RIflID INVKSTIHATION INTO
DKATH OF 0E11MAX PASTOR
Antafconlsm Aroused by Utterances on
War Blamed for Murder
OAnV, Ind., Aug. IS.-A sweeping In
vestigation waa started today Into the
death of the Rev. F.dmtind KRj'ser, ras
tor of the St. James Evangelical Lu
theran Church, who waa found mysteri
ously stain near his home last night. An
tagonism among Blavtsn steel workers
against the pastor for hla pro-German ut.
terances Is believed by the police to
have been responsible for the crime.
A month ago the Rev. Mr. Kayser ap
pealed to the police for permission to
carry a revolver. Ills request was do-
nled and his congregation formed an
escort for him from his home to the
churoh.
The pastor was nlone In his home when
attached. No bloodstains were found In
the house, but the furniture was over
turned, showing that n struggle had
taken place. Curtain cords were around
his neck and one around his right wrist
when his body was found 30 feet from
the house.
Two bullet wounds, one through the left
shoulder and the other through the neck,
which severed nn nrtery, wero found by
the Coroner.
MARKETING PROBLEM
CLAIMS ATTENTION OF
VEGETABLE GROWERS
Speakers nt Economic Confer
ence at Byberry Seek a So
lution to Difficulties Con
fronting the Farmer
STATEMENTS RECORDED
A new movement for the scientific study
of tho problem of marketing Is being
started today nt the economic conference
on the city farms nt IJyborry under the
direction of tho Philadelphia Vegetable
Glowers' Association. .
This Is the second and Inst day of tho
conference, nnrj it is being given over
entirely to the consideration of the prob
lems of the farmer. It Is more than a
mere speech-making meeting, for every
stntement Is expected to bear directly on
the problem In hand and Is being recorded
sitnogrnphlcally. A commission -vlll bo
appointed ut the conclusion of the day's
sessions to make a digest of the speeches
and endenvor to bring about whatever
changes ate deemed necessary to protect
tho farmer from losses In tho future such
as he has experienced this season In splto
of plentiful crops.
Men engaged In every branch of labor
bearing on fnrmlng are speaking nt the
conference, nnd discuss the problem ns
they see It from their particular view
point. The farmers themselves nro to
spenk, ns well ns bankers, commission
merchants, retailers of fruit and vege
tables, representatives of the consumer
and of the city and nntlonnl governments.
Because of. the light bolng thrown on
ttie marketing question, the meeting Is ex
pected to be of national Importance. It Is
attracting the attention of the Federal
Government, nnd It was nt tho request of
Charles J. Urand, chief of the Ilureau of
Markets, In the Department of Agricul
ture, that stenographic notes nro being
taken.
Three representatives of the department-!
D. Unit, J. A.- Rite and V. A.
Sherman contended that while the con
sumer was paying high prices, the farmer
was not getting high prices for his prod
uct. They urged tha the middleman bo
eliminated or put under control. It was
asseited that the farmers were up In
arms against the middleman, nnd sug
gested that tho prices to consumers be
lowered, so as to Increase the consump
tion of vegotubles, The spenkers advo
cated a plan to reorganize the distribu
tion of products in the big cities.
II. I. Kestcr, n farmer of Newtown.
Pa., agreed with this suggestion and de
clared that the high cost of living was
not due to the farmers.
Harry Taylor, Secretary of the New
Jersey Horticultural Society, said: "1
don't think we nro producing too much,
but tho trouble Is we are not gettlm?
enough for our crops. Thousands of has
kets of vegetables nre going to waste.
They nre not worth digging. The con
sumers are paying fair prices, but we are
not getting tho money."
Tho middleman Is responsible for the
wholo situation, according to Charles V.
Baldwin, clerk of markets In the Ilureau
of City Property. "We should modify his
influence," he said; "we cannot eliminate
him, for he Is a necessary evil.
"While It Is true that M per cent, of
the middlemen take advantage of the
farmer, he Is nlso partially to blame.
When tho fnrmer gets an opportunity to
sell direct' to the consumer, he sells at
ridiculously nigh prices because he Is
greedy and suspicious."
The problem of the farmer will be
taken up by the eighth annual conven
tion of the Vegetable Growers' Associa
tion of America, which will meet In
Cleveland, O., September 7, 8 and 9. The
results of todny'a conference may be pre
sented nt that convention for considera
tion. The hntterlen rt mnnv ft 4ti& ,n..lr...

huh- mure inner man ever, lo urlvo them
out of business, and to promote tho Idea
of selling direct.
The theftrv nf Holllnir (tlrnt en... ....
to consumer la receiving especial atten
tion, and Is being urged by Charles W.
Baldwin, cletk of markets In the Bureau
of City Property.
ine question of credit for the farmer Is
not being overlooked. Several repre
sentatives of banking Institutions which
deal with farmers are ptesent, among
them Charles fl. Calwell, president of the
Corn Bxchnnge National Bnnk, J. v.
Wilson, president of the Sixth .National
Bank, and tardner Howell, of the fllrord
Trust Company
Many conflicting opinions are. In evi
dence and suggestions as to the' solutions
of the various farming problems vary,
Howard W Helby, president of the Penn
sylvania Vegetable Growers' Association
and secretary of the Philadelphia Asso
ciation, blames It on a lack of scientific
study ot the problems,
"The trouble with farmers," he aald,
"Is that most of them do not apply busi
ness principle to their work. They are
dumping their products on the city
markets rather than marketing after a
BQlentltlc study ot the Held. Of course, It
Is ridiculous to think of solvlhg these
problems In a discussion lasting only five
hours, and as a result we will .appoint a
urtMrnlialnn fliA vi..mlia.. .t , L.i ...in

have further opportunity to study tho
liruuirm, niiv-r uigrawiiB; iutiu;y a speecnes,
when they attend the national convention
next month, and great things are ex
pected." This la a half holiday for grocers of
the city and many of them Imva signified
their Intention' to attend the afternoon
sessions.

PHOTOPLAY DIRECTORS
TO SHARE PROFITS
World Film Corporation to Put
Its Producing Staff on
Royalty Basis
By the Photoplay Editor
One of tho most radical developments In
the moving picture Industry is content
nlntait hv th World Film CotTotntlon.
It Is nothing more nor less than to put the
producing end of the business on a profit
sharing basis. The Idea la one of the pet
schemes of Louis J. Sclznlck, vice presi
dent and a-eneral manager of the com
pany. It formed the chief topic of dlacus
atnn n rornnt dinner of tho executive
committee. Othera who were present
were the various representatives from tho
Interests allied with the parent corpora
tion nnd tho directors who produco tho
pictures.
Mr. Sclznlck explained the plnn In detail
to those present. The main features are
that Instead of employing the directors on
a salary basis, they will be given a draw
ing account, and will be made n partner
In tho pictures they produco to tho extent
of 20 per cent, of tho pronts. It Is be
lieved thnt this plnn will bring Into effect
a large saving In the production of plc-

Kssanny burned down nn entire photo

feature. "Tho Man Trnll," adapted from
tho recently published novel by Henry
Oven. It wus n lumber camp town at
"Tho Pines." a few miles from WaUKe
gHii, III. Tho village, consisting of n
score of houses nnd several large bunk
rooms for lumber Jocks, wns built espe
iii.. ... nnnn in thn tiinv. Several
carloads of lumber were shipped from
Chicago for tho purpose. The llnal scene
is the firing of the village. The blaze
leaped from shnck to shack, nil of which
wero constructed of wood, nnd the entire
town was soon reduced to nshes. Tho
flames could be seen for miles around, nnd
farmers nnd residents of nearby towns
were bndly frightened by the conflagra
tion. This drama will bo released through
tho V. I.. S. K.. Inc. In September.
The Motion Picture News hns this to
sn editorially concerning the recent cen
sorship case In this city::
"That tho 'Secret Orchard' decision ot
the Court of Common Pleas In Philadel
phia mnrks tho turning point 'In the mo
tion picture's light, to rid Itself of tho
censorship Incubus is n conclusion hard
to leslst.
"It may bo premature to Bay this with
nssurancc. But nt all events, tho dato
of tho decision deserves recognition n.s
the Independence IJny' of the motion
picture industry.
"If the producers themselves hnd been
allowed to pick the picture upon which
the censors should dash themselves to
pieces, no film better constructed to ex
pose their censorial stupidity and utter
Ignorance of oven their own business
could hnvo been found than 'The Secret
Orchard.
"Some of tho testimony given by mem
hers of the censor board verged upon tho
ridiculous. Hnd there even been a stan
dard of Illness by which a censor conld be
nppointcd to office, they would have been
convinced of Incompetency out of their
own mouths.
"This sort of censorship needs little
or nn opposition. It Is killing Itself by
Its own excesses nhd extravagances. As
long as tho censors nre what they nro.
the Industry can afford to watch, wnit
and, at tho proper time, strike and strlko
hard!"

Police Court Chronicles
Suggestions for settling tho European
war may bo welcomed by the contesting
countries, but they nro not nulto so In
teresting to persons living near Front
and Oxford street, especially during the
quiet hoilra of the night.
Regardless of tho feelings of the people
In the matter, however, three men, who
ate on a furlough from the Du Pont pow
der works, discussed tho war situation In
tho mldrilo of tho street. They used
bricks nnd boxes to show the positions ot
tho contending armies and denounced
each other when tho argument reached
a heated stage.
One of tho trio, who carried a leather
bag, tried to show how bombs should be
set off In order to Inflict tho most dam
age, llo placed the bag In the street and
drew a circle around It. Some one who
heard the talk and saw the dark object
was sure It was a real bomb and sum
moned three cops. They surrounded the
debaters and took them to the Front and
Master streets station.
The prisoners gave their names as John
