Mrs. Vincent Astor Deter
mined to Keep Buzz Wagons
Out of Little Island
HAMILTON, nermuda. April
21. Renewed efforts to enact a
law permitting the use of auto
mobiles in Bermuda have been
made this spring by members of
the Bermuda assembly.
These islands have held out
thus far against what is consid
ered a "dangerous Innovation,"
bnt there is a strong party for
rapid transit.
The chief opponents of auto
mobiles are American winter resi
dents and tourists. .Mrs. Vincent
Astor of New York, who has been
occupying a residence on Hamil
ton harbor for the past two sea
sons, sent a letter to the local
newspaper objecting to their in
troduction on the island.
As this colony has only a little
more than 19 sqnare miles of area
visitors do not regard motor
transport as a necessity. Since
the island of Nantucket admitted
automobiles, this is about the
only civilized place from which
they are barred.

FLAX FARMERS
ARE SI1IP
BY EXECUTIVE
Arrangements Are Made To
Tide Over Difficulty Made
By Slump in Commidity
Market.
GROWERS MAY AWAIT
FOR FULL PAYMENTS
Salem Bankers Assure the
Authorities That They
Will Help
Governor Olcott nas issued a
call to the 85 farmers who have
contracted with the Btate lo grow
riax this year ashing them to at
tend a meeting to be held at the
6tate capitol at 1:S0 o'clock p
m. today to discuss the prospect
or the coming season from a fi
nancial point of view.
A slump in th? flax market af
fecting the crop on hand, together
with an emergency condition at
the state penitentiary which
caused the closing down of th-";
state flax plant for four months
wilt make it impossible for the
Ftate to have sufficient money to
meet payments due the farmers
with whom the contracts wer-3
made when the crops are harvest
ed the coming summer. However,
through the co-operation of Salem
bankers, arrangements have been
made which it is believed will be
satisfactory to the farmers when
they are apprised of the condi
tions today, although their mon
ey will not be available in full
nntil the latter part of next year.
High Price Is Rasis
"The flax market has been hi.
by the same slump which has
forced the price of all agricultur
al products to bedrock." said the
governor, in explaining the rea
son for calling the meeting. "The
secretary of the board of control,
in the budget submitted to the re
cent legislature, showed the val
that time to be $75,310. The
valuation was based on the then
prevailing market price on the
finished products. Acting on this
Information we entered into con
tracts with farmers to plant 731
acres for the 1921 season, which,
with a fair yield, it is estimated
will post the state approximately
61,H)0 in buying the flax from
the farmers.
"Had the flax market main
tained anything like the value it
showed at the time these con
tracts were entered into, and had
it been possible to keep the flax
millin operation during the past
fonr months no difficulty would
have been experienced in finan
cing the 1921 flax crop. Hut the;
old flume at the prison which has
been in a dangerous condition for
a long time became so weakened
as to threaten to wreck the In
stitution and a new flume be
came an absolute necessity. All
operations at the flax plant came
to a dead stop and have been for
four months while a new flume
has been completed and the plant
opened early this month.
Similar In 10IO
"In the meantime, flax, hlonc
with prunes, wheat, livestock and
other agricultural products de
clined In price o that the value
of the unworked stock on hand
dwindled to approximately 122.
000 at prevailing market prices.
Because of the foreed delays it
probably will be the first of the
year before these products can b
put on the market in finished
shape. Late In July and early in
August the 1921 crop will be har
vested and delivered to the pris
on, but because of the condition.'
described the state will be unable
to meet the payments due to the
farmers. A similar condition
aroRe in 1916 when it became ne
cessary for arrangements to e
made with local bankers to fi
nance the crop, loans so made
eventually cared for by the legis
the. roneral fund later be
ing completely reimbursed from
tho Ilax fund to recover the ai
proprlatlon made.
"At conferences with all the
members or the board of control
present, as well as Warden Ootnp
ton. or tho prison. t)r. IT. E. I.
Stelner or the state hospital. Itob
ert Crawford, superintendent ot
the flax plant. It. J. Hendricks,
one of the pioneer exponents or
the flax industry. P. K. Thomason.
one of the principal flax raiwrs,
and representatives of all the 1
cal banks, the situation was gou"
Into thoroughly with the decision
reached to call in all tbe frrowcr:
present the facts to them and ad
vise them that If they wished to
go ahead they must do so with
the understanding that the money
to pay ror their flax will not bvs
available In full probably until
the latter part of next year.
Hankers Interrwt-i
"The bankers, as did all the
others present, expressed a keen
interest in advancing and main
taining the industry and gave as-'n-f.w

Appointment of Col. George i

"Crowning Affront" To

INSULTS HEAPED UPON
LONDON AMBASSADOR
Break Between Wilson and
New York Editor
Is Aired
WASHINGTON, April 21. The
appointment of Colonel George
Harvey as ambassador to Great
Britain, confirmed by tbe senate
last week In executive session, was
attacked and defended for four
hours today in a remarkable and
unusual senate 'session.
Shortly after the senate had
convened at noon. Senator Har
rison, democrat, Mississippi, arose,
said he had sought to consider
the Harvey nomination in open
session but had been blocked, and
then launched into an extremely
vehement attack on the new am
bassador and his appointment.
He described Mr. Harrey "as a
creator of prejudice and a stirrer
of strife," and as "a vindictive,
self-annointed, intolerant politi
cal accident." and charged that
the appointment would be re
garded by "millions of patriotic
Americans regardless of party af
filiations as a crowning affront to
the invalid who recently Vacated
the White House." ;
Republican senators for a time
sat fairly aghast. Then followed
conferences, Including several be
tween Senator Lodge, republican
leader, nd Senator Brandegee, of
