ADJUTANT GENERAL
AID 0. KS REQUEST.
FOR ARMORY FUNDS
COL. RiCHINGS j. SHAND AP-
PROVES ARCHITECTS CLAIM
FOR $4,000 WITH WHICH TO
COMPLETE COMPANY C'S HOME.

An official O. X, on Architect John
Hanifen's recommendation for an ad-
ditional sum with which to complete
the armOry was secured from Col
Richinss j Shand, assistant adjutant
general, yesterday when he came to
Ottawa to inspect the needs of the
local state building. Col Stands will
return TO Springfield with the recon-
mendation that $12075 be appropriate
ed for doing this work.
Hon. Lee O'Neil Browne, who, as
in all previous armory matters. di-
rected the campaign at Springfield is
again at the helm in this matter. He
accompanied the adjutant generals
representative and Architect Hanifen
on the tour OF inspection yesterda!
and last night. Admtant General
Dickson has given the proposition his
verifcation. so that all that remains
is for Mr. Browne to get the appro.
priation thru the lower house, assist
ed by Senator ThurIOw EssingtOn in
the senate.
The money will be used to grade
the fill made between the armury an.
the retaining wall on the west, haul
Ing new black dirt for grass, and pay
ing the surface between the wall and
building A parking system will also
be installed as d beautifer of the ar
mOry.
The plans call for the installation
Of a small heating unit to operate
separately from the main plant, for
sole use of the club rooms on the
second floor This auxiliary plant
will not cost much money for install
lation and will be a big fuel saver. AT
the present time, if the jauitor wants
to heat the C. A. r. and company club
rooms be has to heat the entire build
! ing at the same time.

u. S. SUPREME COURT Is
PETITIONED FOR
REHEARING
PLEA FILED TODAY
FRIENDS MARVEL AT TENACITY
OF CONVICTED FiNANCIER,
WHO, DRIVEN INTO CORNER. is
MAKING LAST STAND TO AVOID
PRISON.

Just about the time the state had
made up its mind there would be ne
further stumbling blocks placed in
the way of John Z, Hartenbowers en-
tering joliet prison, to serve three
years sentence for wrecKing the Ton
lea Exchange Bank and receiving de
posits after he knew the institution
to be insolvent, up bobs John with an
other fight against his incarceration
behind prison walls.
The climax of his spectacular battle
for freedom came today when his
counsel served notice upon Attorney
General Brundago at Springfield that
their client would file petition in die
United States Supreme Court al
Washington. asking for a rehearing in
the case ruled adversely on by the
same tribunal few weeks back
Accordingly Hartenbower has en-
tered the motion that he be given an
other chance 10 prove his innocence
of the crime he stands convicted OF in
La Sale County,
Hartenbowers bulldog tenacity
causes many to marvel at the man
Approaching that period in life when
the ordinary individual has but little
scrap left in him -HartenbOWe is
past 60--the convicted Tonica banker
is sticking grimly to his guns in wha
attorneys claims to be a futile heht
for freedom
After he was convicted in the La
Sale County court, 1t was confirmed
successfully through the Appellate,
Illinois and federal Supreme courts,
enough TO make the ordinary man
admit defeat The United States Su-
preme Courts decision came in Jan.
uary and in the decision it waived
any jurisdiction In the case This
placed a barrier against Ha.tenbow-
er's entrance into yhe nations highest
tribunal TO have his plea heard. Now
that he has determined to ma e an.
other attempt the proceedings Will be
followed closely through Illinois
Former friends of the erstwhilc
Dan6er are pondering over his source
of revenue for conducting the many
court ventures. When he failed with
the bank the pool of assets brought
creditors few cents on the dollar
But Hartenbower seems well enough
supplied with funds 20 carry hi
claims for freedom to thc last notch
Everybody knows that it costs lot of
money, but where Hartenbower is get
ting the lot is more than can be
fathomed by those interested in his
conviction.

is extremely sad, as she leave four
small children, one of them baby boy
five days old.
Mrs. Beck was one of the bes
known of the young matrons of The
city, and her pleasing personality hei
bright and sunny disposition haC
caused her to make scores of friends
She was a great lover of her home
and her qualities as a wife and mothe,

NURSE MAKES BRAVE:
FIGHT AFTER TAKING
POISON BY ERROR
SISTER or OTTAWAS ONLY ARMY
Filler, NOT TO BE OUTDONE BY
BROTHERS HEROlSM, DETER
MINED TO LIVE IN SPITE OF
ODDS CONFRONTING HER.

! Determined to overcome the sin
lister rayages of bichloride of mer-
curry taken in error late Saturday,
Miss Isabel Gay, trained nurse, today
is making a heroic fight for her life at
Ryburn Hospital. from which institu-
tion she received her diploma as a
registered graduate Jan. 80
Not TO be outdone by the valor Of
brother, who surmounted almost mon
umental obstacles to become Il full
iiedged American army fiier, Miss Gay
has announced her determination to
fight her way inch by inch back to
health In this she is proving the
same stuff is in her makeup as that
o. her birdman kin The indomitable
spirit will prove potent factor in
Ter recovery.
The accident occurred Saturday
afternoon a. the home of Rev. and
Mrs. c. A. Briggs, where she was en-
ployed as nurse for Mrs Briggs, who
recently became the mother Of little
daughter Miss Gay as sC0u as she
detected her mistake, coolly directed
the administering Of emetics by Rev
Briggs, whom she summoned to her
aid. She was then rushed to Ryburn
hospital where every successful treat
ment for combating the effects of the
poison is being employed to aid in her
heroic fight
Taking an envelope containing the
antiseptic tablets for a prescription
given her carrier in the day for tenn
pCrary illness and fatigue, brought
about by her duties as nurse, Miss
Gay was startled into activity by a
burning sensation in her throat The
prescription, she knew. did not have
that effect. 1t Immediately dawned
upon her that possibly she had swai-
lowed the poison by mistake, a suf-
ticient quantity to bring about death
by the long tortorous route SO we'll
known Of it, Her training stands her
in good stead, doctors aver. The
emetics were successful, and it Is be
lieyed that he majority OF the poison
was thrown from her before it had
been given an opportunity to invade
her system.
The error was brought about almost
as though fate had taken a hand in
her affairs The bichloride of mer-
curry tablets, used in al. sickrooms,
and the prescription tablets Were OF
the same color, same size and mex, to
indistinguishable apart. They were
lain upon the same table in envelopes
alike When she felt he need OF re
lief from her fatigue ana pain, fate
directed she select the wrong en-
velope for her own medicine. But
for The burning sensation in her
throat she would have had no warning
of her error,
DR.. A. J. Roberts has wired to many
paris of the country for antidOteS for
the poison, and prescriptions and
treatment that have proven success
full in other cases have already been
received here.
Backed by her determination to win
against great odds, these treatments
will. it is claimed, help materially in
returning Miss Gay to health.

"a wonderful reception. .
The President accompanied by
members of his immediate party.
reached the scene of his first speech
very, very happy. His reception in
Boston has been very much more en-
thusiastic than he had anticipated
Originally the President had plan
ned to return home to the capital of
the old bay state saying few words
of greeting and immediately depart
for Washington. He had expected
that fair sized crowd would gather
TO greet him,
But the spectacle of absolutely JAM
med streets of a city wildly enthusi-
astic stimulated the President so that
when he arrived at the hall in which
he was scheduled to make his initial
homecoming speech it was plain he
was ready to fbrego his original plan.
h Mechanics hall was filled before
1850, altho tfe exercises were not
scheduled to begin until :. quarter of
an hour later The President entered
| the hall at 2:40, escorted by Mayor
| Peters and members of the official
party
The demonstration in honor of the
President began before the gray mists
| lifted from the harbor and increas-
ed in volume and intensity as he was
welcomed to the heart of the city.
There was only one jarring note that
tended to mar the eventful occasion.
1t was the arrest of twenty-five suf-
fragists who lined up with banner be-
fore the official reviewing stand in
front of the state house and who re-
fused to move when directed to do so
by the police
The incident happened just before
the President set foot on Common
wealth Pier The reviewing stand was
filed with wounded soldiers, sailors
and marines Governors Of several
eastern states were also seated there.
The President was forced repeated
ly to respond to the overwhelming
cries of the throng.
A close view of his face showed the
lines were deep, the result of his
weeks Of arduous and strenuous la
Dor at the peace conference In mo-
ments OF repose the corners of his

To sustain Italian morale during

said he had endeavored to interpret
for them nine points of the Presi-
dents fourteen points, that relating
to elf-determination. He told the
Italians, he said, that self-determi-
nation meant for them restoration
of all Italian peoples to Italian SOW
ereignty, including those of Fiume.
Representative La Guardia said
the President had blue penciled"
the so-called Tardieu compromise
regarding Fiume and that a subse-
quent agreement reached by France,
Great Britain and Italy had been
forwarded recently to Washington
for the Presidents approval.
Professor Alexander Oldrim, of
New York, chairman of the Italian
American delegation appearing be-
fore the committee, made a lengthy
statement of the basis of Italy's
claims to Fiume and certain Dalma-
tan. territory, contending that not
only self-determination of the peo-
pie of Fiume direct that course, but
that adequate defense of Italy de-
manded annexation of this territory.

Germans Send Reply
to Note OF Allies on
Austrian Representation
BIZ Associated Press

Berlin, Sept. 8, (via Basle) The
German reply to the note of the
Allies with regard to representation
of Austria in the German Reich
rath says the German peace delega-
ton informed the Allies on May 27
that Germany had no intention to
modify the Austro-German boun-
daries by violence, but could not
undertake to oppose a German
Austrian spontaneous desire for
union with Germany.
The Allies acknowledged receipt
of this communication on June 16,
the reply continues, and therefore
Germany felt authorized to insert
article 81 to the constitution.
The Supreme Council of the Peace
Conference on September sent a
note couched in forcible terms to
the German government pointing
out that Article 81 of the German n
constitution confiicted with article
80 of the German peace treaty for
bidding German interference in
Austrian affairs. The article in the
German constitution referred to
provided for the representation of
Austria in the German Reichrath
and the council demanded suppress
sion of this article within a fort
night declaring that otherwise the
Allies would be compelled to un-
dertake further occupation of the
left bank of the Rhine.
