Here are some of the restrictions em- phasized as keeping a typical high- grade subdivision up to its own highest sales condition: Architectural control, restrietions against sale to undesirable residents and ! discouragement of sale of lots for spec- ulative purposes. Strict architectural control is car- ried out in such detail in the Roland Park district that no resident can even repaint his shutters without first sub- mitting a sample of the color to the company for approval. ‘The signifi- cant_element in the matter of architec- tural control in the district is that | approval is given by a board of archi- tects. » ' BORDER BAN DELAYED.

WASHINGTON, D. €., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2%, 1929.° HYDE HAS STIMSON'S GOAT. TAATONBALANE Under Present System, Says Ex-Governor. | By the Assoclated Press. | MILWAUKEE, June 26.—A new pub- lic attitude toward agriculture and the frank recognition of the facts as to | the agricultural situation is needed more than any one piece of legislation to bring economic justice to the farmer, former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illi- | nois told the thirteenth annual con- ventidn of the Kiwanis International today. With the attaiment of these ends, he held, ways to restore the proper bal- ance between agriculture and industry will present themselves, One way in which the ills of agri- culture may be remedied, Mr. Lowden said, is to change the present method of taxation. The farmer is being done 8 great injustice, he contended, by the existing methods, inasmuch as intangi- ble mown{ esca) direct taxation, while farm land, always tangible prop- erty, is made to bear the greatest bur- den of the cost of government. “While agriculture, business and the economist all f“ to this theory, said the speaker, have heard of no Chamber of Commerce, nor any other organization representing business lend- ing its support to the equalization of this burden through a revision of the taxing laws. Soll Depletion Goes On. “Depletion of solls is going on at & dangerous rate and, when farm sur- pluses are often driving the price of farm products below the cost of pro- duction, we are adding to those sur- pluses by robbing the soil” sald Mr. Lowden. The State and Pederal Gov- ernments could aid the farmer in this by exempting all lands from taxation which are devoted to some legume or by paying a reasonable bounty to_the owners of the lands while they kept them out of cultivation, the speaker suf former governor outlined the contrast between city and rural life and warned of the impossibility of maintaining much longer the double standard of living in the United States. City Schools Improve. ‘While the country school has rapidly lost its old vitality and its importance in the life of the people, the city school has constantly improved, he said. Due largely to improved machinery the pop- ulation of the rural school district has declined so rapidly that in Iowa alone 500 schools were closed. The speaker de- clared this in substance was an integral part of the farm problem, and that g should not be overlooked in seekini a remedy for the ills of agriculture. “The trek cityward is already under way,” he said. “I am not disturbed about the movement, but I am tremen- dously concerned that this migration should not drain our countryside of the stalwart young men and women who fer life on the farm, but who are drawn to the citles because they cannot secure s fair reward for their efforts on the farm. Generations hence, when the problem is not of surplus, but of .deficit of farm products, these stal- wart men and women will be needed on the farm, if we are to feed at a reasonable cost the constantly increas- ing population in our metropolitan centers.” Mr. Lowden urged that an “inven- tory” be made of the Nation's agricul- tural resources. If this had been done had | half céntury ago, he said, “we would not now be humiliaf to find huge devastated areas in Great Lakes region, upon which thé forests are en- tirely destroyed, lands that have re- verted to the States, or which, have been y | sold to the deluded farmers only to be may | ing. Clues Thus Far Ace False. ‘There wd¥ some feeling in Spain )‘J‘je tingly, and have come down much along his route to New York. His statement to friends prior to de- parture that he would “surprise” them tended to support this theory. ‘Those most hopeful the four men would be found alive believed they had alighted at some remote island of the Azores arcl , and would be picked up shortly. Varied clues, purporting to locate the seaplane or its wreckage thus far all appeared to have been faise. REFIT FRANCO'S SEAPLANE. Numancia Ts Groomed to Take Air in Search for Flyers. CARTAGENA, Spain, June 26 (#).— nt_ four-motored seaplane Nu- mancia of Maj. Ramon Franco has been refitted and refueled for departure for the Azores in quest of the four missing Spanish transatlantic aviators. Army mechanics yesterday completed two days' work in changing one of its engines which gave the missing avia- tors trouble while they still considered using the plane on their transatlantic venture. Officials maintained absolute secrecy as to their plans. It was known, nev- ertheless, that the flight was considered s possibly the most hopeful of the tremendous efforts being made to lo- cate the missing aviators, who disap- peared early Saturday en route to New K. Y‘Zl‘:he Numancia is the same seaplane which Maj. Pranco and his companions, Maj. Rduardo Gonzales Gallardo and Capt. Julio Ruiz de Alda, fitted ofla- inally for a round-the-world trip, fail- ing last year with a forced landing on the Portuguese border, after taking-off at Cadiz. Overheating in one of the motors caused it to be left behind Friday, The Italian seaplane, a Savoia 39, in command of the Italian Comdr.

Eagle, aircraft. carrier, searched a wide area until sunset yesterday in the region where the Spanish transatlantic aviators were heard from last, but with- out success. Alrcraft were: released from the ship and covered a broad area in front of the ship, but the search was in vain. ‘The admiraity, acting upon the re- quest of the ministry of marine, now has ordered the carrier to proceed to a point approximately 150 miles south- east of the Azores, where there were various reports of the wreckage of a plane ‘having been seen. It should reach the position late today. French Consul Escapes Shots, BERLIN, June 26 (#)—M.

OHI0 REQUISITION FOR J. C. ROY DENIED Chief Justice McCoy Holds No Fraud Intent Shown in No- vember Election Case. Chlef Justice McCoy" today declined to honor the requisition of the Gov- ernor of Ohlo for the return to that State of James C. Roy, charged with voting twice at the November election in Summit County. Through Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert and George D. Horning, jr, the requisition was re- sisted by Roy, who explained that Oc- tober 13 last while he was in the county & question arose as to his right to vote and was decided in his favor. As he was returning to Washington he marked a ballot and left it with the election officers to be voted November 6. On November 1 he received in Wash- ington another ballot blank, and sus- pecting that some error may have been made in the one he had left for deposit filled out the second blank and mailed it. ‘The chief justice held that as no criminal intent had been shown by the prosecution and since Roy had not been within the State since October 13 he could not be held as a fugitive, U.

DEBT COURSE CLOUDED IN DOUBT IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES German indebtedness to the allies could come, makes the situation here some- what uncomfortable, ' especially be- cause the Wilson, Harding and Coolidge administrations publicly declined to have interallied debts and reparations linked to the war debt to America. None of this in the Young plan js submitted to America for ratification. Congress is to be asked merely to make the minor changes in adjusting the pay- ments for the army of occupation, It is a safe assumption that if the whole plan had to come to Congress, there would be extensive debate, though the plan is so vital to economic welfare of the world that it is likely it ulti- mately would have been ratified despite opposition. It will take a majority vote and not two-thirds to get the necessary amendments to the World War debt acts as Congress through the original liberty loan act and loans to the Allies, made it & matter of legislation rather than treaty. participate in the economic arrange- ments_that may flow from the Young plan, President Hoover will be a sympa- thetic supporter.

S. Willlam Hamilton Bones, pet goat of Secretary of State Stimson and Capt. Eugene Regnier, sits peacefully on an Army transport in San cisco Har- bor, where Department of Agriculture officials will not let him land from the Philippines, blissfully ignorant that he is the cause of the first complications to upset the Hoover cabinet. ‘The fact of the matter appears to be that Secretary of Agriculture Hyde has got Mr. Stimson’s goat and only & spe- cial ruling by the former can remove the official ban that has been placed on the innocent Willlam Hamilton Bones as_an “undesirable.” Department of Agriculture officials are determined that the he-goat in question shall not enter the United States. They say there is an absolute embargo against the importation of all goats and that Willlam Hamilton Bones can be no exception to the rule, even though he is the special pet of the Sec- retary of State and his military aide. The latter maintain, however, that Willlam Hamilton Bones is a special {case, and Secretary Stimson is said to be expecting to plead that case at a cabinet meeting. Willlam Hamilton Bones, agricultural officials say, might carry with him hoof and mouth disease, rhinderpest, pleural pneumonta, or all three. This is the reason there is a complete embargo against foreign goats. & Secretary Hyde today feferred in- quirers to the Bureau of Animal In- dustry, and Acting Chief U. G. Houck of that bureau ie standing pat on the determination to uphold the regula- tions, which would prevent the spread of animal diseases by the possible ad- mission of any goat, whether befriended by a Secretary of State or by no one. “Bones’ admission is subject entirely to a special ruling by the Secretary of Agriculture,” he said, and washed his hands of the incident. Willlam Hamilton Bones, aside from the fact that he is the pet of a cabinet officer, is not even a pedigreed goat, and this ‘makes the situation worse. He is a wild Hawailan goat, captured when his mother was shot among the extinet volcanoes of the mid-Pacific. Agricultural ‘officials are rather in- dignant at the idea of admitting any goat, much less a pedigreeless goat ‘They say that not even the finest milk goats of Switzerland have been admitted to the United States. Why, there- fore. should they admit a wild raga- muffin of a goat from the Philippines? The United States has just spent $500,000 eradicating hoof and mouth disease in California and Agricultural officials don’t care to take a chance on spending more money, perhaps, by admitting William Hamilton Bones. Meanwhile, the goat in question ap- parently is satisfied with his present quarters on the Army transport, and if he has any knowledge of the rumpus his case is raising in official Washing- ton, he doesn’t show X.

DENIESLIQUOR DRIVE IN SCHOOLS Prohibition Propaganda Will Be ‘'Sent Teachers Only on Request, Officials Say. ‘Having made it clear that any co- operation which schools of the country give in educating American children to the benefits of prohibition will be entirely voluntary on the part of the schools, prohibition officials today turned their attention to other phases of the problem of “dissemination of facts with respect to the’ eighteenth amendment dealing with prohibition.” Only a few hundred dollars have been expended in printing form circulars which the Prohibition Bureau will make available for such schools as desire them. The Prohibition Bureau has $50,- 000 appropriated by Congress to spread the “facts” about prohibition and now is working on plans for the best use of this money, Lowman' Stands Pat. Standing pat on the formal statement issued late yesterday denying that the Government would “attempt to use the schools as a propaganda medium,” As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury Low- man said that the next factors to ke considered were pamphlets describing the economic effects of prohibiticn and the problem as to whether to use post- ers. The bulletins on the economic phases of prohibition, Mr. Lowman said, would be made available in like manner to the school bulletins, for the people and organizations of the country who de- sire to make use of them, The economic bulletin not yet has been written, but is under way. The question of the posters still is an un- decided one. Both Assistant Secretary Lowman and Prohibition Commissioner James M. Doran have not yet made up their minds as to whether they will use some of the many sample posters al- ready submitted or whether they will eliminate the whole poster proposition. Neither official. seems to be satisfied with the posters submitted and they appear to be somewhat in doubt as to the feasibility of using posters at all. ‘Will Not Use Movies. ‘The Government will not resort to the motion picture, nor to magazine or newspaper advertising in the expendi- ture of what they consider the relatively small sum of $50,000. Officials feel that such a sum could not go far in any one of these fields. The impression that the Government planned to actively propagandize the schools of the country was corrected last night by a formal statement issued following conference between Prohibi- tion Commissioner Doran, Assistant Secretary Lowman and Under Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills. Miss Anna B. Sutter of the Prohibi- tion Bureau will continue with her plans to go to Atlanta the last of this week to make available to teachers at the National Education Association an- nual convention copies of the pamphlet “How Shall We Teach the hteenth Amendment?” Smaliness of Fund Cited. ‘The statement issued concerning this pamphlet and the denial that it will be active propaganda, read, in, part, as follows: - “A wrong impression seems to have been created as to just what the Pro- hibition Bureau is to do with this money,” said the statement, referring to the $50,000. “Many of the States have laws re- quiring that the effects of alcohol and | liam narcotics on the human system be taught in the public schools,” said Dr. Doran. “The trict of lumbia has such a law and such teaching is now under way in the schools.” “The Bureau of Prohibition has pre- pared a limited number of pamphlets which contain accurate information on these subjects as well as the economic phases of prohibition and they are available should they be desired. The Federal Governmeni is not going to supply any teachers or lecturers for this work, hut upon request from the regular constituted school authorities the Bureau of Prohibition will furnish such pamphlets and information as it has available. ““The public school system is operated under the control and authority of the several’ State governments and the curriculum in the schools is not sub- ject to control of the Federal Govern- ment. The Treasury Department does not intend to make suggestions to school authorities or to attempt to use the schools as a propaganda medium. “The fact that but ,000 is avail- able makes it apparent to any one that the Federal Government is not in a position to carry on propaganda in the public school \system of -the United State, but is only in a position to fur- nish documentary statements of the workings of the prohibition law. In fact, the amount intended for this pur- pose will not exceed the insignificant sum of a Tew hundred dollars.” D. C.

For The present, at any rate, it ap- pears to be the intention of the Board of "Dducl‘tllgn to mltln‘lllzlhl “hands lefl'; policy_with respect to the proposal of the Prohibition Bureau to institute courses on prohibition in the public schools of the country. It is highly improbable that the board will take any action at its meeting at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, or that the controversial issue will be discussed, ac- cording to Dr. Prank W. Ballou, super- intendent of public schools. If the sub- Ject is brought up, he indicated, it is not likely to be extended. The explrxaluon given by Prohibition Commissioner James H. Doran last night, that pamphlets on the dry laws will be furnished only to those school boards which request them and that their use in the schools is entirely optional, cleared up the matter so far as the Washington public schools are concerned. Since the question never has been submitted officially or unofficially to the Board of Education, Dr. Ballou explained today, it is not one of the subject matters scheduled for consid- eration at today's meeting. - FALSE FIRE ALARM FINE OF $100 IS SUSPENDED Man, 69, in Argument With Younger One, Thought He Was Calling Police to Aid Him, Execution of a fine of $100 or 90 days imposed on Samuel 8.

PHILADELPHIA, June 26.—A. peti- tion for a writ of error was filed in the Municipal Court today for the purpose of having “Scarface” Al Capone, Chi- cago gangster, released from the Holmes- burg County Jail, where he is serving a year's sentence for carrying a loaded pistol. A hearing of the writ will be held Saturday before Judge John E. Walsh, who sentenced Capone and his body- guard, Frank Cline, also a Chicago gangster. Cline was not included in the attempt to have Capone released. Writ Application Rare. ‘The writ applied for is technically known as coram nobis and is said to be rarely applied for in misdemeanor cases such as that to which Capone pleaded guilty and was sentenced on May 17. The errors cited in the petition for a reversal of the court’s action in sen- tencing Capone are that he was allowed insufficient time to consult counsel and prepare an adequate defense; that the jury drawn for trial, but dismissed When Capone pleaded guilty, was prej- udiced; that the crowded . courtroom and consequent commotion of the trial prejudiced the case, and that Capone was virtually forced to make a plea of guilty. The petition was filed by Represent- ati™ Benjamin M. Golder, law partner of Bernard L. Lemisch, who was Ca- pone’s ol 1 at the time he was sen- tenced. ccompanying the ' petition were affidavits by Capone, Lemisch and Cornelius Haggarty, jr., associate coun- sel with Lemisch. _ Arrested at Movie. Capone and Cline were arrested on the night of May 16 as they were leav- a motion piciure house, by two Phil- adelphia detectives. They were held in $35,000 bail each, on a charge of carry- ing concealed deadly weapons. The next morning they were indicted. They were immediately placed on trial, plead- ed guilty, and were in the county pris« on by 1 pm. the same day. The Chicago gang leader said he and Cline were on their way from Atlantic City to Chicago and had stop- ped in the motion picture house while waiting for a night traim to Chicago.
