Grafton and Miss Edna Ross of Phil

WARNS AMERICA TO SLOW
DOWN.

LOSANGLES, June 5.-The Amer
lean people and American business
must slow down, warned George E.
Roberts, vice president of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York at a
luncheon given to more than 500
prominent business men here.
Unnecessary development in the
country must be held back, Mr.. Rob-
erts declared. People must econo-
mize. Because America was victori-
Gus in the war is no reason why peo-
pie should celebrate by more reckless
squandering of money than has been
the case before.
'tWhen family in moderate cir
cumstances loses its home by fire, y
Mr. Roberst illustrated, "the members
do not at once proceed to invest the
remainder of their little savings in
another home. They do not continue
to purchas luxuries which they were
accustomed to before their disaster.
Instead they save and economic
wherever possible until they are
financially safe in making another in
vestment. 1t is the same with ma
tons"
Building operations and the ex-
lesion of industry were virtually
stopped during the war, Mr.. Roberts
said. x Development was idle during
that time. Now people are trying to
make up for the entire loss in few
years or months. Reconstruction, he
said, must last over a decade.

National Gas a Great Factor

Il
WASHINGTON, June s. A very
important meeting of the Governors
of natural gas using states, Public
Service Commissioners and other re-
representatives. of the public in con-
nection with a meeting of the Nation
al Committee on Natural Gas Con-
servation has been called by the
Secretary of the Interior for Friday,
June nth, in the Auditorium of the
New Interior Building at Washington
d. c. for the purpose of going into
details of the committees conclusions
in the interest of national gas conser-
vations which is now occupying the
thoughts of men higher up in the in
dustry and the government
John Bartons Payne, Secretary of
the Interior has written letter to
the governors of the fifteen national
gas using states, urging them to meet
with the committee and receive from
his hands the final resolutions as a
dopted by the National Committee
after six months work, looking to ac-
complishing very momentous and de-
! finite results along the line of gas
saving and economy
The Bureau of Mines, with the new
director, F. G.. Cottrell, at the helm,
has also taken up the matter Of hav-
ing thoroughly representative gat-
herring of men i'll the industry and
public representatives, such as public
service commissioners, and he has
sent out letters to the committee ask
ing that they meet early in the day
of the open meeting called by Secre-
tary Payne, at which time discuss
ion of the tentative resolutions pass
ed at the last meeting of the Naional
Committee on Natural Gas Conser-
walton will be taken up and approp-
riate action taken on ach II
changes are made in the origional re-
solutions, when the Governors and
their representatives can be made ac-
quainted with these changes and the
reasons therefor:
The Governors of the natural gas
using states are taking a keen inter
est in the movement for the saving of
gas, and it is expected that every one
of the fifteen states will be repre-
sented at the Washington meeting on
June 18th. The acting directors
letterto Governor James NJ Cox, of
Ohio, stated that his state was large
st gas-consuming states in the Union
! over five hundred towns being de-
pendent on the natural fuel, and that
means three-fourths of the population
of the state. AS a very large pro-
I portion of the gas is imported from
West Virginia, an interstate study OF
the problem is imperative. AS to o
crisis in the national gas industry
| this is notdebatable; it is an accepted
! fact, and the question is now to get
proper relief. One of the big fea-
lures of the meeting will be the adop-
ton of the service of economics teac-
hers, proper equipment, ETC., insur-
ing the correct use of gas.

CONVENTION
ADOPTS PLATFORM
IN ELEVENTH HOUR COMPROM-
Use TO HOLD HARMONY IN THE
PARTY JOHNSON, WOOD, LOW
DEN LEADING

CHICAGO, June 10.-Rescuing the
party by elevnth hour compromise
from a threatened split on the Lea
que of Nations issue, the republican
national convention today adopted a
platform and then adjourned to NOM
mate a candidate tomorrow.
/ Harmony on the league issue was
Reached after many hours of heated
negotiation revolving about the SUBJ
(committee on resolutions but bringing
into consultation first and last vir
tually all the big men of the party.
In the end the irreconcilables and
mild reservationists accepted a treaty
plank drafted by Elihu Root before
his departure for Europe several
weeks ago but revised in some details
to meet the views of the contending
elemnts.
1t condemns President Wilson's
league covenant, upholds the Senate
in its rejection of the treaty, and en-
dorses the principle of an intrna-
tional peace concert in hormony with
American traditions.
After impatiently marking time all
day for the resolutions committee to
complete it work, the tired conven-
ton received with cheers the reading
Of the platform by Senator Watson of
INDIANA, the committee chairman, and
adopted it with great chorus of
cheers. 1t nearly drowned out mi
nority report presented by Edwin j.
Gross, the Wisconsin memebr of the
committee, and signed only by him.
, self The substitute provided flat
rejection of the league idea, advocated
government ownership of railroads,
and contained other proposals which
the convention hooted as Socialists"
CHICAGO, June 10-At midnight
the camps of three leading candidates
were putting on last minute touches
for the big fight of tomorrow. Man
ages of Johnson, Wood and Lowden
all claimed steady accessions of dele
gates and declared confidence of their
success.

ANITA STEWART is
NEARLY SMOTHERED

I'm DLACtNG BARN
Rescues Horse at Great Risk in
Thrilling Fire Spectacle
In Old Kentucky"
One of the thrilling scenes of Elm
Old Kentucky" the First National
big special feature with Anita Ste
wart starring, which will be shown
in Belington at the Grand Theatre on
June II is where Miss Stewart rushes
into burning barnto saves through
bred racer for m the flames. A barn
was purchased for this purpose and
was burned to the ground
Miss Stewart, as Madge Briefly, the
little mountain girl, has been visiting
in nearby city. She is very much
in love with the young master Of the
estate, but has been told by jealous
woman that the young man is play
ing with her heart. She slips quietly
out of the big house to return to her
mountain home. But as she leaves
che grounds she sees that the barn is
on fire.
She knows that fine through
bred race horse is stabbed in the barn
and that the horse is favorite for
the stakes in the great Kentucky
handicap, which race soon is to be
run.
Others from the house rush out as
the flames mount up, but no one
to enter the stable, which is envelop-
ed in smoke and flame.
Miss Stewart actually rushes into
the barn and finally coaxes the horse
to follower her out of the stable. The
fire and smoke is so thick that she
can hardly be seen through the door
way, but she finally energies, half
suffocated.
Her hair was singed in the taking of
the scene, and she was nearly smot-
hered by the smoke, but she suffred
no serious injury.
The barn Of dry boards and filled
with hay then quickly burns to the
ground and falls into ruins. 1t is a
brilliant fire spectacle and carries an
intense thrill.

proposed legislation. Tears for The
dead and greenbacks for the living"
What Senator Thomas says does
not necessary settle the controvers-
ial points concerning the soldiers
bonusas, and even though he has
characterized the legis lation as a
"raid upon the Treasury" there is a
universal division of opinion as to
what are the merits or dement's of a
class of legislation of this kind which
adds two or three billion dollars Of
additional taxes upon the people OF
the country at time when rigid econ
omy should be in force in legislative
expenditures. However, it is very
questionable wheather statemen OF
politicians who spend money belong
ing to the public, succeed in carrying
with them into public life the es.
sential understanding of the meaning
of the word extravaganza, which they
effect in their private life and carry
in to their own business affairs An
other Senator, in deferring to legis
lative extrayagances, has used un
varnishedor words. Senator Reed o.
Missouri, told Congress that it voted
5000, 100000 year for the Army
without batting an eye. You ex
pend million dollars day to keel
soldiers in Europe who ought to hav,
been back here twelv months ago, ant
it does not disturb the peaceful ser
entity Of your dreams"

cases of rum, which an Indian tradi-

House century and half ago, are

stopped at Cumberland House and
turned back by the Hudson Bay peo-
pie, after they had hidden the liquor
which was intended for the Indian
trade.
