Hayward.
In afidavits filed with Vice Chan

ward declared the game took so
much of her husbands S leisure that
she scarcely ever saw him; that her
lack Of interest in golf caused him
to be cruel to her, and that he spent
money in pursuit Of his hobby that
he should have spent maintaining
her and their two children.
Mr.. Hayward's answer denies
golf is responsible for their marital
difficulties, which he attributes to
difficulties with Mrs Hayward S
relatives and to her discovery that
he was not as wealthy as she had
believed.

turn of Prosperity.

Washington, July 2S.-Onited
Press. Farmers first to feel the
pinch of the nationwide economic
depression, now are beginning,
ahead or any other classes of bust
ness, to experience a return to
prosperity.
One of the greatest grain move
ments in history now is crowding
the facilities of the railroads, ac-
cording to reports received by the
association of railway executives.
Grain shipments during the last
five weeks broke records Of more
than two years standing.
Cars loaded with grain totaled
nearly 29S,0O0 during June and the
first two weeks of July, the records
show. During the week ended July
16 alone, grain loadings totaled
nearly $1,000 cars. Farmers are
crowding grain to market IN such
quantities that in some places there
is not sufficient elevator storage
space. Difficulty in handling grain
receipts was reported at Chicago

URGES ENGLISH
TO BE PATIENT
ON IRISH PEACE
High Chancellor Fore
casts Long Nego-
tidfion.

London, July 2S.-Speculations
and predictions regarding the Irish
situation have taken many peculiar
turns as a result of developments
featuring the negotiations during
the past "a hours.
Of these developments, perhaps
the most talked of is a speech made
in the house of lords yesterday by
Lord Birkenhead, lord high chancel-
lor in which he invited parliament
and the country to have patience
with the trouble Eamonn de Valera,
Irish republican leader, and his COL
leagues may be having in Dublin, to
reach a decision on the British pro-
posals. He also intimated that the
negotiations may continued for
several weeks.
Other outstanding features of the
day were prolonged discussions of
the proposals by the Irish repub-
lican cabinet; communication
Premier Lloyd George is reported to
have received from Mr.. de Valera;
and the postponement by General j.
G. Smuts of his departure for South
Africa until Aug. 3.
The communication from de
Valera is reported to have asked for
further elucidation on several
doubtful points in the proposals,
while the action of General Smuts
in remaining here, is taken to mean
that he feels his services as med
iator may again be needed.
All these things taken together
I Ia re
to believe that several days may
pass before any additional develop
ments will be noted.
No Reply Made
London, july 28.-tUnited Press.)
An official denial that Sim Fein
has yet replied to the British peace
offer was issued on behalf OF
Premier Lloyd George today.

Springfield, III, July s2S.-With
Governor Smalls whereabouts still
a mystery here today. attorneys for
Carl o. Wanderer, sentenced to
hang tomorrow for the murder OF
the ragged stranger" were hover
ing about the capitol awaiting a
decision by the executive on their
application for clemency for the
former soldier.
At the governors office it was
said a decision by the executive
OF the Wanderer case was expect
&c momentarily Whether the gov
ernor would announce the fate
of Wandere- in Chicago or through
his office in the capitol seemed un-
certain.
The fight to save Wanderer from
the gallows was made by W. D.
Bartholomew, Chicago attorney,
waiting here for the governor 20
act.
1t was believed that Governor
Small reached a decision on Wan
derer's application for clemency
several days ago and was withhold
ing announcement of his action in
the case.
In discussing the case of the for
mer army officer some time ago
Governor Small mentioned the pos
sibility of Wanderers mind having
become deranged by the horrors of
war.
This statement was recalled to-
day as the fate of the man who shot
and killed his wife and an un-
identified man, duped into a ficti-
tious holdup, hung in the balan ce.
Legion Head Acts.
Springfield, Ill, July 28.-Exam-
nation by a commission of alien
lists to determine the question of
Carl Wanderers sanity was asked
Of Governor Small today by Will
liam R. McCaulay, state command
er of the American Legion.
Wanderer, condemned to hang to-
morrow. was waiting for Small TO
act on a plea for clemency.
"If Wanderer is sane he should
hang" McCauley said. IF he Is
insane, he should be locked up for
life"
Commander McCauley's letter
went to the governors office this
morning
II was told that a letter sent
there would reach him" Mr.. Nc
Cauley said in discussing the mys-
terry of the governors whereabouts.
The letter follows:
Information has reached me
which creates a doubt in my mind
as to the sanity of Carl Wanderer,
who is now under death sentence.
The informa ton that l have re
ceived directly and indirectly is
from such authorities as DR.. j.
Whitney Hall, Dr. Harold n. Meyer,
Dr. w. ]. Hickson, DR.. Florence y.
Fowler, DR.. +. B. Russell and DR..
Alexander Herschfield.
Il feel that if sufficient time is
granted for you to appoint a COM
mission to make a thorough exam
il alton as to his sanity no great
harm can come to the people of the
state of Illinois. Every safeguard
possible should be thrown around
a man where the question OF san
ity is raised. If the commission Sc
lected by you finds that he is sane.
the people have lost nothing as he
then would pay tho death penalty.
Should this commission report that
he is insane, it is not the will of
the people Of Illinois that an in
sane man be hanged. but that he
be confined SO that society will he

giving this matter immediate con-
sideration."

OLD THREE CENT
POSTAGE RATE
MAY COME BACK
To r epe al Excess
Profits and Cut
SurtdxeS.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, July 28.-Tax pro-
grams are like time tables-sub-
ject to change without notice. But
certain principles have been agreed
upon by President Harding and ad-
ministration leaders which can be
of some guidance to tax payers
Those principles, as explained at
the White house. do not necessarily
commit the administration to a cut
and dried procedure which will
prevent change of mind. In 9TH
er words, nothing is final until it
is actually in the bill that passes
both houses, but so far as anyone
can foresee, indeed the best judg-
ment that can be marshalled at
present, leads to the following con-
clusions:
First, the excess profits tax must
be repealed. This action will be
taken pot merely because the rev.
enue from excess profits has di-
minished to Such an extent that il
compares unfavorably with the i'm
mense amount of damage done to
business as a whole through the
restraints placed upon individual
enterprise, initiative and expansion
Three-Cent Postage.
Second the return to Scent post
age for first class mail This step
is to be taken reluctantly by the
Republican administration. for the
shrewd Albert Sydney Burleson,
postmaster general under the Dem
ocratic administration. took off the
extra cent, and the fear is that
Democratic campaign orators will
point to the extra postage as a
sign that the poor mans burdens
have not been decreased but in
creased. Nevertheless the Scent
tax is favored as a great revenue
producer and as the best means of
getting better postal service. Will
Hays. the new postmaster general.
is trying to produce an efficient
postal service and is making good
headway.
He finds it necessary to spend
money to get efficiency. He has
been told by business men to go
ahead and incur a deficit but de-
liver the mails on time So the
price of efficiency is an extra cent
on postage. The general opinion
is that the stamp tax will hardly
be felt.
Cut Surtaxes.
Third, cutting down Of the large
surfaces. The hardest thing in the
world to explain to the average tax
payer is the why and the where
fore of the surtax. The income tax
pIanks give no inkling as to how
the scientific tax experts devised it
and the tax payer doesn't see any
particular scheme of percentages
behind it. The large surtaxes have,
| however, operated like the excess
profits taxes to destroy initiative at
the very time when men Of capital
should be using it to promote
American enterprises. giving en-
| ployment to the unemployed and
starting the wheels Of business and
/ industry on the road TO sound and
uninfated prosperity. That there
! will be a dimunition of large sur
taxes can be taken for granted.
: Fourth, all the schemes for sales
/ tax, turnover tax, production tax
or consumers tax will go by the
/ boards. That's the trend at pres
