Gain in x\utos Cited to Refute _• Farmers’ Woes Railroad Man Tells Rate Body Plight in Cities Fail to Affect Crop Pro ducers. Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 28.—Argu ments by the western railroads de signed to show that a reduction In ■-train rates would not materially ben efit the farmers and the announce ment by President Charles Donnelly of the Northern Pacific of a 557,000, "00 improvement program for the next three years, featured the Inter state commerce commission grain rate hearing. D. E. Wettling, statistician for the western lines, submitted voluminous tables and figures to support the i laiin that the economic condition of the western territory including North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, lowa, Kansas and Montana is at pres ent better than at any time during the last two years. "The Increase in the number of automobiles purchased In Minnesota during the so-called years of depres sion, 1921 and 1922, was 110,520, or -57.5 per cent," Mr. Wettling declared. In North Dakota the increase was 12,090 cars, or 14.7 per cent Increase. In South Dakota it was 0.911 cars or 6.1 per cent. "In 1921 lowa and South Dakota were running u neck and neck race relative to the number of persons per automobile,” he said. "Now Iowa is a little ahead. It doesn’t seem to me that these figures indicate any very serious condition. It must be remem bered that North and South Dakota ^ have no great metropolis to absorb these purchases.” The purchasing power of tire farm er's dollar he discussed at length. It was pointed out that rentals had rises in the cities while the farmer is not subjected to the same increase in t barges. "1 don’t tlilrk the farmer uses coal in he same ratio as the urbanite," said Mr. Wettling. "The farmer has bis wood lot. With his Individual lighting plant he has no direct Inter est in the high cost of gasoline or electricity. As a whole, T believe, the ndex numbers of the things he has to purchase are exaggerated, and the index numbers of the things he has to sell are minimised." A Queer World Lggs $24,000 a Dozen in New York—And They're 10,000.000 Years Old. Expensive. New York, Nov. 38.—Dinosaur eggs weir quoted today at $3,000 a piece lit directors of the Ameriran Museum of Natural History. The eggs, 35 of them, and a unique lot as the auction •ers put it, were discovered by the Koy Chapman \ndrews expedition in Uongola. Their age has been esti mated at about 10,000,000 years, more or less. Inquiries from individuals in Eng land and Australia who wished to buy r> an egg or two to present to museums led Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn and Mr. \ndrews today to decide on $3,000 apiece as a tentative price for the eggs. They have already been insured for $56,AM, which was the cost of that part of the expedition which led to their discovery. Some of file eggs will be traded to oilier museums that have valuable specimens to spare, and others sold, it was sa'd. Inasmuch as the museum has at present a world eomer on dinosaur eggs, today’s quotation will he firm for some time, Mr. Andrews said, and none of them will be dis posed of until after Prof. Osborn has finished his scientific description of them. * • • I'nappreciative Ram Gardone, Italy, Nov. 38.—Gabriel D'Annunzio, poet-soldier, is laid up with a severe attack of tonsilitls. His Illness is due to exposure, he having insisted In remaining in hia garden here to write a poem while rain -was falling and terrific wind blowing.

New York, Nov. 28.—History is all wrong; blonde beauty predominates south of the Mason and Dixon line—rivil war novels, Swanee river songs and Broadway successes regardless. New York learned this for the first time today. Eighty-eight prize bran ties, competing in a national beauty contest, for no apparent reason fur nished the proof. Thirty-one of, the entrants were rro,n southern cities. Twenty-nine of them are blondes. There isn’t a red head in the party, and who knows if they're bow-legged In this winter of the long skirt?

New York, Nov, 28.—The 18-year old New York girls with astoundingly "modern minds” who bob their hair in the manner of the sphinxlike beauties of Kgypt seem far removed from the days when fainting was a real feminine accomplishment. About the only note of simplicity these days is in their dress. They are wearing no jew els, and frocks I are elongated smocks. When the winds permit they don sandals. And rebel at everything. They' do not rare to have men escort them to lheaters. They meet them in foyers and ask to go home alone—just to Impress their independence upon male minds. Their talk is daringly frank and there is just a tinge of bitterness ex pressed about the. dtslliusionments of life. Chaperones are old-fashioned, and parents are a great annoyance. It Is difficult to think their grand parents once sat on horsehair sofas, embroidered the antimacassars and wouldn't go to the postoffice, until the mall rush was over. 1 remember less than 15 years ago there was a scene in a New York theater where the heroine rains down to the footlights and cried: “I want to have a baby!” Newspapers lam opening performance several young girls waited for the curtain to drop and sneaked away in supreme morti fication. Today they wouldn't give It a passing thought. Nothing today in the theater seems to bring the pious swoon. The plnys dealing with coke fiends, fallen wo men and topics never discussed in the parlor in the old days have their largest attendance among young girls who have not reached their 20s. When they go out to tea they dis cuss the universal discontent of hu manity. There is talk of the dawn of industrial liberty—gathered from radical magazines they peruse while lounging on silken pillows gorging fudge and other sweets. No one seems to know the reason for this sudden reign of hocus pocus Idealism. When the youngsters shed flapperlrm and put away the uke they apparently decided that the flip pant era was over. They must get down to profound thinking and save the world.

O. O. MclNTYRK [Authority of Dry Visits Is Issue r Attornots \rguc Prohibition Officers Mot Civil Vuthoritio#. Is Robert BRir.ardick, Omaha? prohibition agent, as well as thou sands of agents throughout the coun try. a civil officer? This question is uppermost in the mind of Federal Judge Joseph W. Woodrough. This question wag put by Eugene O'Sullivan .of the law firm of O'Sullivan. Jamieson and Southard who yesterday argued at length a mo tion to suppress a search warrant in a liquor case on tlie ground that Sa mardick is not a civil officer and therefore has no right to execute a search and seizure warrant. Judge Woodrough will give his de cision within the next few days. O’Sullivan said, during the course of his vigorous argument, that he had been working on the motion with At torneys Ray Coffey. OeoYge Meachein, Herman Aye and William Lovely. Appointing Power Questioned. Judge Woodrough will have to de ride whether a federal prohibition of ficer. appointed by the commissioner of internal revenue and approved by the secretary of the treasury is a civil officer. The defendant's conten tion is that there is( no statutory authority for the secretary of the treasury to approve such an appoint ment. therefore the appointment is superfluous and has no standing in law. If the motion is sustained, attorneys say the entire method of appointing officers will have to he changed and it is their opinion that a higher class of agents will he hired. O'Sullivan argued that as the pro hibition law Is written today, civil officers can be appointed in the fol lowing three ways: Provision hy Apixdnlinent. First, by the president with the ad vice and consent of the. senate. Second, by a court of law. Third, head? of departments, that is cabinet members and not heads of bureaus, as internal revenue commis sioners or collectors of customs. "The national prohibition act pro vides that search w;arants can be is sued hy following the espionage act," said O’Sullivan, "l.’nder the espionage act, search warrants can only he is sued to civil officers. The old rev enue laws provide for the search but not the seizure and provides further that officers themselves make affi davits and not "stool pigeons." and they must also swear that a fraud has been committed against the United States. It is the opinion of this group of attorneys, that If Judge Woodrough decides in their favor and It is upheld by the higher courts, the attorney general v. ill hate to call in all the thousands of officer agents and then approve some of them. "As Blackstone stated." said O'Sul liven, 'a man’s house !s his castle: the sun and wind may cross ht^ threshold, hut a king cannot.' So ta it with Samai-dJek, Rohrer and all other agents There ta no taw under our statutes that gives fiamardiok the right to search and seize. "The government is dead wrong. It has been Illegal and they should take steps to remedy It. We men who have been working on this motion are will ing to help the United States get on the right path and show them how they can legally search and seize."
