P.)—Disputes between rural and town populations, and the efforts of the Palatinate government to control food supplies by '.aw, formed tho basis for the free peas ants movement which brough the late Herr Heinz into prominence and ultimately resulted in his establish ment of the so-called autonomous Palatinate which gained the support of the French occupation forces nnd expelled the legal government, which is now housed at Heidelberg. President Heinz owned a farm near Orbls and was burgomnster of his district. Hut he was a politician rathor than a farmer, and devoted much time to resisting the edicts of the Palatinate government located at Speyer. His farm, according to his neighbors, was the worst cultivat ed bit of land In the district. When the Speyer government ordered farmers to deliver a certain percent age of their milk and other products to the urban population, Heinz seiz ed upon the opportunity to load what he called a rebellion and enlisted many of the free peasnnts in tho movement which was economic rathor than political. It is estimated in German quar ters that about 18,000 persons in the Palatinate, out of a total popu lation of 800,000 were members of tho free peasants. It was not a po litical party, and its president, M. Hamm, now declares that he is not for the Separatist government which Heinz established at Speyer, and which was taken over by Adolph Bley, after Heinz was murdered In Speyer. In addition to the free peasants there aro two other organizations of farmers in the Palatinate, the Chris tian peasants and the Bauernbund, or Peasants' Union. The former has about 5,000 members, both Catholic and Protestant, and the latter Is said to have about 21,000 '.embers. The free peasants are the ultra-radical wing among the farming population, and compromise adherents of various churches as well as free thinkers. Edward A.

P.)— A Mitchell Palmer, attorney general during the Wilson administration will be called before the senate oil committee. Senator Dill, democrat, of Washington, insisted that Palmer be called saying that he was a "go- between" in the delivery of Edward B. McLean’s messages to the commit tee.

"Curtis advised us,” the telegram read, "to see Underwood. We saw Underwood, who promised to speak to Walsh, but he hinted that It would not do any good." Walsh today stated that Underwood asked Walsh if he had any objec tion to having inserted in the con gressional record a letter to Walsh by Palmer and Walsh said be had not. Washington, Feb. 28.—(A. P.)— An inquiry by the oil committee into the income tax returns of E. L. Doheny and Harry F.

Pierpont Morgan Jr., has just giv en in trust the famous library as sembled by his father, said to be the greatest private collection of litera ture in the world, for the free use of scholars, research workers and scientists. The deed of trust, under which the building and contents are con veyed to a board of trustees, has been duly recorded, and the great storehouse ot rare ancient and mo dern volumes soon will be available. The gift carries with it an en dowment fund of $1,500,000, which, Mr. Morgan has hinted, may be in creased if needed for the perpetua tion of this memorial to his father's love of rare works ot literature. The total value of the grant is estimat ed at more than $8,500,000, Includ ing the endowment fund. The library contains volumes dat ing back to a time which in the day of King Tut-ankh-Amen would have been as remote as the latter is to ■ the present age. Ancient illuminat ed manuscripts, the original writings of some of the most famous contrib utors to literature in this and pre ceding ages, and fragile, yellowed leaflets representative of the birth of the printer’s art, are included. So delicate, in fact, are many of the older volumes that Morgan spe cifically prescribed that the collec tion neve? would be thrown open to the public. A few handlings only re main in some of these rare old books, he declared, and these should be saved for those who by special fit ness are qualified to make use of them. The trustees have full powers of administration, extension of the housing, the remova; to a new loca tion, if at any time this shall be deeped advisable, and generally to do any and all things requisite for the carrying out ot the purposes ex pressed in the trust. They may in corporate if they so will; may em ploy any necessary officers and as sistants, buy and sell, accept any ad ditions by bequest or otherwise. The life of the trust is 100 years from March 31, 1913, the date of tho death of the elder Morgan.
