BENEFIT
AS BOWIE OPENS
Eastern Racing Season Be-
gins at Maryland Track, Pro-
ceeds Going to Unemployed.
' stan Correspondent Of The star.

By stan Correspondent Of The Star.
BOWIE, Md, March 30-The sound
Of the bugls at Bowie this afternoon
launches the Eastern racing season,
and the drum Of hoofbeats again will
be heard at more than half dozen
tracks along the seaboard until
Thanksgiving day.
The Prince Georges plant is opening
day earlier than originally planned,
the card being run of for charity, In
this instance, the Maryland unemploy-
ment fund.
The State is waving its daily tax
OF $4,000, the take" in the pari-
mutuels has been raised from to 8
per cent, and every other source Of
revenue is being diverted to the aid Of
the idle. Each of the other three major
tracks in Maryland-Havre de Grace,
Pimlico and Laurel-likewise win have
their charity days. That at Laurel,
which has no Spring racing, win be
held this Fall.
The Opportunity, a T-furlong dash
for 3-year-olds and upward, Is the fea
'ture Of today's program and has at
tracted half dozen entries. Six
claiming races make up the rest Of
the card.
Tomorrow, the regular opening day,
win be marked by the running Of the
Bowie Inaugural, $1,000 stake.
The opening at Bowie is always
watched by horsemen all over the coun-
try, for here are shown under colorS
for the first time many crack 2-year-
olds from the leading stables of the
country, which later go on to fame and
fortune in the turf world.
Equipoise, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whit
ney's crack 3-year-old which is favored
both for the PreakneSs and Kentucky
Derby this year, made his bow at Bowie
last Spring, winning his first start.
Equipoise will do his first racing this
year at Havre de Grace.
Another item that will be watched
closely at Bowie will be the size of the
mutuel play, as the money handled here
may furnish a fairly good indication Of
what the rest of the tracks can eX-
pect Last Fall the business depression
brought marked falling of.
Heavy attendance was in prospect at
post time for the first race, at $3.50, with
the bulk of the contingent coming, as
usual, from Washington and Baltimore.

WHITE HOUSE BACKS
FARM BOARD STAND
President Feels Body Is Able
to Define Own Policies.
Chairman Back at Desk.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover feels the Farm
Board is amply able to define and de-
fend its own policies and position.
The boards decision to discontinue
sterilization of wheat prices was one of
the first matters brought to the Presi-
dents attention upon his return from
his Caribbean trip.
It was said at the White House that
the Farm Board makes its own policies
just as the Shipping Board and the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
board, it was said, was given full power
and responsibility by Congress.
1t has been the view of many high
officials that the sterilization work in
augurated more than a year ago by the
Farm Board had in view the saving of
a great many banks in the wheat belt
which would have failed if wheat prices
continued to decline as rapidly as they
had started.
Many of these banks held loans Sc
cured by wheat at prices ranging around
those set by the Farm Board for buying
the surplus These banhs now have
been able to clear these loans and re-
adjust themselves to prices on the
world wheat market.
Chairman Stone Of the Farm Board,
COuI1I1B bdCh W AAAo OCoh dAbCA q VI AZ
into Kansas and Oklahoma, said grain
co-operatives generally had expressed
approval of the boards decision not to
stabilize 1881 wheat.
The chairman said they agreed the
announcement had been made at the
proper time to insure gradual readjust-
ment among wheat growers who have
indicated they will harvest per cent
less acreage this year.
He interpreted farmers intentions to
make smaller paintings as a sign of
success of the boards campaign to re-
duce production.

WORLD GRAIN FARLEY
HOPELESSLY DIVIDED
Wheat Surplus Problem Given to
Committees as General Sessions
at Rome End.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, March 3O.-The world grain
conference, which for four days has
been trying to solve the problem Of the
international wheat surplus, ended its
general sessions this afternoon and dis
solved into several committees which
met to investigate special phases Of the
difficulties.
Practically all of the delegates who
attended the conference received APP
pointmentS on the special committees,
and it was said that these would con-
tinue working until probably Wednes-
day.
Thus far the conference is hopelessly
conferences will have to be held before
anything like a solution can be achieved.
The European countries along the
Danube still maintain the necessity of
a preferential tariff system, which would
mean a virtual boycott against nom
European wheat. In retaliation, the
great wheat-growing countries Of the
world have threatened to revoke their
most-favored nation treaties If the pref
erential tariffs are put into effect.
All countries admit that there has
been an overproduction of wheat, but
each ercphatically declared that it win
not reduce its own acreage. On the con-
trary, some countries, particularly Rus
STA, announced that they would do
everything possible to increase produc-
ton.
Engelbert Dollfuss, Austrian minister
of agriculture, in speech at this morn
ing's session, opposed reducing wheat
production and advanced the opinion
that the surplus could be disposed Of
through international agreement.

Driver Merely Scratched,
Though His Car Is Reduced
to Junk in Crash.
THOUSANDS OF FEDERAL
WORKERS ARE DELAYED
Several Passengers Shaken Up, but
Unidentified Woman Is Only
One Injured.

His automobile literally demolished
when crushed between two street cars
at Sixteenth and H streets today, Omar
P. Poole. 42-year-old bond salesman
climbed out practically unhurt. The
wreck derailed both the street care and
tied up traffic on the Mount Pleasant
line of the Washington Railway &
Electric Co. for more than an hour at
the $3.50 rush period.
Thousands Of Government workers
either took taxicabs or walked to work
while the fire rescue squad and emer-
gency crews of the railway line dragged
the automobile away and put the street
cars back on the track.
Woman Slightly Hurt.
Both street cars, one of them pulling
a trailer, were crowded. The paSsen-
gers were shaken up, but only one
persona woman whose identity could
not be learned-waS injured. Her arm
was bruised and sprained when she was
thrown against seat, but she refused
to go to hospital.
Both street cars were so badly dam
aged they had to be taken to the barn
for repairs. T. G. Caldwell, motorman
Of the Mount Pleasant trolley, narrowly
escaped being cut by flying glass, which
showered his body when the car jumped
the tracks.
Cars were lined up along H street for
several blocks in either direction. and
automobile traffic was virtually at a
Stand-still, until Metropolitan and park
police untangled the snarl.
Steps From Wreckage.
Poole, who lives at 1853 Columbia
road, escaped with only a cut over his
right eye and few bruises on his right
leg, although his car was folded up like
so much cardboard when crushed be-
tween the cars.
Poole stepped from the wreckage
without assistance and stood in the car
tracks, ruefully contemplating the
wreckage Of his automobile, for more
than five minutes, while members of the
crews Of the two cars sought TO induce
him to go to q hospital.
He was still standing few feet from
his wrecked automobile when police ar
rived. They insisted Poole be taken tc

TAMMANY SHIFTS
1888 IN CLEANUP
All Manhattan and Brooklyn
Tenement Inspectors Are
Transferred.
az the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 30.-Tammanys
preinvestigat!ca housekeeping today
took in the City Tenement House De-
partment, which underwent the most
drastic shake-up in its history.
William F. Deegan, head of the de-
partment, announced every inspector in
Brooklyn had been transferred to Man.
haitian, and the full Manhattan force
had been moved to Brooklyn.
In each of the other three boroughs,
Inspectors were switched to new duties.
In all, 3S3 men were affected.
This is not the first time have
shifted my employees" said Mr.. Deegan.
Il have found a shifting around every
three or four months to be the best
way to get results"
Although there have been previous
shake-ups, never before has the whole
personnel been switched to new jobs.
Prober to Get Free Hand.
w. Kingsland Macy, the Republican
State chairman, who urged the coming
legislative investigation Of New York
City, and Samuel Seabury, prospective
counsel for the yet unnamed commit
tee to do the investigating, were report
ed comforting today on program and pro-
cedure, with Mr.. Macy prepared to as
sure Seabury Of free hand.
Radical changes in two important
city bureaus on the return of Mayor
James J. Walker from California were
generally forecast, the latest to come
under the critical eye of the administra-
ton being the department Of markets
which inspect kosher meat.
The mayor was reported planning TO
turn the inspection of kosher meat oveI
to the health department by executive
order. Numerous graft complaints about
the present inspection have been re.
ported.
The other bureau likely to feel the
altering hand of the executive was the
Board Of Standards and Appeals.
Charges Against Berry Filed.
Meanwhile, with the mayors return
almost week away, investigation &C
tivity conferred around the building
bureaus of the five boroughs.
Meantime, William H. Allen, director
of the Institute for Public Service, an
nounced that he had filed charges with
Gov. Roosevelt against Controller
Charles w. Berry, another Tammany
ofnceholder. Many Of the major in
efhciencies charged against the mayor
might have been prevented by the con-
troller," Mr.. Allen said.
George U. Harvey, borough president
Of Queens and an ally of Mayor Walker
although a Republican, stood embattled
against any attempt by Tammany to
touch his domain during its house
cleaning" before the start of the legis-
lative investigation into New York City
affairs.
On the heels of the arrest on a bribery
charge of Rollin G. Bastress, Queens
Republican and former chief inspector
for the department of buildings in Man
haitian, Harvey announced If Commits
sioner Of Accounts James A. Higgins,
who has been investigating city de-
partments for Mayor Walker for two
years, attempted to take action in
Queens he would file charges Of ir-
reglilarities against Higgins.

Hoover's Sugar Cane,
Brought for Children,
Taken by u. S. Aides
Ru the Assnciated press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover is shy two
bottles of juicy Porto Rican sugar
cane. The Government took it
away from him.
While in Porto Rico the Chief
Executive, thinking Of his two
little grandchildren, and Secre-
tary Hurley, who also has young
sters in his household, decided to
bring back some Of the cane for
the children.
1t was easy to get two large
bottles of cane, but Agriculture
Department inspectors at Hamp-
ton Roads seized it because they
feared it carried tropical plant
diseases.
Lawrence Richey, secretary to
the President, consulted with the
inspectors, found them adamant,
and finally told them, "Oh, all
right; throw it overboardl"
