1t was at thfs point that Dickey threw
his financial bombshell into the Legisla-
ture. He pointed out the fact that there
was now demanded all the money that
the Legislature had intended to raise He
handed out food for thought at short
and regular intervals. When he had fin
shed, everybody wanted to take a hand
at discussing matters, but no one could
gainsay what he had said. 1t was a case
where figures did not lie Dickey then
followed with some more swift ones. He
said that the only hope of the Territory
was the income tax that would aggregate
something like $780, 900. In case that were
declared unconstitutional the Territory
would be in a sorry plight. At the con-
clusion of his last speech, he moved that
the report from the Island of Hawaii be
consideration and reduction.
Following this, a speech in favor of
giving an appropriation to Kau was made

roads, and how she would not get it.

PARKE COUNTY REUNIONS.
Many Family Gatherings and Meet
ings This Month.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGDALE, Sept 23.-The thir-
tenth annual Woody reunion was held
Sept. 4. This family has grown to be very
numerous and is widely scattered. John
Woody and his sons. James and Thomas,
came to this country in 1923 from North
Carolina. The oldest living member is
Puth Hadley, aged lightweight, in Hen
bricks county, with whom the reunion was
held this year. Next year the family gath
ering will be at Bloomingdale.
Among the other reunions held in this
county this month were the Hutton
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. near Judson. on the
farm Of William Weatherford; Rush fam
lily, at New Discovery; McMain family,
homestead; Martin family, at Ferndale;
Myers family, near Wallace. The old set
tiers meeting and a reunion of the old and
young soldiers were also held this month.
The Ceilings family held an enthusiastic
gathering. near williamsburg. Sept. Il. A
large number of relatives and friends list
ened to an excellent literary programme.
The Rev. Mr.. Sears and wife, missionaries
TO China, are members of this family.
Charles Ceilings served "a president this
year, and =. d. Johnston had the care OF
the family tree.
Besides these family gatherings there
have been a number of soldiers reunions
during this month. Year by year the num-
Der of the veterans who remain in the land
or the living grows less. So noticeably
small were some of these gatherings this
season that in the future a joint reunion
will be held by members of Companies A
and i OF the Thirty-first Regiment, A of
the Fourteenth, II OF the Twenty-frst
and A OF the Eighty-ifth Regiment. The
annual reunion Of Company b, OF the One
Observation-Disclosures, will be held next

MANY CRITICISMS PASSED.
French Fetes Not I'D TO Expectations
-Levantine Questions Discussed.

LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Times. commenting on the
Cars visit to France, says:
Criticisms are passing on the organiza-
ton of the fetes. The four miserable little
steamers which conveyed the Presidents
guests, the members of the French Parlia-
ment and the members of the press from
Dunkirk resulted in much sea~sickness, and
eXasperated those on board. The neglect
which followed was still more striking.
EX-President Casimir-Perier was invited to
Fridays fete and dinner at Compiegne
and Saturdays review at Bethany, yet no
provision was made TO give him lodging.
He was, therefore. obliged to decline the
invitation to the dinner and fete and to
be present at the review only.
1T is also said that Nine. Loubet and
the CZarina never drove in the same car
riage. The explanation given is that the
CZarina could not forget her imperial rank,
whereas the Car was willing, with perfect
good grace, to forget his considerable ele-
vatiOn.'
appears that of the French whom he met
the Car was only impressed by NJ. Wal
deck-Rousseau, the premier. to whom he
constantly appealed for Information. The
Car was also deeply impressed by the
President, especially by the characters
tic calmnesS of his replies"
The Car and the French ministers dis
cussed mainly the near Eastern questions.
especially the relations between France
and Turkey and the future of Armenia.
which Russia declares must become a
Russian protectorate or continue its pres
ent miserable existence"
