Quoting . trom a current news report to the effect thatl,800,000,000pounds of sugar have recently been sent to Europe, he urged an embargo on sugar until the needs of America have been met. "At this moment the molt brazen challenge the government has had comes from the gamblers in sugar," he said. "We are told refineries are unable to provide for the enor mous new stocks of sugar, but a corner in sugar has evidently been former right under the eyes of the Department of Justice.

By JOHN GILMORE O'ROURKE Since the subject of interplanetary communication has entered the mind of man, Mars has been the planet most often referred, to. Mars is vastly different from our earth. Its diameter is slightly over one-half that of the earth's, or about 4,200 miles. A body weighing 100 pounds on the earth's surface would weigh but 38 pounds on the surface of Mars. Mars has a very thin atmosphere and is also yery short on water. The mean distance of Mars from the sun is approximately 141,500,000 miles. Thus it receives less - than one-half the light and heat our earth receives. In fact, the maximum temperature on Mars is 30 degrees below zetfi. Imagine, if you can, the poor Creatures on Mars sweltering in the heat of a Martian summer sun with the thermometer rising to the break ing point, 30 degrees, below zero. Far From Favorable. The present opposition of Mars is far from being the most favorable. This year Mars never has or never will' approach the earth closer than 54,000,000 miles. This is because Mars is very near aphelion or its farthest .distance from the sun. However, in the latter part of Au gust, 1924. Mars will approach with in 35,000,000 miles of the earth. Then is the time to start the gabfest with- the Martians. True, ether waves will encounter less resistance in the absolute zero of interstellar space, but are the Martians equipped with a set ot senses similar to ours? But why pick on Mars? Venus is the earth's twin sister in regard to size and mass. Venus has a very dense atmosphere abundant with water vapor, substances so vital to life similar to ours. Venus ap proaches the earth the closest of any member of the solar, system with the exception of the asteroid Eros, 'the moon, and occasionally a comet. Because of the planet's dense atmosphere, little is known of its surface structure. Now comes the question is Venus capable of sup porting life comparable to purs? Probably. But water boils on the surface of Venus.. The mean dis tance of Venus from the sun is 67,' 000,000 miles. Absurd to Believe. It Is absurd to believe that life parallel to ours is present on the planet Mercury. Such metals as tin would melt on his surface because of his close proximity to the sun Mercury receives on an average over seven times as much light and heat as our earth. Of the conditions existing on the major planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, very little is known. All of these planets except jupitor are at all times over 500, 000,000 miles from the earth. The mean distance of Neptune from the sun is 2,800,000,000 miles. To Nefptuneians on the surface of Neptune, the sun would look to them as Venus does to us. However, ac cording to calculations taken from the observations of Zollner, Neptune receives light from the sun equal to 08 or our full moons. Arriving at a common code would be the easiest part of the attempt to establish communications with Other planets. The big problem is, are we hearing Martians, Venusians or eruptions on the surface of the 'sun. Apparatus Would Melt. Why should a Martian be equipped with ears when even on our own planet, living in physical conditions -the same as ours arc animals possessing senses unknown to man. For instance the carrier pigeon and the cat, each endowed with a sense of location. ' If such conditions prevail on the earth what sort of senses have crea tures inhabiting a sphere whose phy sical Characteristics arc entirely dif ferent from those of the earth? Surely not sight and hearing and the sense of taste. Radio apparatus on Mercury would melt before it had a chance (Continued on Page Two. Column Two.) POLICE SEARCH FOR TWO MEN IN MURDER MYSTERY Skeleton Found Near Superior Identified as Grand Island Youth. Superior, Neb., April 24. (Spe cial.)

Thousands of New Yorkers protested against the high cost of clothing today by watching an overall parade of hun dreds. The parade turned out to be in part a demonstration against prohibition. White elephants in blue denim and chorus girls in automobiles were also in the parade. Hoi Pol Loi in patched up trousers and plain over alls were in the majority. Girls in gingham dresses were al most outnumbered by girls in over alls. Members of the Cheese club, who introduced iview i one to me overall mode, were a bit disappointed. Lead ine the parade behind mounted po lice they expected thousands of 'ol clo' devotees to swing in behind them. hen the movement tailed to materialize at the start, they hoped the parade would gather greater momentum when it reached the-heart of Broadway. , Thousands went to Columbia Cir cle in old clothes for the start of the parade, but preferred to be spectators.

SEEKING MOTHER WHO ABANDONED HIM WHEN CHILD Fairfield Youth Conducts Wide Search for Former Auburn Woman Who Disappeared. Auburn, Neb., April 24. (Spe cial.) Charles Owen Butler, whose home is at Fairfield, Neb., has ar rived here on a nation-wide "search for his mother, whom he has not seen since he was 4 years old. According to his story his mother, Abby Smith, when 16 years of age, lived in Auburn. In 1898, Buffalo Bill's Wild West show made its first visit to Auburn, and one of the men connected with the show was Charles David Butler. He was debonair, sophisticated and a romantic figure in the eyes of Abby Smith. It was love at first sight and the young couple were so infatuated that with less than a day's court ship on the part of the young showman he won the , girl for a bride. They left Auburn that night with the show, man and wife. Several years passed and three children were born to the couple who had settled at Beaumont, Tex. One night the mother deserted him -and her children. From that day to this no trace could be found of her., Her husband is now an old man and her son is 19 years old. He came here to find her father, O. T. Smith, but discovered that the latter had been dead man years. Young Butler wants to find his mother, not only for sentimental reasons, but also because her signa ture is necessary for the quieting of title to some valuable property. He says he will never give up the search until he has indisputable evi dence that she is dead. Johnson's Campaign in New Jersey Cost $10,747 Trenton, N. J., April 24.

INSURGENT RAILWAY STAND SOLID Members of "Outlaw" Switch men's Organization Jor Sec ond Time in Week, Refuse to Return to Work at Chicago. SHEA ISSUES WARNING TO ADJUSTMENT BOARD Vice-President of Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen Says Men Are "Fed Up on Promises and Delays." By The Associated Freaa. Chicago,. April 24. The insurgent rail strike in the Chicago terminal district today developed into a finish fight, with the insurgents, ap parently determined not to end the walkout until their demands are granted. Equally firm, railroad offi cials continued to ignore the strik ers, t The strikers definitely put an end to attempts of their leaders for a settlement when they rejected yes terday, for the second time within a week, a proposal to -return to work. Steady progress toward effacing the effects of the walkout, now in its fourth week, was reported today by railroad officials throughout the central and far west. Eighty-three per cent of the normal switching crews were reported at work in the Chicago district and freight traffic was said to be nearing normal. Crews at work have been swelled daily by returning strikers and the importation of "loyal" brotherhood men from other cities. Firemen's BrotherLod Chief . Says Men Tired of Promises Washington, April 24.- Warning ! against further delay in settling the! wage demands ot the Z.UUU.UUU rail- toad workers of the country, j Timothy Shea, vice president of the brotherhood or .Locomotive Fire men, told'the railroad labor board today that the men "were fed up on promises, and dead, dog-tired of de lays." . ' Mr. Shea presented the demands of the firemen and hostlers for a basic living wage of $6.50 a day, with differentials for skill, respon sibility experience and the increase in the cost of living since the de mands were first presented fast June. When he had urged the strikine railroad men in the east to return to w.ork, she said, their almost uni versal justification for strike was that they and their families were starving at work and "thev might just as well-starve not working." Men Were Patriotic. Mr. Shea said the railroad work ers had been patient and they had been "patriotic. We were patriotic. he said. "while the thousands and tens of thousands of war millionaires were being created. We have been patient while the profiteers have paused in their orgy of spending ill-gotten gains only long enough to skyrocket prices still higher and make a mock ery of our government's promise that living costs would be reduced. Oentlemen, the tune has come W'ken our people say they will no longer be patriotic only to be plun dered, nor patient only to be pauper ized. They have learned by bitter experience that their landlords are not 'patriotic' and that their grocers are not 'patient.' They are fed up on promises, and they are dead, dog- tired of delays.

Lincoln,' April 24. (Specials Action of Acting Governor Barrows in granting a pardon to Ray Sandlo vich, 19 years old, convicted of re ceiving stolen property, caused the Commercial club of Lincoln to call a meeting at noon today in which the acting governor was requested to be present and explain why the pardon was granted. After a dis cussion of the pardon the club ad journed without taking action. . Mr. Barrows in explaining his action said that the prosecuting attorney at the . time of the trial, Frank Peterson, had made the rec Frank Peterson, had made the recommendation for. pardon on the grounds that Ray had given valu able evidence against the leaders of the gang and had been promised that if he did so the county attor ney would recommend to the dis trict judge a fine instead of a jail sentence. The judge refused to fol low the recommendation and the lieutenant governor said Mr. Peter son asked that a pardon be granted if there was no other way to give Sandlwich his freedom in fullfilment of the state pledges. Draws Others. County Attorney Matson, now serving, and the district judge, who sentenced Sandlovitch, both agreed not to oppose the pardon, Mr. Bar rows said. He also showed that H. H. Antles, secretary of the De partment of Public Welfare, had made an investigation and reported that during the time Sandlovitch had been out, pending court pro cedings, . a period of nearly two years, he had conducted himself as a good citizen and showed every sign of trying to rehabilitate him self and live right. Mayor Miller of Lincoln, one of the leaders in opposition to the par don, said that he had been told by competent authorities that the only place for professional automobile thieves was in the penitentiary as there was no other remedy. He said that if the case was in court and the club members were ' the jury he would be willing to leave the case without further argument. The mayor said that it had been shown that brothers of Ray were implicated in the larceny of automobiles and that he did not consider the youth blameless. Harry Reese,- attorney of Lincoln, said that he believed that Lieutenant Governor Barrows should be com mended for his action. "He said he was very familiar with the case and that Sandlovich had every reason to believe that when the county attor- new promised to appear before the judge and recommend a fine that the judge would so act. This proceed- ure, . he said, was tollowed almost unanimously in federal and district courts when evidence was needed to convict. He said that the people of the state ought to be proud of the fact that they had a lieutenant governor who had the nerve to do as he thought rieht, knowing that it would perhaps hurt him politically, and the people of Lincoln ought to commend him rather than censure him, CHICAGO PACKERS COMPLETE LARGE SALE TO GERMANY Close Contract for $45,000,000 Worth of Provisions De livery. Starts at Once. Chicago, April 24. Chicago pack ers have completed sale of $45,00U, 000 of provisions to the German gov ernment, it was announced today by J. Ogden Armour, of Armour & Co. Delivery of the meat, mostly pork products, will start at once. The supplies have been stored in ware houses at Hamburg, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and in Scandinavia for several months. The transaction does not repre sent new business, Armour & Co. pointed out, as the meat was shipped shortly after the armistice in the ex pectation of a big demand in the Central European countries. The adverse I exchange situation held up delivery. Under present arrange ments, payment is to be made by Germany under a special amortiza tion plan. Armour & Co. issued a statement announcing that retail meat prices, temporarily at least, will continue as a result of the "outlaw" switchmen's strike. While inbound livestock ship ments are approaching normal rail roads are unable to furnish sufficient refrigerator cars to handle the dressed meat, and as a result the plants are not operating at full capacity.
