SHOWER DOESN'T STOP
GOOD Time AT Lynn;
CLOSE EVENTS TODAY
By WILLIAM r. SANBORN

The crowds began reaching Lynn
early Thursday morning to enjoy the
closing day of the free fair and home
coming. The skies were sunny and
warm and the visitors in holiday
mood thronged before 10 o'clock. The
Chenoweth airplane was early on the
scene and flights were numerous.
This was also true on Wednesday, be-
fore and after the rainstorm which
broke into the program for two hours.
But with clearing skies the program
was pretty we'll completed on We'd
nesday, the ball game between the
Lynn and Whitewater clubs, which
had been called off early, being played
later in the day in the presence of a
good crowd.
The streets were brilliantly lighted
at night in the center of town, as was
also the auto display tent. There
was hand concert by the Farmland
16-piece band from $50 until 1880,
at which hour Judge Charles ]. Orbi-
son, federal prohibition director at
indianapolis, addressed the gathering.
There will also be a good program
Thursday night.
The Thursday afternoon program in
cluded an address by Edward Jackson,
Secretary of state, at 1:30, from the
bandstand, and parade in costume by
the school children at 2:30, in line
Of floats. This show was a credit to
the originators and to the children, the
costumes and allegorical characters be-
ing both appropriate and striking.
Following the parade came the con-
test between the Lynn and Richmond
Giant clubs at the ball park. The auto
show and tractor demonstrations, each
day, were features of special interest
to the farmers. The clowns on the
streets and the trick and fancy bicycle
riding done by Clawson, helped to
amuse the crowds on both days.
Scene at Odd Fellows Hall.
Odd Fellows Hall is the center of
interest to the women. If any of you
have imagined that he making of artis-
tic rag rugs and honey rag carpets is
a lost art in Indiana, you should revise
that opinion.
You can see some fine rag work" at
Lynn, also the silk patched crazy
quilts of our mothers days in pro-
fusion. There is much of interest to
the home-maker in art hail." at Lynn
There are also a lot of ''relics" OF
bygone days in art hall, one of which
is an old high wheel bike which, as
the inscription tells, was ridden by
Fl. J. Hinshaw, 3S years ago.
Then there are a number of old time
household appliances, including fax
carding and spinning outfits, old china,
etc. There is also an exhibit of oils
and water colors worth noting.

By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Ao-- Herald
 500 DayidsOu Building.

Washington, November 93 93-CSpecial.o- The statement of Senator Jones of Wash ington, chairman of the commerce com nlittee of the Senate, that he was opposed to the confirmation of the members of the shipping board as recently named by President Wilson, which was contempo- raneous with the arrival in Washington today of Frederick I. Thompson of Mo- bile. was regarded as significant of the attitude of republican members of Con- gress.
 Senator Jones declared that he was op- posed to the confirmation of any mem- Der. Asked for his reason, he answered simply that he thought President-elect Harding should make the appointments. rected against Alabama's member of the board Senator Jones said, Tn no re- spect." MT. Thompson, after reaching Washington, reported to the headquarters of the board, and went into consultation with Chairman Benson He will enter upon his duties Mondaya
 Although the republicans are admitted ly adverse to the confirmation of any ap-' pointee of President Wilson, the idea pre-. vails that MT. Thompson will be con firned This idea is based on the fact that the law provides that one melnbf of the board shall be resident of tlle gulf states, and that no more than four members shall be connected with either of the major political parties. Another point in Mr Thompson's favor is tkat Senator Underwood, democratic leader, is heartily for him and his confirmation.

HOOVER PLEADSFOR
 EUROPEAN CHILDREN
Is Glory to U. s. That Millions of Waifs Should Sit at
 Our Table
Ha Associated Press

Chicago, November 23.--A plea for the under-nourished children lof Europe was voiced here tonight by Herbert Hoover, who was named chairman of the Flu ropean Relief council, formed today in New York.
 Mir. Hoover, speaking to 300 Chioa- goans, at dinner given by Howard B. Jackson. formerly vice president of the United States Grain corporation, told of the utilization of seven American re- lief societies and continued:
 This council, after full investigation, has decided that complete priority should be given to American relief to Europe to support s,5oo,ooe children who have. since the armissiee, been dependent on American charity, until the children are secure over the winter.
 Here is an issue in our foreign re- lations which is neither race, political nor religion. It is just the preservation of the lives of children.
 To-day there are 35o0,00O waifs who live by virtue of the 5000 asylums, hos ptals. clinics and canteens whose doors would close but for American charity At the time of the armistice Americans were carrying the burden of 200O0o chill dren in Belgium and GO0o0 i'll northern France. This system was spread over Finland, Esthonia, Letvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Austria, Czecho-Slo- vakia. Serbia Rumania, Hungary and Ar menia-
 With the harvests of 1919 and 1920 and the gradual economic recuperation the burden has grown less and the harvest of next summer will greatly tighten the burden. It is not a perpetual charge on American charity. It is an emergency demand. It will cost 1928. 900, ,0o0 about 1 per month per child Until next harvest. For every American dollar another dol lar of local support is provided in equip ment and food together with a vast amount of voluntary service. We have but to supply them with their deficient milk, fats, clothing. and. in some coun- tries, bread, and they will succeed with out it they fail
 'sTo me it is glory to the United States that S,5O00Oo hungry waifs should sit every day at our tables. l would rather have the American flag implanted ir the hearts of the children of Europe than flying over any citadel of victory. Twenty years from now they will form the basis of civilization in Europe. If we are to preserve the foundation of society in the east. if we are to keep open the love of humanity in the west, our duty is clear before us"

ALLEGED BURGLAR
 SHOT AND KILLED
E. E. Shirley Instantly Killed While Attempting to Enter
 Home of H. T. Hand

E. E. Shirley, a man about 40 years old, was shot and in- stantly killed last night at 10:50 o'clock while attempting to break into the home of H. T. Hand, 1905 Nineteenth street, north. The body was removed to Johns undertaking parlors. Hand was placed under arrest by the police and is being held at the city jail awaiting investi- gation.
 MT. Hand, who is a locomotive con ductor for the Tennessee Coal and Iron company said last night that he was awakened by his wife telling him that some one was trying to break into the room. He got his pistol and opened the door As he did so, he said. a man struck at him with a hammer. He fired at the intruder three times, two of the shots taking effect. One of the bullets entered his heart, the other passed through the lower part of his left leg. The man died without making any state ment. Letters in his pocket showed that he roomed at the Hotel Edwards.
 The management of the hotel last night said that very little was known there of Shirley He had registered there last Saturday for one week. Nothing is known of his family except sthat he had a brother. J. F. Shirley. here, who under went an operation yesterday at a local iDfirmary for cancer on his hand.
 MT. Hand said last night that neither The nor his wife knew Shirley and he knew of no motive the man could have had for breaking in other than robbery. From the amount of noise that he is said to have made, the officers are of the opinion that he was not 6 profess sional housebreaker. From the scars on his arms it is thought possible that hay ing been victim of dope he may have been crazed into entering the house in the hope of obtaining morphine.
