Writ on Grounds of Lack

Declaring that the District police
have no authority to make an arrest
at Rosslyn, Va, Ernest c. Shockey.
operator of lunch room concession in
the waiting room of the Arlington &
Fairfax Railway Co. Station at Rosslyn
Va, yesterday applied to the District SUI
preme Court for writ of habeas corpus,
directed to Maj Henry G. Pratt, super
tntendent of police. Shockey was ar
rested last Saturday by Capt. Maurice
Collins of the seventh precinct and
group of officers on charge of operating
slot machine.
Attorney Crandal Mackey, represent
ing Shockey, in asking for the writ
claimed that the police officers were
without authority, as the District of
Columbia has no Jurisdiction in Arling-
ton County. If his client had conn
mitted Federal offense, the lawyer
said, he should have been taken to the
Court for the Eastern Federal District
of Virginia and not to q District police
station.
Justice Stafford directed the issuance
OF the writ on the chief Of police for
the immediate presence In court of the
prisoner. Bond will probably be given
Tor O hearing at later date.

ST|MSON STUDIES
JEWISH MANDATE
Secretary Pressed to Act on
British Stand in PaIes-
tine Problem.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated PRESS.
Secretary Stimson, pressed by an out
pouring OF appeals for action from Jew
ish leaders in the United States, Is Civ
ing active consideration to the Palestine
problem.
The Secretary declined, until he had
the fun facts before him, to make any
public statement on the situation which
resulted from the restriction on fur
Their Jewish immigration into Palestine
imposed by the British government,
holder OF League Of Nations mandate
over the territory.
Documents Are Studied.
Immediately upon the arrival by
diplomatic pouch from London of a
mass of official documents relating to
the new British declaration of policy,
the Secretary began study Of the en-
tire problem.
One course Of action which may be
taken by the Secretary is the issuance
OF q public statement giving the view-
point OF the American Government
whether it considers the rights of Amer
lean Jews affected by the new British
policy. Another course would be repre-
sentationS to the British in the event it
we're believed American rights are af-
fected, and q third alternative Is a
strict hands-of policy If the British
pollCy Is helQ commensurate with the
best interests Of the inundated territory.
U. s. Rights Recognised.
Under the Balfour declaration, made
by Lord Balfour when foreign minister
OF Great Britain in 1917, Great Britain
was asserted TO favor the establishment
In Palestine Of national home for the
Jewish race. In the declaration, how
ever, was a clause that this home was
favored so long as it did not interfere
with the rights of other nationals in
the territory.
American rights, of the same status
as those Of nationals of the League of
Nations members countries, were recog-
nized by Great Britain in an Anglo
American treaty in 1924.

Worms 80 Million
Years Old Found
In Illinois Coal
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November A.
Worms, estimated by scientists to
be 100000. 900 years old, are on
display here.
They were found, preserved as
corbonaceous matter, near Blue
Island, III, by Bryan Patterson
Of the department Of geology of
the Field Museum, where they
we're placed on exhibit.
Worms, !" said Patterson, "being
soft-bodied creatures, are COM
paratively rare as fossils and
usually the only traces of them
are their burrows or tracks.
ITO find them In abundance,
pressed fiat between layers of a
shaly rock and preserved as a
thin sheet Of carbonaceous mat
ter, as was the case In this nearby
Chicago locality, is indeed a rare
thing"

OPPOSES CHANGE
IN MARKETING ACT
Head of Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON Declares This Is No
Time for Amendments.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, December 8.-Revision Of
the agricultural marketing act was
opposed today by Sam H. Thompson,
president Of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, in his address opening the
annual three-day convention of the
organization.
It believe there is in the act all the
authority to do the fundamental things
that we want done. The time Is not
here for discussion Of amendments" he
said.
Attending the convention were farm
leaders from every agricultural section
OF the country, seeking through discus
sionS OF their mutual problems practical
methods for their solution. These in
clude rural credits agricultural taxation,
acreage reduction, submarginal lands
and transportation.
Denies Claim Of Overproduction.
In his opening address, President
Thompson challenged what he said was
prevailing opinion that agriculture's
troubles were due to overproduction.
The cause, he said, lay In faulty dis
surplus OF goods that could not be sold
with adequate return to the producer,
he admitted, but added:
In terms OF human need there Is no
surplus. In our great cities today are
hundreds OF thousands of men and
women, walking the streets, idle. Fac
tory doors are dark and multitudes are
hungry. There are today, too, millions
OF farm people in need OF every product
OF those factories and there are millions
OF dollars worth Of farm products rotting
in the ground because there Is no
market for that product.
The fault cannot be explained by
the word surplus On the one hand
are millions needing food and without
the wherewithal to get ton the other
hand millions desiring the products Of
the hungry city workers"
Criticizes Rural Credits System.
Thompson declared that rural credit
and questioned the theory that q large
crop brought q smaller return than q
small crop.
Regarding the acreage reduction pro-
gram Of the Federal Farm Board and
the Department Of Agriculture, he said:
The statistics have been accurate,
but am not sure that we. as farmers,
can entirely agree with the deductions
that have been made from them"
Farm Board Act Commended.
He commended the activities of the
Federal Farm Board in stabilizing the
wheat crop and said the same effort
should be applied to other crops, par
ttcularly TO corn.
With regard to the agricultural
marketing act. he said any amending
must be done bv its friends and mot
by It's enemies, who are legion"
