 Ralph Whitaker of Florence ad- dressed the convention delegates at the Il 0 CLOCK hour instead or MISS Kate Markham Power, who| was scheduled to bring a message from the Red Cross at that hour.
 The Florence delegation came to the convention with the distinct deter imitation to land the 1921 convention of the state service men and banners inviting the legionnaires to visit the rival of the Panama canal and Mia gara Falls have been strung around the boxes in the theatre building where the soldiers are holding their meeting.
 The interest already developed in the plan for election of officers for the next year antt~the selection of the next meeting place is a miniature repro duction of the G. o. r. convention un der way in Chicago and dark horse" talk concernfng the selection of suc- cessor to the present state commander is looming up in every knot of dele- gates assembled for the second an- nual reunion.
 Many happy renewals of wartime &C., quaintance have been noted among the Alabamians of the legion. The social features arranged for the vis itors at the convention have kept the delegates on the go since the first ones arrived in the city Monday after noon, the crowning event to be a re- ception and dance at the Anniston Inn Wednesday evening.

SMALL MAJORITY FOR
 COALITION PROBABLE
By Associated Press


 Berlin, June S.-Unofficial returns from thirty-one districts for 3S0 mandates are about equally divided between the pres ent coalition government and the right and left opposition It is generally be- lieved that the allotment of the over flow votes to the empire list will give the coalition enough mandates to secure it a small majority. The parliamentary leaders and press comment agree that the elections are inconclusive and parliamentary chaos is inevitable in view of the awkward party lineup. The Frankfort Gazette pro- nounces the elections "a calamity the ultimate effect of which cannot be cal- culated.''
 The semi-official Allgemeine Zeitung suggests that the coalition, though weak ened, will be obliged to continue at the helm in order to guarantee continuity of affairs until after the Spa confer ence, when new elections will be neces- sary to obtain less ambiguous re- suit.

 Father Collapses of Grief

that we were willing to pay S6,000 ransom and guarantee the abductors' immunity if Blakeley was returned unharmed. The kidnapers have not complied with our demand for proof. They have sent neither ithe night gown worn by Blakeley nor a photograph of him. Today we decided to modify the requirements by accepting film rather than a developed print.
 "We are concerned only with the re- turn of the baby. If the kidnapers get in touch with us we give our word of honor that neither the police nor the newspapers will be advised. The arrest of the abductors means nothing to us."

BANQUET Given to E. E. Doe, Man.
ager of E. l.. Chandler Co.

E. E. Doe had very pleasant sur
prise Wednesday evening, which was
the 18th anniversary of his employ
ment as manager of the E. l.. Chand-
Ter Co., of Orleans.
H. B. Moulton, president of the
company, came to Orleans and asked
Mr.. Doe to go to Irasburg on bust
ness late in the afternoon. They ar
rived back at Orleans about p. M,
and Mr.. Moulton invited Mr.. and Mrs.
Doe to come to the Valley House for
dinner. When Mr.. Doe stepped into
the dining room he was surprised
to see his foremen, "a of them, stand
ing around the table. There were
souvenir menu cards standing by
their plates. A nne picture OF Mr..
Doe was printed on every card, also
the words, Seventeen years of Ser
vice, May 26, 1903-May 26, 1920"
In the back of the card there were
printed the names of the foremen and
their years of service, w. ID. Twom-
bly, being the oldest, being with the
company since 1889. Landlord Par
! lin furnished one of the finest OF
dinners and G. H. Moulton, assistant
superintendent, presented Mr.. Doe
with a platinum and gold Shrine pin
set with diamonds. Mr.. Doe spoke
l a lew WOTQS OI IUdIlhSs CtS., W lis
men and assured them that he owed
great deal of his success to their CO.
operation and efficiency and hoped
that their relations would be as pleas
ant in the future years as in the past.
1t is only the older men who can
realize the changes and improvements
both for the company and his en-
ployees that Mr.. Doe has made since
he came to Orleans. Mr.. Doe has
never had any labor troubles and is
always ready to meet any of his men
to hear any grievance or talk over any
matters for their benefit or the COM
pany's. He was followed by remarks
by H. B. Moulton, president of the
Parker Young company, and many
others. This company has grown IN
Orleans since Mr.. Doe came here IN
1903. At that time there were only
l126 men, and the sales were about
$4,000. per month. There are nearly
300 employed there now and sales
generally average over 100000 per
month Mr.. Doe has. charge of the
manufacturing of the Parker Dung
Co., of Lisbon, II. H. also, where ne
spends about two days per week.
The Lisbon plant is practically the
same as the Orleans plant. G. H
Moulton is assistant superintendent
to Mr.. Doe, and has charge in Mr..
Does absence. 1t was altogether
very enjoyable time.
