LA TOILETTE SPEAKS.
Will Campaign as Supporter Of
Roosevelt.

Will Campaign as Supporter Of
Roosevelt.
FOND DU LAC, Wis, May 10 GP.-
Wisconsin Progressives today created
a new political party to be led in bat
tie this year by Senator Robert M.
La Toilette, jr., who Is up for re-
election. The new organization will
be known as "the Progressive party"
retaining the label which the late
Senator Robert M. La Toilette applied
to that branch of the Republican
party, which he headed many years.
Senator Robert M. La Toilette, jr.,
will campaign under the new party
label as a supporter OF President
Roosevelt. He SO indicated in a
speech which he made to the new
party conference late today.
La Toilette Gives Cue.
In the State campaign, however,
the new political alignment, which
will select its candidates for State
Offices at a later date, will turn its
guns on the Democratic Schmedeman
administration, and Senator La Fol-
lette gave his audience the cue when
ne said:
THE same reactionary interests
that dominated the Republican party
are now reaching out for control of
the Democratic party through the
State and congressional elections of
1884.
"They will have their candidates
in the primaries, masquerading as
supporters of President Roosevelt and
hiding under the cloak of his popu-
larity. They have already crept into
the machinery of the party in many
States. In Wisconsin as elsewhere
Democratic Office holders have made
common cause with utility corpora
tions and other interests which pro-
gressives of both parties have fought
at Washington"
Senator La Toilette espolsed the
Roosevelt policies with this state
ment:
"Let us look the facts in the face
and take a realistic view of the polit-
ical conditions that confront us. The
leading Progressives of this country
in 1892 openly advocated the election
Of Franklin D. Roosevelt as a Pro-
gressive Democrat. With the support
Of millions of Progressives and inde-
pendent voters, he carried Wisconsin
and other States where the Demo-
cratic organization was discredited
and feeble minority.
Achievements Laid to PrOgressives.
President Roosevelt was nominated
and elected because the people be-
lieved him to be a man who could
not be controlled by reactionaries in
his own party nor by selfish and
corrupt groups that have always
sought to manipulate party machinery
in their own interests.
"No one can deny that the principal
achievements of the present admin
istration had their origin in years Of
effort by progressives of both parties
and have been accomplished since
March 4, 1888. by active cooperation
between the President and progress
sive Senators and Representatives
within and without the Democratic
party"

The creation of a third political

independent political organization in

party has dominated Minnesota for
a number of years. So far there has
been nothing to indicate that hook

to count upon the support of the La
Toilette Progressives. They may con-
tinue to go along and support their
own candidates. leaving the victory to
the ProgresSives or to the Republican
regulars in the general election, or
they may go back to the La Follettes
in the hope Of preventing a Republi-
can victory in the State. The regular
Republicans. it seems clear, stand a
far better chance Of winning there If
the opposition be divided into two
camps, Progressive and Democratic.
The La Follettes have, generally
speaking. stuck by the Republican
party for many years. An exception
occurred In 1924 when the late Sena-
tor Robert M. La Toilette, father of
the present Senator. and father, too,
OF the Progressive movement in Wis
consin, became an independent Pro-
gressive candidate for President
against the late President Coolidge
and John w. Davis, the Democratic
nominee. La Toilette in that election
polled about 100000 votes. but the
only State he carried was Wisconsin.
which stood by him loyalty. Now it
appears that the two sons of the late
Senator. the present Senator and the
former Governor, Philip. have def
nitely broken with the G. o. P. and
will press the formation of the new
political party.

TO ISSUE EAGLES
New Order Ends Exemption
for SmalI-ToWn Re-

N r. A. yesterday gave up trying
to distribute the new code Blue Eagles
by itself and told all code authorities
to take over the job. A congestion
of applications at N. r. A. district
Offices had made it almost impossible
to get the emblems out.
At the same time, an order was Is
sued by President Roosevelt curtail-
ing the old exemption OF small re-
tailers and service establishments in
towns under $500 from code rules.
From now on, they will be expected
to comply with the ban on child labor
and with all fair-trade provisions Of
codes.
A separate order allowed exemption
from payment of code authority as
sessments for firms to which pay
ment would cause hardship. Nom
payment of assessments In industries
which have obtained N. r. A. approval
of their budgets and collections is a
code violation for which the eagle
may be removed, but 80 far only 10
code groups have obtained that ap-
proval: Retail trade, retail grocery.
wholesale grocery, retail coal, retail
drugs, retail jewelry, electric indus
trial truck manufacturing, chain man
ufacturing, hand hoist manufacturing
and date packing.
No other code authorities can re-
quire payment Of assessments until
N. r. A. acts.
The Government agency originally
undertook to distribute the eagles on
it's own over the protests of code
authorities, and did so with the fear
that otherwise local boards Of In
dustry would be in position 10 en-
gage in discrimination against some
firms by withholding eagles without
Official determination, but the
amount of clerical work involved

CUTTEN MAY TEST
RULE ON. TRADING
Constitutional Questions De.
CIared Involved in Dis
barment Case.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May ls.-Stuns by the
Governments evidence that he was
frequently Q short seller" Arthur w.
Cutten. famous grain trader, was ex-
pected to challenge market regulation
In the courts.
There are constitutional questions
in this case" said Orville j. Taylor,
Cutten's attorney in the disbarment
proceedings against the trader. (which
will have to be decided by the Su-
preme Court"
Asking that Cutten be banished
from all futures trading, on the ground
that he cloaked gigantic operations In
secrecy, the Grain Futures Administra-
ton has launched q case designed to
show that Cutten commonly sold the
market down" in 1880. 1881 and earlier
and was not the bull" operator be was
reputed to be.
Full Test Not.Made.
The rule in question-one requiring
grain deals as big as SOC, 900 bushels to
be reported to the Grain Futures Ad-
ministration, set up to police the mar
kets against corners and price manipu-
lation-fas not been tested in court
against an individual. The Govern
ment's right to require the individuals
brokers to report has been upheld.
The case centered on the years In
which the Federal Farm Board was
putting millions into the grain mar
kets to bolster prices. and was the
first open investigation of what the
big traders were doing at that time.
Answering the charge OF short SELL
ing, Cutten's attorney has attempted
to show that whenever Cutten made
a gigantic sale of grain, he became
a potential customer for an equal
amount. The court fight which looms
may bring out new arguments over
the social value or danger of short
selling.
Size Also an Issue
Also an issue was how much grain
a trader could control without en-
dangering prices, and at what point
a trader becomes 'too big" for the
markets safety. Rules of the Chi
cago Board of Trade entitle It's Busl-
ness Conduct Committee to know
when a trader has an open interest"
of 100000 bushels-has promised
either to sell or buy that much.
The Governments rules set no limit
on holdings, requiring only that the
trader report, in confidence, to the
Government agents. Pending legisla-
ton would limit holdings for the first
time. The Jones bill, now under
consideration, would make 100000
bushels the most any trader could
control.
Always the foe of regulation. Cut
ten nevertheless complied with the
reporting requirements, the Govern
ment contended, for a while. He
made no reports in 1880. it was
charged. although his deals-prin-
cipally in wheat-totaled more than
lOO. 900. 900 bushels.

SETTLEMENT ENDS|
WAR OVER LET|C|A|
Peru and Colombia Agree
to Observe Existing
Treaties.
By the Associated Fress.

By the Associated Fress.
RIO DE JANE1RO, May 19.-Rep-
resentatives of Peru and Colombia
today reached a peaceful settlement
of the differences between their ma
tions over the jungle border village
of Ieticia and thus dissipated a war
cloud which has hung over South
America for 20 months.
The formula for the settlement,
drafted by Afranio de Mello Franco,
foreign minister of Brazil, pledges
both nations to observe all existing
treaties; provides for arbitration and
appeal tribunals, and lays the ground
work for accords on all disputed
questions.
Quick ratification of the agreement
by his government was predicted by
Luis Cano, Colombian representative
in the negotiations, and former
Peruvian Premier Jorge Prado Ugar-
teche said his nation already has
given its approval through the crea-
tion of the Consultative Commission
which met with Colombian represent
stives.
One of the first steps in carrying
out the formula will be the establish
ment of a mixed commission to de-
militarize Leticia and handle any
differences that arise.
The strife over Leticia began late
in 1882 when a Peruvian expedition
seized the village, charging that
Colombia, to whom it passed by treaty
in 1922, had not taken enough In
terest in it to care properly for the
inhabitants.

BARROW REPORT
RESULT AWAITED
N. R. A. Center of Attention
of Economists and
Strategists.

The attention OF administration
economists and political strategists
centered on the N. r. A. yesterday in
anticipation of the results which may
flow from the publication Of the Dar-
row boards report on the effect OF
N. r. A. codes on small business men.
The Darrow report and the reply Of
the N. r. A. will be published to-
morrow. AS both have been placed in
the hands Of the press, hints as to
their contents are forbidden. but
neither side has made any attempt
to conceal the fact that this written
debate is couched In trenchant, even
savage, language.
Whether the result will be political
explosion or a mere passing inter-
change of invectives from which the
public will be unable to obtain any
clear conception of what has gone on
In the N. r. A. Is point on which
the economists and politicians are
debating
Urge Attention by President.
But whether or not the Darrow re-
port forces the ssue, administration
leaders are con, fnced the N. r. A.
must undergo drastic administrative
revision, and an increasing number
Of them have been urging the Presi-
dent to give the problem his detailed
personal attention as soon as Congress
has adjourned. II Congress adjourns
on June S, he will have two weeks
or so to do that before he leaves on
his cruise to Hawaii.
II Is possible that more progress
than has been evident has been made
behind the scenes toward working out
the N. r. A. policy for the coming
year. But. although there is a con-
siderable measure of agreement on at
least a few of the things which must
be done, little has happened to en-
courage those members of the admin
istration who look on the N. r. A. as
one Of the corner stones of the new
deal and who fear that it is being
chipped away through hack of intelli-
gent and co-ordinated policy.
The N. r. A. took several minor
steps yesterday which might be inter-
pret4d as an effort to put its house in
order in anticipation Of the Darrow
report.
Censorship Revoked.
First. Gen. Hugh S. johnson revoked
the censorship orders which had re-
quired the press to obtain all of its
information from the publicity head
quarters of the N. r. A. Division ad-
ministrators will now be allowed to
give information to reporters, although
matters Of policy will be referred, as in
the past, to Gen. johnson or his gen.
eral counsel, Donald r. Richberg.
Second. an executive order signed
by the President exempted employers
in the retail and service industries in
towns of $500 or less from compliance
with the wage and hour, minimum
price, and assessment provisions Of
their respective codes and of the Presi-
dents Unemployment agreement. They
are required to comply with the child
labor and trade practice provisions of
their codes.
A previous executive order, 1t was
stated at the N. r. A. had exempted
employers in towns of $500 or less
from compliance with any of the pro-
visions of the codes or unemployment
agreement.
Third, the issue of the new code
Blue Eagles was placed in the hands
of code authorities. The removal Of
Blue Eagles will continue to remain q

- the home is frequently diff
cult problem. But IN the case
IL of the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mark A. May of Hamden,
Conn, it was solved In successful
fashion.
The original house, as shown in the
before" picture, was superior to the
average Of its class, although the en-
trance portico was rather poorly de-
signed. The new wing, with its plas
tered first story and lowered roof
line. merges into the main portion
perfectly, and enhances the entire
structure.
The revised treatment Of the front
entrance and of the chimneys Is
also worthy of study.
Yard improvements included the
addition Of stepping stones to the
rear porch and a cornfield In the rear
was transformed into a lovely flower
garden. Paintings of shrubbery,
trees, and vines were made.
The outstanding significance Of this
remodeling job was that the new
addition is architecturally correct and
IN perfect harmony with the house
