Is Agreeable.
I The special session of the Senate
tailed to come to an end yesterday, as i
th* eaders had planned it should do. j
owing to delays at the White House
In sending in important nominations
and opposition on the part of some
senators to the confirmation of nominations
already reeei\ed. In consequence.
the Senate will he in session
tomorrow, when, it is hoped, it \Niii
be possible to adjourn s;ne die. ^
Failure of President Harding to send %
in the nominations for the Shipping
Hoard is understood to have been one
of the main reasons the Senate did
not conclude its special session yesterday.
It was indicated that the
I'resider.t was hnving difficulty in in- i
ducing some of the men lie wants to I
accept, and both he and the leaders,
in Congress are anxious to have the!
appointments made and confirmed he- I
tore the Senate quits.
Hay Appoint Harvey.
While it waited for the Shipping !:
Board nominations the Senate heard It
also that Mr. Harding might ask it | ,
to pass judgment before adjournment i
on the nomination of Col. t'Jeorge j *
Harvey, the New York editor, fo he i
ambassador to Great Britain. Selection
of Col. Harvey is understood t ?
have been definitely decided on. and
although Mr. Harding was not ready *
to' transmit the nomination yester.
'day. the republican managers in the
Senate received advance information
of such a positive character that they
conducted a poll of the foreign relations
committee on the question of I
confirmation
Still another cause for prolonging the
pecial ssesion was provided by Senator
La Follette, republican. Wisconsin, who
objected to immediate consideration of
the nomination of former Representative
James J. Each of that state, to he a
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. T'nder the Striate rules the i
nomination, sent from the White House j '
W jpsterday, had to be put over until to- t
morrow. t
Meantime, the Senate cleaned up most t
or its slate of accumulated nominations. I t
voting confirmation of a number sent in t
earlier in the week, and of several that i
Mr. Harding submitted today. Mark t
Potter of New York, whose nomination i
to the Interstate Commerce Commission t
was sent to the Senate along with that
of Mr. Esch. was one of these con- t
firmed. *
Succeed* Caminetti. 1
Among the selections submitted bv the
President dur.'* r the day and favorably ?
acted on by th?% Senate were William c
W. Husband of Vermont, to l?e commis- J
aloner-general of immigration. Harry J
H. A. Billany of Delaware, to be fourth ^
assistant postmaster general, and Carl
A. Mapes of Michigan. to be solicitor of ,
the bureau of internal revenue.
Ralph E. Williams, republican na- .
tlonal committeeman from Oregon, is
understood to be under t-onsirieration for t
one of the other three assistant post- N
master generalships. The assistants will t
bo equal in rank, it was said yesterday r
at the Post Office Department, and Post- ; j
master General Hays is said to be planning
to drop the numerical designation.
Mr. Billany. as fourth assistant, will
have supervision of rural free delivery. r
The new commissioner general of ?,
Immigration formerly was secretary J
to Senator Dillingham of Vermont. t
and was serving: in that capacity i
when the Dillingham Immigration act j
was passed in 1307. He later was J
selected as ejerk. of the immigration
Commission created by the law. and j
remained in that position until thej
Wilson administration came into
power. Twice while with the commission
he made trips abroad to study
Immigration conditions.
During the war Mr. Husband was
Stationed in Switzerland as an of- i
floial of the Red Cross, and since re- j
turning to the I'nited States he lias;
remained with the Red Cross, with i
headquarters in Washington. j
Mr. Husband succeeds Anthony!
Onmtnetti. who was appointed com- J
missioner general of immigration by ,
president Wilson eight years ago.

Woni that the President mi:;ht ask j

of Col. Harvey came as a surprise, j

ambassador at l^ondon, is on his way j
home however, arid it was indicated j I
that Mr. Harding had about decided i
it would he unwise to leave the post j

[ALK OF PRE-WAR
PIES IS WRONG,
WALLACE ASSERTS
Secretary of Agriculture Issues
Appeal for Nation to
Help Farmers.
An appeal for "every good citizen"
o do what lie can to help the farm rs
through the period of depression.
:o f??r the sake of helping the farni r
alone. but "for the sake of helpin
sr himself." was- made yesterday
?y Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
n his first formal statement.
Prices of farm products must rise
uni prices of other products come
own before the normal relation l?ewet-n
them has been restored. Mr.
A allace asserted. Talk of bringing
>rice? back to a pre-war level, he
icclared, "is morally wrong: and eco omically
impossible," adding: that
'everybody would l>e better off" if
in effort were made to bring about
. lovol "tto i- TO i???e r^nl above
he pre-war normal."
Farmer* Suffering.
Secretary Wallace said he doubted
A'^iether the people in the east
realize jist what has hapl>ent-d to
he farmers of the producing secions.'
Citing conditions in the cenra!
west as an example, he said that
here, notwithstanding thai * we have
he finest rural civilization, taken us
l whole, the world" has ever seen."
he farmers are r.ow in "a most tryng
period and are .suffering severe
inancial losses." Farmers through>uf
the nation, especially those in
he south and west, he added, "are
experiencing exactly the same trou)le."
This widespread agricultural depression
results from the high cost of proluetion
and because farm products ha\e
Iropped "out of all proportion" to the
>rices of other things, Mr. Wallace said.
'While the farmer." he continued, "is
idling the things he produces at prices
10 higher and for great surplus crops
ower than the pre-war normal, he must
>uy practically everything he needs at
rices from 50 to l"?o per cent above tlie
ire-war normal. As long as such a
ond.lion continues." he added, the ' sfcere
agricultural depression i?t*??tTeviable,"
and it will certainly be comnumcati-d
"to industry and business
generally."
Department Would Aid.
"It is a terrible indictment of our
nodern civilization," Mr. Wallace aslerted.
"when this great country is in
he period of what might almost be
railed economic chaos because of our
jreat surplus food supply, while across
he seas, in both directions, almost half
he world is suffering for want of food.
,f our statesmen had given more thought
o getting the world back on a sound
economic basis, and perhaps had spent
ess time on idealistic schemes and
heories, they would have rendered a
jreat contribution to the peace and
rderliness and happiness 01 tne people
>f the earth."
The department, the Secretary >aid.
vou Id do everything possible to find
tn outlet for the great food surplus.
A'ays of producing more cheaply.
iew uses for surplus crops and beter
marketing systems. he said,
vouid help the situation.
Kvervthing which influences proluction
and price must be considered,
the Secretary said?eompetiion
from foreign lands where the
itaudards of living are lower than
icre. world conditions of supply and
lernand. administration of the credit
nachinery and of the transportation
lystem. Those who control the
inanres of the country have the
?ower to influence, either directly or
ndirectly. through credit extension,
i large amount of control over prices

"In short, the people of the nation
nust. come to understand that our
prosperity as a nation depends upon
i prosperous and wholesome agri;ulture."

in a position to spt-ak that neither of
the nominee* own any stock in any
of the public utility companies.
The section of the public utilities
law dealing with the qualifications of
members of the commission reads as
fol lows:
"No Commissioner shall l?e directly

utility or in any stock. bond, mortgage,
security, or contract of any
such public utility: and if any such
Commissioner shall voluntarily hecome
so interested his ottlce shall ipso
facto become vacant: and if any such
Commissioner shall become so interested
otherwise than voluntarily he
shall, within a reasonable time, divest
himself of such interest, arid if he
fails so to do. his office shall become
vacant. Before entering upon the
duties of his office each Commissioner
i lie secretary of the commission, the

of office, and shall in addition thereto
make oath or xaffir'nat ion before and

Court of the District of Columbia

voluntarily or involuntarily, in any

Both Mr. liudolph and f'apt. Oyster
declined last night to discuss their

fact that the Senate had not acted

BRUNSWICK. Ga? March 12.?A pistol
and sholguri battle, in which
four men took part, one being killed,
was staged five miles from this city
tonight, when Constables I. W. Rhoden

a moonshine still.
William Boatright was killed, Con- f

wounded that his death Is expected ^
in a few hours, and J. S. Hendricks
is seriously wounded. Norria escaped

injury.
As the two officers approached the "
still, which, according to county officials.
was operated by Boatright and m
Hendricks, thev were commanded to
halt. They refused to obey orders
and as they advanced they faced the ta

to President Harding last night by ^

Mr. UVitlake'a View*. f(

last night for a statement, said:

"The fact that the Commissioners of j,

expression of this opposition will be at
