Demand Farm
Act Repeal in
Bitter Battle
Legge, Hyde Defend Measure While
Chamber Delegates Assail It;
Charges Hurled.
Washington, April 30. With bit
ter accusations that government
money is wrecking private enterprise,
repeal of the federal farm act was
demanded in the sessions of the Unit
ed States Chamber of Commerce con
vention Wednesday.
With Farm Board Chairman Legge
end Secretary of Agriculture Hyde
arrayed against a powerful insurgent
'group of mid-western delegates, the
farm board furore impending since
the opening of the natinoal gather
ing, broke loose with caustic vigor.
Legge, addressing the board, open
ed the fight with an explanation of
the objects of the board and its aims
in farm relief, ajid charged that
'undoubtedly you gentlemen know
more about the agricultural situation
nd how to meet it than I do, and
have made mat ciear.
Charges Heckling.
lie added, bitingly, that the cham
ber of commerce, however, has con
fined itself to heckling criticism and
has made no constructive suggestions
whatsoever.
Following Legge was Daniel A.
Millett of Denver, investment banker,
who characterized the act as part of
a "fantastic dream."
Being an "interference with
the economic law," he added, it
" tends to failure naturally, and
brings not stability but unset
; tlement and distress in business
and disaster if continued."
He summed up his demands under
jtwo heads, repeal of the farm relief
act and permanent abandonment of
all similar attempts, and revision of
Jhe tariff downward instead of up
wards. In the open discussion that fol
lowed the midwest insurgents, lead
ers of the anti-farm relief element,
held holiday. After six speakers had
bitterly assailed the working of the
farm board. Secretary Hyde, informal
listener, asked to be heard.
Hyde in Defense.
He defended the general mechan
ism of the relief program, but added
.that he is not in full agreement with
the farm loans principle. This prop
osition, however, is responsible solely
"to the wild men of the senate," he
told the group.
He denied the board has any in
dention of "price pegging." but does
admittedly intend to influence the
quantity of production.
Late In the open discussion the
farm board had one more champion
in the person of John Brandt, rep'rg
sentative of the Land o' Lakes cream
eries In Minnesota which recently
received a large loan from the board.
"If this act," he said, "had
been passed for the benefit of the
industries here represented and
the loans made to them, the en
tire $500,000,000 might be lost
and we would never hear a word
about it here."
The antagonists of the board con
sisted mainly of owners of farm-con
nected enterprises which it ha3 claim
ed are now forced to cust profits due
to competition of co-operative asso
ciations operating with funds sup
plied by the farm board. Omaha

MAY FILE MURDER CHARGES
Des Moines Police said Tuesday
night filing of murder charges
against Kenneth Sonderleiter and
Clarence Campbell, said to be an
agent for a Chicago litquor syndicate,
will bex withheld pending the re
turn of a police inspector from an
unknown city where the bullet,
which killed James Harris in a li
quor feud Saturday, was taken for
identification. The inspetor also took
with him all firearms seized from
the principals in the shooting. An
expert chemist of criminology will
be consulted and police believe he
can determine positively whether
the shot that fatally injured Harris
was fired from any of the weapons
of officials.
Meanwhile, a three year old li
quor injunction against Sonderleiter
was dug out of court records and an
additional charge of contempt of
court placed against him since a
small quantity of liquor was found
in his home when he was taken into
custody immediately after the shoot
ing. Sonderleiter was ordered to ap
pear Saturday to answer the con
tempt charge.
Sonderleiter is accused of being
an accessory before the fact in the
shooting of Harris and is being held
under bonds of $50,500.
RAIN HELPS FARM LANDS
Falls City Recent rains have
provided Richardson county farm
lands with abundant moisture and
the crop outlook for all grains ex
cept wheat is far above the average
for this time of year, Henry Wyatt,
government weather observer, has re
ported. Wyatt said that only an 85 per
cent crop was in prospect for wheat
because of damage by the Hessian
fiy and failure of many farmers to
rotate their crops. The observer
stated that corn is being planted
much earlier than usual. lie estim
ates that almost 25 percent "Df the
crop has already been planted In
Richardson county.
"Prospects of a bumper apple crop
are excellent," Wyatt asserted, "al
tho it is too early to make an ac
curate estimate of the yield." He
said all fruit had escaped the. late
frosts.

be here."
The president replied:
"Mr. Secretary. I wish to
thank you and the other mem

ed with many seals and ribbons. The
president immediately sent it to the
state department to be deposited in
a vault.
Fight is Certain.
The terms already have been pub
lished and widely discussed in the
senate, where a fight is imminent.

afTairs committees plan to hold hear
ings and get the benefit of the views
of naval experts, before agreeing to
any pact which may weaken the
American navy, it was stated.
While the delegates declined to
discuss terms of the treaty it was un
derstood that the so-called escalator
clause by which Great Britain is giv
en the right to begin unlimited con
struction of warships if it considers
itself menaced by France, the restric
tion non American building of cruis
ers of the 10-000 ton class, and the
clause which gives Japan an equality

the items upon which the fight in the
senate will center. Omaha Bee-

Nebraska Prison
Warden Defend
La
Thomas' Tactics
Did Right by Taking to Cover Dur
ing the Ohio Fire, Warden
Fenton Declares
Lincoln, April 30. Warden Wil
liam E. Fenton of Nebraska st;:te
penitentiary believes Warden P. L
Thomas of Ohio state prison has
been too severely criticized for his
conduct in the fire which took the
lives of 322 convicts. Fenton and
Thomas are close friends.
Thomas was censured for remain
ing outside the walls, but he had
many reasons to do no, says Warden
Fenton.
"Doubtless he knew that a
revolt was in the making and
had heard that rioters planned
to 'gret him," the Nebraskan
asserted. "It would have been
folly to enter the prison during
the excitement.
"Then, too, he probably
" knew all that" was going on In
side and could direct fire
fighters as well from outside."
Trcuble Either Way
No matter what Warden Thomas
had done, he'd be in for a great share
of blame, Mr. Fenton believes.
He recalled that in an attempt
ed prison break at Nebraska pris
on several years ago, he walked into
the midst of a gun battle and "shot
it out" with Fred Brown, the Den-
son "chain man" sent up from Om
aha, and his partner Smith.
"I was severely criticized
for risking my life," said War
den Fenton. "People said I
should not have entered the
fight because I have subordi
nates for such work.
"If I hadn't got into the bat
tle, the same critics would have
said I was afraid, just as they're
raying Warden Thomas was
afraid."
The Nebraska warden and the
Ohio warden correspond and have
discussed prison administration.
Mr. Fenton believes Thomas had
a job too big for one man to handle.
Commends Thomas
"No prison administrator
should have more than 1,000
convicts; Thomas had 4,300,"
he declared.
"He could not possibly keep
in touch with the men. If that
had been possible there would
be no revolt now, for Thomas
is one of the ablest wardens in
the country. He has had much
experience."
Mr. Fenton could not, however,
excuse the uncleanlincss of the Ohio
prison.
"With - hundreds of men to
clean up," he said, "a prison
should be spic and span. Ne
braska penitentiary is immacu
late." Keeping Ohio prison clean would
be a great task, according to Warden
Fenton. The cellhouses arc not
modern and the entire plant is very
eld, he said. Bee-News.

K0HLER E00XS ANALYZED
Sheboygan Bookkeeping meth
ods of the Kohler company wire
analyzed Wednesday in the ouster
trial of Governor Kohler of Wiscon
sin, millionaire manufacturer, who
is charged with violating the state
ocrrupt practices act. Prosecuting at
torneys called A. A. Braum, chief ac
countant for the company, and In
troduced voluminous ledgers and
bills in an effort to show that the
concern aided the governor's cam
paign. Brnun's testimony, however, sup
ported the defense in its contention
that free meals and other entertain
ment offered visitors to the "model
village" of Kohler, Wis., during the
102S primary were listed separately
and paid by individual supporters.
He repeated the governor's previous
statement that the Kohler company
had been ordered to "keep out of the
campaign." The separate account
ing was ordered. Braun said, at the
outset of the governor's campaign.
The prosecution dieted from him the
answer that while he received or
