FRAT POLITICS.
CHARGE SPLITS
ND. U. CAMPUS
Recent Student Election
Attacked As Illegal

COLLEGE PARK, Md. May 9.
Charges of fraternity politics"
were rampant on the University
of Maryland campus this morn
ing as members of the executive
council of the Student Govern
ment Association sought to dis
parage allegations that they had
sponsored an illegal election two
weeks ago which resulted in tke
election of several favored" can
didates.
The disSension, which broke out
on the campus over the weekend,
apparently is rooted in the charge
that the presidents of the student
government association for the
last three terms have all come
from the same fraternity. A pc
tition, circulated by a group of
10" headed by George Watson, of
Towson, Md. senior lacrosse star,
and Robert Baker, of Washington,
editor of the campus newspaper,
charges the elections were uncon-
stitutional and asks for a new
election.
HEARING THURSDAY
According to hackers of the
petition, more than 600 students
have already signed and 300 more
are expected before the matter is
aired before special meeting of
the council Thursday evening.
Foremost of the newly elected
officials who may be ousted as a
result of the petition is Eddie
johnson, son of the famed Walter
johnson, former Washington
pitcher, who was named president
Of the association. Others affected
are the vice president of the asso-
citation, the secretary-treasurer.
president of the mems league, and
the president, vice president and
secretary-treasurer of the women's
league.
The petition charges the coun-
Gil held the annual elections only
four days after the candidates
were nominated, despite the fact
that the constitution specifies
two weeks shall be allotted for
campaigning purposes between the
time of nominations and elections.
OTHER CHARGES
Other charges that have
cropped out on the campus over
the week end are that the incull-
bent president, John Muncks, of
Baltimore, a member of Phi Delta
Theta fraternity, was sponsored
by his predecessor, Thomas Biz
mingham, a member of the same
fraternity, and that the ballots on
which he was elected were
counted IN their own fraternity
house.

SUNDAY FILMS
FOR ARLINGTON.
Get COURT TEST.
Ruling Due Tomorrow
On Theater's Plea

ARLINGTON, Va, May "a
Circuit Court jury will decide to-
morrow whether it is legal to show
motion pictures on Sunday in
Arlington county.
The Fairfax Corporation, oper-
ator Of the Wilson Theater, has
asked for declaratory judgment
on the question on the ground
that the State law, which prohibits
working or transacting business
on the Sabbath, does not apply to
films shown for entertainment.
SHERIFF DEFENDANT
Sheriff Howard B. Fields is the
defendant in the suit because Of
his action in ordering the theater
closed when it opened on Sunday,
July 4, 1887. He also threatened
the manager with arrest If the
theater were opened again on
Sunday.
In their petition, attorneys for
the theater point out that stores,
beer tavernS, athletic games at
which admission is charged and
golf clubs are permitted to oper-
ate on Sunday under the old Vir-
gfnia "blue law" in the light of
the present-day meaning of the
phrase work of necessity"
FILMS SHOWN ELSEWHERE
Although an Alexandria jury
convicted two theater operators
under the old law two years ago,
motion pictures are now being
shown in practically every section
of the Old Dominion, including
Richmond, the State capital.
The petitioner cites the fact
that Arlington citizens may attend
theaters in Washington on Sun
Gav.

Of about 12,212,0OO bales of 500
pounds gross weight, the Crop
Reporting Board forecast today
The condition Of the crop on
October was 66 per cent OF

lint cotton is 222.1 pounds pei
acre for harvest.
simultaneously, the Census Blu
reau issued a report showing
6,578,313 running bales. counting
round as half-baleS have been
ginned from the 1898 crop prior
to october i, compared with
8,260,071 bales for 1887.
The board said the indicated
production 12,212,00 bales was an
increase of $4,000 bales from the
September / forecast and COM
pared with 18,946,000 bales in
1887. The innlcated yield per acre
Of 221.1 pounds compares with

HARRISON BACKS
TO BARTER
COTTON SURPLUS

GN.S) Senator Pat Harrison
3D. of Mississippi today Joined
the drive in Congress for resort
to barter with foreign nations for
disposal of the millions Of bales
of surplus cotton that are forcing
down the cotton price.
The Mississippian, chairman OF
the powerful Senate Finance Com,
mittee, said he was in favor of
American farmers trading cotton
for silver or for tin, coffee, rubber
or other commodities that are not
produced in the United States.
BACKS PITTMAN PLAN
Commodities received for the
cotton could be turned into the
channels of demand in this coun.
try to provide cash for the farm.
erS, Harrison explained.
Proposal by Senator Key Pitt
man (DD of Nevada, chairman Of
the Foreign Relations Committee,
that the United States trade cot
ton for silver, was approved in
principle by Harrison, who ex-
planned he had not studied Pitt.
mans proposal in detail.
The Nevadan's proposal was
that the Government serve as
middleman in trading carryover
or surplus cotton at the rate of
10 pounds fcS each ounce Of silver.
Upon receipt of the silver, the
Treasury Department would issue
currency against it and pay the
cotton farmers 1919 cents a pound
for the cotton traded.
Thus, by trading silver for cot
ton, foreigners would be able to
obtain the staple at about half its
present price of around 8 cents a
pound, it was explained.
