the Anacostia River, which the court S

testing the election of Walter Ma
gruder, Fusionist, to the House of

this morning that he did not know
of his own knowledge If there was
any fraud or corruption in the last
November 6 election. His statement
came at the opening of a hearing
before Judge Donald A. Delashmutt.
DR.. Lewellyn Jordan of Takoma
Park and Imirie, Of Bethesda, Demo-
Gratis, are suing Joseph A. Cantrell
of Chevy Chase and Magruder Of
Gaithersburg. both Fusionists, who
both won out as members of the
House of Delegates.
Asked why he singled out Magruder
instead of Miss Ruth Shoemaker to
contest, Imirie said that he felt Miss
Shoemaker would have been elected
anyway.
Identifies Notes.
On the stand Imirie identified the
exchange of communications with Ma
gruder and the legal notes filed to
institute the present proceedings.
Counsel for Magruder objected to the
introduction of a memorial. which
| Imirie addressed to the House of
Delegates, Magruder's counsel claim
ing that Magruder had never seen
either the memorial or a copy of it
In all objections by counsel Judge
De Lashmutt stated that these OBJ.
| jections would have to be passed upon
| by the Elections Committee of the
House of Delegates.
Before Imirie took the stand Judge
De Lashmutt denied three motions by
| the defense in the celebrated election
cases growing out of the November G
elections in Montgomery County.
Beyond Jurisdiction.
Attorneys for Cantrell and Magruder
asked that the cases be tried sepa-
rately and not consolidated. Judge
De Lashmutt ruled that this was be-
yond his Jurisdiction and would have
to be decided by the House of Dele
gates.
Another motion by the attorneys for
Cantrell and Magruder asked that the
| names of these candidates on the Off
cial ballot be not placed, respec-
lively, as first and fourth, since in
the event of lost trial this would
make difference in their successors.
Judge De Lashmutt said this also was
question for the House of Dele
gates: that he is merely here to take
testimony.
A third motion asked that the cases
be postponed until after the adjourn
ment of the General Assembly, at
which Cantrell and Magruder are
supposed to be seated. Judge De
Lashmutt referred this also to the
House of Delegates.

TRADE FOR COTTON
IS SOUGHT ABROAD
Oscar Johnston to Confer
About Buying U. S. Farm
Products.
By the Associated Press.

~~SSS~Ae-sSN
Oscar Johnston, Mississippi cotton
planter, will sail Wednesday for Eu-
rope to talk with trade experts of sew
eral countries about buying more
American farm products, especially
cotton.
Johnston is one of the New Deals
most ardent internationalists.
Experienced in the law and banking
as well as cotton growing, he was made
director of finance for the agriculture
administration in May, 1893. Ever
since then he has contended restora-
ton of world trade is essential to per-
manent recovery for the American
farmer.
Seeks Normal Trade.
Johnston said today his efforts
abroad would be directed at restoring
normal world trade in this country's
farm products. Prospects for an in
ternational cotton agreement with
India. Egypt, Brazil and Argentina will
be discussed. The United States at
present has cotton surplus of $780,
900 bales.
Johnston, now director Of the A. A.
A. cotton producers pool and special
assistant on commodity loans to Sec
retary Morgenthau, asserted:
with our enormous territory we
must necessarily produce tremendous
surplus of raw materials over and above
the quantities necessary to feed and
cloth America. These materials must
be exported"
Should the United States discontinue
permanently the expectation of "con-
siderable quantities" of cotton, tobacco
pork, lard, lumber and other COM
modities," he said, 1--WE would throw
out Of employment millions of people
now engaged in the production OF
those commodities, we would disorgan-
ize the social economy Of millions OF
people, we would take out of cultiva-
ton to those crops 10000 900 or 40
000, 900 acres of land and would bring
lands now planted to those crops into
the production Of other crops, thus
disorganizing other. agricultural in
dustries throughout the country"
Dependent on World.
Prosperity in the United States is
linked inseparably with worldwide re-
covery, he said. I
I'm short, we cannot get well with
the balance of the world sick, and for
that reason it behooves us so to adjust
our economic life and laws as to pro-
mote worldwide welfare"

drew w. Mellon personally shapes the

day at Melons 100000 income tax
inquiry, the grayhaired former book

cier's income tax returns for 20 years,

Mr.. Mellon?"
Followed Policy.
can individual sale might have
been made, but it always was in line
with the policies set by Mr.. Mellon,
johnson answered.
Then Mr.. Mellon made these poll
cies entirely of his own accord?'
queried the attorney.
Correct" was the witness firm
answer.
Attorney jackson asked johnson II
Mellon always was in close touch with
his financial situation, and the secre-
tary said:
HE always was actually in charge,
with the qualification that while ne
was in Washington he did not have
the same close touch"
Salary of s15,4oo.
Jackson's cross-examination brought
from johnson the disclosure that he
received from the former Secretary OF
the Treasury an annual salary OF $15,-
400 since 1880, besides directors fees
for companies he served.
The Governments questioning was
an apparent attempt to establish that
Mellon himself was responsible for
the conduct Of his huge businesses.
The Government charges the f1nancier
filed q fraudulent income return In
1881, and claims he now owes 3d.
089, 900, but Mellon contends the Gov
ernment owes him $4,000 for over
paid taxes. The Board of Appeals
hearing went into its second week
today.
Brothers Linked.
Before turning his questioning
again on MELONS sale of 123,00o
shares of Pittsburgh Coal Co. stock
to the Union Trust Co., Jackson de-
veloped from the witness that Andrew
w. Mellon and r. B. Mellon, his late
brother, had offices in the Mellon
National Bank.
The Government claims the stock
sale was q faxed move to enable
Mellon to deduct income tax losses
and Is going into the business rela-
tionships Of the brothers in an at
tempt to trace various transactions.
Held Tax Free Bonds.
In reply to a query, johnson said
that in 1881 the financier had tax
free municipal bonds and Federal
bonds in his portfolio.
'The total of these ran into a good
deal Of money, didn't they?" asked
the attorney.
Yes"
No estimate of their value was made
by johnson.
II notice from the income return
there is no notice of interest received
from these" said Jackson.
Those items were not taxable and
are not returnable,", the witness an
