+ ARM RELIEF
FIGHT STIFF

The widespread movement to ef-
feet a Congressional compromise on
farm relief suffered a setback today
in the House Agriculture committee.
Backers of the McNarv' Hausen
bin with the equalization fee recap.
tured one vote and pledged another
member of the committee to a finish
fight against substitute proposals.
The new turn of events in the
see.saw struggle assured the no.
compromise forces Of a sizeable back
ing when the whole question is
thrown into the House.
Representative Adkins (R.l of Illi-
nois, who deserted the compromise
movement, asserted that Western
farmers want the equalization fee
or nothing"
II had felt that we could help the
farmer somewhat by passing the bill.
without the equalization fee, he
said. "I have since learned that
the farmers of the West would feel
that Congress had tricked them II
the bill were passed without this
vital principle"
Representative Hall iR) of North
Dakota, who had been accounted a
possible compromise supporter. said
that he would join in a minority
report If the agriculture COMMITTEES
rejected the fee.

ASHBURN KEEPS
. WATERWAY JOB

Maj. Gen. T. @. Ashburn will be
retained as executive officer of the
Inland Waterways Corporation des-
pite the growing opposition to his
administration which has become
manifest in many parts of the Mis-
sissippi valley. This was made
known at the White House after
criticisms of Ashburn's regime were
brought to the attention of Presi-
dent Coolidge.
Late in November a resolution
assaiIing Ashburn's virtual control
of barge transportation on the Mis-
sissippi and Warrior rivers was
adopted at a meeting of the Mime.
sofa River Improvement Associa-
tion's executive board in Shakopee,
Mimi
Replying to this attack, President
Coolidge declared that the water
ways system was purely experiment
tai at present, that the Government
through the War Department was
doing everything 1t could to make
the experiment a success, and that
when the barge lines had been
placed on a paying basis they would
be disposed of in accordance with
the law.
The President believes that Ash.
burns work has been satisfactory
to the Government and particularly
so in view of the fact that the gen.
eral has made life study Of water
way transportation. Mr.. Coolidge
emphatically declared that the Ad-
ministration has no intention what
ever of displacing the man.

Bureau of Efficiency
Is Scored In Attack

The Bureau of Efficiency is rated
as an unnecessary nuisance" 70
the Federal establishment in a
caustic statement just issued by
the Better Government League, an
organization said to be composed OF
nongovernment employees.
The statement charged the bureau
directly with failing to perform the
duties with which it was charged
in the act of 1912 which created it,
with interfering in the work of
Government personnel activities,
and with meddling and procrastinat-
ing in carrying out directions of
Congress.
1.-The bureaus point of view" the
statement reads. does injustice to
Government employees by character
izing them as shiftless and lazy.
and has evolved only an imperfect
plan of work to help alleged condi-
tons"

SENATE To VOTE
ON SHIP BILL

Prospects of the Senate again re-
buffing the Coolidge Administra-
etion were seen today as the upper
house prepared to vote on the
Jones Merchant Marine bill. This
measure. which provides for con.
tinued Government operation of the
trade fleet and for $3.50, zoe, 900
ship replacement program, has been
denounced by President Coolidge.
Sponsors of the bin claimed at
least fifty votes for the measure,
They were able to muster up more
than that number in killing objec-
tionable amendments offered by Adj
ministration supporters.
BY unanimous agreement, debate
on the measure will be limited
after 5 o'clock this afternoon to
s minutes for each speaker. Sena-
tor Jones (R.) of Washington. chair
man of the Commerce Committee,
which drew up the bill, said he
would insist upon vote being
taken before adjournment tonight.
Most of the opposition to the
legislation was centered about the
clause requiring a unanimous af-
I1FmdIlNe vote OIL lie 6IllpplnS
Board before it can dispose of any
vessels or ship lines now controlled
or owned by the Government. It
was contended that this rule would
put the Government permanently
into the shipping business.
To this the sponsors of the
measure replied that the United
States appears destined to have no
merchant marine at all, If the
Government does not take hold of
it. They asked the opposition to
propose a workable substitute for
Government operation.

Foreign Service Probe
Stirs Officials Here

The diplomatic world of Wash
ington today was deeply stirred by
the disclosure that the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee has
undertaken a secret probe of the
American foreign service personnel
which may have far-reaching
effects.
The inquiry is devoted especially
to the repeated charges that the
consular service is being discrim-
mated against in state Department
promotions. and that the diplomatic
service is getting at least 70 per
cent of the "plums."
That the promotion board is
dominated by members of the diplo-
matte branch is said to have been
admitted by Secretary of State KEEL
logg when he appeared before the
Foreign Relations Committee come
time ago. The investigation is in
charge of Senators Moses, Harrison,
and Reed of Pennsylvania.

KENSINCTON. AND FALCONS
 TO MEET HERE TOMORROW
Baseball Teams to Revive Diamond Enmity of Two Years Ago-Both Have Crack Lineups and Plenty of Pitching Material Contest to Start Promptly at oClock-Herbie Sautter to Umpire-South End CTS Have Opening Day Today.

Tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock, the Falcons and All-Kensington baseball teams will renew their dia. mond rivalry when both meet for the first time this season as mem- bers of the Connecticut State league, Both teams are evenly matched and on their rosters arc absolutely tho class of baseball players in this sec- ton of the state.
 The Falcons and AI-KensinRton are bitter rivals ever since two years ago when each walloped the other in series of game for the cham- pionship of the city and before the final contest could be staged. tho weather made 1t impossible and im- practicable to finish the argument, The teams did not play each other last year except at the beginning os the season but this was before the kensington team was really organiz- ed.
 This year, with star battery men available for use by both teams, a. battle as bitter as any fought out in mid-season is likely to take place. Kensington has Brooks. Harry Mills and Berg for slabmen. Brooks is | former Bristol New Departure star. Mills was one of the mainstays of the Norwich State Hospital nine last season and Berg was the ace of tho Corbin Red Sox staff. The Falcons have Tommy West. last year with Norwich. Bucholtz, West Haven farmer. Jack Scott and Rose.
 With this battalion of crack pitch- CTS, the batters on both teams are going to experience a lot of fun in trying to hit the ball. Neither team appears to have the edge on tho other.
 The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock with Herbie Sauter doing the umpiring.
 kcnsington Opens Today
 All-Kensington starts the baseball season this afternoon meeting the Bristol Endees in the first Connects cut league game of the year. A gala opening day program had been pre- pared for the day and plenty of ex. citement was in store for the fans who planned to attend.
 The game k scheduled for S:s0 o'clock with Crowley and McKeon as umpires.
