Be 'rds stabilization wheat will be sold

policy OF disposing OF its huge surplus
stocks in manner that will impose the

The board last February set IS, 600, 900

mails at seaboard ports. At least u.s.
000.000 bushels have been sold.
Stone said as much more as can be dis

Denies Making Promise.
As for sales on the domestic market,
he said the policy of careful handling
was still in effect, and denied he had
promised Kansas grain men q state
ment on whether the board would with
hold more than, 100000, 900 bushels of
stabilization wheat from American mar
kets for year.
He said he had agreed to submit pro-
posals that the surplus be held Of the
terminals for a year to the full board

ment would be forthcoming.
He intimated, however, there was
little likelihood the policy would be
altered.
The board had hoped the $4,000. 900
bushels of wheat would be sold by July
/. A fairly good foreign demand has
been reported by the Agriculture De-
partrnent. Wheat stocks in some Euro
pean countries have been reported url-
usually low. Russia, however, has sur
passed its sowings of 1880, when it be-
came the worlds largest grower.
Stone said the effect on the market
can be told only after the sale. He
took cognizance of the drought in the
Northwest and Canada, and said re-
ports coming to him described a serious
situation.
With considerable destruction already

the effect on wheat prices would be
bullish.

u. s. JUDGES REPLY
|. TO JURY'S ATTACK
Assert Grand Jurors Had No
Right to Criticize Handling
of Dry Cases.
ny the Associated Press.


NEWARK, N. j., June 16.-Three New
Jersey Federal judges. sitting together,
today rerrimanded a Federal grand jury
which last week returned presentment
criticizing their handling of prohibition
cases. They ordered the presentment
struck from the records.
The judges, Guy L. Fake, William A.
Clark and John Boyd Avis, told the
jurors they had "transscended' their
authority and declared the presentment
was "illogically conceived" and sub
versive of law and order"
Sees Two Sides to Issue.
Judge Fake, who read the opinion,
said that in prohibition enforcement
"the court finds itself in a position
peculiar to that subject, q position
where 1t is called upon to mete out
justice in cases where the parties on
each side of the issue are representa-
tive Of groups which are equally con-
vinced that the group on the other side
is lawless."
He added that on one side are those
who are intolerant of the national
prohibition law and who would break
down all other laws to violate it. On
the other hand, we feel the pressure
Of those who are intolerant of all other
laws to enforce it."
He said "tf searches and seizures
are made in violation of ones constitu-
tional rights as safeguarded under the
fourth amendment, it becomes the duty
of this court, however unpopular such
action may be, to suppress such evi-
dence and thereby keep it away from
the grand jury"
Pennington Testifles.
John D. Pennington, prohibition
administrator for this district, spent
five hours before the grand jury on the
day before the presentment. He is be-
lieved to have said that his work was
blocked by injunctions issued by the
judges.
At one point in the opinion Judge
Fake said:
obviously, then, so long as the
fourth amendment. as 1t Is now in
terpreted by the highest tribunals in
the land. stands as bulwark against
tyranny, Just so long will the unreason-
ing zealot complain that the courts in
terfere with the quick and eff1cient
enforcement of national prohibition. !"

CANTON TO FIGHT
NATIONALIST LOAN
Shanghai Bankers Warned
on $s0,OO0,0OO Sought
on Customs Surplus.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HONGKONG, June To- Having
heard that the Nationalist government
was raising An $50 00o, 900 loan on the
security Of the 1882 customs surplus,
the new Canton government today
warned Shanghai bankers 1t would not
recognize such loan.
Meanwhile the polite military pot
was kept simmering with reports that
Gen. Chen Ming -Shu, Nationalist gov
ernor Of Kwangtung Province until the
recent Southern uprising, had offered
terms for joining the southerners, but
that his demands were such as to
preclude acceptance by Canton. Hence
the terms were believed here to indicate
his loyalty to the Nationalist.
Gen. Chen reputedly demanded the
establishment Of his five peace
preservation corps" regiment, which re-
Gently were disarmed, and the restora-
ton Of all Canton posts previously held
by him and his followers. These posts
now are held by the satellites Of Koo
Ying-Fan.
Report COntradicted.
Gen. Chen's position in the present
speculation since he returned from
Japan q few weeks ago. Upon resuna-
ing his command Of two regiments and
entering Kiangsi Province oStensibly
to fight Reds, 1t was announced that
he would remain neutral upon receiving
payments from both the Canton and
Nanking governments and would devote
his time to fighting bandits and Com
munistS.
Last week it was announced Chen
would remain loyal to the Nationalist
cause. Shortly thereafter he allegedly
notified Southern leaders he was ad-
vancing upon Canton with his army.
Yesterday he asserted his mission was
to fight Reds. thus contradicting the
report he would move against the new
Southern government
Canton Delays Operations.
Canton military leaders decided TO
wait until they are attacked to begin
military operations. The population
was nervous, fearing that when Chang
Kai-Shek, Nationalist President and
general, advances Southward through
kiangsi Province with his army repu-
tedly composed of 200,0 900 men, he will
drive hordes Of Communists from
Kiangsi into Kwangtune, Of which
Canton is the capital.
Chang never has mentioned the
Canton Insurgents as the object Of his
present military campaign. He has
vowed to drive the bandits and reds
from Human and Kiangsi Provinces,
