All music lovers remember the Bee

was an outstanding success. This SYM

ploits of Beethoven's contemporary,
Napoleon Bonaparte, In whom Bee

Hberator of mankind from the tyranny
of oppressive rulers. When the COM

that Napoleon was abusing his power

destroyed the dedication in anger, but
the great symphony remained no less

CONFER ABOUT
TOBACCO WOE
Virginia Crisis Up at Farley
Here, With Price Problem
Seen as Topic

Gov. John Garland Pollard OF
Virginia arrived in Washington
today to confer with officials OF
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad.
miniStration on the crisis facing
Virginia tobacco growers because
Of the diSorganized market.
Accompanying Governor Pollard
were Senator Harry F. Byrd OF
Virginia, and representatives of
Virginia tobacco growers and
buyers.
It was indicated that Governor
Pollard seeks the assistance of
the AAA in solving the low-price
problem, and other troubles en-.
countered with the opening of the
dark and fire-cured tobacco mar.
kets in his State.
Hint. GrOwer-Buyer Pact
One way Of accomplishing this,
it was pointed out by AAA OBJ.
servers, would be to create an
emergency marketing agreement
among growers and buyers, where
by prices could be fixed and
limited amounts Of Salable to-
bacco allotted to each grower.
Governor Pollard'S unexpected
visit here followed threats by Vir-
ginia tobacco figures to close all
markets.
He was scheduled to confer
briefly with Chester Davis, newly
appointed AAA administrator,
and officials Of the tobacco Sec
ton, including J. B. Hutson,
chief.
Crop Limit Set
The only steps taken by the
AAA so Ear to assist Virginia
tobacco producers are the various
reduction drives, including the
recently announced fire-cured
tobacco campaign.
Under this plan, growers in
Kentucky, Tennessee, and Vir-
ginia are asked to limit their 1884
crops to 100000 pounds, for
which they will receive benefit
payments Of $1,700,000 from the
Government.

BY JOHN E. TAYLOR

Public schools, one Of the pillars
.of any civilized community which
: expects to continue civilized, are
a sad picture in Virginia under
the present form Of county gov
eminent.
Some reforms have been at
s tempted in the form of the county
unit plan, yet the present method
rof administering the schools is
not only cumbersome, but is costly
and irresponsible in its results.
q There seems to be little cor
! relation between educational costs
/, in the different counties and
Z the preparation Of teachers or the
effectiveness Of the school work.
Officials Clash
In some counties serious fric-
ton has developed between the
school board and the board of
g, supervisors, and the result has
been to set up the school ad-
ministration practically as an
independent division Of the county
government.
: Also, the school budget is not
: correlated with the general
: county budget, and while the
board Of supervisors possesses the
power to control through the tax
levy, the school board sometimes
proceeds independently to carry
2 out its plans and to make obliga-
lions which the county, OF course,
must ultimately meet.
& School work in Virginia is un-
!, der the immediate administrative
direction Of division superin-
tendent, who, under a constitu.
tional amendment Of 1928, is ap-
pointed by a county school board
:; from a list of eligibles certified
: by the State Board of Education.
This board is appointed by a
. school trustee electoral board in
= each county which latter board
, is appointed by the judge Of the
Circuit Court, the Judge being in
turn elected by the State legsila-
ture.
Commission Hits System
In its report, the commission on
county government said:
without attempting to ex-
plain the reasons for such an
organization, for which there is
no legitimate defense, it may
, be pertinently observed that
under this organization the
county officials directly respOn-
: sibIe to the people have prac-
tically no part in local school
administration"
The annual cost of operating
the schools in the counties is
about half of the total expenses
of the county governments. The
report already quoted continued:

factory and irresponsible phases

ris Wampler, Washington attor.
ney charged with violation of the
income tax law, resumed the wit
ness stand today for further cross
examination at the hands Of
United States Attorney Simon E.
Sobeloff.
Wampler charged yesterday
that Edward B. Dean, Washing
ton real estate operator, had
threatened to have him PROSE-
cuted for tax violation.
This threat was made, Wamp-
Ter said, after he had refused to
defend Dean when he was 40.
cused Of attempting to assault q
12-year-old girl.
Threatened in 1881
Wampler said:
Dean stated that if did
not represent him in this case,
he had lots of checks he had
given me to settle cases for
him and he would take them
to the income tax bureau and
have me prosecuted for income
tax violations"
This happened in August, 1881.
and the Government investiga-
ton started the following Novern-
Der, he testified.
Wampler said that in addition
to handling seven or eight cases
involving women, he handled q
number Of civil suits connected
with Deans business. He claimed
that in each case he had used
all the money given him to
settle the charges or returned the
balance to Dean.
Kept Money, Charge
The Government contends that
Wampler retained a large part Of
the money that Dean had given
him to settle the claims brought
by the women.
Wampler denied the charge Of
some of the Government wit
nesses that he had arranged to
send the women to Dean and split
the settlement money.
In croSs-eXamination, Mr.. Sobel.
off asked about a discrepancy in
dates on releases held by Wampler
in the case of Beatrice Cornelius
who had brought charges against
Dean.
Wampler claimed he settled with
her for $4,000, while the Govern
ment contends that he settled for
SIS, 900 and when Dean learned Of
this arranged to have a receipt for
$4,000 given him by Abner Siegal,
