| London, Nov. l LP)-While the
 labor ministry cheered, Stanley
 Baldwin, conservative leader and former premier, rose in his own de- fense today in parliament to deny published assertions he had fa- thered expressions of Viceroy Irwin of India regarding government views
 on eventual dominion status for India.
 An article in the Daily Mail had Nchemently attacked the conserva- tive leader, and alleged he was re- sponsible for the viceroys action in

 Eight Boys In Court
 Eight boys faced Judge NJ. D. Sake in police court today on the charge of breach of the peace grow ing out of their observance of the night and in all the cases judgment was suspended. Judge Sake told them there was no objection to a celebration in a holiday spirit, but they should bear in mind at Ill times that the rights and property of others must be respected and celebrations must be subject to re- straint, reason and common sense.
 John Wisniewski, 16, of 20 Abbe street. who was caught by Officer Ernest P. Bloomquist, denied that he threw a stone at a street light at East and Smalley streets about 10 o'clock last night and Judge SaXe gave him the benefit of the doubt. He impressed upon him, however, that if the court was cer- tain that it was he who hurled the missile. punishment would be in or der.

Lower Production and Higher Prices Bring
 Improvement

Washington, Nov. (Rl-The de- < partment of agriculture announced today that it's November reports showed agriculture to be in a stronger position this year than a year ago, largely on account of lower production and higher prices.
 Since early summer, the depart nent said, prices of practically all groups of farm commodities with the exception of meat animals, have increaDed. ..q
 The total output of principal food and feed crops this year, it contin- ued, would be somewhat below that of l,.st year although the acreage harv ested would be about the same. crop which substantially exceeds production of last year.
 Notwithstanding favorable wealth CT in September, the department added, crops of grain, potatoes, sweet potatoes and tree fruits would \ be smaller than last season and it now seemed probable that yields per acre of all crops combined would average seven per cent below yields of the preceding ten years.

TARD|EU CONFIDENT
 IN CABINET EFFORT
Plans to Disregard Parties in Choice Of Ministers
HOPES TO PLEASE ALL
Formally Accepts Presidents InNi- tation--Diplomacy Needed to Steer Middle Course and Avoid Conflict in Work.

Paris, Nov, lP)-Confdent he would be able to form a stable gov ernment for the weeks of crucial in- ternational negotiations which face France until well into the new year, Andre Tardieu today formally ac- cepted President Doumergue's inYi- tation to form a new ministry.
 He boldly announced he would handle his problem, which observ- CTS agree is a very difficult one, by selecting, individuals capable of maintaining solid republican gov ernment, rather than by consulting political parties.
 Not Interested In Parties "If the persons I consult have any scruples of conscience, they can confer with their parties. I have no objection, but I am not interested in the decisions of the parties and frain from seeing any party lead ers,' M. Tardieu said as he was leaving the presidential palace.
 M. Tardieu's attempt to end the French cabinet crisis, which for mer Premier Briand said last night had lasted too long and was causing harm to France abroad, means that President Doumergue, confronted with the bewildering patchwork of parties in the chamber, has decided to try for a government with its center of gravity further to the right than anything since M. Poincare re- signed in July.
 Confers With Poincare
 One of Mir. Tardieu's first acts after agreeing to form a ministry was to go to the bedside of NJ. Poincare. He sought counsel of the veteran of so many political com binations.
 Meanwhile, he has received sup port from M. Briand, who has agreed to accept the ministry of for eign affairs. NJ. Briand sincerely prefers to drop the premiership. though he had been mentioned for the post since his eleventh cabinet was overthrown October 22. He would like, however, to continue at the Quai d'Orsay in order to com- plete the foreign policies which he has planned with respect to the evacuation of the Rhineland, the application of the Young plan, and the question of naval limitation.
 M. Tardieu, who was the disciple and mouthpiece in the chamber of the Tiger Clemenceau, seems to be borrowing some of his masters thunder in his summary dismissal
