FARMER URGED - RYCOXEYTO USE U. S. CREDIT Veteran of Historic March Puts Forth Plan to Aid Marketing. While most American leaders are complaining about the “depression and hard times” without offering any solution, that veteran economist and “commoner,” Jacob S. Coxey, who commanded the army

of the unemployed in their march upon Washington in 1894, has advanced a method of aiding the fanners. Stalwart as a guardsman, his mentality sharpened by years instead of dulled, the Ohio sage has proposed to southern farmers a means whereby they can

borrow money to avail themselves of the federal intermediate credit bank facilities operating through a co-operative financing, purchasing and marketing organization. “In 1923, congress appropriated S6O 003,000 to loan to the farmers to establish production credit corporations,” he said. Solicit Subscriptions The farmer must, however, form a corporation with $25,000 paid-in stock in order to obtain the loans. “Few farmers have sufficient funds to underwrite such a corporation so last year congress appropriated $10,000,000 to be loaned to the farmers to be applied to farming the co-operative. Farmers could borrow two-thirds of the money necessary to purchase the stock by putting up one-third in cash themselves. “As many farmers did not have the necessary one-third it is to make available to them that $10,000,000 that I propose the following plan,” Coxey declared. “Corporations will be formed, capitalized at $30,000. We shall solicit subscriptions to total SIO,OOO, and thus be able to obtain $30,000 and thus avail ourselves of the loans of from SIOO,OOO to $175,000. Loans Through Trusts These corporations will furnish trust certificates guaranteeing 6 per cent dividends. The money will be loaned to the farmers by the cooperative trust which also is to furnish the farmers with food and supplies at cash, not credit, prices because of mass buying and also will handle the marketing end of the business. “When trucks of the co-operative deliver food and supplies to the various farms they will collect the products of these farms. Thus we simplify the two greatest farm problems, the need for supplies to carry on the work and the utmost necessity for group marketing,” the economist declared.

DOCTORS READY FOR CONVENTION IN PHILADELPHIA Quaker City, Traditional as Home of Medicine, to Be Host June 8. By United Press PHILADELPHIA, May 29.—1n the old Quaker city where their organization was founded more than four score years ago, 800 members of the American Medical Associa- | tion will hold their annual convention from June 8 to 12. The visiting surgeons and physicians will be gathered in a city j where medical traditions are older J than the nation. Seven medical men were among the first purchasers of land in the new province which the king presented to William Penn to repay a debt due his father, Admiral Penn. Looking backward in its opulent past, historians record that Philadelphia bears title to: The first colonial hospital which was established by Drs. Thomas Cadwalder and Thomas Bond; the first medical school which was a part of the University of Pennsylvania founded by Benjamin Frank--1 lin in 1749. The first medical society organized in 1765. First medical library founded In 1763. First university laboratory of clinical research. First university department of research medicine. The first comprehensive graduate school of medicine. First American university to have a department of surgical research. First dispensary for “medical relief for the poor” In 1786. First college of pharmacy founded in 1821. As part of the visit to this shrine of American medicine, many of the physicians will go to old Christ church to view the national shrine which was designed by a physician, Dr. John Kersley. Despite his large practice and the training he gave many youths of

KIRKLAND TRIAL JUDGE HINTS AT DOOSTING TERM \ Ogden Admits Inability to Force Lengthening to 5 to 21 Years. By CTnifed Press VALPARAISO, Ind., May 29. The furore over the one to tenyear reformatory sentence passed upon Virgil Kirkland, continued today with no sign of abatement, but with Grant Crumpacker, trial judge, indicating a possibility that the term of the penalty might be lengthened. The belligerent attitude of Judge Crumpacker, displayed Thursday, was tempered, somewhat, as word arrived from Indianapolis that At-torney-General James M. Ogden admitted there was no way of forcing the trial judge to alter the sentence. Judge Crumpacker admitted that he changed the commitment to read “assault and battery with intent to commit a felony.” Kirkland was convicted, in his trial for slaying Arlene Draves at a Gary liquor party, on a charge of “assault and battery with intent to commit criminal assault.” The former crime carries a mandatory sentence of one to ten years, the latter a maximum penalty of five to twenty-one years. The one to ten-year sentence would be legal, however, on the latter charge, At-torney-General Ogden said, hence the argument rests on whether it was sufficiently severe. Judge Crumpacker admitted that when he passed sentence he wasn’t aware that he had any discretion in the matter, and pointed out that

neither state nor defense attorneys brought up the issue. Upon motion of the prosecuting attorney, to alter the sentence. Judge Crumpacker has the power to impose the five to twenty-one-year penalty. Attorney-General Ogden advised Robert G. Estill. prosecuting attorney of Lake county, in a phone call. Kirkland began serving his term in the state reformatory at Pendleton Thursday. Ogden Gets Letters A deluge of letters from all parts of Indiana descended upon Attor-ney-General James M. Ogden today, urging him to support efforts to increase Virgil Kirkland's sentence. Some urged steps be taken to impeach Judge Grant C. Crumpacker unless he altered the sentence. Impeachment of a judge can not be attempted unless he has been convicted of a felony, the attorneygeneral's office pointed out. Robert G. Estill, Porter county prosecutor, conferred with Ogden by telephone late Friday and indicated he would seek a stiffer sentence for Kirkland. Estill’s assistant, John Underwood, conferred with Ogden's deputies and was expected to see Ogden today.
