officers against whom murder charges
were filed by police sergeant Ed f.

Slayton, taxicab driver, in an alley
adjoining what is known as "ku kiux

in the darkness. Nitschke did not eX-
plain why the shooting occurred.
Eighteen of the men previously held

WATSON PREDICTS
BONUS BILL PASSAGE

IN letter dated Dec. 20, and writ
ten in Washington, Senator James E
watson, writing James F. Pace of this
city, expresses his belief that a sol
dler's adjusted compensation bill will
be acted upon favorably during the
present session of congress.
The letter follows:
Dear Mr. Pace: In reply to youl
kind letter of Dec. 10, l wish to state
that there are good reasons to believe
that the soldiers adjusted compensa
ton bill viii be acted on favorably
during the present session OF con
gress.
After the tariff bill is adjusted anC
we know what the income of the gov
eminent will be; and after we make q
sensible adjustment on the loans due
from foreign countries to the United
States, we can then pass bill with {
greater degree of satisfaction than We
now can because the finances of the
nation will be in much better condi
ton. Sincerely vOurs

.SCRAPPING OF SHIPS
TO LEAVE NAVY WITH
Big STEEL SURPLUS
CBy Associated Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-What to do
with some $4,000 tons of steel armor
plate. purchased at a cost of $7,500,000
and now stacked in the Brooklyn navy
yard, is the problem facing officials
of the plant in view of the expected
decision of the navy department to
scrap several war vessels in accord
ance with the terms of the armament
conference treaty.
This huge amount of steel, said to
be worth $500 ton. was ordered for
the two 3,000-ton dreadnoughts South
Dakota and Indiana, which are about
one-third completed. Each piece of
plate weighs from so to rs tons, and
varies in thickness from five to Il
inches. 1t was purchased from the
Bethlehem and Midvale plants, and
from the navy ordnance armor plant
at Charleston, w. Va.
In connection with the problem fac
ing the Brooklyn navy yard. it is
pointed out that some 10000 tons OF
armour plate have been contracted for
| to complete the seven big war vessels

DRY LEADERS HOPE
QUEENSLAND VOTED
DRY AT 1923 POLLS
(By Associated Pressl

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. %
Falling short of making Queensland,
Australia, bone dry by but 10000
votes in it's first attempt three years
ago, the Prohibition Foundation of
America, has begun campaign in
that province which they declare will
terminate when the liquor question is
again voted on in 1923 there.
W. G. Calderwood, for the past %
years a leader of the prohibition
forces in y 1esota. and candidate for
United Us senator on two occas-
ions, has been chosen by the Founda-
ton to organize the dry forces in
Queensland and to wage a ceaseless
campaign there. He will remain in
the Australian province until the ques-
ton is voted upon, whence he will
journey to India and China, where he
also will engage in similar work.
Queensland is about one-fourth as
large as the United States. Dry forces
brought the liquor question to a vote
there three years ago. with the result
that prohibition failed by some 10000
votes, according to George F. Wells, OF
this city, a member of the Founda.
ton.
Subsequently, the United States and
Canada have banned liquor. MI Wells
stated, and in his opinion this makes
the prospect for bringing Queensland
into the dry column much brighter
Mr.. Calderwood departed for for
eign fields last july and will cOutinuc
in prohibition work for three years in
behalf OF the Prohibition Foundation
