Made to Walk Chalk Line
To Prove He Was Soher

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Arthur Bal
ltnger was arraigned before Magis-
trate Levine in a night court charged
with intoXication by Patrolman Mad
before. In charging him with be-
ing drunk, Ballinger said, the police
man had fallen from the truth in
climbing toward it.
you weren't drunk, Arthur p"
queried the court.
II was as sober then as I am
now" Arthur replied.
The magistrate had a chalk line
drawn from the bench to the rear of
the courtroom and Arthur was re-
quested to tread the narrow trail.
Billy Sunday could not have done 1t
better than Arthur until he reached
the middle of the room, where, in
some inexplicable fashion. the chalk
line that had once been straight,
suddenly veered in wriggley tan
gent hard to port.
Arthur realized that salvation lay
In his walking the chalk line, so he
followed where it led. Then Of a
sudden something struck him in the
face. 1t was the chalk line that in
an instant's time had miraculously
Strengthened itself again.
THAT will do, Arthur" said the
magistrate, when the policeman had
picked him up. you'd better spend
the night with u.s."

STATE TO GET
u. S. HIGHWAY
FUNDS, ISBELIEF

Distribution of federal funds
through the state highway board is
not likely to be halted by the pend
ing test of the validity of the motor
vehicle law, according to w. r. Neel,
state highway engineer.
ton to attend a meeting of the ad-
visory board recently created by the
federal bureau of public roads, Mr..
4,eel expressed the opinion that the
federal authorities would not sus-
pend payments of the Federal fund
because the validity of the motor
vehicle law has been called in ques-
ton.
There were two separate acts In
the highway legislation passed by
1919. One is the act establishing q
graduated scale of licenses on motor
vehicles and setting aside the re-
ceipts from such licenses for high
way construction. This is known as
the motor vehicle law. The other Is
the act establishing the state high
way board with general control and
supervision over the highway pro-
gram. This is known as the highway
commission law.
A question involving the validity
of the motor vehicle law does not
commission law, as the two laws are
separate and distinct. The entire
state funds of the highway depart
ment might be tied up by test of
the validity of the motor vehicle
law, which provides the revenue, but
yet the highway board would be In
existence just the same. and would
be qualified to act as the agent of
the federal government in the dis
bursement of the federal aid fund.
This, as explained by Mr.. Neel, IS
very fortunate for the many county
projects being financed jointly by the
counties with federal aid. Some eight
or nine million dollars worth OF
highway construction of this kind is
under way in Georgia. If the federal
ment of the federal fund. all OF
these projects would be halted.

Journal)
WASHINGTON, D. c., June s.
Mr.. Wilson's facility for disposing of
an uncomfortable fact and removing
it from the course of his reasoning
by ignoring it, is we'll illustrated in
his veto of the Knox resolution de-
claring peace with Germany. He sets
forth strong and appealing reasons
f~r not making peace in such an I'M
satisfactory and inconclusive way.
His reasoning upon this point seems
to be unansWerable. He brings out
With great force the failure to active
the objects of the war involved in the
adoption of such a resolution. He
says that the treaty at Versailles did
accomplish these objects, but that it
has been rejected by the senate of the
United States, though ratified by Ger
many. Though he condemns the SEN
ate for the failure to ratify, he utter
ly ignores the fact known of all men,
that the failure to secure a ratifica-
ton of the treaty by the senate was
due to his own refusal to make con-
cessions which would not have i'm
paired the usefulness Of the treaty in
achieving the objects he now proper
ly appraises. In other words. the
purpose of his message is to throw
upon the Republicans of the senate
the responsibility for the continual
ton y: state of war, when in fact it
lies at his door

Joseph Weiss, thirty-fve and mar

the Bronx, New York, who runs a
candy store at No. 4S9 East 169th

Heckler of No. 1854 Third avenue

The magistrate, in fixing the amount
Of the fine, said in a judicial aside
to the clerk, Kisses are cheaper now

Miss Heckler was in Night Court
in a state bordering on mysteries and
testified that she had gone back of

select what she wanted when he put
his arm around her and kissed her
vigorously upon the mouth. She ran
out she said, and got Patro1man Hay

NO TRACE OF
FIVE ESCAPED
CONVICTSFO

At the warden's office Of the federal
prison Thursday morning it was rersrted
that no trace had been found of any of the
five prisoners who made their getaway
Tuesday afternoon in party Of eight, three
Of whom were recaptured almost at once.
Tuesday night, the prison authorities were
informed a general merchandise store and
a drug store at the junction Of the Jones
Spur and McDonough roads were broken
into, and 1t is inferred that the convcts
were the depredators, though there is no
distinct evidence to that effect. 1t is real
lied, however, that any hope of continu-
ing at liberty depends largely on the men
getting clothing and food, and, if possible,
money.
Chief Clerk Frick, o. the prison, is of the
opinion that the five men have not gone
far. He recalls that two of the prisoners
now at liberty-Rector Sheriff. and John
Duffy-escaped less than q year ago, and
lay quietly hidden for weeks in thickets
not far from the penitentiary until the
search had lapsed, when they left the vi
cinity and were ultimately captured in
Louisville.
Fred G. Zerbst, warden, put in a good
deal Of time Wednesday questioning guards
and the three captured prisoners. in the eff
fort to ascertain If the escape was in any
degree due to laxity the part Of the
guards. He said it appeared inexcusable
that the. guard should not have seen the
exodus of eight convicts crawling through
one small hole and running away.

Kidnapped Boy Tells
Police He Wants to
Go Home to 'Muvver

BUFFALO, N. Y, June "a tired
sleepy, red-eyed five-year-old boy sat
in the police station here today and
wished his "muvver" would hurry
because he wanted to go home.
He was. Edward LaBelle, Jr., five
year-old son of Edward LaBelle. of
Atlantic City, who was kidnapped
from the porch of his home during
a memorial day parade last Monday.
Little Edward was backward about
making friends. Police said he had
been mistreated since he was kid
mapped, and the lad was shy about
making friends with any other
strangers. However. when told that
his mother would soon be there, his
face lighted up with a smile that
plainly showed a missing tooth.
In a cell in the station Jean Valen-
tine was held, accused of kidnap-
ping the boy. Valentine was ar
rested by the police after a twenty
four-hour search. The first clue to
the whereabouts of Valentine and
the boy was obtained yesterday, when
the parents received letter saying
that their son would be turned over
to them if they came to Buffalo.

Wilson May Ask
''Votes for Women
In North Carolina

WASHINGTON, June 3-Failure
of the New Jersey legislature to rati-
fly the woman suffrage amendment
before it's adjournment at $3.50 Tues
day, probably means that President
Wilson will bring extraordinary
pressure to bear upon the Demo-
cratic legislature of North Carolina
to ratify. This was forecast when
the president sent a telegram to
Democrats of the Delaware legisla-
ture, saying:
MAY I not, as a Democrat, express
my deep interest in the suffrage
amendment, and my judgment that
1t would be of greatest service to
the party if every Democratic in the
Delaware 2 81; legislature should vote for
The interest of the party is still
more strongly typifed in the North
Carolina legislature, snow that Della
wares Republican assembly has fail
ed to act The fate of suffrage, so
far as women voting this fall IS
rectly up to the tarheel legislators,
and the president, along with Gov
ernor Beckett and Senator Simmons,
may be expected to bring all party
pressure to bear.
Suffrage headquarters here issued
a statement expressing some hope
of action in Vermont and Connecti-
cut and saying the national Repub-
lican leaders still have a chance to
bIing abouts ratification. 1.-The gov
ernor Of Vermont has not yet an
swered the appeal of his state con-
vention for a special session." says
the suffrage statement.
Plans are under way for a great
suffrage drive against the Republi-
can national convention at Chicago,
Miss Alice Paul sent an appeal to
five thousand women in the states
surrounding Chicago asking them to
send delegations to take part in a
demonstration of protest at the Re-
publican convention.
IF you cannot take part personal
ly, please send contribution for the
travelling expenses of some one to
take your place." wired Miss Paul
'"The Republican legislature of Della
ware refuses to ratify the suffrage
amendment. The Republican govern
ors of Connecticut and Vermont,
upon to ratify, refuse to allow their
legislatures to meet. We are con-
fronted by a serious emergency. 1t
looks as though Republican opposi-
ton would preevnt millions Of wom-
en- from voting this November"
of women voice the disapproval
they feel, the Republican party can
hardly continue it's present course"
Meanwhile, the president has re-
course to appeals to the North Caro-
lima legislature when it convenes the
middle of the month. In view of his
message to the Delaware Democratic
leaders there is little doubht here
that Mr.. Wilson will urge even more
strongly upon the Democratic party
in North Carolina the necessity for
immediate approval of the Susan B.
Anthony amendment.
Such action would give. a Demo-
cratic state credit of being the thir-
ty-sixth state. The decision of the
supreme court denying the right Of
referendum appeal from the ratifica-
ton of the Ohio legislature definitely
fixes thirty-five states in the rati-
fication column and only one state
