ECONOMIC
V|EWNOW.
. SEEN AS
NEED

In the most spectacular
move ever made in behalf of
agriculture, the four richest
men in America-John D.
Rockefeller, jr., j. Pierpont
Morgan, Andrew W. Mellon
and Henry Ford-were asked
today to help Congress solve
the farm problem.
The names of these four mem
topped list of financial, industrial
and labor leaders sent Geographic
invitations to participate in the
deliberations of the Senate AGrl-
culture Committee over a new farm
relief bill. If they accept, the
farmers OF America will have the
nations financial and industrial
'brains' at their disposal in draft
ing agricultural relief.
Other Big Names
: Beside Rockefeller, Morgan, Mel
Ion and Ford, the committee in
vited Paul M Warburg, interna.
tional banker; Owen d. Young. head
Of the General Electric Company
and Americas reparations expert;
Charles M. Sehwab; President Will
liam Green, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and other leaders
in industry and labor. All were
urged to confer with the Senate
committee at their earliest oppor-
tunity.
The invitations were suggested
by Senator Thomas (R) of Idaho.
and indorsed by other members of
the committee. Senator McNarY
(R.) Of Oregon, chairman, forwarded
the invitations.
If the financial and industrial
cZars accept, an effort will be made
to arrange single conference
which all might attend.
There are several butts" to the
picture. Some members of the SEN
ate Committee expressed doubt
whether the invited guests would
come to Washington to help Con-
gress draft farm bill. There was
a feeling that. while the, economic
cars recognized the necessity for
stabilizing agriculture. they would
feel the problem of formulating re-
lief was outside their province.
One effect of the proposed con-
ference will be to clear the atmos-
phere somewhat in Congressional
circles. For the last four years.
Congress has attempted to enact
the McNary-Haugen bill into law
with the much discussed equaliza-
ton fee as it's principal feature.
On three occasions, it met with
Presidential vetoes. The fee was
virtually abandoned in the last
Presidential campaign.
Now with the fee out of the way.
President Hoover has told Congress
to go ahead and draft A new bill.
He has declined to proffer any spe-
cific plan of relief. II the economic
cZars also decline to make suSses-
ttons, farm leaders may feel free
to revive the equalization fee.
AS one Westerner put it. I'VE
are giving the money kings
chance to have their say. In the
past, they've always said no on
the equalization fee. Now let them
say what they favor.

OVER
WARRANT
RIGHTS
SEEN

AURORA, Ill, March "a
I.N.S.).-With the entire city
Of Aurora stirred to a frenzy
over the killing Of Mrs. Joseph
De King in her home by dry
raiders, and with the citizens
demanding a thorough sitting
of facts and the fixing of re-
sponsibility, two Investigations
were under way today.
One is being directed by Coroner
Herman J. Vierke, whose only Off.
cial interest is with the Staying.
The other is, headed by State At
torney George Carbary. of Kane
county, who through the grand jury
will inquire not only into the killing
Of Mrs. De King and the wound1ng
of one of the raiders by her 12-year-
old son. but also into the question
Of the legality Of the raid.

quoted as saying that he is 100 per
cent behind the raiders"
The action took place in the
dining room of the De King home
after the raiders forced entrance to
search for liquor. They claim they
found gallon of wine in the house.
Robert A. Milroy, formerly an as
sistant United States attorney, now
counsel for the De King family, de.
clared that unless immediate action
is taken against the raiders, whom
he accused of "wanton murder" he

OF De King, for resisting the raiders.
Says He Made Buy"
The most vital question, it is
agreed, is the legal aspect Of the
raid-whether De King was acting
within his rights when. with a pis-
tol in each hand, he undertook to
drive the raiders from his premises.
| They had a search warrant, but
whether they displayed it is in dis
pute. Also two questions have
| arisen as to the warrant itself.

purchase Of one pint of liquor,
March 16.
Warrant Used Twice
The second question in connec-
| ton with the warrant, was raised
by Attorney N1ilroy.
That warrant was used twice"
he declared. The raiders made
two visits to my clients home. If
the warrant was good for the first
raid it certainly was not good for
the second. If a warrant could be-
used thus repeatedly, then a single
warrant would enable an officer to
hound man indefinitely"
Magistrate Weber himself admit.
ted that Milroy was right in his
contention that a warrant cannot
be used twice.

Three judges have been selected to
pick out the typical American girl
for the Washington region. Per
haps the girl of their selection will
receive the $1,000 which has been
deposited in a New York bank for
the typical American girl.
Thousands Of letters have been re-
ceived describing the typical Amell-
can girl and hundreds of letters have
been received by The Washington
Times and the cooperating news
papers, nominating girls for the
honor of representing the Washing
ton district in the final judgment at
New York city.
Hundreds Give Ideals
The letters that have been received
tell Of the ideals of hundreds of
persons and set forth many types as
the most representative of all types.
The. modern girl, the business
woman. the flapper and the old
fashioned girl have all been set for
ward as most typical. No set def
mite rule has been made for the
selection of the typical American
girl with regard to type. Only one
rule is being used to measure the
candidates. That is whether or not
the candidate is representative of
the good characteristics of Ameri-
can women of today.
Other minor rules are printed
elsewhere In the paper.
Perhaps the girl who was at the
dance with you last night is the
typical American girl. Perhaps the
one who played that round of golf
with you this morning is the girl.
Every girl enters the Quest with
