A—2 URGES NECESSITY OF CUTIN COTTON Carl Williams of Federal Farm Board Favors New Policy for Atlantans. R Br the Associated Press. ATLANTA, _January million acres planted in cotton means poverty and the Dixie f{armer must back-pedal to the 40-million-acre level or under if he wants profits instead of a struggle for existence, Carl ‘Willlamx member of the Federal Farm Board representing cotton, told a group of At- lanta business men today. The pointer on the cotton-acreage meter is far above the “danger” line and must drop at least 10 per cent if the farmer wants prosperity, Mr. Wil- liams said at a breakfast at which he and Alexander Legge, chairman of the Farm Board, were guests. Last of Visit Series. | Mr. Williams and Mr. Legge stopped oft in Atlanta four hours this morning , the last of a series of one-day ! “stands” that has taken them through Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, then to New Orleans and Atlanta. They have stressed the point, said | Mr. Williams, that the Farm Board and its ‘agencies will be no mighty necro- mancers to dissolve the woes of King Cotton, but that the farmers hold the key to their own salvation. The board. he said, will set up agencies that will do the best that good business can_do for the cotton that is produced. But the key of production is held by the growers. “Cotton quantity has increased and quality has decreased.” said Mr. Wil- liams. “The grower must undertake a reversal of form—cut quantity. but in- crease quality, and concentrate on the type of cotton adapted to profitable production in the United States. Means T Upgrade. “As soon as he gets on the right track he will be on the upgrade. As it is," he declared, “his plight is un- paralleled except in the slum districts of New York." “In his co-operatives,” he continued, “he will find agencies ‘that will assist him to control his own destiny. He must give his co-operatives the power of organization that can assure regu- Iation of production.” Mr. Legge drew an overproduction comparison with wheat, saying “the thing resolves itself into this question. Would you rather get a dollar a bushel for five bushels or a dollar and a half a bushel for four bushels?” DRIVER OF WRECKED BUS IS HELD RESPONSIBLE Inspectors Say Negligence Caused Ohio Accident Which Seven Were Killed. By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 9.— Joseph Baker, driver of the Burbank school bus which was wrecked at a Shreve, Ohio, grade crossing on the | night of January 3, resulting in_the death of seven members of the Bur- bank basket ball team and injury of | seven other high school students, was | held_responsible for the accldent by | inspectors of the State Public Utilities Commission today. ‘The cause of the accident was due to the negligence on the part of the bus driver who failed to bring at & point where he hing in { coul train.

An effort to organize the wet bloc of the House, on the premise that prohi- bition is & failure and modification m- perative, was today's contribution to the controversy which has raged in Wash- ington since the Christmas holidays began. A meeting of House members not in sympathy with the prohibition law was called for this afternoon, marking one of the first coherent moves by congres- sional wets to present a united front in their attempts to repeal the Volstead| law. “This country,” said Representative | i | i MAHATMA GANDHL AHMEDABAD, India, January 9.

We were bound, there- fore, in pursuance of that resolution to press for a clear declaration that the proposed round table conference would consider only ways and means of fram- ing a scheme for a dominion status constitution and no other. This the viceroy, Lord Irwin, could not do. Whilst, therefore, we appreci- | ated his good efforts and his difficulties, | we had no course left open but to de- | cline to have congress represented at | the proposed conference.

They had two sons, Curtis, who resides at Rosemont, Pa., and Cary, who lives at Merion, Pa. The sons, as well as Mr. Curtis, were summoned to Mr. Bok’s bedside yester- day. but did not get there in time. Funeral services will be held here to- morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. The body will be buried in a crypt at the | base of the Singing Tower that was prepared when the tower was built.

The Bok carillon, a shaft of color ris- ing out of the surrounding forest, is éonstructed of Coquina rock. and of gray creole and pink etowah marble from Georgla. The grill work at the small windows that pierce the walls is formed to represent Florida animal and vegetable life. Encircling the tower at the top is & marble band on which are carved cranes, flamingos and other na- tive birds. The singing tower stands atop a hill said to be the highest in the State. It is 204 feet in height and 51 feet wide at the base. In gradually chang- ing lines it becomes octagonal at the top, which is 37 feet in diameter.

He himself adhered to this plan of livini First, the period of education. Second, the period of achievement. Third, the period of retirement as a community asset. His parents, forced by financial re- verses to eke out a meager living in Brooklyn, N. Y., young Bok was unable to attend the public schools after he was 13 years old. He became an office boy for the Western Union. By dint of studious application at night he man- l?ed to fit himself for the editorship of the Brooklyn Magazine, a task which he assumed at the age of 19. His period of education came to a close much sooner than in the case of the average college man of today. Began Second Period Early. Bok's period of achievement dated from the time of his acceptance of the editorship of the Ladies’ Home Journal when he was 25.

RIVERDALE SAFE BLOWN BY YEGGS Hours After Additional Po- liceman Is Appointed. A few hours after the mayor and council of Riverdale had appointed a new policeman in an effort to check an epidemic of robberies in the town, the safe In the post office there was blqwn open and robbed of a quantity of stamps and cash early today. Postal authorities were unable to give an estimate of the amount of loss pend- ing a check-up. The robbery is laid to professionals. Postal Inspector M. W. P.

Aside from the finger- prints, no other clews were found. Robbers Forced Window. The robbers left behind, however, building was entered. A screen on the window nearest the safe had been pried open and the window lock forced. The windows of the post office building are not barred.

The diag- nosis is difficult because the bacillus psittacosis recovered from the victims is every similar to the paratyphoid basillus and the streptococcus and pneu- moococcus are usually found in con- junction with it. Some authorities in- §ist that psittacosis never has been found in a human being. Others believe that the infection is not serious in it- 1f, but that psittacosis prepares the way for the pneumococcus invasion. In human victims the lungs are always involved, while no case of lung dam- #age has been found in dead parrots. Similar to Typhoid. The progress is similar to that of typhoid fever. The temperature goes up rapidly, reaching from 102 to 104, with daily remissions, and the pulse rate ix from 100 to 120. 'There is a cough from the first with bloody sputum and a greatly increased respiration rate. ‘The victims are dull and stupid, with frequent lapses into delirlum. The out- look is always favorable if the pneu- monia complication can be avoided. While there is little doubt as to the responsibility of the parrot, according to the Hygienic Laboratory references, the outbreaks of the disease have been 50 infrequent that no country has yet required the quarantine of these birds before admission. Some hold that the disease is acquired by the parrots due to the insanitary and crowded quarters in which they are brought in from the troplcs. Parrot fever, it was pointed out at the Hygienic Labortory, must always be dis- tinguished from one of the rarer mi adies similar to hay fever, which have been traced to pet parrots and to which only a few persons are susceptible. Reports from the Annapolis Hospital today were that Mr. and Mrs. Kalmey, and Mrs. Simon 8. Martin, Mrs. K mey's mother, were progressing favor- ably, although they have not yet reached the erisis of the disease. Specialists Co-operate. Two public health service physicians, Dr. C. Armstrong and Dr. L. F. Badger, visited Annapolls yesterday to study the outbreak. Johns Hopkins University specialists also are co-operating. The outbreak in the Kalmey family apparently has been traced to a parrot purchased & few wecks ago in & Balti- more pet store, which became sick shortly after they took it home, It died 10 days after the purchase. All the victims handled the sick bird. Mr. Martin, sscretary of the Annapolis Chamber of Commerce. also handled it, but_has not been attacked. The only known way of treating the disease is to bulld up the general bodily resistance. * PARROTT FEVER KILLS FIVE.

Magruder Issues Statement. In announcing later that he intended to represent Brady, Magruder issued a statement criticizing the officials con- nected with the case. The statement Tollows: * “The family sought my advice yes- | terday; first, on the advisability of a writ of habeas corpus to bring the in- vestigation to the point where it would be termined by court action whether there was any limit to the summary action of the authorities in retaining these boys for investigation. And, sec- | ond, in the event that either of them eventually should be charged with any crime, would I represent them. I told | them that I would in nowise hamper | in the slightest the fullest investigation and I would not procure a writ of habeas corpus because the character of the crime was such as to warrant the authorities in making the most rigid inquiry. I told them further that I| would not represent either Herman or | Leroy if there was any foundation for their guilt. I made a very fair check- up and feel warranted in saying that in my judgment neither had anything to do with this crime. “I then advised with State Senator Lansdale G. Sasscer and Frank M. Hall and asked if they would be willing to take part with me m the event that either should be held for any part in the crime and they both consented. “You will recall that the investigi tors held Clarence Brady from last Fri- day afternoon until late Sunday and then dismissed him.

It is a fact also when Leroy heard he was wanted for grilling, the appropriate word I think for this character of in- vestigation, he voluntarily came from ‘Washington, where he residesqto Upper Marlboro, sought the sheriff’s office and willingly offered himself for examina- tion, and he, too, has been in their custody sipce last Sunday night and is still incarcerated in the county jail. “The plan seems to be to place the responsibility on Leroy. Immunity from prosecution, I am advised, has been pledged Herman if he will give aid and assistance in making Leroy the ‘flut,' but you know courts have some- thing to say about immunity promises. | | | g5t Four Die in Train Crash.

An act of Congress would be neces~ sary, as the present zoning regulations allow a maximum of only 110 feet. A similar act was passed to allow the National Press Club to put up its pres- ent structure at Fourteenth and F streets. “If the proposed building is erected in accordance with the requirements of the regulations now in force,” the Com- missioners wrote, “it would be of a commanding height because of the topography of the land and, under the circumstances, the Commissioners are unable to appreciate upon what logical yrounds a building of the height of 180 feet can be justified. The Commission- ers are opposed to the weakening of the zoning regulations by exceptions, and they feel that amendments should be discouraged unless they are of general application, 1f the bill is enacted, a precedent would be establishe hich could not be logically defended. In a report to the Commissioners on the subject by Col. John W. Oehmann, the District bullding inspector, he wrote: “The (zoning) act was amended to permit the height of the Press Build- ing. This office opposed the amend- ment, but it passed, the argument pre- valling that it should be allowed the same height as the Willard Hotel, across the street.
