Adams in 1920, when | he sailed the American Cup contender, Resolute, over the finish line ahead of | | Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock IV to capture the international yacht races off Sandy Hook. Those races will be| remembered as among the most bitterly contested of all Lipton cup competi- tions. Capt. Adams was beset with difficulties at the outset, not the least of these being a broken halyard, that forced his withdrawal from the first race, but his uncanny seamanship in the succeeding races carried him safely | through all hazards to a glorious vic- tory.

R, ASKED FOR FARM VIEWS Added to List of Magnates Invited Before Senate Committee. | By the Associated Press John D. Rockefeller, jr., was added | today to the list of magnates invited to give their views on farm relief before the Senate agricultural committee. Chairman McNary of the committee said he had invited Rockefeller along ! with Henry Ford, Charles M. S(‘hwab‘! | J. P. Morgan, Paul M. Warburg and Owen D. Young. i |~ Chairman McNary received the first reply from telegrams sent out to thel | group of financiers and manufacturers | to appear before the committee. The reply was from William Higgins, assist- | ant secretary to J. P. Morgan, and! read: | “Telegram teceived. Mr. J. P. Mor- gan is abroad on reparations matters | and not expected to return for consider- | able time.” ] Two Committees Busy. | Farm relief overshadowed all else at | the Capitol today as the agriculture’ committees of both House and Seuate | for the first time simultaneously turned | their attentlon to the formulation of | legislation on this subject for action by | the Hoover administration. | The Senate committee had two days, of work behind it. At the other end of the Capitol the House committee was called for its first meeting since the Seventieth Congress passed into history, but the interim has been used by its members for more than one informal discussion of the question. A number of the House mermbers | fecl that_the Republican convention in Kansas City buried the equalization fee proposed by the twice-vetoed McNary- Haugen bill and also eliminated any suggestions looking to price-fixing and the placing of Government into busi- | | | { | | | ness. It is known, on the other hand. that a number of the members believe the convention placed the administration on record to provide for Federal farm board, the enactment of legislation looking to the creation of stabilization corporations, the further development of co-operative marketing. and the estab- Iishment of farmer-controlled machinery for the operation of the agricultural business.

CAPTAIN EXPLAINS SINKI NEW ORLEANS, March 26 (#).—The mecount of the sinking of the British Tum schooner I'm Alone, given by the captain of the sunken ship, formed the basis today of a rcron by the British consul at New Orleans to Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassador at Wash- ington. In his statement the captain said that 8t no time was he within the jurisdi¢- tion of the United States and contended that United States Coast Guardsmen | had exceeded their rights by sinking | his ship last Priday in the Gulf of | Mexico. He characterized the sinking | 25 one of the most cowardly acts on the high seas ‘since the submarine warfare. Coast Guardsmen, on the other hand, said they fired at the schooner within the 12-mile limit when the captain re- fused to let them search the ship for | contraband liquor before they chased her out into the Gulf and sunk her with 2400 cases aboard, | The British consul muGe no recom- | mendation, confining his report merely | 1o a statement of such facts as he has been able to ascertain.

Watson, | counsel for the committee, and Supreme Court Justice Clarence E.

Gray, legislative repre- sentative of the American Farm Bu- reau Feéderation, appearing as the first witness before thé committee, said that his group, while not relinquishing its position in favor of the equalization fee, was willing to accept any mode of relief which would follow the lines it had advocated in the past. He said the federation desired that the relief extended be effective, that surplus control be provided and that agriculture be not subsidized. Gray said that while the farm or- ganizations were interested in various legislative proposals such as Muscle Shoals .development and an extension of farm credits, they did not consider that these separate proposals would af- ford farm relief.

Mrs. | Adams, the 30-year-old widow, said he {used the drug to induce sleep. She is |in jail awaiting the action by the grand | jury in June. Joseph D. Freedman, counsel for Mrs. Adams, said it would be possible to bring | forward a number of witnesess to show that Adams more than once had threat- ened to take his life. He also quoted Mrs. Adams as saying she saturated the handkerchief a second time so that her husband “might sleep more soundly through the night and morning because she wanted to be relieved of him for a few hours.” He said the defense would raise the '\question whether the amount of drug used by Adams the first time might not isave killed him. A Buddhist burial service was read at Adams’ funeral yesterday by Rev. Charles Graves, pastor of the First Unitarian Church, both Adams and his wife' having embraced the Buddhist faith some years ago.

Recorder Froe, in explaining the situ- | atlon today, sald many employes have consented to work during the periods so | as not to interrupt the business of the office.

Deking's laccount differed from the deputy's in that the deputy stated Mrs. Deking al- ready had picked up the pistol and aimed it at him, whereas Deking de- clared Mrs. Deking had just started to- ward her husband when the shooting started. < Tear Bomb Thrown. Some one threw a tear bomb into the room, Peter Deking said, and Mrs. Deking, choking and mortally wounded, crawled toward the door. ‘The boy Gerald gave a similar ac- count. “I grabbed one of the guns my daddy dropped and I shot with it,” he said. “It was the first time I ever shot a gun. ‘The boy said that the gallon of wine confiscated by the deputies had been obtained for him, “because the doctor said I should drink a glass every night because I have anemia.” Peter Deking testified yesterday before a coroner’s jury. The inquest was con- tinued until the wounded deputy sheriff is able to appear.
