Joining Dr. H. L. Russell, former dean of the college of agriculture, University of Wisconsin, in the belief the problem for world farmers is to) readjust production to existing needs, Falter said it was “obvious that the world-wide agricultural crisis may only be solved by international means ‘based on a world-wide scale.” The proposed agreement, he said, should “encompass on one hand the adaptation of the production to the consumption by means of organizing such production with a view to its' regulation, and on the. other hand should aim to a proper organization ROBERT W.

When Harry F. Sinclair, millionaire oil operator, refused to testify to a sena*> committee, the senate cited him for contempt and he was sub- sequently sent to jail by the court. Miss Burroughs, formerly treasurer for the Cannon-Anti-Smith organiza- tion in Virginie, was called before the committee Thursday at the begin- ning of its investigation into Bishop James Cannon’s campaign activities. She refused flatly to testify after @ statement which chal- lenged the authority of the committee to make the investigation. Senator Nye said he would ask the committee to consider next week “in- formation which may be found the basis for reporting to the senate a violation of the corrupt practices act.” He indicated the committee would seek no further testimony in its search for the use of money by Bishop Can- non in the 1928 campaign. Nye persisted in his ques- tioning. “You feel you are acting on good mn this position?” fied of her position.

The history of this outstanding mu- sical organization is particularly in- teresting because of its appearance here, scheduled for 8:30 p. m., Friday night at the city auditorium. During the early years at the uni- versity comparatively little attention was given to music but about 20 years ago both men’s and women's glee clubs were organized. These func- tioned separately until 1926 when the clubs were combined into a chorus, although most of their work contin- ued to be done separately. The chorus met with popular ap- proval and the combined glee clubs were more widely acclaimed than either singing alone, with the result that, last year, the separate glee club plan was dropped and the mixed group, known as the Madrigal club, took its place. The total membership of the club for this year is 62 and of these 44 will appear in the concert here. ‘With the exception of one song, all of the singing is done without uccom- panist. The reportoire consists of 20 songs, all memorized and practiced until the club became letter-perfect in their rendition. The music is ar- ranged for from four to eight voices and represents almost all periods of (Continued on page eight) -|Eight Surgeons to Address Dentists Fargo, N. D.

Frank A. Leffingwell, Dallas, repre- senting the Terminal Grain company of Fort Worth which has a separate suit pending against the commission, asked leave to consolidate this action with the railways’ injunction suit now on trial. He said the differences between grain shipping rates in his territory and the Kansas City territory would give advantages to the latter which they do not now enjoy. Judge Wal- ter C. Lindley interposed a question. “Do you mean that Texas men want this injunction and Kansas City men do not?” “Yes,” replied Leffingwell. Counsel for the government enter- ed an objection to consolidation of the Texas case with that of the rail- toads, and argued the Terminal Grain company had no right to file a separ- ate suit but should come into the rail- way injunction proceedings as an in- tervenor.

She has been missing since the killing, and police said they had no information whether she was dead or alive. ‘The search for Crowley began two months ago when he wounded a Bronx patrolman who wanted to ques- tion him.
