Demands Enforcement Of
the Law.

Hunted Press Leased Wire Service. ]
PEORIA, H., July 10.-Blame for
| the failure Of the Lorimer-Munday
banks in Illinois today was placed on
state officials by A. L. Hegert of Chi
cago. vice president, speaking before
the convention OF Illinois Christian
Endeavor Union. He was supporting
a resolution demanding law enforce.
ment.
"The la,(ty Of law enforcement on
the part the state officials is re-
sponsible for the rotten conditions
disclosed in the Lorimer-Munday
bank scandal said Hegert. 'Hun.
dreds OF poor people, who cannot afford
the loss Of their hard earned savings
are suffering because of this failure.
And that could have been avoided II
the officials had enforced the law"
The resolution declared 1axity OF
law enforcement on the part of pub
lie officials is destroying civic ideals
and called on Governor Dunno to
back enforcement Of the law. The
resolution read in part: THAT the H.
linois Christian Endeavor Union urge
Governor Dunno rigidly to enforce In
every town and city having saloons,
the state law providing for the clos
ing OF saloons on Sunday"
Nicholas L. Johnson of Batavia, a
former member Of the legislature and
former state president Of the union,
in seconding the resolution said:
when Governor Dunno was mayor of
Chicago, a few years ago, he side-step-
ped responsibility for closing Of sa-
looms on Sunday by declaring It was
up to the state officials because it
was a state law that required their
closing. Now he is governor OF I'LL
nois and according to his own state.
ment 1t is his duty to enforce the
law"

To Keep Bacon From Curling.

"But bacon curls up SO when it is
sliced very thin" protested q young
cook when the family objected to
thick slices Of bacon. The way to
avoid that annoying curling is to have
the frying pan very hot and turn the
slices before the meat sears on tho
under side and begins to curl. BY con-
slant attention and turning the thin
nest slices can be broiled brown, crisp
and straight.-Nebraska Farmer.

OIL CORPORATION
OUSTED FROM TEXAS
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Austin. Tex, June 10.-The Pierce
Oil Corporation Of Virginia was to-
day denied the right to carry on bust-
ness in this state when the state su-
prenne court denied their petition for
a mandamus to compel F. G. Vein
ert, secretary of state, to issue them
a permit to that effect. The permit
was refused and the supreme court
upheld the refusal on the ground that
the Pierce Oil Corporation was the
successor of a defaulting corporation
the Waters Pierce Oil Company, con-
victed of violation of Texas anti trust
laws, and therefore prohibited by sta
tute from ever doing business in
Texas.
1t was pointed out by Associate
Justice Nelson Phillips. who wrote the
opinion, that the Pierce Oil Corpora
ton, shortly after it was chartered
in 1913 took over by purchase the
property of the Waters Pierce Com
pany and assumed all its obligations.
