wanted the court to believe that he
could sit down and watch two other
boys shoot crap and with money in
his pocket and not shoot crap him

The court found It very hard to
believe, in fact it was about as hard
as believing that an Irishman and q
shilalah have no connection Someone
chrged Sam with getting into the
game because he wanted money to
take his girl to the picture show, but
Sam told Judge Pugh that he had s.
cents in his pocket when he started
TO look at the game and just as much
when the game was finished. Sam
looked a little more respectable than
most bone rollers and the court placed
him on probation.

BUSINESS MEN MUST
HEED NATIONS CALL
U. S. Chamber of Commerce Issues
War Convention Invitations.

An emergency call has gone forth
from the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States to the business
men of the country for a great war
convention to be held at Atlantic
City, September 1921. 1t is expected
to be the largest gathering of bus
iness men ever held and will show
to the world that American busi-
ness recognizes its duty in this
crisis and stands solidly behind the
government in war. Incidently the
object of the meeting will be to en-
courage our allies and strike fear
into the heart of the enemy.
Victory in the great struggle in
largely on the power, intelligence
and speed of the industry of the
United States, and our ability to
produce faster and better than ever
before, the things necessary to eff
cient warfare. This convention of
American business men should
show, not to our people alone, but
to the whole world. in what spirit
and with what determination busi-
ness faces the task ahead of US.
THE Chamber of Commerce of
the United States has gone fatty
on record against a profit out of
war" Elliot H. Goodwin, secretary
of the National Chamber, said. "It
must not be overlooked. however.
that business in peace time is con-
Quoted for profit. That is the rule
of the game. without profit it can
not live. Success of business is
measured by profit.
A principal topic OF discussion
will be the duty that business owes
the government in war. Strongest
possible emphasis will be laid upon
this. There will come the question
of how business of the country may
render even greater service in win
ming the war. This will include
what may be done to control prices,
how priority may be most quickly
and effectively established, how
greater efficiency in land and wa
ter transportation shall be de-
veloped. how we may best provide
for and protect our forces on land
and sea and those dependent upon
them at home, and what steps may
be taken for better education of the
nation on the issues at stake in the
war.

Big PARADE TO Stir
UP Fighting Spirit
Special Committee Arranging De-
tails of Big Meeting.

"The full significance of the mann.
moth parade and demonstration &c

contribution in men to the Liberty
army" said a member of the citi-
zens' committee yesterday, is MOI

ale and the fighting spirit Of the ma
ton.
washington, being the war capital
of the country. has a place in the
limellght such that a parade, with
possibly 5000 in line here. will show
the world in spectacular fashion that
the Yankees are not bluffing."
This statement was made following
| an enthusiastic conference between
high army officers. including Secretary
Baker and Gen. Crowder. and the
committee representing citizens and
trade bodies, headed by Alexander
Wolfe, at the War Department yes
terday.
A special committee of officers and
officials, including Gen. Duval, who
managed the Inauguration parade, is
now arranging the details of Uncle
Sans participation. This will in
clude quotas from the army, navy
and Marine Corps, as well as every
military band in and about the Capt.
tal officers who will likely take part
include Gen. Scott. chief of staff, and
Gen. Crowder, head of the draft.
From present indications this event
will eclipse the Preparedness parade
held. last year. in which the Presi,
dent walked down Pennsylvania ave-
nue., bearing Old Glory.
At present, all action hinges or
what moves the War Department spe.
cial committee decides to take, and
this will be made public within the
next two or three days.
The entire citizenry of Washington
including fraternal bodies, the RED
| Cross, Boy Scouts, trade bodies, patri.
otto societies, labor organizations
and In fact everybody in the Capital
is cooperating for the success of this
epochal demonstration.

just the other day Marie landed on
the back of Raymond's neck with a
big stone.
And he had her arrested. They had
been living apart, but on Monday
Raymond went TO see Marie to make
a touch" Raymond was supposed
to be supporting Marie, too. They
had some words and then some licks
passed and it seemed to the court
that both were to blame and Marie
was sent home. They didn't even
make up.
Luke Was Cosby.
Every time Luke Rose sees Emory
Jackson. he says good morning or
good night, or something like that
and Emory pays no attention. 1t isn't
because he hasn't any manners, it's
because he does not like Luke. Luke
tells tales. Emory thinFs, because he
can tell by the way his wife talks to
him that Luke has been giving Sc
crets away.
Before Emory was married he and
Luke went with the same bunch OF
girls and once in awhile since this
same bunch gets together with Emory
and Luke. OF course Mrs. jackson
didn't know about It until Luke
talked. Monday afternoon Luke spoke
to Emory as he passed up Third
street and Luke sent a brick after
him. 1t hit Emory on the calf of the
leg and he had Luke arrested. And
Luke is out S with no regrets.

The Very Idea,

Wy
Never again will Sadie Howard
attempt to fool policeman. Mon
day afternoon Sadie had an argu-
ment with another woman on Third
street southwest, and a cop sepa-
rated the two[and told Sadie If he
caught her around there again he
would lock her up. Two hours
later Sadie came back to have the
last word, but she was dressed diff
ferently and this time had on a
hat.
1t was her voice that got her
into trouble. The other woman had
forgotten all about the fuss, but
Sadie intended to refresh her mem
ory. A neighbor warned her to shut
up and go on home, but no. Sadie
must have that last word. The
cop hove in sight again and rec
ognized the voice and put it in the
wagon. Sadie took her argument
all the way to the station house
and was still fussing yesterday
morning and maybe yet at Deco
guam, because she hadn't the SIS to
pay her fine.
And the Bottle Busted,
lHey say Nndl temptation is OO
per cent of the crime. If that is
so George Monroe is half as guilty
as Peter Carter, who got arrested
Monday night for fighting after hav-
ing spent two hours in a sociable
game of cards at Georges house.
George came around and worried
Peter to death to come and join
him. Peter was sleepy and tired,
but his eyes were rather sharp yet.
George played a queer game and
Peter noticed it and after caution
ing George several time he hit him
with an empty beer bottle and scar
red up his bald head. This wouldn't
have happened If George had stayed
home and played solitaire, and now
Peter had to pay $40 just because
George wouldn't let him go to bed
like he had intended to do.

He made the mistake of panhandling

Carrie Smith only fights when she
has to, and when that time comes,
the hospitals get worked overtime.
Sunday afternoon Carrie went upstairs
to take a nap and she hadn't been
there two minutes before she heard
a knock at the door. Josie Wilkes
was downstairs waiting for her. Car
rie came down with a crouch and
Josie demanded the clothes of her
beau, who lately roomed at Carries S
house.
"Yoh kin have 'em when he pays
me nah rent said Carrie. "He
doan owe yoh no rent" replied Jo-
sic. Carrie is not given very much
to argument, and she put Josie to
sleep with a well-placed punch in the
solar plexus. When Josie got her
breath she got a warrant for Carrie
and, although Carrie still has the
clothes, she paid $40 for the privi-
lege.

 The postpOnement of the game last Friday was no incentive to bring about a friendly feeling be- tween +he two teams, and the fur ther feet that if the Bremen win tonight, it gives that aggregation four joints against the next high team of two.

 He also stated that he had sue ceeded in getting many barrels by them which they did not see at all.
 When court was called to or der this afternoon, Logan Billings ley again occupied the witness stand, and again and again told the jury that he had paid Mayor Gill sour thousand collars in cur rency on the afternoon of Au- gust thirtieth, 1916.
