POLICE WITHOUT CLUE' AS TO MISSING BAILIFF James P. Jefferies, Court Official, Now Gone Three Weeks, Failed to Leave Any Trace. James P. Jefferies, balliff 'in the Police Court, left his home, on M street, three weeks ago and not a clue has been found as to what has be- come of him. Prominent in the District court circles and without a habit that could be classified as detrimental to his character, police have been at sea to bring to light a reason for the man's disappearance. - The last time he was seen, Jefferies was in good health, had no financial worries, -and was in no difficulty. When he left his board- ing house in M street he had no bag- gage with him. A conductor of a street car in Charlottesville, Va, wrote the Dis- trict police that he belleved he had seen Jefferles, and the “tip” was in- ostigated fruitlessly. He was the son of the late James P. Jefferles, commonwealth attorney of Virginia. A reward of $500 has been posted by reldtives of Jefferies for informa- tion as to his whereabouts.

Senate and House agriculture com- mittees heard further testimony ye terday from representatives of farm Eroups concerning the President's Agricultural Conference's report, and planned to conclude the hearings next week. C. F. Holman, representing the Na- tional Board of Farm Organlizations, told the Senate committee that he did not like the methods suggested In the report, declaring that the-sug- gested Federal co-operative market- ing board, which forms the basis of the Capper-Haugen bill, would have a tendency to control co-operatives rather than aid them. . A. Sykes of Jowa, vice president of the National Live Stock Producers’ Assoclation, concluded his testimony before the House gommittee by urg- ing that the co-operative measure and the revised McNary-Haugen farmers' export corporation bill be reported out together, but not welded into one. He protested what he call- ed “Industrializing this country.” Asks Quicker Relfef. There is as much need now for the McNary-Haugen bill as there was a year ago, when it went down to de- feat in the House, the witness said, adding that the co-operative bill did not go far enough in affording imme- diate relief to an agricultural cmer- gency “which exists today.” - John G. Brown, former president of the National Live Stock Producers’ Association, representing the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, expressed amazement that the President’s con- ference, comprising men from many sections of the country with different problems, could arrive at an accord. Sees No Improvement. He scored farm leaders, and par- ticularly agricultural lawyers, as projecting their personal views into a farm program, and said that the roposed co-operative bill would harmonize” the farmers, as needed, but pointed out that “co-operative marketing is not golng to solve the problems” as far as the exportable agricultural surplus is concerned. He declared that agriculture today is in no better condition than a year ago, and in some instances is worse The House committee decided to conclude its hearings, if possible, to- morrow, with the time divided be- tween George N. Peek, president of the American Council of Agriculture, and representatives of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, ACTOR IS CLEARED. Released After Shooting Partner by Accident. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February Garvis, an actor in “Hell's Bells, charged with possessing a weapon without a permit, after he had ac- cidently shot and wounded another actor, Clifton Self, on the stage last Wednesday night, was freed today by Magistrate Oberwager.
