FORTFODTES AL 5 PLANNED AGAN No move to Make Park of Tract, So Private Bids Will Be Asked. Acting on the theory that the Fort Foote military reservation is not to be incorporated in the Federal park sys- tem of the District of Columbia, the War Department for the second time will offer that reservation for sale to the highest bidder. This old aban- doned fort is located on the left bank of the Potomac River in Prince Georges County, Md., diagonally op- site the city of Alexandria, and is about 8 miles below this city. It cov- ers an area of a little more than 66 acres and was formally ceded to the United States for military purposes by an act of the Legislature of Maryland approved April, 1872. It stands on a { high bluff commanding a fine view of | the river and the Virginia shore, and was formerly known as ‘Rozler’s Bluft.” Since the removal of the batterles originally installed there and its aban- donment as a fortification many years ago as unnecessary to the defense of | the National Capital, the reservation has been looked after by a caretaker and frequently used by the residents of the vicinity as a picnic and pleasure ground. Waived Park Rights. Congress authorized its sale March, 1923, with the proviso that the State of Maryland or the County of Prince Georges should have the option of purchase at the appraised value for park purposes only. The State and the county authorities both waived the option and the property was put up for public sale by the War Depart- ment in the following Spring. At that time the property was appraised at | a general protest at that time against the proposed sale of the reservation to private interests, on the part of various local bodies and residents of this city, who argued that because of its great natural beauty and accessibility, Fort Foote should be incorporated into the park- ing system of the District, along with Forts Washington and Hunt, further down the river. The Secretary of ‘War was so strongly impressed with the strength of their arguments that he called off the salg of the Fort Foote reservation, so that Congress should have opportunity to recon- sider the decision. Sale Called Off. Many bids had been received in response to public advertisement ‘and were before the quartermaster gen- eral for opening, when he received a telephone message from War De- partment directing him to return all he bids unopened and announce that ‘the sale was off for the present.” Officlals of the War Department are not inclined to discuss the matter in its present phase, beyond the gen- them that the congressional body has shown no disposition whatever to re- consider its action of more than three years ago and that the War Depart- ment is required to carry out the law as it stands. New bids will be called for next week and opened early in July. | WILL BE TOMORROW | Veteran Newspaper Man Dressed Wound of Officer Hurt When Lincoln Was Shot. Tuneral services for John B. Mc- Carthy, veteran newspaper corre- ! spondent and for many years corre- sponding secretary of the Association { of Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia, who died Friday at Gar- field Memorial Hospital, will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Hines Funeral Home, Fourteenth and Harvard streets northwest, the Re Charles S. Cole officlating. Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery. Honorary pallbearers have been welected as follows: Theodore W. Henry L. Bryan, Matthew , sr., and John Clagett Proctor, representing the Association of Oldest Inhabitants: Allen C. Clark, repre- senting the Columbia Historical Soclety; Percy Israel, representing the Society of Natives; Frank C. Daniels, principal of McKinley Manual Training School where McCarthy had taken an actlve part in parent-teacher activities for many years; John Boyle, Washington repre- sentative of the Wall Street Journal and a fellow member of the press gal- lery at the Capitol many years ago, and Frank L. Hewitt of Silver Spring, Md. Active pallbearers will be Elmer Hardell, Charles Dodson, Edward Stevens, Frederick Linton, Francis Moreland and Donald Adams. A native and a life-long resident of the District of Columbia, Mr. Mec- Carthy, who was 78 years old, pos- sessed a great fund of knowledge con- cerning historical events that took place in this city during the past 60 or 70 years. Through a combination of circumstances he was brought into close contact with the assassination of President Lincoln and many years later as a newspaper correspondent he was selected to “cover” the assas- sination of President Garflield for a number of newspapers throughout the country At the time President Lincoln was killed Mr. McCarthy was a pharma- cist, and on that particular night he was on duty at a drug store at the corner of Fifteenth and G streets. Maj. Rathbone, the Army officer who sat in the box with Mr. Lincoln, and who was slashed on the arm by Booth's knife, went to that drug store to have his injury dressed and Mr. McCarthy applied the bandages. Mr. McCarthy was regularly em- ployed at that time in a drug store on Ninth street on the opposite side of the block from Ford's Theater. A day before the assasination young Dave Herold, one of the Lincoln con- spirators, who lived in the neighbor- hood and was well known to Mr. McCarthy, came into the drug store and asked for some medicine. He stated his nerves were upset and asked for some kind of a sedative. Mr, McCarthy attended to his wants, not knowing that within a few hours Herold was to figure in the sensa- tional conspiracy to assasinate the President and several members of his McCarthy witnessed the execution of the Lincoln conspirators and also of Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield. ——— et o RIVER-HARBOR VOTE NEAR General discussion of the $36,000,000 omnibus rivers and harbors bill ended in the House yesterday after another dispute over the question of water di- version from the Great Lakes.

Geistweit Will Preach The General Conventton of the Northern Baptist Church, having de- cided many vital -questions of policy and administration, approved a finan- clal budget covering the next years work and determined upon a Nation- wide evangelical program to last six months, will adjourn tonight to meet next in Chicago. The Washington convention will be brought to a close with three great mass meetings of an inspirational nature at the Wash- ington Auditorlum this morning, aft- ernoon and evening. o Other attractions this morning will be Bible class meetings conducted by two of the most famous class leaders in the United States. Miss Jessie L. Burrall, formerly of Washington, who has wen a_wide reputation through the Middle West for her work among students _at the University of Mis- souri and Wood’s Baptist College for Girls, will speak at 9:30 at the Rialto Theater, under auspices of the Bur- rall Class. At the same hour Rev. David J. Evans of Kansas City will address a men's Bible class at the Washington Auditorium. Dr. Evans is said to have the largest men's Bi- ble class in the world at his church in Kansas City. Rev. W. H. Geistweit to Preach. Rev. Willilam H. Gelstweit of Ohio will deliver the convestion sermon, “The Great Conquest,”’ at 11 o’clock and at 8 o'clock a young people’s ses- sion will be held. Addresses will be delivered at that time by Rev. Edwin H. Phelps, Miss Edna Umstot, the lifework secretary of the B. Y. P. U; Rev. Francis Stifler-of Illinois and Mrs. Elizabeth Finn. At the evening service William Travers Jerome, jr., representing the National Council of the Northern Bap- tist Laymen, will preside. A memo- rial address will be delivered by Rev. M. P. Boynton of Chicago. Probably the most far-reaching de- cision of the convention was the unan- imous vote to conduct the Nation-wide evangelical program, which is to be opened October 1 and last through March. To this program of winning new adherents to the church, all fac- tions of the convention have pledged their active support. Under the plan as outlined by Rev. Dr. J. C. Massee of Tremont Temple, Boston, who pra- posed the endeavor, evangelical com- mittees of laymen and clergy are to be formed in each city throughout the country. During the first week of the intensive ministry projected there are to be inspirational meetings for the workers before they extend their program among non-churchgoers. Designed to End Friction. This program is expected to serve also as a common endeayor that will draw into closer harmony the modern- ists and the fundamentalists, between whom there has been much strife within the past few years. Acting in accordance with the des- sion of the convention, Edward H. Rhoades, jr., president of the Wash- ington convention, appointed the fol- lowing committee to complete plans for the evangelical prograi e, A, Smith, G. R. Baker, Mrs. K. S. West- fall, H. E.

The* 4,000 delegates and the many alternates devoted yesterday after- noon to sightseeing, the first real op- portunity they have been afforded by the strenuous program _conducted | morning, afternoon and evening throughout the six days of the con- vention. A large delegation of the convention | journeyed to Arlington Cemetery yes- terday at 3 o’clock to pay a tribute to the war dead by a brief ceremony at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Last night a layman’'s banquet was held at the City Club, and the women of the convention dined at the Raleigh Hotel. Rev. F. W. Hughes of London, pas- tor of the Westbourne Church. who was principal speaker, urged freedom of religious thought, but declared harmony within church ranks to be essential to successful program of endeavor. H. Whitty, executive secretary of the Laymen's Council, also spoke. A feature of the convention sessions has been the congregational singing, conducted by Percy S. Foster of Washington. Daily noon-hour de- votionals wers lead by Rev. Frederick E. Taylor of Indiana.

With the arrival of delegations from eight temples of the Ancient Order of the Mystic Shrine yesterday, groups ranging from 250 to 20 from 24 other temples due today and tomorrow, the fez promises to be prominent in the various Memorial day events to be held in Washington. The Shriners are stopping over en route to the annual conclave, which convenes in Philadel- phia on Tuesday. Advices to Shrine headquarters last night revealed that more than 1,500 Shriners, representing 19 temples, will come to Washington on Friday, mak- ing the stop on their homeward jour- ney. Under the guidance of Charles D. Shackelford, potentate of Almas Tem- ple, the local Shrine organization is ccording unstinted hospitality to-the hriners. A tent has been erected on the Union Station Plaza, where re- freshments are being served, while scores of automobiles have been placed at their disposal for sightseeing. A special reservation has been made for the Shriners at Arlington tomorrow. Information booths are being operaged at the Union Station and the New Eb- bitt and Annapolis Hotels. Headquar- ters are at the Hotel Raleigh. Mrs. Charles D. Shackelford, wife of Almas Temple's potentate, is head- | ing a group of local Shrine women who are entertaining the wives and daughters in the Shrine parties.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 29.— Oliver T. Boyd, for six years general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania Rallroad, died at 10 a.m. today in the Bryn Mawr Hospital. Mr, Boyd had been confined to the hospital since March, when he was forced to give up his business duties following a general breakdown and an infection of tne blood, after man months of failing health. Mrs. Boyx and two daughters were at the bed- side when the end came. He was born in this city October 29, 1878, and was the son of the late George W. Boyd. Mr. Boyd entered the service of the Pennsylvania Rail- road as clerk in the advertising de- partment on December 1, 1897. His rise from then on. was steady until he was appointed to his present posi- tion in 1920. Mr, Boyd is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary G. Boyd, and two daugh ters, Maranda N. Boyd and Mary G. Boyd. The funeral will take place Tuesday. % Passenger Agent Here. Mr. Boyd was well known in Wash- ington, having been a city passenger agent for the Pennsylvania Rallroad for three years, about 12 years ago. He left this city to become general | passenger agent for the Willam | Gibbs "McAdoo Subway System in | New York City. From New York he | again aligned himself with the Penn- | sylvania Railroad at Pittsburgh, to be transferred later to Philadelphia. FARM RELIEF STAND COSTING COOLIDGE PRESTIGE IN WEST _(Continued from First Page) _ haps of the fate which overtook him in 1924, undertaken to attack directly the man in the White House. The colonel, has, however, attacked Cum- mins vigorously for his support of many administration measures, and his attack has thus been directed at the Coolidge administration. Will Have 1928 Bearing. What happens to Senator C@nmins {and to other Republican Senators and | Representatives in the West and Mid- |dle West in this campaign is almost | sure to have its effect on the Repub- {lican national convention in 1928, Every time a stalwart supporter of the Coolidge administration falls, pro- vided any do fall, it will be used as a point of attack against the adminis- tration. On the other hand. if the | supporters of the administration are successful at the primaries and in the election in November, so much stronger will the administration be considered. The passage of legislation for the benefit of the farmer, provided it really tackles the problem of putting his dollar on an_equality with that {of the industrial East, at the presen | session of Congress would change the | situation greatly. The passage of the | McNary-Haugen bill in the Senate before June 7 doubtless would aid Senator Cummins. ‘Without some such legislation, look out for squalls. It is true that the McNary-Haugen bill failed in the last Congress and President Coolidge and the Republicans were swept into power again by an overwhelming vote. But the country was then | emerging from a period of depression, jand the platform upon which Presi- {dent Coolidge ran pledged the party to_further ald for the farmers. This aid so far has not materialized. It scarcely is conceivable that the Mid- dle West will wag the entire Repub- lican national convention in 1928. But unless fts demands receive some at- tention it may tackle the job. Lowden May Get Votes. Unless something is done in regard to farm-relief legislation some of these Western States seem likely to send their delegations to the next national convention to vote for former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinofs. Lowden knows the West, and the West wants a man who knows it. This does not mean that President Coolidge could not be renominated or could not be re- elected, even in such an event. But it does mean that an opportunity would be given to a Western man to go into the convention with a sizable batch of votes tucked in his pocket, and all chances of a unanimous demand for {of weeks ago, and a State bank, D.--C, MAY 30, 1926—PART 1. in Towa are still in debt, and some of the banks in which they have their money continue to fail. The demand is for a new system, for some aid to the farmer comparable to the ald given the industries of the East through the protective tariff, to labor through the immigration laws, to the railroads through the Esch-Cummins t rtation act, to_the financial in- terest through the Federal Reserve system. Come out of the East and try to tell these farmers, and the business men, too that rything is all right with them, arfd all they have to do now fs to sit tight and attend to their knit- ting. It makes you about as popular| as & German in Parls in 1916. Tell | them that they have automobiles, r:l—; dio sets and other advantages of mod- ern life, and infer for a moment that | if they feel hard up they might go back to doing without these things. They shoot back that they are just as much entitled to automobiles, radios, etc., as any one who lives and works in the industrial sections of the coun- try. They work just as hard and a =:'s- tem should be devised which would glve them an adequate price for their produce. They do not intend, if they can help it, to have the American farmers reduced to a stage of peas- antry, the state of the tillers of the soll in so many other countries. If the Government had done noth- ing for industry probably there would not now be such an insistant demand that something be done by Congress for the farmer. Whatever may be the case in the future, agriculture is the great basic industry in this part of the country, and men engaged.in business and in the professions feel the effect of every ill agriculture suffers. They are back- ing the farmers. Dawes Report Halled. The report that Vice President Dawes and Senator Watson of In- diana have found that the principles involved in the Haugen bill are sound and not calculated to destroy the eco- nomic structure was received here ‘with a great amount of satisfaction. The situation in Jowa has improved over what it was a couple of years ago, true enough. But gnany of the farmers still are in debt and many of the banks are staggering under the load of frozen credits. A national bank, 40 years old, one of the strong- est in its section, failed only a couple equally old and equaly as well known, failed & few days ago. Little pub- licity is given to these failures. They are not d to immediate conditions, but to the cumulative effect of what has happened in the last four or five vears. Incidentally, every time there is a bank failure, more fuel is added to the fires of resentment. About 48 per cent of the farmers in Towa are tenant farmers. They are among the hardest hit, when the price of corn, for example, drops below the cost of production. Many of the farm- | ers who own and farm their own land are in better position today than the tenant farmers. “Blue Sky” Stocks Hurt. The hardships which the Iowa| farmers and banks have undergone have been due in part to the sale of “blue sky" stocks in 1918 and 1919, when hundreds of miilions of dollars were taken away from the farmers. lowa went over the top first in Lib- erty bond subscriptions and these bonds the farmers were prevailed upon to exchange for worthless stock. | Their troubles were accentuated by | land speculation on a huge scale also, | and prices were forced as high as $400 and $500 an acre. When the policy of deflation was adopted in 1920, these prices went down like a house of cards. One of the charges made by Col. Brookhart in his, campaign links up Charles H. MacNider, one of Iowa’s most prominent bankers, strong sup- | porter of Senator Cammins and ather of Assistant Secretary of War Hanford MacNider, with this defla- tion. Col. Brookhart maintains that Mr. MacNider was present at a meet- ing of Federal Reserve Board officials | in Washington May 18, 1920, when a policy of deflation was determined upon. That such a policy was adopted at this meeting with regard to the farmers is strongly denied by Mac- Nider and others. Bank Deposits Grow. Turning to the brighter side of the page, it appears that from December, 1925, to April, 1926, the deposits in the State savings banks of Iowa have increased by nearly $10,000,000. The sale of new automobils in Iowa is also taken as an indicator of improved con- | ditions. In April, 1925, the total sales | of new automobiles was 12,956 lndi 65.4 per cent of these sales were made in rural communities. In April, 1926, the total sales of new cars was 13,785 and 67.6 per cent were sold in rural communities. The price of hogs has been a factor in increasing prosperity. The hog has gone to $14 a hundred pounds. But there was a_bumper crop of corn in Towa in 1925, 478,000,000 bushels, as compared to 322,000,000 in 1924. -All of this corn, which has been fed to hogs, is bringing a good return. Un- fortunately, there has been some shortage of hogs to feed. The corn sold for cash brought the farmers mis- fortune. The $14 hog, however, is used by the Cummins’ forces to chase the renomination of President Cool- idge would be gone. The demand out here for farm legis- lation has passed the stage of an emergency appeal. Times are getting better, though many of the farmers off the calamity howler. One thing is to be borne in mind, regarding the senatorial primaries. If Senator Cum- mins wins, as he may, it will not be because he supported the administra- tion's agricultural policy.

By the Associated Press. Farm relief, dormant in the House since defeat of the Haugen price sta- bilization bill, became active again yes- terday in the House agriculture com- mittee when Representative Me- Laughlin, Republican, Nebrasku, re- quested early consideration of a modi fed form of the Haugen measure.
