DES MOINES, la.. Dec. 23.
Caught between two rival raiding
squads hero today, druggists lost
considerable quantities of alcohol
and whisky, which, some of them
alleged, was legally theira. John
B. Hammond, former police chief,
veteran anti-liquor crusader and
verbal assailant of Chief of Police
James Cavender, and the police
chief himself, led the two raiding
parties, which were so effective in
their work that they even dupli
cated on at least one raid.
The Hammond-Cavendeir. feud
was climaxed yesterday by the
entry of a charge of libel against
the former police head by the in
cumbent. While Hammond Wat
out on bonds today he made up a
raiding party at the county sheriff?
office and started to prove to Cav
ender that druggists were holding
liquor under federal permits, but
without proDer state authorization.
as he claimed some time ago.
Picked Squad Used
At the same time Cavender sal
lied forth with a picked squad
from the municipal building.
When the roll was called tonight
six druggists had answered to the
call of the present police chief,
wnne Hammond's county raiders

tempted Abroad
(Tiy The Associated Press)
AKRON, Ohio, Dec. 23. Nich
olas Longworth, speaker of the
house, after a tour of Akron rub
ber plants and conferences with
officials of the companies today,
said tonight that congress Is seek
ing every means to help American
rubber manufacturers meet Brit
ish restrictions and competition.
"There seems to be a combined
effort on the part of every for
eign nation producing rubber to
restrict Its output, thereby increas
ing the price or rubber products,"
ho declared.
Investigation Planned
Information obtained by him
here, he said, would be used to
facilitate the investigation into re
striction of crude rubber produc
tion authorized by the house.
In an address tonight, Mr. Long
worth described restrictions im
posed by foreign nations on pro
duction and exports of rubber as
an International swindle.
The recent artificial and unfair
increases in rubber prices are han
dicapping a great industry and
robbing the public of millions of
dollars, he sa.d.
Congress Power Questioned
"While there Is a question as to
what power congress may have in
this matter,'' he continued, "it is
going to bring before the Ameri
can people, who don t like to be
suckers, the situation as it exists
today.
"We have placed the Investiga
tion in charge of the committee
on interstate and foreign com
merce, one of the moor, important
committees in congress, because
we consider the problem a serious
one."
Harvev S. Firestone. . P. W.
Litchfield, Jacob Pfeiffer. W. O.

of several thousand, remained

of Versailles was given a mandate
over the islands, formerly belonged
to Germany, and the United States
by which America has given equal
rights with all other powers ln all

(By. The Aisoclated Treat)
WASHINGTON, Dec 23 Pres
ident Coolidge, in working out ar
plan to accept the league of na--tions
Invitation to a preliminary,
discussion of a disarmament con-
ference, has sought the Views of.
congressional leaders as the best
method of procedure. .
He conferred today with Cha!r-
man Borah, of the senate foreign t.
relations committee, and C5nator
Moses. Republican of New Hamn-
shire.and Lenroot, Republican of
Wisconsin as to whether congres-
Bionai sanction snouia do given
even in advance of participation in
the preliminary Geneva meeting',
at which an effort will be made to
draw up an agenda for the pro-'
jected world arms conference.
. Expenses tn Be Provided
The request for ' such sanction
would lake the form of a bill car-,
rying an appropriation to defray
the expenses of American partici
pation. Opinloft at the capltol as
to the admissibility of this course
appears now to be divided, but
Senator Lenroot told 'the president
mat most senators favored accept-.
ance of the invitation. '
Senator Borah and others of the
lrreconclIab.es in -the league of
nations fight hold, that acceptance
should be conditioned upon a very
thorough understanding that the
proposed disarmament conference .
would pot consider European se
curity pacts and that the country
would -not enter into any kind of
agreement in which the league of
nations would be called upon ul-.
Umately to put Into force.
, Borah Is Silent N-

aeennea to aiscnss nis visit 10 ine
Whlte House other than to, say
that he and the president were in
accord. Later it was stated at the .
White . House that he had ex
pressed the opinion of the presi
dent that sanction of congress in
an appropriation of funds for ex
penses would be necessary and ap
propriate. President Coolidge had another
conference with Secretary Kellogg,
who said afterwards that he was
leaving Immediately for St. Paul
to spend Christmas and that lur
ther action would be delayed until
after the holidays. v .
Conferees ln Recess
If the president decides to ask
the sanction of congress, he could
not do so until after January 4,
as it now Is in recess.
Since the Geneva conference is
not to be held until Februry 15,
however, it is believed there will
be ample time for action, even
taking into account the probability
of some extended discussion of the
question by the senate. ,
POOLING PLAN, OPPOSED
CHANGE DECLARED TO RE
WARD POOR MANAGEMENT
fBy The Associatsd Press)
CHICAGO, Dec. 23. The pool
ing plan for railroad, earnings
proposed by Mark Potter, co
receiver of the Chicago, Milwau
kee and St. Paul railroad, "Is more
than socialism," Fred W. Sargent,
president of the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, said to
night In a formal statement com
menting on the Potter plan,,
"I make this charge," he said,
"because the pooling plan places
responsibility with one company
for the inefficiency ot other com
panies, and puts a premium on
mismanagement."
The Potter plan, he said, takes
from the stockholders of a well
managed railway property tholr
oarnlngs evon before thoy havo
had a fair return on their invest
ment and gives them to other
companies which may not havo
been so well managed or situalod
as to traffic volume.
"It does this without any offset
ling compensation," he declared.
"Here's an Illustration: Ono road
m ght be earning three per cent
while another might be making
only one per cent.
"This plan would take from the
three per cent road and give It to
the one per cent road. This divi
sion would bo made bofore the
