine
O'clock, when the tourists inspected
the first turkey focks at the Biggers
farm near Millington. There they
studied methods of breeding and care
of 600 bronze, Holland white and
Bourbon red turkeys on display. At
noon, the tourists arrived at the large
farm Of H. NJ. Baker in the Quaker
Neck district where 1000 birds are
being grown and where the field meet
Of the day was held, following lunch
con. Declaring that Maryland tux
eys are selling in New York for ten
cents more per pound than birds from
any other section of the country and
that selling pool will shortly be OPP
ened at Chestertown for Kent farmers
and poultrymen of adjoining counties,
William G. Smyth, secretary of the
Kent county farm bureau, addressed
the meeting on the value of grading
market turkeys. Last year, it was
brought out, this county had a return
Of over $350,000 from the sale of hol-
iday birds and turkeys for breeding
purposes. Attempts will be made,
the bureau officials said, to increase
this yield this year. This view was
concurred in by DR.. NJ. y. JUL, senior
poultry husbandman Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, as we'll as by w.
H. Rice, extension poultry specialist
Of the state university. Dr. r. A.
Pearson, president of the University
Of Maryland, said the local turkey
pool will probably follow the methods
Of the Idaho pool, which has been op-
Grated successfully for five years.
County Agent Derrick followed with
specific details concerning methods of
breeding stock on the three turkey
farms visited. H. NJ. Baker spoke of
the cost of producing birds in Kent
county. The days proceedings viii
close at four o'clock with an intensive
inspection of the Baker ranch and a
careful examination by visiting poul-
trymen of the large flock being grown
for Thanksgiving and Christmas
markets.

Roman Sandals
Found in london

LONDON (P-Leather soles of
ancient sandals, said by antigua
rians 10 be relics of Roman rule in
England. have been turned up by
workmen in the heart of London.
A construction crew digging to
bedrock to lay foundations for the
new Bank Of England found the old
pieces of leather. They were in a
state Of preservation comparable to
what might be expected in a mod
ern shoe that had lam weathering
n month or two on q dump.
The z of the leather was indi-
Gated by the fact that the official
Roman eagle was found stamped on
one Of the inner soles. The mark
was so plain that sit might have
been embedded there y~e-terday."
remarked r. W. Wilson. manager
OF the United Tanners Federation,
who saw the soles.
The soles apparently are those
Of sandals worn by m and chill
dren. Each is composed Of two or
three thicknesses of leather held
together with bronze rivets. An
additional fragment Of leather that
may have been a shoe decoration
or a part Of a woman's draw string
bag was found with the soles.
Leather today is produced with
fore speed and less mechanical
srudity than In ancient times. but
from the condition Of the leather
found experts have inferred that
modern processes of preserving.
toughening and softening leather
are not materially different from
those of the Romans in England.
