Commission Which Has Studied Con
ditions Abroad to Have Perma
nent Headquarters.
The advisability of the development
of a uniform system of rural credits
and an organized and united rural
population in this country is suggested
in a statement made public last night
by Senator Fletcher of Florida, presi
dent of the American commission on
Agricultural Co-operation, and by Dr.
Clarence J. Owens, director general of
the commission, on behalf of that or
ganization. The commission returned
to New York from Europe yesterday
after a three-month study of conditions J
in many of the foreign .countries.
It is planned to open permanent head- I
quarters fur the commission in Wash
ington immediately, with Dr. Owens in
charge. In November the entire com
mission will assemble here to pass upon
a final report, which will be sent to
Congress, to the governors of states
and to the officials of the Canadian gov
ernment and to the Southern Com
mercial Congress.
Compilation Committee.
j A compilation committee, appointed
| to draft the findings of the commission,
consists of Dr. Kenyon L. Butterfleld of
' Massachusetts, Dr. John Lee Coulter of
the census bureau, Leroy Hodges of
Virginia. Robert L. Munce and Charles
F. Bailey, minister of agriculture in the
province of Ontario.
An advisory committee will consist of
Dr. J. E. Stubbs of Nevada, Dr. H. A.
Morgan of Tennessee, John Cunningham
of Ohio, Robert Van Cortlandt of New
York, W. B. Hatch of Michigan, Col. J.
S. Williams of Texas and E. L. Daugh
teridge.
The statement given out last night by
Senator Fletcher was in part as follows:
"The American commission on agricul-^
tural co-operation has completed its tour
of European countries and has perfected
plans to digest and compile the informa
tion obtained with regard to co-operation
and the organization of rural life in Eu
ropean countries along financial, business
and social lines. It is believed that this
task can be completed before the end of
the present year, when the final report
of the commission will be submitted.
"The commission is deeply impressed
with the vital importance of a thoroughly
organized and united rural population.
In this respect the countries of Europe
offer a lesson which may not long be dis
regarded in America without serious con
sequences.
Organization of Farmers.
"The agricultural interests of most of
the European countries visited by the
commission are organized along one or
more of the following lines: Credit, pro
duction. distribution and social organiza
tion for the betterment of country life.
"Organisation for the provisions of cre
dit facilities for European farmers follow
the natural division into short time per
sonal credit and long time land-mort
gage credit. The organizations for the
provision of personal credit facilities are
as highly developed as are the systems of
commercial banking. The prevailing rate
of interest paid by the farmers for short
time loans is from 4 to 5V4 per cent. The
terms afforded European farmers are gen
erally better designed to meet the pe
culiar requirements of agriculturists than
are tne terms obtainable today by the
American farmers.
"Land-mortgage credit has been organ
ized so as to place a collective security
back of bonds issued by land-mortgage
societies in contrast with the system of
marketing individual loans upon individ
ual mortgages. Without discussing the
form of organization employed for this
purpose, it may be stated that these land
mortgage institutions bring to European
farmers low interest rates; the privileges
of repaying loans in small fixed annual
Installments extending over a term of
years?in some cases as long as seventy
five years under the amortization plan,
although provision for earlier payment is
made if the borrower so desires; protec
i on from advance in interest rates and
the practical elimination of commission
charges.
Fostered by Government.
"Many of these personal-credit societies
and land-mortgage associations are fos
tered by government grants, loans or spe
cial provisions of law. Mortgage bonds
Issued by commercial banks and by pri
vate Joint stock land mortgage banks
sell substantially on the same basis with
like securities issued by government-fa
vored institutions, and bot.i classes ot
banns are recognized as needtui in tiie
development and conservation of agricul
tural resources. In many instances pri
vate and commercial banks purchase the
securities of land-mortgage associations.
Experience has demonstrated that such
land-mortgage bonds are liquid assets.
"The system ot land title registration
in countries possessing such mortgage in
stitutions practically prevent dispute of
title upon mortgaged land. Provisions
also are generally afforded these mort
gage institutions which eliminate undue
legal delays in the recovery of loans
placed with defaulting borrowers. Sav
ings and trust funds are frequently in
vested in securities of such mortgage in
stitutions under sanction of law. Loans
up to 5o or even tM> per cent are made on
lancis of dependable value, and are con
sidered safe and conservative, and com
pare favorable with provincial and gov
ernment bonds.
Foiiow Co-operative Lines.
"The organizations for production and
distribution of farm products follow
i co-operative lines. Farm products aro
sold by the producer at a relatively
higher price, and are bought by the
consumer at a relatively lower price
because the cost of distribution is con
siderably lowered by co-operative mar
keting, which results, also, in im
proving the quality and uniformity of
larm products, and in promoting more
business-like methods in farming
operations.
"It is the opinion of many of the lead
ers of this movement in Europe that
the question of rural credit ought not
to be divorced from co-operation for
business purposes and the general or
ganization of community life in rural
districts. In some European countries
visited agriculture and country life in
terests generally are thoroughly or
ganized ^ind co-ordinated. The studies
of the commission emphasize the neces
sity of defining the functions on the
one hand of the government and on
the other of voluntary organizations,
in promoting the development of coun
try life. In some of these countries
great emphasis is placed upon the
value of voluntary associations, and
such state aid as involves jgovern
mental control over the activities of
rural organizations is deprecated as
tending to stifle the initiative of the
people."

Proposed Treaty Will Permit
Single Central American
Union.
SUSPICION WAS AROUSED
AMONG OTHER COUNTRIES
Senate Committee Told Government
Is Not Making Proposals in
Other Quarters.
Important modifications are to be made
in the proposed treaty with Nicaragua, by
which the United States would establish
a protectorate over the southern republic.
It has been discovered that by the terms
of the agreement originally outlined by
Secretary Bryan, Nicaragua would have
been prevented from ever joining with
other republics to form a single Central
American union.
This was not contemplated by the ad
ministration when the treaty was pro
posed, and the suggestion has created
suspicion among the other Central Amer
ican countries. At a conference yester
day between Secretary Bryan and mem
bers of the Senate foreign relations com
mittee it was agreed that the original
draft of the treaty should be changed,
and definite statements be included in the
compact, providing that it should not
stand in 'the way of any future action
Nicaragua might decide to take toward
joining a Central American combination.
Nicaraguan Situation Peculiar.
Secretary Bryan assured the committee
that the government was making no di
rect proposals to other Central American
countries for similar treaties. The Ni
caraguan situation was peculiar, he said,
because that country proposed the nego
tiations and asked for the establishment
of the American protectorate.
In the case of other countries the
United States is "holding itself open" to
treat with them, if the suggestion comes
from other governments. The United
States will not adopt an aggressive atti
tude, Secretary Bryan said, in attempting
to negotiate any additional treaties.
The unexpected turn given to the Nica
raguan matter resulted from the fact that
Secretary Bryan had Incorporated in the
treaty the general terms of the so-called
Piatt amendment relating to Cuba.
With other things, the treaty would
stipulate:
"That the government of Nicaragua
shall never enter into any treaty or other
compact with any foreign power or
powers which will impair or tend to im
pair the independence of Nicaragua."'
Another section would provide:
May Intervene There.
. "That the government of Nicaragua
consents that the United States may exer
cise the right to intervene for the preser
vation of Nicaraguan independence."
The United States has no intention of
preventing a Central American union, it
Is understood, and will modify the rigid
language of the proposed treaty, to make
this clear. The Senate committee pro
poses to go over the treaty in detail dur
ing the next week, and will recommend
a number of other amendments. Chief
among these, it is understood, will be one
designed to protect the United States
against any obligation for the outstand
ing debts of Nicaragua. A further con
ference with Secretary Bryan will take
place Tuesday.

TUBNED BACK TO BUSSIA.
Tailor Barred From U. S., Bnt
Daughter May Enter.
Leaving his wife and six children in
Russia, perhaps until he could earn enough
to bring them to free America, Yossel
Mogilewski, forty-five years old. Jour
neyed here with his nineteen-year-old
daughter. But when he came into port,
at San Francisco, he found the strong
arm of the immigration laws were
against him. The inspectors said that
he must return to Russia to his wife
and six other children, but that his
daughter, a healthy girl, may remain.
Now, the daughter must either return
to Russia or be separated from her
parents.
The father and daughter arrived in
San Francisco, en route to the home of
the father's sister and her husband, at
Chicago. They had tickets for the Jour
ney to Chicago, but had no money with
them. The father is a tailor, but the
Inspectors declared that he had arterio
scleroosis, which, they declared, "afreets
his ability to earn a living." The girl
is a milliner, and the inspectors have no
objection to her admittance. The case
is now on appeal to Assistant Secretary
Post of the Department of Labor.

POSTMASTER'S ORDER
CRITICISED DY SMITH
Abolishment of McKinley Post
Cards Called "Petty
Partisanship."
"Petty partisanship which does not in
dicate broad-minded patriotism" is the
criticism made by Representative Addi
son T. Smith of Idaho, in discussing the
order of Postmaster General Burleson, di
recting that no more postal cards be
issued with the portrait of President Mc
Kinley. Mr. Smith says that the sub
stitution of the likeness of Thomas Jef
ferson will be resented by millions of
people who loved and esteemed President
McKinley in his lifetime.
"As a former Ohioan and a friend and
admirer of the late President McKinley,"
said Mr. Smith, "I do not hesitate to
say that the action of the Postmaster
General in directing that the photograph
of Thomas Jefferson be substituted for
that of the martyred President on the
millions of postal cards to he hereafter
issued does not indicate that degree of
broad-minded patriotism which should
influence govern >r t officials in the dis
charge of their duties.
"Will Resent Change.
"The ciiange ordered will be quietly re
sented in the minds of the great mass
of the fair-minded people of the country,
regardless of politics. 1 am sufficiently
partisan to believe that the appo.ntive
offices of an executive character should
be filled by the appointment of those in
accord with the policy of the administra
tion in power: i;ut it is pretty small
business to displace the photograph ot a
i'i caiUc nt who 'A as so popular with the |
people in all sections of the country,
and who held the office so recently, with
the photograph of a President who has
been dead nearly 1<K> years.
"There are thousands of people who
knew President McKinley, and millions
who held him in the highest esteem,
who are still iiving, and who have a
very tender feeling for his memory, not
only on account of his admirable char
acter and valued public service, but be
cause of the tragic circumstances under
which he died. I doubt if there are a
dozen prominent democrats in the coun
try who would have approved the ac
tion of the Postmaster General had their
opinion been asked.
?'It is a piece of petty partisanship
which, while not publicly resented, has
hurt the feelings of the patriotic people
of the country, and the Postmaster Gen
eral has not fcontributed anything to
the popularity of the administration by
the action which he has taken."

ment, the two commissions represent
ing Virginia and West Virginia, which
have been meeting Jointly at the New
Willard Hotel to discuss the amount of
the state debt of the original state of
Virginia owed by West Virginia, ad
journed yesterday afternoon until Au
gust 12, when further sessions will be
held in Washington.
The members of the two commissions
agreed yesterday that there was no
possibility of an agreement unless one
of the two states or both change their
positions. It was decided, therefore,
that time be given for each commis
sion to consider the position taken by
the other.
It is generally expected that even at
the meeting to be held next month no
compromise will be reached and that
it will be necessary to take the ques
tion before the United States Supreme
Court again. The court handed down
a decision in 1910, but It was not final,
and advised negotiations between the
two states.

FIRST PRIZE?"PASSING SHEEP." BY NELLIE J. LATTA.
Nellie Latta Winner in Star's
Contest?Requirements for
Photos Entered for Prize.
"Passing Sheep," submitted by Nellie
J. Latta of 1321 Massachusetts avenue
southeast, won the prize in The Star's
amateur photographic contest this week.
The prize picture was taken at Water
lick, Va., one of the resorts advertised
in The Star.
Although the picture which took the
prize was of extraordinary excellence, in
the opinion of the judges, it was only
slightly in the lead of a photograph
submitted by J. Macarty, Florida
avenue northwest. This photograph,
taken at Atlantic City. N. J., showed
two small boys holding up a monster
fish by its tail, "x asslng Sheep" was
clearer, however, and showed more de
tail.
Both pictures were unusual and of
more than average merit. The competi
tion this week was much closer than
it was last week, fully twice as many
pictures being submitted. All had a
much higher degree of excellence than
those submitted the previous week.
In the original of "Passing Sheep"
every line is well defined and the wool
upon the backs of the animals seems
almost real. Its composition is good,
it has a pretty setting, and the two
herders in the background lend a hu
man touch. *
Human interest should be taken into
consideration in taking the picture, and
whenever possible it is desirable to have
one or more persons shown. The picture
submitted by J. Macarty is full of human
interest, but because its detail was not
as good and because the "'Passing Sheep"
excelled it in other points the Judges
made the choice announced.
Another contest will be open to ama
teur photographer^ ne\t week and an
other prize of ?lb Ail' be given to the
winner All phot<~?yrnphs for this contest
should be received l?y The Star not later
than noon Fri :aj. Several similar con
tests will follow.
Not only is the ten-dollar prizf* causing
contestants to enter the competition, but
much Kood-natured rivalry has been
aroused. Much interest has also been
awakened by the nature of the contest.
Opportunity Is Open.
Plenty of opportunity yet remains
for those who wish to enter and en
deavor to win J10 by merely submit
ting one of their "pet" photos, or even
to go to one of the numerous resorts
advertised in The Star and make a pic
tut e. The rules of the contest are only
two in number and are easy. They de
mand only that the photo be taken by
an amateur and that it be secured at
one of the resorts advertised iit The
Star.
From Maine and Canada to Florida
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific op
portunities are offered for the picture
contest. Nor is it necessary that they
be taken at some distant place; many
of the resort* near this city offer ideal
chances for the photographer with an
artistic eye, an eye for pictures of
human interest or humor or for the un
usual.
"Do it now" is a good motto for those
to remember who wish to enter a pic
ture which they believe may win the
prize. Get out the camera, load up and
go on a hunt for a prize winner. When
one is obtained send it in to the "Sum
mer Resort Fdltor, The Sta.V The
name and address of the person sub
mitting the photograph should be writ
ten legibly on the back.
NEW LAW IS APPLIED
Cavalry Colonel First to Feel
Effects of Stoppage-of
Pay Act.
Col. John C. Gresham commanding the
10th Cavalry, Is the first officer of the
army to feel the application of the stop
page-of-pay feature of the detached
service legislation of the last previous
Congress. Instructions have been issued
to stop the pay of Col. Gresham because
of his alleged violation of the detached
Hervice statute In ordering Capt. F. P.
Holcomb of the 10th Cavalry to proceed
to Washington to attend the horse show
and polo tournament held there several
months ago. The records show that
Capt. Holcomb at that time was on the
"m&nchu" list, having been on a col
lege detail for four years uninterrupted
ly out of the last preceding six years of
his military service. The fart evidently
was unkonwn to Col. Gresham or was
overlooked by both himself and Capt.
Holcomb. Otherwise the order to Capt.
Holcomb would not have been Issued.
Law's Provisions.
The law relating to detached service
prescribes that "the pay and allowances
shall be forfeited by any superior for
any period during which, by his order,
or by his permission, or by reason of his
failure or neglect to issue or cause to be
issued at the proper time orders by
which any officer shall he detached or be
permitted to remain detached in viola
tion of any of the terms of this pro
viso." The proviso contained the require- ,
ment that an officer shall servo at ieast I
two of the preceding six yearn with a J
troop, battery or company of that branch
of the army in which he sha!l hold a
permanent commission. The penalty of
loss of pay was attached to the officer
responsible for the separation of the
officer from his regular orrar.izatlon. It
is said that ihe only way Col. Gresham
can be relieved from the operation of the
law Is hy the enactment of legislation re
imbursing him for the deductions from
his pay and allowances.
