EXPECT EMERGENCY RATES
TO AID VALLEY HAY MEN

past has put Imperial Valley out of
the running as regards sales of hay
in the middle west. Shipments CON
signed to farther eastern points now
enjoy the same rates as Yuma, but
the great middle west, which de-
mands more hay than any other
region, has been barred to Imperial
Valley hay growers.
HAYS intends to contend further
for rates equal to those enjoyed by
Yuma Valley, which later has the
benefit of the same rates applying
from Phoenix and the Salt River
Valley. "This emergency reduction
in hay rates will come as a welcome
move - Hays stated, ''to the feeders
of cattle in the dry eastern areas
as well as to the hay growers of
Imperial County, who this year have
an unsold surplus of hay. Imperial
Valley growers, however, will not
be satisfied until Imperial Valley
rates on hay are made uniform with
those established for Yuma Valley
Scott y. Foulds, manager of the
Imperial County Farm Bureau, has
received n letter from G. j. Blech,
general freight agent of the South
ern Pacific, indicating early action
on an adjustment of the hay rates.
Blech advises that the proposal for
rates equal to the Yuma rate has
been docketed with the Transcon-
tinental Freight Bureau, whose
standing rate committee has made
recommendation, final action on
which should be known within a
few days. If no objections are filed
by any of the transcontinental lines,
it is expected the adjustment will be
made and the new rates published
promptly.

GAMBLING DEFENDANT
LOSES QUASH MOTION
Justice Gordon Rules All Four
Charged With Running Game
Must Continue Defense.

District Supreme Court Justice Pey-
ton Gordon, in Criminal Division l. to-
day overruled motion of Edward Kill
leen, jointly indicted with four others
on a charge of setting up a gaming
table on the third floor Of 1910 G
street, for a directed verdict of not
guilty.
Attorney James A. O'Shea, for the
accused, contended that the Govern
ment had offered no evidence to show
that Killeen was ever seen about the
place or had ever accepted a bet and
urged that it would be mere speculation
to have the jury infer that because he
made loan of $500 to meet a request
for an advance of rental he was the
moving spirit in the enterprise.
Assistant United States Attorney Will
liam H. Collins insisted that the evi-
dence of at least one witness was to
the effect that the defendant who leased
the premises when asked for an advance
OF rent declared that he had to see
about it, and that it was Killeen who
assured the witness that the money
would be forthcoming.
The court also overruled motions Of
Attorneys Whelan & O'Connell and l..
L. WhiteStone for Harry Conn, Benny
Lewis, Kirk Callenberger and Henry
Tucker, the other defendants, asking
for an acquittal of their clients.
The defense was required to submit
its evidence. The case will probably 90
to the jury tomorrow.

YOUNGEST HOOVERS
ARRIVE IN CAPITAL
Three Grandchildren of Presi-
dent and First Lady Bright
en- White House.

Children'1 voices re-echoed about the
White House today, and the mansion
seemed more like a real home.
The change was wrought by the ar
rival yesterday of the three grandchil-
dren of President and Mrs. Hoover.
The children, Peggy Anne, who is AZ
years old; Herbert Sd, not quite 3, and
Joan, less than a year old, came here
with their mother, Mrs. Herbert Hoo
yer, jr., from their home in Pasadena,
Calf, to be nearer their father, re-
cuperating in North Carolina. The
grandmother was at the station to greet
them upon their arrival. -'
The President and Mrs. Hoover had
postponed their breakfast so as to have
this happy little group with them for
that meal today. After this the two
older children lost no time exploring
the great house about which they evi-
IDENTIFY had heard so much. The top
floor OF the White House has been al
tered to provide suitable living and play
rooms for these youngsters and to house
the nurse and governess who will have
them in charge.
The youngsters are prepared to be
very good, for Christmas is coming soon.
This is to be a special Christmas, in a
place where the weather is more like
what Santa Claus is used to than at
their own home. Their grandparents,
also, make much of the day. The
youngsters don't know it, but Mrs. Hoo
yer already has been out looking for
toys to MI their stockings.

BALTIMORE, December 8.-Hidden
in a tank aboard the freighter Mum
loyal of the Munson Steamship Co.,
Baltimore customs inspectors Saturday
discovered $50 gallon demijohns Of Ba-
cardi rum, valued at $1,000. The
freighter arrived in port Thursday with
a cargo of refined sugar from Havana.
Customs men declined to say what,
prompted them to closely examine the
vessel, but company agents here were
OF the opinion stowaways were sought.
The Federal authorities pointed out
the seizure was not in the nature of a
prohibition raid, but merely the cap
ture of undeclared goods. They added
they did not expect to find any more
contraband, but that they were taking
no chances"
A hearing will be arranged tomorrow,
at which Charles H. Holman, collector
OF customs, will attempt to fix respon-
s1bility for the presence of the contra
band. Capt. H. B. Fluck was in COM
mand of the freighter, and the lines
agents said he and the other officers
would be produced when called Cor by
the customs men.
The haul was described by the officers
as one of the largest of its kind made
in recent years in this port.

Prohibitions FOES
MEET ON PROGRAM
Constitutional vention
Opens to Plan Unified Ac-
tion Against Drys.

With representation from practically
every State In the Nation, the National
Constitutional Convention, considering
the liquor question on the premise that
prohibition Is failure, was opened at
the Raleigh Hotel this morning.
The convention will continue a week
or 10 days to determine upon what basis
OF modification of the prohibition laws
the modificationists should coordinate
their efforts.
In the opening address to the conven-
ton this morning, Rice Hooe. local
lawyer, chairman of the Executive Com
mlstee OF the Federal Dispensary-Tax
REDUCTION League, this organization
sponsoring the convention, stated:
Temperance Is Keynote.
Temperance is the keynote Of the
convention. Temperance In thought in
place of bigotry; temperance in life in
place Of indulgence; temperance in law
In place Of violence.
After more than IL years Of trial.
national prohibition Is no longer an
experiment. 1t Is a failure. 1t is a sad
and sinister spectacle. 1t Is a curse
upon the Nation.
Dry demagogues may cry 'Prohibi-
lion! ProhibitionP but there Is no pro-
hibition. Attempted prohibition has
turned our churches into political meet
ing houses, our homes into breweries and
wineries, our offices into bar rooms, our
highways into slaughter houses, our
apartment houses into brothels, our
prisons into scenes of riot, arson and
murder, our borders into armed camps.
our Government officials into corrup-
tlonists or moral towards, our Consti-
tuition into scrap Of paper, our liberty
into slavery, our very life into he'll on
earth.
Temperatures war on prohibition Is
actually declared"
Mr.. Hooe appointed Charles w. Darr,
former president of the Washington
Chamber Of Commerce, as temporary
chairman for the purpose Of organiza-
ton.
VIII Determine Program.
The convention will continue until its
delegates are agreed upon a basis for
which modifcationiSts may cooperate In
a Nationwide movement to bring about
constructive modification of the prohi-
bition law and to present program for
those opposed to prohibition In its
present form to work out.
Organizations with representatives
taking part In the convention. include:
The Congressional District Modification
League, the Concurrent Prohibition
League, the Federal Dispensary-Tax
Reduction League, the Mobilization
League, the National Constitution

ton Union and the Wisconsin Wet
League, and q number Of State and

port of each days deliberations will be

for the next fiscal year, there will be
danger Of delaying all Of the appropria-
ton bills by a recurrence Of the con-
troversy on each bill, in the opinion
Of Senator Jones Of Washington, chair
man of the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
Senator Jones was not ready to dis
close his own views on the question IN
advance of its consideration by the
Appropriations Committee, but indicated
he felt that if some adjustment of the
matter could be reached on this first
bill 1t would help to eliminate the like
lhood Of slowing up the other appro-
pr1atlon bills, especially since this is
short session in which time is an TN
portant factor.
The question was precipitated in the
House last week. when the House Ap-
preparations Committee added a clause
to the first supply bill, forbidding the
use of funds in that bill to make salary
increases within grades Of the classifca-
ton law during the next fiscal year
The same thing was done In the Interior
bill today. The effect of the House
amendment would be to postpone for
one year the beginning Of the program
recommended in the Presidents budget
method to raise under-average salary
gradually during the next few years.
1t was pointed out that there are
scattered through the Government SER
vice groups of positions which have not
been brought up to the average intended
by the classification law.
The Treasury-Post Office bill will be
handled in the Senate by subcommit-
tee Of which Senator Phipps of Colo
fado Is chairman. The subcommittee

morrow morning. After the subcom-
hnittee has finished its work, the bill

three weeks.
Beginning with the unofficial visit TO
the Capital Of DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
former president of the German Reichs-
bank, flood Of rumors and counter
rumors with international finance as
their center have caused considerable
concern to State officials.
Denials Are Made.
Interpreted by some financial writer's
both in the United States and Europe
as move on the part of Germany to
sound out American officials on a pos
sible reparations moratorium, the visit
of the German f1nancier attracted wide
spread attention, which compelled de-
malls by Washington off1cialdom that
the visit concerned Americas position
on moratorium.
In the face Of the most vigorous
denials, both by Secretary Stimson and
Ambassador de MARITIME of Italy, a
rumor that Italy had been denied a
loan because of State Department OBJ
lection continued to spread during last
week in official and financial circles.
The report of the Italian loan was
linked to Franco-Italian naval pegoti-
ations on settling differences existing
since the London conference. 1t was
contented by some writer's that the
United States had denied a loan to
bring pressure on Prime Minister Mus
solini of Italy, 70 force settlement

barraSsed by these rumors have said

to disturb Italy's credit
On the other hand, those who credit
the rumors point to the visit to the
United States of Count Volpi former
italian minister of finance and now
holder of large industrial interests, as
a possible Link with loan to Italy.
The visit which Gov. George B. Har-
rison of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York has been making to Euro
pean countries also has excited more
than casual interest abroad with many
reports that his trip had a distinct
connection between finance and inter-
national politics. This, too, has been
denied emphatically by Secretary Stim-
son.

Secretary Stimson today reiterated
the denial that the American Govern

Gated bankers its disapproval Of loans

Britisher Does Not Believe
Election Means Dry Senti-
ment Change.

Lord Astor of Great Britain, his trim
fgure emphasized by a smart-fitting
business suit, and DIR. Clarence True
Wilson, the militant general secretary of
the Methodist Board of Temperance,
participated in an intimate exchange of
views across a flat-topped desk in DR..
Wilson's spacious offices in the Meth
odist Building this morning.
For more than an hour the titled
Englishman, whose wife is the Ameri-
can-born Nancy Langhorne of Virginia,
chatted cordially with the Methodist
dry leader. Then, describing their con-
versation as very revealing" he walked
briskly through the building while Dr.
Wilson described the various activities
of the Methodist Board.
Lord Astor, who arrived in the coun-
try several days ago to pay his first
visit In six years, arranged the call him
self. The two men had never met, al
though Lord Astor called at DR.. Will
sons offices when here the last time.
While in Washington he is visiting in
formally with various Government OFF,
cials and spokesmen for organized
groups in making survey of the pres
ent-day American scene.
While other callers waited, the Eng
lishman and DR.. Wilson discussed recent
prohibition polls taken in the United
States and the results of the congress
sional elections.
Lord Astor gave DR.. Wilson the i'm
preston that he does not regard the
election results indicative of any major
change in prohibition sentiment. DR..
Wilson told his visitor that the drys
elected one more Senator than the vets
and that in the House the drys would
not lose more than four votes. The
election result, said DR.. Wilson, was a
Democratic turnover, not unexpected in
an off year, when conditions generally
are disturbing.
Lord Astor, who has made a special
study Of the liquor question since the
World War, when he served on Great
Britain's Liquor Control Board as a
neutral member, told DR.. Wilson that

suggested the same thought.
