FARM LAND DUE
FOR COMEBACK
Will Follow Cattle Market
Trend, Expert Says.

BH Times Special
WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. The
price of farm land is due for a
strong comeback, according to Pres
ident D. P. Hogan of the Federal
Land Bank of Omaha, who has been
here comforting with the Federal
Farm Loan Board.
It will follow the trend of the cat
tie market, he states.
Cattle were too high and there
we're too many cattle" he said. IN
1920 a period of drastic dehation set
in and cattle declined in numbers
until recently evidences OF a dis
tinct shortage sent prices 'skyrock-
citing
Those who held on to their cat
tie, in spit of adverse conditions,
and those who bought cattle within
the past few years, are now reaping
rich rewards.
Land prices were too high in
1919. Prices began to tumble, Con-
siderable land was held on thin
margins and was forced into the
market
But now it is apparent that the
reduction has gone too far.
1T won't be selling at bargain
prices much longer"

WORKMEN TO
REALIZE DREAM
Power Transmission to
Mean Country Homes.
By United Frcss

By United Frcss
CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-Deyelopment
of power transmission is bringing
nearer realization the workingman's
dream of a home in the country, a
garden and chickens, according to
Alexander Dow, president of the De-
troit Edison Company.
Dow, here attending the Midwest
Power Conference, told the United
Press this dream rapidly is becom-
ing possible.
"As power transmission develops"
Dow said, the small manufacturer
and even larger industries will carry
their factories and business to the
source of production or to the
cheapest land.
This means the workingman will
follow his work to the smaller vii
lagos, where it will be possible for
him to enjoy the things denied him
in congested city.
HE will be able to have his gar
den, his chickens and an ample
supply Of fresh air untainted by
smoke"

Bread Trust Case Likely to
Be ReOpened by

By ROSCOE FLEMING

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Be
cause a Federal judge resented be-
Ing compared to Pontius Plate, the
whole case involving the govern
mentS action against the once pro-
posed two billion dollar bread
trust. of the Ward interests may be
reopened
Federal Judge Morris A. Soper, of
Baltimore, has been notified that he
may appear before a subcommittee
of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
to testify his action in signing the
so-called consent decree entered
into by Department of Justice and
Ward attorneys. which stopped Or
ganization of the two billion dollar
baking combine.
Report Criticized SOper
Soper asked for chance to appear
because of the report made by the
majority members Of subcommittee.
Senator Walsh of Montana and
Senator Borah of Idaho, criticizing
Soper, calling Attorney General
Sargent derelict in duty, and at
tacking the Federal Trade Commits
sion.
When the two billion dollar COM
pany was announced in spring of
1926, the Federal Trade Commission
and the Department of Justice al
ready had under investigation the
Continental Baking Company, Iarg-
est of Wards companies, with six
teen individual units.
Consent Decision Given
The Department of Justice insti-
tuted action against the proposed
combine. Consent decision was ar
rived at, by which organization of
the two billion dollar merger was
stopped. In addition, the decree,
signed by Judge Soper, April 3, 1926.
stipulated that the Department of
Justice proceeding against the Con-
tinental should be stopped, on the
ground that the Federal Trade
Commission was investigating 1t.
But the Federal Trade Commits
sion had dismissed it's own proceed
ing against the Continental on the
previous day, so that the company
was relieved from both Federal in
QUESTIONS almost simultaneously.
When the subcommittee investi-
gated the proceeding last year it was
told by Abram F. Myers, then
member of the Department Of Jus
tice staff. and now member Of the
Federal Trade Commission, that lie
had informed Soper Of the commits
sion's action, but that he signed
the decree nevertheless.

CAPITALIST is
SHOT TO DEATH
IN HOTEL ROOM
Four Bullets in Body Throw
Doubt on Theory of
Suicide.

NEW YORW, Feb. 18,-Police to-
day continued investigation of the
death of Robert Livingston Ireland,
so, retired capitalist and coal pro-
Queer, whose body was found late
Friday at the Hotel Seymour, with
four bullets in it.
The body, lying face downward
across his bed, was discovered by his
wife, Mrs. Mary Esther Wood Ire
land, when she returned from a
shopping tour.
Four Bullets In Body
DR.. Charles Cassasa, assistant
medical examiner, who viewed the
body, pronounced it as suicide and
although police we're at first agreed,
the fact that there were four bullets
in the body led them to start an in
vestigation.
Mrs. Ireland, who was in state
of collapse when police arrived
said she had left her husband early
in the afternoon and at that time
he appeared to be cheerful, They
had luncheon together and he re-
turned to the apartment.
She returned at 7:30 p. m. and
found him dead. A revolver lay or
the chiffonier about two feet from
his right hand. His coat and vest
were on a chair nearby and there
were blood stains on the dresser and
also on photograph of Mrs. Ire
land nearby.
Question Suicide Verdict
Police said the position of the
body indicated that Ireland prob
ably had stood in front of the
mirror and fired the shots into hi!
body. However, the suicide verdict
was questioned, because either o.
the bullets were sufficient to have
caused death.
Mrs. Ireland said her husband re-
Gently had suffered a heart attack
and had been worried. He had beer
