he explained, to the decline in horses
and mules requiring grain. The land
has been released to feed milk and meat
animals. 1t also is due, he pointed out,
to the increased efficiency of agricul-
ture, so the average cow produces Is
per cent more milk than before the
war, and a shift from less productive
to more productive crops.
The economic depression, he said,
has caused a decline Of about per
cent in meat consumption, 2 or per
cent in dairy products and large
decline In sugar.

Even the slightest encroachment may
prove to be q wedge which. II unop-
posed, will permit further abuse of the
restrictive powers Of equity courts.
TT is but a step from the suppress
sion of news circulated by hand bills,
circulars and through the labor press
to the hampering and hindering Of the
newspapers in their expression OF news
| relating to strikes and labor disputes.
This is a matter Of very vital, mu-
tual interest to the press and to labor.
Our mutual interest compels labor and
the press TO stand firmly together in
support of the freedom of the press,
one great. cardinal principle upon
which our Government rests"
Praises Nations Press.
In concluding, Mr.. Green said:
Labor Is encouraged and heartened
by the fact that more and more 1t
becomes evident that those who con-
troll the press of the Nation are being
influenced by the spirit Of altruism and
consideration for the rights of those
who toll and serve so faithfully in
industry"
The convention late yesterday heard
report from the society's Committee
on Schools of Journalism. It was the
committees opinion that a journalism
school should offer q two-year cultural
course, followed by two years Of work
as intensely practical" as possible.
The chief problems of the schools,
the report said, are adjusting them
selves TO the newspapers and the adj
justment of newspapers to themselves.
Harold B. Johnson, editor Of the Water

Of the committee, submitted the report.

Walks Down. In Monument.
The prince put one over on formalitv
and schedule yesterday afternoon when
he quit the famed cherry blossoms for
the top of the Washington Monument
and then led smilingly indulgent
troop of aides, including mighty
weary Ambassador Debuchi, down the
long, winding stairs. Not only that, but
the young Japanese lieutenant upset
the schedule a second time by visiting
the Lincoln Memorial on the same out
ing, when he was not supposed to have
seen that shrine until tomorrow morn
ing.
Prince and Princess Takamatsu had
gone to the Tidal Basin to view the
cherry trees presented by Toxic to- the
United States 10 years ago. While they
posed at the beck and call of news
pepper and motion picture photographers
in the center of milling throng of
Americans bent on glimpsing an ORR
entail imperial honeymoon couple, the
prince became fascinated by the stately
shaft of the monument. which was mir
rored in the Tidal Basin. He stood Il
AcAA6
to an aide that he would like to see the
Capital from the top. The whisper was
adequate.
Wanted to See Stone.
The party climbed into It's cars and
was whisked away to the base of the
shaft for the elevator ride aloft. Once
in the top Prince Takamatsu got the
idea he'd like to inspect the stone sent
by his nation for placement in the mon
ument wall. The only way to do that,
he was told, was to walk down. And
so the princess vas bundled into the
elevator for the return trip, while her
royal husband, smiling mischievously
at the men who remained behind,
started down the long stairs Ambas-
sador Debuchi, being a good diplomat
and generous host to his young prince,
grinned and started after him.
approximately halfway down, the
party halted while Prince Takamatsu
read the japanese inscription of his
country's gift to the Monument. Con-
tinuing the long downward walk, the
prince emerged from the base of the
shaft triumphant tourist who had
done" what he had wanted.

New York, Sept 30.-CUP)- Search for the men who murdered Benjamin P. Ceilings aboard the yacht Penguin on Long Island Sound centered to-day in Vest chester county, where police were reported holding two new suspects.
 Ceilings was killed by two men, one about 45 or 50 and the other about 20. Assistant District Attor- ney Fred J. Munder was expected to arrive at Westchester from Huntington to-day to view the men and question them.
 Meanwhile another "A hours in- vestigation of the case showed the following results:
 Mrs Lillian Ceilings, attractive young widow, looked at photo- graphs of two Stamford, Conn, men, said to be in the south at present, and said they were not the men who killed her husband and took her away in a canoe and attacked her.
 A body was washed up on the beach at Asharoken, l.. l., on an estate leased for the summer by Eugene O'Neill, the playwright. A. first it was thought to be that Of a mysterious wounded man" men, toned in Mrs Ceilings stories. Dr Vincent McAuliffe performed an autopsy and said it had been in the water only 10 days or two weeks. The Ceilings murdered occurred almost three weeks ago, but the possibility of a connection still re- mained.
 Frederick J. Voos, owner of the Bridgeport, Conn, Eastern league baseball club. identified four of the blankets left with Mrs Ceilings when the elderly murderer aban- doned her as blankets stolen from his yacht. the Estrelita, while IL was anchored in the Housatonic river August z.
 The tennis sneakers given Mrs Ceilings by the murderers failed to produce any tangible clue to their identity after Felix Di Mar tini attempted to trace their sale. In order to connect these seem ingly disconnected pieces of in- formation with the apparently mo- tiveless murder of quiet, retired engineer living peaceably aboard his yacht in Long Island Sound, a brief recapitulation of Mrs Col lings' account of the fatal events of the night of September ID IS necessary. Ceilings, his wife, and their daughter Barbara, aged 6, were aboard the Penguin off Price s Bend, L. I. It was about 10 p. m
