SHOOTING STARS,
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Intrusion.
One trouble they say will bring more
on the way;
Contentment we can't hope to win.
We have roars of dismay and the deuce
is to pay
Now Vesuvius starts to butt in!
Eruptions Of wrath block a peaceable
path.
We walk on crust that is thin.
Some wild aftermath each predicament
hath
Now Vesuvius starts to butt in!
We have fireworks enough and the
games getting rough
In these days of excitement and sin.
It seems just a bluf-most inferior
stuff
Now Vesuvius starts to butt in!

sentatives also have seen the hand
writing on the wall, but theirs is a
different perspective. They know the
effect on their potential vote in the
next election, whenever that is, every
time there is foreclosure that might
have been prevented by extension of
Government credit. But 1t is going to
be well into the Summer before Con-
gress can compose the 435 ideas in the
House and the SO in the Senate into
legislative shape. So at the moment
Congress is behind in the race.
And yet. 1t may be Of no consequence
which side wins. Senator Barkley of
Kentucky and Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, for instance, believe the
movement in Congress to extend Gov
eminent credit machinery for mortgage
relief has already had an influence;
That IS, they believe the widespread
some other holders of funds for in
vestment, in going easy with maturing
or delinquent mortgages IS result,
partially at least, of the concerted drive
in Congress.
There are going to be foreclosures,
Of course. There will be thousands of
them. Those most active In promoting
the mortgage relief legislation say that.
Charles G. Henry Of Memphis, speak
ing the other day before the Senate
committee having the matter in charge,
said he thought actually that there ought
to be some foreclosures. Such q course
was the best for all concerned in those
particular cases. Mr.. Henry spoke as
chairman Of the Credit Committee of
the major farm organizations in sup
porting legislation to create an emer-
gency fund of 81 1.000, ,000, 900 with which
to pay OF matured farm mortgages.
There are farm mortgages totaling
about $9,500,000,000 in the country.
Paul Bestor, commissioner Of the Fed
eral Farm Loan System, says about As
per cent of the farm lands are under
mortgages. About SO per cent Of the
mortgaged land, Mr.. Bestor says, is
amply secured. Perhaps one-half of
the remainder has a value about equal
to the face Of the mortgage and the
rest OF the mortgages are worth any
where from rs to 10 cents on the
dollar.
So It becomes obvious that, with
commodity prices at the lowest level In
half q century, with tax burdens con-
tinuing and no income for the farmers
to use in paying the taxes or the In
terest on their mortgages, something
has to be done to remove the strain.
Congress possibly has prodded business
into realization Of the situation, but
the information here is that business
once more is taking the lead In solving
its own problems. The consensus Is
that II u moves fast enough and goes
far enough In the direction now headed
there viii be much less legislation on
the subject.

Slackening Up on
Farm Foreclosures
BY HARDEN COLFAx.

Judging from the information sitting
through to the Capitol, there Is big
race on between the insurance COM
panies and Congress to see which can
first accomplish q cessation in fore
closure Of mortgages on farm lands, in
so far as each can influence that sit
uation.
It appears that the insurance COM
panies are leading. There are only 20
sion OF Congress. On the basis Of rec
ords Of other short sessions, 1t is too
much to expect that Congress will
enact any important mortgage relief
legislation in that space of time.
In the meantime the efforts of the
insurance companies are receiving wide
spread approval and encouragement
and q powerful ally has appeared in
the person of the controller of the cur
rency, who has q rather direct influence
with national banks. The controller
cannot compel national banks to 60
easy on maturing mortgages, but where
the banks are in receivership he can
tell the receivers what to do. Current
reports are that he has told the re-
ceivers that there shall be no fore
II no other method Of refnancing can
be found.

As to the race between the insurance
companies and Congress, each has seen
certain handwriting on the wall. The
insurance companies. first of all, don't
want the land they would obtain by
foreclosure and they foresee vast hold
ings of it unless their practices are
changed. Next, they foresee action by
Congress going far beyond anything
with pleasant taste If there is no let
up In the demand from far and wide
for relief Of some kind from the tre-
mendous pressure, the harrassment,
that Is felt by Q delinquent debtor.

 clusively the ability of the United States by independent action under the enactment of the Wheeler bill, to maintain the parity of 16 to l as provid- ed for in said bill.
 These facts also absolutely disprove any claim that the United States under the enact ment of the Wheeler bill would become the dumping ground for the worlds silver or that silver-the cheaper metal would drive out gold, the dear CT metal Gin the frequent at- tempted misapplication of the Gresham law )for the reason that neither metal would be cheaper or dearer because of the unlimited demand (com- pared with natures limited supply) created for both met als resultant from the free and unlimited coinage of the same by the United States mint at the fixed values for each metal as provided for under the Wheeler bill.
 The claim of some of the gold monometallists that China, In- dia, and other nations that for many centuries have Il l y known silver as their financial yardstick, would dump their silver on the market of the United States under the enact ment of the Wheeler bill is too aEGurd and asinine to justify even consideration. Imagine these nations, representing f ,1 more than half the population of the civilized world-volun- tarily divesting themselves oi their only known financial yardstick in their domestic and foreign commerce, thereby ne ceseitating cessation of all 'lo' mestic business among hem selves or foreign trade witf other nations of the world.
 Let me call your attention al so to the fact that if we inde pendently and alone should re monetize silver we would i'm mediately take away iron Great Britain, France, and Ger many the trade they now en

profiting in her foreign trade oy reason of it. Is there any one so naive as to believe that England would not be forced to adopt bimetallism when she saw her trade in those count ries coming to America? Why must we wait on England; why not take the lead?
 Under what is known as the reconciliation of silver on the basis of 16 to 1, the govern ment does not purchase the sil- yer or the gold. It simply re- ceives the bullion at the mt. After that it is brought to the proper standard of fineness for coins, and if the bullion re- quires to be refined the gov ernment makes a charge equal to the cost of bringing the met al to standard fineness that is nine-tenths fine. Then the gov ernment puts it's stamp on each piece and turns the coins over to the depositor, and that is all there is to it.
 Or the government may, if it has the coin on hand, at once deliver the coin to the deposit or for the bullion; but the gov ernment in no proper sense buys the bullion or does it be- come the owner of it. The bull lion and the coin made from the bullion belong to the depos- tor. Separate provision, how ever, has been made on account of the greater convenience of paper circulation, for the issue of notes, dollar for dollar, for the coin or bullion, which in that case the government holds in trust for whoever holds the notes of certificates.
 In our United States coinage 23.22 grains of fine gold con- stitute a dollar, namely $20.67 per fine ounce for gold and 371.25 grains of fine silver constitute a dollar, or S1.29 and 29-100 per ounce for fine silver. The Wheeler bill adopts the same coinage value by pro- viding under section 3:
 The dollar consisting of 25.9 grains of gold nine-tenths fine, or 412.5 grains of silver
 nine-tenths fine, shall be the
 standard unit of value, *. --*.
 Fer many centuries silver and
 gold have been the only pri-
 mary money metals of the en-
 tire civilized world. There is
 no known compilation giving
 the amount of gold and silver in the world at the present time.

He was born in Pennsylvania 73

schools of West Virginia, and started
work in the oil fields of that State
under direction of his father. At the
age of 20 he went to Leadville, Colo,
and prospected. He travelled on to

the importance Of the Islands both
geographically and agriculturally. He

IN CUBA FAVORED
Representative Fish Will De.
mand End of "Reign
of Terror"
By the Associated Press.


Representative Fish, Republican, OF
New York wants the American Govern
ment to employ diplomatic intervention
to end the reign of terror in Cuba"
He said last night that he would "de-
rand" that Secretary Hull take such a
step unless the administration takes
action within week or 10 days"
The Cuban reign of terror, with
people being shot down in cold blood.
the New Yorker asserted, "is one Of the
most important things that could con-
front this country"
Wants "Strong" Ambassador,
The one thing to do, Fish said, Is to
send strong Ambassador to Cuba, u
adding that he already had discussed
the situation with State Department
officials.
Nothing has been done in Cuba
where men are being shot down, the
press suppressed and where there is no
such thing as liberty. The reason is
simply that there are 1000 Cubans and
100000 Jews.
Il can't see the use Of sending notes
to Japan about Manchuria, where we
have only few million dollars invested.
and saying nothing about Cuba, where
Americans own three-quarters Of the
property.
Action Demanded.
- There is just one thing to do-send
"a strong Ambassador to Cuba and have
him inform President Machado that the
state Of terror has to cease and that
he must step aside for a provisional
president to be appointed by himself
who would be a neutral between the
warning factions. Then an election
must be called to amend the constitu-
ton.
Il am opposed to Intervention by
armed force, but mere words from the
United States should be sufficient to
bring about the desired result"

NAVY TO ABANDON
SEARCH FOR AKRON
Will Give Up Quest Wednes-
day Unless More Success Is
Attained Meanwhile.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy will abandon its search
for the Akron Wednesday unless search
ing craft are more successful meanwhile
in combing tAs Atlantic off Barnegat
Admiral William v. Pratt, chief of
naval operations. said last night that
pieces of the dirigible's outer covering
were found yesterday afternoon within
10-mile area of the spot where the
airship plunged into the ocean, carry
ing 73 men to their deaths.
Pratt said he was hopeful that yes
terday's find would lead to recovery of
the main part of the airship, but that
if no more wreckage is found by We'd
nesday the search would be called of
as hopeless.
Court to Reconvene.
The Navy's court of inquiry which
has been sitting at Lakehurst, N. j.,
will be reconvened here tomorrow to
finish its investigation into the Akron
disaster and also the crash of the
blimp J-3.
We have been combing this area in
tensely." Pratt said. I'VE have searched
and searched over it, and are hopeful
that yesterdays find may mean that we
have at last located the spot where the
main part of the ship is resting.
"Of course, if this discovery is pro-
ductive we will continue our search
as long as necessary.
But unless we find more OF the
wreckage by Wednesday we will give
orders to abandon the search. Unless
successful by then it locks hopeless"
Admiral Pratt said the standing or
ders now out were that the searching
ships continue their work during every
minute that weather permitted. He
said he presumed the find today would
spur on the search during tonight II
the weather off the coast would allow 1t.
Even as these disclosures were made
tonight, plans went forward to con-
tinue the naval court of inquiry into
the Akron disaster Tuesday at the navy
yard here.
Inquiry Concluded.
The inquiry court, which has been
holding sessions at the Lakehurst, N. j.
base of the Akron before its crash, con-
cluded its work there Saturday. Inves-
tigation was made not only into the
larger airship's fall, but also the wreck
ing of the blimp J-3 off Beach Haven,
N. j., while searching for survivors OF
the Akron.
Admiral Pratt's statement last night
was taken to mean that unless the
search uncovers more of the wreckage
before Wednesday, the bodies which
have not been recovered of the 73 who
died in the Akron's plunge will remain
in their present watery grave.
Although official statements were
lacking, it was assumed here that If
the bodies of the men remained In the
sea a solemn funeral ceremony would
be held over the spot where the great
est airship tragedy in history occurred.
