RATES ON GRAIN IS
RE0PENEDBY ORDER
Ruling by Examiners For !. c. c.
Puts Whole Business Back
Eight Years

Chicago, April 20.-lF-The whole
question Of freight rates on grain and
grain products was thrown open We'd
|nesday by examiners Arthur Mackley
and George Hall, Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The examiners, in making this de-
cision. over ruled the petition of
western trunk line carriers to exclude
all testimony on the economic plight
Of agriculture.
In reopening the rate hearing. the
commission was virtually right back
where 1t started half dozen years
ago after the Hoch-Smith resolution
had ordered a general investigation O;
all rates.
The taking of testimony was expect
ed to last three weeks with the car
riers presenting first evidence. The
commission has under consideration
petitions for additional hearings in
Fort Worth, Texas; Hutchinson. Kan
sas; Minneapolis, Los Angeles, San
Francisco and Kansas City.
No decision will be made on these
petitions until the close Of the Chi
cago hearing.
In general, the Chicago hearing will
be presentation OF the serious
plights of both agriculture and the
carriers. The grain interests - pro-
ducers and elevator operators-seek a
lower rate. The carriers seek to
maintain at least the present rates.
The first clash between raisers and
carriers in Wednesdays hearing came
after former governor Clyde Reed. Of
Kansas asked the commissioners as a
time saver to stipulate the economic
plight OF agriculture as contained in
testimony Of the former hearings.
A. B. Eaoch. chairman Of the legal
committee of the western trunk line
carriers, refused and objected to the
presentation of any evidence on eco
nosnic distress.
Examiner Mackley then ruled the
whole question Is thrown wide
open:" that to bring the records down
to date, both sides could present any
testimony they wish on economic
conditions.

GOVERNMENT IS ACCUSED
Leader Says Reversal Of Atti-
tude by Prohibition Office
is Disastrous

San Francisco, April 20-lR-Revi-
sion Of the 18th amendment to per-
NIT the sale of naturally fermented
beverages was advocated here We'd
neSday as new policy of the Cali
fornia Vineyardists association by
Donald D. Conn, managing director
OF the association.
In a report summarizing his adj
ministration for the last five years,
Conn charged a reversal Of govern
mental prohibition enforcement po-
licies threatened disaster to the
grape industry and made legaliza-
ton Of wine-making imperative.
He charged that for IL years the
government, by liberal rulings and
interpretations of the Volstead Act,
approved and assisted the growing
and sale Of juice grapes for home
wine making" only to "betray" the
grape growers later by complete
reversal" Of prohibition enforcement
policy.
THE government, from the begin
ming, has been a party to the in
creased volume of wine-grape pro-
duction," his report set forth. Both
federal and state authorities not only
permitted these additional paintings
after the prohibition act was passed,
but did much to encourage wine
grape marketing and sale.
Fruit Industries, Ltd. a. had its
genesis as a result Of conferences
between the department of justice,
the treasury and the department Of
agriculture in Washington. Its pro-
gram was fully understood from the
beginning -.
The anti-prohibition portion Of
Conn's report was endorsed by COM
mittee of leaders Of the industry.
In lieu of the Volstead Act, Conn
urged advocacy of national liquor
plan to be enacted by congress after
the 18th amendment has been re-
pealed or modified. He offered his
plan as a part of longtime pro-
gram of rehabilitation" of the grape
industry.
It would permit the restricted
manufacture of wines for use in
homes and hotels. Unlimited fer
mentation or distillation of surplus
agricultural crops and the exporta-
ton of the resultant products to for
eign countries would be permitted.
Conn estimated his plan would
provide about $500 900 of tax re-
ceipts to the federal government an
nually.

CALL MRS. MASSIE
AS LAST WITNESS
IN HONOLULU TRIAL
Victim of Assault to Strike Fin.
al Blow For Defense in
Honor Staying

Honolulu. April 20.-(R)-Mrs. Tina
liza Massie, unwilling player in the
drama of passion and homicide that
has shaken Hawaii politically and
socially, was chosen to strike the final
blow for the defense in the Joseph
Kahahawai lynclling trial Wednes-
day.
Clarence Darow. promising to end
his case Wednesday, announced he
probably would call the blonde o.
year-old assault victim to the wit
ness stand in the effort to free her
husband, Lieut.. Thomas H. Massie,
and three other persons accused of
the killing.
A direct story of the brutality suf-
fered by the young woman In the as
sault Of last September was expected
as the defense sought to reinforce
the testimony Of Lieut.. Massie. who
admitted holding the pistol that kill
ed the young native.
Despite the efforts Of belligerent
prosecution, DR.. ]. Thomas Orbison
and DR.. Edward Huntington Williams.
Los Angeles alienists, insisted in
their testimony Massie was insane at
the moment he faced Kahahawai
with drawn pistol and heard the ath-
lete allegedly confess attacking Mrs.
MaSsie.
Will Be Cross-Examined
DR.. Williams remained to be cross
examined. however. before the de-
tense could take the final step in its
case.
The announcement by barrow,
head Of defense counsel, that Mrs.
Massie would be called was taken to
mean none of the other defendants.
Mrs. Granville Fortescue, mother Of
the attack victim: Albert o. Jones
and f. J. Lord, navy enlisted men,
would take the stand.
The defense previously had con-
sidered calling Jones because of pro-
secution hints that he was the real
killer of Kahahawai. 1t was learned,
however, the defense had decided to
let Lieut.. Massie's story stand as the
only direct account of the killing.
DR.. Orbison termed Massie's all
ment as "delirium with ambulatory
automatism," which he reduced to
plain mental arrangement when
Darrow asked him for simplified
definition.
Jury Is Interested
The IL men In the jury box ex-
hibited signs Of interest.
The alienist expressed the belief
that fit of anger did not cause Mas
sic to kill Kahahawai because In
this case the mans whole idea was
to get a confession, and it was UNI
likely he would kill the person from
whom he expected to get this con-
fession unless his reason was I'M
balanced"
DR.. Williams said his observation
was that Massie had fallen into men,
tai tension. In an aside to the jury
he said:
"You hear in joking way about
monkey glands. It isn't joke. It is
the most serious thing in the world.
1t Is so important that six weeks ago
the American Medical association
said that the endocrine glands were
the basis of all future medicine.
If I could have tested Lieutenant
Massie's blood at the time this thing
happened, 1t would have shown the
gland secretions were deficient. This
man carried about him a bomb. He
was IN an automatic condition. I
am convinced he is telling the truth"

OUTLINE PLAN TO
RAISE PRICES OF
THREE FARM CROPS
Agriculturalists and Farm Econ.
omists to Sponsor Scheme
in Congress
WOULD ISSUE ALL0TMENIs
Farmers Would Be Insured Ben
eft Of Tariff on Domestic
Consumption

Chicago, April 20.-(P)-A legisla-
ton program was outlined Tuesday by
a group of agriculturalists and farm
economists for a crop control plan to
make the tariff effective on wheat
cotton and tobacco consumed In the
United States.
The plan, known as the domestic
allotment, will be introduced in con-
gress as soon as the legislation Is
drafted.
In tentative form. the plan proposes
a system of allotment rights for mar.
keting that part of wheat, cotton and
tobacco processed domestically. The
rights would be issued to the produce
ers and absorbed by the professor, in
turn. The control costs would be
placed on the product.
In the case OF wheat, the allotment
rights certificates would be worth an
approximate AZ cents a bushel. The
present import duty.
M. L. Wilson of the Montana Agri-
cultural college, chairman of the con.
ference. outlined the plan as follows
I'm the case Of wheat, If the amount
needed for consumption In the United
States is 500,000,000 bushels. a some
what smaller amount, say. as, 000. oot
bushels. would be the total domestic
allotment. This would be divided be.
tween the wheat producing states on
the basis Of their five-year average
production. Each state allotment, In
turn, would be divided into countie.
and this apportioned among the
farmers. Either in proportion tx
their acreage wheat production fol
five years or on basis of farm acre
age.
To each farmer would be issued ar
allotment certificate for the number
of bushels assigned to him for sale
for domestic consumption. Millers
and other professors of wheat could
use only wheat accompanied by Ger
tificates for the same number OF
bushels, for which certificates they
would pay approximately AZ cents q
bushel.
"Since wheat could be obtained ir
no other way except by importation
this would make the tariff of AZ cents
bushel Immediately effective on al!
domestic consumption of wheat for
food purposes. The excess over the
amount of his allotment produced By
each farmer would be used for see
or feed or sold for export. Allotment
certificates would be transferable
giving something to those farmers
who suffer crop failures. and would
provide basis for which to advance
credit for crop production
The domestic allotment plan differs
radically from the export debenture
and equalization fee principle Of con-
troll. There Is no dependence upon
the export demand in the allotment
plan.
No control of production would be
attempted. Each farmer could pro-
duce as much wheat as he desired
over and above his allotment rights.
but he could get for it only the price
paid for export wheat.
