ROVER HITS KELLEY
JONES LAW STAND
Attorneys Volunteering to
Defend Dry vioIators
Raises Issue.

The announcement today Of Ralph j.
Kelley, secretary to former Senator Ed
wards, Democrat, New Jersey, and a
practicing attorney, that he would vol
unteer his services in the defense of
any person indicted under the Jones
law, met with the disapproval of Leo
A. Rover, United States attorney, who
stated that attorneys doing such work
should take care to comply with the
rules governing general practice in the
courts.
kelley issued formal statement in
which he said he Is prepared to CO.
operate with Mr.. Coudert and his fell
low New York and Brooklyn attorneys
in their prefer of legal aid and assist
ance to those who face five years in
jail and a $4,000 fine for possessing
or transporting a pint of stimulant."
Asserting that Washington, the
fountainhead of prohibition enforce
r1ens. boasts of more dives, speakeasieS
and bootleggers per city block than any
CITY of It's size in the United States"
Kelley said in his statement that some
thing should be done to convince the
courts. the fanatics and the churches
that true temperance can never be at
tanned through the imposition OF 1ao-
ulous zines and unjustifiable prison SEN
fences"
United States Attorney Rover took
vigorous exception to Kelley's descrip-
ton of Washington and said further
that serious effort is being made by
his ONCE to enforce the prohibition law.
Rover was also emphatic in his as
sertion that no effort is made by
"higher-ups" here to block liquor prose-
cutions, as Kelley charged.

BY the Associated Press.

p.
Commissioner Of Prohibition Doran
announced today that preparations for
utilizing additional funds for the en-
forcement Of prohibition laws were near
ing point where he could make pub
lie complete outline Of the dry situa-
ton.
The bureau win endeavor to show ex-
actly what are the present conditions, y
Doran said. I'm States where there Is
no local cooperation, where officials
are lukeWarm, or where sentiment is
adverse to the enforcement Of the law,
these facts win be shown. If there Is
hearty cooperation between LEGAL and
Federal authorities, and If convictions
are frequent in the State courts and by
juries In all courts, that will be de-
scribed"
Congress, In granting $780, 900 addi-
tional funds for enforcement work, In
Guided $4,000 for an educational cam
paign. The commissioner indicated that
he had about decided that this, fund
should not be used entirely to dissent

to the attention Of the public all phases
Of the prohibition problem. Il may be
decided, however, the commissioner
said, to use few posters TO show the
danger In drinking Illicit liquor.

FAN MAIL JAMS

Carloads of Protest Letters
Await Removal by "0Id
Paper Men.

Several carloads of radio "fan mail"
received by the Federal Radio Commits
sion during 1928 have been bundled to
await collection by old paper dealer
purchasers, and the personnel Of the
commissions Offices are heaving signs
of relief over the approach Of the re-
moval of the letters, which in recent
months actually have threatened to OBJ
struct the entrances and exits to the
quarters.
The Government guards its Offices
against possible loss or embarrassment
by the untimely destruction of COM
munications addressed to them. Ac-
cording to an act of Congress Of 1889,
committee must examine all papers
and recommend their disposal. The
disposal recommendation Is made to
Congress, which in turn authorizes the
removal of the useless papers" The
burning of this material is forbidden,
and 1t is required that the material be
sold and the proceeds paid into the
Treasury. A further provision requires
that all letters must remain in the files
for one year before they are eligible for
disposal.

very nearly brought about the complete
obstruction of the Radio Commissions
operation. More than 10000 letters
were received from friends of radio
station KWKH alone, located near
Shreveport, La, who wrote their pro-
test against the commissions rule which
obliged it to share its wave length with
station WWI of New Orleans. So great
was the volume of mail received from
this one source alone that'a special de-
partment was set up to handle the
letters. One bunch alone composed q
pile feet square.
At last, however, authority was OBJ
tanned by the Radio Commission to dis
pose of its stock of letters, and they.
including the Shreveport stations pro-
test mail, now are bundled and await
removal by the "old paper" man.

fired near where Allen was stationed
and that persons who were running
from the scene refused, on demand, to

pursuit Of them and that the trial
board, under no possible construction
Of the evidence, can ind the shooting
wilful or deliberate.
Allen also states that his removal

WASHINGTON, July 9-Woodrow Wilson inspired
Wade Hampton Ellis to write the foregoing limerick.
II was revealed the other night when Ellis appeared
before the Arts club in Washington and read a COL
lection of limericks inspired by the war president.
Ellis has given the collection the title Of "A Linn

President Wilson delighted in this form of poet
ical" expression. Nothing amused him more than to
submit a difficult word for "imerickal' treatment.
He frequently challenged Ellis, with Admiral Gray
son. the White House physician, as to ~go-betWeen.
One day he suggested the word wiener, and was vast
" entertained when Ellis read him the above lin

DOWN BY THE DEPOT
With the supreme court in recess for the summer
months, Justice Holmes has gone to Beverly blythe
Depot"-his summer home in Massachusetts,.
Justice Holmes himself gave this name to the lit
tie cottage where he has spent every summer for the
last so years. He says it distinguishes it from fash
ionable Beverly-by-the-Sea
The little cottage was inherited from his father,
the poet Oliver Wendell Holmes. With his strong at
tachment for books and study the distinguished jul
rist cares for no other recreation. And this summer
he will be in complete retirement, as Mrs. Holmes
died but a few months ago.
The other members of the supreme court have
scattered to all parts of this continent to spend the
summer.
Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft have gone to Murray
Bay, Canada, where they have had a summer home
for more than 30 years.
Justice Sutherland and Mrs. Sutherland have
chosen Burlingame, Cal, as a summer retreat, and
Justice and Mrs. Sanford chose Nantucket Island.
Justice and Mrs. Van Devanter have a favorite va
cation spot at Georgian Bay, Canada; Justice and
Mrs. Stone, at Isle-au-Haute, Maine, and Justice and
Mrs. Brandeis in Connecticut.
Only Justice and Mrs. Butler and the bachelor
member Of the court, Justice McReynolds, remain in
Washington.
A COOLIDGE
Before Calvin Coolidge left the White House and
Washington for Northampton he took time to auto
graph one of his pictures and send it to the proprie-
tor Of a newsstand not far from the executive mansion.
Mr.. Coolidge is a great lover of mystery stories.
often, while he was president, he became interested
in a story running serially in a monthly magazine.
1t was hard for him to wait for the next issue.
The news dealer learned Of the presidents eager
ness. Accordingly, just as soon as the magazines
reached him he would personally take the issue to
the White House. Otter MIR. Coolidge would get his
magazine two or three days before they were put on
sale at the newsstands.
IN token Of his appreciation Mr.. Coolidge sent his
autographed picture to the dealer before leaving
washington.

Valley farms not only remain productive, puV VAL
ley farmers are growing increasingly efficient.
This seems to be about the only conclusion TO be
drawn from statistics on crop yields in the past five
years.
Production, in CARROTS, has doubled, figures from
the railroads show, but acreage in cultivation is not
more than one-third larger.
In the 1924 season 2,132 cars Of vegetables were
shipped from the Valley. That year it was estimated
about $4,000 acres Of land was being devoted 10
growing truck crops.
In the past season, that Of 1e2s-2e, 22,o97 cars
Of vegetables were shipped and it was estimated that
about 100000 acres Of Valley land was being devoted
to growing truck.
This is an encouraging sign, one which indicates
Valley farms are retaining all their original fertility
and at the same time the men who are cultivating
them are. developing more satisfactory cultural
methods.
The growth in shipments from the Valley has been
constant for many years past, but the greatest per-
cent of increase has taken place in the past two sea-
sons. A part of the unusual gain in the last two years
has been on account Of big increase in citrus fruit
Yields, but the vegetable production has kept pace
with the growing citrus output, except for the season
OF 1867.
For instance: TT TT FT"tl
In 1924 vegetable shipments were 1882 cars
fruit shipments were negligible.
In 1e24-25 vegetable shipments were 1914 cars
fruit shipments still were under 100 cars.
In 1852 vegetable shipments were 14,1O1 cars
fruit shipments we're 286 cars.
In le26-27 vegetable shipments we're 1875 cars
fruit shipments were TAO cars.
In 1929 vegetable shipments were 1904 cars
fruit shipments were 1,246 cars.
In 1928-29 vegetable shipments were 22;097 cars
fruit shipments were liza cars.
These figures represent only that portion OF the
crop which was forwarded each year in carlots by
freight and agents of the railroads and express COM
panies agree that less than car lot shipments have
been moving In increasing volume each year.
In other words, while these figures serve to show
the proportion Of increase in yield they do not give
the actual yield. Several hundred cars Of products
were forwarded each year by express, and it is esti-
mated that the total movement this year probably
exceeded $4,000 cars.
The freight carlot shipment figures are especially
unfair to the citrus industry as more and more fruit
IS being moved each year by express in small ship
ments and trucks haul many thousand boxes Of fruit
out of the district each year.
While the freight movement of citrus was liza
ears this past season, 1t is estimated that at least $500
cars of citrus we're moved by all means Of transporta-
ion.
