4 s GRANGE DELEGATES VISIT WHITE HOUSE Coolidge to Address Monster, Meeting Tonight—Upward of 5,000 Here. Several thousand members of the Na- tional Grange called at the White House at 12:45 p.m. today and paid; their respects to President Coolidge, who was photographed with them on_the south lawn. The President will address a monster meeting of the grange at| 8:30 o'clock tonight in' the Auditorium. Just prior to the President’s address a large class of men and women, in- cluding Senator McNary of Oregon, co- author of the vetoed McNary-Haugen bill, will be received into the seventh or highest degree of the grange at a| secret ritualistic session. Others who | will be given this degree at the same | time are Mrs. Gifford Pinchot. wie of | ex-Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania. him- | soIf a seventh degree Granger, and G. W. Koiner, Virginla commisisoner of agriculture, and many members of the | House, Sixth Degree Conferred. | A large number of the order received | the sixth degree this afternoon at the Willard Hotel, under the auspices of | the Maryland State Grange. A. G.| Encor, master for Maryland, presided at_this ceremony. Upwar of 5000 delegates to the annual session of the Grange are in Washington today. No business ses- sions of the order were held, but the day was devoted to sight-seeing trips, ritual- istiz ccremonies and similar activities. Every available motor bus in the city and some from nearby places were hirad today to take the Grangers to the Government experimental farm and | ather points of mterest in and near the National Capital. Even that number of busses was not enough to accommo- date the crowd. and it was necessary (o | stop selling bus sight-seeing tickets, leaving hundreds of persons disappoint- ed. In some instances private cars were commandeered in an effort to re- lieve the congestion, which, however, continued during the day as hundreds of men and women sought a chance to see the sights of the National Capmll.ls 3,000 to Take Degree. Advance indications are that at least | 3,000 Grangers will take the seventh degree of the order at tonight's session. The list of congressional Grangers in- cludes Senators Capper of Kansas, chairman of the District of Columbia committee of the Senate and chairman of the Senate farm bloc, and Borah of Idaho and Representatives Ketcham of Michigan, Fish of New York, Williams and Adkins of Illinois, Hall of North (Ka Dakota, Menges of @ennsylvania, Strong of Kansas and Ruth Hanna McCormick of Illinois. The fifth degree has been conferred | 5 on many Grangers by the Pomona me Grange of Fairfax, Va, one of the |En new Granges of Virginia. B One of the most interesting reports | made by any State master was that | & of A. G. Ensor of Maryland, who told of agricultural conditions in this nearby State. “There is not a great deal of change ' 3% in the agricultural situation from a year ago,” Mr. Ensor reported. “Maryland crops might be classed as about average. | Many truck farmers have had a very unsuccessful year. “Dairying is on the increase in Mary- land. Reports show this branch of farming is growing very rapidly in most | i of the States and that the United States is produeing about 98 per cent of - all dairy products consumed. “The Maryland Dairymen’s Associ- ation marketed this year for its mem- bers 26,020.908 gallons of milk. The] fluid milk sold f.0.b. farm at 33 cents a gallon and 4 per cent butter and sur- plus at $0.2723.” J. R. Horsley of Appomattox County, master of the Virginia State Grange, submitted a brief report. The Virginia | Grange was organized only a little more than two months ago. More than a thousand Grangers vis- ited the Washington Cathedral this morning and the national officers and State masters were received by Bishop Freeman, who stressed the importance of cultivating character as well as the sofl, in a brief address.

Roy J. Barnett, tax commissioner for Stewart's company, testified he had ac- ceded to a request by the board chair- man November 26, 1921, to accept the bonds as a trust, and that Stewart had | personally prepared the document. This | |came after the Government had won a | | point in introducing Stewart’s testimony | ! to the Senate committee April 24, when he had disclosed receipt of the bonds nd existence of the trust agreement. ustic . Bailey overruled defense objec- |tion to this record, following which it | was read to the jury. i Correspondents Testity. | Two newspaper -correspondents, Elliott | Thurston of the New York World and | | Paul Y. Anderson of the St. Louis Post- | | Dispatch, testified the defendant had |told the Senate public lands committee | |last February that he had received no | Continental bonds and had no knowl- | | edge of any distribution of bonds by the | company. Their statements were at- |tacked by Frank J. Hogan, defense counsel, who contended that the news- papers represented by the witnesses had | been bitterly “hostile” to Stewart. 1 Barnett said Stewart had stipulated in 1921 that existence of the trust agreement should be kept secret and | that they alone knew of it until in 1924, | when they informed L. L. Stevens, coun- sel for the Standard Oil Co. of Indi- |ana, about it. In 1924 also, Barnett | said, he had ceased clipping coupons from the Liberty bonds upon a sug- | | gestion to this effect from Stewart, be- | cause of publicity resulting from the | |oll scandal investigations at that time. | ‘The trust agreement held that Bar- | nett should retain the bonds until Stew- | art directed their transfer to his com- | pany or to the Sinclair Crude Oil Pur- | chasing Co., which concerns, he has as- ! serted, were to receive them eventually. Barnett produced a record showing tha the bonds, amounting to $707,500, with accumulated interest, had been turned ! over last April to the Sinclair Co., with a stipulation that he, as trustee, | would not be responsible for any tax claims levied on them against the Con- tinental Trading Co. g More than 250 policemen of all ranks recently went from Dublin, Ireland, to Rome, where they were received by the | Pope, it being the largest body of police- men ever received at the Vatican, and ppeared in uniform. verfect, hiye dlamond in very mewest white gold A white the 18 Pay $1 Week Ladies’ ELGIN LADIES’ Beautiful hite gold chrom. inish with Jew- OPEN SATURDAY EVENING EMBER 16, 1928, OEHMANN FAVOR CHANGES I OFFE Reorganization of District Building Inspector’s Depart- ment Is Recommended. A report carrying many recommenda- tions for reorganization of the District building inspector’s office is being drawn up by Col. John W. Oehmann. the building inspector, and is expected to ready for the Commissioners within two weeks. Chief among the recommendations will be that the system of assigning inspectors to building jobs over the city by districts be abandoned, in face of 12 plan of assigning the inspectors ac- cording to the class of jobs inspected be substituted. Data is now being col- lected and analyzed with a view to de- termining whether this will call for any increase in the present force of 10 field inspectors. One of the recommendations will be for more fire escape inspectors. There is only one Inspector now assigned. Other recommendations will probably include requests for more elevator in- spectors. Course of Report. ‘The report will have to run the gantlet of many agencies before the | reorganization. The District Commis- sloners must then approv: the plan, ,and finally expenditure of the money necessary to put it into effect must be approved by the Bureau of the Budget and appropriated by Congress. How much of an increase will be called for { is. not known. Other recommendations to be in the report will concern changing and sim- plifying the -various blank forms now in use and changing the system of record keeping, in an effurt to do more work with the present clerical force, SHIP REPORTED LOST.

ROCKVILLE, Md., November 16.—As a result of a sermon last Sunday in which he denounced “the courthouse gang” as being responsible for a de- plorable condition of bootlegging and lawlessness, Rev. Henry H. Nichol, pastor of the Kensington and Cedar Grove Baptist Churc Wwas _sum- moned before the Montgomery County grand jury today. ‘The pastor is said to have stated that he learned of a woman in the county who boasted of having sold 20,- 000 bottles of “booze” in one year. He said that a general clean-up must be made and that he doesn't intend to rest until results are accomplished. He should have acted before, he said, but now will insist on police action and that those who are responsible, from the highest office down to the lowest, might as well * up.” He would be glad to stay out of politics if politics would be clean, he said, but politics demand the interest of preachers as well as all others when they are “dirty.” He referred to the “great victory” for prohibition in Montgomery County. The pastor went to Rockville imme- diately, prepared, his friends szy, to supply information upon which the grand jury may be expected to return indictments. pit to “Gang,” to Testify. |REPORT WILL BE MADE ON LEGALIZED BOXING A report on the proposal to legalize boxing in the District will be submitted to the public order committee of the Board of Trade by a special committee headed by Matthew O'Brien at a dinner meeting of the group Monday evening :gd the Raleigh Hotel, it was announced ay.
