SOLDIERS PENSION OF $4,A MONTH

Cleveland, May 12.-If you had an
annual income of s27 900, but were un-
able to do manual labor, would you
ask Uncle Sam to give you pension of
81 a month because of your incapacity
to toll with your hands? If you would
not, you are not so anxious for money
as is DR.. E. e. Beeman, whose claim to
fame is that he used to make chewing
gum, and who now demands that the
United States government raise his
pension from SIS TO $12 monthly because
''of total incapacity for manual labor" ="
despite the fact that he receives $27,-
900 yearly in dividends.
Not only does DIR. Beeman ask the
additional 81 per month. but he sees
nothing whatever unique in his request
He takes the position that he needs
the money" The doctors address may

CONFERENCE IN A
DEADLOCK ON BILL
County Convention Provision in Pri.
mary Measure Sticking
Point.

Springfield. May 12.-The five senat-
ors in the joint conference committee
have tied up the primary bill in tem-
porary deadlock. The five lined up SOL
idly for a change in the measure which
would instruct all delegates to county
conventions to vote for candidates Sc
curing a plurality vote. The alteration
would mean the defeat of the bill in
the house, so the five members from
the house took the opposite side with
the intention of sticking to the finish.
The house bill gives latitude to the
county conventions in deciding how
county candidates shall be nominated,
although it stipulates that in congress
sional, senatorial and state conven-
tions the delegates shall be bound by
the plurality vote at the primaries.
The section was so written as con-
cession to members from the country,
and by putting it in the house organ
ization secured 20 votes that would
have gone to the other side and thus
managed to pass the bill.
