JOB HUNTERS LOSE
Harding Avoids Eleventh Hour
Rush of Pie Seekers.
VIII Leave Most Appointments
Up To His Cabinet.

Marion, o., Jan. 14.-Some way of
escaping from the eleventh hour rush
of job hunters which is now swooping
down upon him was sought by Presi-
dent-elect Harding today.
Officeseekers are arriving in such
numbers each day as to seriously i'm
pede his progress in framing the cabi-
net and in solving his complicated in
ternational and domestic problems.
But for the most part they are
doomed to disappointment because
Harding intends to allow his cabinet
members and other important eXecu-
tives to select their employees. A high
percentage of the jobs asked for are
under civil service and are already
filled satisfa ctorily.
Harding had a large appointment
list today. including Theodore Roose-
welt; Senator-elect rnest, Kentucky,
and several congressman.
Ernest was expected to discuss the
proposed appointment of A. T. Hert,
kentucky. to a cabinet post. Roose-
vent has been suggested as a possible
assistant secretary of war

Wife Does the Fasting
Husband Loses Weight
Danvlle, ILL.,, Man Continues Firm in Determination
Against Being Forced Into Church-Pastor Hurries
to Advise Self Starved Woman Cease
Her Campaign.

DanvilIe. ILL.,, Jan. 14.-Mrs. Sadie
Harrington, on the forty-seyenth day
of her fast to force her husband to
join the Church of God, was anxious
today to meet the Rev. G. S Payne,
overseer of the church, who is en-
route here to advise her to eat.
But Mrs. Harrington was not sure
whether she would break her fast,
even if advised by the minister.
"Pll have to see him first and the
two of us will talk it over with God"
she said.
Sister Myrtle Baker, who came from
Vincennes, Ind, to pray with Mrs
Harrington. said she was sure Sadie
plished her purpose of saving Ernie.
Her Determination Grows.
Sister Sadie grows more deter
mined each day in her purpose" said
Sister Myrtle land she is gaining a
victory for the Lord, too"
Asked if she believed Ernie was
weakening, she vehemently answered
in the affirmative.
Have you seen how worried he is?'
she asked. We'll, that is the power
of the Lord working with him, and
Sadie. in spite of all she has gone thru,
is as well as ever while Ernie is losing
weight
Husband Losing Weight.
All of which was true. Ernie said
started to fast.
1T sort of gets my goat" said Err
ME, who always articulates in the ver-
nacular, that she does the fasting for
the family and l lose weight. 7 can't
see that she has lost much and here 1
am falling away to shadow"
Ernie stepped on the scales of his
butcher shop to prove his statement.
The arrow pointed to 1856. He said he
weighed 210 when his wife started to
fast.
"I guess it's the worrying I am do
ing about Sadie he said. Also
there's the inquisitive neighbors and
the newspapers editors who are al
ways heckling me-"
Ernie said he wasn't getting religion
and didn't expect to.
'The Lord has been good to me.
tho" he said, and took me down in his
basement to prove his assertion.
1.-The farmers knew 1 was too busy
with Sadie to visit them, so they sent
me these" he said, pointing to about
100 chickens. Il always had to go
into the country for them before"
Writes Notes Now.
In response to note sent to Mrs.
asking her if she would
not discontinue her fast. the following
determined reply came back:

NO BREAK IN KANS
Head of Farmers Union De.
clares Wheat Will Be Held.
Willing To Accept Loss in De-
flatiOn, But Not All. u

SaHna, Kan. Jan. 14.-''The farm
ers of Kansas will hold their wheat
until they get a fair price for it, de-
clared Maurice McAuliffe, president OF
the Farmers Union of Kansas. COM
menting on charges of bankers that
the farmers are on strike" against
marketing their grain.
AS indicative of the extent of the
farmers ''strike,' McAuliffe said that
only so per cent of the wheat in Kan
sas has been sold while in former years
at this time from 65 to IS per cent of
the wheat had been placed on the
market.
The farmer is willing to accept a
loss in his undertaking" McAuliffe
added, 'in an effort to bring the coun-
try back to a normal basis, co-operat-
ing with the other commercial inter-
estS, but the farmer does not feel that
he should sustain all of the loss. but
is willing to go $3.50 with the other
fellow"
McAuliffe is qualified to speak for
the Kansas farmer. Not only has he
headed the Farmers Union of Kansas,
with it's membership of from $4,000
to 10000, for the last thirteen years.
but he is a genuine tiller of the soil.
He owns and personally operates a
farm of 24O acres three miles east of
here. He has farmed this place for
forty years. He has been resident of
Kansas fifty years.
AS to money matters, McAuliffe ex-
planned that farmers are financing
their business during the strike by
accepting aid from other farmers, in
fact generous. Farmers are also very
careful. in their purchasing, buying
only what they actually need"

TO- DEATH WITH AXE
Former U. S. Commissioner Dragged
From Bed and Slain.

Meridian, Miss, Jan. 14.-Moody
Price, an attorney and until recently
United States commissioner for this
district. was dragged from his bed by
two men early today and literally
hacked to pieces with an axe.
Mrs. Price, asleep in the same room,
was aroused by the disturbance. She
tainted when she saw the attack upon
her husband. She is still unable to
make a statement
Price died about two hours after the
attack occurred. He was unconscious
up TO the time of his death. The police
have been unable thus far to obtain a
clue to the identity of the assaila nts
or developed theory as to the motive
for the killing.
When neighbors reached the Price
home they found the lights on and
Prices body resting in a pool of blood
by the side of his bed.

PARSONS VETERANS JOIN FIGHT.
Legion Post Votes to Help Fight
Townley in Kansas

Parsons, Jan. 1.-THE Parsons post
of the American Legion last night en-
tered the fight against the NOnpar-
tisan league in Kansas and also went
on record in favor of Senator Kim

sale of cigarets to adults and licenses
and bonds dealers.
Judge Finley's boxing bill also was

Soviet Russia Considers Direct
Thrust at India.
London Claims 'sSpring Drive"
Is Not "War Scare"
FIRST ATTACK ON BALTIC
Bolsheviki Already Prepared To
Retake Pre.War Line.
Concentrate on Lithuania To
Prevent League Occupation.

London, Jan. IA. Three military
campaigns, one OF them affecting
Great Britain directly. have been un-
der consideration by the Russian gov
ernment, according to reports today
to the British foreign office.
India Now Threatened.
The three possible theaters, outlined
by an official of the foreign office,
are: The Baltic states; thru Rumania
to Constantinop1e, or thru the eau
causus to India
Accustomed to war scares which
never materialized. the foreign office
investigated carefully after the first
reports of Bolshevik plans emanated
from Paris. 1t was found that espe-
cially extensive movement has been
started for the Baltic drive to reclaim
the prewar Russian lines.
Would Seize Turk Capital.
Dispatches from Athens today lent
color to reports of the Russian pur-
pose to claim Constantinople These
reports said hundred of Bolshevik
agents had appeared in the Turkish
capital to work among remnants of the
Wrangel army there.
The Wrangelites, according to these
reports, were urged to execute a coup
d etat, seize the city. proclaim red"
government and enter imm ediate alli-
ance with Moscow.
First Move On Baltic.
Foreign office Investigations caused
the belief, however, that the first Rus
sian attack will be launched at the
Baltic territories.
Lately it was reported to the foreign
office Russia has been using her in
fluence to prevent Lithuania from re-
ceivinG the mixed troops sent by the
League of Nations to supervise the
Wilma plebiscite.
1t was expected that still larger
red concentrations might be effected
on the Lithuanian boundary to
frighten the country into barring the
leagues forces.

TO DENY PAROLE
Rep. Geddes Urges Rigid En-
fOrcement of Criminal Laws. ,
No Paroles For Conviction in
Murder or Assault.

The first of series of bills tending
to make more rigid the enforcement
of criminal laws of the state reached
the house today when Representative
Geddes offered bill restraining the
parole powers of state officials. His
bills denies the right of parole to per-
sons convicted of murder, forcible as
sault, arson, robbery or theft of motor
cars or trucks.
To Amend Parole Law.
Geddes' bill amends the present pa
role law and defines specifically the
crimes for which paroles shall not be
granted. 1t is one of series of bills
to come before the legislature this
winter tending to make commission of
crime in Kansas a commonplace mat
ter. Several bills restoring capital
punishment or fixing more severe
punishment of criminals convicted un-
der certain statutes have been pro-
posed.
Recently Warden Codding resigned
as head of the Lansing state prison
when he declared that the state board
of administration would no longer
listen to his recomm endations. Cod
ding had presented long lists of names
of convicts whom he desired paroled.
His work was in accord with his plan
for prison reform. When his recon-
mendations were set aside, Codding
asserted that his influence with the
prisoners ceased. Inmates OF the prison,
he stated. no longer looked upon him
as able to secure special privileges and
paroles.
To Deny Parole for Certain Crimes.
The Geddes bill would deny entirely
the right of state boards and officials
to grant paroles to persons convicted
of certain crimes. Additional bills are
expected to urge capital punishment
for certain offenses, with measures
denying the right to extend temporary
paroles under any circumstances or to
any class of prisoners. Under the free
and unrestricted use of the temporary
parole system, vacations have been ex-
tended prison inmates almost at will
of the warden

II. M. Geddes Would Deny Of
flee To Judges.
Industrial Court Members Pre-.
vented From Holding Office.
STOPS GUBERNATORIAL BOOMS
He Charges That Court Is PO-
liticaI Incubator.
Two Judges Already Mentioned
For 1922 Race.

Elimination of politics from the
court of industrial relations is the pur-
pose behind a 'bill introduced in the
house today by K. NJ. Geddes, repre-
sentative from Butler county and
chairman of the house judiciary COM
mittee. Goddess bill denies to any
member of the court the right to ac-
cept any constitutional 'or legal Of
flee or to be a candidate for office
during the term of his appointment or
for a period of one year after such
term expiIes.
The Geddes bill would block guber-
material booms for Judges Reed and
Huggins of the court of industrial re-
lations and would deny to them the
right to seek the nomination in 1922.
It would act as a bar against Judge
HuggIns until after the 1924 campaign.
Political Incubator-Is Charge.
Charges that the industrial court is
being used as a political incubator
would be set aside thru passage of the
Geddes measure. 1t would remove
criticism and suspicion on the grounds
that court judges are playing politics
for the purpose of succeeding to the
governorship or to win other public
position.
measure similar to the one pro-
posed by the Butler county representa-
tive was recently recommended to the
legislature by Fred w. Knapp. retir-
ing state auditor. He asked that the
legislature put a prohibition on politi-
cal aspirations of industrial court
judges for a period of two years after
expiration of their terms. The Geddes
bill limits the time in which they may
seek office to one year after their term
expire.
Geddes Will Fight for Bill.
Geddes has stated that he will make
a fight for the passage of his bill at
this session of the legislature. Re
Gently reports have been current that
Judge Clyde NJ. Reed is to be can
didate for the Republican guberna-
torial nomination in 1922. 1t has also
been rumored that a boom is being
for w. L. Huggins, presiding
judge of the industrial court This
Huggins-Reed row has attracted state
wide attention and resulted in charges |
that politics is being played in indus
trial court matters.
