SCIENTIFIC FARMER WILL ASSIST SOVIET (Paris Times Spécial Cable) NEW YORK, Sunday.—American methods of scientific and mechanical farming are to increase wheat crops in Soviet Russia, according to arrangements made by Mr. Thomas Albert Campbell, of Montana, with Soviet officials. Mr. Campbell, who specializes in farming vast tracts of wheat land with labor-saving machinery, sailed yesterday from this port in the French liner Ile-de-France, bound for Moscow. His success as a "scientific farmer" led to a request by a Soviet commission, which visited the United States recently, for his assistance in solving Russian grain problems. Development of 10,000,000 acres of wheat land in the steppe country of Russia is contemplated. The purchase and introduction of $100,000,000 worth of American agricultural machinery for farming under the project is under consideration, as well. BANDITS DEFY POLICE Brigands Despoil Motor Convoy Near Aleppo. JERUSALEM, Sunday.—It is learned from Aleppo that a force of mounted Syrian police has been driven off by bandits, who had previously attacked a convoy of motorcars. The bandits halted the eight cars and forced the occupants to give up all their possessions, even to their clothes. When the mounted police arrived, it was driven off by the bandits.

(Paris Times Spécial) LONDON, Sunday.—Belief, inspired doubtless by hope, is current today in well-informed Salvationist quarters that General Bramwell Booth, the present leader of the Salvation Army, will accede to the request of a deputation from the High Council that he retire from office, retaining his title of General and continuing to enjoy the honors and dignities attached thereto. If the General refuses to retire, the High Council will be asked whether he is fit for office. A three-fourths majority would be necessary to make effective an affirmative finding. If, however, he consents to retire, the Council is expected to proceed immediately with the election of his successor, for whom a majority of two-thirds of the delegates voting is sufficient. Reorganization Plans. The High Council heard the report yesterday of the deputation which waited on General Booth to announce the Council’s decision. Then the Council adjourned until tomorrow, but if the General's reply is delayed, a further adjournment until Tuesday may be expected. According to information received from those close to the Council, a vast scheme of reorganization of the Army is ready to be discussed, a scheme which is believed to have the support of the majority of the Council. This would make the Army self-governing in areas where it is strongest, with a central international committee to coordinate the weaker groups, and with a General over all.

During the meeting yesterday, Staff-Captain Dr. Herbert Hart, who was secretary to the founder of the Army, drove up and asked to be allowed to submit a plan of reform to the meeting. He was not admitted to the meeting. His proposal was that General Booth should be promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal, and that under him should be two Councils, one administrative and one advisory. After his failure, Dr. Hart declared that he was going tomorrow to Southwold (Suffolk) where General Booth is lying ill, in order to lay the scheme before him. CASES OF INFLUENZA INCREASE IN BERLIN (Paris Times Spécial Cable) YORK (Pennsylvania), Sunday.—William Hess, eighteen years old, must spend twenty years in prison for his part in the murder of Nelson Rehmeyer, a farmer and witchdoctor, for which crime John H. Blymyer, a rival practitioner in black magic, has been sentenced to life imprisonment. John Curry, fourteen years old, also has been found guilty by the jury in the York County Court, but has been recommended to mercy. On account of his youth, Curry may escape with a light sentence. Both Hess, who was sentenced yesterday, and Curry were under the sinister influence of Blymyer, one of the many witchdoctors practicing in this region of Pennsylvania.

John Curry, fourteen years old, also has been found guilty by the jury in the York County Court, but has been recommended to mercy. On account of his youth, Curry may escape with a light sentence. Both Hess, who was sentenced yesterday, and Curry were under the sinister influence of Blymyer, one of the many witchdoctors practicing in this region of Pennsylvania. Both men, like thousands of their neighbors, believe firmly in voodooism and in the necromancy which is a survival of the medieval superstitions brought to York and neighboring counties by German settlers 150 years ago. Rehmeyer, who himself enjoyed considerable reputation as a worker in magic, was killed when he refused to surrender a lock of his hair which Blymyer insisted was necessary to break the spell which Rehmeyer had cast over him, and over the Hess family. Rehmeyer was knocked unconscious, bound to a chair, his clothing soaked with gasoline, and burned to death. It has been suggested that Blymyer used the prevailing belief in witchcraft to engineer an attack on Rehmeyer for the purpose of robbery.

Other estimates place the number of patients as high as one in every fifteen residents of the city. In general, most of the cases is serious. Children particularly are susceptible to the disease. The Red Cross has placed a dozen ambulances at the disposal of the city. As the hospitals are unable to receive any more patients, schools may be transformed into temporary hospitals. Outdoor workers have been ready victims of the epidemic because of the extremely cold weather. Influenza in Glasgow. GLASGOW, Sunday.—Public services here are seriously disorganized by the epidemic of influenza. Seventy tramcars were unable to leave the sheds yesterday for lack of drivers. The epidemic is not of a virulent variety. AFGHAN REBELS NOW PROPOSE EXILE OF QUEEN (Paris Times Spécial) LONDON, Sunday.—Further demands are being made by the rebels in Afghanistan, who clearly are not satisfied with the considerable concessions already made to them by King Amanullah. Now some of them insist that Queen Sorayah be put away by the King and that her family be expelled from Afghanistan. Reports from Indian cities on the borders of Afghanistan indicate that in the opinion of the rebels the Queen (who was born in Syria) is responsible for many of the hated “Westernizing reforms” which the King has tried to introduce.

Reports from Indian cities on the borders of Afghanistan indicate that in the opinion of the rebels the Queen (who was born in Syria) is responsible for many of the hated “Westernizing reforms” which the King has tried to introduce. It is recalled that she abandoned the veil on her European tour. If the rebels continue to press their demands on King Amanullah she may have to resume the veil, in any event, and return to the seclusion of purdah, which the King has tried in vain to abolish. Afghan officials abroad ridicule the very idea that the King would ever buy peace by agreeing to the exile of the Queen. The Afghan newspaper Aman-i-Afghan describes concessions already made by the King: “Afghan girls sent to Turkey to be educated are to be recalled, the purdah System is to be restored, conscription with drawals, women’s associations closed, and European dress discarded. Soldiers in future may become followers of holy men.” According to a report from Karachi, Aircraftsman Shaw (Colonel Lawrence) sailed for England from Bombay by the mail steamer yesterday, after travelling from Lahore by aircraft. The Bolsheviks had asserted that he was leading the Shinwari insurgents in Afghanistan and the rumor had gained such credence that the Indian Government decided to send Lawrence home to England.

FIGHT IN SENATE OF PACT REVIVE “ROUND ROBIN” FATHER SHOOTS BOOTLEGGER WHO SOLD LIQUOR TO GIRL LITTLE ROCK (Arkansas), Sunday. — Executing his own rough justice, F. E. Sullivan, a private citizen, took Prohibition enforcement into his own hands at a roadhouse near Camden. He fired four bullets into the body of Alex Hardin, proprietor of the resort, whom Sullivan accused of selling corn liquor to his fifteen-years-old daughter and to other students at the Camden High School. Sullivan was arrested. Hardin probably will die of his wounds. BOOTLEGGERS WORRIED AIR CRASH KILLS EIGHTH PHILADELPHIA, Sunday. — The aircraft accident near Middleton (Pennsylvania) the other day has claimed its eighth and last victim through the death here of Sergeant Conroy, of the United States Army.

The bootleggers, who were secretly indicted after it was learned that Customs men and other American officials had been paid $2,000,000 in “graft,” are now living in temporary security in Windsor (Ontario). (Paris Times Spécial Cable) WASHINGTON, Sunday. — The chances of the Pact of Paris coming early to a vote in the United States Senate, and of its securing ratification when it is acted upon, appear less bright today, following the announcement of Senatorial opponents of the Pact that they have secured twenty signatures to a “round robin” demanding an interpretation of the Treaty by the United States. The “round robin,” the first circulated in the Senate since the Treaty of Versailles was the subject of bitter debate in that body, is believed to have been organized by Senator Moses, of New Hampshire and Senator Bingham, of Connecticut, following Senator Reed’s fiery denunciation of the Pact on Friday. Thirty-three signatures are necessary to prevent ratification without interpretation. Senator Curtis, who is still Republican floor leader, hopes to obtain a vote on the Pact next week. It is now assured that President-elect Hoover will call a special session of Congress to deal with the question of farm relief and that he will do so soon after his inauguration on Mardi 4. Tariff revision is another matter which

Tariff revision is another matter which would be discussed by the special session which, it is believed, will assemble about April 15. After two days of debate, the House has passed the Pennsylvania reapportionment of representation in the House of Representatives, based on population of the States. Reapportionment, which has been avoided by Congress for twenty years, would affect twenty-seven States. BOLSHEVISTS REPEAT PROPOSAL FOR PACT WARSAW, Sunday.—A Soviet note replying to the Polish demurrer at a proposed ratification of the Briand-Kellogg Pact immediately, as between the two countries, has been received by M. Zaleski, the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs. In this new Note, the Soviet Government declares itself “unable to understand” the conditions laid down by Poland in her reply to the first offer, namely, consultation by Poland with other Baltic States and with Rumania. The Soviet Note now points out that the original Soviet invitation to Poland contained a clause declaring that any other State could adhere to the suggested protocol, and that Russia had expressed the desire that her other neighbors should so adhere. Soviet Russia is described as willing that Rumania should adhere to the protocol, but the Government in Moscow declares itself unable to understand why the fact that other

She was found by her maid lying unconscious across her bed late in the afternoon. There is no hope of recovery. FORT WORTH (Texas), Sunday.— “I will accuse no one,” said the Rev. J. Frank Norris today when questioned as to his theory of the burning of the First Baptist Church here, of which he is pastor. A long and tangled skein of enmity and intrigue, resulting from a killing months ago to which the pastor confessed, is recalled by the authorities in connection with the fire which occurred yesterday. Because of his frequent attacks from his pulpit, both on the city administration and on the private characters of persons whom he held out as examples in warning against immorality, the Rev. Mr. Norris became known as the “Fighting Parson.” During a quarrel resulting from one such campaign in 1926, he shot Mr. D. E. Chipps, a wealthy lumberman, in the study of his parsonage. He was acquitted of the charge of murder when he alleged self-defense. The trial caused the town of Fort Worth to split into two factions, the “pro-Norris” and the “anti-Norris.” The consequent publicity added even more to the prosperity of the First Baptist Church, to which the sensational methods of the pastor had attracted large congregations long before the murder case. Many citizens of Fort Worth refused to accept his acquittal as just, and bitter feeling has smoldered since, bursting occasionally into controversy upon
