MARSHALL OUT
OF RACE, SAYS
FRISCO REPORT
Interview Credits Him With
Saying He Won't Accept
Nomination.
WOOD ASSAILs BUTLER

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-In an
interview credited to Vice President
Thomas R. Marshall and made public
here today, the vice president is
quoted to the effect that he will de-
cline the presidential nomination if
1t is offered him by the democratic
party.
The purported Marshall interview fol-
lows:
II wouldn't accept the nomination if It
was handed me on a silver platter
81 have some kind, generous and fool.
ish friends who have mentioned me fot
the office but I have only one desire at
present-and that is to get out of poll
ties"
REFUSES COMMENT ON
HARDING NOMINATION.
Vice President Marshall also is said
to have let it be known that he will
throw his influence against any attempt
to raise the liquor and Irish questions at
the convention.
Marshall declared that he will urge no
action be taken on the eighteenth amend
ment.
The Irish question, he said, sis none OF
Americas business"
Marshall said he would support enforce
ment Of the prohibition law.
The vice president refused to COM
ment on the nomination of Senator Har-
ding and Gov. Coolidge by the repub-
licans.
Il is understood, however, that he sent
the following telegram to Coolidge:
you have my sincere sympathy"
ACTIVITIES GET
UNDER WAY.
Vice President Marshall has gone to
Monterey to rest for several days before
the convention.
An active campaign in behalf of Gov.
Edward I. Edwards Of New Jersey was
iaunched here today.
John o. Deylin, representing the Ma
tional Personal Liberty league, opened
headquarters Ia behalf of the Edwards
candidacy.
He declared the league represented both
republicans and democrats pledged to
work IN Edwards behalf
However, indications are that If the
democrats decide upon a candidate OF
liberal tendencies they will turn to Gov.
Cox OF Ohio rather than to Edwards
Of New Jersey.
Cox's record in carrying Ohio and the
nationwide publicity he gained in the
food investigation and the coal strike
are being advanced by his supporters
here as indicating his strength as a
candidate.

ASK DISMISSAL
FOR SHERIFF.

During the Introduction Of the motions
asking for the release OF the defendants
from further prosecution. Attorney Nil
TON AIangus rose and introduced mo-
tion asking for such a ruling In favor OF
Chief OF Police Sehmitt.
You ask for thot in the light OF the
evidence?" asked Judge Anderson.
Turning to the clerk the court said,
with a wave OF the hand, "Overrule IT
at once"
In discussing the evidence OF the gov
ernment Judge Anderson said "Is 1t
possible that the sheriff, who Is intrusted
with law enforcement, did not know OF
the importation OF liquor into the state
when two members Of the defendants
counsel have spoken of It during argu-
ment in discussing the large amount or
liquor which was shipped into the city ?
IF he didn't do 1t, he didn't do his
duty and there IS no question TO It,
II think that a pence officer is in grent
peril unless he assiduously does his en-
tire duty" state Judge Anderson, In over
ruling the motion OF Sheriff Males.
QUESTIONS ACTION
OF OTHER OFFICIALS.
Again Judge Anderson stated: This
enormous conspiracy, Of which two Of
the defendants attorneys have spoken
is II possible that otuer oucets anu cAly
officials did not know about It,"
William f. Wilson, county clerk Of
Evansville, Ind, was the first witness for
Chief of Police Schmitt aud he admitted
in answer to question put to him by
Attorney Spencer that Chief Schmitts
general reputation was mot good"
Wilson attempted at first to answer
the question by stating that 1t was his
personal opinion that Schmitts reputa-
tion was good.
'The question didn't ask you what was
your opinion but his general reputation"
stated Judge Anderson.
ADMITS sCHMITT'S
REPUTATION BAD.
Wilson then admitted that generally
ii was not good
Rev. William Dresel of st. Johns
church at Evansville admitted the gen.
eral opinion regarding Schmitt at this
time in Evansville Is divided"
Sol Cohn, defendant who has pleaded
not guilty, and his brother has pleaded
guilty, testified that Chief Schmitt al
ways paid his grocery bill at the Cohn
grocery.
On examination, the witness ad-
mitted that he was generally on
wagon and not In the store to a great
extent.
Capt Andy Freddie made an attempt to
testify in his own behalf, but apparently
made 4 feeble effort to clear up the sit
uation.
6 Freddie at no time gave any damaging
evidence against Schmitt

WHY Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told to "beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, low
res the vitality and paves the way for
the more serious diseases. People
who contract pneumonia first take
cold. The longer cold hangs on,
the greater the danger, especially
from the germ diseases, as cold
prepares the system for the recep-
tion and development of the germs of
consumption, diphtheria, scarlet fe-
yer and whooping cough. The quick
err you get rid of wour cold, the less
the danger of contracting one of
these diseases. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has a great reputation as a
cure for colds and can be depended
upon. 1t is pleasant to take. ADV.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY

They say that Opportunity knocks
at the door of every person" at least
once. He is now at yours.
l have 100 acres of land seeded to
fall wheat and looking fine, at Dutch
apa-the only section of our valley
where arid farming has been demon
strated to be successful-for sale for
only 100000. This land is fenced
and has small artesian well on it.
Last year wheat from this land took
first prize at our County Fair.
Just think what it will mean to you
this year. There is already moisture
enough in the ground to mature the
crop. If you harvest 20 bushels per
acre this will mean 5000 bushels.
5000 bushels at $500 will be 81, 10000
for the crop alone.
II you are inclined to speculate at
all this is your chance to make some
easy money.
/ will give all kinds of time on
$1,000 Of the purchase price but will
expect the balance in cash.
