Venizelo's Assailant Was
Fired From Greek Army;
Premier Not in Danger
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Aug. 13.-Georges Thyriakis,
and Apostelos Iserppis, the assailants
Of Premier Venizelos, Of Greece. who
was painfully wounded yesterday at
the Lyons railway station here, acted
through purely personal motives, &C.
cording to a statement issued at the
Greek Legation.
After the fall of former Constantine,
they were removed from the Greek
army and Navy by the Venizelos gov
eminent because of their pro-German
sentiments, it is said.
Premier Venizelos spent a good
night in the hospital to which he was
taken and is in no danger, it was an
nounced by physicians early today.
The bullet, which lodged in his lefS
shoulder was to be extra cted this
morning.
Police officials have searched the
mems rooms and found documents in
Greek, German and French, which will
be examined by the magistrate. AS a
special precaution, Premier Venizelos
went to the station an hour before his
train was to start. and entered through
the baggage room, but Iserpps learned
of the arrangements casually from a
Greek newspaper correspondent as
signed to report the departure of the
premier.

RIVAL HIGH SCHOOLS
SHORT IA TEACHERS

Although rural high schols are short
about IA teachers, active prepare
TOMS are being made for the open
ing of school on Sept. 9Th, according
to c.. O. Williams, county superin-
intendent.
Williams says the rural buildings
have been renovated where possible,
The elementary grades are well taken
care Of, as there are 40 applicants
on reserve lis, of teachers. Williams
says it is possible to purchase the
school books from two local book sell
lers, and from Cambridge City deal
er He believes enough are on hand
TO take care Of the first rush.
Williams is confident that the IA
high school teachers will sign before
Sept 9Th. The ruling that a teacher
must have graduated from a college
before license to teach in high school
is granted, is the principle reason for
delay. Shortage is due. Williams
says to the fact that manufacturers
and commercial houses pay college
graduates much better salaries than
would they get as school teachers.

BANKRUPTCY To SAVE
SELF FROM ACTIONS

! CHICAGO, Aug. 13-Without alleg-
Ing the Charles Weeghman company,
operators OF the Weeghman restau-
rants, is insolvent, creditors filed an
involuntary petition in bankruptcy
against 1t in the United States district
court yesterday. Mr.. Weeghman is a
former Richmond, Ind, man and for
mer head OF the Chicago Cubs.
The petition was filed In behalf Of
the W. s. Quinby Coffee company,
the Bakers Flour company, and the
Hofherr Meat company, who scheduled
claims aggregating $4,000.
The action was taken, Attorney AL
bert M. Blum explained, with the as
sent of the Weeghman company for
the immediate purpose OF forestalling
possible similar action by creditors
who, becoming impatient, might force
their claims to judgments. 1t was an
nounced that the restaurants will not
be closed AS no federal judge Is now
sitting, the matter will be taken be-
fore Referee in Bankruptcy Frank L..
Wean this morning to act on the ap-
pointment Of a receiver.
Weeehman Issues Statement
Charles Weeghman, president OF the
concern, issued the following state
iment:
Recent events have created con-
dition where the Charles Weeghman
company has been unable to meet it's
obligations as they fell due. The re.
suit has been that few creditors, be-
coming impatient, have forced their
claims to judgments. The company
as a going concern is solvent. 1t owns
a number Of very valuable restaurants
and leaseholds and enjoys large pat
ronage.
Most Of the creditors. especially
the larger ones, have been most in
dulgent and have endeavored to help
us work out the situation, and we are
very grateful for their cooperation.
Owing to the current financial strin-
kency it has been impossible to ar
range sufficient funds to meet the sit
uation within the short time given us.
Our desire now Is to pay every credit
or in full and conserve the business
so that it may continue as going
concern.
1--WE find that it is necessary, in or
der to save the situation and work IT
out to the best interest OF all the
creditors, to consent that our business
be administered in and with the aid
OF the court of bankruptcy"
Referee Wean issued an order re-
straining the University Of Chicago,
owner of the Tacoma building, from
removing any fixtures or interfering
with the property Of the Weeghman

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that it
will not cost you a penny unless it re-
moves the freckles; while if it. does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce Of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy il is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles. -AdvertisemeI.t
