— SBEGUNINVEST| lunior Raisers First to Com- pete for Prizes in Chi- cago Show. By the Associated Press. CHICAGQ, November 28.—Young America led the way today in farm- dom’s great contest for honors and | prizes at the Thirty-seventh Interna- tional Live Stock Exposition. Junior live stock raisers were first to have their names on the winners'| sheets as their elders prepared entries for competition in the world’s largest agricultural show. Warren Held of Hinton, Iowa, took the first blue rib- bon with a shorthorn steer in the light class. Scattered over 7 acres in the $2,- 000,000 International Amphitheater were millions of dollars’ worth of the finest farm animals and the pick of grains from the United States and Canada. More than $100,000 prizes will be awarded. Farmers pointed to sleek animals in vast halls allotted to cattle, swine, sheep and horses and long halls lined with glistening grains as they decried suggestions the Summer drought had impaired the quality of exhibits. Display Is Hailed. B. E. Groom of Fargo, N. D., chair- | mah of the Agricultural Committee of | the Greater Nort: Dakota Associa- | tion, which sponsors that State’s en- | tries, said their display was the equal | 1n quality and size of any in the past. | Interest in the grazin show was heightened this year by the return of three widely known “kings” of the farm world to competition after three years of rest in keeping with the three- year retirement rule for major title winners. By Monday night the grain crowns will have been placed again. Around the exposition halls farmers asked whether they would go to the “big three” who have come back—Herman ‘Trelle, the wheat grower from Wem- bley, Alberta, Canada; C. E. Troyer, | the La Fontaine, Ind., corn raiser, and M. V. Gillett of Lexington, Nebr, former “hay king.” But the “king” that gets the most | attention—the grand champion steer | ~—never comes back. The slickly| combed, perfectly built animal that will carry off the purple ribbon will be named Tuesday. I King Steer’s Glory Short. | ‘The king steer's glory is short lived.

More than 1000 followers of the four-leaf clover, symbol of the 4-H clubs, were expected tomorrow night from 45 States.

NOVEMBER 29, 193—PART ONE. MAY STIR UP WAR Death of Sulu Ruler Brings Crisis Second Time in 5 Months. BY JAMES G. WINGO. Next week when the Moros in the southern . Philippines complete their third customary gatherings in honor of His Highness Rajah Muda Ma- walil Wasit Kiram, Sultan of Sulu, who died suddenly November 20, they will be confronted for the second time within five months with the election of a new spiritual ruler. The out- come of that election may determine peace or war in Moroland. The dead ruler left a son, Ismael, but Moro law does not recognize him as the successor, because Sultan Wasit was not yet crowned when he passed to the Moslem paradise. How- ever, friends of the late sultan, led by his grand vizier, Hadji Butu, are determined to place him on the throne. Main obstacle to the elevation of Ismael is Princess Hadji Dayang Dayang Piandao, adopted daughter of His Highness Padukka Mahasari Ma- nulana Hadji Mohammad Jamalulu Kiram II, brother and predecessor of Sultan Wasit. Although most Moros recognized Wasit as their spiritual | ruler, Princess Dayang Dayang refused | to do so. She wanted the high office for herself, or her husband at least. Datus Meet Next Week. Wasit's followers succeeded in oust- ing her from the ramshackle palace at | Maimbung, Jolo Island, where next week datus, or tribal chiefs, will meet again to choose & new sultan. Trou- | ble in the Sulu archipelago ‘tarted | brewing last month when she launched | an intensive campaign to depose | Wasit. Afraid that Dayang Dayang’s men might poison him or cut his throat, Wasit had his palace heavily guarded. Several armed thugs broke in one night to kill and rob him. “The attempt to kill me must be due to the fact that I am entitled to the biggest share in the will of the late sultan,” declared Wasit shortly before his death. “The will of the late sultan will be probated soon and | I opposed Dayang Dayang's appoint- ment as administratrix of his prop- | erty.” | A Philippine government judge ap- | pointed Dayang Dayang administra- trix of the estate of Jamalul II, who | |died last June. As a good friend of Manila officials and also of Aurora Aragon Quezon, wife of the President of the Philippines, Dayang Dayang | apparently had the support of the | Philippine commonwealth. However, | the national government would not | dare to recognize her claim to the | throne because of the popularity of Wasit and his grand vizier, a famed Moro patriarch.

BY the Associated Press. BOSTON, November 28.—The 36- year-old battle between the three men and three women directors for control of the $3,000,000 patent medicine busi- ness founded by Lydia Pinkham went to Superior Court tonight with & mas- ter's declaration that the women have tried to force out the men. In a 14,000-word report on the facts at issue, Master Charles F. Lovejoy found that Miss Lydia Pinkham Gove, granddaughier of the founder, assisc- ant treasurer of the concern, and spokesman for the women, entertained a desire to acquire all or some of the Pinkham stqck “and so gain control of the corporation.” . Grandsons on Other Side. ‘The Pinkhams, Arthur W., 59-year- old Lynn banker and president of the company, and his brothers, Charles | and Daniel, are the male directors. All | are grandsons of the original Lyaia | Pinkham and for years all have been embroiled with their female co-direc- | tors in a dispute which originally con- cerned the amount of money to be spent on advertising. Because each faction controlled the same number of shares of stock, | neither could gain the upper hand. | Because the women refused to at- tend the directors’ meeting, the Pink- hams appealed to the courts to compel them to do so and Lovejoy was ordered last Spring to determine the facts in dispute. The women insisted on spending, over objections of the Pinkhams, greater sums upon advertising in pro- portion to the current gross'sales than the company has previously spent, Lovejoy found. Cites Advertising Figures. He cited figures to show that the average which the percentage of ad- vertising bore to the gross sales of the year was 486 per cent fram 1908 through 1929, when the company made large profits. In 1930, the percentage of advertising to gross sales amounted to 85 and the company lost money for the first time. This money was spent at the Goves' insistence and for the sole reason of forcing out the Pinkhams, the master found. Referring to a petition for receiver- ship which the Goves brought iast February in Maine, where the com- pany is incorporated, the master found that the immediate cause of the pe- tition was “the refusal by the Pink- hams of the Gove offer to purchase their stock.
