AT Alliance of
French and Japs

Paris, June II. - Raymond
Poincare, former president of
France, writing in the Revue Des
Deux Mondes concerning an al
lance between Great Britain and
France, which has Deen discussed
in political circles for the past
few weeks says:
Such an alliance, which might
have the gravest consequences at
some future date and upon which
some day war or peace might
hang. can only be definitely de-
cided upon after mature reflec-
tion.
1--WE are friends OF Japan but
England is the ally OF the mi
kado's government. Tomorrow a
thousand questions may arise in
the Pacific between the United
States and Japan, which would
intensity racial strife.
How far would England be
drawn by her alliance? Nobody
can say. 1t is then, our duty TO
preserve our liberty, SO as not TO
be ourselves involved In entangle-
ments."

Friends OF
Aurora Man
AnnllI Case

Charging that his relatives
were conniving to get control of
his 40 acre farm near Aurora,
friends of Chris C. Smucker ap-
peared before Judge William
Bushey Of the county court in an
effort to annul the proceedings
which were brought to have a
guardian appointeG for him.
According to C. E. Crittenden,
ex-justice of the peace of Auro-
ra, and real estate man, Smucker,
during a stroke of paralysis,
decided his property to his son,
Elmer Smucker. On recovery the
father wanted his property back
and in order to effect an equit-
able settlement, a board of arbi-
tration was appointed composed
of ]. L. Calvert, Rev. John L. EN-
merett and G. N. Bent, which re-

man, but awarded Elmer Smuck-
er $3.50 for the care of the old
man for the rest Of his days.
In order to pay the amount
Chris Smucker mortgaged the
farm for $4,000, and to prevent
it from going out of the hands of
the family, a petition was filed
by Elmer Smucker, Anna Smuck-
er, Elizabeth Yoder and his son
in law, Kenagy, for the appoint
ment of the guardian.
Following the testimony OF
Crittenden, who stated that he
had known Smucker all his life
and that he was fully capable of
taking care OF his own property,
attorneys for the relatives ask
ed for a dismissal of the case,
which was granted by the court.

Stalls For
Taxis,Plan
Sponsors of Parking
Depot Move Would
Allot Each Driver
Specified Space

Details of his plan for a park
ing depot TO accommodate local
taxis and stage line automobiles,
which will be considered by the
city council at its meeting next
Monday night, were further out
lined today by Chief of Police Mof-
fit who said that well defined
spaces should be allotted each of
the fore hire" cars.
These spaces would be granted
to the taxi men upon application, i"
he explained, land it would do
away with all argument relative
to parking locations. Regular
patrons of the drivers would know
exactly where to find each par
ticular chauffeur, and l believe
the drivers, as whole, would
benefit thereby"
AS in many other cities, Chief
Moffitt said, a phone board with
storm protection could be erected
at the parking depot.
Chief Moffitt's plan, which was
evolved, he said, as a result of 'ru-
merous complaints regarding the
present system, has received the
approval of George E. Halvorsen,
mayor; Ralph Thompson, chair
man of the police COMMITTEES OF
the council, and a half-dozen coun-
cilmen. At present the profession
al drivers are allowed to park
wherever they choose. The pro-
posed parking depot would be re-
moved from the busiest part of the
downtown district. The court
house square has been suggested as
a possible location.
Some opposition to the plan has
already been shown, and contro-
versy is expected to develop at
Mondays meeting of the alder
men.
