Farm Wasres Up 200 P. C.
During: Past Sixty Years
Washington, June 17 W Depart
ment ot agriculture statisticians,
after delving into civil war records,
have concluded that farm wages
have increased more than 200 per
cent In the past sivty years.
Farm labor that could be hired
for J10 a month with board in
grandfather's time, they found now
costs $31 a month, and this is
slump from the $47 peal;, reached
in I'.i-v.
Selecting one hundred as repre
senting the average between 1910
and 1914. the opens calculated
that -wages were at the 55 level in
1SG5 and at ti7 in 1SS3. After a
drop to 61 in ISM, farm wages
again started en pscent and reached
101 in in)4. Willi the World War
impetus, the Index advanced rapidly,
reaching 112 In IMfi. 14 ill F.H7.
175 In 1 3 1 , and :'"6 in 191?, and
239 In 1!20. A drop to 150 was ex
perienced In 19?1 and to 116 in 1821.
but the movement was then reversed
the figure going to 166 in 1923 and
1934.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, .WUUNESDAY,
18 W PAPER
Cites Many Instances ot Alleged
Irregularities
Hartford, Jun 17 VP) The appeal
of Gerald Chapman to the supremo
court from his conviction In the su
perior court for the murder of a
New Drltaln policeman was perfect
ed yesterday with the filing ot the
final papers In the proceeding by
his Junior counsel, Nathan O. 1'recd
tmiu. The appeal In scheduled to
bo heard at the October term of
tho supreme court, and for that
reason Chapman, who w as sentenced
to die on June 25, was granted a
reprieve until December 3.
Many Frrora Claimed
Among the niany errors assigned
to the court as reasons for appeal
and relvslon of errors In the state
ment that Judge Newell Jennings
erred In charging the Jury as fol
lows: "I do not desire to misquote the
evidence, and my recollection is
that the accused did not tell us
where he was on the morning in
question but desires you to believe
from ths evidence' Introduced that
ho was not in New Britain."
Charge to Jury
Another error assigned to the
court in ifs charge to tho jury is
the following: "I have already in
timated to you that in my view of
the evidence only two verdicts are
possible, not guilty or guilty of
murder In tho tlrst degree."
.Mentioned Other Crimes
The appeal seta out that the court
erred n denying Chapman's motion
to set unide the verdict; It erred In
allowing Irrelevant and immaterial
testimony to go before the jury on
the promise that the state's attor
ney would connect It up wiih the
issue in the case; It erred In allow-
in-,' tho Introduction of evidence
tending to show the commission of
crimes other than that with which
he was charged.
It sets out that reversible error
does exist "because the state's at
torneys in their closing arguments
to the jury appealed to their pas
sion, prejudice and partiality and
because the objects urged upon tho
jury were unfair and prejudicial and
were adopted to, and did. influence
tho minds of the jurors against the
accused, and did prejudice the
jurors against him, the accused."
I'ul'air Atmosphere
The court erred in failing ' to
charge I he jury. It la set out. that
"the court's estimate as to the
weight and value of evidence should
not bo submitted for that of the
Jury's; IJie jury is entitled to con
sider the fact that Walter E. Shean
is a self-corifessed murderer in con
sidering hts Interests and motives
nd credibility of his testimony.

Cost of Whiskey Runs
High in Virginia Court
Washington, June 17 UP) Tho
cost of a pint of whiskey for evid
encc In Virginia was shown to be
rather high In a report received by
H. M. Luckett, divisional prohibition
chief.
Five Washington prohibition
agents, it was related, filed with the
state a bill- for J57.75 for expenses
incurred in giving testimony recent
ly on the seizure of one pint of
liquor In a recent raid near Win
chester. Winchester court attaches said the
appearance of agents in such cases
heretofore has been without cost,
but the agents told Mr. Luckett the
raid was made solely to assist state
enforcement officers.
The Winchester officials, however,
asserted that the aid was unsolicited.
The bill, meanwhile, has been refer
red to the circuit court In the coun
ty for its consideration.

Island, In the froten White flea,
which has been tho terror of poli

On recommendation of the itute

abolish tha notorious prison, which
houses several hundred social revo

Tn the Imperial days, the Rolovct
sky Island with Its ancient religious
ihrlnei. treasurers and traditions,
was considered one of the holiest
places In- Russia, but In 1911 the
Bolshevikl converted it Into an exile
camp. Its remoteness, inarcessimmy
and cheerlcssnees appealed to them
as particularly fitting for a place to
which to banish political dissenters.
For a long time reports were
printed abroad of hunger strikes,
suicides .outbreaks anl other Dis
turbances at the monastery-prison,
but these were denied by the Soviet.
Tho Inmates Included many pro

and aristocracy, and the most active

By CHARLES P. STEWART
NBA Servlco Writer
Washington, June 17. To re
duce the spread In prices between
what ths American producer gets
and tho ultimate consumer has to
pay to give tho former more for
his product and the latter hla liv
ing at lower cost let's get back
to our old-time utilization of tho
country's inland waterwaya.
The suggestion is Brig. Gen, T.
Q. Ashburn's.
Ashburn is chairman of ths In
land Waterways Corporation, cre
ated hy Congress a year ago a
government enterprise, but intended
to bo run governmcntally only with
a view to demonstrating "the fcasl.
blllly and economic value of water
transportation."
It is then to encourage "the re
establlshmcnt of private corpora
tions upon our navigable streams
and canals, operating common car
riers which will be of mutual bene
fit to tho public and themselves."
America. General Ashburn re
marks In a pamphlet he has just
Issued through tho government, ha
experienced two stages of trans
portation and Is entering on a third,
Tha first was the wagon and wa
ter stage; the second, rail; today
we need every available transporta
tion means rail, the automobile,
air we already are using or be
ginning to use all these and wa
ter. This lRtter method we abandoned
during the period of our great rail
road development but ought to be
getting back to, for the handling of
bulk freight, because "it's tho
cheapest means of transportation
known."
To show how very much cheaper
water is than anything else the gen
eral cites figures gathered in con
nection with his operation of the
government's experimental Missis
sippi, Warrior river and Louisiana
Evolution Pro and Con
The fcubjert that in uppermost In the news today: what &o you know
ilout It? loM the evolutionist say we ar descended from monkeya? If
not what doca he nay? Does the theory of evolution preclude a belief In
rrcation by tiod? "What aro the arguments that wili he used In the his; trial
In Tennessee? What docs William J. Bryan have to say on the aubject?
Our Washington Bureau haa ready for you a bulletin on tha subject,,
giving both sides of the question: it givra briefly and simply the main ar
guments for and against the Theory of Evolution and especially the theory -that
man cvohed from lower forms of life. Whichever side of the argument
vou may personally take, this bulletin gives your side and the other aide,
i'itl out tho loupon below and mall as directed:

at It plant cheaper than It can pro
duce It own oro at Its own mine,
and transport It by rail to it man
ufactory, it will be brought home to
you that there Is something radical
ly wrong in the present situation."
-
General Ashburn isn't trying to
furnish a substitute for rail trans
portation or to force tho railroad
to cut their rates.
He recognizes that many and per
haps most water hauls will have to
be supplement by tho roads, on
some equitablt rate division which
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion presumably will fix,
But setting erwythlng else aside,
he says, "the Increasing demand of
the country's commerce" will soon
be beyond the railroads' power to
meet without a tremendous en
largement of their facilltio.
lie estimates its cost at 10 btl.
lion dollars in the next decade. Hi
theory is that It will bo better to
minimize this expenditure on tho
railroads' part and to devote part
of the money to waterway devel
opment, which costs far less and
can be made, he thinks, to accom
plish just as much or more.
Besides, the general doubts if th
roads can possibly manage tho.
necessary expansion of their serv
ices, at any cost.
"When we reach a point," he says,
"where it costs more and take s
longer time to get a car In and out
of a city like New York than it doe
to move It from New York to Phlla
delphia, the transportation system
is pretty well saturated."
