Mr.. Hogan, attacking "ignoble" gov

that time and time again within the

Assailing the prohibition law and en-

been for stricter law enforcement;

During all this, apparently little thought

He also hit at legislative inveStiga-

Lilleston, discoursing generally in hu-
morous vein, said that the legal profess
sion did not believe in the perfection
of law or that it should be unchange-
able, and added:

out of their difficulties.
1t has been the purpose Of the ad-

eviction of the bonus army to prevent
any recurrence of such a congregation

ventive measures against just such

Conference. and it is likely that If the

with definite limits as to the length Of
stay of the group. with self-support-
ing organization and a legitimate plea
to present at the proper places, no bar
will be put in the path of the parley
Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, superin-
tendent of police, is known to have
taken up with the District Commission
ers the matter of giving him authority
to evict any group of INDECENT persons
who might come to Washington and
otherwise to facilitate a prevention Of
disorders of any kind that might arise
from the congregation of groups here.
The aspect Of the proposed confer
ence as an expression of lack Of conf
oence in the existing big farm organi-
cations throughout the country, with
the added possibility that it may result
in formation of permanent new 'close
to the soil" organized agricultural move
ment, promises to be an important de-
in the matter of forthcoming
farm relief legislation.
Members of the old farm organiZa-
tions, including the Farmers Union,
National Grange and American Farm
Bureau Federation, have in several in
according to advance informa-
tion, been active in helping to organize
the farmers march on Washington, but
without any sanction on the part of the
agricultural associations themselves.
Thus far, it is said, the old line farm
have maintained silence
toward the farmers march movement
and will likely continue to do so. Word
has been received here that in this
march and Washington convention Will
include farmers from Pennsylvania,
Minnesota. Iowa, New Jersey, New York.
Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and several OF
the Northwestern States. Each farmer
in the march will serve in the capacity
of a delegate representing Is farmers
from his neighborhood. and it Is under
stood that those arranging for the
