Revolvers When Fooled.

There were six OF them, according

United States Marshal John Moran

They Were Six.
They were siX-threc women and

stumbled from view behind the sky
line and the husbandmcn have ceased
their toll for the day, vending their
weary ways across the stubblc 10 the
barn yard. thence to "A sumptuous re-
past and later to an undisturbed
slumbcr.
As far as the eye could see the
great blue canopy of heaven spread
Ia the east. to the west to the north
and likewise to the south. Twas II
wonderful evening In the wonderful
month of June and perhaps as the
vehicle sped down the dusty country
highway bound for the city the occu-
pants hummed little songs.
Danger Is Near.
From the north came the roar OF
another automobile travelling swiftly
and in the same direction. As the car
drew closer The roar became more
pronounced and the six occupants
were alert when the car came from
behind, making an effort to pass In
front of the conveyance occupied by
the seekers of rest and quiet after a
busy day
Sensing danger the driver. a young
attorney. stepped heavily on the in
strument that controls the flow Of
gasoline, whereupon his engine obeyed
the summons. leaping away into the
night. Thereupon race ensued be-
tween the two ears and as the car
driven by the attorney began leaving
the pursuers in the dim distance n re-
volver barked once, twice. thrice and
perhaps the foiled highwaymen gave
voice to indignant profanity as the
fleeing car turned a distant curve and
was lost to view.
For reasons not made public, the
marshal refused to divulge the names
OF the persons who had experienced
wild night ride with n band of our
lawless men as their pursucrs, had
listened to the scream OF leaden pei
lets fired from the barrel of n re-
volver and had lived to tell the story
TO federal peace officer.
They Tell John.
Fearing. II had been United States
officers beating the county for booze
haulers. the attorney called Moran to
his office to relate the experience and
to explain. had they been United
States men, that there had been no
intention to escape having the car
searched bat merely to escape having
bandits plunder the vehicle and the
pockets OF the occupants.

AND IS MARRIED AT LAST
Francisco Arryo, Mexican, Needs In
tcrprctcr and More Age to

It's an old tale that true love ne'er

All arrangements were made for the
marriage and Arryo betook himself to
the courthouse to procure license to

he was powerless to transact any busi-
ness because he could not speak
word Of English.
Several days passed before he could
arrange with an interpreter to accom-
pany him. Again approaching the
marriage license clerk. Arryo, thru
his spokesman, demanded a license II
developed that he was only 20 years
of age and therefore ineligible to
marry without the consent of his par
ents in faraway Mexico.
A month passed. Arryo celebrated
his twenty-first birthday last Sunday,
and yesterday he brought his inter-
prefer to finally negotiate for a mar
rage license.

According to Fred Partsman, col

have been well. but after riding about

For some cause or another the two
men decided to walt until they

fatal. Not only was their liquor CON

Bcasely and lodged IN the city Jail.
In municipal court yesterday after
noon both were fined s25. II dcvel-
oped that January had taken the
automobile from the owl garage
without permission and 1t is likely
that he may face charge of theft
OF the machine following his release
from the city Jail. Herschel johnson
had been arrested in connection with
the theft but was released when evil

CL0TURE THREATS
BRINGS RESULTS
Senators Agree to Consider
Prohibition When Force
Is Exerted.

WASHINGTON, July b.-With a
resort to the cloture rule threatened.
the senate by unanimous consent late
today agreed to begin considerable
OF the prohibition section and of any
amendments or substitutes of the
food bill at 2 o'clock tomorrow after
noon with debate limited.
Final disposition of the prohibition
issue before Adjournment tomorrow
night and passage of the bill next
week seems assured Senator Cham
ferlain. in charge OF the measure,
announced that Saturday he would
seek another unanimous consent
agreement for final vote not later
than Thursday and believed II would
be obtained without cloture. Forty
two senators have signed the cloture
measure, which required only Is sig
natures.
Prohibition the Issue
When prohibition Is taken up to-
morrow each speech will be limited
TO ten minutes on the Gore prohibi-
tion anne ndment. prohibiting manu-
facture of distilled beverages during
the war and giving the president au-
thority to suspend manufacture of
malt, fermented or vinous intoxicants
and to limit their alcoholic contents.
on amendments and substitutes for
the Gore plan each speech will be
limited TO five minutes.
All formal steps for decisive and
spirited struggle on prohibition have
been taken. Senator Robinson intro
duced today the so-called "adminis-
tration compromise substitute for
the Gore plan. providing only that
distillation of foodstn'fs for intoxi-
eating beverages shall lease.
Private polls of the senate, leaders
or both factions admitted p.."ately,
tonight indicated large majority for
the Robinson substitute. II was drawn
by Senator Martin, Democratic leader.
and is Identical with that originally
offered by Senator Chamberlain and
rejected by the senate agriculture
committee in favor of the Gore
amendment.
Power Extended.
The senate late today adopted Sem
ator kenyon's amendment TO n sec
ton of the bill greatly extending the
governments power to purchase and
sell supplies at reasonable prices. I'm
der the amendment in addition to
foods, feed and fuel. the government
would he authorized to buy and sell
at minimum prices fixed by the fed
eral authorities all other ''neces-
saries" named in the bill.
Pefore passage Of the bill n deter
mined effort will be made to broaden
II so as to insure that the government
will have power to regulate coal
prices and to take over and operate
coal mines. Many leaders believe,
however. that some of the "neces-
saries" now included In the bill for
governmental regulation, such as cot
ton, wool, iron and steel and other
products. will be eliminated and left
for future legislation.

The Hamilton club oil Cnlcago
appeals to all patriotic Amer
leans to join with it i'm a country
wide campaign for conserving
the present limited supply Of po-
taloes of the country for planting
purposes.
In recent address before the
Hamilton club, Eugene H. Grubb,
the well-known agricultural eN-
pert of the Union Pacific railway,
who is regarded as the leading
American expert on potato Gull
thre, made the startling an
nouncement that if all the peta-
toes in the United States were
planted this spring they would
moi produce a sufficient crop to
meet the needs of the country.
The leading agricultural edi-
tors have corroborated this state
ment and agree that such is the
concensus of opinion among we'll
informed agriculturists and 9TH
ers who are best qualified to
Nspeak on the subject.
In view of this perilOus situa-
ltion and the probability OF an un-
precedented shortage in the food
supply before the end of the year,
it is not only the part of wisdom,
but a patriotic duty of every
American citizen to employ every
reasonable and proper means at
his command for the production
and conservation of our most val
liable food commodities.
Potatoes will be eliminated
from the Hamilton club menu
during the planting season, which
does not end in the majority of
The northern states until about
June 1st, and in others not until
about the first of July; and an
urgent appeal is hereby made to
,all patriotic citizens TO abstain
lrom eating potatoes during the
months of May and June, and to
/, use their influence to induce their
friends to do likewise.
| Those who think they must
have potatoes. and can afford the
luxury, should draw only upon
the new crop now coming to mar
ket from the south. New pota-
toes (this years crop cannot be
effectively used for planting.
1t has been asserted by the
most eminent German economists
], that the success or failure of the
German armies may depend this
year upon the size of Germany's
potato crop, and, every possible
effort is being put forth in tina
war-ridden country TO insure an
extraordinary yield of potatoes.
The food problem is a present
and growing national problem. i
is problem in which every man
! woman and child in America is
,vitally interested--and to it's So
luton every one can and should
contribute his hit.
1 All clubs, hotels, restaurants
and all patriotic citizens are urg-
ed to give their active assistance
to this movement, in order not
only that potatoes may be saved
for planting, but also as a direct
means of bringing about reduc-
tion of price. later in the year, by
increasing The production.
/! The need is urgent. Now is
the time for action. Volunteer
Immediately in the army of serv-
ers and savers. Do your part
/ however small it may appear, in
this great national emergency. II
will help.
Stop eating potatoes yourself
