(Associated Press Dispatch.)
■■ago, 111., Nov. 5.—Julius
II.
Chi
Karnes, former director general of the
United States Grain corporation, to-
day appeared before the marketing
committee of seventeen of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation, offering
opinions and suggestlohs on the sub-
ject of grain marketings, and outlin-
ing major influences on price fluctua-
tions on trading exchanges.
Mr. Barnes said that it was his
firm conviction that the present sys-
tem of grain marketing through open
exchanges, by maintaining a highly
competitive market at all times
worked to the advantage of both pro-
ducer and consumer, and that future
trading was beneficial in that It furn-
ished Insurance for traders against
destructive losses on commitments
which would of necessity bo taken in
wider margins of profits without ex-
change hedging.
Touching upon rccent declines In
wheat prices, which some agricultural
interests of the country have claimed
are unwarranted by the existing sup-
ply and demand. Mr. Barnes said that
the wheat producer had "escaped the
full effect of deflation," because of
tlin "cushion" found in future trading,
lie cited figures tending to show that
the decline in wheat from the peak
post war price to the 'current level has
boen only IS per cent against a de-
cline of 08 per ent In potatoes, for
which there is no exchange market.
Similar comparison reveal declines of
55 per cent In cotton, 4 7 per cent in
beans of 4G per cent in barley, the
statement raid.
Indication that the deflation is
world-wide in character and not con-
fined to American farm products
alone, Mr. Barnes said, was found in
the fact that imported farm commo-
dities such as sugar and coffee fell off
from 61 to 66 per cent during the
same period.
Hints at Monopoly.
In answer lo a question from a
member of the committee as to
whether it would be feasible for pro-
ducers to market their own crops, Mr.
Karnes said the present system main-
tained a lower trade toll between pro- ]
ducer and consumer than would be
possible in any system which elimi-
nated hedging- and that i l his opinion
any organization of farmers for price
fixing would not be decreed just by
the American public.
, Particular emphasis was given the
statement that co-operative efforts of
producers m local territories to elimi-
nate unfair practices where monopo-
lies existed were not t.> be confused
wlih a nation-wide marketing system
which would itself constitute a mo-
nopoly. The former, Mr. liar- es de-
clared. is to be encouraged, is sound
In economic principle and will suc-
ceed, while the latter is not sound in
that it seeks to establish market in-
fluences other than the fundamental
laws of supply and demand.
Questioned by the < or.mtttee as to
why co-operative selling organizations
were not permitted to hold member-
ship in grain exchanges, Mr. Hemes
said that while he was not familiar
with the rules of all exchanges, his
personal opinion was that to permit
co-operative agencies to hold mem-
bership would be unfair to commis-
si >n houses and other interests which
have established and maintained the
marketing system thus far. Huge in-
vetments in the maiketlng business by
private firms would be jeopardized Ly
the swing of business to the co-opera-
tive concerns, from which profi.)
would revert to farmers, he said.
Accurate Reports Needed.
First among constructive sugges-
tions submitted by Mr. Barnes was
that "exact and accurate information
on all ph ses th it effect marketing
and price, both nation and world-
wide, verified and endorsed by ai. or-
ganization in whose judgment the
producer has confidence," be . "ven
to farmers to aid them in determining
values.
Efforts to improve transportation
facilities,-and increase domestic con-
sumption were also mentioned as
means by which market conditions
might be aade more favorable for
the prod icer.
The disorganization of European fi-
nances to some degrc Is responsible
for the present tight export demand,
and this, in turn, is due to the "im-
possible atmosphere created for pri-
vate business by the world political
situation," Mr. Bar es declared, add-
ing that he believed that had the
I'nited Stales contributed ts efforts
to the readjustment of the world af-
fairs "long ago," American business
would not eb undergoing the "strain
which it is now experiencing."
Reports that Mr. Barnes is to head
a $60,000,000 corporation for export-
ing grain were flatly denied before
the committee.

11 FISTIC STIRS
DEMPSEY AND CARPENTIER PUT
UP FORFEITS IN WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIP.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
New York, Nov. 5.—Jack Dempsey
and Georges Carpentler signed a con-
tract here today to fight for the
world's heavyweight championship for
a half million dollar purse. The date
and place of the contest is not spe-
cifically stated in the agreement but
in other respects the contract is com-
plete and definite.
Dempsey is to receive $300,000 for
defending the title. Carpentler who
holds the European heavyweight
championship, will receive $200,000
as his share of the purse. Each fight-
er, in addition is to hold 25 per cent
of the moving picture corporation
stock, while the other 50 per cent
goes to the joint promoters, Tex Rick-
ard, Charles Cochran and William A.
Brady. The $500,000 purse is to be
deposited with a bank or trust com-
pany, located near the scene of the
? | battle, at least 24 hours previous to
the contest and will be divided be-
tween the principals immediately af-
ter the termination of the fight.
Each pugilist, through his manager,
must post a $50,000 forfeit on or he-
fore Nov. 20 to be divided equally
between his prospective opponent and
the promoters, if he fa Is to keep his
part of the contract. The promoters
also agreed to deposit $100,000 on or
before the same date to be divided
equally between the pugilists should |
the promoters fail to carry out their j
part of the contract.
The contract binds the men to meet
next March or between May 20 and
July 4 to decide the championship of
the world.
The agreement, which has 25
clauses, calls for a bout of from ten to
fifteen rounds to be fought in the
United States, Canada, Mexico or
Cuba, "where contests of the charac-
ter contemplated are permitted by
law."
W ith the signing of the formal con-
tract. Jack Kearns, as manager for
Dempsey, and Francis Reschamps,
acting for Carpent er, deposited $5tf,-
000 each as earnest of their Intention
to make good by producing their
principals'at the time and place which
shall later be definitely fixed.
While there is an apparent air of
mystery and uncertainty surrounding
the time <ind place of the battle, it is
generally accepted that unless there
is stern opposition from the New York
state boxing commission the bout will
be held in a special open air an na to
be erected within or very close to the
city limits of New York.
The date for such a contest will be
between the middle of Jtfne and the
4th of July. In case the bout cannot
be held in New York state, it proba-
bly will be shifted to New Jersey.
Cuba and Mexico and Canada are not
being considered.
The amount of the purse is so large
that it is Impossible to hold the bout
during the winter or spring months In
a permanent building or enclosure,
except at prohibitive prices. The mo-
tion picture operators also prefer day-
light to artificial light.
CHARGES AN AGREEMENT
Federal Court at Indianapolis Pro-
poses to Find Out If Compact Also
Was Made With Miners Upon Con-
dition that tin; Soft Coal Strike Bo
Called Off Last Year—Action Scon.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 5.—Federal
Judge Anderson deciaerd in United
States district court today that the. in-
vestigation to be made by him next
Monday of Attorney General Palmer's
connection with the soft coal con-
spiracy cases would bo for the pur-
pose of ascertaining "whether the at-
torney general can make an agree-
ment to suppress a portion of the gov-
ernment's evidence." ,
The statement apparently was
prompted by Washington dispatches
quoting Mr. Palmer as saying he was
ur.able to understand what Judge An-
derson is proposing to investigate.
Mr. Palmer's statement was made
last night after he had received notice
of the investigation, sent from here at
Judge Anderson's direction.
The court's explanatory statement
was made today when attorneys in a
civil case asked that It be set for early
hearing.
Declaring lie was unable at present
to set a date for the other cases be-
cause of the pending coal cases, Judge
Anderson said:
"i am engaged in a controversy
with the government. 1 have a case,
set for next Monday, the coal con-
spiracy cases. I am going to find out
then whether the attorney general can
make an agreement, in a case where
the grand jury has returned an indict-
ment, to suppress a portion of the
evidence on the part of the govern-
ment in the trial of that indictment."
Judge Anderson's chargo that the
attorney general is attempting to sup-
press evidence was based on Mr". Pal-
mer's statements, directing govern-
ment counsel In the coal cases not to
use the evidence contained m the bill
of equity on which Judge Anderson
issued an injunction last year directing
cancellation of the order by mine
union officials calling the soft coal
strike.
Mr. Palmer also has said that an
agreement was made in Judge Ander-
son's presence not to use this" evidence
if the miners complied with the
court's order and court officials here
expected the investigation next Mon-
day to include inquiry Into'this phase
and also reveal what agreement was
made with miners.

Paris, Nov. 5.—-France, Great Brit-
ain and Italy have signed a tripartite
agreement in which tiic-y agree to sup-
port each other in maintaining their
"spheres of influence" in Turkey.
1 he limits of the areas i:t which the
respective special Interests of France
and Italy are recognized as defined
by the same document.
This agrement, it developed today,
was signed at Sevres, Aug. 10, the
day the public ceremonial of the sign-
ing of the peace treaty with Turke^
took place. Although the agreement,
it is explained, is not considered a
secret one, it, nevertheless, has never
been made* public until now, after a
lapse of nearly three months since
the signing. Under its own terms, tho
document was to come into force and
be published at the time the Turkish
ieace treaty should go into effect.
This date !s still an uncertainty.
In connection with examination of
he text of the agreement, now avall-
>h!e. attention is being called here to
tho fact that while the treaty recog-
Ises the special Interests of France
n Silioia and the western part of
Kurdistan, bordering on Syria, and of
"aly In nouthern Anatolia, the Brit-
ish spheres of Influence are not only
undefined, but are not mentioned.
This has raised the question If the
British interests may be held to ex-
•nd to any or all the remaining part?
? the Turkish empire.
It is noted also that while the agree-
ment does not take the form of an
Ilia nee, It pledges the contracting
■ wera to "render diplomatic support
to each other In maintaining their re-
spective positions in the areas in
which their special interests are rec-
ognized."
Article 10 of the agreement pro-
vdes that nothing contained in it shMl
prejudice the rights of nations of non-
signatory states to free access to the
vaclous areas for commercial and
ecoQ^mic purposes.

New York, Nov. 5.—With the size
of President-elect Harding's electoral J
vote virtually settled at 404 out of a
possible 531 and the complexion of
the new senate set down as f»9 re-
publicans and 37 democrats, republi-
can leaders today awaited belated re-
turns on eight contests in six states to
fix the exact size of the republican
house majority.
Exclusive of the eight undetermined
seats in the lower house the republi-
cans had 2SS members to 137 demo-
crats and four of other designations,
a plurality of 149. the greatest ever
held by any party in the house. The
nearest approach to it was in the D2nd
congress when the democrats had a
lead of 148.
The republicans appeared to be as-
sured of better than even break on
the eight outstanding seats which
would give them a record party mar-
gin in the house. The seats still in
doubt were the fourth Maryland dis-
trict; eighth Minnesota; fifth M;s-
souri; fifteenth, twenty-first and
twenty-third New York; first North
Dakota and fifth West Yirginia.

Dublin. Nov. 4.—A raiding party of
uniformed men and nine lorries met
with disastrous defeat in an attack
early this morning on the village ol'
Ballinaree, which is adjacent to the
small town of Granard, about 60
miles from Dublin. After the sack-
ing of Granard last night, the resi-
dents of Ballinaree gathered in de-
fense of their homes against an at-
tack which they felt certain would
come.
At 2 o'clock in the morning tl^o lor-
ries arrived. A fifteen minute fight
ensued, in which three soldiers were
killed and at least six wounded, ac-
cording to estimates of lowest re-
ports. The attacking forces then re-
treated.
olympic vthlete proves
to be A real hero.
Therefore, policy as to statute and
administration is with it. Its task Is
no longer that of the critic but the
constructor. It Is my hope and CJrm
belief that the democracy of the na-
tion will not attempt political sabot-
age. The county has seen quite
enough of that.
"We are in the midst of an emer-
gency and the nation's every resource
should co-ordinate in behalf of the
things that are helpful. So long as
government_exists, the principles of
Thomas Jefferson will be tho center
about which human hopes will gath-
er. Talk of a new party is absurd.
One might, as well as discuss the de-
struction of human emotions.
"As essential as it has been to the
welfare of the country In I he past the
creed of democracy is more needed
now than ever because recent events
have made it distinctly the American
party.
"In spirit I am as proud as when
(ho fight started. I would not retrace
a step nor yield a single jot in princi-
ple. It was a privilege to make the
contest in the lace of overwhelming
odds. There is a distinct difference
between defeat and surrender. The
flag of democracy still flies as the
symbol of things more enduring than
the passions and resentment that
come with the aftermath of war."

St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 5. - Waltham
Moore, a negro waiter, and the first
member of his race to be elected to
the Missouri legislature since the re-
construction period, paid taxes ur|!er
a different name on a "politician's
lot" last September, Collector Ed-
mund Koeln said today, and is quali-
fied to hold a seat in the legislature.
It was announced this morning by
Collecthr Koeln that the tax books
failed to show Moore paid taxes since
1015 and consequently could not take
his seat because of a Missouri statute
which says a mau must have paid
tases within a year prior to his elec-
tion before he can be seated as a state
representative.
Further Investigation by Collector
Koeln, however, revealed that Moore
purchased a lot with a fonr foot front
from Robert Walker last September,
and immediately paid $1.75 back
taxes on It for the last four years
under Walker's name. Moore's name
was written on the reverse side of
the bill, but was not entered In the

Invites Friends to Council.
The names of those already inviteil
have not been made public, but it
was said in an announcement from
the president-elect's office tonight
"men and women who have been em-
inent in the discussion of our foreign
relations" made up the list. Addi-
tions will be made during Mr. Hard-
ing's vacation trip, it was added, al-
though no consideration will be given
by him during that period to the
choice of a cabinet.
The announcement followed a long
conference between Senator Harding
and Will H. Hays, who, as republi-
can national chairman, led the cam-
paign for Harding and Coolidge.
Neither revealed what subjects they
had discussed, but it was understood
the chairman's visit here was made
at Mr. Harding's request and had to
do with the campaign just closed and
with the policies to be shaped for the
coming administration.
The' objective of the senator's va-
cation trip is Point Isabel, Texas, and
although he plans to occupy most of
his time there hunting and fishing,
another of his close campaign advis-
ers, Harry M. Daugherty, will accom-
pany him. It is taken for granted
there will be some discussion of poli-
cies and administrative programs be-
tween them.
Dcc-llnos Offer of Battleship.
Today Mr. Harding declined an of-
fer of President Wilson to provide
him with a battleship for the voyage
to the Panama Canal Zone, which is
to follow a 12-day stay at Point Isa-
bel. In resp'onse to a telegram from
Secretary Daniels, conveying the pres-
ident's proposal, the president-elect
wired that he was thankful but al-
ready had closed an agreement to
make the trip on a passenger steamer.
Secretary Daniels telegraphed the
offer to the president-elect at Marion,
as follows:
"The president desires me to say
that having heard that you contem-
plate a visit to the Panama Canal
Zone he has directed me to place a
warship at your disposal. I am also
authorized in his name the use of the
Mayflower to take you to the Hamp-
ton roads where the ship will wait for
you if that suits your convenience. It
will give me pleasure to make such
arrangements as will be suitable to
you."
It was said at Harding headquar-
ters tonight that a hitch over the
sailing schedule had been adjusted
and that a proposal to have the liner
go out of its regular route to pick up
the party at Galveston had been
abandoned. Under the present plan
the departure will be made from New
Orleans, to which point the senator
and Mrs. Harding and their guests
will go from Point Isabel by rail. The
sailing date, however, has not been
announced.
In final preparation for his first
real vacation in months. President-
elect Harding disposed of the last re-
maining business of his campaign
headquarters here and virtually aban-
doned the headquarters building
which has housed his office and cam-
paign assistants since July. With
i Mrs. Harding and a party of friends
he leaves tomorrow morning for a
month's vacation trip that will take
him to southern Texas and probably
to Panama.
