at the instance Of Major E. W. Glib
son, assistant attorney general Of
Virginia. Major Gibson came here
this morning to prosecute the Negro,
jim Lee. Commonwealth Attorney
Lindsay was in court during the
hearing, but he took no part IN the
prosecution. Major Gibson handled
the case alone.
The warrant was served on Lewis
Lindsay about o'clock tonight. He
will appear at Gloucester Courthouse
tomorrow morning, at which time ar
rangements will be made for bond.
Lee was arrested by Rhoads, fol-
lowing a raid on a still located on
the property OF 3. F. Lindsay, near
Belroi, father of Lewis Lindsay and
the Commonwealth's Attorney, both
of whom reside with their parent.
! Lee, who, it IS understood, viii be
used as a witness by the Common
wealth, after the grand jury has act
ed on the charges against him, tes-
tilted that he had been employed by
Lewis Lindsay to operate the still.
iClosely questioned by Major Gibson,
the Negro said Lindsay had come to
his home and entered into bargain
with him to transport meal, sugar,
Imash and equipment to the location
on which the still was set up. he
aid the sugar and meal had been
hidden in the woods and that Lind
saw had hauled the material from this
cache to the site on which the still
was in operation when raided. Lee
also told Of accompanying Lindsay TO
The home of another Negro, who, wit
nesses testified, had the reputation
Of making the "best liquor in Glou-
cester." The second Negro, Chap
man Cofeld, was held for the grand
iury. which convenes Monday.
Deputy Sheriff Rhoads testified to
finding the still in full operation,
with eight barrels of mash and sew
enty-fve gallons of liquor nearby.
The still was being prepared for a
run" when the officer arrived at
the scene.
Rumors that Lee would make a
clean breast Of the charges against
him and implicate several higher
ups'' in the alleged liquor conspiracy
had been rife in Gloucester since the
raid on the Lindsay property, and a
crowded room heard the Negro relate
his story.

farmers last year. His bolt from the
Hoover farm program was even more
spectacular and vehement than his
campaign for the party candidate.
All along he has kept on digging up
dirt in the Republican party's major
standing scandal, the southern pa
tronage system, showing how G. Q. r.
politicians in that area have profited
handsomely by distribution Of federal
offices awarded for nothing more
than their services at national con-
ventions. President Hoover is UNDER
stood to endorse heartily the work OF
B~rookhart's patronage committee. but
its popularity among other Repuo-
lican politicians Is not so much.
Another example Of Brookhart's
propensities for hell raising Is his
determination for reforming the
movie trust. He is pushing a bill to
prohibit blind booking and block
booking of movie films, arbitrary dis
tribution Of films to theatcrs In which
producers arc interested and other
methods now In use. His announced
purpose is to preserve 1.-The remaining
vestige of competition" in the indus
try and create possible new compc-
tition.
Brookhart charges that Will Hays,
former chairman Of the Republican
national committee, was employed as
"a 'fixer' to protect the industry
against any sort of reform or regula-
ton through public action" Hays
never did anything to improve the
moral tone Of the movies. Brookhart
says. but has surrounded himself with
politicians to engage In continuous
warfare against reform measures In
congress and state legislatures. He
charges, in effect. that Hays has been
helpful in keeping the government
from enforcing the law against the
Motion Picture Trust"
Charges Attempted Monopoly
1.-THE other real purpose for which
Hays was employed" he says. was to
end the competition existing among
the producers and distributors and to
pave the way for the monopolizatton
Of the entire industry, including the
exhibition field. So successful has
been the plan that the producers and
distributors Of 90 per cent Of the films
used in this country are now Joined
in an offensive alliance through the
Hays organization.
mo combination ever before repre-
sented such absolute control Of an in
dustry In the economic history Of the
United States"
Inasmuch as the principal movie
magnates are generally staunch Re-
p%ublicans, that's another thing that
Mr.. Fess and his friends have against
Mr.. Brookhart.

It became a heartbreaking game
that Tony Tarver played there in

But the girl who was not there
seemed to laugh, that shallow. easy
little laugh that had lacerated poor

that afternoon, AZ Mary Burns
drawled and chartered about herself
and Sandy Ross.
"You didn't help him find these

And then all the Sandy ROSES who

(NEA Service Writer)

washington, May 24.-Thc Hon.
Smith Wildman Brookhart, senator
from Iowa, is never mentioned now
adays without use Of his middle name.
Brookhart is not the brainieSt man
In the senate, but he has a way OF
going after firmly cntrenched per-
sonages, institutions and selfish IN
tercsts which is no more remarkable
for the reckless spirit which Brook
hart displays than for his high per-
centage of effectiveness. Quite a few
persons have learned that it isn't safe
to monkey with B%rookhart, who never
takes anything lying down.
Senator Daniel F. Steck. Brook
hart's Democratic colleague, who was
elected by an anti-Brookhart political
combination. found that out a couple
of years ago when he charged that
Brookhart was a paid lobbyist In con-
nection with a presidential appoint
ment. BY the time Brookhart fin
ished with him, Steck had lost most
of his tail feathers and had with
drawn the charge.
Attacked Fess, Too
Of course BrOOkhart made Sena-
tor Simeon Fess of Ohio look rather
silly the other day after the ill-cor1-
sidered Tess letter in which Brook
hart was called a pseudo Republic
can" and a marplOt. But that hap
pens to Tess almost automatically
whenever anyone in the senate un-
dertakes to chastise him for cause.
Brookhart shines when OH the Of
fensive and that's almost all tho
time. With equal fervor he assails
the bankers, the Republican party,
the president and the movie indus
try. The conservatives say he's IN
couth, but that doesn't lessen the
force of his wallops. It's true that
he was born in a log cabin some SO
years ago and never went to college.
but he Is ordinarily a quite pleasant
and amiable person. with a war rec
ord covering the Spanish American
struggle, Mexican border service and
the World war. He is rugged and
strong, short and chunky and his
smile resembles that of a man who
is about to commit a long anticipated
murder of vengeance.
Brookhart vas on the administra-
ton side during the last campaign,
but it didn't last long. Before the
conventions he was advocating the
nomination Of Senator George w.
Norris. Now. in farm relief debate,
he has become one of President Hoo

kQueried as to the probable eco
nomlc consequences of the fall in
wheat quotations, the head of
large machinery company, who
keeps his finger on the farmers
pulse, replied: "The effect Of the
decline In wheat prices is
very apparent. Now II ! snot a
question Of what It Is going to

Of course. refers particularly to

The downward swing in wheat
quotations is of interest not only
tc farmers. but also to mail order
houses and makers of agricultu-
raj implements and miscellaneous
merchandise sold on the farm.
Not Justified
Thomas d. Campbell, Of Hardin,
Mont. one of the outstanding
wheat growers of the country, in
a message to this column, con-
tends that the recent speculative
decline in wheat prices is not
justified by economic conditions.
In appraising the farm prob
lem from a longer-term stand
point, Mr.. Campbell, who is presi-
dent of the Campbell Farming
Corporation. which is conducted
as a big business and which
plants $4,000 acres in wheat and
flax in Montana, says that the
farmer is suffering from a psy-
Geological attitude of defeatism.
1.-THE greatest obstacle of all in
the solution of the farm prob
lem" he said, ''is the universal
belief held by bankers, financial
men, and the public in general.
that farming cannot succeed. 1t
has created a psychology in the
minds of every one which Is
harder to overcome than hot
winds, drought, hail storms, grass
hoppers and variable markets.

Give to agriculture the asne ad-
vantages of our tariff which in

cial support that industry gets
