JARDINE SAYS FARMERS MUST AID THEMSELVES Tells Illinois Conference He i Is Opposed to Price Fixing. Bu United Press URBANA, 111.. Jan. 21. —Secretary of Agriculture Wlllian/ M. Jhrdine today went on record as being absolutely opposed to Government handling of the surplus crops, declaring that, many of the problems of agriculture* must be remedied by the farmers themselves. In an address to the Illinois Agricultural Association here. Jardine declared: “I am opposed to price fixing. I am opposed to Government handling of farm products.” ✓ 111-Feeling Jardine's stand aroused ill-feeling as various farm leaders, including Samuel H. Thompson, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation and George N. Peek, another agricultural figure, have announced their belief in the need of Government action to save agriculture from the effects of surplus exops. They want a Federal agency to handle the sui plus problem and they demand a protective wall similar to that thrown up about labor and Industry. His Program t Jardine advanced eight points of a relief program. The>A\vere: Readjustment of the State and local tax programs to remove inequalities thM operate against the farmer; Government cataloging all underdeveloped lands, to prevent “headlong” agricultural development; extension of the Federal credit facilities to agricultural areas where such facilities are insufficient to the needs of the farmers; scientific overh ten ling of the freight rates structure; further development of the good roads program; development of the waterways system to give the farmers another outlet for their products; extension of the cooperative marketing program; cooperation of all public agencies to help solve the surplus crops problem. TRANSFER IS ORDERED Farm Prisoner To Be Taken Back To Stale Reformatory. Governor Jackson I>m ordered .he transfer of Harry Gandnc. now | serving a six-month sentence in the I Indiana State Farm, to the State Fle- ' forma tory to complete his farm sentence, following- receipt of in formation that Gardner- is an escaped prisoner from the/ Reformatory. Gardner was convicted of intoxication last month by the Martin Circuit Court.

FRESH BUYING PROGRESSES IN GENERAL LIST Market Shows Buoyant Tone —Active Stocks Score Advances. * Average Stock Prices Aevraxe price of twenty industrial stocks for Thursday, was 155.04. up 1.23. Average price of twenty rails for Thursday. was 104.22. up .29. NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—The shorts were in a nervous frame of mind as a result of the vigorous recovery in Wednesday's final trading and further urgent covering took place in the early dealings. In addition, fresh buyihg was encouraged by the resistance to selling recently displayed by the general list. These factors made a buoyant tone in the market as a whole and substantial advances were scored by active stocks. Baldwin, which was heavily bought by W. C. Durant late yesterday, jumped two point* to 128. while Ainerican Smelting gained a point to 134, Hudson, to 110%; General Motors, 1% to 119, and Steel, % to 135. Stocks maintained a confident tone around noon, although no extension of the rally took place in pivotal issues. However, the duality of the buying was reported good, particularly in steel common, which was under accumulation in anticipation of favorable development at next Tuesday's meeting of the directors in regard to an increase in the regular 50-cent extra dividend. Castiron Pipe sold off sharply, dropping almost six points following the announcement of a declaration of a full year's common dividends at a $lO rate. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings fur today amounted to $3 1!-0(100. Bank debits for today totaled $6,529,000. In the Sugar Market (By Thomson A McKinnon) NEW YORK, Jan 2L—The heavy sales of raw sugar recently have failed to make the impression oil the futures market that many had expeeted. Yesterday's sharp decline in quotations was a natural enough development, considering the attitude of refiners on the proospect of a very large Cuban crop. The Celling in futures appears to be better than tne buying at the preesnt time. Hedge selling has kept the macket In check and has been responsible lor substantial recessions from the top levels of the past week or more. more. Refiners are not following up the rise in the raw market and It is likely that their purchases lately have increased their supplies sufficiently to cover requirements for at least a fortnight.

[ynj HEN the Portuguese explorers Vv l in the 16th centu, y first LIU made their way from the coast of the Red Sea Into eastern Africa, found In the midst of its wild mountains whut they thought was the kingdom of Prester John, a fabled Christian monarch, whose power, wealth and magnificence were the theme of many a medieval legend. There was some basis for this belief, for in the 4th century, A. D. Abyssinia, then known as Ethiopia, had been converted to Christianity through the efforts of St. Athanasius of Alexandria. Then the Mohqmmedans swept over northern Africa inYhe 7th century, cutting off the country completely from civilization. As the historian Gibbon says, ‘'encompassed by the enemies of their religion, the Ethiopians slept for near a thousand years, forgetful of the world by whom they were forgotten.” What rtte adventurous Portuguese explorers found was a strange remnant of this primitive Christianity. The Negiu Negusti ("King of Kings”) of Ethiopia, as the Abyssinian monarchs still call themselves, do not encourage tlte Prester John theory. .They prefer to claim descendant from King Solomon and the Queen of Bheba! Abyssinia is about one and onequarter times the size of Texas. With the exception of Liberia, on the west coast, it is the only part of Africa, wlfloh is not under control of some European country. From the modern capital at Addis Abeba, In the central part, the country Is still governed as a feudal monarchy. Religious leadership has passed to the "Coptic” Christian church of JSgypt, and the numerous clergy exercises great influence. In the whole realm there Is only one school worthy of the name. A s-andlng army of 250,000 men is maintained by the crown. The whole male population is warlike, the men rarely appearing In public places without their long icurved knives or their *spears and shields. Europeans have had several tastes of their prowess. In 1868 the emperor Theodore 111 imprisoned FIGHTSTfIRTED TO SAVE DURKIN (Continued Front Pgge 1) he eloped and with whom he was found when captured in St. Louis. On the longr train ride front St. Ixmis to Chicago last night, Durkin was af owed to sit beside his bride and bury his head in her soft mink eoat—a $2,000 eoat he had given her as a wedding gift. But on their arrival here they were separated. Marty objected when they led her away. ‘•There’ll be heil to pay if they shanghai her.” he snapped as he scuffled to get near her again. She Is LoyalAnd Irma, who insists she did not know her dashing young suitor was Martin Durkin, Chicago's terrible bad man, when she ran away with him t© be married In East St. Louis, twisted her delicate white fifigers in the folds of her dress and pledged her loyalty to him. “He’s my husband and I’m his wife,” she said in a voice that was ever so soft. “I've been taught that It’s a wife’s duty to be loyal to her husband and I’ll stick by him to the very end.” "He's just a boy.” she pleaded. ‘‘He wanted to go straight. They wouldn’t let him. He didn’t mean tcv kill anyone.” And the beautiful young country girl, swept off her feet by thi impetuous wooing of the romantic crook, daubed her eyes with a handkerchief. There’s drama in the .Durkin ease, every conceivable bit of drama. Irma; the pretty city sweetheart Hetty abandoned by Durkin for the little country girl; sorrowing parents, vengeful police; an epic of daring by Durkin; a TMa-tion-widc bunt In which Federal Government played—and a dash of humor, the flappers who idolize him. - I lousier Bred For Durkin is young, 26; he is handsome, tall, clean shaven, with the head and face of a romantic actor. Automooile stealing was his principal occupation after he left his Indiana hoihe. For he was born ajjd bred a Hoosier. Griffith, lnd., town of 600 near Gary, knew him as the sheik and pool shark. That was only a little more than a year a*t>. It is Betty, the city sweetheart who Is causing Irma worry. And Irma is wording Betty. Both love Durkin. Betty fought crowds to see Irma. “Gee! Nile’s a beauty," said Betty as she saw Irma's pretty* face and shapely head front the luxurious fur coat—the $2,000 wrap that Durkin bought for her. And there’s a $2,000 wedding ring on Inna’s finger that Betty never had from Durkin. Irma didn’t know Marty had. a sweetheart back in Chicago. Who’s That Girl? When Betty entered the State's attorney's office, where Durkin and Miss Sullivan were being questioned, lrm looked up and aekd a nearby policeman: “Who Is that girl whispering with my Marty?” The officer saw the slightest trace of red In the girl's cheeks, saw that she resented the familiar way Betty had of bending her head close to Marty and the soft way she spoke to him. “That's Durkin's old sweetheart,” the officer raiu. Irma was silent for a moment. Then she suid: * “Oh, maybe 1-e’ll forget /lie — do you suppose?” The officer liad nothing to say to that, and lima let u few tears fall to b#r silk dress.

Later, during the rule of the famous Mendlik, Italy established colonies on the Red Sea coast and sought to extend her power inland:-. War followed and in 1896 the Italian army was disastrously defeated at Adowa. Ten years later Italy joined with France and Great Britain in guaranteeing Abyssinia against further losses of territory. All the Abyssinian coast line, however, already had been seized, and today the country is cut off entirely from the sea. The French with a narrow-gauge railway extending from Jibuti toward Addis Abeba. control the commerce of Abyssinia, which consists chiefly of hides, .coffee, and beeswax. The natives are mostly small farmers und cattlegrowers, and honey forms a largo part of their diet. Barley, wheat, millet, hops and tobacco, are raised in moderate quantities. The soil is fertile, and most regions yield two crops a year. Away from the railway, transportation over the primitive mountains and desert trails, is possible only with pack-horses, mules, and camels. The towns, rarely 5,000 population, often move from place to place as the supplies of firewood become exhausted. Big game is plentiful, especially the elephant, two-horned rhinoceros, lion. leopard, lynx and Jackal. The hippopotamus and the crocodile tire numerous in the Hawaslt River, that strange stream which wanders eastward from the mountains for five hundred miles and then is lost in Lake Aussa, sixty Yulies from the coast.

Fven iu stealing automobiles, he was careful never to steal from anyone except dealers, who were protected by insurance. If he killed anybody, he had to do it •—-he didn’t kill because he wanted to." Durkin held his mother close. “It's all right .Ma. It will coiue out all right,” he tnurmurrpd, losing momentarily his easy demeanor. His two sisters and a cousin also comforted him. In the same office, were Bert and Minnie .Sullivan, toil worn parents of Irma. They walked moodily uround, plainly confused. "It's terrible,” said the father. Then the mother to her daughter, “He married you all right?" "Yes, mother,” said Irma. Then the ominous figure of Crowe. “Durkin will hang. He has confessed killing Shanahan. If that Jsn't enough, there is the killing of Sergeant Gray.” Although Clarence Darrow, the famous criminal lawyer who saved Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb from the gallows and has achieved similar victories for 100 other killers, has been asked to defend Durkin, Darrow has so far refused to entpr the case, tie told the United PresM today lie hud accepted no offers and was as yet undecided whether to participate.
