manager Of the American Cotton Co.

Government competition with private

Interrupting the testimony of Charles
G. Henry, manager OF the Mlosouth
Cotton Growers Association, another
Farm Board agency, Senator MckelIar
said he thought neither Mr.. Greek
more "or any other cotton man ought
to be paid $4,000, or $4,000 either,

THE Government didn't pay him,
Henry replied. The farmers paid him
and they knew his salary"
Henry said cotton sold at 20 cents
pound when the American Cotton CO.
operative Association was formed, ana
that Creekmore's salary was fixed at
$4,000 a year, plus a commission OF
S cents a bale up to the first l,0OO,-

We are proud Of him." Henry answered
Il voted for the Farm Board act be-

an equal basis with other industries, y
Senator McKellar declared, but voted
for it under protest"
Your idea was to help the farmer
not to monopolize the entire cotton In
dustry. That purpose has been ignored
by the Farm Board. The board has
dealt in futures. Its effort to take
over the entire cotton industry Is in
defensible.

Representative Driver, Democrat. of
Arkansas, told the committee that the

''Stabilizing operations Of the board

VERDICT AWAITED
BY 3 POLICEMEN
MineoIa Jury Retires on Conn.,
pIetion of Third Degree
Case Evidence.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINEOLA, N. Y. August 27-Three
Nassau County policemen, accused of
beating a prisoner to death while at
tempting to wiring a confession from
him, tonight awaited the verdict of
jury that heard manslaughter charges
against them.
The officers. Deputy Chief Frank j.
Tappen and Detectives Leslie w. Pear
sail and Harry w. Zander, were re-
manded to the sheriff's custody when
the jury retired at sos pm. Eastern
standard time), to consider four days
testimony. They had been free on bail.
From the court room where they were
tried. they could look across the street
to the modern police headquarters
where Hyman Stark. robbery suspect,
was "shellacked" to death on July IS.
Range Of Instructions.
The jury was told it might acquit any
one, two or three of the defendants or
convict them on charges of first or
second degree manslaughter, or sec
ond or third degree assault.
The maximum penalty for flrst-degree
manslaughter is 20 years Imprisonment.
Another outgrowth of Stark's death
is the scheduled trial on September o
of 10 other policemen on assault
charges.
District Attorney Elvin N. Edwards
said the assault charges would be trled
regardless of the outcome Of the present
case.
The Jury had two distinct versions of
Stark's death to choose from.
District Attorney Edwards charged
that Tappen had stood upon and rocked
on Stark's neck and caused his death
by fracturing a cartilage and bringing
about aSphyxiation.
Defense Counsel George M. Levy and
Charles r. Weeks declared the prisoner
was fatally injured by a detective not
on trial, a man whose mother Stark was
accused of beating and robbing.
In this, Weeks implied, the detective,
Joseph Hizenski. was entitled to some
Justification.
1T is all right for people to sit by
their firesideS." he argued, land say 1t
is a terrible thing for some one to take
the law into his own hands. But when
1t comes right home, mans self
restraint has got to be thousand times
greater to keep him from taking the law
into his own hands"
Responsibility Not Shown"
Both defense lawyers said they did
not dispute the fact that Stark had
been beaten, but they contended there
was no proof that the three defendants
were responsible. The evidence, they
said, was purely circumstantial.
Edwards denounced the defendants
story as an alibi.
"Tney all admit this man was killed"

Edwards said. beaten to death in po-
lice headquarters, but they say some
one else must have done it."
The prosecutor termed it a "tre-
mendous coincidence" that Tappen had
suffered a sprained ankle when, as he
said, he slipped on stairway the same
day Stark was killed.
He declared that in his opinion
Hizenski never went near the prisoner
and the whole story was concocted
because he might have had some JUS
tification for attacking Stark"

 The cooperation of every family in the city is urged by the young people in charge of the drive. They are anxious that every house on every street respond one hun dred per cent.

New Haven Wins
 Hard Fought Suit
U. s. Supreme Court Re- verses $5O,OO0 Award
 to Injured EmplOye

The United States supreme court yesterday afternoon reversed the award of $5O,00O to Clarence Bezue a round-house employe of the New Haven railroad in his action brought under the federal employ CTS liability act, for personal in- juries sustained September 2, 1929, at Maybrook, N. Y. Bezue was awarded verdict of $60,000 at the original trial in Putnam county, New York. This amount was reduced to $50,0OO on appeal to the appellate division, and the court of appeals affirmed the lat ter judgment.
 The railroad company appealed to the supreme court on the ground that Bezue was working on To- comotive which was out of service and even though the locomotive had been used in interstate conn merce, was not so engaged at the time, and therefore that Bezue was not engaged in interstate commerce and the federal employers liabili- ty act did not apply.
 This contention was borne out by the decision of the supreme court. Thomas J. O'Neil repre- scented the pla ntiff while Dr J. M. Gibbons and F.. R. Brumley repre- scented the New Haven railroad.
