Senator Gooding Demands Farm and Reclamation Aid » ’ ""T * Coolidge Told taws Must Be Parsed Before Congress Adjonrns Haugen Forecasts Victory. Dy rnhenal Sendee. Washington, May 28.—Congress must enact agricultural and reclama tion relief legislation before adjourn ment. Senator Gooding, republican, of Idaho told President Coolldge In a conference at the White House to day. The difficulties of the farm situation and Its solution were brought emphat ically to the president’s attention during the day. Senator Gooding and Representative French of Idaho, also a republican, stressed the trou bles in the reclamation districts. Representative Snell of New York and Representative Haugen of Iowa brought conflicting views as to the prospects of the McNary-Haugen agricultural export corporation meas ure now pending before the house of representatives. Snell expressed the opinion that the opposition would succeed In defeating the hill on the final roll call In the house, while Haugen, one of the au thors of the measure, forecast ulti mate victory. The McNary Haugen measure Is srh'Jduled to be called tip again in the house tomorrow for further considera tion In the hope of obtaining a final roll cull by the end of the week. Meantime, senators from agricultur al states have yet to arrive at Borne agreement as to what measure shall have the right of way. The McNary Haugen bill and the Norris Sinclair bill, with the hacking of Senator Nor ris of Nebraska, are both pending in the senate, which already has defeat ed the Norbeck-Hurtness measure, en dorsed by the president and supported by Senator Nnrbeck of South Dakota. The prospects for adjournment on June 7 have been dimmed by the de mand of Senator 1’nderwood, demo crat. of Alabama, that the senate shall have an opportunity to vote upon the disposition o{ the Muscle Shoals proj ect. Southern senators adhere to the plan for leasing the project to Henry Ford despite the overwhelming vote of the senate committee on agricul ture in favor of the Norris plan for government operation.

According to the company's re ports, the cable was broken on No vember 14. 1928, and on January 3 and January 14, 1924. In one In stance, the cable showed evidence of having been chopped In two, while on the other occasions ft was strained and pulled apart, apparently by a chip's anchor or anchor chain. The three breaks occurred at ap proximately the same point, 26 miles out, In the vicinity of the Farrallon Islands. Boats In commerce or gov ernment service never anchor at the point of the breaks and the only Inference Is that the cable was fouled by rum runners laying off shore.

Thrown From Seawall in Frolic, Killed Ohio Youth Believed to Have Been Hit on Head by Sail Mast—Affair Investigated. Annapolis, Md., May 28—Thrown overboard from the sea wall at the naval academy by classmate^ In an annual frolic, Midshipman K. ft. Smith of Kent, O., was killed this afternoon. It was believed he was struck on the head hv the mast of a small sailboat which overturned just before he was thrown in. For years it. has been the custom for members of the second class to throw each other overboard on the occasion of receiving their class rings.

They swam to nenrbv cat boats in order to climb out of the water, three of the number climbing in on one side at the same time. It is thought the mast of one of the boats struck Smith in the head as he sank. Immediately ihe water was filled with other midshipmen, diving for their comrade. Ho was < brought to the surface in about four ] minutes and immediately given medi cal attention. , At the end of an hour’s futile ef- ] forts to resuscitate him he was pro- • nounced dead. • A board of officers has been ap pointed by AdmiraJ Wilson, superin tendent of the academy, to Investi gate the affair, which, however, is regarded as purely a ridden t a 1.

At the height of the attack a crippled girl, who has been praying for the young humanitarian, sudden ly rises and walks toward him with out assistance. And those who came to rage against him remain to do him reverence. The cast contains Helen Joy, Mitchell Harris, Hay Sea brook, Henry Hall, Harry H.
