WARM WEATHER STARTS FOREST FIRE
Death of Long,vorth Breaks Grip
 Of Presidents SsFoM Horsemen'
By FRANK I. WELLER Associated Press Farm Editor,


 WASHINGTON, D. C., April P The death of Speaker Nicholas lrongworth has removed the lead 'rship of the celebrated ''Foul iorserlcn" Lcngworth, Tilson jnell and Hawley-who rode dowr very farm issue that President Hoover disapproved and helpat pass the agricultural marketing act.
 Few more powerful groups ever dominated the house of represen- tatives. It combined the influence ,f Longworth as Speaker, Tilsor IS floor leader, Shell as chairman If the Rules Committee and Haw- ley as Chairman of the all-import- ant Ways and Means Committee
 Fight Makes History Under its tight rein the House majority three times sent back tc the Senate the export debenture flatly refusing to join that body on a measure it had passed by three record votes.
 The fight of the Four Horsemer for the agricultural marketing act made history on capitol hill.
 The atmosphere still tingled witt the second Coolidge veto of the equalization fee when they trot- ted out the nebulous form oi farm relief popularly ascribed tc William M Jardine, former Sec retary of Agriculture.
 SkillfuIly Maneuvered
 The President contributed his ideas and the plan took definite shape. From then until enactment the measure was so skillfully ma neuvered through the House that the voice of opposition scarcely rose above a whisper.
 Sc thorough was Longworth's organization that he was able to tell the Senate just what the House would do, and invariably the Senate settled back in it's tracks or was forced to a stand still
 That situation never was more apparent than in the special ses- sion of Congress when the Senate, ruled by Democrats and Insur- gents, lost its fight to hold tariff revision strictly within farm schedules
 With the starting gun Hawley opened the tariff bill to revision of duties on industrial products, and nothing stopped the procession until his bill, joined with Sena- tor Shoots, had run the length

JURY ACQU|TS !. 3 MEN CHARGED WITH SHAVING
Verdict Returned in De- troit After Delibera-
 ton of B Hours
CLIMAX COMES IN
 RADIO MANS DEATH
Three Other Men and One Woman, Indicted, Are
 Still at Large

DETROIT, Mich, April 22.-Cli- making several months of investi- gation, jury has acquitted Ted Pizzino, Angelo Levicchi and Joe Bommarito of the murder of Jerry Buckley, Detroit radio political commentator, last July 23.
 The others indicted for the mur- der, three men and one woman, are still at large.
 The jury deliberated B hours.
 Recall Aftermath
 Buckley was slain shortly after announcing the recall of Mayor Charles Bowles who he had at tackled in his broadcasts.
 The trial revealed what had been told to special grand jury by 100 or more witnesses.
 The special grand jury worked in secrecy for five months, gather ing ammunition for the states court battle.
 Gang Connections
 The three defendants are all said by police to have had gang connections.
 Levicchi had been in custody since the day after the killing; Pizzino was arrested in New York short time later, and brought back only after a fight in courts of the state. Bommartio was taken here few months ago.
 The assassination last summer climaxed weeks of city-wide ex- citement in which crime and poli- tics figured.
 Quick Death A dozen or so men had been shot down gangster fashion before Buckley was killed, and his death came just two hours after he had announced over station WMBS that the voters of Detroit in a special election had recalled Mayor Charles Bowles Buckley himself had been an outspoken opponent of Bowles.
 Buckley, a young lawyer, had won a considerable radio follow ing through campaigns for unem- ployment relief and charges of un- derworld collision on the part of some officials.
 The extent of this following was revealed when 100000 pc on s crowded in and about the ceme- tery when he was buried Buck ley was shot three times in the back as he sat in hotel lobby.

carefully kept off the rocks and It was passed with scarcely 24 hours remaining.
 Longworth is credited with the successful guidance of the bill al- lowing any joint stock land bank which absorbs another to operate in a total of five states, a thing farm organizations desired as a means to wider agricultural cred its.
 At the close of Congress farm groups saw in Longworth the de- velopment of a staunch friend. In an informal discussion with L. J. Taber, master of the National Grange, he expressed a desire on the last day of the session to go further into the study of the ex- port debenture.
