Gann WASHINGTON, April 8-(AP)-The diplomatic corps at a meeting at the British embassy tonight agreed that Bir Esme Howard, the British amand dean of the corps, immediately should ask the State Department for a definite ruling on the social status of Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, sister of Vice-President Curtis. The diplomatic representatives were called together by the British ambassador. The discussion over what action should be taken lasted nearly two hours. The corps decided that since Vice- President Curtis had protested to the State Department against a ruling by former Secretary Gellogg placing Mrs.

Gann at social functions after the wives of the heads of the foreign missions, that it be to have Mrs. Gann's status definitely established by Secretary of State Stimson. It was pointed out that a large number of outstanding social functions are expected before the vacation season starts and that a ruling by Secretary Stimson would eliminate the possibility of hostesses offending either the VicePresident's party, or foreign diplomats whom they entertain.

Pic sciatic rheumatic pains, Sold by all druggists in 10c and quiets the nerves and leaves Supreme Court Rules Against Interborough Fare Increase Majority of Divided Tribunal Prohibits Raise From 5 to 7 Cents in Rapid Transit Company Rate WASHINGTON, ruled April today 8. that the Interborough Rapid Transit Company WAS without authority to raise from to 7 cents the fare on New York City's subway and elevated trains and held that the question properly was for the consideration of the State courts. In a 6-to-3 decision the view of the highest court, expressed by Justice McReynolds, was that the Federal court which prohibited the State Transit Commission from interfering with the 7-cent fare schedule had acted beyond its "proper Justices Van Devanter. Sutherland and Butler noted dissents from the majority view.

The court room was jammed to capacity as the Tennessean, fourth in point of service on the bench, slowly read the opinion just betore the afternoon recess at 2 o'clock. The majority decision said that "the transit commission has long held the view that it lacks the power to change the 5-cent rate' established by contract, and it intended to test this point of law by an immediate orderly appeal to the courts of the State." "This purpose," it was added, "should not be thwarted by an injunction." The right of the city to enter into the contracts for the operation of the subways, which it owns, was upheld, More Plants Idle as Textile Workers Strike Negotiations Are Under Way in Greenville Area; Warrants in Tennessee CHARLOTTE, N. April 8-(P)- Walkouts of employees of two more cotton mills and notice by third that the so-called efficiency system had been abolished on vote of the employees were the developments today in the textile strike situation in the Carolinas. The two new strikes--one at Pineville, N. and the other at Lexi.

J- ton--were orderly and there were no disturbances at any of the other mills where strikes have been on for a week or more. The American Spinning Company, Greenville, owned by Catlin New England concern, announced today that the efficiency system had been abandoned there. It was announced that the 900 employees of the plant had voted to return to the old method of operation and the old wage scale. D. D.

Little, of Spartanburg, is general manager for the mill. Two More Walkouts. The walkout at Pineville was the second to be called by the National Textile Union, which one week ago called a strike of employees of the Loray mill Manville-Jenckes Company, at Gastonia. The Pineville walkout was at the Watt No. 5, the Chadwick-Hoskins chain.

About 100 operatives were reported involved. The mill management claimed that most of the operatives had returned to the mill before noon. The strike of from sixty to 100 operatives at the Wennemah cotton mill at Lexington was due to a wage cut. The company had scheduled a wage reduction for today and leaders of the operatives said 100 had remained away from work. Executives of the mill placed the number at sixty.

Negotiations Underway. Negotiations looking to possible ending of the strikes at Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg and Union in South Carolina, where employees are protesting introduction of an efficiency system, were continued with United States Labor Department conciliators taking the lead. Statements credited to Fred Erwin Beal, organizer for the National Textile Union and other leaders in the Loray and Pineville mill strikes, that operatives at the High Shoals plant of the Manville-Jenckes Company and some Charlotte mills would walk out today, failed to materialize. cases were cited on this point. These cases, it was said, "point out that the subject of those contracts 5 1 to secure the operation of railways properly declared by statute to be parts of the public streets and highways and the absolute property of the city." The assertion by Charles Evans Hughes, chief counsel for company, during argument of the case several months ago, that the 5-cent fare was "confiscatory" was disputed by the court, which found that the company had not justified this declaration nor the statement that the Ligher fare requested was reasonable.

"The claim for an 8 per cent return upon the value of the subways which are the property of the city and distinctly declared by statute to be public streets is unprecedented," the opinion said, "and ought not to be accepted without more cogent support than the present record A lengthy explanation of the case set forth the circumstances under which the Interborough had succeeded in obtaining a prohibition on the Transit Commission from interference with its higher tariff schedule, and the opinion found this recourse to the Federal Court unjustified. Unusual Plan Is Offered for Farm Relief Lankford Would Establish Government Canneries, Central Storage Houses WASHINGTON, April 8-A farm relief plan which would establish government canneries and central storage houses to aid Virginia produce growers will be presented to Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde Wednesday when Representative Menalcus Lankford, of Norfolk, leads a delegation of his fellow townsmen to a conference with the secretary. "This would offer a real solution, I believe," said Mr. Lankford today, "to the problem of disposing of the surplus from Virginia farms.

Since the chief object of the special session of Congress is to provide some means of handling farm surpluses, I think a this is a highly worthy plan to present at this time. This plan would keep Virginia money back home where it belongs. It would eliminate the chances of loss for truck farmers through dishonest dealing by commission merchants, would cut the heavy freight charges now necessary to reach the markets, and would give an effective means of handling the surplus crops of the State. While I am opin the form of loans or otherwise, a and posed to giving the farmer subsidies thus encouraging him to produce a further surplus, I am in favor of any plan which will enable him to diversity his crops and at the same time assure him a completely fair deal in the disof posal of his product. The plan we propose would enable the farmer to pick his spinach, celery, fruit, at the proper time, send to the gOVernment operated or controlled canneries and sell it there.

It could then be canned and sold or held in the central storage plant and the sale would be direct to buyer. a "Thus the most serious danger the truck farmer faces would be greatly reduced. As it is now, the condition of the market may be such that Virginia farmers are forced to gather their crops and sell them in a glutted market because the crops will rot in. the field unless they take whatever price they can get." Two Main Ideas. This could be done either directly by government regulation, or through a program of education directed by the Department of Agriculture.

In conclusion, the Norfolk member, who has just arrived for his duties during the special session, said that he favors the Borah-Summers bill for licensing of all commission merchants and imposing heavy penalties for illegitimate dealing. Legal Battle Looms Over Will Of Princess Leaving 2 Million Universal LONDON, April 8-Gilbert F. Kennedy, an American lawyer in Newcourt, Middle Temple, today admitted he was surprised to read obscure paragraphs in a London newspaper, quoting New York sources as saying the will of the late Clara Princess HatzfeldtWilderburg, has been filed for probate in New York. Representing contesting heirs in California whose names he declined to reveal, Kennedy filed a "caveat" against the will here some months ago which would prevent the probating of the will in London until the contestants could enter claims. From other sources, it was learned that a sensational contest against the Princess Hatzfeldt-Wilderburg's will will brought by prominent Californians claiming near-relationship to the late multimillionairess, whose entertaining at Draycott House, near Chippenham, Wiltshire, was the talk of London during the reign of King Edward, VII.

The princess died in a hotel in Berkeley, December 17. following a brief illness of bronchitis, and at the time of her death was attended only by a professional companion. It is understood that after her husband's death, she took steps to regain her American citizenship. Hence, the Union Trust Company, of New York, appointed trustee and executor, offers the will for probate in America instead of England. If a fight for the rumored $2,000,000 estate ensues, it will be a repetition of the famous suit the princess herself brought at the time of the death of her uncle, Collis P.

Huntington, Southern Pacific Railroad magnate, who had adopted Clara when she was a child. It is said she recovered a large sum after the costly legal battle. As far as known in London, the princess died without direct heirs. Unfair to Marines to Keep Them In Nicaragua, Wheeler Asserts NEW YORK, April 8- Burton K. Wheeler, of Montana, returned today from a visit to the American marines in Nicaragua, still believing.

he declared. that the United States government "had no business sending them down Accompanied by Mrs. Wheeler and Ray Hart and B. R. Alvin, two Montana business men, he went there he said, to visit the marines and to study the proposed Nicaraguan Canal.

"I still believe," he said, "that we had no business sending our marines into Nicaragua. It 'is the most Godforsaken place I have ever visited, and, a far as I am concerned, the life of a single American marine is worth the whole of that country. "It is costing us $250.000 A month to keep them there, in a country of less than 600,000 people. Naturally the Americans there and the natives wand the marines to stay--there presence "MARRYING JUDGE" When Judge C. G.

Pleasants, of Petersburg, is not engaged in "filling" on the bench, acting clerk in Judge Clement's court, coroner, writing warrants and caring for other legal duties, he has other duties to perform, but despite these he is never so busy that he does not respond to the appeal to oblige the couple which has answered Cupid's call. The judge was the only Democratic magistrate in the State in the Readjuster days. He is 66 years of age. Posses Hunting Negro Charged With Slaying Sheriff and Dinwiddie County Citizens Searching Woods Near Dewitt PETERSBURG, April 8-Three posses of Dinwiddie County citizens, led by Sheriff Boisseau and deputies, were said this afternoon to be closing in on a strip of woods near Dewitt, where the Negro charged with the murder of J. H.

Bryant, was believed to be hiding. Sheriff Boisseau this morning received a call from Dewitt citizens that two Negroes, one of them answering the description of Bryant's a assailant, were seen in the vicinity. He immediately started for Dewitt, after sending out a call for aid to other sections of the county. The posses are heavily armed. Bryant, who was 63 years old and lived alone, had employed the Negro, a stranger, on Thursday to help him clean up around his filling station.

Later that night the Negro returned, struck him over head the with a heavy club, and robbed him of $40. Bryant remained unconscious in the hospital here until his death yesterday morning. Present Cotton Future Trading Given Approval' Atlantic Cotton Body Is Studying Situation at Its Virginia Beach Sessions NORFOLK, April 8-Additional legislation to control future in cotton is noi necessary at this time in the opinion of members of the Atlantic Cotton Association, who today adopted A resolution embodying that relief, but at the same time expressing their willingness to co-operate in framing any legislation that might be deemed necessary by Congress. The resolution was contained in the report of the future contracts committee, of which B. T.

Lowe, of Augusta, is chairman, and was submitted at the opening business session of the sixth annual convention of the association, which convened at the Cavalier Fiotel, Virginia Beach, this morning. The address of Richard T.

Mr.

Harriss expressed the belief that the new contract, which recently was adopted and will go into effect October of this year, will prove beneficial to shippers, merchants and manufacturers alike. "And, if later on, deliveries at New York should be placed on equal terms with deliveries at Southern ports," he said, "I believe the New oYrk contract will constitute as nearly a perfect hedge as can be devised for a further contract." The session, except for the address of Mr. Harriss and that of President J. S. Billings, of Albany, Ga, was taken up largely in hearing routine reports.

D. R. Coker, of Hartsville, S. chairman of the committee on cotton production, urged the association to encourage the farmers to use better seed and thus to get better cotton. L.

Brown McCoy, of Charlotte, N. submitted the report of the tare committee. which was purely of a technical nature. F. J.

Riordan, of Greenville, S. submitted the report of the committee on clearing house for rejection and B. T.

Caesar Is Dead and College Is Thrown Into Deep Gloom Negro Waiter and Office Boy Had Been in Hollins Since "Fus Year That Lee" Surrendered to The HOLLINS, April 8-Caesar dead. Caesar Morton, well beloved colored man, has been connected with the oldest college for women the oldest State since 1865, or as expressed it, "ever since de fus' year Lee surrendered." Wherever and whenever Hollins people meet Hollins Alumnae and even casual visitors, the question usually comes and comes quickly: "And how is Caesar?" The secret of his amazing popularity was his abounding interest in other people.

his unfailing good humor and his own -his very quaint and penetrating ways of expressing himself. William Jennings Bryan was frequently a visitor at Hollins College when his daughter, Miss Grace Bryan, was a student here. On his first visit Caesar waited on Mr. Bryan in the dining-room. As the party was leaving the room, Caesar joined it and followed Mr.

Bryan to the front porch and said: "Mr. Lucian, introduce me to Mr. Bryan." That was quickly and cordially done, and a short conversation followed. Mr. Bryan graciously chatted with Caesar, laughed heartily at some of his "wise cracks" and said, "Good-by." But it was not good-by yet for Caesar, holding the then candidate's hand and with an irresistible chuckle said: "Ah-I show is glad I's done shuck han's with one President." He Springs French.

For many Caesar was a waiter, for many years the head waiter in the college dinin-room. He had picked up a few French expressions, which somehow always seemed to fit, and he delighted in springing them on the guests at the table. Looking quite serious and solemn, just as if it were his own language, he would say: "Miss, shav lait or l'eau?" When the guest had sufficiently recovered to a answer in English, Caesar would say, "tres bien" and go chuckling to the kitchen. In later years he was retired from active service and rather promoted to the position of "office boy" in the business offices. He was in fact the host in the business office-and anybody was overlooked though everybody was looked over by him.

There was in the office some years ago a girl who did some of the clerical work, worked at times on the switchboard. etc. She was limited in experience and in background, and none knew that better than Caesar. One morning Caesar was to deliver a message to the librarian. As he started out the girl referred to said: "Caesar, ask Miss Marian to send me a book." There was something in her tone that Caesar did not like, but he delivered the message promptly.

The librarian said: a "All right, Caesar, what book would you suggest?" And quick AS a flash came back the answer: "Send her de Pilgrims Prograss." Quick at Repartee. An old Hollins girl returned to Hollins after a lapse of years. She. of course, chatted Caesar, teased him a Bomb Found Sent to Be Roosevelt Harmless NEW YORK, April 8-(P)--A bomb mailed to Governor Franklin Roosevelt at Albany turned out today to be constructed something after the manchild's Jack-in-the-box, and to be just about as dangerous. The bomb itself was a four -inch length of one inch iron pipe, half filled with black powder, but securely sealed at both ends, indicating that the maker enjoyed complete ignorance of the ways combustibles.

The piper laid in tin box, in which a little more black powder was scattered, and three matches were attached in such a manner that opening the box would ignite them. If the package had gone undiscovered through the mails to the executive mansion, some secretary might have singed his eyebrows when the matches burned the loose powder, but there would have been no explosions. Th ill-made bomb was discovered yesterday in the main post-office by a porter who accidentally knocked the package with his broom. The jolt set off the matches, and some smoke curled through the wrapper. Drinks Hair Tonic Mrs.

Pinchot Takes Dose, Mistaking It for Medicine SAVANNAH, April 8-(P)-- Mrs. Pinchot, wife of the former Governor Pennsylvania, was treated at a private hospital here today for possible poisoning resulting from taking a dose of hair tonic by mistake for medicine, and continued on her way to Key West to join her husband on a scientific cruise through the South Seas. Mrs. Pinchot took the dose by mistake while aboard a southbound train. She said she discovered her mistake almost immediately, and wired the makers the hair tonic in New York for information on whether it contained any poisonous matter.

The answering telegram said it contained a small quantity, probably not enough to have ill effects if taken in small quantity. She alighted from the train here and went to a hospital operated by Dr. T. P. Waring, college classmate of her husband's.

Dr. Waring found no ill effects. Easy Rat Killing For a few cents you can now get from any druggist a large box of No. 9 envelopes. Just scatter these envelopes where rats run--they gnaw through the envelopes, eat the delicious contents and leave the house to die.

Caesar Morton was born about 1848. He died April 8, 1929. He was one of the three oldest colored men employed at Hollins College. Clem Bolden, who passed away in February, had worked at Hollins since 1867.
