LEGGE NFAVORO
{. YEAR EMBARGO
ON FARM PRODUCTS
Declares Bill Presented by Burt
ness, North Dakota, Along
Right Lines

Washington, Jan. 16.-R1-Chair-
man Legge Friday Endorsed the Burt
ness bill for q tWo-year embargo on
wheat, feed grains, and butter.
In q letter to Representative Burt
ness, of North Dakota, Legge said the
bill us along the right lines as az
fording perhaps the quickest method
Of dealing with the situation"
However" the farm board head
continued. ut Is immaterial to us how
this result Is arrived at but present
conditions certainly justify action on
TIC part Of congress to meet the
present emergency.
"Just how this relief is to be at
forded is perhaps not material. Some
time ago in writing Senator Capper,
I suggested that unless there was an
improvement In world conditions he
would ask for q temporary embargo
on wheat imports: however, just as
strong an argument could be made on
other grains, including beans.
Some Of these commodities are
coming into the country on q basis
that seems as though the price OBJ
tanned for them would hardly pay the
cost Of transportation Of the areas In
which they are produced.
$50 far there has been no improve
ment In world prices. Many students
Of the situation seem to think that
there is q probability that they will
go still lower. I therefore hope that
before the present congress adjourns
they will find it possible to pass such
legislation as win protect the Amer
lean producer during this period Of
Distress"

coroner's Jury Decides Quartet
Has Information About
Beulah Limerick Death

Washington. Jan. 16.-R-A po-
liceman and three other me were in
jail without bail Friday because q
coroner's jury determined they had
sufficient guilty knowledge" con-
corning the murder Of 19-year-old
Beulah Limerick to warrant grand
jury action.
Patrolman Robert r. Langdon was
one of those held. He had been
charged by the girls family with
threatening and importuning the girl.
He was on duty near her house on
the city's outskirts at the time she
probably was shot, and told authori-
ties he looked through the glass panel
Of her basement bedroom and saw
her sleeping only q few hours before
death, on the morning OF Dec. 81.
She had ben shot.
The others were her brother, Yer
non Limerick, who lived on the top
floor of the house and found her dead
or dying sometime during the morn
ing; Richard Reed. q roomer who lit
q fire in her room before going to
work at daylight: and William E.
Paddy. her escort at q dance on her
last night.
Since Langdon's detention, officers
found alleged equipment for distilling
in his home together with barrels
they said contained rye mash and q
dozen %revolvers and pistols. No ac-
ton has come on that score, pending
determination whether the search OF
the premises was legal.

Washington, Jan. 16.-[F-The
senate Friday approved another $780,
600 for expenses Of the Nye campaign

There was no debate, although
Senator Moses Of New Hampshire had
indicated previously he would oppose
It's immediate consideration.
Chairman Nye at once arranged to
hcldpa hearing later In the day Of .
score Of witnesses for Senator Davis,
Republican, Pennsylvania. whose
scat Nye would declare vacant on
grounds Of excessive expenditures In

former labor secretary.
These witnesses had appeared VOL

night because Of the lack of funds.
Life Extended Year
The Nye resolution asking more
money also extends the life Of the
committee and extends for q year the
time In which 1t must file q final re-

Senator Davis, who has employed

with less earnestness and more hu-
NOR. One suspects that they are
making fun Of some one or some

loLsTEAD HASN'T CHANGED

Washington, Jan. 16.-F)-Marking
the eleventh anniversary Of national
prohibition, one Of the authors Of the
amendment told the SEN
ate Friday the dry clause would stay
in the constitution forever.
He was Senator Sheppard, Demo-
crat, Texas. making the first senate
speech on the liquor question this ses-
sion, with q fighting defense Of pro-
hibition.
Denying 1t had caused an increase
in crime or Of drinking among young
people, Sheppard told his colleagues
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
would "let loose upon your country
evils which will mean the arrest Of
its progress, the wreck Of its glory.
the pollution Of its name and fame"
Scores Short Memories
"Those who clamor for the restora-
ton Of legalized liquor have short
memories or no knowledge Of the law
lessness and corruption for which
legalized liquor Stood" Sheppard
said.
1.-THE fight against beverage alcohol
reached an intensive status" he said,
when increased population, in
creased chances for gain made pos
Sible by the machine age united to
bring about the manufacture Of in
toxicants to an extent that threatened
the permanent corruption and con-
troll Of government, the general I'M
pafrmeat a health and morals and
efficiency"
Pointing to what he called hopeless
division among the vets, Sheppard
said, some Of them advocate the
complete entry Of the federal govern
ment into the liquor business, others
suggest each state be authorized to
engage In the liquor business II 1t
should so desire and still others would
leave the situation as 1t was before
the eighteenth amendment was
adopted"
Government control has demon
strated elsewhere, he said, that it in
the consumption Of liquor and
results in "unspeakable political cor
ruption and degradation Of the gov
eminent"
1.-THE principal foundation on which
prohibition rests today Sheppard
continued, lis the voluntary obedience
Of the great mass Of the American
people.
Lawless In Minority
1.-THE comparative handful Of pro-
hibition enforcement officials. about
100, -. scattered among $4,000, 900
American people would be over
whelmed but for the fact that they
must cope with but q comparatively
small and lawleSs minority.
ITO call this enforcement group
and army threatening the home. men,
acing privacy, and imperiling the
liberty Of the American people Is an
other wringing- wet absurdity."
Senators opposed to prohibition
made no reply to Sheppard.
Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama.
characterized it as "the greatest pro-
.hibition speech I have ever listened
to-"
mo man in public life has done as
much for prohibition as Senator
Sheppard" Helm said.
