The outstanding featurs was the uniform condition and appearence of every entry. Whereas most horse shows count on having to contend with a more or less mumber of entries unfit for show purposes, ' the Olympic contestants presented %% prefect appearances and demonstra- tions, from the class for children . down to the closing event. when the !

Referring to the half doz- | en subpoenas served in the south- west, mostly upon former Depart- ment of Justice agents, he said: “We expect to show that oil in- third, and Apple [terests of the United States—former Secretary Fail and the Doheny and been asked to select winners from |Sinclair interests—furthered the revo- a more difficult class.

The late Jake Hamon, millionaire republican national committeeman of Oklahoma. first a backer of Gen. and later prominent in the Harding camp, pre- sided over by Mr. Daugherty, is a pzmuenr. figure in this line of in- ry.

Since the Volstead act went into effect legations and embassies in Washington haye always taken advantage of every available op- portumity to allow their thirsty #uests to. pledge the health of foreign rulers from a bowl of panch. The only diffieulty has been to keep the flowing bowl flowing. Dr. Chvalkovsky's temerity in falling to spike the punch was considersd ws a good joke, and his punch bowl remalned full during the afternoon’s reception. was placed to function — to Hynicka of Cincinnati, republican national committeeman for Ohio and originally a Wood backer in 1920; €harles H.

Wood or other candldates. Supporiers of former Gov. Lowden of Illinois, an- other republican candidete of 1320, may be called in that connection. Senator Moses, republican, New Hampshire, one of the Daugnerty committee members and also prominent Iu the Wood campaign of 1920, yesterday that he had besn in a if any offer of “oil influence” had been made to the Wood managers. He said that an “inducement,” but not relating to ofl interests, had come to the Wood headquarters at Chicago in the heat of the fight just before Mr. Harding was nominated. The natufe of ihis “Indacement” was not divulged Whether the Daugherty committee or the oil committee would first dip into the ‘oil influence” story became | uncertain. . Both committees have call- ¢d Leonard Wood, jr, with the pros- pect that he would appear first be- fore the oll committee. But any con- flict or overlapping of work will be avolded, according to senators. Chair- man Brookhart said would co-operate, in_the political | line as well as ofher fields of testi- mony, to prevent any clash of juris- diction.

The committee was satd to be seek- || ing information whether the sub- poenas in Texas went through the office of United States Marshal D. A. Walker of San Antonio, and whether he is related by marriage to Attor- ney General Daugherty, as stated by some informants. Another report which reached the committes was that one of the Texad witnesses had been arrested, but later released after it was as- certained that he had been .sub- poenaed by the committee. TURKESTAN WOMEN ASSURED EQUALITY 01d System of Buying Wives to Be Discarded in East—Stealing Brides Made Crime. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, March &—Women in Turkestan, the Khirghiz republic and the Bashkir and Kalmuck regions of Russla, who for ‘ages have been treated with inequality, are soon to be protected by laws similar to those in effect where western civilization has spread. This has been decided upon by the soviet council of com- missars in confection with the cele- bration of the international work- ing women's day. "Fno widely pravalent custom where- by a bridegroom buys his wife with money Or cattle may be punished by a_year's imprisonment, and per- sons found forcing a woman to marry without her free consent may be sentenced to five years at hard labor.

The bill is a complicated affair, which even Mr. Anderson admits is plausible. It provides that the price of one or more of certain specified farm products, namely wheat, flour, corn, raw cotfon, wool, caitle, sheep and swine, or any of their food prod- be maintained by government agtion at a price level corresponding to_the price level of all commodities. Thus, the government would set up an establishment with a capital of $200.000,000, and would handle the export crop applying an excise tax of. say, one cent a bushel on the domestic production and applylng SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, MARCH 9; approximately four cents L m! from that aceumaulation losses on export Mns Helds Wheat Alowe Aflected. ‘While various farm products are’ tncluded within the ‘jurisdiction of measure, Mr. Anderson thinks the BB has no real application asdant &> Ho baileves a ratio’ of prices cannot ba' maintained because it is neweasary that if farm prices lo up, other nm:u go down.
