\7*ICB PRESIDENT
v Curtis came out in
the open in earnest
opposition to the policies of the federal
farm board, and, in
company with Sena*
tor Arthur Capper of
Kansas, went before
Chairman Stone and
Carl Williams of the
board to urge that It
change its stand con- e*arles Curtis
c e r n i n g its wheat
holdings. The two Kansas* argued for
hours that this wheat should not be
put on the market until the price
reached 85 cents, but hfr. Stone r e fused to make any such pledge. He
did state, howejer, that the board
would not offer any of its wheat at
the present low prices. But he made
it plain that the board would abide
by its policy enunciated July 1, which
was that it would feel free to sen up
to a cumulative maximum of five million bushels a month (for the next
year.
Mr. Curtis' activity in the contro-
versy over the board's wheat bolding* has been interpreted as indicating a desire on his part to avoid renomination for the vice presidency
and to run for the Kansas senatorship which he formerly held. When
asked about his political plans, he replied "They'll not get anything out
of me for at least three months."
Senator Watson of Indiana, Republican leader of the senate, also has
been trying to Influence the farm
board, -arguing for 92 cents, which is
said to be the average price paid by
the stabilization corporation for its
wheat, as the figure below which the
board should not sell. Senator William E. Borah, insurgent Republican
of Idaho and chairman of the agricultural, committee named, at the
"progressive conference" last March,
has insisted that the board defer aU
sales until wheat goes to $1.25.

is having a pleasanter time on his
European vacation than has fallen to
the lot of Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon. Starting too late to get mixed
up in the moratorium negotiations,
Mr. Stimson arrived at Naples Tuesday on the steamship Conte Grande,
accompanied by Mrs. Stimson. He was
met by Ambassador Garrett. and, following a visit to Pompeii and Herculaneum, went to Rome by automobile.
Thurday evening he called on Premier
Mussolini at the Palazzo Venezia and
later met him at a dinner given by
the American embassy. In Mr. Stimson's honor"*the ruins of the ancient
Roman Forum, just beyond the Capitoline hill, were brilliantly lighted up

Copeland and Representative Hamilton Fish of the Empire state and

that congress begin as soon as possible the construction of all American

It was declared by the speakers
that the St. Lawrence canal was considered only because the farmers of
the Middle West wanted it for an
outlet for their surplus grain, and Mr.
Fish said the Russian wheat situation "now makes the building of a

Warsaw.—Leo Weldenberg, a tailor I

he is sixty-one years old and the owner both of a red beard and an ugly
face, he has beeri married eight times
and hid offspring number 46.
When his eighth wife appeared before a magistrate recently in a plea
for a divorce she brought witt her five

Decides to Travel.
Meantime, stories of his escapades
lengthen. Forty-three years ago Weidenberg, then a youth of eighteen, resided in Warsaw as a tailor's apprentice, known among his chums as "Red"
because of his flaming hair. He married Rebecca Fro! and during seven
years of wedlock five children were

Then he disappeared. All search
for him was in vain and his wife and
children suffered great need. Weidenberg had decided to travel. He went
to (Russia and after changing from the
Jewish faith to Rugsian orthodox, he
married a girl and begat five children.
After eight years of marriage in Russia wanderlust seized him again and

Two years later he was in Piotrkow
