CARPENTER IS DUE
TO HAVE FAST TRIP.

DR.. John Barleycorn, the noted
inebriate, cooled off his hot-toddy
long enough to pause between sips.
When approached on the subject
matter at hand, he banked the fire
in his corncob pipe, parked his
reels on his old lady's best chunk of
table linen and deposed as follows:
Carpenter has nominated him
self for the swiftest trip a man ever
took. The approximate time it will
take his head to hit the resin is in
determinable. They don't measure
time in such short gasps. When
the Frenchman awakens, Dempsey
will be in the home for aged and in
fIrm."
For a rancid bit Of editorial opin-
ion, you can't beat that. You can't
even equal it. Barleycorn's ideas
are well worth forgetting.
Next broke into the domestic
domicile of Mr.. Finnan Haddie to
get an earful of what may unreal
sonably be expected to happen in
Jersey City July 2 next Mr.. Had
die wasn't at home, but Mrs. Had
die spoke for him, as she usually
does.
MRS. HADDTE SPEAKS
FOR HUSBAND. AS USUAL.
You may tell the waiting world
that Mr.. Haddie thinks the night
should be stopped before it is
started.
There should be law in Jersey
protecting the anemic and defense
less from brutal treatment at the
hands of their betters.
'If i had my way, I'd spank Mr..
Carpenter and send him home to
his mother.
"All the women In America think
the same as l do. l know, cause
they told me So"

quential interviews will be rem

NEW ATTACK MADE
ON VOLSTEAD ACT
Chicago DistiIIers Sue for Per-
mission to Sell Liquor for
Medicinal Use
$500,0OO STOCK INVOLVED
BY the Associated Press

Chicago. June %. - 4 suit to test
provisions of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the Nolstcad law was brought
in United States District Court today
by former Senator J. Hamilton Lewis in
an attempt to recover whisky. valued at
$500 900, stored in Chicago warehouses.
The plaintiffs are distillcrs and 100
owners of bonded whisky. The bill does
not attack the validity of the prohibit
tion amendment or of the Volstead law,
but alleges no provision of either meas
ure can apply to whisky deposited in
Government warehouses by the dircc-
tion of the Government before either
measure was passed. where the goods
are now owned by the same owners who
deposited the liquors on n contract to
have it returned when the Government
tax was paid.
The principal new point of the com.
plainantS IS that the provision Of the
Constitution against manufacture of
liquor referred to manufacture after,
and not before. passage of the amend
ment.
The complainants. who state they do
not desire 10 use the liquor for beverage
purposes, ask for a mandatory injunc-
tiOn compelling the Collector Of Internal
Revenue to order Government ware
houses to deliver the property 10 the
holders Of the certificates, and enj0in
ing national and State officers from in
reference after the owners have taken
possession. The plaintiffs claim they
have q right. under the law. to sell the
whisky for medicinal or mechanical pur-
poses.

the French nurse Of Miss Deacon'S
childhood days. She was given one Of

presence at the ceremony had been
especially provided for by the bride,

nurse. After the ceremony Madame
Deodat. assisted by two maids, super

PhiladeIphian at Des Moines Con-
Vention Pleads for Innovations
and Initiative

Des MOines. June 2J.-(By A. PD
Payment Of salaries to Sunday school
teachers was advocated here today be-
fore the Northern Baptist Convention.
The speaker, DR.. Henry +. Tralle, Of
the American Baptist Publication So
cicty. Philadelphia, made a special plea
for initiative in trying oUt new ideas
Pattern after Edison" he urged.
Workers must understand that the
objective of the Sunday school is u
Christianized, developed, socialiaed re-
ligiOuS life. involving far more than a
mere acquiring of biblical facts.
Get away from the penny basis"
The average contribution in the Sun
DAY school is about three cents per mem
Der, according to Or. Trallp. who
warned that the training of children to
this scale of giving means disaster to
the future. He told of one church which
spends S2500 yearly on its choir and
only $3.50 on its Sunday school.
Good church business" the speaker
exclaimed, demands the payment of
at least nominal salaries to Sunday
school teachers
Church architecture. he said. needs to
be changed TO provide adequately for
educational and recreational needs of
members, with twice as much foo.
space for these phases of work as to the
preaching.

sentatives for new meeting with the
Government and the coal mine owners,
decided upon last night with the OBJ =
ject of obtaining a settlement of the coal

Premier Lloyd George. This morning

timistic over the possibility of an immc-
diate settlement of the strike, which
Low has been in progress nearly three
months.
The decision TO attempt the reopening
OF negotiations was reached at a meet
ing of the Executive Committee of the
miners union last night. This step was
influenced. it was declared, by the fail
ure of the miners to secure financial
support from other trade unions and the
reluctance of other labor organizations
10 join with the miners for industrial
action to enforce their mutual demands.
The hope was evyressed that the
Government would rrhrw its offer to
grant a zen million bvund sterling sub
sidy to the coal industry MS an aid to
the settlement.
Both the miners and owners promptly
accepted Mr.. Lloyd Georges invitation
to the conference.

laborer, who. police said, confessed TO
the murder of Mrs. Winnie 8. Bart
lett, wealthy widow. in her home hero
last Wednesday, was formally charged
with the crime today after he had re
peated his statement to District At
torney Weeks.

the statement that he killed Mrs. Bart
lett with a chisel while on his second
visit to the house under pretext Of pur-
chasing the property. Police said Ku-
bal told them he had never heard Of
Mrs. Bartlett until the morning of the
murder. He was on his way to the
house to look for work when he noticed
small boys stealing cherries from the
orchard, he was reported to have said,
-and asked them IL they were not afraid
they would be caught. The boys gave
Kubal the first intimation that a
wealthy widow lived in the house.
A fountain pen twirled nervously in
the hands Of the murdered woman, the
alleged confession said, supplied the in
centive to the crime. Kubal was said to
have told the police he had asked Mrs.
Bartlett for $500 and that she refused
and twirled the pen nervously and this
caused it to come into his mind to kill
her. First, however, police said. he

that he saw her trying to unloosen the
cap Of the pen.
Kubal was born in Poland and has
a wife and two children. He has served
