PHONE 391 Red Cross Chief Speaks Plainly on Southern Relief John B. Payne Savs Florida Scene of Humanitarian Efforts and Sel fish Business Interests. Washington, Oct. 4. Re-emphas izing that Florida's storm sufferere are in greater need "than the inter csts there would have us believe," John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, told the annual convention of that organization today that the time had' come for decisive actio against the propaganda actlvi ties of "officials and special interests. Laying aside his prepared address, in which he declared that existence of the Red Cross again had been justi fied bv the "dreadful disaster" to Florida, Mr. Payne asserted there was going cn in that state a "conflict be tween businea interests." The time has come he said, when "we must con sider Ferlously whether it is too late to renew our campaign for the relief for the poor and stricken in the storm area. Tho first intimation he had about "what was going on," the chairman said, was when tho chairman of the Chicago chapter "called me on the teVohone and read me the message Governor Martin had sent to th mayor of Chicago, thanking him for offers and aid and assuring the mayor that he, the governor, would let him know If further assistance wns necessary "At first." Mr. Payne asserted, "I could scarcely believe that a governor would make such a statement right at the height of a campaign to raise money for the poor people of his state "I suppose," he continued, "that the desire of a group to protect its buriness Interests is a natural weak- nesc. It is time, however, for the American Red Cross to speak out he said, and the American people should be "ready to go forward and provide adequate relief for the many .people in Florida, who are in dire need of it." Contributions to the Florida relief fund total $3,118,000 to date. A fund of $5,000,000 is sought. TO SHOW CORN BORERS Detroit, Mich. Oct. 3.

The exhibit will have a direct ap peal to exposition visitors from the corn belt, who have viewed with ap prehension the steady, unchanged movement of the borer westward. NOTED DISTILLER A DRY; A DRINK HAKES HIM ILL London, Oct. 1. Visitors to a Lon don restaurant found a middle-aged man lunching alone and sipping with droll solemnity and two straps a very soft ginger-beer. He was Lord Dewar, managing director of the not ed firm of distillers which bears his name. "Do you always drink that?" he was asked. "Usually," he replied. "You know jit Js not generally realized that peo- 'pie Jn whisky trade are the quintes sense of sobriety. Personally, if I take a single glass of Dort or cham- Says Every Human Being Has Broken Laws Senator Reed Believes So Many Laws Have Been nacted that Every one Has Broken One or More Omaha, Oct. 4. So many laws j have been enacted in the United States that it is probable that every human being in the nation more than ten years old has violated some stat ute or law," Senator James Reed of Missouri, declared in an address here tonight for a "return to the old faith of nationalism." "We have stretched the constitu tion of the United States to the breaking point," Senator Reed, who is here in behalf of the congressional candidacy of Grenville I. North, democrat, second district, said. "We have evaded its plain terms and pro visions by various subterfuges and practices. We have created in Wash ington a vast machine employing 600,000 people engaged in every line of human activity, from secretly spy ing upon citizens to tho judicial con struction of the laws of our land. "We have written upon the stat ute books of this country over 600, 000 laws and the federal govern ment has in excess of 10,000. We have established bureaus to regulate maternity, foods and drink. We have forbidden so many things that it is probable that not a single human be ing" In the United States over ten years has not violated some statute law." Should Reflect Patriotism. The Missouri senator declared that the great need of the United States is an American congress and an American president, who reflect the patriotism and the love of country which burns in the hearts of the great people of our land. He advocated rejection of tho policy of internationalism in favor of nationalism; favored some middle course, whereby the prohibition law might not make so many law violat ors out of millions of good citizens; condemned the administration for wilful failure to recognize the needs of the west in river navigation and declared that the United States is nearly $200,000,000 a year loser by proposed debt settlements with Eng land, France and Italy alone. "If President Coolidge will but say the word, the present congress tas past congresses would) will ap propriate enough mcney speedily to solve the river navigation problem," b'enater Reed said. "Eut in every instance the presi dent and his advisors have refused to yield, except when forced to do so by a threatened revolt of con gress. "The trouble in that the mind of the president is centered more upon the prosperity of New England man ufacturers than upon the welfare of the farmers of this great central west." "Ignorance Stalks Land." "Ignorance, staiks thru the land." he said. "Education i3 grossly lack ing. Banks are failing by the hun dreds. Farmers are in distress. Forty milliou agriculturists are compel'.c 1 to sell their products on the l-".el of European prices, forced by law to take prices fixed by trusts and combines, which operate backed by a tariff act asked for the expressed purpose cf enabling thorn lo charge high prices to the American consum er." Senator Reed did not advocate opening the flood gates to admit liquor to the country, but he said that "somewhere between the ex tremists, who seek to force prohibi tion on the people by statute and by ever Increasing penalties, and the other individuals who would flood the ra.iir.-n with intoxicants, there must fco a sane middle ground. The manufacture rnd sale of intoxicants must be strictly regulated and pos sibly conducted as it Is In Canada, by the government Itself." "The proM'ntion law has been up on the statute becks for about seven years," the senator said. "It's direct cost of enforcement has been In ex cess of $120,000,000. The loss of possible revenue runs into the thou sands of millions of dollars and yet, according to the testimony of the prohibition director, while there were less than 600 licensed stills In the country prior to prohibition and the number of illicit stills was incon sequential, his department seized 72. 600 illicit stills in one year and prob ably has not captured one of ten." MELLON IS CAUTIOUS Vashingten, . Oct. 4. Editors of trade papers called on Secretary Mellon today, received an optimistic picture of business condition in the country, and were told it is too early to figure on tax reduction. With a prospective revenue well. over the original estimates in sight, the secretary said that more than 200 million dollars of this year's prospective surplus will be composed of receipts which will not recur next year, such as back taxes, repayments by railroads nndreturn to the treas ury of funds spent in federal fajm.l loan bonds. ! As a result the government, fca.' added, would have only a comfortable margin next year unless business conditions improve materially, which he does not count on.

Herring, et ToVtio, who lias informed Secretary of Commerce Hoover cf a more op timistic view of business conditions in Japan. The island kingdom stocd fourth in the Mat of America's customers dur ing the year ending July 1, with a to tal buying cf about ?50,000,000 and any progress noted in that coun try will mean, in all probability, dol lars and cents in the pockets of ex porters in the United States. Herring said that the favorable viewpoint of the Japanese commercial situation conies as a result of contin ued excellent crop conditions. He added: "The continued advance in ex change, however, is adversely affect-1 ing exports, particularly raw silk and I cot ton vans. On the other hand, a few lines of import marchandise which; were unsalable at low exchange arc; new being marketed." ! MAUN A LOA RISING ! S0DILY INTO AIR Honolulu, Oct. 3. The great foor of Kilaue crater and much of the mountain side of Manna Loa in the vicinity of the colaro is rising bod ily into the air, according to scien tists taking observations at the plnce, and this evidence of tremendous pressure in the mountain points to another eruption. These men are convinced that Kilauea will erupt "sooner or later." but they decline to hazard a guess as to the approximate time this will occur. Very decided tilting of the crater floor during the month of July indicated that an eruption mif ht oc cur this summer, but this tilting sub sided temporarily and has only late ly begun again.
