RESULTSOF FARM
A|DB|LL DOUBTED
Agricultural Authority Cues.
tions Ability of Board to
Help Growers.
BY J. c. BOYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June .12.-ProgresS
toward passage of the farm relief meas
ure has brought no smile or rejoicing
from the majority of the wheat-growing
communities, according to reports re-
ceived from wide territory today.
The farmers point out that the meas
ure sets up board to promote order
ly marketing of farm products and in
vestigate trends of production and con-
sumption as a basis for production
guidance. 1t will take months, they be-
lieve, to set UP the machinery of such
board and get it into operation.
In the meantime there is huge sur
plus OF wheat in storage The estimate
OF the Winter wheat crop just issued is
622, $4,000 bushels. This compares
with the 1928 crop Of 100000 BUSH
els. The Spring wheat crop, with fav-
orable weather, also is likely to be ex-
tremely large
Canada has large amount to mar
ket and cuts in freight rates have been
made there to enable the Canadian
growers to market their product adj
vantageouSly. The Dominion can go
further in that direction than the
United States, since it operates the
main wheat-carrying railroads.
Agriculture will be hurt more than
it is helped by the relief legislation,
according to the Corn Belt Farm Dailies,
in a review of the situation. This
authority points out that the measure
has helped to create an impression that
farming is hopeless business and that
farm land is an investment to avoid
just when the idea that farms at pres
ent prices might prove good buy was

CONVERTIBLE BOND
LIST SHOWS GAIN
New Treasury Issue Is Well
Observation-Disclosures
Under Pressure.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
IL Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 12.-Contrary to
statements made in some quarters a
week ago that the new Treasury issue
of 51s per cent certificates would not
be well received the actual fact is
that it has been oversubscribed two
and half times with allotments made
today on a general average of 40 per
cent and as low as 80 per cent on the
larger amounts
Were it not for the approaching
period of high money rates at the end
OF the month and probably through the
first 10 days of July the favorable re-
ception given to these certificates would
have an important bearing on prices
of high-grade investments Those who
purchased them and have the advantage
of their taX-exempt feature, which
makes the net yield above $50 per cent,
would not have been attracted to them
had they expected a long season of
high call money rates. The results to
the Treasury are the most satisfying of
any recent issues

gaining a foothold. This analysis de-
clares that those who are conducting
their farms as any good business is
conducted - keeping books, studying
costs and adjusting operations to
changing conditions-are winning.
It adduces as proof the increase
shown by compilation made by Iowa
State College and shows the variation
between good and bad management by
the high farm with management
return of $4,000 and the low farm with
loss of $4,000.
o. P. B. Jacobson, chairman of the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission, asserts that the aims of
legislation to bring about farm relief
in wheat sections will be unavailing
He agrees with a recent statement of
President E. E. Loomis of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad and director Of the
Great Northern that the solution lies
in offering wheat for export to Euro
peans on wheat grades like those of
Canada.

Convertibles Stronger.

Convertible bonds today had a
stronger tone. The Telephone 4IaS
were both up point. Public Service
of New Jersey AIS gained points and
Atchlson 4 l2s were about point high
err. There has been some reaction in
Missouri Pacific convertible 515s and in
the new Ar per cent issue of the South
ern Pacific, in both of which active COW
ering last week was responsible for their
rallies.
Several high COUPON industrial bonds
were under pressure and touched new
low prices for the year. Conspicuous in
this group were the uban-Dominican
TVS, which broke 4 points and below
S. compared with a high figure of the
year of about 90. This company has
been seriously affected by the decline in
raw sugar. Lorillard SIS lost another
point and were Is points under the
best of the year and at their lowest.
| The Philadelphia & Reading converti-
BILE IS dropped point, selling So points
under the price at which they were
offered in March.
Strong features in the railroad list
were st. Louis, Southwestern SIS, up 2
points, and Kansas City Southern SIS,
which had a similar gain and have re-
Gently rallied 5 points.
New Offerings Larger.
The swift pace of the German dollar
bond market recently had tendency
to exhaust its vitality, with the result
that there has been reaction Of from
to 21a points in some of the issues
that made the largest response to the
debt settlement Very good buying of
foreign issues has been observed in this
market lately from Dutch, Swiss, Eng
lish and Scandinavian banking and in
surance interests.
New offerings today were larger in
number and in volume than for some
time. including over $10,000,000 OF
municipaIS with 1880 maturities on a
512 er cent basis and $10,000000 Of
fering of public utility convertible

WATSON FREED ON BAIL WITH
 HEARING SOON
Posts $2,OOO Bail in As- sault Case-Not Impli-
 cated in Other Attacks

Fred Watson, arrested yesterday on a charge of assaulting Jesse Thompson. 18-year old Indian girl from Yakutat, was arraigned be- fore Judge Frank A. Boyle in the United States Commissioners Court. His bail was fixed at $2,000 and he was released when it was fur nished.
 He will have preliminary hear ing when the United States District Attorney returns from Ketchikau, probably in about a week or ten days.
 Matson was freed from suspicion of being the slugger of two women here last Saturday evening. When he was arrested yesterday morning police authorities were inclined to believe he was responsible for those attacks. Yesterday afternoon however, Mrs. Walter B. Heisel and Miss Viola Riendeau, who were the victims of Saturdays attacks, faced Matson and cleared him of suspicion by saying he was not the man. While neither of them had seen the face of their assailant they agreed that Matson could not have been he, as he was both taller and heavier than the man Whc had attempted to slug them.

Demand Made by Senator Caraway for Complete
 Probe of Activities

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Exposure of the futility of Washington lob byists to enactment of the law re- quiring registration of lobbyists, is before Congress and will be sought at the forthcoming regular Senate session.
 An investigation demanding actual activities of paid representatives of those seeking legislation and accounting as to how money IS spent, has been made by Senator Caraway. The inquiry is expected to curtail future usefulness.
 Let's find out how the parasites spend their money. I think that to a considerable extent the money winds up in their own pockets" said Senator Caraway.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct 4.-Bish- op John Gardner Murray, head of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, died from a stroke of paralysis during a meet ing of the Board of Bishops.
 A business career of eleven years. enforced upon him by circumstan- ces in the midst of his preparation for the ministry, proved blessing in disguise for Bishop John Gard ner Murray Later in life when he became the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States that earlier training helped him to gain the distinction of being one of the outstanding re- ligious executives and administrl- tors of the country.
 The bishop, however, did not re : gard as the all important thing in religious work the necessity of busi- ness training for ministers. Asked if he thought all clergymen should have that training before entering the priesthood he replied Tt is not so important that clergymen should have business training as that business men should have some religious training"
 As the presiding Bis hop and President of the National Council of the Episcopal Church in the United States, Bishop Murray oc- cupied a position similar to that of the Archbishop of Canterbury ecclesiastical head of the Church of England. There is, however, this marked difference between the two offices: The Archbishop of Canter- bury is appointed by the British Grown, while the presiding bishop of the American church is elected by the Episcopal general conven- tion for a term of six years. Bishop Murray was the first presiding bish- op thus elected, all those preceding him in the office and prior to the general convention of 1925 at which Bishop Murray was elected, having executives and administrators o1 the country.
 Although he was one of the fore most spiritual leaders of the Epis- copal church, Bishop Murray hao achieved notable success in .nt financial and commercial worlc before he embarked upon what always had been his life's ampi- tion-service in the church.
 Bishop Murray was born at Lona- coming, Md, August 31, 1857. After completing his theological studies the death of his father compelled him to postpone his entry into tht ministry, the future bishop being obliged to enter business to hell support his mother and three broth CTS and sisters. In eleven year! and when he had reached the agt of 35, he was in position to satts. 1 fy his ambition and was ordained

'CONv|CTS STAGE RIOT IN PRISON
 DAY AND NIGHT
End to Chaotic Affair Comes Before Dawn Ring
 leaders Suicide
THIRTEEN MEN DEAD
 FIVE ARE WOUNDED
Dynamite, Machine Guns, Tear Gas Used But
 Without Effect

CANON CITY, Colorado, Oct. A. The definite end of the prolonged chaotic prison break at the Colo rado State Penitentiary came as dawn broke over the mutiny rack ed institution and besieged con- victs, walked from the cell house in orderly fashion, with hands over their heads.
 The exodus of the convicts fol- lowed receipt of the news that the ringleaders of the rebellion, which took the lives of 13 men and se- riously wounded five others, had shot themselves during the early morning without opposition.
 Guards swarmed the enclosure and surrounded the convicts.
 Instigators Suicide
 One guard who had been held prisoner, said Danny Daniels, Ma jor Davis and Red Riley, the three known instigators of the plot, com mitted suicide.
 The end of the mutiny came after 8 day and night of furious fight ing during which time guards, held as hostages by the prisoners, were murdered when demands to Warden Crawford for safe conduct from the prison, were refused.
 During the riot, dynamite, bar rage of machine gun and rifle bull lets and tear gas failed to van- quish the entrenched prisoners. Bodies Are Found Guards entering the prison found the bodies of the ringleaders, ap- Iparently dead. They noted the rebellion calmed down about two hours before the prisoners march ed from the stronghold.
 Fifteen feet inside lay the dead guard, murdered by Daniels and nearby lay Daniels, the known ex- ecutioner of three defenseless guards.
 It was evident that the ring leaders killed themselves. Their features were mutiliated Riot at Signal The rioting broke out at noon yesterday and parently a lprearranged signal was known. James Perdue struck a guard on the head with chair and then 900 prisoners broke loose. They seized the arsenal and kidnapped the guards.
 Fire Breaks Out
 Fire then swept the chapel, mess hall and two cell houses. Abade Wiggins, guard, was mur- dered in cold blood.
 "Wiggins, have you said your prayers?" asked Daniels.
 "Yes, where do you want me to stand" said Wiggins.
 Right where you are" said Dan- iels.
 Daniels then shot Wiggings in the head.
 Turning to John Shea, another guard, Daniels said:
 You have been pretty good sport. Wiggins was not"
 Shea said later Daniels ordered Marvin Duncan to say his prayers.
