Fairbanks, joining his wife in declaring there was no other woman, said he was setting out immediately to woo Miss Crawford the same as le did before she became his bride in 1929. He said he already had sent her flowers.

A total of $60,000 damages is sought by Dietz for the alleged love theft, and for alleged false impri sonment.

District Attorney Buron Fitts said today Fairbanks had made no request to his office for prosecution of Dietz, and that no action was plan ned at this time. Fairbanks alleged Dietz had tried to sell him a necklace for $6,000. threatening the suit in case he did not buy it. Fairbanks claimed the Jewelry was worth only $300.

I The body has been taken to his home in Elsmore where the funeral services will be held at two oclock on Monday. Frank Goyette was bom in Canada on the thirteenth of September.

1846. When five years of age the family came to the United States, locating at Kankakee. 111. The family was in limited circumstances and their children could have but meager educational privileges. but Frank Goyette was diligent and ambitious and.

by night study equipped himself with a fair, practical education. When 17 years of age. Mr. Goy-etto enlisted as a volunteer in Company O. 138th Illinois infantry, with which he served until the end of the Civil war.

Returning home, he worked on farm with his father for five years and then rented a tract of land on his own account. After five years more, in 1879. he came to Kansas, locating in Salem township, Allen county upon a farm which he bought from the railroad. Having by successful farming operations and shrewd business management acquired considerable capital he removed to the town of Elsmore in the spring of 1900 where he became one of the leading stockholders in the Elsmore bank, of which he was made cashier. He held that position a great many years until unfavorable economic conditions forced the bonk to close.

Six Children Born. Mr. Goyette was married March 29. 1883. to Miss Minnie Bo man and six children were born to them, of whom the following survive: Fred-and Clarence, or Elsmore: D.

He had innumerable friends who will grieve to learn of the tragedy which cut short his active and useful life. Eyesight a Cause. Concerning the accident which resulted in Mr.

Goyettes death, little is to be added to the report which was carried in yesterdays Register. In spite of his advanced age and of the fact that his eyesight was extremely defective, Mr. Goyette. with characteristic spirit, insisted upon driving his own car when business called him to Iola and when it was not convenient for anyone else to go with him. It was probably because of his defective eyesight that he lost control of the car when driving at a rather high rate of speed, with the result that it left the slab and struck a driveway leading into a farm home.

The car was, thoroughly demolished and Mr. Goyette suffered a fractured skull that resulted a few hours later in his death. TAX COLLECTIONS GROWING THREE METHODS OF FARM RELIEF MAY BE UTILIZED Farm Leader Explains the Practical Operation of New Farm Bill protecFconsumers Secretary to Keep Cost of Food Down Despite Processing Levy (Editors Note: The follow ing explanation of the practical operation of the Roosevelt farm bill was written for the Associated Press by W. R. Ronald, chairman of the committee of farm organization leaders who presented the proposal to the president.

Mr. Ronald is publisher of the Mitchell, S. Evening Republican.) By W. R. Ronald.

Washington, Mar. 18. (AP) What the administration farm bill means to the fanner is that the secretary of agriculture can proceed by any one of several methods to bring prices of farm products back to prewar exchange value. While that means such prices as 95 cents for wheat, $7.50 for hogs and 12 cents for cotton, it also is true that the consumer will have -constant consideration in order that these price advances will not be made in such a way as to burden' the buyer of foodstuffs. While this flexible plan of dealing with the complex problem of elevating prices of various commodities in accordance with their peculiarities appears to contemplate all sorts of methods, the probability is that the secretary of agriculture will proceed for the most part along one of the three following lines: First Marketing agreements with processors and distributors.

Second Compensation to fanners reducing production, such compensation to be financed by a tax on processing. Third The Smith option plan to help cotton prices by reducing acreage- Agreements Coming First. Since the secretary has already announced that he would call In representatives of both producers and processors of any commdity before determining upon any plan as to such commodity, it is probable that the possibilities of marketing agreements will be given first consideration. In the case of dairy products, for example, that might provide some orderly handling of storage so as to stabilize prices. Representatives of the meat packers have indicated their readiness to cooperate in some kind of agreement, under which perhaps the processing tax would be applicable only If the minimum price is not paid.

An automatic restriction of production could be tied in with such an agreement as, for example, by naming a maximum weight of hogs to which the price would apply. As to crops, particularly wheat, the second method of procedure is altogether likely. Principles of the original allotment plan would be employed to apportion returns from a tax on milling, but the division would be called a rental Instead of an allotment. Production the Basts. Past production would be JLhe basis upon which the apportionment would be made first to states, then to counties and then to farms.

In order to restore full pre-war exchange value to wheat, a tax of probably 60 cents per bushel would be collected on all domestic consumption. If a farmers share of this domestic consumption Is ljOOO bushels, then he would receive $600 as rental for any portion of land diverted from the production of wheat. It would be effective in reducing acreage because the nonparticipant would receive only tha open market price and therefore would not have any inducement to increase his acreage. By some such device as basing any program of acreage reduction on yield, the percentage of low-yielding marginal land retired from production would be greater than that in the more fertile regions. Option Plan on Cotton.

As to cotton, it is virtually understood that for this year the Smith option plan would be employed. Planters would be given options on future delivery of cotton in consideration of a reduction in acreage, the theory being that the resulting increase in price would materially Increase their total return. from their 1933 crop. These are but illustrations of tha various ways by which the secretary could administer this flexible plan. Its great advantage over a pre-de-termined formula frozen into legislation is that the secretary could work out all details by means of regulations.

Thus the application could be specifically adapted to each of the various farm products. If any provision is found to be unsatisfactory, it can be changed. As one member of congress put "If the administration cannot make the plan work with such a wide latitude of operation, it cannot have an alibi. Bank Messenger Robbed. Kansas City, March -18.

FARM GROUPS ASK CONGRESS TO ACT QUICKLY Six National Organizations Urge Speedy Approval of Aid Bill COMIVllfTEFMEETING No Official ActioaCan Be Taken, However, Until Introduced Washington, Mar. 18. (AP).

Speedy approval of the admlnistra tions farm relief measure was advocated today by six national farm organizations In a letter sent to all members of congress. The communication, received on capital hill as the house agriculture committee went into session to study the emergency measure, said: The very important emergency legislation enacted by the special session of the Seventy-third Congress has not dealt with the funda mental question of economic reconstruction. It has improved confi dence in banking and anticipates economy in governmental costs. "As a part of the constructive program for economic rehabilitation, the President, lay a special message to congress, has designated agricultural relief as the first prerequisite thereto. "The bill now before congress bears the support of the President and farm organizations.

Hope for Prompt Support "We hope that the unanimity of the nations executive branch and of farm organizations will encourage your prompt and effective support of the present bill for agricultural relief It was signed by E. A. ONeal, of the American Farm Bureau federation; L. J. Taber, for the National Grange; C.

E. Huff, Fanners National Grain corporation; C. G. Henry, American Cotton Co-operative association; Charles E. Ewing, National Livestock Marketing association, and Ralph Snyder, National committee of farm organizations.

As the house agriculture committees 25 members gathered in the locked committee chambers to go over the new bill section by section. Chairman Jones said no official vote on the measure might be "sounded out. "The bill has not yet been formally introduced in the house, Jones said, "so we could not act on it officially. But there may be some expression of committee sentiment. Most of yesterdays session, which lasted until after 5 oclock, was devoted to hearing experts explain the measure and the way it is intended to operate.

But today the committee members carried on the discussion themselves. Because of the huge Democratic majority in the house, there are Democrats and 8 Republicans on the committee. A move has started in the house to increase the number of commodities covered in the bill. From North Carolina and Virginia has come strong pressure to include peanuts, In other sections there is some dis? cussion of wool. The commodities named in the bill as "basic agricultural commodities are wheat, cotton, corn, hogs, cattle, sheep, rice, tobacco and milk.

Meanwhile a new farm plan, calling for creation of a general banking system exclusively for the benefit of farmers, was advanced while the house agricultural committee, undertook its searching study of the agricultural relief bilL The new plan was advanced by Senator Smith S. chairman of the senate agricultural committee. He told newspapermen he would introduce a bill to create the proposed system as quickly as possible. His announcement followed a conference with Secretary Wallace of the agricultural department and Henry Morgenthau chairman of the farm board. At the same time Senator Nye, (R N.

after a talk with President Roosevelt, predicted there would be an administration plan soon for refinancing agriculture and small home owners. Looking ahead. I am thoroughly convinced. said Senator Nye, that the president is preparing a broad program for refinancing of agriculture and the small home owners. This will be proposed before congress quits.

Tire president revealed his plans to some extent to me but I do not feel at liberty to discuss them publicly. I am highly elated at what is in -prospect. Endorsing the pending agricultural bill the North Dakota senator said he believed it would win early congressional approval. Meanwhile, Representative Byms, house majority leader, told newspapermen the farm bill would pass the house, substantially unchanged, next week. The agriculture committee expects to report it by Tuesday.

As that committee met this morning, it received a new plea for approval of the bill, signed by the heads of six national farm organizations. PILOT IN MURDER, SUICIDE World War Veteran Slays Woman in Love Tangle. Spokane, Waslu, Mar. 18. (AP) Clarence E.

Oyler One of Five Probing at Commissioners Own Request P. S. C. INTO HISTORY New Corporation Commission Includes Hoch and Greenleaf Topeka. March 18.

(AP) A senate investigation into accounts and records of Thurman Hill, member of the abolished public service com mission, was under way today after the commissioner had demanded the inquiry. The five-member committee named to conduct the Investigation, held its first meeting, an executive session. last night, and planned further closed meetings today in or-er to assemble records and Information. Senator McDonald (D) of Kansas City, chairman of the commit tee. said today the group would continue its work of gathering Information over the week-end but that there would be no public hearings until next week.

He also said he doubted if the committee would be able to do much with the inquiry until after adjournment of the legislature next Tuesday night and expressed opinion the investiga tion might require two weeks. If possible, however, he said, we will complete the work before the legislature adjourns. The investigating committee, appointed by Lieutenant-Governor Thompson after the senate had adopted a resolution calling for an investigation into accounts and records of Hill and into expenditures from a $100,000 fund appropriated to the commission in 1931 for rate investigations, is as follows; Oyler on Committee. Senators McDonald (D) of Kansas City, chairman; Bradney (R) of Columbus; Schoen (R) of Downs; Oyler (D) of Iola, and Baird (R) of Leroy. The first three named were authors of the investigation resolution, which the senate considered earlier in the week but put aside until yesterday when Senator-Harry Warren (D) of Fort Scott had read into the record a letter from Hill in which the latter demanded "an im partial Investigation and requested the senate to adopt the resolution as introduced.

The resolution then was adopted without a voice being raised in dissent. Hill and McDonald, both Democrats, have exchanged charges. McDonald, on the senate floor, declared Hill had accepted money from the American Petroleum Institute. Hill, in a statement, denied he had received any compensation, except approximately $2,500 in expense money for attendance, over a period of 15 months, at meetings of the oil states advisory committee of which he is an officer, and said McDonald was bitter because he had failed to be chosen for accounting work in the gas rate investigation. A Deliberate Lie.

From the senate floor McDonald denied he had sought to do the accounting work, terming Hills charge a deliberate lie, and asserted he had records to prove Hill has received $2,300 in expense money from the Petroleum Institute. In the letter read Into the record yesterday. Hill said "the most cowardly thing a person can do is to assassinate another mans character without giving the party charged an opportunity to defend his name. McDonald said last night Hill would have opportunity to appear before the committee. Topeka, Mar.

The efforts of Douglas Fairbanks, to say it with flowers brought no encouraging response today from his estranged wife, Joan Crawford. The actress announced last night, slightly more than 24 hours after Fairbanks had been made defendant in a love theft suit, that she had separated from her actor husband. Miss Crawford, however, denied young Fairbanks legal trouble had entered into the separation, and said divorce proceedings were not contemplated. It is merely a case of two people being unable to get along together she said. It is the only brave thing for us to do.

When two people are unable tqret along the right thing to do is to part. I want it definitely understood these damage suits have nothing to do with it. The charges are utterly ridiculous, and if it comes to a point HITLER MAKING IRON FIST FELT Exodus of Jews and Other Opponents Marked in Germany Now New York. Mar. 18.

(AP) The reawakening of Germany, as Adolf Hitler calls it. is taking effect much more swiftly and with more far-reaching effects than the similar undertaking of Benito Mussolini in Italy a decade ago. It was nearly two years after Mussolini came into poorer that Matteotti. his Socialist foe, was silenced, and another year before the opposition in the press and parlia ment was entirely subdued. Next Tuesday, Germany's parlia ment is expected to become indefinitely extinct whereas Italys still exists.

Less than three months after Hitler's ascension, the leftist press of Germany has been silenced and rigor mortis already Is setting in for centrist organs. The German emigration resulting from the strafing the Socialists, Communists and Jews are getting from Hitlers brown shirts certainly is heavy, thousands having fled to surrounding countries. The new diaspora of Jews is the most remarkable phenomena of this general flight. It is from the country where Jewish Liberalism saw its birth and where nearly 600,000 Jews represent the largest population of the race in any European nation outside of Russia and Poland. No single development has brought this more sharply to the at tention of the world than the decis ion of Albert Einstein, famous physicist.

to live elsewhere while Hitler rides the saddle. Einstein is sailing from New York today to establish a residence in exile in Antwerp. Jewish and socialist doctors are banned from Berlin hospitals, the same undesirable elements are being excluded from the stock exchange, and action has begun to bar them from the practice of law. Jewish educators, many of them with reputations, are being put out of the schools. Dr.

Lion Feuchtwanger, the novelist, has turned up in Switzerland which also harbors Otto Braun, the deposed Prussian socialist premier. Other Jews who hare forsaken Ger-many include Theodore Wolff, the editor; George Tietz, the Berlin merchant, and Frof. George Bernard, Bruno Walter, noted orchestra conductor, returned home from the United States to be banned from concert halls. In the election two weeks ago, so cialists and communists cast 12 mil lion of the 40 million votes. Their leaders, who seek havens elsewhere, will undoubtedly prove a thorn in the sides of the Hitlerites, and the day may be here soon when Hitlers envoys travel abroad with heavy bodyguards.

If the history of the past diasporas is repeated, there will be none of this activity for the Jews. They probably will merely settle down elsewhere, as they have done so often before, and never seek to re turn. emNESE KILL JAP PATROL. Entire Unit Slain by Superior Force News Agency Says.

WORLD FACING A GRAVE PROBLEM MacDonald Feels Hopeful However, Upon Arrival in Italy Ostia. Italy, Mar. 18, (AP) Peace must be organized quickly if it is organized at all, said Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald of Great Britain here today while en route to Rome for conferences with Premier Mussolini. He made the statement shortly after he alighted from a plane piloted by General Italo Balbo, Italian air minister, which had brought him and his party from Genoa. They went to the latter place by train from Geneva, where the British premier and his foreign secretary.

Sir John Simon, went last week to break a deadlock in the world disarma ment conference. Mr. Mac Donald was welcomed here by the Italian premier. Mr. Mac Donald said: It is to exchange views with Italys famous chief on intricate problems concerned with the organization of peace that I am 'here and I have come with much confidence as to the effect of my visit.

"I am impressed with the diffi culties confronting us but believe that with vigorous cooperation, especially among the great nations of the world, we shall find a way out of our difficulty, both political and economic, and shall make the world a safe and pleasant place for this and future generations. We have no time to waste, how ever. He continued, My visit to Geneva and my contacts there with representatives of countries in ail parts of the world have impressed me more than ever with the gravity of the problems which confront us. Sir John Simon and I welcome this opportunity for a preliminary exchange of views regarding these problems with Signor Mussolini. His invitation came at a timely mo ment, and we were delighted to accept.

II Duce, dressed in a frock coat, held out both hands to Mr. Mac Donald and said in English, I am glad to welcome you. Behind the British premier came his daughter, Ishbel, who was presented with a huge bouquet. Then followed Sir John. Mr.

Mac Donald entered the automobile of Sir Ronald Graham, British ambassador, and was driven to the British embassy in Rome.

S. with 19 Million Paris, Mar. 18. (AP) Payment of 19 million interest on war debts to the United States which was defaulted by France last December 15, Itas. brought officially before the chamber of 'deputies today in a resolution presented by Rene Richard, a radical Socialist deputy.

The present attitude of the government was still doubtful. Friends of Premier Edouard Dala-dier said he was not convinced as to the wisdom of payment, but many deputies thought the premier would soon realize that a majority favored it and that he would swing into line. Former Premier Herriot, whose government fell upon the issue of the Interest payment last December, has been leading a movement for the payment, supported by former Premier Painleve and others. The movement has had the tacit encouragement of the government. The resolution as presented by M.

Richard read: The chamber invites the government to place at the disposal of the government of the United States of America a credit of 19 million dollars, the amount of the deferred payment due the 15th of December, 1932. M. Herriot wrote today In a Lyons newspaper, we must pay." Both M. Richard and M. Herriot advocated payment as a gesture because America is in trouble.

The latter added that the United States must be propitiated because its aid is essential to French security. He added that the chamber should regard "conciliatory declarations of President Roosevelt as meeting its reservations. The resolution will go to the foreign affairs committee, of which M. Herriot is chairman and -which he dominates, and to the finance committee, whose chairman, Louis-Jean Malvy, opposes payment. Debate in the chamber is not likely for a week.
