MOTOR TRUCKING
farm PRODUCTS
Surveys Show Many Farm
ers Are Now Selling
Direct to Truckmen.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The constantly increasing use of the
motor truck in transportation of farm
products and its far-reaching effect
upon the farm marketing system are
engaging the attention of the bureau
of agricultural economics, United
States Department of Agriculture.
which is making an extensive study
Of the motor truck in its relations to
marketing.
The bureaus survey consists of de-
termining the importance of truck re-
ceipts of the fruit and vegetable sup
ply in some of the leading market cen.
tiers of the country; and in ascertain
ing the volume of truck movement as
compared with movements by rail and
boat from representative producing
areas. 1t will determine also the sit
uation with regard to the re-distribu-
ton of produce from the large market
centers to smaller communities In
their trade areas.
Now Sell to Truckmen.
Preliminary surveys by the bureau
show that many farmers who former
ly hauled or shipped produce to mar
ket centers now sell direct to the So
called truckmen- merchants. These itin-
Grant merchants buy supplies on spec
ulation and may haul to- one of half
dozen or more consuming markets
within a radius of 200 to 300 miles;
or they may peddle their loads in
small towns or rural districts. Truck
man-merchants in many instances
make it possible for producers to sell
products of grade and condition
which it would be impractical to ship
by rail.
Produce handlers in market centers
complain that the marketing OF these
supplies has depressing erect on
prices of shipped-in produce. since it
frequently results in an oversupply at
the market.
Business Increasing.
The motor truck has extended the
local supply area Of market beyond
the distance formerly within wagon
haul and many specialized crops are
now being hauled by truck from pro-
ducing areas for distances up to GOO
miles. The truck eliminates much OF
the handling and re-hauling of the pro-
duce on farms and in markets. The
business has increased tremendously
in recent years, and furnishes an in
creasing proportion Of the market
sunplies. The bureau is compiling the
daily motor truck receipts at several
markets, and it is hoped that the pres
ent survey will indicate methods of de-
yeloping more complete market news
reports on this phase Of the produce
business.

DOUBLE KIDNAPPING
 STILL UNS0LVED
Seattle Police Fail in Efforts to
 Trap Man Asking $500

Seattle, Sept. 86 R-A police search was under way here today for two missing children and a man who demanded $500 for the return of one of them.
 Frank Nolan, $, son of Frank Nolan, ST, a clerk, and Sheila Daley, 6, disappeared while playing together Wednesday. Last night the elder Nolan received a telephone message asking him to bring $500 in bills to a designated place and not to notify the police. The mes- sage promised return of his son.
 With the aid of friends Nolan collected s453 in small bills, noti- fled police and drove to the rendez- vous, followed by detectives. A boy or a bicycle met Nolan and took a package containing the bills, only to be seized by the police. The youth said he had been asked to drop the package at a given point several blocks distant.
 Detectives posted themselves at the second location only to meet another group of officers, accom- panied by two boys. These two youths said a strange man had ask ed them to demand money from Nolan and that they had become suspicious and notified the police.

It is said Attorney McDonough was in yolved in a dispute in the house, but the report written on the police blotter was to the effect that "a young couple" was concerned and police action was not necessary.
 Sheriff Kelleher also went to the Rurritt hotel and learned that At torney McDonQugh was not regis tered there on the night in question, and under oath today the attorney admitted that he lied when he told Judge Simpson he had been there. He also admitted that when he said he had consulted a physician he was not telling the truth, but that he actually was i'll he claimed as fact.
 'sToo Many False Statements
 States Attorney Alcorn cross-ex- amined Attorney McDonough in court today and in a statement to the court declared that there are altogether too many false statements being made by witnesses and law yers" Attorney McDonough asked that he be permitted to- defend himself in chambers as there were some features of the situation which he thought should not be aired in open court. States Attorney Alcorn replied that those matters would not help the attorney in any way.
 Attorney McDonough has been .practicing law in this city since January, 1923, and appeared in many criminal cases in police court and superior court. He has been in politics and was democratic candi- date for state senator two years ago, being defeated by Senator Ernest w. Christ, republican. He registered with the republican party when he became voter but later went over to the democratic party. He was particularly active in the presidential campaign two years ago, appearing in many cities in Connecticut and attending a number of democratic rallies in Massachusetts in the in terests of the Al Smith ticket.

 Saloon Only Real Good
 The good in national prohibition lies in its outlawing of the saloon and the saloon system, and in its grant to congress of power to coop crate internally within states that maintain a prohibition system and to protect such states from impor- tation of liquor from without. On the other hand. the evil in national prohibition lies largely in the com pulsion sought to be placed upon states which do not desire the pro- hibition system. We favor the restor- ation to each state the authority to deal with the liquor problem in ac- cordance with tthe wishes of it's cit izens.
 ITO this end we favor the repeal of the 18th amendment, providing that simultaneously and as part of the. new amendment a provision is adopted outlawing and forbidding everywhere in the United States the saloon system and it's equivalent, the private traffic in intoxicating bever- ages for private profit, and, further, guaranteeing federal cooperation and assistance to state which have prohibition in whole or in part.

 escaped from the Fitchburg jail
 by saving their way through the
 bars of a window. The prisoners
 were Joseph Walker, 31. who had
 two years to serve for violation of parole; Donald Moran, 21, who had twice escaped from the Bridgewater jail before his trans fer here; and Harry Mowatt, 27, who was serving three years for filling station robbery. The trio fingered after mess last night and sawed their way through basement window. They made their escape before a check up revealed them missing half hour after the inmates had left the mess hall. Officers fol- lowed their trail to nearby woods, where they lost track of the pris- oners.

 Former Senator James w. Wads- worth led off for the advocates of repeal, and Representative Fiorello H. La Guardia, W. Kingsland Macy of Long Island and others followed. The dry side was presented by pr. S. M. Nicholson and Fred J. Victor of the Anti-Saloon League, Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin of the w. c. T. U. Canon William Sheafe Chase of the New York Civic League and several more.
 The purpose of the open hearing was less to influence the committee than to set the stage for tomor- rows fight from the floor and to give the drys opportunity to present their cause publicly.
 Members of Committee
 The 12 members of the platform committee who constitute the fight ing minority" and voted against the repeal plank included Representa-. tive James s. Parker 33d senatorial district; Representative Fred M Davenport, 36th district; w. Donald Hyde, 35th district; Walter s. Pratt 34th district; Francis I. Culkins 37th district: Clayton R.

 The platform committee, regard ed as having the hardest task in the convention, finished it's labors before a group of leaders formulat- ing the state ticketA This group re- convened this morning after a long night session to agree upon a noni- nee for lieutenant governor. Daniel H. Conway, mayor of Os- wego. was virtually agreed upon as nominee for comptroller, and Isa- dore, Bookstein. Albany democratic chairman and former county judge, as the party's selection for attorney general. Hamilton Ward. incumbent attorney general. was not a candi- date for renomination, but the Erie county delegation was still main taining headquarters for him as candidate for the gubernatorial nomination.
 Two Men Mentioned Senators Caleb H. Baumes of Newburgh and Seabury C. Mastick of Pleasantville. Westchester county, both mentioned as nominees for lieutenant governor, were reluctant prospects and no candidate for that post had been determined upon as the leaders went into an 11th hour session today.
 The 991 delegates to the conven- ton were summoned to meet at 10 o'clock (est) to hear the address of Speaker Joseph A. McGinnies of the state assembly as permanent chair man. after which the final and ma jor business of the convention was on the calendar-adoption of the platform and nomination of a state ticket.
 The impending fight from the floor on the repeal plank in ethe platform was made possible by the convention committee on rules and resolutions, which provided that if there was a minority report on any plank, an hour would be allotted to each side for debate in the conven- ton before a vote of the delegates was taken.
 Opposition to the declaration for repeal came from two sources: The party leaders eager to avoid vari- ance between state and national re- publican prohibition blanks, and the organized reform groups.
 The party leaders anticipated no defections If the fight to avoid d wet pronouncement was lost.
 Plan Independent Choice
 The Anti-Saloon League, the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the New York Civic League, however, agreed to unite in support of an independent dry can- didate for governor if the wet plank was adopted
 An open hearing on the platform committee last night on the prohi- bition declaration developed into an old-fashioned temperance debate. full of spirit and color and marked frequently by mingled misses and applause.
