Connecticut Chemists
 Find New Plant Acids
Agricultural Experiment Station Announces New Class
 Hitherto Undiscovered, in Tobacco Plant

E,ant life, the investigators found the widely accepted methods by which such acids have been studied to be inaccurate. The method they developed not only yielded more ac- curate results in regard to acids al- eady known, but also revealed the presence of acidic substances of new and unlocked for types, the nature of which has not yet been established.
 These new acids compose almost 40 per cent of the ncidic substances in the tobacco seed and also a simi- larly high proportion of the total acids of the grown plant leaves.
 In addition to the acids of un- known types number of well known acids are present in tobacco. Mallc acid, which occurs in apples ord other fruit and in the leaves Of many plants, makes up about 3 per cent of the dry weight of mature tobacco leaves. Citric acid, to which the sour taste of lemons and grape fruit is due, Is also present.

PRESIDENT HAS MADE LANDING IN PORTO RICO
Aside From Greetings of Crowd He Was Met With Handbills Printing a Bit ter Attack

 Ponce, Porto Rico, March 23.-- |(UP)--President Hoover landed here to-day from the U. s. s. Ari- zona on the first stop In his Carib-
 bean cruise.
 The president came ashore at 7:45 Q. m., after he had conferred with Governor Theodore Roosevelt aboard the Arizona. A large crowd was gathered to greet him in a typical Porto Rican seeting of Palm trees and tropical weather.
 Elements said to be nationalist sympathizers continued m apparent fly futile effort to Inject hostility into the presidential reception until Il few hours before the Arizona ar- rived. Hand bills were distributed in the towns through which the presidential party will pass cnroute to San Juan, describing Mir Hoover as tho head of "a capitalistic, pluto
 cratic, and socialist" republican party.
 The hand bills assailed the friend- liness of "the socialist labor party" toward the Hoover adminfstratio ton.
 They cited the presidents veto of the soldiers bonus loan bill and con- cluded by urging Porto Ricans to
 refrain from homage to the presi- dent.
 Homage is possible only between equals" the literature stated.
 The procla nation was signed by
 Luis Vergne Ortiz, president of the
 San Juan nationalist committee. Regret was expressed here that
 the nationalist activities had been reported In the American and con- tinental press for fear that the im- portance of the movement might be
 exaggerated. The nationaiists are an ardent but small group without |any important political following.

DISPUTES COOLIDGE
SILVER STATEMENT
Borah Blames Debasement,
Not 0yerproduCtion, for
Low Price.

Senator Borah, Republican, Of idaho
differs with former President Calvin
Coolidge over the silver question.
In . formal statement, the Idaho
Senator charged that the low price of
silver was due to deliberate effort by
governments to debaSe silver and was
not overproduction.
Mr.. Coolidge, In his daily newspaper
comment, advocated an international
silver conference and said silver had
been cheapened "by the increased use
Of machinery and invention In Its pro.
ductton."
Formal Statement Issued.
Senator Borah replied to the Coolidge
article in the following formal state
n1ent:
"Ex-President Coolidge said this
morning: Like 30 many other COM
modities. silver has been cheapened by
the increased use of machinery and
invention in its production Something
besides machinery Of production. some
thing besides increased use OF machin-
cry Of production, must be considered
In accounting for the present debase-
ment of silver.
since 1919 the average yearly out
put of silver has been slightly above
230.000,0 900 ounces. The average yearly
consumption during that time has been
about 265 ,O00. 900 ounces. The con-
sumption has been greater than the
output.
Oxersupply Admitted.
There has been no improved ma
ehinery or inventions for the production
Of silver OF any moment during that
time.
II grant there has been an oversuppiy
Of silver, but not an overproduction.
And the oversupply has been brought
about by governmental action in de-
basing silver and thereby dumping upon
the world market the silver which has
been boarded through hundreds OF
years"
