CORN SUGAR RULE
REVOKED BY HYDE
Regulation 20 Years Old for
Canned Goods Labels Held
Discriminatory.
BY the Associated Press.


Secretary Hyde yesterday acted to
stimulate consumption of corn sugar
by canceling a requirement that its
presence in canned foods be declared
upon the label.
The Agriculture Department head
said this removed "a discrimination
against the use of corn sugar which
has too long been permitted" He pre-
dicted it would expand the corn sugar
industry without affecting the domestic
cane and beet sugar producers.
He pointed out the restriction had
been a matter of administrative reg
ulation and not law, asserted it did
not change the food and drug control
and would not alter rules regarding
labelling injurious ingredients in food.
The reason for the ruling, adopted
% years ago. said Hyde, has disap-
peared, for at that time corn sugar
was "a muddy, brown product less
than so per cent sweet" while now
it Is IS per cent sweet and has valuable
properties not found in cane sugar.
There exists potential market for
corn through corn sugar" he said,
"variously estimated at 100000 to
100, 000,0 900 bushels per annum. The
smaller figure represents about 2 per
cent of the cash corn reaching primary
markets. The larger figure represents
about IS per cent"

RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
SECRETARY TO RETIRE
Sir Francis ]. Wylie, Known at
Oxford as "Uncle Frank" Will
Quit at End of Term.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
OXFORD, England. December 81
Uncle Frank" known to Rhodes schol-
ars throughout the world as unfailing
guide, philosopher and friend, is to
retire.
Since 1908, when the oxford Colleges
opened their doors to streams of stu
dents from all parts of the British do
minions, the United States and Ger
many, Sir Francis j. Wylie has been
secretary to the Rhodes Trust.
His retirement, at the end of the aca-
demic year, will remove the last line
connecting the day of the establishment
of the scholarships with the present.
Viewed at first as a doubtful expert
ment, the scholarships during Sir
Francis administration have become a
fixture at the university.
The high esteem in which he is held
was strikingly shown last year, when a
painting of Lady Wylie, the daughter
of an American, was presented to him by
old scholars and he was knighted by
the King.
He will be succeeded by Carleton
Kemp Allen, professor of jurisprudence
at oxford.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 27.-Gard-
ner Yerkes will rest in pauper's grave
unless some one takes advantage of
the funeral bargain he drove before he
took his life.
AS long ago as last June, Yerkes, a
retired chemist, called on Undertaken
Jerie j. Cronin in Brooklyn and asked
for his lowest price on a cremation.
Marking his visitors frailneSs and
wannesS, Cronin set his lowest figure.
The other night police found his
body In a vacant apartment with a
bottle of poison lying nearby. The
undertaker's card was there, too, and
a note asking that Yerkes be cremated
and his ashes scattered afar.
When Yerkes' wife, Mrs. Helen Balm
bridge Yerkes, and his son cambridge
were notified in Seattle, Wash, the son
wired that his fathers sister should be
consulted on funeral arrangements.
The sister, Mrs. Harriet Mckenzie Of

RAILROAD OPERATION
RUMORS ARE DENIED
New Receiver of Seaboard Air Line
Says Pennsylvania Will Not
Take Over Carrier.
BY the Associated Press.


NORFOLK, Va, December 27.-Eth-
ebert w. Smith, vice president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in charge OF
operations in the central region, yester-
day denied rumors current here that the
Pennsylvania would take over the sea-
board Air Line Railway. Mr.. Smith
today qualified in Federal Court here
as co-receiver in equity with Leigh r.
Powell, jr., president of the Seaboard
for the Seaboard Railway.
Mr.. Smith said there was no reason to
anticipate the Pennsylvania would use
the Seaboard as connection. He spoke
of the friendly relationship OF the
Pennsylvania with other Southern rail-
as a receiver principally because the
Pennroad Corporation owns large per-
centage of common stock Of the Sea-
board.

FREE SPEECH ISSUE
UP FOR DISCUSSION
University Men, in Farley,
Develop Controversy Over
Academic Freedom"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, December 27.-A fight
over free speech on the part Of univer-
sity instructors was in the offing as the
annual convention of the Association of
University Professors opened today.
THE possibility of dispute lay in the
plan of Prof. L. I. Thurstone of the
University of Chicago, who would black
list colleges and universities which dis
charge professors because their express
sions in or out of class rooms do not
meet the approval of trustees.
Prof. Paul kaufman of the New At
lantic University, Virginia Beach, Va,
predicted the controversy would flare
with the report of the Committee on
Academic Freedom and Tenure. Some
of the committee members, however,
were attempting to keep the matter
from the floor.
Advocates of the plan said it would
provide the association with big stick
to battle for freedom Of speech, mas
much as the organization numbers TO-
900 instructors who would not be avail
able to offending schools. It's opponents
contend that it could not be enforced
and would make the association pro
fessors' union"

Discussing at length what he termed
the 'impracticability" of organizing a
third party as long as the electoral COL
lege system continues, Norris said the
special interests" seek to control the
Republican as well as the Democratic
party.
He said it was expected President
Hoover would be renominated.
Norris said he regarded Dewey as
lone Of the leading thinkers of the
country"
There is no doubt" he added, "his
letter was written in the very best of
faith and without any selfish motive.
Nevertheless. I feel that In a practical
sense at least the suggestions which he
has made cannot be followed by the
Progressives in and out of the Senate

MYSTERIOUS DEATH LAID
TO DISEASE OF HEART
Widow, 80, Found Dead Christmas
Day With Body Bearing
Bruises and Cuts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
POTSDAM, N. Y, December a.
The death Of Mrs. Margaret Reynolds,
82-year-old widow, whose bruised and
cut body was found Christmas day in
the home at North Lawrence, where
she lived with an aged sister, was
cleared up last night by the report of
the coroner that death was due to heart
disease. The report did not say how
she had suffered the bruises and cuts.
The sister, Miss Rose Ann O'Donnell,
80, was unable to explain her sisters
death, which was discovered when a
nephew, Anthony O'Donnell, went to
the home to exchange holiday greet
ings. Miss O'Donnell told him she be-
lieved Mrs. Reynolds was dead, and he
found the body sprawled across a bed,
face bruised badly and many bruises on
the body.
Miss O'Donnell had a long cut on
her left forearm. She appeared in a
daze, due, the nephew explained, to
several paralytic strokes suffered re-

Death was said to have occurred

NORRIS SEEKS REFORM.
Would Change Electoral System Before
New Party Move.

Would Change Electoral System Before
New Party Move.
BY the Associated Press.
new election reform campaign
one he expected to extend beyond his
life span-was taken up by Senator
Norris Of Nebraska today even as he
turned his back upon third-party
movement and possible presidential
candidacy.
The veteran independent Republican
announced he would start with the next
Congress to agitate for abolition of the
electoral college. This would require
amending the Constitution. His objec-
tive, he said, was to make it possible
for an independent to run for President
without party organization.
He made his plan known in refusing
the suggestion Of DR.. John Dewey, head
Of the League for Independent Political
Action, that he leave Republican ranks
to lead a third-party movement. To
form one more faction under present
electoral provisions with any hope of
success, said Norris, would be futile.
Sees Long Struggle.
I'm not a candidate for President"
he told newspaper men last evening.
III not be a candidate for President
I'll probably be dead before this reform
can be brought about"
His utterance did not end third party
talk for 1882, however. Such names
as Borah of Idaho. and Pinctot OF
Pennsylvania continue to be mentioned
as presidential candidates for such a
movement.
Responding to a question, however
Norris said If the Democratic party
should nominate a real progressive In
1882, many of the Western Republican
independents would support him. just
as the NebraSkan voted in 1928 for
Alfred e. Smith. He did not commit
strongly he might repeat his bolt.
Holds Party Is Not Sacred.
Norris in the past few days has been
| denounced as 'demagogue," and his
| election from the Republican party has
been demanded.
1T do not believe that man who has
at heart the good Of the country" he
said, "can look upon a party as some

SUSPEND COUNCILS
AT MONTE CARLO
Prince Louis Takes Away
Constitutional Guarantees
in Gaming Center.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTE CARLO, December 27.-An
Monte Carlo was astir today at the
greatest coup OF its history, not a coup
of the gaming table but the coup d'etat
staged yesterday by Prince Louis, who
suspended both state and municipal
councils and took away guarantees pro-
vided In the constitution Of 1911.
Thus far the hubbub created by the
princes action has been principally
talk, but the principality's government
has every one Of its army of more
than 100 modified to meet . possible
emergency and put down any further
rioting such as that of last Monday
when Prince Louis returned here from
Paris.
French Troops May Act.
II the words of the opponents of
Prince Louis and his summary treat
ment of the acute political and eco
nomic situation should develop into
deeds within the next few, days there
is wide expectation that France will
move troops into the principality and
take over its administration, at least
temporarily.
one rumor today is that Prince Louis,
exasperated by the dissatisfaction with
his regime, will take six-month vaca-
ton, either leaving the principally to
stew in its own juice or asking France
to come to his aid.
He Is known to be firmly convinced
that the only remedy for Monaco's
ills Is for a bigger and better tourist
season with more wealthy American
and British spenders and that with
recurrent political disorder there is
little chance of this.
Councils Were PowerIess.
A combination of the worldwide
economic crisis, and intensified com.
petition of Nice, Cannes, Juan Les
Pins and other up-to-the- minute re-
sorts whose attractions make dim and
faded the splendorS of Monte Carlo
the casino season looms none too favor
ably. Without visitors Monaco would
starve and the prince feels that she
cannot afford the adverse publicity
which further disturbances would bring
The most imaginative humorist woulc
not biuld funnier embroglio than that
represented by the present situation
1t is widely known that the suspended
councils never had any real power anc
that some Of the members, tipped OF
about the suspension, quit before the
order appeared.
Odd Conflicts in Situation.
Other elements in the strange hodge
podge are the old conflict between Eu-
gene Marquet, former premier, hi.
councils, the company which runs the
casino and the real estate company
failure case in which both Marquet and
his brother are involved.
Then there is also Prince Pierre
divorced husband of the hereditary
Princess Charlotte and father Of the
heir apparent, little Prince Rainier. He
is watching the situation from Came,
ready to take hand If he feels 1t ad-
viSable.
The deposed Marquet is one Of the
most voluble of those protesting Prince
Louis action and he has announced
that he is ready to fight for Monaco'S
freedom, but his announcement has left
the country cold. What they want /:
plenty of free spenders to keep the
wolf from the door.
