Capper Urges Freight Cut By P. C. PO\VELL, Washington CurrpNpondent The Omiilu Hee. j^fs-Vashington, Jan. 14.—Following President Coolidge's message to con gress yesterday urging still more credit for the farmers in distress, two mtddlewestern senators today offered remedies for the farmer's ills which w ill give him fair prices for his prod ucts rather than plunge him deeper into debt. Both senators. It. B. Howell of Ne braska and Arthur Capper of Kansas, proposed remedies similar to those net out In The Omaha lice's special wheat growers’ edition of last Sunday. Brings Vp Tariff Question. Senator Howell had the entire (list page of The Bee's edition, emphasiz ing an adequate tariff, readjustment of freight rates for purpose of giving a lower rate for export wheat, reduc tion of 20 to 23 per cent of wheat acreage and serious consideration of Action to Be Demanded at Farm Bank Relief Meet Washington, Jan. 24.—Adminis tration plans for relief of the northwestern agricultural situa tion as outlined ‘ yesterday by President Coolidge in a message to congress, will be developed at a general conference to be held be fore the end of next week, In wheih representatives of banks, business and transportation serv ices will participate. Sec’rctariesi Hoover and Wal lace have been called upon to suggest those to whom invitations • ■Should be sent to attend, In the attempt, it was said, today, ' to "insure a gathering which will be able to do something besides de bale." liepresenalltion at the confer ence is planned to be national rather than sectional. Although bank failures in the grain-grow ing territory hava presented the most acute phase of the problem which the administration Is en deavoring to meet, the pressure on the farmer is considered to have been transferred to the gen eral western community in such degree that more than merely banking or credit measures will bo necessary to effect a refn edy. .1 Secretary Wallace's export wheat cor poration extended In the Congres sional Record. < Arguments set out by Th" Bee showing the large amount of Canad ian wheat raised and shipped into this country were made a part of the Con gressional Record by Congressman Williamson of South Dakota Monday. Capper Attacks Rail Rates. Senator Capper in an address be fore the senate emphasized that part of The Bee's edition which set out the heavy advantage of the Canadian wheat shipper over the American wheat producer. Kxcerpts from the Capper address follow: "During the war when the farmer got $2.25 a bushel for wheat It could shipped from Wichita, Kan., to ■mewater for 15 rents. Now when he gets 80 cents a bushel It costs 26.4 cents for freight, an increase of 11.4 cents per bushel. "It costs 19 cents to ship 100 pounds of wheat from Grenfell, Sas katchewan, to Port Arthur, Ontario, a distance of 700 miles. It coses 45 rents to ship from Wichita to Gal veston, the same number of miles. •■The rnte on wheat from Coults, Alta., to Port William on Jjike Su perior Is 27 cents per hundred while Sweet grass, Mont., just a few miles across the line and 200 miles nearer to Its lake terminal, Duluth, liaa n rate of 43 cents. Distance from Market Hurts. "How the farming Industry Is to continue to sell Its products at near prewar prices and pay freight rates from 50 to 80 tier cent higher than prewar rates Is not clear to any one conversant with the facts. "Voting fanners of the wist ore ad vised to go east to take over Its abandoned and wornout farms by tin) Uillted States Department of Agricul ture because freight rates are high and these farms are near the market. "Whoever expected to see the day that a poor, wornout farm would bo more desirable than a good one. "It lias taken excessive freight rates to bring us to see that point," Hand Greets W. ./. liryan With “Old l ime Religion" NaabUlIe, Trnu., ,lati. 51.—Wil limn Jenning* liryan, who s|>«iil,s here tw ire today, that on "The Hi ,#*fde,” and later on "The ('inning Campaign,” wan met by a large re reption rommlttee, headed by a hand playing "The Old Time Religion.’' York Man to Manage Hi Johnson’s Campaign C.E.Sandlall Norris Out for Senator Today j Petition's Bearing More Than 6,000 Nagies Accompany Filing of Senator's Name. y*" j-niKoin, Jan. 24. -A receipt for a filing fee recently paid for Senator Norris by his supporters at McCook has been received here by A.

SI00,000 Unexplained. It now apears that the Doheny loan is not the same one regarding which Fall previously testified as having obtained from Edward Beale McLean, and that this other J100, 000 is yet to be explained. In other words, Doheny's testimony, in the minds of the committee, raises it tc a 1200,000 transaction. Fall having apparently received that sum after negotiating with Doheny and Sin clair for the tranfer of the oil re serves. Doheny supplemented his testimony with an offer to turn back all tbe property embraced in the Elk Hills lease if it could be ascertained that the government's interests were not properly safeguarded In the lease terms. This offer was presented to the committee by Gavin McNah of San Francisco. Doheny's lawyer, who pro posed that the committee should adopt a resolution asking President Coolidge to appoint a committee of experts to examine all the terms of the lease and then order its cancel lation, if it had been Improperly ex lecutsd. allowing Doheny only the ■amounts already expended in develop ments. High points In Doheny's testimony were: Intended to Employ FaD. 1. Admission by Doheny that ba loaned Fall $10h,000 a month before the lease to the Elk Hills in Califomia was put through, but this Is aside from the $100,000 that Fall is sup posed to have obtained from McLean or someone else connected with the deal. Doheny also stated that he ' propose.! to obtain payment of th# $100,000 Fall note by taking Fall int# hi» employ and taking It out of his salary, after Fall would resign from tbe cabinet. 2. Doheny declared that $100,000 In currency was brought from New York to Washington by his son In a small black hand satchel and that Fall s note, bearing what he con sidered Fall’s signature, wae returned by his sot> and Is now In his pos session. The committee demanded production of th* not# and Doheny promised to get It from his safe de posit box In New Tork, where he be lieves it now Is. S. The $100,000 note, according to Doheny, was payable on demand, but no action lias ever been taken to obtain payment. In drafting th# note no Interest rale was mentioned, nnd Doheny was unable to ear whether Fail wrote the rat# In be fore signing it. Wanted to Help Friend. 4. Doheny told th* oominltt## he loaned the money to Fall solely on account of hi* SO years’ friendship and because Fall was •broke" and explained he might be able to recoup himself If he could purchase the Her rls ranch adjoining hla own land in New Mexico. 5. Doheny’e testimony regarding the loan to Fall la in direct contradic tion to Fall’s testimony before th* committee, that he never at any time approached Doheny on the eubject of borrowing money. Fall will b* re examine,! on this next Monday. 6. Doheny informed th* commit tee that he had been after Fall for many months to return to Washing ton and tell the entire truth about the loan, but that Fall refuted to do so. He stated that when they met In New Orleans last Sunday night. It was agreed that Doheny should ap pear before the committee and reveal details of the loan. T. Asked why he sent the money in currency rather than bv a bank draft, Doheny was unable to recol lect whether h# did this of h s own volition or upon suggest Ion by Fall, Second ( on tract Accepted $. Doheny's testimony also re vealed that the first contract mail* vvtth Kali was merely for preferential rights In a portion of naval reserve No. 1.
