CORDELL HULL URGES WORLD TARIFF CUTS Economic Parley to End Trade Barriers Sought to Speed Recovery. (Continued from Pape One) fry. but believes that in the economic conference he proposes these and all other debts should be discussed. Third in I’. S. Power Senator Hull, just back from Warm Springs, Ga„ where he conferred with Mr. Roosevelt, declines either to confirm or deny the widespread reports that he is to be the next secretary of state —third in power in this government. Hls associates, however, sometimes are addressing him as "Mr. Secretary," and members of the Tennessee delegation are so convinced that their colleague will get a cabinet post that they are discussing his probable successor in the senate. The statement of policy which would be expected to guide Mr. Hull if he were given the foreign relations portfolio was enunciated by him in a statement two months ago. ‘‘The United States since 1920, with its greatly superior power and prestige, having led other countries to these unprecedented heights of tariff and other trade obstacles, should proceed now to lead in the opposite direction of sanity and sound business recovery," Senator Hull said then. Proposes Common End “To this end it is my individual opinion that our government should propose to other governments, acting individually and separately, the carrying out of a common policy of discontinuing any further increases of tariff and similar trade obstructions, and of effecting a horizontal reduction of 10 per cent of their permanent tariff rates. "Our government, as an evidence of its good faith, should announce its unqualified purpose thus to take the lead. "Reciprocal commercial treaties based on mutual tariff concessions and, as nearly as possible, the unconditional favored-nation policy if other governments will agree, greatly would supplement the usual legislative method of tariff readjustment. “Each government well could be requested to consider a policy discontinuing artificial protection for any individual business that patently is inefficient on acount of antiquated plant, or incompetent management, or hopelessly inflated capital structure, or for a business that is clearly not economically justifiable. Set on Tariff Policy “All efficient industry thereby would be placed upon a much healthier and more prosperous basis. "Without reference to the merits of government debts due us, each important country, before seeking separate and preferential consideration of their claims for further reduction, first should indicate their attitude toward this broader and more fundamental program. “This government, individually then could hear and consider the applications of our debtor governments for further debt readjustment. “This it should do entirely separately from, but simultaneously with or following, the proceedings of a world economic conference dealing with and acting on tariff policy —not tariff rates—and monetary stability and rehabilitation, credit policy and economic disarmament generally. Get Rid of Surplus This statement and the remainder of Hull's record in the senate and house indicates that if he becomes secretary of state he will concentrate almost wholly upon economic problems to stimulate foreign trade so we may be rid of our surpluses. A further indication, if any is needed, is in the fact that Hull helped write the Democratic platform, which declares for "reciprocal tariff agreements with other nations, and an international economic conference designed to restore international trade and facilitate exchange." DREADED STOCKS IN PRISON CAMPS Men Kept in Cages When Not Working. (Continued from Page One) " | beneath the cage. That is the only sanitary arrangement. Once a week, on Saturday night, these men get a change of clothing and a chance to bathe in a stream that runs some 100 yards from the convict cages. Beneath a scraggly pine tree stands a curious wooden contraption with a row of holes in its face. This is the stocks, like those you have seen in pictures from 300 years ago. But these are an improved model of stocks, rot like the simple pictures in your history book. These stocks are authorized by the state prison commission as one form of punishment called on its books "restricted movement." The convict sits on the sharpened edge of a board, hands and feet ! stretched out before him and locked m holes between two other boards. An hour, the rules say, is the limit of this punishment, which is inflicted by the camp warden on any prisoners who do not work hard enough on the roads, or who break discipline in camp. To sustain them during the day of “from sunrise to sunset" on the roads, prisoners at tins camp get molasses for breakfast, and dried beans or peas, with occasional turnip greens as a treat, for dinner and supper. Fat pork occasionally is provided. These cages in Whitfield county camp meet all the requirements of the state prison commission for living quarters "when not in permanent quarters.” The rules provide for substantial buildings for "permanent quarters," but this county has never had any. This is the chain gang as seen In one of its camps which appears typical of most of the 150 main- j tamed by the state of Georgia.

‘Held Up’ at the Post Four ‘Turfmen’ Visit Police ‘Paddock’ After ‘Stretch’ Battle.

Police flashed across the finish wire Friday, losers of a different kind of a horse race involving a S4OO “purse" and four quarrelsome “turfmen.” The stands on Illinois street were jammed with spectators, while in an office at 818 Occidental building a “fuss" was being raised over “Redwine,” a horse from a “paddock” near West Baden. Dr. Elliot Hirsch, dentist, and “Redwine s" owner, seemed to be dissatisfied with his mount, and was objecting to further payment on the purchase price.

Leonard S. Dickey, 51, his son Robert, 19, and a nephew, all of West Baden, called on *Dr. Hirsch to “collect.” “His head shakes and his legs are bad. He really isn’t worth the money,” Hirsch is said to have told the bargainers. Hirsch recently herl "taken up" horseback riding, it was reported. “Well, what do you know about it?” interjected the elder Dickey, “you can't even ride a horse.” Pay or Be Drilled Then the fun began. In true race style, the telephone bell rang and Hirsch, irritated by the argument, tore the telephone wires from the wall. | At about this time, Leonard Dickey is said to have pretended to have a gun in his pockets. “If you don't pay me I'll drill you,” he threatened Hirsch, according to police. Hirsch, apparently groggy at the three-quarter mile post, cried for help. “It's a holdup.” he shouted, and workers in adjoining offices came running. Paddock for All of You In meantime, it appeared, the nephew of Dickey had “run off with the receipts.” in form of a check of SIOO tendered by Hirsch. who told police it was written in such a manner that it could not be cashed. “Let it go. it's all a joke,” Hirsch told the officers. “No. It's the paddock for all of you,” was the answer of one of the policemen. Taken to headquarters, Hirsch and the two Dickeys apparently reached an amicable truce, and the contest was ended. Hirsch did not care to press charges against Dickey, he said. DIVORCES LEW AYRES Lola Lane Testifies Actor Referred to Her as “Dumb Cluck.” LOS ANGELES. Feb. 4—Lola Lane, screen player, won a divorce here Friday on charges that her actor-husband. Lew Ayres, regarded her as a “millstone around his neck.” Ayres, she said, no longer cared to be “hampered" by his third marriage, which took place in Las Vegas. New, eighteen months ago. Jonathan Smith, theatrical agent, testified Ayres called his wife a "dumb cluck.” Under a property settlement the actress received $30,000 and will get $5,000 more in a month. CHOPS OFF OWN HAND Borrows Ax. Places Hand on Block and Hammers at It. Bii I nit nl Frcs KENOSHA, Wis., Feb. 4.—Rudolph Yager, 50, borrowed an ax from a neighbor Friday, placed his righ hand on a block of wood and started trying to chop it off. Swinging the ax with his left hand, he struck three times, then walked back to the neighbor's, returned the ax and asked that a doctor be called. At a hospital his hand was amputated. He rfefused to explain his act.

BOARD OF EDUCATION MERELY -MARKS TIME’ Members Hold One of Shortest Sessions in History. Taking the stand that their positions as members of the state board of education merely are tentative row, members held one of the shortest sessions in board history at the statehouse Friday. They refused to do any business, but approved department reports from George C. Cole, superintendent of public instruction. Board membership will be shifted completely under the new McNutt reorganization law. Instead of the present setup, consisting of presidents of the state universities and normal schools, superintendents from the three largest cities and four appointees of the Governor the new board will consist of the Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, superintendent of public instruction and six appointees of the Governor, four being from the educational field./

Dearing returned to the station and left again after a ten-minute stay. When stopped again he was carrying a pair of shoes and had $19.59 in his pockets. Detained on Telephone In the meantime, Winkle called McMurtry with the “information" that he had been held up by six men. McMurtry detained Winkle on the telephone on the pretense of obtaining descriptions of the men, while the squad car of Lieutenant John Sheehan was ordered by radio to bring Winkle to police headquarters. Instructions also were given to keep Winkle and Dearing apart. Winkle was shoeless and explained that the “six men" had taken his shoes to prevent him "chasing them." At headquarters McMurtry told Winkle that his story was not believed. but Winkle protested that his story "was exactly the way it happened." Never Saw Him Before The shoes taken from Dearing were brought in and Winkle was ordered to try them on. Immediately he declared them "no fit.” Then Dearing was brought into the room, but Winkle declared:

M’NUTT RELIEF PLAN FOLLOWS THAT OFLESLIE District and County Setups Will Be Similar Under New Administration. Governor Paul V. McNutt's unemployment relief will follow the lines laid down by the Leslie administration, with changes of personnel and some legislative backing, it was learned today. An outline of the plan was made public by the Governor, as drafted by Fred Hoke, state chairman on unemployment relief. It provides for a district and county chairman and committee setup similar to that operated during the last two years. Lake county was the first new organization announced. There Peter Hein. Crown Point banker, was appointed to succeed Walter Riley, East Chicago, as county chairman. Committee Is Chosen Judge M. E. Crites, East Chicago; Ora Wildermuth, Gary; John Rohde. Hammond, and P. D* Sullivan, Whiting, were named committee members. There will be no direct state aid, as recommended by Newton D. Baker, head of the national committee, who urged all legislatures to make appropriations to care for those in places where local relief has been exhausted. McNutt said the state can not afford it. Legislation is being drafted by Attorneys Fred Matson and Charles Remster to make the state activities more effective, he said. Will Seek R. F. C. Loans They also will prepare bills to make passible the procuring of R. F. C. loans for self-liquidating public works. Hoke's general program is a set-' up along the lines of the council of defense, which functioned in war days. “Co-ordination" is the main theme of the program and existing local agencies will be supported. Community gardens again are recommended as helpful. McNutt expressed the view that the smaller units are least wasteful in handling relief, but admitted that some of them are short of funds.

CO-OPERATION . . . . SINCE 1874 CO-OPERATION made possible the incorporation of the Association in 1874. This same spirit has continued throughout all these years with the result that the Association has grown to an intitution with assets of over 13 million. The Officers and Directors recognize and fully appreciate the value of this eo-operation. They feel that it has been to a large degree, responsible for the regular earnings which have made possible the fact that dividends have been declared semi-annually every year since 1874.
