FARM MISHAPS.

COLLEGE PARK, Md, May
19.-In line with the nation
wide survey to determine the
accident conditions on farms of
the country, the Maryland Elk
tension Service of the University
of Maryland is conducting a sur
vey to find the extent and dam
age of rural accidents in Mary
land.
DR.. T, B. symons, director of
the Extension Service, who is
heading the survey, yesterday
quoted the National Safety Coun-
Gil in saying more than twice
as many persons met accidental
death in their homes during
1884 as were killed by accidents
in all kinds of gainful occupa-
tons" He stated that there are
in the neighborhood of 5,000.-
900 non-fatal home injuries in
this country each year. includ-
ing about 100000 which result
in permanent disability.
DR.. Symons said:
AN alarming number of
rural people meet accidental
death, or are partially or to-
tally disabled for long periods
through injuries received in
their homes and on their
farms. Figures collected from
an adjoining State on the
number of persons injured in
farm accidents showed the
amazing total loss of 132,934
days. or the equivalent of $50
years of lost labor by persons
thus disabled"

most exactly the same amount per
share. The company disbursed $685.
724, 1886 in dividends, equal to $3.45
per share.
For picture Of the 1925 and 1888
relationship between total taxes, net
profits and cash dividends, the ac-
companying table contains compare
tive figures. Wages to labor were not
available for these groups, but COM
pensation to management-salaries to
executives-is listed for the 1888 re-
turns. The statistics were compiled
by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
In the 1888 figures, 446, 6,842 corpo-
rations are included in aggregate re-
turns. Heavy earnings of some of
these concerns enabled them to pay
total dividends of more than $3,000,-
100000. but the balance Of profits
against losses showed the net "prof1t"
really deficit of more than $1.000,-
100000 for the group. This situation
was most noticeably true in the man
ufacturing and transportation and
utility groups, where dividends paid
by comparatively few Of the COM
panies far exceeded net profits Of all
companies.

The und!sturbed corporate income

the corporations shunt into reserves

which become taxable through the in

have been distributed ultimately in the

SENATORS CLASH

Senators clashed angrily yesterday
as committee heard q charge that
the immigration service was lobby
ing" for greater discretionary authority
in deporting undesirable" aliens.
H. L. Chaillaux, national director
of Americanism for the American
Legion. declared immigration service
agents were making speeches in favor
Of the Coolidge-K Kerr bill for deporta-
ton Of foreign-born criminals because
it would give the department more
discretion than rival bill by Senator
Reynolds, Democrat, Of North Caro-
lima.
1T is unfair for them to 20 about
the country advocating this BILL" said
Chaillaux. "They ought to 60 back
on their jobs"
Earlier Senator Reynolds had pro-
tested that witnesses opposing the
Coolidge-Kerr bill were being "cut
short" on their time before the Sen
ate immigration Committee.
III the witnesses are to be rushed"
he said, III they are not to be availed
OF an opportunity to talk and others
are not to be allowed to question
these witnesses, perhaps the best
thing to do is to withdraw"
"The complaint is wholly unwar-
ranted," snapped Senator King, Demo-
crat, of Utah.
Reynolds protested nevertheless that
the witnesses had been told to keep
their statements short.
"The Senator is not running this
committee" said King.
i recognize I am just a guest"

Reynolds began, his face reddening.
"Then act as guest" King inter-
rupted. =
Chairman Coolidge, Democrat, of
Massachusetts, smoothed over the
breach by asserting 1t was necessary
to speed the hearing to q conclusion
because Of difhculty In getting o
quorum during times Of heavy Senate

Coolidge assured Reynolds his bill
would be considered later by the COM
mittee, and II the time permitted

D. {. TO REOPEN
WPA SCHOOLS

Eight or possibly nine" of the
nursery schools financed through
District WPA funds will reopen
Monday, it was announced today
by District officials.
Each school requires teacher.
a dietitian and nurse. Plans
to reopen the schools sooner re-
ceived a setback when the neces-
Sary personnel could not be found
on the District relief rolls.
However, it was announced to-
day by Ross Haworth, secretary
to Commissioner George E. Allen,
and William C. Cleary, deputy
PWA administrator, that suffi-
cient personnel had been found
to reopen eight of the schools
and it was hoped additional help
could be found to reopen the
ninth on Monday. The entire
program calls for 10 schools, five
white and five colored.
The schools are for the children
of parents who are employed or
are on relief. The children are
cared for during the day.

Rep. Cannon to Stay
In Charge Of Local
Money Bills

While Senator william H. King
CD Of Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, was
clearing path today for prompt
action on the first three bills sub
mitted by the District Commits
sioners, it was definitely an
nounced on the House side Of the
Capitol that Representative Clar-
ence Cannon CD Of Missouri will
remain as chairman Of the House
Appropriations Subcommittee han
ding District appropriations.
During the past few weeks it
has been suggested that the Mis-
sourian, regarded as friendly to
the Districts interests, probably
would be so busy guiding the agri-
culture appropriation bill through
the House that he would not have
time to take charge Of the District
measure. Reports said the duty
would be assigned to Representa-
tive Thomas L. Blanton CD Of
Texas, ranking member Of the
subcommittee.

Stakeholder in Transit
Company Testifies at
P. u. 6. Hearing

Proposal Of Peoples Counsel
William A. Roberts to establish
municipal garages as a means Of
eliminating mass transportation
and traffic problems was bitterly
assailed as a 'Communistic policy
by Mrs. Gardner P. Orme, a
Capital Transit Company stock
holder, at the public hearing on
complaints against street car and
bus service before the Public
Utilities Commission. She said:
"The project proposed to
build city-Owned garages to
cure the parking situation
might achieve that end, park
ing and parking only, but it
would not cure our moving
traffic problem for it would
bring more cars into the down
town section of our already
too heavily burdened streets"
URGES PARKING BAN
She described the stakeholder
in a public utility as really the
forgotten man" Of today. She
declared that the Roberts pro-
posal would amount to putting the
District Government into business
against which private industry
could not compete and urged that
a ban against parking on the
streets be enacted.
Mrs. Orme ended her appeal
with declaration that she would
refuse to submit to this miser.
able, Scheming move Of socialistic
policies which would pierce every
resident of the District as if we
were practice targets" and which
would wreck the transit company.
Another stakeholder, Thomas j.
D. Fuller, 2317 Ashmead Pl. N.
W., declared in favor Of a high
street car and bus fare in the
District. After praising the COM
pany for making rapid improve
ments in service since the days
Of the horSe-carS, Mr.. Fuller de-
clared that the service today must
be generally satisfactory or the
patronage of car and bus lines
would not have increased as they
did.
One critic of the company ap-
peared. He was Adelbert w. Lee,
1886 Q st. S. E., past president
Of Randle Highlands Citizens
Association. He said the COM
pany is now using National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion land for a bus terminal at
Seventeenth Street and Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Southeast. He said
the land soon was to be taken
over by the commission and
urged that the company acquire
private property in the neighbor-
hood for a terminal.
Calls 1t Death Trap
Mr.. Lee also argued that Eighth
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue
Southeast has been turned into a
death trap" since the company
began using that intersection as
bus line terminal. He pointed
out the street car crossing at the
intersection carried heavy enough
traffic and recommended the bus
terminal be moved to Seventh
Street and the Avenue.
