PAGE SIX NEGRO’S SUIT “FOR DAMAGES IS DISMISSED : Interstate Commerce mission Drops Case For Want of Jurisdiction Washington, May 14—(AP)—The in- terstate commerce commission has dismissed for want of jurisdiction a long fought case involving the ac- commodations furnished to negroes aboard vlad lags trains. r. E. Crosby, a negro, sought $120,- 000 damages for alleged failure of the St, Louis-San Francisco railway and others to furnish him and negro pas- Sengers in general the same train and station. privileges as afforded to white passengers. Allegations of undue prejudice against negroes, the commission said, werg not shown with sufficient defi- niteness to warrant the entry of an order. It was added that the commis- sion had no jurisdiction tosaward punitive or exemplary damages. Crosby charged that in addition failure of the roads to give him a commodations similar to those accord- ‘ed-the whites, Pullman accommoda- tions were refused him and that in other ways he was subjected to un- Teasonable regulations in violation of the interstate commerce act. ‘The railroads declared the allega- ‘tions, even if truc, did not constitute wiolations of the a Capital City Track Meet to’Be Held in Bismarck Tomorrow At least 120 entrants in the Capital City track meet, representing 15 schools in th ction lof the state, will be in Bi tomorrow for the annual district event.

The manufacturer's protetted by a tariff. Labor's protected by immi- gration restrictions. Farmer Needs Protection The farmer's protected by nothing at all. He has to buy in a highly protected market, at fancy prices.. He has t sell in'a wide open market, for what he can get. The kind ‘of protection that manu- facturing and labor profit by would not do the farmer any good. Foreign competition’s what manu- facturing and labor are afraid of and the tariff wall and immigration re- strictions shut it out. What bothers the farmer is that he produces a lot more than the whole United States can cat up. The price of what there's too much of always is low. The farmer exports all he can but Europe's too poor to be a good cus- tomer. Agriculture needs some way of boosting its products’ prices here at home. The Plan Haugen plans to have the govern- ment take the American farmer's sur- plus off his hands every year, at prices in proportion to the prices of manufactures and of labor. With no surplus to underbid him, the farmer can put up his rates to the public in this country. The government will have unload: ed the surplus abroad, in the mean- time. Probably it | have done it at a loss but it will straighten that out with the farmer later on. That's the Haugen plan. | Yes, it will increase the cost of living, he agrees, but he says it’s got to be done or agriculture’s ruined, and when it’s ruined, so is everybody else. The presidential attitude is that the ‘scheme’s “economically —un- sound.” i a Before Cook, had axtonished and : nearly hoaxed’ the entire world. Wellman’s Ship And what an odd, unmanageable contraption this pioneer “America” was! Only 164 feet long, diminutive engines, one of of 25 horsepower, Its speed miles an hour. Its cabin was ‘boat, that could be detached. Besides the crew of three, it carried.an entire team of Arctic huskies. Its tail could be let down and dragged like an anchor, “Yet it was not so different from the ‘Norge,’” says Wellman. “The principles of construction were the same, but ‘better engines and new compasses have been developed. “We started from Dane’s Island, a point 30 miles distant from Amund- sen’s base. Weather was perfect. About 175 miles north of Spitzbergen we were moving along splendidly. Below us stretched the Arctic ice, he- hind glistened the last peaks of land. It was the happiest day of my life. “Then, suddenly, we shot high into the air! 7 “What happened was that the tail broke off. We fished for it with grappling irons, but vainly. “The ‘America’ was so unbalanced that navigating was almost impos- sible. However, we managed to get back to Dane’s Island. 2 Leather Was Cut “There I discovered the leather that held the tail together had been cut with a knife so its strength was about 10 per cent of normal i That ended the Wellman expedi- tion. On the way home Wellman learned of Cook's ‘claim. Next year, with a remodeled “America,” he started, from Atlantic City, N. in a daring’ attempt to fly over the Atlantic ocean. How the crew barely escaped alive after flying 1,000 miles is another story. ju “Years later.” says Wellman, “I discovered who had cut the cquili- brator, and why.
