England, Ark, Jan 6-(U. P) - The American Red Cross has begun filling England's empty larders, clothing It's shivering school children and administering to it's penniless sick, victims of last summers drought.
 Attention was drawn to their plight Saturday when an intended fcraging expedition of 300 needy per sons who started to march on this community, was forestalled by mer- chants who hastily honored Red Cross acquisitions for food.
 The Red Cross and other relief agencies announced sufficient funds least month. the suffering caused by the drought.
 Several planters and tenant farm CTS held that loans were required to meet the situation, rather than char ity.
 Checks by the United Press re- vealed families forced for weeks to subsist on small rations of beans and corn bread.
 The distress was greatest among those who had been farming as ten ants on a crop-sharilg basis with land owners. Failure of the crops left the tenants destitute and plant CTS urged that loans be made to them in order that they might give employment to the jobless share Croppers.
 one home visited was that of a tenant farmer. His automo obile, radio and everything else he and his fam fly of five had purchased on the in- stallment basis were back in the hands of merchants.
 The cupboard of that home was almost empty There was small piece of meat, a filled sack of beans and some corn meal. The farmer had not worked in weeks, but was not a member of the group that stormed England merchants Saturday.

FORMER GEAR OF BOSTON LIQUOR
 SQUAD ON TRIAL
After Seven Months Delay, Due to Several Causes, Oliver Garrett Faces His Fate

Boston. Jan G. (UP)-Nearl. seven months from the date it wa originally scheduled. the bribery extortion trial of Oliver B. Garrett former "cZar" of the now defunc Boston police headquarters liquor squad. was to open in Suffolk su' perior court here to-day.
 Going on trial with Garrett were his wife. Florence Redden Garrett and Miss Lillian V. Hatch, onetime checkroom clerk of the padlocked Ritz Hotel-the defendants facing seven indictments containing a total of 3O3 counts.
 The indictments charged the trio with extortion, threatening, and conspiracy to eXtort thousands of dollars from John r. Sullivan, el- derly invalid and former proprietor of the Ritz. He was the key wit ness of 61 witnesses scheduled to testify for the government. The number of defense witnesses was not known, but it was announced Garrett would take the stand in his own behalf and it was rumored that several high police officials would be called to his defense.
 The trial originally was set for last June following Attorney General Joseph F.. Warmers investigation which revealed that Garrett, with q policeman's salary of $2,1O q year. had banked at least $122, 900 during the few years he was leader of the headquarters liquor unit
 At that time, however. Garrett defaulted and remained at large more than five months while an in ternational search for him was car ried on in vain. He surrendered recently.
 As result of the long delay, Judge David F. Dillon of Palmer. original ly assigned to the case. will not pre- side. In his place will be Judge Patrick M. keating.
 Attorney Herbert r. Callahan who has served as Garretts counsel ever since charges were first preferred against the ex-raider. will be assist ed with the defense by former Unit ed States Attorney Daniel J. Gal lagher.
 Assistant District Attorney Fred crick r Doyle will prosecute the case, aided by Assistant District At torney Daniel J. Gillen.
 It was expected about two hours would be required to read the vol luminous indictments, first step Tn the trial.
 Selection of q jury promised to proye a rather tedious task because of the intense interest aroused by the case. Defense and prosecution each was to have IS peremptory challenges.
 Garrett was to sit in the prisoner, $ care during the trial, while his wife and Miss Hatch, both out on ball, were to be permitted to occupy seats outside the barred enclosure.
 Two additional indictments re- turned against Garrett and charging fraud in connection with a pension he received from the city will not be considered at this trial but will be taken up at n later date.

Onslaught on the Power Commission By Demo- cratic=PrOgressives Was Continued Despite Ef= forts of Republicans to Prevent It

Washington, Jan 6--(UP)-Legis- lation to curb speculative grain deal ing and to strengthen the enforce ment provisions of the grain fu- lures act was introduced in the senate and the house to-day by Sem ator Capper. republican. Kansas, and Representative Dickinson, re- publican. Iowa.
 Capper said one change contem- plated was "aimed at vicious short selling" It would limit to 2,000,- 900 bushels the quantity of grain futures any individual or firm could trade in for purely speculative pur- poses in one day.
 "Such a limitation" Capper said "does not apply to hedging trans actions but does apply to spreading operations"
 The amendment would forbid any broker to act in behalf of a foreign government in the purchase or sale of grain without consent of the sec retary of agriculture, accompanied by full publicity. The provision was designed to prevent recur- renee of the incident of last sum mer, when it was disclosed Soviet Russia had sold wheat short in the Chicago market.
 Further action on the drought re- lief bill, to which the senate added $15,000,000 for food loans, was blocked temporarily in the house by Representative LaGuardia. repn. N. Y., who prevented the bill from going to conference for considera- ton of senate amendments, when he failed in his demand to get a vote on a provision which would permit food loans to city people as well as farmers.
 A republican effort to stop the dcmocratic-progress attack on the federal power commission by ques- tioning the legal right of the sen ate to demand further consideration failed to-day even to interrupt the onslaught.

CALL BONDS TN SIX CRIMINAL TERM CASES
DECISION IN
 COMMON PLEAS Richard Shearfield Found Not Guilty of Theft
 Charge FINED IN CITY COURT

Richard Shearfield, known in box iEg circles as Kid Hershey" won a popular decision in the common pleas court this morning when he was granted a nolle on charges of theft. His was one of 48 cases on the docket at the opening session of January criminal term of the com pleas court.
 The Kid" was arrested several weeks ago on charges of having stol- en watch from a North Main street jewellers shop. He was counted out in city court when a fine of $100 and costs and sentence of 60 days in jail was lodged against him after he was found guilty of the charges.
 Testimony leading to the "Kid's' taking it on the chin, was furnished by the jeweler who told the follow ing story. A young Negro came into the jewelry shop and asked to look at some watches as the prospective purchaser intended to buy knife and chain and watch. After selecting watch to his liking, the customer stuck it in his pocket and ran out the door The jeweler claimed he saw the customer a few weeks later and the latter denied ever having been in the store.
 Several prospects were picked up by police and lined up for identifica- tion. The jeweler selected the Kid" as the customer. The Kid" vehem- cntly denied the charges but after sparring around in city court with the help of his 'second" Attorney Ralph c. Coppetto, the boxer came out second best. His manager-Attor- ney asked for rematch and the case was appealed to the common pleas court. Prosecuting Attorney William J. Larkin. Jr, informed the presiding Judge Harry J. Beardsley this morning that the jeweler picked out the accused from q group of other young Negroes and the selec- ticn appeared as rather f1imsy evil dence to convict a man. He then re- commended the nolle which was granted.
