BEET SUGAR FIRM
FACES TRUST CHARGE

Ey the Associated Press.
Antitrust charges against the Great
Western Sugar Co. have been filed In
the Federal Court at Lincoln, Nebr.
The complaint, which charged re-
straint of trade in sugar beets and beet
sugar in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming
and Nebraska, alleged that the company
has defeated the building of projected
competitive factories by beginning the
construction of opposition factories to
buy and use all sugar beets grown in the
areas in which the competitive COM
panies would find 1t necessary to obtain
their supply. 1t charged further that
this purpose had been accomplished by
increasing purchase prices for sugar
beets and reducing selling prices for
refined sugar.
The complaint charged that because
of these tactics a factory projected by
the Farmers Union Cooperative Sugar
Co. at Miniature, Nebr., and one planned
by the Holly Sugar Corporation at Tor
rington, Wyo, were abandoned.
The Department of Justice started
its investigation into the affairs of the
Great Western Sugar Co. nearly year
ago. Last May. after the sugar COM
pany had refused to furnish inveStiga-
tors with data concerning the companys
business, grand jury, empaneled at
Lincoln subpoenaed all its records and
business data
The company finally agreed to per-
NIT Investigators from the department
to 60 over its books at its headquarters
In Denver. This was done during the
Summer, and conferences between the
officials of the company and the De-
partment Of Justice were held here last

ingly approved 1t with the votes Of SONS
administration Senators, but there are
signs that some of the supporters Of the
dry fund in the Senate are worried over
the prospects of the bill, which contains
several other appropriations.
Senator Harris, Democrat, Georgia,
the author of the prohibition increase

Senator Harris declared that IL the

expected before the end of the session.
If the increase is not allowed at this

CRITICS OF HARVARD
POLICIES ARE HEARD
Replies to Comment Made by Prof.
Pennypacker at Clubs An
nual Dinner.

After inviting its dinner guests, heads
of Yale, Princeton and Dartmouth
alumni here, to criticize adversely the
policies of Harvard University, the
Washington Harvard Club at Its annual
dinner last night presented Prof. Henry
Pennypacker of Harvard in defense OF
the university.
Prof. Pennypacker gave ample time
and attention to the answer OF each
comment, it was announced.
In addition to rival university alumni
presidents, q number of high school
principals were invited to the banquet,
held at the University Club. These in
cluded Alvin Miller of Central, Charles
Hart of Eastern, Elmer S. Newton OF
Western, Allan Davis of Business, and
Frank G. Daniel of Mckinley High
School.
The fire of the critics, it was said
centered on the rigid entrance require
ments at Harvard. by which all but
/ 900 persons are excluded from matric-
ulating at the university.
Prof. Pennypacker, however, assured
the guests that 1t was the hope OF
the university eventually to remove this
restriction. He explained that rigid
examinations are the only practical
means of selectivity.
Chief Justice Mccoy of the District
Supreme Court presided, while Justice
Sanford of the United States Supreme
Court was in attendance.

ROOT TO CANVASS
/ NATIONS ON COURT
viii Feel Out Powers on Pos.
sibiIity of Agreeing to
U. S. Reservations.

By the Associated Press.
Adherence by the United States to
the World Court may depend upon the
success of an unofficial diplomatic mis-
sion to be undertaken by Eliha Root,
former Secretary of State and an au-
thority OH international law Mr.. Root
will seek an understanding among world
Court.
The Senate voted adherence TO the
Court three years ago, but it also voted
reservations that the other powers have
not accepted. One that other countries
have baked at was stipulation which
would deny the right of the court to
render advisory opinion involving the
United States without the previous con-
sent of this country to consideration Of
the case.
Some international lawyers believe
that the court is already bound to
render no advisory opinion without the
unanimous consent of the Council Of
the League Of Naions. In that case
all the other nations have the right
with regard 10 ADVISORY opinions tnat Is
asked by the United States. It is also
believed by some that if the American
reservations regarding advisory opinions
were accepted the biggest stumbling
block in the way of adherence by this
counry to the court would be removed.
President Coolidge not long ago made
1t known that he desired another can
vass of the world powers to see whether
the way was not still open for an I'M
Outstanding on the reservations by the
United States. and Mr.. Root plans to
undertake that canvass. He was re-
Gently named member of the commit
tee to revise the rules Of the World
Court and ne had an important part in
framing the World Court protocol.
Mr. Root was in Washington yester-
day and while here he conferred with
leaders of the Senate foreign relations
committee. including Chairman Borah,
Senator Walsh of Montana and Senator
Swanson of Virginia.
Mr.. Root resumed discussions with
Secretary Kellogg today. He will sail

Kellogg said, in response to an invitation
from the Council of the League of Ma
lions, to attend a meeting of jurists at
Geneva, March IL. called for the pur-
pose of studying revision Of the stat

After leaving the State Department
Mr.. Root called at the White House,
where President Coolidge invited him

CHANGE Of TRIAL
CHAIRMAN REFUSED
Policeman Loses Plea to
DisquaIify Sto|I at
Rehearing.

Granted a rehearing on charges of
leaving his beat and subsequently re-
moving a part of his uniform, Luther j.
Walker. policeman, appeared before
the Police Trial Board this morning and
was denied his request for a new chair
man of the board by Inspector Lewis j.
Stoll, who was chairman Of the board
which recently convicted him.
AS a matter of fact, it was pointed
out by Capts. Fred Cornwell and W. G.
Stott. Stoll's associates, none of the
present board may sit in Walkers case
if the objection to Inspector Stoll's
sitting is upheld.
Policeman r. j. Allen, refused per-
mission at the first hearing of Walkers
case to appear as counsel for the &C
cused policeman, and who again is at
tempting to appear as counsel in the
case. left for q conference with Maj.
Hesse Immediately after Inspector Stoll
announced his decision.
Sought Continuance.
Walker appeared before the board
this morning and sought continuance,
and when this was denied turned his
attention to Inspector Stoll'S serving in
the case again, holding that the board
chairman already has given voice to a
bias in the case. Walker originally was
found guilty as charged by the trial
board as 1t is constituted today and a
fine of SIS was ordered enforced.
The case was submitted to the Dis.
trict Commissioners in the nature OF
an appeal from the trial boards de-
cision and a rehearing of the evidence
was ordered by the Commissioners.
Might Embarrass Board.
Policeman Allen was barred from
acting as counsel for his brother off,
Ger at the original hearing on the
grounds, stated by Inspector Stoll, that
he might embarrass the board and
prejudice himself with his superior
officers through his questioning of them.
Policeman Allen claims that he has
been advised by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Fowler that he is within his
rights in appearing as counsel for his
brother oficer, and today he declared
his intention of again attempting to
defend Walker.
The rehearing was continued over to
this afternoon.

CRUISER APPROVAL
.ASSA|LED IN PARIS
Editorials Hold Little Sympa-
thy for Americas Claims
as to Her Needs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, February Passage of the
cruiser bill by the American Senate
evoked long editorials yesterday in both
lie Temps and the Journal des Dehats.
Little sympathy for Americas claims as
to her needs, especially in the matter
of parity with Great Britain, was found
in either article
Both, however, accepted unquestion-
ably statements by Sir Austen Chamber
lain, foreign secretary; w. c. Bridge
man. first lord of the admiralty, and
other British officials as to England's
requirements. pacific intentions and SUI
perior sacrifices III the scrapping of
warships.
"One can deduce from yesterdays
action in the Senate" said LIE Temps.
that the great ma jority of the Amer
lean Representatives favor policy
tending to assure the development of
the naval powers of the United States
in such conditions as not only to attain
effective parity with Britain, but also
in order that mastery of the oceans may
definitely be acquired by Americans"
Selfish Motive Seen.
The article said that the security
requirements of Great Britain and the
United States differed and that an alb
solute parity between the two navies
constituted false conception of equal
ity. The article added
But Americans have considered the
question only from the point of view
of their own pride. They will admit
that there might be in anv domain,
especially in that mastery of the seas,
nation more powerful than the Unit
ed States. AS long as this particular
point of view which has nothing in
common with the real needs of national
defense, prevails across the Atlantic.
an agreement for limitation of naval
ornaments that would be acceptable to
all interested powers will be difficult
to find"
England now, in the opinion of Jour-
nal des DebatS must proceed to a new
examination of the naval question.
The paper conceded that the late la
mented Anglo French naval accord. as
well as the breakdown of the tripartite
conference at Geneva, provoked the
American decision to increase its sea
power.
England Especially Affected.
"Other powers, including France, have
great interests at stake in the ques-
ton, but it is especially England which
is affected by the Senate action" and
the newspaper said, the London cabinet
wonders whether it must separate itself
from France and other powers in order
to be able to agree with America.
The article reminded England that
Anglo French and Anglo American
friendships were not incompatible. 1t
added: Despite what some Englishmen
still say, England is a European and
continental power. She is no longer
the island which she was up to the be-
ginning of this century. She must
adopt policies with that fact in mind"

FARM CONFERENCE
IS HELD UNLIKELY
Hoover, While Seeing Agri-
cultural Leaders, Does Not
Plan General Farley.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla, February z
R.-While President-elect Hoover will
confer with a number of farm leaders
in the formulation of an agricultural
relief program, he has no intention OF
calling general farm conference in
advance Of the special session OF Con-
greSS in April.
His general ideas on the subject al
ready have been outlined along broad
lines and no DOUBT will be restated in his
message to the Seventy-first Congress
at the converting of the extraordinary
session. Details naturally will be left to
the two Houses, committees of which are
expected to begin public hearings early
in March.
Opposes Governmental Interference.
Many plans will be presented to these
committees and the bill as finally re-
ported will be the result of process Of
elimination with the exception that the
fundamental principle will be that Of a
farm board and revolving fund with
provision made for the creation Of farm
owned and farm-controlled corporations
to assist in the orderly marketing OF
crops.
In the agricultural industry as well
as in all others, the President-elect
wants as little Government interference
as is consistent with the interest of the
people. His conception of the problem
is that the farmers want to conduct
their own industry along sound lines
with such Federal assistance as Will
enable it to reach parity with other
industries
Upward revision of tariff schedules
on farm products is one method which
has been promised and i'll the forth
coming general amendment to the pres
ent tariff law this will be sought along
with changes in schedules affecting
other products necessary to meet
changed conditions since these Sched-
ules were written.
Friends of Mr.. Hoover assert that
he does not look with favor upon a
general revision of the tariff. They rep
resent him as favoring only general
amendment to the present act which
viii afford the additional measure of
protection that certain industries need
in the light Of altered conditions af-
fecting them.
Session Date Is Undecided.
While Senator Smoot of Utah, chair
man of the Senate finance committee,
favors the calling of the extra session
on April /, the actual date of the con-
vening of Congress will depend largely
upon the progress made by the House
committees handling the farm relief
and tariff measures.
If these committees can be ready to
report out measures by the date sug-
gested by Senator Smoot, then Congress
probably will meet at that time. If
they cannot. then the call would be
for later date, but with little likeli-
hood that it would be after April Is.
as the leaders want to clean up their
work and get away before August.
All of these questions have formed
subjects of conferences which the
President-elect has been holding with
Senator Smoot. who is to remain here
for a week. They also will be taken up
with other Senate and House lead
ers after Mr. Hoover returns to Wash
ington short time before his inaugu-
ration on March 4.
