SAN DIEGO, Calf, April "a. AN
equipped plane. in which Capt.
A. w. Stevens of the Army Air Corps
will attempt to photograph the moons
3,000-foot shadow as 1t sweeps across
the Sierras next Monday during the
solar eclipse, was being groomed at
Rockwell Field here today.
The plane will be taken to Honey
Lake, California, where the attempt to
photograph the shadow will take place.
Lieut.. John D. Corkillo, who, like
Capt. Stevens is from Wright Field,
Dayton. Ohio, will pilot the plane. They
will be accompanied by q civilian scien-
list from the Bell Telephone Co. s
laboratory.
The moons shadow, moving at a
speed of 1900 miles per. hour, will be
only 5000 feet in diameter, and the
period of totality will be but q second
and q half. The path of totality starts
about 500 miles out at sea and sweeps
eastward Just north Of San Francisco.
Totally will occur at approximately
IL am. Pacific standard time. The
plane will be obliged to make turn of
100 degrees in 20 seconds, Capt. Stevens
declares, in order to successfully carry
out its work.
While the photographer is at work
at an altitude Of 10000 feet other pho
tographers on the ground will attempt

MOORE ACQUITTED
IN M0NCURE DEATH
Florida Judge Holds D. c.
Agent Tried Raid With
Worthless Warrant.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, April
24.-George w. Moore was acquitted by
q Criminal Court jury here yesterday
on charge Of second degree murder in
connection with the staying Of Robert
X. Moncure, Federal prohibition agent
of Washington, during an attempted
raid on Moore's home January IS. The
Jury deliberated as minutes.
Moore faces a similar charge in con-
nection with the killing of Franklin r.
Patterson, another prohibition agent,
who also was shot to death during the
attempted raid.
Of1cials said some doubt existed as to
whether Moore would be tried for the
killing of Patterson, on which charge
Moore is under $4,000 bond.
Loud applause followed announcement
Of the verdict.
Judge Hartridge. in his charge to the
jury, declared that through admissions
OF the State the prohibition agents were
after sunset. The court held that the
warrant was worthless at the time 1t
was used and that the agents placed
themselves in the position Of trespassers
when they came upon Moore's property
at the time Of the attempted raid.
The question, Judge Hartridge said,
therefore was just how far Moore was
lustlneo In going in order to protect
his home.

HYDE SEES DIETING
TROUBLING FARMER
Influencing Of People by Experts
on Eating Cause Of Surplus,
He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freShs
CHICAGO, April 24.-Arthur M.
Hyde, Secretary Of Agriculture, sug-
gested to the Chicago Commercial Club
last night that widespread dieting is in
part responsible for the troubles of the
farmers.
"If there were no diet experts infiu-
encing the people in what they should
eat there would be no farm products
surplus" said Secretary Hyde.
The Secretary declared the economic
tendencies Of the country are against
the farmer. The introduction of the au-
tomobile and the. tractor on the farm
has thrown into disuse all the horses
that were formerly used. and this, In
turn, threw into the market all the pro-
ductiorl of those acres that were for
merly used to feed live stock, he said,
continuing:
1.-THE secret of the farmers position
lies In the increased output and the de-
creased market, each in itself causing
the farmer to suffer. but in conjunc-
ton making the situation unbearable.
In plain language, the farmer has lost
his shirt, but doesn't know where or
how"
Secretary Hyde declared the remedy
is is in the control of production.

Gandhi Publishes Views.
In view of the attack of Mohamed
Ali, Muslin leader, last night on Gandhi
and his campaign for Indian indepen-
dence, the Mahatma's explanation of
his own attitude toward swaraj Onde-
pendence), published in today,s issue Of
Young India, is interesting.
Gandhi declares in the article that
the campaign is not designed to eStah-
lish independence, but to "arm the peo-
pile" so that they may secure swaraj.
but that when swaraj in achieved, the
Muslims and other minorities must be
placated, or civil war will follow.
1.-THE only non-violent solution for
the communal question that I know"
he says, sis for the Hindus to let the
minority communities take what they
want. I would not hesitate to let the
minorities govern the country. No risk
attends this solution"
