XIII NO 225 OF THE EVENING NEWS) THIEVES LOOT TIIEfl SET PI II TO TAiLORSHOP Suits and Bolt Goods Stolen From Bernier Tailoring Establishment. HIGHWAYS GUARDED Special Deputies Appointed to Search All Cars Fail to Locate Men Respon sible for Crime. The tailor shop owned and oper ated by J. H. Bernier, located In the Marks building on North Jack son street, was robbed and then fired late last night Nineteen bolts of suit goods, and four or five fin ished suits, two of them new ones ready for delivery comprised the loot which the thieves obtained. The shop was entered through the rear door, where a panel was brokea out. There were two doors Intervening between the bark store room and the front of the shop, and the thieves apparently took considerable time forcing their way In to the room where the cloth was kept. An auger was used to bore holes In the doors, cutting around the locks so that the doors could be I orced open. The robbery apparently ' occur red early in the evening, while the streets were crowded, and the re moval of the goods must have been carried on in plain sight, as the bolls were piled on a table in the room fronting on the main street. Indications were that a light truck was backed up to the rear door of the establishment and the stolen articles loaded In that vehicle. Tracks were found leading out of the alley to Wash ington street, the tire Impression showing that the car had then turned down to Rose street, and then south towards Cass. A report that two cars, one a light truck, were seen speeding south shortly after 10 o'clock, Is be ing Investigated. After looting the shop the thieves piled up boxes containing trimmings, paper, kindling and oth er Inflammable materials and aet fire to the structure in two places. The fire apparently was started with the purpose of covering up the evidences of the robbery. Although the bold robbery evi denced an experienced hand, the thieves were apparently inexperi enced as arsonists. The rubbish used to start the fire contained great deal of cloth, which caused considerable smoke, so that the fire was oulcklv seen from the Ter-; minal Hotel, almost directly across 'tho hills of Galilee.

"The oldest and most widely read and most talked about book In the world opens its history of mankind with this astonishing de- claratlon 'And God said, let ns make man In our Image, after our likeness, and let them have do minion.'" Dr. Louis Albert Banks said Sunday afternoon. In his Mem orial address before the Elks lodge at the annual program honoring ine oeceasea members or the or der. - "It must be admitted by the most critical cavalier concerning man a childhood to the divine that he has In one sense lived un to the purpose for which the Bible says he was made and Is entering upon dominion over the forces of nature." Dr. Banks declared. "He conquers the soil and makes Its grains feed him. its cottons clothe him. Its forests house him. its coals warm him and Its electric current gives-him light. "But It Is in the Inner life of the soul where we find man's true dignity. Our physical lives are very frail. A great many of the birds of the air are more tenacious of life and have a more secure (.enure than we. Our glory Is In the Inner being, where we were made In the likeness of God. and which will go on living forever. "After all the supreme evidence of man's childhood to God Is In the person of Jesus Christ. One of the fundamental things that nature and ;1,fe offer us In addition to the of HKht and heat and gravity ,lfe. man that walked over i fidelity unon vhlrh our order Is hiillded. It Is In Him that we find our true dignity and glory. "The pastor of a great church In our national capltol sought for many years for a collection of rare silver and gold and precious jewels from which to make a superb chal ice for use In the Holy Communion In a historic church.

VISIONS FINE FUTURE Says Government Control of Prices Would Bring Over-Production and Then a Collapse. CHICAGO, Dec. 7. Convinced that cooperative marketing with governmental encouragement is the best solution or the farmers problem. President Coolidge in tends to give the movement his active and energetic assistance. He is opposed to proposals that the government sell and buy farm products, or fix prices directly or indirectly. Further he believes present tariff duties benefit the farmer and should not be revived. Outlining his views on the agri cultural situation and. proposed remedies In an address today at the annual convention of the Am erican farm bureau federation the president said that despite Its pre sent embarrassments, agriculture as a whole should lead industry 16 future prosperity. "I believe th,at the past history or the relative trend of prices be tween farm products and other commodities Is of tremendous significance." he told his a'wll ence. made up of represenlative farmers. "The surplus lands of the country are exhausted. The industrial population is out strip ping the farm population. Manu facturing . Is expanding. These must come to the farmers for their food and thfXrraw materials. While we can produce more, the markets for food are Increasing much faster than present farm productivity. The future of agri culture looks to be exceedingly secure." Cooperation Value Keen. Referring to the cooperative movement as the most Important development of late years In the agricultural rield and emphasizing the "crop surplus problem as a vexing factor In the farm price situation, Mr. Coolidge expressed the opinion that with the econo mic Information furnished by the department of agriculture with better warehouses and storage facilities and a belter credit struc ture, much can he done to take rare of the ordinary surplus. As to proposals for the organi sation of cooperation thru which the government would directly or indirectly fix prices or engage In buying and selling farm products. t"e president made this observa tion: "This would be a dangerous un dertaking, and as the emergency is not so acute. It seems at present to have lost much of its support. No matter. how It is disguised, the moment the government engages in buying and selling by that act It fixes prices. Moreover. It would apparently delroy cooperative as sociation and all other marketing machinery, for no one can com pete with the government. I'ltU malely It would end the Indepen dence which the farmers of this country enjoy as a result of ren tunes or struggle and prevent the exercise of their own Judgment and control In cultivating their innn and marketing their pro- duct." Fanner Mil).t lie Independent. "Government control cannot he divorced from political control. The overwhelming Interest of the consumer, not the smaller Inter est ot the producer would be sure io nominaie in Tne enji. I mess we f(x corresponding prices for other commodities a high fixed price for agriculture would merely stimulate over production that would end In complete collapse. "To have agriculture worth anything. It must rest on an Inde pendent business basts. It can not at the name time be part pri vate business and part govern ment business. I believe the gov ernment ought to give it every altance. but It ought to leave II as the support, the benefit, and the business of the people. The interest which the national gov ernment takes In agriculture Is manifest by an appropriation of about $140,000,000 a year, which la nearly one-fifth of our total expenditure, exclusive of the post- office, prior In the war. I do not need to rernnnt what Is beln dnn for ednratlon and food roads, for oneninx tin our water- wava or the enormous artlvltlfs of the -department of agriculture. which reach lo almost every far mer In the land."

An overhauling of agricultural freight rates, revision of farm taxes, gov ernment encouragement to co operative farm organizations, and were the outstanding reiiiminen- fdalions made today by Secretary jarnine ot tne Agriculture Depart ment In his annual report. The Secretary said that while there has lieen a general Improve ment during the past year, farm conditions are no; yet satisfac tory. Declaring for a general over hauling or all freight rales, he proposed that revision should lake Into account the market value of farm products as reflected over a reasonable period of jcars. and "likewise the influence of freight rates on the economic develop ment of different regions and of the country as a whole." ricxllile Itatea ecil-l. "In relation to pre-war condi tions.'' said the report, 'the price of farm products are not yet on par with freight rates. The level or farm rominodliy prices In 8ep llemhcr was 144 percent of the pre-war average, whereas freight rales on agricultural commodities were 1 r. K perrent or the pre-war average. More over the prlres or agricultural products flutiiuto greaily Troin year lo yew where as freight rates are stable and aro not frequently changed." It was added that farm freight rates should he based on a con- : tinuance set of general conditions. not on those of any given year. "inilcsi freight rates can bo made more flexible, being raised when prlres are high and lowered when they decline within reasonable limits." I'nniMT Ovcr-Timed. Pointing to the greatly Inrrens j ed taxes per acre the farmer Is required to pay now over the ! amount several years ago, the Sec . retary cxprowd a view that It would tie liupoKsililo to restore larni income. "Farm taxes," the report said, "are chiefly general nronerlv taxes levied by the mute and the local.! units on the basis of capital value and they bear little or no direct relation 4n current farm earn ings." "One of the most Important fac tors which contribute to the ex cessive taxation of agriculture, is the tcmienry f many states lo improve the public schools and public roads largely at the ex pense of the local districts." , '4NM'rilllOti Sole vti Nutural development of coopera tive organisations as a specific need In agriculture, the report as serted, makes li seem obvious thai K"vcrnnient supervision and ceHflve regulation.
