EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC.—November 26. messen¬ 
gers who had just drawn $28,000 for the 
payroll of the H. G. Walton & Co. fac¬ 
tory, at Chelsea, Mass., were attacked 
apd robbed by five bandits in an automo¬ 
bile. ()ne of the thieves was wounded 
in the fight, and three of the men were 
arrested later. James Luna, John Dubok 
and John Petkewiez. the latter being ar¬ 
rested at Detroit, Mich. Nearly ail the 
money was recovered in the men’s pos¬ 
session. 
Joseph M. Neenan, labor leader and 
president of the National Glass Workers; 
the Johnston P>rokerage Company of 
Pittsburgh and 102 other defendants, in¬ 
cluding the leading window glass manu¬ 
facturers of the country, were indicted 
November 28 at New York by the retir¬ 
ing Federal Grand Jury, which has been 
investigating evidence produced in the 
sessions of the Lockwood investigating 
committee in regard to the actions of 
labor and manufacturers of building ma¬ 
terials. The corporations named in the 
indictment comprise about two-thirds of 
the window glass industry of the coun¬ 
try. The defendants named in the in¬ 
dictment are all charged generally with 
formation or participation in a conspir¬ 
acy and combination to suppress compe¬ 
tition. maintain excessive and extortion¬ 
ate prices and to curtail the production 
and supply cf window glass, thereby ar¬ 
bitrarily controlling its sale, shipment 
and delivery into this district as well as 
to other States. 
Four persons were killed and many 
others injured in a fire in the Rialto The¬ 
ater. New Haven, Conn., November 27. 
The theater was an old frame building. 
The fire apparently started from oil lamps 
hung near the wooden ceiling. 
Warning against “home” motion pic¬ 
ture machines and all toys and other con¬ 
trivances _ that make use of inflammable 
film was issued November 20 by the New 
5 ork Hoard of Fire Underwriters. “In¬ 
flammable films for use in toy motion 
picture machines are being sold in New 
York City, and all persons are especially 
warned against the use of this inflamma¬ 
ble film, in violation of law and fire in¬ 
surance contract,” said the board’s state¬ 
ment. “In addition to this the danger of 
causing death or injury is imminent.” 
A jury before Supreme Court Justice 
Lazansky in Brooklyn November 29 de¬ 
cided that Dr. Victor W. Crossman, den¬ 
tist. must pay 83.500 for allowing an ex¬ 
tracted tooth to fall through Mrs. Cora 
Minns’ windpipe in f o her left lung. Pneu¬ 
monia subsequently developed and Mrs. 
Minns died. The verdict was $2,000 to 
Mrs. Minns’ estate and $1,500 to her hus¬ 
band, George R. Minns, for loss of her 
services. 
Fire in the Jandorf Auto Company 
building. Broadway and 55th Street. New 
York. November 20. caused $40,000 loss 
and injuries to 16 firemen. 
Six men are known to- l>ave been 
crushed to death and 26 injured, includ¬ 
ing one woman, when the walls and roof 
of the American Theater, in .course of 
construction at 770 to 787 Bedford Ave¬ 
nue, Brooklyn, collapsed November 20. a 
few minutes after the crew of about 40 
workmen had returned from luncheon. 
Four men were missing and may still be 
buried in the ruins. Two of the injured 
are not expected to survive. The woman. 
Mrs. Josephine Page, who was eating 
unch with her husband. Edward, in their 
iome immediately adjacent, to the north 
wall of the theater when the collapse 
came, saw the second floor of their home 
fall in upon them, but neither suffered 
fatal injuries. Both, however, were se¬ 
verely cut about the head, face and body. 
Their frame house is a wreck. 
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, convicted 
draft evader, through his mother-, Mrs. 
Fnima C. Bergdoll of Philadelphia. No¬ 
vember 20 filed suit in the Supreme Court 
of the District of Columbia for return of 
property valued at $750,000 seized by the 
government. The petition set forth that 
Bergdoll is a citizen of the United States, 
regards his stay in Germany as “tem¬ 
porary” and expects to return to this 
cou ntry. 
Frederick J. Kelly, a former internal 
revenue collector, was sentenced to serve 
one year and a day in the Federal prison 
at Atlanta November 28 by Judge A. N. 
TIand in the United States District Court, 
New York, having pleaded guilty to the 
embezzlement of $28,500 in Treasury cer¬ 
tificates while in charge of the uptown 
office of the Internal Revenue Depart¬ 
ment. 
Frank Lux. 15-year-old Shelbyville 
(Ind.) boy, won the sweepstakes in the 
junior corn contest at Chicago November 
20 at the International Grain and Hay 
Show. The judges declared his 10-ear 
sample the best ever exhibited there. In 
a previous junior contest in Indiana the 
boy raised 101.6 bushels of corn on a 
single acre. District winners in the con¬ 
test, for which a special premium list 
was offered by the Chicago Board of 
Trade in addition to the $10,000 in prizes, 
included Eugene Troyer of Lafontaine, 
Ind. 
The farmer, and especially the fruit 
grower has to take his chances with the 
elements. Of late years it has seemed as 
though we have had more than our share 
of freezes, storms, droughts and hail; 
and now we have something new. Up 
here in the hills of Worcester County, 
Mass., it has been raining for 80 hours, 
December 10, 1021 
and freezing as it falls. We have had 
an unprecedented ice storm that is diffi¬ 
cult to describe or exaggerate. The 
country looks like the pictures we used 
to see of the shell-torn forests of France. 
Everything that can bend, such as birches 
and young fruit trees, are flat, and every 
tree that could not bend to the ground 
is a wreck. Oaks and elms centuries old 
are stripped of their branches, and the 
mature apple orchards in this section are 
ruined. We have no news of the outside 
world as yet, but hope that this disaster 
is only local. g. h.

Farm Bureau Meeting 
Part I. 
Earnest sincerity of purpose and ab¬ 
sence of factional strife and internal poli¬ 
tics were the outstanding features of the 
American Farm Bureau Federation at 
Atlanta, Ga. More than 1.500 officers, 
delegates, visitors and onlookers, repre¬ 
senting practically every Slate,, and sev¬ 
eral foreign countries, including Switzer¬ 
land and Denmark, spent at least three 
busy days as the guests of this hospitable 
city. 
Ohio far outstripped the other States in 
the matter of size of delegation. The 
Ohio group numbered. 120, and came in 
on a special train. A number of special 
cars were made up at Chicago and other 
points. Georgia, although quite new in 
the Farm Bureau work, had some 200 
visitors at the meeting. 
President Howard reviewed the work 
of the year and set forth the problems 
with which the farmer must still wrestle. 
While Mr. Howard’s speech showed plain¬ 
ly enough that the organization had been 
most busy during the year, yet his whit¬ 
ened hair, his slightly drooping shoulders 
and his deep-lined face spoke still more 
eloquently of the struggles the organiza¬ 
tion had passed through in attempting to 
solve the farmers’ problems. 
A series of 10-minute reports by the 
heads of each of the departments of the 
federation showed the scope of the work 
under way and the extent to which the 
plans of last year have been put into ef¬ 
fect. To most people present this was 
something of a revelation. They had not 
realized the variety and range the work 
of the federation had already assumed. 
The treasurer’s report showed that the 
expenses had been kept well within the 
receipts, the expenses from January 1 to 
November 1 having been $239,997, and 
rhe receipts, plus cash on hand January 
1. were $273,674. The most discouraging 
feature of the year was disclosed freely 
and frankly by the reports of the secre¬ 
tary and the treasurer, that many mem¬ 
berships had not been renewed, and many 
States were delinquent in a portion of 
their dues. In some States the member¬ 
ship renewals had fallen off as much as 
25 per cent, but this was not general. 
The earlier figures of the secretary, show¬ 
ing more than a million members, were 
revised to read 967.279, as of September 
1, 1921. On December 1 last year the 
number was 744.400. This shows an in¬ 
crease of 222,878 members for the nine 
months. Nine States were added to the 
federation during this period. The funds 
actually received as paid in from the 
States on September 15. 1921, represented 
521,703 members. More than this has 
been collected, but at that time had not 
been turned over to the national officers. 
The election of officers, usually one of 
the high points in the convention, was a 
rather tame affair. In sharp contrast to 
the Indianapolis convention was the en¬ 
tire lack of electioneering. This was 
partly due to the fact that the election 
was held on the evening of the first, day 
before things had time to brew much, hut 
was mainly due to a general agreement 
to re-elect Mr. Howard, Mr. Bradfute 
and most of the members of the executive 
committee. Only in the eases of three 
members of the committee were there any 
contests, and these took place within the 
sectional divisions. Ralph Snyder of Os- 
kaloosa. Kan., took the place of Chester 
Gray of Nevada. Mo.; C. S. Brown of 
Tucson, Ariz., replaces W. G. Jamison of 
T.a Yeta, Colo., and H. C. McKern-, e of 
Walton, N. Y., was substituted for E. B. 
Cornwall of Middlebury, Vt.
