HARM IS SEEN BY BROKER IN " CONTROL BILL

Brown Cites Inefficiency of Government Control Defends Big Packers. By Associated Press WASHINGTON. Auig. 27. "Unless we can be assured of more efficient and economical government control than was the case with the railroads, telegraph and telephone companies, neither the producer nor the consumer can hope for benefit from such legislation," Everett C. Brown, president of the National Livestock Exchange, which is composed of stockyard brokers, told the senate agricultural committee Tuesday afternoon. The witnesses appeared in opposition to the Kenyon and Kendrick bills, proposing license regulation of the packing industry, and transfer of refrigerator cars, and the stock yards. Mr. Brown took exception to the testimony given before the committee by Federal Trade Commissioner Colver, and remarked that 'In our great industry It has seemed more proper to speak of the tirade commission than the trade commission." "The witness," he said, referring to Mr. Colver, "stated the so-called independent packers existed merely at the sufferance of the large packers. If this be true, how does he account for the fact that at many of our great markets the independents repeatedly and aggressively set the pace in buying livestock. "Would the so-called trust voluntarily permit the continuation of such expensive 'sufferance?' "The witness stated that the brokers were in the yards at the sufferance of the packers, though really the agents of the shippers. I resent this allegation, and it only shows the unfamiliarity of the witness with actual conditions." "Livestock is today the one farm product assured of a daily cash market. Anything which would disturb this condition would be ruinous to the producer." Refrigerator car development Mr. Brown classed as a "bright spot in the history of the packing industry," , and urged caution in legislating upon their use. - Ownership Not Protested. "The federal control act gave the railroad administration the right to take over these cars, but they carefully refrained from doing so," he said. "The Interstate Commerce commission after careful study confessed that only inefficiency could result from turning the cars over to the railroads." Ownership of the stockyards by the packers, Mr. Brown said, was not a caure tor objection by shippers so long as competition was maintained and yard charges were reasonable. "If in the face of many protests, congress in its wisdom elects to disturb this industry," he said in concluding, "I respectfully urge that new laws defining what shall constitute crimes and misdemeanors, and providing punishment therefor, would be more effective than the licensing system. If the licensing system must as a last resort be adopted the commission men acting solely as the direct agent of the producer, should be exempted. If regulation must come let it be by a commission not the present federal trade commission. Do not interfere with refrigerator cars unless and until a better method of distribution devised." ia

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Reply to recent statements by members of President Carranza's official family in Mexico City to the effect that the Mexican government had a right to enact laws that would result in the confiscation of property owned by foreigners, and that rastoratlve laws were justifiable in international law was made by the American association of producers of petroleum in Mexico in a letter presented today to the state de partment. , "The newspapers for several days" ... . . ... I.J r, A the letter sam nave a""5-Ar?f.Ml JZ Mexico City intended to Justify article 27 of the Mexican constitution or ivii which declares that all petroleum in the republic belongs to the nation. "Cabrera, Schlaffino and the others now plant themselves on the broad ground that in the public interest the Mexican government can confiscate the private property of Americans and other foreigners without violating international law. According to their theory property rights such as the oil companies have acquired, are subordinate to the welfare of the Mexican public and therefore can be wiped out. This has been their real position from the beginning though it has undergone mild disguise from time to time. They started out by citing American law on the subject, but It was shown that American law is precisely the reverse of their contention, and now they cite the French authority Francois Laurent. He is quoted as follows: 'Laws may have retroactive effect when public interests are at stake.' The actual 'statement by Laurent (Droit Civil, Vol 1, Chap IV, Sec 31; was: 'It Is commonly argued that laws ests. "So it again transpires that the authority relied on is squarely opposed to their theory. "They have dropped the expostulation that the constitution and laws are not retroactive. They now admit that DYE PLANT BUILT BY ATLAS COMPANY A dye plant which will employ twenty-five additional workers, is under construction by the Richmond division of the Atlas Underwear company. Superintendent A. J. Harwood, said Wednesday. The building, when completed, which will be within sixty days, will be a two-story brick structure, fifty by sevey-five feet. Due to the growing business in the last nine years, since the underwear company opened operations here, it has been necessary to build additional working facilities, said Harwood. Besides dyeing, bleaching and washing will also be done in the new building. The underwear company will import four experienced workmen from the east for their new plant. U. S. MINISTER TO CHINA QUITS POST fBy Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. Dr. Paul S. Relnsch, American minister to China, has resigned. His resignation Is now in the hands of President Wilson, but It was denied that he presented it "suddenly" as reported In Japanese dispatches to Honolulu. HONOLULU. T. H.. Aug. 27.

they distinctly, are; and the sole and only auhority cited to prove that such things may be proves to be plainly against their contention. On such a base is built up their justification of spoliation. "Their argument that to seizure the oil lands from their rightful owners, and turn them over to the Mexican government to develop would redound to the public benefit Is answered by the record made in the management of railways, express companies and other industries so seized." All these arguments have been carefuly weighed by the state depart ment and the decision of this governnt was stated in the note of April 2. 1918, which protested against the spe cmc articles or the constitution as confiscatory. The same conclusion was reached by the governments of France, England and Holland. It is stated by officials that Mexico will not be allowed to confiscate the oil prop erties. Men More Fastidious Say Barbers; Everybody Buys Facial Massages Men of Richmond are considerably more fastidious, concerning their facial apperances than they were five years ago, say local barbers. Then there was hardly a man who received a shave more than three times a week, but now great numbers receive a shave evry day. These same men usually receive, a hair cut, hair wash, hair tonic, and facial massage once a week, and barbers say that their sale of these expensive operation has increased 100 percent, within the last few years. The average man is making more money than ever before, and the barber service is one of the luxuries they indulge in. The returned soldiers are exceptions to the above, one of the leading barbers of the city declares, he beVaves that two-thirds of the returned boys, who never shaved themselves before entering the service, now do their own shaving, and receive a hair cut about once every two or three weeks. Water Works Wants $875,000 Value For Rate Purposes The Richmond Water company's petition with the Indiana public service commission, for an increase in water rates, asks for authority to issue and sell $25,000 capital stock. The petition states that since July 5, 1916, the company has expended $25,000 for additions and betterments to its property, all of which is used in the business, and therefore it should be allowed to issue and sell capital stock to the amount of $25,000. With this increase granted the value of the plant and property for rate making would be $875,000. The company asks six and one-half per cent on the value of the plant. Because of the high prices they have been unable to earn this much, the deficit being an average of about $3,000. The new rates can not be made known until an audit of the company's books is made by the commission, it was said Wednesday. Underbill Released On Bond of $5,000 Alfred C. Underhill was released from custody Tuesday afternoon on $5,000 bond, following his arrest last Saturday on a charge of rape. Underbill's bond was signed by his wife and son, and was covered by real estate holdings. Underhill is now covered by $12,500 bond, according to Linus Meredith, clerk of the Wayne Circuit court. He is bonded to the amount of $2,500 to appear in Union circuit court, pending the action of the court on his mo tion for a new trial, which will be heard In October; $5,000 for a charge of assault, filed about a month ago, and $5,000 for the last charge.

UNDERSTANDING IS NEED IN U, S. JAPAHELATION Japanese Ambassador to Mexico Believes in Open and Honest Discussion.

By Associated Press) HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 27. The "get together" spirit, an international application of the methods of chambers of commerce and boards of trade, Is all that Is. required to Insure friendly relations between the United States and Japan, according to Baron Jujitori Otorl. Japanese ambassador to Mexico, who is on his way home for a visit "To promote and Insure a better understanding between the . peoples ol the United States and Japan, and to further neutralize harmful propaganda endangering friendly relations," said the baron, "it Is essential that henceforth honest and courageous efforts be made by all concerned to meet In open discussion of the political, economical and social problems facing the two nations. A barrier of ignorance, race hatred and Jealousy has unfortunately substituted the Innocent isolation which formerly precluded intercourse between Japan and the United States. Must Have Understanding. "With the universal acceptance of democracy and liberal thought in international relations, it is time there should be a closer and better understanding between the two nations. Let us have a real get together movement; let us rub elbows and get acquainted. "To facilitate the early realization of such a movement I wish to make these suggestions: "That the diplomatic, consular and other official representatives of Japan and America be selected from men willing to give hearty co-operation toward cementing cordial relations. "That scholarships be established in the leading American and Japanese universities devoted to the history and literature of both countries. "That Japanese university graduates, thoroughly familiar with English, be allowed to matriculate in American universiites for post graduate work without any qualifying examination. "That trade and other commissions, composed of leading citizens, exchange visits for the purpose of obtaining first hand Information on public questions. "That the agency of the motion picture be employed in both countries to diffuse knowledge of geography, customs, dress and social mannerisms." Business of Running States is Discussed (By Associated Press) MADISON, Wis., Aug. 27. The ec onomies that may be effected by state governments through adoption of "business methods," particularly as exemplified in Wisconsin, will form the basis of the discussion at the meetof the secretaries of state or their accredited representatives from the American commonwealths which will be held here tomorrow and Thursday. Budgets and Budget Making," will be discussed tomorrow and the following day the plan of obtaining all the state's supplies through an official purchasing agent. SEPTEMBER 19 IS CHOSEN AS QUOTA DAY BY FARMERS INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 27 The $200,000 guarantee fund of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations will, it is hoped by federation leaders, be subscribed in one day. William Bosson, special treasurer for the fund, announced today that September 19 is the day selected for the big subscription effort. County and district chairmen will do their best, he said, to complete the fund on that date. This plan, breaking all precedent in the way of campaigns for funds in this state, has been agreed upon after federation leaders have had a chance to confer with members throughout Indiana. Several counties have "gone over the top" in one day of their own accord in other compaigns, but no campaign has yet been organized asking the whole state to provide its quota in twenty-four hours or less. "We have adopted this plan for two reasons," said Bosson. "We believe it unwise to conduct a long drawn out campaign, begging for money everywhere. We were confident Indiana farmers would prove to the world that they mean ready money, and subscribe the entire fund in one day's time. Farmers Pledge Selves "The campaign of organization has been conducted with a view to making September 19 the quota day. Our experience in the organization work seems to justify our judgment. Farmers everywhere throughout the state are pledging themselves at county and district meetings to put the fund over with a boom on September 19. The prospect of a strong, co-operative and mutually helpful organization aopeals so strongly that they are willing to go the limit in its support. "Every farmer knows he needs assistance in putting the marketing ol his produce on a sound, honest basis. He can not be assured of reasonable profit as long as the buying end of the game is conducted on a speculative, gambling basis. "The federation is going to work against this sort of thing. Farmers everywhere know the value of co-operation in advancing the science of production and farm management. For these and other reasons, we feel confident they will .put over the $200,000 fund between sunrise and sunset on September 19." TWO DIE IN PLANE CRASH BELLEVILLE, 111.. Aug.- 27. Second Lieut.

Effort to Be Made to Break Pittsburgh Strike (By Associated Press) PITTSBURG, Aug. 27. An attempt will be made to run street cars at midnight tomorrow night and break the strike that has tied up trolley transportation here for 13 days, it was announced last night by the receivers of es Pittsburgh street railway company. This decision came following an announcement from Detroit last night that at a meeting of the general executive board of the Amalgamated association of street and electric railway employes it was voted not only to

uphold international president w. D. Mahon who last Saturday suspended the local division of the Union No. 5. for striking in violation of its agree ment to abide by the decision of the war labor board, but to serve notice on the members of the local division that if its members did not return to work immediately a new division would be organized and the strikers would be considered as outlaws of the national union. As a result of the decision of the executive board of the International union a meeting of representatives of 3,000 striking motormen and conductors will be held late today if possible. Officers of the National union are due here today and it will be their task to persuade the men to return to work at once. On the hope of the men returning to their duties the receivers of the com pany are basing their hope of starting cars on regular service at midnight tomorrow night. No attempt was made to resume service yesterday and there was no re currence of the rioting which occurred Monday. Tiny American Craft Chase "Bolo" Boats Around Lake Onega fBy Associated Pres MEDVEJIA CORA, Russian Lap land, via London, July 28. Two tiny American "warcraft," a thlty-foot mo tor-boat from the cruiser Galveston, and the twenty-four foot motor-boat from the yacht Yankton, each manned by Yankee jacktars and carrying ma chine guns and light artillery have been playing an important role in keeping the north end of Lake Onega clear of the Bolshevik raider boats while the allied land forces moved along the shore toward Petrozavodsk. These boats, which have been renamed Atlanta and Georgia, were brought nearly six hundred miles by rail from Murmansk and were the first Allied warcraft launched on Lake Onega. Since then British and Russian craft have been launched. The Atlanta had a close shave a few weeks ago in a fifty minute engagement with a large Bolshevik Bteamer which outranged the Atlanta's guns. Some of the shells struck within ten yards of the Atlanta which sought safety at the beach maintaining a running fire, but the Bolsheviki gave up the chase. Farmers Union Plan Has Complications in FranCC (By Associated Tress) PARIS, Aug. 27. The efforts of the leaders of the Federation of Labor to unite the different associations of agricultural and horticultural laborers of France into a single section attached to the federation have developed a serious complication. The lines established for the organization of th agricultural section of the federation would admit only 1,500,000 laborers while the active agricultural population is about 8,000,000, a large majority being owners of land and holders on lease or on sharing arrangements. The eventuality the labor leaders are now considering is a possible conflict between the great majority and the minority that would come into the federation. The majority is largely made up of small farmers from whom resistance to the extension of the eight hour law to agriculture is anticipated, making them impossible as recruits for the federation. Bryan Gives Three Great Life Decisions "I cannof see how any man or woman can face the fine young people of our schools and not salute them and say, there's my hope,' for if they are not, what is? I cannot see how any teacher can expect that, while he decreases, the child can increase continually," said President Elmer Bryan, of Colgate college, before the. teach ers institute Wednesday morning at the Chautauqua. Building his theme on the law that in youth the man or woman makes the three greatest decisions as a rule of his entire life, to which other decisions are but corollaries, the speaker span his lecture over the meaning of youth as he sees it. "What shall I do? Whom shall I serve, and with whom shall I mate, are the three great questions which youth answers. I can safely say that no greater ones are made, although others may be bard," said the speaker. Goes to Jail for 30 Days: Charge. Contempt J ' 1 -r J. T.

SHANTUNG STAND POLITICAL MOVE M' CUMBER SAYS Effort Made to Kill Treaty, Charges Republican Senator Claims Blow at China. fBy Associated Press) WASHINGTON, August 27. Declar ing the Republican majority of the foreign relations committee was attempting by the Shantung amendment to the peace treaty to drive a "poisened dagger" into the peace treaty, and to place the United States in the position of a "big bully," Senator McCumber of North Dakota, the only Republican member of the committee who vated against the amendment, asked the senate Tuesday afternoon to overrule the committee's action. The speaker said: "No greater blow could be struck at the real interests of China," than by the commit tee amendment, the actual purpose of which, he asserted, was to kill the treaty and the league. The amend ment provides that the old German rights In Shantung province shall go to China instead of Japan. "Why did the majority of this committee pause in the midst of their hearings to make this particular amendment?" he continued, "and then proceed with the 'usual leisure to lay out dates for further hearings which will consume a week or so more? The purpose is apparent. It is to signify to the country that the senate is hostile to the treaty. It is to put Japan in a position where she cannot without an appearance of being coerced do what she has promised to do. It is to create trouble between this country and Japan and thereby send the first dagger thrust into the body of this treaty. 8ees War with Japanese. "It it an act of true friendship toward China, or a mere political move to defeat the treaty? If its sponsors now fail to come forward and openly nloHpA that t To nan la HWwAn At rt j this treaty then the United States will proceed single-handed and alone to drive Japan out of China will renew this world war, and send our soldiers into the orient to fight for her,, then by this act they are betraying China with a false kiss. "They know and we know, that this country will never go to war against Japan to prevent Japan from doing Just what we have allowed every other nation to do in China without a protest. With the league of nations China obtains an assurance which is tantemount to a guaranty by all the world that not only will Japan return to China what Germany wrested from her in 1898, but henceforth and so long as this league shall last, no other nation shall rob China of one inch of her tetritory or exercise any control over her people inconsistent with the claims of complete independence and sovereignty."
