WORLD. SURPLUS OF.
FARM GOODS: HURTS
AMERICAN FARMERS
Dr.. John Lee. Coulter, N. D. 4
G. Head, Recommends
Strong Tariffs

washington. April T. lAP) - The
farm surplus of the world rather than
that Of the United States is causing
distress to the farmers Of the coun.
try, John L. Coulter. president of the
state Agricultural college Of North
Dakota. told the house agricultural
committee today In testimony on the
new farm aid bill.
Crops produced in other countries
where lands and labor are cheap, he
said. are driving American products
from the markets and leaving the
American farmer with = surplus on
hts hands.
Are Substitute Farms
They come into this country largely
In the form Of substitutes, he added.
explaining that imported inolasses
used In the manufacture OF industrial
alcohol was displacing American corn
while starch imports left growers IN
this country with potatoes to throw
away.
He urged that the problem be dealt
with by tariff revision to preserve the
domestic market for American pro-
ducers and suggested that members
Of the agricultural committee present
the case to the ways and means COM
mittee.
Coulter favored creation Of . farm
board to aid the farmer in balancing
production and demand. etabiliza-
ton corporations also would be valu.
able, he said, but he disagreed with
suggestions that they should be con.
trolled by the government instead ol
| by the farmers.
Coulter said that In anticipation o.
the enactment Of farm relief legisla'
ton that would be effective, plans IL.
ready: were being made to iacreasl
the acreage In production during tn
canning season.
Philippine Problem Touched
Turning to the problem Of dealing
with the Philippine Islands farm
products, Coulter said congress slaoull
ray frankly to them whether the.
might expect their independence ant
proceed accordingly.
II Ne intend to give them ttei

Boy, Ia, Believed Drowned, Found Before
Fire After Drawing Ice to Save Two Lads

to keep him away from the water was
In the canal, dragging the boy to safety.
No sooner had the rescue been effect
ed than a colored boy who had VEN
tured too far out on thin ice was seen
to go down. Again Ernest went to the
rescue and succeeded in saving a life.
The colored boy, Dolpho Carter, 10
years old, of the 1900 block of Thirty
second street, was later taken to Emer-
gency Hospital. Ernest and the first
boy he saved. Daniel Lyons, also 10
years old, living on Thirty-first street
near the canal, were taken into the
blacksmith's shop. Removing their
clothes, they were wrapped in blankets
and kept by the fire to "thaw out" for
several hours.
Meanwhile Ernest's 8-year -old sister
heard a rumor on her way home from
school that her brother had fallen off
the bridge. Her mother. Mrs. Katie
Rittue, became hysterical upon being
told of that. When a call to the
Weightman School revealed Ernest had
not put in an appearance all day, an
appeal for help was sent the police
who, after several hours, located Ernest
In the blacksmith's shop.

MISTRIAL ORDERED IN
GAMBLING CASE
Juror Tells Court He Is Acquaint-
ed With Man in Hear
ing.

Without deciding on legality of raid
on the second floor of 1905 Pennsylvania
avenue by Sergt. o. j. Letterman and
his vice squad on August %, Chief
Justice Mccoy In Criminal Division /,
today declared a mistrial of William j.
McCarty and George A. Christy, charged
with setting up gaming table for ac-
cepting bets on results of horse races.
The courts action followed a state
ment at the bench by Frederick E.
Talbert, sworn as a member of the jury,
that he Is acquainted with a man whose
name was read by Assistant United
States Attorney William H. Collins from
a list OF supposed members of the local
sporting fraternity. Talbert also said
that after being sworn he recalled he
had known one of the defendants by
sight, but did not indicate which one.
The jury had not heard any of the evil
dence. Most of yesterdays session was
occupied in the arguments on the legal
point OF whether a police officer may
serve an attachment for contempt is

Attorney James A. O'Shea and John
H. Burnett. for the accused, contended
that only a United States Marshal is
entitled to serve such summons and
questioned the right of the vice squad
to invade the premises where it
was alleged, McCarty and Christy were
accepting bets on the races. The officers
had only an attachment for another
man, who was not found at the place
and the accused were taken into custody
as result of what the officers say they
found on their visit.

ABATTO|R OPPOSED
NEAR RELEE, VA.
Proximity of Arlington Gene
terry Pointed Out by Col.
Mortimer, @. M. C.

Protest against the erection of an
abattoir on Columbia pike near Relee
Station was made today by Charles
G. Mortimer. lieutenant colonel of the
Quartermaster Corps. The N. Auth
Provision Co. of Washington applied
Tuesday to the Arlington County su-
perviSors for permission to build the
plant. Col. Mortimer writes:
My attention has been drawn to q
newspaper dispatch appearing in The
Evening Star Of yesterday, indicating
that the N. Auth Provision Co. Of
Washington, D. c., has again applied
to the Arlington County Board of SUI
perviSorS for a permit to erect and
maintain an abattoir on the Columbia
pike near Relee Station.
1.-The proposed location is In close
proximity to the southern and south
eastern portion of the Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery in which are located
the Memorial Amphitheater and the
Tomb Of the Unknown Soldier.
Visits to the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier by our citizens have come to
be looked upon as patriotic duty, and
such visits by representatives Of for
eign governments and the placing Of
wreathS at this shrine are symbolic of
the comfy Of those nationalitieS. 1t
is hardly conceivable that at this hal
lowed spot Of whole world conservation,
our citizens, visitors or diplomats should
have their senses offended by the watt
of q breeze bringing with 1t the often
sive smells of slaughter house." 1t
should not and must not be.
What is true of the vicinity of the
amphitheater is also true of all Of the
southern portion of Arlington Cemetery,
where we are daily conSecrating the
tombS Of our World War dead. Airing
ton Cemetery is a national shrine too
sacred for defiling by any means what
ever
What has been said Of Arlington
Cemetery applies likewise to the west
ern approach to the Memorial Bridge
and to the Mount Vernon Memorial
Highway, both of which must, through
their proximity to the proposed site Of
the abbatoir, be defiled by the often
sive odors arising from such an in
dustry.
81 cannot too strongly urge that such
action as may be necessary be taken to
prevent this dissertation.
