Whereas, the Supreme Judge OF
the universe has called from our
midst our tried and true friend and
brother associate, j. M. Graham,
and 49,
Whereas, we most deeply regret
and deplore his untimely passing,
feeling keenly the loss which we
have sustained thereby and
Whereas, we feel it our bounden
duty to publicly express and show
our appreciation of the worth, abil-
ity and integrity of our departed
brother, one who for many years
labored diligently and faithfully
among us, therefore,
Be 1t resolved by the Bar Asso-
tiation of Audubon County, that we
most deeply regret and deplore the
making of the stern and conclusive
decree whereby our brother lawyer
has been taken from our midst
For years Mel Graham q occu-
pied high place in the ranks of the
legal profession at home as well as
abroad. At home for years he has
been the leader of the bar. His
ability was of high order and his
devotion to his clients and their in
terests never wavered. The wealth
or station of the client mattered not
to him and he gave to each and all
that same devotion and unselfish
service which was his chief charac-
teristic.
For years most of his time was
taken up in handling the many i'm
portant legal matters which came to
his office. Yet in the midst of a
busy life he found the time to devote
TO the public interests those serv-
ices which are the true stamp and
mark OF good citizen Twice
elected county attorney of his cho-
sen county he served the public with
zeal and ability. For many years
he saw active service as a member
of the school board OF Audubon,
Iowa, and there he rendered excel
lent and useful services. This
duty he laid down only when COM
PEELED to do so by reason of failing
health.
Stricken down in the very prime
OF life by a grim malady which de-
fed all the skill of science. He
made a heroic fight to ward off the
ravages of the dread disease. At
the silent beckon OF the grim mes
senger he laid down forever the
working tools of life and went to
the undiscovered country. Taken
at time OF life when the world
was full of hope and promise, yet he
did not murmur. and at the close of
day he silently and peacefully pass.
ed to the other side as one who
wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleas
ant dreams.
Be It further resolved, that a
copy of, these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of the court and
another copy under the seal of this
court be sent to the family of the
departed brother"

BOYS MAKE GOOD SHOWING

A seed corn termination test by
the agricultural class of the Extra
High school was held the fore part of
the week under I direction of County
Agent L. P. Reeve. These boys
gathered 40 ears from their fathers
or neighbor's farms. A test was
made in three classes. The first
was from corn that had been picked
before the frost and had been prop
erly cared for. This test averaged
about 90 percent The second class
was corn that had been picked after
the frost and had not been properly
cared for and tested "a percent. The
last class was corn that had been
picked from the crib which tested
but SIS percent. This result proves
conclusively that IL pays to pick the
corn before the frost comes.

VS.. Lowden To-day
In Illinois Primaries
Cook County Will Afford Prin.
cipal battle-ground for Re-
publican Candidates

CHICAGO, April 12.-Illinois will
hold its first Presidential preference pr-
mary tomorrow with Presidential can
dldates of the Republican ballot only.
Governor Frank 0. Lowden and Major
General Leonard Wood are contesting
for the states preferential vote. Names
of other candidates may be written in on
the ballots.
A complete slate of Lowden delegates
is in the field, but there are no Wood
delegates.
On the Democratic side delegates will
DC elected, but as no candidate has filed
Tor the states preferential vote, the
delegates chosen will be uninstructed.
There are four contests outside of
Look County, in the 10th, 18th, 18th and
I'D districts, and three in Cook County.
Governor Lowdens campaign man
ayers claimed to-day that the Governor
would carry the state, pil;ng up lead
downstate that will overcome anything
the Wood forces may do in Cook County.
Nathan MacChesney, General Woods
Illinois manager, denied published state
ments that Wood had conceded the state
to Lowden. He declared the 'vote will
astonnd the political leaders of the
state"
Women in all but a half dozen coun
ties will be permitted to vote, unofficial
ly. Their ballot will be counted sepa-
fately, that they may be thrown out
later II their participation is held to be
illegal.
Attorney General Brundage, at the
request OF Governor Lowden, ruled that
there would be no objection to election
officials providing ballots for the women
under these conditions In Cook County
2SS.Sl9 women have registered.

Lyons Says N. Y.
Delegates Will
Support Butler
If He Has No Chance of
Winning Nomination Con
tingens Will Swing TO
Gen. Wood, He Declares

John ]. Lyons, one of the Chicago
convention delegates from the 2lst Cont
gressional District, says DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler will be supported at the
Chicago convention by nearly every
New York delegate.
"If it should become apparent after
the first vote that DR.. Butler has no
chance of winning the nomination l be-
lieve the delegates will almost wholly
vote for General Wood" said Mr..
Lyons. General Wood will have no
trouble il being elected if he is TIE
candidate.
eff General Wood in the Illinois
primaries to-day gets. say, rs per cent
of the votes against the solidly organ-
lied Lowden organization, it will be
greatly to his credit If he gets a
greater percentage than that it will
work injuriously to the chances of Gov
ernor Lowden in his own state Again,
if considerable percentage of ILL
nos voters should take the trouble to
write in the name of Senator Johnson,
whose name is not printed on the
official ballot, it will make Johnson a
still more formidable contender in the
should win as many as 33 per cent Of
the delegates in Ohio, in the face of
the odds he is up against, it will put
Senator Harding out of business as a
Presidential possibility"
The Tribune was in error yesterday
in giving the date as April II for the
Massachusetts, primaries. The date is
April 81.
Norman J. Gould, Eastern manager
of the Leonard Wood Campaign Com
mittec, yesterday in referring to the
Illinois primaries to be held to-day
said
"The statement printed in some
newspapers that General Wood con-
cedes a Lowden victory in Illinois is
incorrect. We have no candidates in
the field there, and are making no fight
for delegates. Of course, delegates for
Governor Lowden will be elected. The
real fight is for popular approval of
one or the other candidates at the polls.
In this fight we are so far from con-
ceding victory to our opponents that
we are confident that the result will be
q surprise, not only to the people of
Illinois, but to the country at large
The Wood supporters have no organiza-
ton to man the polls. The Wood cam
paign there is dependent entirely upon
volunteer workers to get out the vote
and assist the election cfficers'

Suicide Won't Retard
Hunt for Profiteers
Members of ''Flying Squadron"
Voice Regret at Extraordinary
Result of First Case

The suicide Of Joseph Nichthauser,
Brooklyn haberdasher, who killed him
self after his arrest on a charge of
profteering under the Lever act, drew
expressions of regret yesterday from
nnma5sasY members of the gGvernment;s flying
saders and from Leroy Ross, United
States Attorney in Brooklyn, but the
suicide will have no effect on the
campaign against profteers. They will
be pursued as relentlesnly as hereto
fore, these officials said
sit was shocking that our first case
should be disposed of in this extraor-
dinary manner" Mr.. Ross said after
a long conference with Armin W. Riley,
head Of the flying squadron"
II. l.. Van Sickler, in active charge
Of the "squadron," said it was too bad
that man should kill himself before
he had a chance to defend himself.
Many complaints are being received
at room sos in the Federal Building by
the "squadron" relative to prices
charged at various clothing stores in
greater New York, Mr. Van Sickler
said. He cited as typical letter Of
information from the president of a
large importing and exporting cloth
goods firm. The letter told of a tailor
who was charging $17O for "plain busi-
ness suits" The writer said he would
be glad to furnish further information.
The squadron" is turning it's efforts
this week largely to the food situation
caused by the railroad strike.

$844,l9O From
State Budget
Vetoes $48O,O32 Appropri-
alton for Building Bridges
and $ll5,OOO for Mill
tary Training Camps
Opposes Increased Staff
Lack Of Information in Re
quests Causes Rejection
of Parts of Huge Bill

ALBANY, April Ex-Governor Smith
tonight notified the Legislature that
he had eliminated from the annual ap-
preparation bill for the support o. the
state government items totalling $844,-
100. The appropriation bill when it
reached the Governor called for $751;
007,363.66. the largest sum In the his
tory of the stata.
In his message to the Legislature the
Governor explained his vetoes Of vari-
GUS items by saying that some sought
deemed unnecessary, that the state
departments now had staffs large
enough to function properly, and that
in some instances ''no requests were
made for the amounts asked and that
this office is without informa lion re-
garding them"
The largest items eliminated by the
Governor were s480,032 from the re-
quest of the superintendent of Public
Works and $115,000 fror1 the military
training commissions approximation
The items stricken from the Superin-
tendent Of Public Works's total were
for the construction Of thirteen high
way bridges, and the S115,000 for the
field training. Regarding the former
vote the Governor wrote:
Il believe that items of this nature
should be presented in the thirty day
bill period, that proper consideration
may be given as to the necessity for
the state entering upon the project and
at time when the revenue of the
state and the means of raising addi-
tlonal revenues have been fully deter
mined"
In vetoing the item Of $4,000 for
the expense of establishing camps of
instruction for field training and prac-
tical instruction, the Governor said:
This item is disapproved because the
explanation accompanying the request
is insufficient. There are no details
as tc the number Of boys that can be-
cared for. Further, the allowance of
S35,OO0 for personal service without
segregation is highly Objectionable.
Other appropriations vetoed IN
cluded:
Secretary of State, $4,000; Depart
ment of Agr culture, $59,O33; State
Comptroller, s43,500; Banking Depart
ment, $4,000; Hospital Development
Commission, $4,000; State Land Of
fee, $10,800.

ing Dealers Denied; Move
ment Spreads Over South

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 12.-
Birmingham newspaper publishers
have fatty denied the request of a
committee of retail clothiers that news
of the Overall" movement through
out the South be suppressed on the
ground that it was damaging the retail
clothing business. The publishers in
formed the clothers' committee that
their papers would continue to report
the overall movement which they con-
sidered legitimate news.
Mass meetings and public demon
strations are being held in connec-
tion with the movement in many places
throughout the South. 1t was reported
to-day that there were 1000 mem bers
Of the Overall Club in Birmingham
alone, all pledged to wear blue denim
until the price of clothing comes down.
The club was formally organized to-
night at a mass meeting at the Court
House, and Friday was set as the day
on which every member Of the club is
TO appear on the streets clad in overalls.
A solemn pledge was taken that the
denims will be worn until the price of
clothing "hits the toboggan.''
Secretary Lamar said the average cost
of overals was SO suit.
"If | hear of anybody trying to
profiteer in overalls, I will prosecute
them myself" said Mr.. Lamar, who is 4

Smith Will Not Call
For Special Election
Filling of Socialists Places
Depends on Extra Session
of Legislature
From a Staff Correspondent

ALBANY, April 12-Governor Smith
will not call special elections in the
five Assembly districts in greater New
York, now without representation in
the House, due to the custer of the five
Socialist Assemblymen, unless there is
an extra session of the Legislature.
This the Governor communicated to-
day to S. John Bloch, counsel for the
Socialists, who inquired of the Gov
ernor if he would call special elec-
tion.
~ have no official knowledge of what
the Journal of the Assembly shows in
reference to the date of the remova
of these five Assemblymen," writes the
Governor. '1n my opinion, whatever

which have knowledge, to, wit, tina

no authority to call special elections ir
