Chairman Hull of the democratic national committee, in a statement commenting on President Harding's direction for an investigation by the tarlff commission of the possible rela- tion of the the in- crease in price “Now that Pres telegram to the ch commission. has riff on sugar to L SHvs ent Harding, in a an of the tariff nified lis willir Guty on sugar a0 «lied upon him to do under the flexible clause - tariff act, if the commission s that there is any ground for b leving the duty to be even partia b onsible in makin the prices which prevail, Iy abnormal becomes the duty of the tariff commission to re- port immediately to him that the duty is partially responsible.

Although the Preident finds it hard to believe that the tariff is re- sponsible, even in part. for the high price of sugar, the tariff commission should nevertheless do its plain duty in the matter, in o r that the Presi- dent may ¢ y on his promise and thus give the public some measure of relief. When the government gets in di tress as a result of this tariff infla- tion on sugar as well as other com- modities it should do to relieve the situation. not sub- missively continue to » its share of the loot Lays Price to Tarlff. something and Comments on the sugar situation came yesterday from Senator Sim- mons, democrat, North Carolin, w ho led the fight in the Senate against the administration tariff bill; Bagl M. Manly, director of the People's Legis- jative Service, who a week ago urged the President to order a Department gation of alleged and the Farmers’ ce manipulati tional Council Senator Simmons said, in a state- ment, that present high prices were due to the preferential duty on Cuban sugar. He declared that President Harding’s Instruction to the tariff commisston suggests that “he must have considered the tariff as at least a possible cause of the present high prices. said he had told the telegram that his or- ders to the tariff commission were to be commended “provided the Depart- ment of Justice takes prompt action to stop speculation and punish the conspiracy of profiteers who rigged the sugar market.” Farmers' Council Stand. The Farmers’ National Council's statement follows: “Government control of the sugar erop from producer to consumer, as | would be possible under the Norris- Sinclatr marketing bill, ating a government corporation. ential to protect producer and consumer, asserts the Farmers' National Coun- cil in a statement made public this afternoon. The statement continue; “Gambling in all food products Is prevalent. It is part of our present chaotic, wasteful system of dlstribu- tion of farm products. It can't be stopped by occasional prosecutions of gambling to the point of profiteering. What food profiteers, however, fla- ant, are in jall today, and in what ood _product is profitcering not ram- pant? “The Attorney General will proba- bly almost certainly not send sugar gambler to jail, but manipula- tlon of prices is constantly recurrent The Queensland government prices to sugar producers, and deter- mines the profits of wholesalers and retailers of sugar, and fixes the price the consumer has to, pay for sugar. ‘The act creating this sugar control in Queensland was backed by the labor organizations as well as the farm or- ganizations of that state. control of sugr should be established in the United States.” DEFEND TARIFF LAW. The republican national committee, fn a public statement, charges as “‘clot- ted nonsense” the assertion that the 1increase in price of sugar is due to the new tariff law. The increase, the state- ment asserts, is due solely to gambling dn sugar, which is held to be reprehen- sible. The statement says, in part: he present speculation is mo _more attributable to the Ford- ney-McCumber tariff than was the re- cent speculation in Plggly Wiggly atock. The present tariff on sugar is from % to 114 cents greater than the Underwood tariff. To assert that an increase in tariff of a cent a pound causes an advance of 6 to 8 cents a pound in the price of sugar is to give utterance to clotted nonsense. Sugar Up Abroad. “If the unwarranted advange in sugar were due to the protective tar- iff, how can those who make that clalm explain the fact that in Canada, which has no Fordney-McCumber tar- iff, sugar is today wholesaling at 10 0’11 cents a pound? Or that in the Clyde sugar market at Liverpool granulated cane sugar is quoted at 12 cents a pound, and in the London market it is quoted at 12.59 cents a pound? “Sugar is being speculated in today just as other foodstuffs, such as wheat, are speculated in, without any Jjustification from the standpoint of economic conditions. Sugar was speculated in under the Underwood tariff quite as much as. under the present tariff. Sugar, In common with all other food commodities which are listed on boards of trade and in ex- chénges, is the constant victim of speculation, irrespective of tariff laws ny other legislation. | Would End Gambling. . #As the reports of the Department ot/ Commerce clearly show, there is no justification whatever in the pres- ent price of sugar. It is a price whol- 1y attributable to gambling in that commodity. It is a reprehensible prac- tice. There should be a stop put to gambling in food products. The re- publican Congress just adjourned en- acted a law for the purpose of stop- ping gambling in grain, There is no reason why this law should not be ex- tended to operate agaimst gambiing in any foodstuffs to the injury of the consumers and producers.” e SUES FOR TRESPASS. Suit_to recover $2,000 damages for alleged trespass on real estate was filed today in the District Supreme Court by Meyer B. Newman against Gluseppe Cristaldi. Newman says that June 1 last the defendant broke down a fence on Newman's property and dumped gdr- bage, trash and ashes upon the land. He'1s represented by Attorney W. W.

Guy H. Oyster, formerly secretary {of President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, made public the names of the organizers in an address before the Ceniral La- {bor Union of Harrisburg, Pa., last night, when he also outlinéd the pur- poses’ of organizing the corporation. | st of Organmizers. | The organizers, Mr. Oyster sald, are Matthew Woll. vice president of | the American Federation of Labor; | Daniel J.

Ral- ston, attorney, and Mr. Ovster. Head- quarters, he sald, will be in Wash- ington Would Eliminate Vibration. In an interview today, Mr. Ralston, the attorney for the corporation, an- nounced that each of the labor iead- ors interested in the corporation is in- terested simply as an individual and inot as the representative of his organi- zation. & The plan, Mr. Ralston stated, is ito float the patent and place it in a posi- tion where railroads throughout the country will use it. First reports of the organization of this company as an investment concern destined to centralize the financial power of the bulk of organized labor were dis- credited by Mr. Ralston. He sald that the exclusive interest of the company is the production of a new patent for trucks on railroad coaches that will absorb vibration to a much greater degree than at present and virtually will eliminate bumpy rid- ing _on railroad trains. The name of the corporation, which was incorporated only recently, is H. W. Morgan & Co., Inc. The corporation already is in a position to obtain control of the patent and to place it on a working basis, Mr. Ralston declared, adding that “The proposition -is not mature as yet for detailed announcement of plans.” Planning Production. “We are giving exclusive attention to flotation of this patent and plan- ning the production of the equip- ment,” Mr. Ralston said, “and we have nothing to do with credits or finances, We are not at the present time try- ing to mobolize the credit finances of the labor world.

Serrin, sald to be employed by:the Standard Oll Company. The suit was flled by the father of the wife as her next friend. Mrs. Serrin charges that. her hus. band had treated her in a cruel man- ner prior to their separation in 1921, and after that devoted his attention to other women.

Melton's Feature Fol- lowed by Address of Bishop Harding on Lenten Tragedies. At the final meeting of the midday Lenten services today at Keith's Theater, Dr. L. W. Glazebrook presid- | ing, the Rev. B. H. Melton read from the Scriptures. Ambrose Dirkin sang “Calvary,” and the Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, Bishop of Washington, de- livered the address. Bishop Harding dwelt upon the tragedies which surrounded the cru- cifixion, especially the great tragedy of Deter, whose strength was not cqual to the demands made upon it, and who denled Christ only to repent in bitterness of spirit and expiate his wrongs by unflinching devotion to the church of which he later became the head. “With these tragedies in mind," sald Bishop Harding, “all of them coming from a lack of loyalty, it is fit that at this time we ask our- selves, we who profess Christianity, if we are always loyal. Is the re- liglon we profess, the songs of pralse we sing, and the prayers we utter. a part of our daily lives, or do we not also sometimes fail in loyalty to our Master?” While this was the concluding serv- ice of the midday Lenten meetings, it was announced that the cantata “Atonement” will be sung at Keith's from 12 to 1 o'clock Saturday as a musical close to the seasom of de- votion.

Mr. Otterbach collected the $88 from members pres- Lent, announcing that the forthcoming exhibition was to be a true test of optimism. He then produced a lemon, which was exhibited to all members to be tested as .to soundness and natural condition. Then he drew a knife over the lemon and the $88 which had been collected was found within. “That's, what you business ‘men should do,” said he, “when you get a lemon in & cammerelal transaction.” Lee L. Herrell, ringmaster of the organization, put on a series of en- tertaining -novelties in _addition to the lemon and money exhibition by Mr. Otterbach. Dr. W. A.

The two officers so honored, orrespondent. both receiving thelr decorations at the hands of Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, commandant of the Marine Corps, were Maj. R. S. Keyser, 32d Batal- lion, 5th Regiméent, U. S. M. C. of Front Royal, Va., and Capt. Roswell Winans, Marine Schools, of Brook- ville, Ind. Keyner Gets D. S. C. Maj. Keyser was presented with a distinguished service cross for ex- ptional intelligence displaved while erving as intelligence officer with the second division during the late w The officer commanded a bat- talion at Belleau Wood. Capt. Winans was given the silver star following citation by the French army. Both men were heartily con- gratulated following the ceremony which cpened the day's program of activities. Capt. Winans already is the holder of the congressional medal of honor awarded him for heroic service in Haliti, before the world war, while he was a line sergeant in ; the Marine Corps. He was promoted to a commissiened rank at the out- break of the war. Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, com- manding general at Quanti ted Gen. Lejeune at the c nie Despite the extremely cold weather, a large gathering formed early to watch the maneuvers of the “leather- necks” of the two regiments, who put a decided snap in their close- order drills, competing in battalions and companies for trophies, which will be presented to the victors later in the Many Brave Weather. As the day wore on and the schedule diversified between the different drills and target practice, long lines of automobiles continued to arrive at the grounds from Washington and nearby communities, and much in- terest was evidenced by the onlook- ers in the demonstrations which are to show what can be accomplished from the intensive courses of winter training that have now been estab- lished in the Marine Corps. Gen. Lejeune was busy greeting Army and marine officials who had braved the weather to witness the maneuvers. The demonstration began_with a drill on the parade ground. This was followed by an exhibition of the troops assigned to special arms which make up the marine expeditionary force at Quantico. Exhibitlons were glven in the use of the automatic rifle, the machine gun, both rifie and kand grenade, the 37-mm. gun, the Stokes mortar; and at bayonet work and scouting. The first demonstration this after- Jnoon will consist of a battalion at- jtack over a terrain exposed to the fire of an enemy theoretically well armed and supplied with artillery. Follow- ing this there will be a second pro lem which will show a battalion ate tack over a terrain which will enable them to get into position before be- ing exposed to the enemy fire. A third problem will show the disposi- tion of troops ‘for a night attack. Following the separate demonstra- tions the whole attack will be re- hearsed with all weapons firing at once and the infantry delivering its attack behind a barrage and with full supporting fire. After the day's program there will be mass singing and an athletic and theatfical entertainment program. in the post gymnasium. —_——— WILL ADDRESS REALTORS. Harmon C.

Hunter. Denying that he was in Maryland yes- terday or had anything to do with the shooting in Laurel, Taylor was held at the first precinet station, pending the arrival this afternoon of a extradition. Following the spectacular battle the Maryland authorities requested the Washington police to arrest “Muriel” Taylor, William Cady and Joseph Nally.
