The American Relief Administration will be reimbursed by the soviet gov- ernment for any demurrage loss result- ing from failwre of rail transportation in distributing food supplies, Secretary Hoover said last night. He made the announcement in connection with his recent statement concerning failure of the Russian railways to move inland to famine reglons more than one-fourth of the grain and other foodstuffs stored at seven Russian seaports. Mr. Hoover discussed the relief work yesterday with Prof. A. C. Coolidge of Harvard University, who has returned to the United States to submit a report after acting as chief liaison officer be- tween the soviet government and the American Relief Administration in Mos- cow. After conferring with the Secre- tary, Prof. Coolidge gave out a state- ment of the relief work. “The outstanding fact about the American Relief Administration work at the present time,” he said, “is that it Is being done in spite of difficulties, delays, accidents, imperfections and all other things inevitable In an en- terprise of such dimensions.+ The job is being put through. A second point to note is that the soviet government itself recognizes what we are doing and is co-operating with us heartily. Kamenev himself has declared that the American Rellef Administration has done more than 90 per cent of the foreign relief work so far. The soviet government has to overcome numerous difficulties of transporta- tion and others iff the task of get- ting our food to the people, but it is making great efforts and working hand-in-hand with us. Not only the government but the people recognize that it is America that is helping them during the present crisis and that they owe us a great debt of gratitude. Even the memory o# the comparatively insignificant assistance we gave them in the famine of 1892 has not faded entirely out of their minds and in the present crisis mil- lions of people look on America as their savior. “We have had no cause to complain of any loss of olr provisions, which reach their destination sometimes with disappointing delay, but still which get there, are distributed un- der the direction of our own people and do inestimable good. - “The neck of the bottle is railway transport inside Russia. So far the railways have not been able to han- dle the volume of food, which the authorities guaranteed. The food is properly stored at ports, is not of perishable character and in the mean- time every effort is being made by the American railway experts that have now been_added to the American staff to get better movement. No doubt transport will improve. An- other month is required to fairly test out the capacity of the railways under the reorganized effort. The same condition as to- transport of native supplies from Siberia and in the Ukraine exists as does in the case of relief imports, and both problems must be solved at the same time.” WOMEN’S CLUBS MEET "IN FREDERICK COUNTY Thirteen Organizations Hold Joint Session and Hear Addresses on Various Problems. Special Dispatch to The Star.

FIRE INSURANCE AGENTS DENY LOBBY CHARGES Evidence Supporting arfll Disputing m;;{ssiyyi Governor’s Allegations Heard by Legislative Committee. By the Assoclated Press. JACKSON, Miss., March 10.—Testi- mony by eight fire insurance agents in denial of charges that a ‘“per- nicious” lobby was being maintained in Mississippl, and the_evidence of one state official, Stokes V. Robertson, revenue agent, in support of the charges, were before the house com- mittee of investigation when the in- quiry was resumed today into allega- tions made by Gov. Lee M.. Russell against fire insurance interests which recently withdrew from the state after the filing of anti-trust proceed- ngs. Other developments of the opening day of the investigation yesterday were the receipt of a lengthy state- ment from the governor reiterating his charges made Irf a special message to the legislature last month, and a communication from the executive of- fice announcing that it was not the intention of Gov. Russell to appear in person before the committee. ‘The governor, in concluding his letter to the committee, advised the members that if they wished to consult with him he would receive thgem in his office “at such-time as will be con- venient.”” A No intimation' thus far has been given as to the number of witnesses to be heard by the committee. Nearly a score were on hand at the hour set |- for the resumption of the inquiry this morning. In addition to thé allegation of lob- bylng Gov. Russell charged that the suit filed by Miss Frances Birkhead against the governor and now pend- ing in federa] court was fostered by fire insurapce interests. He also al- leged other improper tactics in ef- forts to force legislation favorable to the insurance companies. GIRL DIES FROM BURNS, Neighbors Break Down Door in Rescue Attempt at Brunswick.

CHICAGO, March 10.—Styles in tombstones change as well as gayer fashions, and even the short history of America has witnessed profound changes in what dealers in monuments like to call memo- rial art. The slate slabs, sur- mounted by round cherub faces or grimly grinning skulls, crudely carved, which _still mark the graves of the Pilgrim elders in Granary burying ground at Bos- ton, the cemetery at Plymouth, and in other old New England grave- yards, are in austere contrast to the lofty obelisks and huge sar- cophagi of the last century which are seen in more pretentious ceme- teries. Tombstones of today ares of neither type, according toH. C. Witaker of ‘the Monumental News, Madison, Wis. Tombstones erected between 1800 and 1875, Mr. Witaker says, were imposing in_'size, but whatever dignity they had was often marred by the ridiculous verses inscribed on them. Such verses are no long- er in vogue, remarks Mr. Witaker, who adds that the taste developed in recent years discards pre- tentious stones in favor of small tombstones of exact proportions and plain lettering. —_— BUILDING INDUSTRY - STRIKES REDUCED Millions of Dollars Declared Saved Through Jurisdic- tional Awards. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, March 10.—Strikes in the national building industry havé been reduced and millions of dollars saved through the national board of jurls- dictional awards, it was stated tod: in a report presented before the exe utive board of the American Engi- neering Council. of the Federated American Engineering Socleties here today. S The report, prepared by Rudolph P. Miller of New York, said that through the board contractors and workers were being brought closer together and that the past year had witnessed “accomplishments of great significance to the nation in the adjustment of re- lations between capital and labor.” Court Recognizes Decisions. Decisions of the jurisdictional board, the report stated, are recelving recog- nition at the hands of the federal coyrts, notably by former Judge K. M. Landis, in Chicago labor disputes. The report expressed grave concern over the attitude of the 'Building Trades Employers' Association of New York city, which, it said, “is responsi- ‘| ble for the decisions of the board not being universally obeyed.” One discordant element in the na- tional building trades situation, ac- cording_to the report, is the hos- tility of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, which has refused to submit its own disputes to the jurisdictional board, except when forced to do s Dear Cooley Preaides.
