 Admission was made during the discussion yesterday by Representa- tive Fitzpatrick that the elimination of the tax commission would ''cripple the greatest Republican organization in Connecticut.''

HAY FEVER SEASON
Is AGAIN AT HAND
Ka-choo.


The annual hay fever season of.
fcially opened today.
All orthodox members of the Order
OF the Great Sneeze will start ka-
chooing and will ka-choO and ka.
choo until frost. They will display
the white handkerchief, the emblem
of their organization.
True, there are some who have
been red-eyed and sneezing for days
and some for weeks, but there are al
ways insurgents in any order who
will not follow the regulations. Otta-
wa physicians put tomorrow as the
official day for the opening of the sea
son and say that from then on all
those in good standing will be demon
strating their atfiliatiOn beyond ques-
ton.
Don't send them flowers, is the
physicians advice, especially the gol-
den rod, for it to the devotees of the
sneeze is as Il red rag to a bull.
There are 'cures" for hay fever,
multitudes of them: but in spite of
this the number of those who ka-choo
through the late summer and early
fall increases yearly and the order
grows in strength.

WITNESS IN MOTOR
INN CASE MAKES
MYSTERIOUS EXIT
GIRL FOUND BY THE AUTHORl-
TIES WHO KNEW OF THE TRoU-
BILE AT RIVER AMUSEMENT RE
SORT LEAVES WITHOUT EVEN
TAKING HER CLOTHING.

Without telling the La Sale coun-
ty authorities good bye, or without
even taking her clothing with her,
Jean Paige, the witness in the Motor
Inn lysol case, left the La Sale coun-
ty home, last Friday night. 1t is be-
lieved that Jean departed on an in
terurban car either for the east or
the west, but whether she went that
way or by an auto remains unsolved
Her disappearance is shrouded in
mystery.
An unfortunate part of the hasty
exit of Jean for the La Sale county
authorities is that she was the only
real witness the state was able to
obtain to tell about the case. AT a
hearing last week in Justice of the
Peace koenig's court Jean told what
she knew of Motor Inn. AS result
of her testimony, Ralph Herbold of
Peru, who was on trial for throwing
lysol on Frank Long, was fined 500
and costs for his alleged Joke" This
was the highest fine that could be eX-
tracted from him under such a
charge. Herbold thought it was too
high and took an appeal to the cir
cult court to avoid paying it,
The girl also testified in the case
against Herbold and Edward Koehler,
charging them with keeping a dis
orderly house Herbod and Koch
ler was each fined 800 for operating
a disorderly house. Both took APP
peals in this case.
While Jean was not under arrest,
and had not been committed to the
county farm, she was being held
there as a witness until such time
as the Herbold and Koehler cases
were disposed of Jean claims to be
20 years of age, divorced, and a
member Of a carnival company. She
told the authorities she went to Motor
Inn as an entertainer
Her mother lives in Little Rock
Ark Since she left the county farm
she received letter from her moth
er
1t is said that being compelled t.
testify against Herbold and Koehle
was very distasteful to Jean. She il
said to have been very good friend
with the men.

EFFORT BEING MADE

PROGRAM COMMITTEE SEEKING
TO HAVE FILMS MADE OF GATH.
ERlNG AT STARVED ROCK ON
AUG. rs.

The program committee for the
merchants picnic to be held at
Starved Rock Thursday, Aug. 25. have
made efforts to secure a motion pic
ture concern to film the interesting
events at the park and some of the
important scenery around the park,
the intention being to give the event
county publicity and at the same time
advertise the attractions at the state
park. There is no question about the
value Of a motion picture film and it is
somthing that if properly prepared
and distributed would do more to ad-
Vertlse La Sale county than any other
one thing. Prospects,, however, for
this being accomplished on the date
of the picnic do not appear to be very
favorable
A telegram just received from New
York states that the Pathe News serv.
ice would not be interested in max.
ing pictures Of the picnic. The de-
partment of agriculture, Springfield,
have advised that their several divi-
sions who operate moving pictures
will have their exhibit at the state
fair on Aug. 25 and will therefore be
unable to be on hand.
An industrial film corporation of
Chicago has agreed to come out and
take pictures of the picnic but their
price is so high that it is very improb-
able that the merchants will be able
to raise the money and make arrange
ments for this firm to he on hand, al

FIND BODY OF AN
UNKNOWN WOMAN
IN ILLINOIS RIVER
HER IDENTITY COULD BE UN-
EARTHED BY THE GRUNOY CO.
INVESTIGATORS - BURIED IN
MORRIS.

Morris, Aug. 16.-[Special. IA
search is being instituted here to de-
termine the identity of an unknown
woman whose body was found in the
Illinois river half a mile east of
here Sunday morning. The remains
We're so badly decomposed that they
bore little resemblance to human
being. The lifeless form was found
by Flody Button while he was in a
boat 1t was close TO the bank and
only half covered by water.
DR. W. G. Sachse, coroner held an
inquest at the Davis morgue this
morning which resulted in a verdict
that the woman came to her death
from a cause unknown to the jury.
20 to 80 Years Old.
The woman appears to have been
20 to 80 years old, five feet six inches
TALL weight about 100. The face is
in such condition that no details re-
garding it could be ascertained and
the hair is gone. So far as could be
seen, there were no marks of violence
on the body A pair of shoes worn
by the woman were brown in color,
with moderately high heels, and re-
Gently half-soled. Practically all of
the clothing was so discolored that
even the color was not discernable.
The teeth were fairly good, two being
out. one on each side of the upper
jaw. There was no filling in any OF
the teeth. There were some indica
tions, the coroner stated, that the
woman was in delicate condition,
but decomposition had progressed to
a degree that made it impossible to
definitely establish that point.
The body was buried in Evergreen
cemetery, its condition preventing
keeping it while efforts are continued
to establish identity.

 While the federal reserve banks of Richmond and Dallas would be considerably below their required re- serves today if put upon their own footing" Governor Harding said, they are maintaing them by redis- counting such additional amounts as will be needed The federal reserve bank of Atlanta has for some time maintained it's required reserve with out rediscounting with other reserve banks, although it is quite likely that it will be rediscounting In short time."
 The St. Louis bank. the letter said. has the strongest reserve of any of the federal reserve banks in the cot ten sections and would have no diff ficulty 'in meeting any legitimate demands out of it's own funds"
