FARM ALLOTMENT
PLAN SUBMITTED
Agricultural and Commodity
Groups Give Views to
Jones' Committee.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A unanimous agreement on funda-
mental, farm relief principles closely
approximating the domestic allotment
sin prepared by Chairman Jones was
submitted to the House Agriculture
Committee today by spokesmen for
national farm and commodity organ
izations.
The agreement, reached at a pro-
longed conference held here was out
lined to the committee by Frederick T.
Lee, attorney for the farm leaders.
Three Major Principles.
Lee named three major principles on
which the farm groups desire legisla-
ton to be founded. They were:
That the legislation in question
should be administered by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
That It should cover four basic COM
tanodities, wheat. cotton, tobacco and
hogs.
THAT the legislation should be
framed to the end of giving agricultural
commodities their pre-war parity with
other commodities is, the same
purchasing power as agricultural COM
Snodities enjoyed between 1909 and
H914,"
Cites Two Limitations.
2 On the problem presented by wheat
totton and tobacco, Lee said the farm
headers recommended:
4 That the producer be paid the diff
Ference between the world price and
shat which would be obtamable on the
basis Of the pre-war parity. This should
3e subject to two limitations: First,
they should be paid the difference only
,y,fi
payments should be made unless there
should be q 20 per cent reduction in
Screage.
I'VE recommend that on the first year
there should be no contract but that
the frst Of these limitations should be
placed on the farmer, who would make
his statement before a notary public.
For the year 1894. We would have the
Secretary of Agriculture. if he finds 1t
preferahle. to require contracts. Where
rs we would have a mandatory 20 per
rent reduction in 1888. for 1884 the
nuestion OF reduction would be left to
the administrative officer.
I'VE would haH no time limit on op-
Grafton of the bill. but would have II
operate automatically when prices are
below the pre-wa1 parity and stop when
chat parity exists.
Would Paw in Certificates.
1--WE would make payments through
benefit certificates. To prevent even
Temporary drain on the Treasury we
would provide for payment OF the first
half Of the face value Of the certificates
within 80 days after issue and the other
half six months later
we recommend tax on processing
In the equivalent amount Of the bene-
fit to be paid"
/. Peter Cary. president Of the Chicago
Board OF Trade, present as Lee testi-
fled, told newspaper men he saw three
major objections to the domestic allot-
ment plan of the farm leaders.
!. In the first place Cary said 1T Is
a tax on one group for the benefit OF
the farmer That raises grave ques-
stiou of constitutionality. Secondly. it
lis . distinct burden on the professor,
because he will not be able to pass on
:the full amount of the tax.
/. I'm the third place. by increasing
prices it will force consumers to cheaper
substitutes.
However, Cary said, so far as grain
exchanges were concerned this plan Is
tess ffarYnfui than other nostrun1s that
have been proposed"

1T is the honor Of the French family
which is involved. Whatever may
happen. whatever may be the passions
and ouarreis, let US remain faithful to
the signature given so that the dOcu-
ment signed will not be scrap Of
paper"
Applause and Protests.
Loud applause from the, Leftist
benches followed, but there were mur-
murs throughout the hall and protests
from some sections.
Practically all the deputies Of the left
arose In their places and acclaimed
their leader. Many rushed to his side
and wrung his hand as he descended
from the tribune.
When President BOuisson OF the
chamber announced the government
project of payment with reservations
had been rejected. Herriot. with his fel-
low ministers grouped cmpactly
around him, left the government bench
amidt the applause Of his friends.
Before adoption Of the committees
resolution, Lamoureux introduced a
modincation OF the last paragraph
necessitated by resignation Of the gov
ernment.
In its final form. the resolution said:
Ihe chamber. while waiting for the
general necessary negotiations, expresses
It's Judgment that payment on December
IS should be deferred"

referred to the authority to detail ofn-
GERS to rivers and harbors work and
the omission of similar authority for
flood control work. Col. Roop admitted
that was ian oversight"
The budget director was asked sew
eral times by committee members re-
garding the proposal for Army and
Navy consolidation, and admitted that
was not contemplated in the Pres1-
dents reorganization program.
Representative Davenport OF New
York argued that the transfer OF large
groups from one department to another
is not a safe procedure and that such
q transfer OF rivers and narD0rS WORK
from the War Department might lead
to extravaganza and corruption II the
new administrative agency in charge
lacked the long time confidence built
up by the Army organization.
Col Roop explained that the re-
grouping of agencies and activities
would not mean a revamping of all the
appropriation bills, since the executive
order provides for transfer OF appro-
priations as well as personnel.
Cites Accounting once.
Representative Schafer insisted that
there could be no showing OF economy
through the transfer of important duties
from the controller general to the
Budget Bureau, saying the Accounting
Once was established to keep away
political pressure. Col. Roop explained
that the controller general sti1 would
have undivided charge Of auditing, but
that the establishment Of accounting
systems and administrative supervision
Of accounts should remain in the vari-
GUS departments under the budget
system.
schafer also argued for consohda-
ton of law enforcement activities In the
Justice Department, saying the Bureau
of Investigation now has only about
three or four million dollars for its
activities In enforcement of many laws,
while the prohibition unit has many
millions for enforcement Of one law.
He declared that In . consolidation OF
law enforcement, . tremendous saving

PLAN D. c. RELIEF
I, PLEA IN CONGRESS
Social Workers Expected to
Ask Prompt Action on
i $1,25O,OOO Fund.

The critical relief situation in Wash.
ington will be placed before the Amer
ican Association Of Social Workers, an
organization with branches in 100 cities.
at meeting in the Dodge Hotel tonight.
The local chapter OF the association
is expected to appointment a committee
10 confer with local relief workers, pre-
paratory to appealing to members of
Congress for prompt action on the
sl,250,000 relief appropriation for 1893.
This figure is s250,OOO lower than the
estimate submitted to the District Com
missioners by the Board OF Public We'll
fare, several days ago. This appeal for
funds has been forwarded to the House
Appropriations Committee, and it is ex-
pected the subcommittee ON deficiencies
of the House District Committee will
meet early next week to consider the
legislation.
Have Special Training.
The Association Of Social Workers is
composed of more than 5000 members
throughout the country who have had
special training in relief and welfare
work. The organization probably will
devise program for national relief
work to be submitted to Congress early
in 1888. In the meantime. however. the
local members will be asked to use their
influence with Congress to relieve the
acute situation here.
Chairman Byrns of the subcommittee
on deficiencies said yesterday he favored
approval Of the local relief program,
which has been submitted to Congress.
so long as it is understood this
amount will come out of District appro-
priations and be paid for by District
taxpayers instead of the country at
large I personally see no reason why
the deficiency should not be allowed"
he declared.
Allowances Reduced.
Workers under direction Of LEROY A.
HalDert. director Of emergency relief.
today began putting into effect the re-
duced allowances which have been or
dered TO make funds now on hand last
through the first two weeks in January.
The relief organization has on hand
approximately $4,000 of an appropria-
ton of S350,000 and 100000 donated by
the Community Chest This gives it
about S22~ 500 a week for actual relief
work after deducting administration ex-
penses.
In order to make the fund now on
hand last through the first half of
January, it will be necessary to reduce
from 470 to s4 the weekly allotment
to each family Of four persons now re-
ceiving help. If Congress, however,
should act on the deficiency appropria-
tion before the middle of next month. 1t
will be possible to restore the allow
ances to the s4.70 figure.

Difficulties for Successor.
He expressed the conviction that any
man who would succeed him as premier
would have an extremely difficult sit
uation to face because he would lack
the moral prestige which he will need
to continue negotiations"
Turning toward the Socialists. he ez-
claimed:
You, also, are wrong. You soon will
recognize your error First Of all, you
are going to isolate France"
Herriot called the attention OF the
chamber to what he termed the prob
ability that if France does not pay,
England cannot definitely pay America
without in her turn asking payments
from France.
7 have warned I have never lost
sight of the constant solidarity OF
France and England and now you are
going in the direction Of returning to
separate accords. If the common front
is destroyed and if England treats
separately with America, it will not be
my responsibility" he said.
Declaring it his Judgment that not
to pay constituted unilateral decision
by France, he said good ethics, after
all, are something very simple and OF
perfect clearness."
There Is simple truth standing

the signature of France, he continued

Interesting Observation

Let us see how long Judge
with his alert. natural, grace
full fielding and his experienced
batting eye keeps the job after
Young Kuhels injured hand re-
pairs!
Let us see if Griff's and Wal
ter'S words are worth the
breath in which they were
spoken. This is something in
which Washington is vitally in
terested. No one phase of the
Washington training season has
been more widely discussed
than the Judge VS.. Kuhel de-
bate.
OF course, in baseball as
other efforts. youth must have
its fling. but youth has time to
await its fling, while it is
obviously left handed to snatch
away from a player who is yet
FAR from through, that which
years of splendid service has
created for him.
Here is the thought We have
long harbored as regards to Joe
Judge and Joe Kuhel. It is
this: Pennants are won one
year at a time. Every baseball
race is a six-months' issue. #
the Washington club is aiming
at a pennant in 1888 or "a it
is probably quite proper to dis
card Joe now so that in one or
two years the team will have

Visit to Sick Wife
Will Help Crowder
Mentally Griff

BILOXI, Miss, March 28.-
General Alvin Crowder left the
Griffmen today for his home
at Winston,Salem, N. c. The
reason for his sudden depar-
ture is his wHe's illness which
has reached a point where the
veteran pitcher is needed at
her bedside.
Crowder told Griff before he
left that he would return i'm
mediately if "all was quiet at
Winston-Salem." However, he'll
stay if his wife is too i'll for
him to leave right away.
Asked if he thought CroWder'S
departure was going to retard
the pitcher too much in his
condition, Griff said:
NATURALLY his inactivity from
training will set him back a
couple of days. But he'll prob
ably be in better condition
mentally when he finds out his
wife's real condition. He's been
worried all week about her,
having received kilograms daily.
The General is in such fine
shape, however, that any
absence right now won't hurt
him too much. / look for him
to be all right when he returns
to us"

Boyle, who was brought to
camp only for a trial, Is to re-
port to the Orioles as soon as he
can pack his grips and get some
sort of transportation to Gulfport,
neighboring city of Biloxi.
Griff, in returning the young
Ster, saves himself quite a bit Of
dough which he would have had
to pay out to the orioles had he
kept him.
The latest development con-
firms reports Of several days ago
that Griff was going to return
Boyle to the club from which he
came.
Boyle was "taken on" by Griff
last summer in one of the various
and sundry deals pulled off with
the Baltimore club. At the time
Boyle was thought to have been
purchased along with Johnny
Gill, who has since been sent to
the Chattanooga club OF the
Southern Association. But this
spring it was found out that the
youngster was only on trial.
Harris Rests Easier
News of Boyle's departure no
doubt will make Dave Harris rest
a little easier than heretofore.
Dave has worked all during the
training grind to date under the
torture of thinking that Boyle
would be kept as utility outfielder
instead of him. But now the
chubby outfielder can go through
the remainder Of the training
period here with the feeling OF
comfort about his job-proV1ding
of course Griff doesn't pull a
sudden change in plans and get
somebody else through some deal
or another.
During Boyle's stay here, he
and Harris have put up an inter
esting fight for the open utility
outfield berth. Both players have
hit pretty well, with Harris prob
ably looking the better because
of his experience. In regards to
fielding, Boyle has led Harris by
several miles.
However, Boyle is being sent
back. first because Griff doesn't
want to gamble on the player at
the present time, and secondly,
because of a fear the youngster
would not measure up to the hit
ting necessary to make the big
league grade.

yet. Griff will make decisions
in the cases of these players

German Shifted to Outfeld on Nd L. Nine
TEAM MEETS
\. c. STATEN
FIRST GAME
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON


Hymie German, regular first
baSeman on the Maryland Uni
versity nine which opens against
North Carolina State l.. Raleigh,
N. c., tomorrow, has been shifted
to left field. Coach Burton Ship
ley made the switch in order to
station the lanky Spencer Chase,
sophomore, at first.
Chase has been assigned to
cover first because of his height,
though also said to be a keen
fielder and sticker. German was
the teams leading hitter last
year and Shipley made room in
the outer works for him.
The opening lineup against the
Wolfpack will find Chase on first,
Wee Willie Wolfe, second; Shorty
Chalmers, shortstop; Bozie Berg
er, third base; German, left field;
Bucky Buscher, center field; Paul
Cronin, right field, and Bob Will
son or Bill O'Hara. catcher.
Pitching Candidates
Coach Shipley will name his
pitching choice from Bill Nc
Ilwee, Ray Davidson, Steve Ply
sioc and Ralph Ripple, with the
possibility that two of these will
divide the duties. The pitchers,
as well as the entire squad for
that matter, are not sufficiently
advanced in their conditioning,
the unfavorable weather which
had gripped this section until a
week ago having retarded the
training.
It is also probable that David
son, unless nominated to start
the game on the mound, will be
placed in right field over Cronin.
Davidson packs a punch at bat
and Shipley Graves hitting
strength, the team being weak Of
fensively last year.
Wilson May Catch
Wilson, who also played the
outfield and worked behind the
plate last year, will draw the
first-String backstop job if his
throwing arm is sound and sure.
Otherwise the job will go to
O'Hara or Sterling.
Willis Benner, of last years
freshmen, will be reserved for
utility purposes, in both the out
field and infield. Says Sf1ipley:
81 want to save Benner for
next years infield, as 1 lose
both Berger and Chalmers by
graduation. Benner seems a
natural infielder, handles him
self well and is brainy."
