ing Of the merchants and business
men held Saturday afternoon at
the city hall it was decided to
conform to the order in every
way and the decision was strict
ly adhered to. The pool halls and
theatres were allowed to remain
open on Monday but were closed
Tuesday instead. The order came
somewhat as a shock to the men
in business here and at other
points on the range but all
adapted themselves to the clos
ing order and no one suffered.
Every Monday will be kept the
same way until the last Monday
in March and patrons of the bus
mess houses should govern them
selves accordingly.

MARSEILLES YOUTH
SHOOTS SELF AFTER
REJECTION BY ARMY

Paul Hale, aged twenty-five years,
WAS found dead yesterday morning al
the B. f. 0sgoO3 machine shop in
Marseilles. with a pistol wound in his
right temple and an empty package OF
paris green by his side. Hale, TO make
sure OF death. had swa lOwed the
poison before shooting himself. The
Young man is supposed 10 have be-
come Respondent Worrying because he
had been rejected from the navy on
account of physical defects.
Hale worried a great deal because
he had been turned down and was I'M
able to enlist in any branch OF the
service, and last winter raised scene
at the office of the local exemption
board when he had been called in for
not having a registration card. He
was in the service on June ., 1871,
and did not register, but short time
later he was discharged. During the
winter some one reported to the local
board that Hale did not have regis
tration card and the board sent for
him to come in at once.
Hale got the call confused in his
mind and thought the board was ques-
tioning his patriotism, instead Of COM
plying with the law, and upon his ar.
rival at the board office caused a Mill
excitement by his display of temper
The decedent, who boarded at the
home of Mrs. Charles Quick on Wash.
ington street, had been missing since
Saturday, and, becoming alarmed at
his absence, Mrs. Quicks son went to
the Osgood shop to look for him
There he was confronted by a CHASTITY
sight. Young Hale was lying on his
back. with his 32-calibre revolver
lying across his chest
The young mans mother, who re-
sides in Dayton, wrote him last week
to meet her at The home of his bro her,
Bryon Hale, in Fairyew, on Sunday
at noon. When he failed to appear
she called Chief Of Police Bateman
and ask if he had seen her son The
last trace that could be found of him
was late Saturday afternoon, when
be was returning from Ottawa on the
interarban, and It Is supposed the
tragedy occurred early Sunday morn
ing.
Lately Hale had made several at.
tempts to enter various branches OF
the Service and had been turned down
each time. Two years ago he enliste1
in the navy and served for more thar
one year, but was honorably dis
charged from the Norfolk navy yards
last summer on account OF epoleptiC
fits.
He is survived by his mother and
several brothers ana sisters

After voting in the committee Of
the whole to accept an amendment
permitting the importation Of wine
until next May l. the house later
reversed its decision and by a vote
OF l2i TO 80 retained the original
senate provision that importation Of
wine must cease when the measure
becomes effective upon its signature
by the President.
The amendment was approved by
the house agricultural committee to
meet an objection by the governments
Of France, Italy, Spain and Portu,
gal.
All other efforts to amend the legis-
lation were defeated. A proposal by
Representative Hahn q California,
Republican. to extend the effective
date for prohibiting the sale OF wine
and beer to Dec. 81, 1919 was de-
feated, l12 to 30, as was one by Rep

Discussion Of the bill began under
an agreement to limit general debate

resentatiye Kahn of California, oppo-
nent Of prohibition, who read a letter
from Surgeon General BREASTED Of the
navy, showing that Secretary Daniels
had approved the acceptance by the
