ON BORDEN'S CASE
Regular Army Officer Docllnos
to Testify at Trenton
Hoaring
SAYS RECORD IS U.S.SECRET
Bu a Staff Corrmpoiidoif
Trenton, April 0. nriundler Gen
eral William S. Graves, Tnitd Stated
armj, who ua( to have been principal
witness at the Marker lejhlatlre com
mittee InTP'tlitatlon into the appoint
ment' of Brigadier General Howard S.
Borden to the command of New Jemey
National Guard infntitry, respectfully
declined to testify this afternoon.
General Graves, r dtstlnmjlithrd
aoldler of the regular Army nnd com
manding officer of the Hlherian expedi
tionary force, was chairman of the
military board which examined Gen
eral Ttarden to pass upon bin fltnris,
1 JIo was called ns the chief witness
J and was expected to produce the rec
i ords of General Horden's examination. '
When he took the stand he fluked to be
permitted to make a prefatory Mate
went. When permission wu given lie
said : (
"It may be that this committtec will
wan to ilk me to produce certain rec
ords nnd divulge certain Information
concerning General Tlorden'a examina
tion. As this information came to me In
my official rapacity, and an thec rec
ords are official documents for trans
minsloii to the War Department, I nm
not permitted to answer any questions
wlthont hlghe rauthority. If yon gen
tlemen wish to auk me for what Infor-
latlnn Is nt my disposal, I Khali be
lad to request permlision from the
'ar Department to comnlv with tout
wishes."
Hearing Nearly flrohen I'p
For the time being General Graves'
atatemtnt fairly broke up the hearing,
and was decided to adjourn at the
call of tr.c chair. This wan reconsid
ered a few minutes later and It was
decided to hear other testimony.
General Borden had been expected to
attend today's rotating, but was not
present. Ills attorney, Kdwln K. Wil
son, former attorney general of the
state, informed tbo committer that he
had advised the genernl to May away,
because be should have more time to
prepare bis case.
"The general was not at the last
meeting, ,r wild his attorney, "becaueo
the subpoena did not rench him In time.
He was anxious to come today, but I
advised against it. I have not been
able to get a transcript of the ".estlmony
at the last hearing, and this Is essential
to our presentation of the case.
"This committee is meeting to deter
mine what 1 wrong with the New Jer
sey National Guard. There seems to be
an opinion that General Borden is what
Is wrong with the guard. In view of
this, he should have every opportunity
to state his side of the case."
Borden to Have Personal Honrlng
Mr. WINon demanded that he be
given the right to cross-examine wit
nesses before the committee, but this
wns denied. He declared this was "un
wise, un-American and in violation of
every principal of the square deal."
Senator Mackey said that General
Borden would have every opportunity
to make the fullest statement he might
desire, and might indicate any witnesses
he wished summoned on his behalf, but
the committee could not eet & precedent
by permitting the cross-examination of
wiffiesRes by his attorney.
The general counsel sold also that
there seemed to be a disposition to bring
into the rase thn sums that General
Borden bad made from his factory dur
ing the war, but that this could be in
no way germane to me rose, and he
would right the introduction of matters
he deemed "extraneous and Imperti
nent." Here is General Borden'fi militarv
career, according to the official records:
Mr. Borden enlisted as a private in a
New Jersey Home Ouard regiment In
101B. and before 8 o'clock that same
night was commissioned a captain.
Then the "Second Heavy New Jer
sey Field Artillery" was organized and
Mr. Borden was promoted to colonel In
command. Governor Kdge offered the
reclment to the War Denartment. The'i,.,. fmr nn ,,f tlieir .,imi,r h..i
offer was rejected becauce the War Do-
partment declared the officers knew
nothing cither about heavy artillery or,
military affairs genernllj. I

EVENING PUBLIC
WALLACE PLEDGES
AIO TO FARMERS
Secretary Tolls Convention
Help Should Be Given to Sell
ing as to Production
MARKETING PLAN OUTLINED
By the Associated Press
Chicago, April (I. Ths Department
of Agriculture should lend the same aid
to farmers In marketing their crops as
It docs in their production. Secretary
. Wnllnre declared today In an address
here before the Fanners' Grain Mnrkelv
,lng Committee of Seentecn. "There is
just as much reason." he sold, "why
i the department should assist the tarmsr
1 in developing methods of marketing Ills
i crops effectually that it should assist
him In Increasing his production,"
Studv of Improved marketing methods
n well ns of conditions the farmer
should understand to produce Intelli
gently and "adjust his production to
the needs of consumption," the secre
tary i-aid, "are proper functions of the
t'er.nrtment."
The department "should turn on the
light." he continued. "II there nre
polntf along the way at which there is
tttinifrsRnrv waste, that should be made
known. If there are men along the
way who are tnklng too much toll for
the rcrvicc thev render, that also should
be made known A plentiful supply of
food nt prices which arc just to both
producer and consumer Is vital to our
nntionnl welfnre, nnd It Is a proper
function of the government to do what
it can to Insure it."
Mnst Be Kcadjustmcnt
Information of world production nnd
consumption is "especially useful und
necessary," the secretary declared, to
nli' farmers in deciding "In what quan
tities given commodities should be pro
duced In order that there mny be an
iidequato supply." It is coming to be
recogulxcd, he .ssid, that if prices are
to be satisfactory "there must bo a
right adjustment of production to mar
ketlic conditions."
While not discussing the committee's
marketing plan In detail, the agricul
ture lecretary said it appeared to hare
prolted by practical experience of the
past and to have avoided the weak
newtr which had broken down many
previous organizations.
Calling attention to the current low
prices for farm products while "prac
tically everything the farmers buy is
from 00 to 100 per cent abovp pre-war
normals," Secretary Wallace said it
"Is not stranp that thousands of them
should be willing and ready to adopt
drajtic measures to correct a condition
wh'ch Is so grossly unjust and which
Is canting widespread hardship and
suffering."
Will Curb Speculation
Complete machinery by which farmers
of the country mny take oer the
marketing of their grain on a ro
opcr.tthe basis was laid before the con
ference by the committee of seventeen
to ratify plnns.
Curbing of speculation In grain is set
forth In the final report of the com
mittee ns one of the chief alms of the
proposed plans. Declaring that there
was a speculation in grain that "almost
staggers all human comprehension," the
committee said thnt In its judgment the
"only adequate remedy" was for the
farmers to "enter extensively into the
business of grain distribution, mer
chandising grain as the products of
other Industries are merchandised."
Establishment of a corporation known
as the United States (train Growers,
Inc., Is provided for. By-laws of the
corporation and contracts binding
farmerH who enroll, were submitted.
Pressure from several quarters for
Lconipuisory pool ng oi grain nm not
succeed in winning indorsement. The
plan calls for pooling at option.
Nalient details of the contract feature
of the plan are these:
There are two contracts, the first
running from the former to the farmers'
co-opcratlvo elevator, the second from
! the elevator to the central aaencv.
Tb farmer signing the contract must
sell his grain cxclusUcly to these
agencies lor nvc years, renewable there-
after from ear to year.
The farmer has reserved absolute
option ns to which of thc two contracts
he may sign.
If either of the two optional methods
in the contract proves unlawful, It is
stated that it automatically will be
Htrhkcn from the contract, the balance
standing
1'roriMon also Is made for establish-
, ment of subsidiary corporations, inelud
ing un export corporation, n warehouse
corporation, an organisation to pur-
fbe Mti in exchanges and a finance

military band played the Hungarian na
tional anthem and the crowd uncovered

voices. While the hymn was being
sung, Charles descended from his train
and stood, raolst-eycd, among thc
people whom he claims as subjects.
When the guards on board the special
train gave the signal for starting,
Charles re-entered his car, waving fare
well, calling out:
"Au revolr, my faithful."
The message received here states the
crowd shouted back:
"Your majesty, come back as soon
as possible."
