PARADERS QUIZZED (CHICAGO HOLD-UPS | AS TO CITIZENSHIP Immigration Officials Check Up on Protesters at Ma- rines in Nicaragua. Immigration officials last night began a thorough check-up of the papers of participants in yesterday's protest pa- rade around the State War and Navy Building. Fifteen of the men and youths at the first precinct who could not produce the $100 realty bonds de- manded by police were still at the first precinct when the Baltimore immigra- tion agents arrived and they were given | a long grilling. The ents planned to stay over here today and complete the ques tioning of the nine girls and young women held at the Detention House for participating in the protest parade. The three officials arrived at the police station about 9 o'clock last night and were closeted until a late hour with the paraders. The delegntion earlier announced they were members of the International Labor Defense. They carried banners demanding the withdrawal of the Marines from Nica- | ragua and the release from Fort Leavenworth prison of John Porter, vice president of the New Bedford, Mass,, Textlle Umwnan, who is serving & sentence for desertion from the Army. Three Children Released. ‘Three children whn were in the parade line when it was halted, placed | under arrest and marched to police headquarters, were released in ocustody of their parents early last night. Three of the principals in the turnout were able to make bond. In a similar demonstration. last April the participants had been relessed on 925 collateral, and later fined 85 each, the maximum. Since that time, how- ever, the penalty for an unauthorized parade of the sort has been advanced to $100, so immediately upon learning of the arrests yesterday Supt. of Po- lice Hosse and Miss M. Pearl McCall Assistant United States Attorney, held 2 conference, and the upshot was thé orgfl; for the $100 reaity bond. e thi ers—Philip Shinberg, 14 years old, of 1303 Seventh street; Abraham Brooks, 14, of 944 Florida avenue, and_ Flors Plothick, 12, of 407 Rhode Island avenue, were turned over to their par- who promised to have them in court when wanted. The three who obtained bond were Carl Reeve, 28, of New York Oity, an editor; Paul Crouch, New York, & clerk, and Karl Jones, also of New York. Marched Awund Buflding.

Toward the end of the contest the sun lowered itself behind the hills and the air became chilly al- most instantly. | Mr. Hoover wore & heayy overcoat and sat quietly watching the game until the last quarter was ended with the score 31-0 in favor of Stanford. He ‘laughed and chatted with Mrs, Hoovet and other members of the party at various incidents of the ‘contest, but at no time did he become demonstrative. Mrs. Hoover, however, got quite excited as the Stanford boys ran rings around their rivals, and she joined with the throng in clapping in time with the music of the Stanford band. His entrance along with Mrs. Hoover and Allan and a grdup of newspaper men, was not noticed at first, but when the crowd found out he was. there the cheer leaders of both sides went into and evoked “sky rockets" and other cheers for “Hoover.” This was Mr. Hoover's first visit to the. stadium since he delivered his ace cefunce speech before a throng that filled the great bowl.

The announcements were made by Dr. Friedrich Bergius of Heidelberg, the German chemist who produced gaso- line from coal. Wood, said Berglus, contains vege- table substances knowns as carbohy- drates, a class of chemicals which in-| cludes some of the most useful of the! nutritious elements in mankind's diet. There are two kinds of carbohydrates, | one edible and the other not, al- though the differences between them are extremely slight. In wood, Berglus found the non-edible kind, and went to work to recover and convert it Into the food type. Berglus said it long had been known that when a wood pulp molecule was changed very slightly it became & sugar or starch, and that one molecule of water added to a molecule of wood pulp made an edible carbohydrate. The changes could be made in labora- tories, but not on & commercial !uls-’ on account of expense. 1In his experi- ments he found that addition of hydro- chlorle acid to wood solutions made soluble carbohydrates which could be converted into glucose. He was able toi obtain from wood 60 per cent of dpurn’ carbohydrates, which he described as/ being as suitable as any light, starchy {fodder for animals. Difficulties Encountered. Enumerating the difficulties before this transformation could be put on the market to compete with natural foods, he said the first barrier was the fact that hydrochloric acid corrodes metals to such an extent that con- struction of the needed machinery was almost impossible for years. Another problem was to purify the food by recovering from it the hydro- chloric acid. This process of recovery | alone, he sald, required years of ex- rimenting. m"}?;w," h‘e sald, “the technical diffi- cultles have been overcome. We are able to work commerclally and to pro- duce cattle fodder which in some cases is lower in price that that of imported fodders. Cites Use in United States. “Some such process should become useful in the United States, to dispose ver's visit would undoubt- ' sald, “to_keép evetvbody- Wut until we iof the waste cornstalks, which on ac- count of the ravages of the corn borer 1zation. are a menace. Time, perseverance and capital will find a way."” Berglus predicted that the research would continue and that its outcome might aid in the conservation of forests throughout the world. He first observed the close connec~ tlon between wood and food properties while making artificial coal out of wood, doing quickly in a laboratory what nature does in millions of years. He told how success in this artificial coal making led him to devise the proc- ess of low temperature distillation of coal, which is this year putting gaso- line made from coal on LEe market in some quantity in Germany gasoline stations. To produce gasoline from coal he combined hydrogen, under pressure and heat, with the molecules of coal. Years were required on one n!er alone in pro- ducing apparatus for this, namely, the difficulties of making it leakproof n}nlmt the high pressure maintained within the retorts. He sald this proc- ess now has a commercial success in Germany in a “very large style,” and that the addition of hydrogen produced compounds very similar to those exist- {ing in natural petroleum. Educator Gives Views, Dr. Thomas 8. Baker, president of Carnegle Institute of Technology, who prosided at the luncheon, said the United States, possessing half of the Itnown coal deposits of the world, owed its position largely to its power re- sources, and that as long as it retained | fail supremacy in power it “can hardl ideals to impose many of its ideas and upon the rest of the world." American coal producers, Dr. Baker added, were calling on scientific men to show them how to make the coal in- dustry more pros ter uses for coal which will benefit themselves and the public, and at the same time conserve the country’s re- serve power supply. A. C. Fieldner, chief engineer, experi- ment stations divisions, United States Bureau of Mines, describing the great use of coal in this country, sald that if all the oil now obtained from Amer- ican wells were made from coal by the Bergius process, our present bituminous coal production would be increased about 60 per cent. British coal research advances were described by Dr. Cecil H. Lander, di-} rector of fuel research, Department of Scientific_ and Industrial Research, London, England. Sergt. Bender Retires.

By the Asooiated Press. 8T. LOUIS, Mo, November 10.—M. D. Lightfoot, chairman of the national constitutional Democratic committee, tonight declared a convention for the reorganization of the Democratic party would be called in the near future. The committee supported Hoover and Curtis and all Democratic candidates except Gov. Alfred E. Smith and his running mate, Senator Joe T. Robinson. “Party in Good Shape.” “After consulting leaders in all sec tlons of the United States,” Lightfoot sald, “I pledge that a reorganization call shall be issued at which time duly delegated representatives of Democracy from each State in the Union will be glven an opportunity to meet and plan for a broad, liberal, progressive policy that again will carry our party to greatness and future victory.” “Defeat cannot crush frlnclple." Lightfoot said. “The foundation of the Democratic party is in better sha) today than before election, but the temporary guiding force has suffered a crushing rebuke.” “8ix weeks before the election,” he said, “it was quite generally talked in the East that Mr. Raskob and those symg-thmns with him were planning, in the event of Gov. Smilh's defeat, to use the machinery of the national Democratic party to add prestige and dignity to the movement of the organ- ization for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. “Mr. Raskob's recent interview in which he says he will retain the chair- manship of the national Democratic committee for four years and urged continued campaign by the committes confirms the above-mentioned plans. SBuch an attitude is intolerable, and every true Democrat will arise in re- newed wrath and revolt against such an attempt.” Success Is Predicted. “The national constitutional Demo- cratic committee,” he said, “has active | nrrnnlzmonn going in 20 States. A com- tlation of the results show that we de- lvered to Mr. Hoover approximately 2,000,000 Democratic votes and indi- rectly were responsible for 500,000 more Democratic votes in, the balance of the States. “In addition, there were 7,000,000 Democrats who voted for Al Smith last Tuesday, doing 8o largely -through forces of party, regularity and who to- day are rejoicing at his smashing de- feat. This gives us a pretty good bal- ance power. “We constitutional Democrats have a right to be happy. We have rid our P:rty of Tammany, wet, nullification deas that potentially have been so dangerous. I honestly belleve the con- stitutional Democrats have saved the ideal of Democracy. The importance of men is temporary. The prinoiples of Democracy are eternal, and there will be successful successors for the host of great leaders, who in the past have made the Democratic party gres “The fundamental {:rlnclpl of our party are far bigger than any section or ism. Just in the measure that we are guided by this fact shall we, as a party, again become great in the Nation and merit the trust of our people.” RSB MUSSOLINI BANS FILM.

Faced with a batch of unfinished business for the approaching short ses- ision of the old Congress, leaders are beginning to take stock of the out- look, with a difference of opinion over whether a special session for farm relief will be necessary. The Boulder Canyon Dam bill has | Arst call in the Senate. This measure luf Senator Johnson of Californis ran |into & stubborn filibuster from Arizona Senators Iast session and despite indi- | cations that it il be permitted to {come to a vote at this time, there is no doubt that it will require several weeks of debate. Appropriation Bllls Due. The administration will center atten- tion on passage of the appropriation bills, Boulder Dam and sappropriation measures alone will occupy probably the first two months of the session. More- over, the administration is ready to put pressure on the naval construction program, already approved by the House, and seek ratification by the Senate of the recently negotiated Kellogg-Briand treaty for the re- | nounciation of war. While Chairman McNary of the Sen- ate agriculture committee is ready to {seek passage of & new fmim relief bill acceptable to the adminlutration, and belleves it can be put into law at this session, other leaders admif, the load of unfinished business offers a possible | obstacle. | Herbert Hoover has declared a will- |ingness to call & special session of the ! new Congress after next March 4 to | take up farm relief, if necessary, and with this assurance there are signs that some- of the farm leaders sre willing to bide their time and take the question up in the special session with more leisure. Congressional leaders feel that | the McNary-Haugen bill, with its fa- | mous equalization fee provision, which was twice vetoed by Presid:nt Coolidge, is now dead. Some are ho’peml that a new meas- ure, along the lines of a farm board, as outiined by Hoover and Senator Curtis, | his running mate, in ‘the campaign, | might be adopted without cifficulty, No Program Mapped Out. But leaders have mapped out no pro- gram. Senator Curtis, the Republican pllot, conferred today with President Coolidge, but this conversation, like most of the discussions at this time, revolved largely around the recent elec- tlon and its | tion facin, is the | seloction of a leader to succeed Senator |g:xrufln‘:/hlo ‘Ig‘ expected to retire about | the first of year preparatory to ase suming his office of \ylco President. Senator Curtls, however, has not de- | cided when he will retire, Likewise, the Republicans really be- gun to disentangle the snarl expected in the selection of a successor to Curtis, Several Senators are fiow in the race, including Watson of Indiana, Jones of Washington and Fess of Ohlo, from the West, and Reed of Pennsylvania and t.(oau of New Hampshire from the ast. It is entirely possible that sectionalism may play a part in the determination. with both Hoover and Curtis coming Muscle Shoals, which occupled much time last session to result in the refusal of President Coolidge to approve the bill sent to him by the two 3 may also receive condideration at the short session, but Senator Norris, Re- publican, Nebraska, prime mover of the roposed legislation, now indicates that e will look to the courts rather than to Congress. He takes the view that the recent elections will f opposition and that it woul possible to get enough votes to pass such a measure over the President's veto. For that reason he is hopeful that the courts will hold that the bill which the President refused to sign on the last day of last session became law without his signature and did not die from a pocket veto.
