Washington, D. C.—Joining of an
effort for international agreement for
the outlawry of war with that of
further armament« reduction in any
new arms conference called by Presi­
dent Coolidge was proposed in a mem­
orial brought to Washington for pres­
entation to the chief executive by a
committee of its signers, who includ­
ed many prominent tn church, educa­
tional and other fields and several
state governors.
Viewed from the outcome of the ef­
fort of the League of Nations in this
direction, the memorial said, “the
great cause of the outlawry of war
would seem lost unless a conference
called by you results in the uniting of
the nations in a practical plan of ag-
gressive war.”
The fact that in that movement,
the memorial added, the representa-
tives of 48 governments, “adopted by
unanimous and enthusiastic detailed
vote a plan for the' outlawry of ag
gressive war in the form of a draft
treaty for submission to their govern-
ment, shows that the time ls ripe

Washington, D. C.—Tha farmer pays
more in taxes, based on property val­
ues, than his city cousins, in the opin­
ion of the department of agriculture
economists, who havs completed a
study of taxation in three Indiana
counties.
Ths study covered the tax records of
IDS farms in Tipton, Miami indMon-
roe counties, the first being chosen to
represent high value land, the second
average value, and the third low value
land.
Rented farms were found to yield,
before deducting taxes, 3.8 per cent a
year. Rented city real estate yielded
4.6 per cent, while bank property re­
turned 8 per cent. The economists
pointed out that if a uniform 2 per
cent tax were levied on the three
classes of property, it would absorb 25
per cent of the bank Incomes, 42.5 per
cent of the city rents and 52.6 per cent
of the farm rents.
“Actual tax returns show,” they add­
ed, “that farm land does pay more
taxes In proportion to its annual earn
Ings than other real property. It re­
quired almost one-third of all net
rents from the surveyed Indiana farms
to pay property taxes levied against
them from. 1919 to 1923.”

Washington,^D Q—All indictment«
of Albert B. Full, E. L. Doheny, Harry
F. Sinclair and Edward L. Doheny Jr.,
growing out Of the naval oil reserve
leases, were qgasheil here by the Dis­
trict of Colug|bia supreme court.
Justice MoG^ sustained the motion
of counsel for th* defendants to din-
miss the Indictments on the ground
that they were violated by the firM*
ence of unauthorized persons in the
grand jury room when evidence was
being taken.
The bribery charge grew out of the
delivery to Fall here while he was
interior secretary of >100,000 in cash.
The fund was advanced by the elder
Doheny and brought here from New
York by his son iu the now celebrated
little black satchel. Fail gave bis per­
sonal note for the amoant, and Do­
heny, in disclosing that ha had ad­
vanced the money, said th woe a loan
to a friend and had nothing to do
with the leases.
The indictments returned here and
ordered dismissed are wholly apart
from civil suits ^hich have been
brought by the government in Wyom­
ing add California for the recovery of
the Teapot Dome and California naval
reserve!.~
In dismissing the criminal indict­
ment, Justice McCoy upheld the con­
tention of defense counsel that the
senate resolution taking prosecution of
the oil cases from the department of
justice and placing them In the hands
of special counsel removed the right
of the attorney-general or any of his
assistants to appear before the grand
jury. *

Washington, D. C.—Justice Hitz, in
district supreme court, issued a re-
straining order against the United
States shipping board, preventing it
from selling the five great “president”
type liners now operating in the Pa

The restraining order was sought by
the Pacific Mall Steamship corpora
tion, which now operates the vessels
under lease from the board and fol
lows a bitter battle between the two
concerns over the .right to purchase
the ships.
The board a few days ago accepted
the Dollar bid, in preference to the
Pacific Mail’s offer.

April 18, at which time counsel for the
shipping board will go before Justice
Hitz and argue the legality of the
