CAMPBELL REFUSES VAST FARM EMPIRE American Scorns Control of 15,000,000 Acres in Russia London, Feb. 15 P — Having turned down an offer to become a sort of agricultural dictator in Soviet Russia for five years, T. D. Camp- bell, wheat grower from Montana, arrived in London today en route home. He had visited Russia on the invitation of the Soviet government to give advice on agricultural prob- lems. He described the BSoviet offer as giving him virtually supreme con- trol of the government's 15,000,000 acres farm project besides which his own 95,000 acre holdings in the United States seemed like a little cow pasture. “Russia's scheme of state farm- ing is a tremendous project—as big as the plan for the Panama Canal appeared when it was first sug- gested—and it is by far the great- est thing ever contemplated in the history qf the world's agriculture,” Mr, Campbell told the Evening Standard. In Moscow he saw 5,000 young Russians being trained as tractor driveys and was informed that the Boviet project would provide work for 100,000 persons in the busy sea- son. Some individual farms in the vast scheme cover from 100,000 to 500,000 acres and within three years the Soviets plan to purchase $400,- 000,000 worth of agricultural and soad making machinery. “As a practical farmer accus- tomed to big undertakings I think the scheme is feasible,” he said. "It is the first real recognition of the advantages of industrial agriculture whicll must come in every country to solve the agricultural problem. The Montana man added that his own interests prevented him from accepting the Soviet, offer. SAY MRS. JACKSON LEFT TWO NOTES, (Continued from First Page.) onerated him from the slaying of his intimate friend, Jackson, so far as known, up till this noon. King. lowever, expected to see Rice dur- ing the day but before that, he ex- pected to obtain some definite in- | formation about the note from the | medical examiner. The funeral of Mrs. Jackson lmsi been delayed, the undertaker said this morning and he was unable to say when it would be held. It would be private, and burial would be in a grave beside that of her husband. A development of the note in- cident was that Dr. Mason said he had left with Coroner Bill the task of making public the exact wording of the note which he had taken from Mrs, Jackson's body. Iic told newspapermen that the note in- dicated that ) Jackson assumed full responsibility for the Kkilling of her husband, exonerating Rice and gave some Intimation of her reason for the act and the manner in which it was carried out. The medical ex- aminer, however, late last night said that what Mrs. Jackson did and the way she did it was a matter to be judged from the contents of the note. i The report as to the second note was that what Mrs. Jackson wrote to Rice to be given him by King was enclosed in the envelope which came from the stocking. Recall Gun Story In view of what Dr. Mason had said about the note, attention was directed today to reports current immeaiate after Jackson's body was found that he had been killed by a gun taken from a bureau drawer, which had been cleaned and re- turned to its place. Rice, who had been called to the house by Mrs, Jackson immediately after she had found her husband's body . on the floor, surrendered his own guns to Chief Investigator Hickey upon the latter's arrival in the house. The officers have refused any informa. tion about the weapon used, except that at first the bullet was said to be a .38 calibre one and an expert reported it was of .32 calibre. Rice remained a self-appointed guard at the house until the day after Jackson's funeral, Mrs. Jack- {sn and her daughter, Juanita, and Mrs. Ada Andrews also remained at the house. Note Still Suppressed The first note which was found on the body of Mrs. Jackson after its removal to an undertaker's from her home where she shot hersell Wednesday is in the possession of Coroner Arthur G. Bill who said he did not know when its contents would be made public, No reason for suppressing the note has been given, Defense attorneys said they were anxious to learn the contents of the note to aid them in their defense of Rice who has declared himself in- nocent. They declared they wouid ask to be shown the note and if re- fused probably would institute legal proceedings. The status of Rice, it was said, would meanwhile remain the same and his trial would go on next April. He is unmindful of the happenings which have taken place and docs not know of the suicide of his friend, Mrs, Jackson or her note ab- solving him of her hushand's death. Unlike the funeral of Detective Jackson which several thousand peo- ple attended, services for Mrs. Jack- son will be private. It was not an- nounced when the purial will be, but it is expected here sne oody will be in a grave next to her husband in the new Willimantic cemetery. Second Gun Draws Interest Another weapon in which the po- lice have an interest at this time s the caliber 1lobeyt riflc which Mrs. Jackson used in ending her life. 1t is understood that statements have becn been made by those fa- miliar with the Jackson home that the rifle had always been unloaded while it was in the house. The mis- | sile which killed Mrs, Jackson was a long slug, and search in the house has failed to reveal any cartridge which would fit the rifle. Juanita Jackson, who remains at home, was said to be calmer today than yesterday when her condition was sald to have becn bordering up- on the hysterical. No information has been given out as to what was done or said by Coroner Bill, Detec- tive Hickey and Officer Arthur Hur- ley during their visit to the Jackson home_yesterday. Coroner Bill was in Danielson today. He was questioned | by telephone from here by newspa- permen as to the note which Dr. Mason described, but would not make any comment. We recommend the purchase of Aetna Life Insurance Co. At police headquarters today there seemed to be unusual activity. Of- ficers came and went but there was no explanation of the meaning of what seemed to be “in the air.” WANT PRESIDENT'S NAME FOR HIGHWAY Brady Avenue Resideats Pefition for Distinctive Locality 1 For the purpose of creating a “Presidential Section” to be referred to as such when dirécting strangers, property owners of Brady avenus has petitioned the common council to change the name of that thor- oughfare to Tyler street, Their pe- tition reads: “The undersigned beg lcave to pe- tition your honorable body to change the name from Brady avenue t6 Tyler atreet, as all other atreets in our locality are named aftér presidents.

FERN'S MEDICINE 15 P— | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1929. Freshman Curriculym Changes Made at Yale New Haven, Feb. 15 UPM—Changes in the freshman curriculum at Yalc effective mext fall, were outlined to- day by Percy T. Walden, dean of the freshman class. Chief of these would be elimination of restrictions under which a freshman going to Sheft has to elect his eourses. Students entering Yale go into a common {reshman class, and they elect their future courses. The new plan to be tried would require a freshman going te the scientific school to take one of three classes of subjects offering mwodern lan- guages in place of required English and history. The greatest relief it is pointed out, will be to those who take the engineering courses. ‘Two modern languages may be learned while in Sheff and Latin and Greek become optional. 300 Women Attend Legislative Meeting Hartford, Feb. 15 P — Extreme interest was shown by women of the state: in the various proposed bills before the present legislature con- cerning child welfare, education, jury service for women, control of milk regulation in smaller towns, health measures and state forest and park improvements at the firat spe- cial legisiative meeting of the Con- necticut State Federation today at the Hartford Women's club, About 300 women are attending the ses- sion.

The fact that no increase was made in the rediscount rate encouraged Wall street to believe that none would be made in the near future. The re- serve system's determination to re- duce the supply of surplus credit ‘was apparent from its condition re- port, showing a reduction of ap- proximately $45,000,000 in its hold- ings of acceptances and government obligations. Iron ore shipments from Fake Erie ports to interior furnaces dur- ing the first 11 days of February totaled 124,867 tons against 140,268 in the corresponding 1928 period.

Mills there are reported o have sufficient tin plate business on their books to permit average production at 90 per cent of capacity. The Pennsylvania railroad system in the week ended February 9 han- dled 153,436 loaded cars. This com- pares with 149,958 in the preceding week and 142,589 in the correspond- ing 1928 week.

Considerable uneasi- ness was displayed by traders over the advance in bankers’ acceptance rates to above the rediscount rate and the long drawn out meeting of the federal reserve bank directors yesterday. Banks cafled $50,000,000 in, adding to the apprehension over the complex credit situation. Call money renewed at 6 1-2 per cent. but was expected to go higher.

Msin St—Tel. 836 Josph A. Haffey UIMAI\IK ‘Womnien who have come in contact with European influences are said EARLY ADVANCE N STOCKS SOON £0ST Prices Turn Reactiogary and Many Issues Slump New York, tightening of credit conditions, a: companied by the calling of $6: 000,090 in bank loans, turned the course of stock prices reactionary today after an opening bulge based on the retention of the 5 per cent rediscount rate by the New York Federal Reserve bank, and the de- cline of $101,000,000 in brokers’ loans. Early advances of 1 to € pointa were cut down, or wiped out, and a long list of issues sank 1 to 11 points below yesterday's final quotations. For the second time this week, the rate on bankers' acceptances was advanced, presumably in re- fection of the sharp drop in the bill and security holdings of the federai reserve banks. Time money also was firmer, some maturities being raised from 7 1.2 to 7 3.4 per cent. Call { money renewed at 6 1.2 per cent but advanced to 7 in the early aft- ernoon. Farly Short-Covering The early rise apparently was due to heavy short-covering, but leading commission houses continued to urge profit taking on the rallies in the belief that the federal reserve board means business and that fur- ther measures to restrict the volume of speculative credit will be taken unless there is a sharp reduction in brokers' borrowings. Heavy calling of loans was interpreted as an indl- cation that banks were cooperating in making the federal reserve policy effective. Resumption of dividends on Sin- clair Consolidated Oil corporation common stock, after a lapse of near- ly five years, was one of the most important business developments of the day. Trade news continued fav. orable, and the bulk of the earn- ings reports published made excel- lent comparison with the previous year's figures. United Electric Coal, which re- cently crossed 81 on pool manipula- tion, broke 11 points to a new low for the year at 56. Radio converted an early gain of ¢ points into & loss of 7 and Allled Chemical dropped 6 1-2 points below last night's close. Montgomery-Ward, General Electric, Johns Manville and American Rail- way Express sold 3 to 4 points un- der last night's closing quotations, and American & IForeign Power lost all of its early gain of 6 1-2 points. Union Tank Car, North American Co. and Marine preferred moved into new high ground in the carly outburst of strength. THE MARKLET AT 2:30 P.

He invented the Williams visible typewriter, which he manu- factured in Derby about 1894. He was also the inventor of what is said to have been the the first helicoptor, which he developed n company with Glenn Curtiss and Dr. Alexander Graham Bell at Ham- mondsport, Maine, about 1908. He was a breeder and trainer of racing horses in early life and drove on the grand circuit, where he was an asso- ciate of “Pop” Geers and “Bud” Do- of his resolution after the republi- can majority of the lands commit- tee had declined to accept it.
