Hall Asks for
United Democracy
To Beat Republicans

Boston, June c3.-The burial of all
factional differences within the demo-
cratic party during the coming cam
paign was demanded by Chairman
Cordell Hull of the Democratic Ma
tional committee in an address here
today.
THE Democrats of the country"
said Mr.. Hull, "have an anxious eye
on Massachusetts,. They are depend
ing upon your craftsmanship, tact and
diplomacy to bring the maximum re-
suits at the polls in the November
elections.
There must be perfect harmony
and an absence of friction within the
party to assure Democratic success at
the polls. There are local jealousies
among members 81 the organization
or group antagonism. and the party
suffers My object in coming here is
to promote closer relationship so that
in the coming campaign we may all
touch elbows"
The national chairman said that
there was terrific undertow" against
the present administration and if the
Democratic leaders succeeded in cap
italizing this feeling, they could take
advantage of the greatest opportunity
that had come to the party in 20
wears.

CEN. LORD, native ROCKLAND,
EX-NEWSPAPER man TO SUCCEED
Dawes AS DIRECTOR BUDGET

Washington, June e3.-Selection of
Brig. General H. NJ. Lord, chief of
finance of the War Department, to
succeed Charles G. Dawes as director
of the budget was announced today
at the White House.
General Lord for some time has
been generally regarded as the pro-
bable successor of Director Dawes
who will retire June so, in accordance
with his understanding with Presi-
dent Harding that he would guide the
budget bureau only through the first
year of its life. General Lord who
is a native of Rockland. Maine, is a
former newspaper man but has been
in the army since 1898. He became
finance officer of the army after
having served for several years as
assistant to Major General Goethals
who held that position.
The White House in letting it be
known that General Lord would be-
come the new budget director said
that expenditures of the government
for the fiscal year 1922 would be ST.
750,00o,000 less than for the fiscal
year 1921. This amount, it was as
serted indicates a saving of $780,
100000 more than has been previous
ly estimated.
President Harding, it was said, is
disposed to regard the general result
as largely attributory to the work of
Director Dawes.

while the current volume Of retail
trade in Boston is relatively larger
than elsewhere in New England" the
review said, "the May sales Of another
group Of department stores scattered
throughout this district We're almost
equal to the sales of the same month
last year. and were slightly less than
in April. There was much more Of a
decline from April to May in 1921 than
IN this year, SO that the recent volume
of retail trade should be considered as
favorable.

General Forecast

High pressure prevailed Friday
night generally east Of the MISSISSIPPI
pi and in the far northwest. At the
same time pressure was abnormally
lower north of the region of the
Graf Lakes and along the Mexican
border. This pressure distribution has
been attended by an eastward move
ment of the western warm wave which
now is general in the great central
valley and the southwest. Temper
atures exceeding 80 degrees were re-
ported over the Mississippi and lower
Missouri valleys. The highest tenn
perature was 100 degrees at Mime
apolis, MINI. Moderate temperatures
continued throughout the eastern
states during Friday.
There have been scattered showers
within the last "a hours in the North
Atlantic states.
The outlook is for generally fair
weather Saturday and Sunday in the
Atlantic states except local, showers.
The weather will become considerably
warmer Saturday in the Atlantic
states and warm weather will con-
tinue Sunday in the eastern and
southern states.
Winds north of Sandy Hook will be
moderate southwest and weather fair
Saturday.

plan of Maine availing herself of
federal aid under the provisions of
the Sheppard Towner act, so-called,
for the protection Of maternity and
infancy. The hearing on the measure
lasted for several hours in the coun-

The principal opponents for the
proposition were DR.. Clarence F..
Kendall, State commissioner of
health, DR.. A. G. Young of the State
department Of health, DR.. S. j. Beach
and Mrs. Hilda l.. Ives of Portland
and Miss Mabel Conner of Augusta.
Vigorous opposition to the measure
was presented by Right Rev. Louis

Catholic diocese of Maine, Mrs.

pairing the ravages Of the rain and

Water was still rising today in
Megunticook lake and fears for the
safety of several dams in Megunti-

The Camden Wooden mill owes it's
survival, officials believe, to the fact
that the Millville bridge was down

steam shovel and other apparatus
are being used to strengthen the
weakened dam.
Total damage in the mill section
was said to be close to $4,000. Only
a few looms were in operation today.

Pleads for More

proportion to the number OF child
caring agencies in the country and
their total expenditures, the net re-
suits looking to the improvement Of
living conditions affecting children
are negligible, J. Prentice Murphy of
Philadelphia, executive secretary of
the Children's Bureau Of that city,
said in an address tonight before
the National Conference of Social
work here.
The budget of the federal chill
drcn's bureau has at no time in the
history exceeded 100000 in given
year: yet its total cumulative Feet
on the work of making conditions
better for childhood throughout the
whole country is undoubtedly great
er than the combined services OF a
vast number of so-called children's
organizations spending hundreds of
millions" Mr.. Murphy said.
Mr.. Murphy added:
Conditions holding amongst child
caring agencies in different parts of
the country show the utter impossi-
bilty of undermining even g. fair
proportion of them. What they do
represent futility in the face OF a
great need. 1t is better to keep a
child with it's mother, even If the
care is less than average, than to
provide good acre under foster aus
pices. 1t is better that a thousand
children receive good health super
vision and that their early difficult
tics are anticipated through social
work in the public schools than that
100 be given superlatively fine care
under foster auspices.
Maternity homes have little or no
effect on the problem Of illegitimacy.
The industrial. recreational and So
cial condition leading to the break
down OF individual lives goes on
quite untouched.
1--WE are safe in saying that rela-
lively few of the army of s. 900 or
more children cared for away from
their homes at this moment in the
United States are insured anything
other than indifferent care.
THE honest realization of this
condition made necessary by ele-
mental factors which we have hither-
to ignored will force US to use our
money. not for orphan asylums. but
to keep children from becoming de-
linqucnts, to use our money not to
maintain an army Of professional
workers providin, foster car but to
see to it that very few children are
denied the privileges which so with

HERR|N MASSACRE

Herrin, Ills, June 23.-(By A. P)-
The massacre of non union miners in
the woods near the Strip mine of the
Southern Illinois Coal Company,
where they were employed, was the
act of mob which got beyond the
control of the cooler element, which
was attempting to escort the captives
to Herrin to 'show them off to the
boys" according to information
CLEANED today.
The leaders, it vas said, finally
were compelled 70 yield to the clam
ors of the mob that the prisoners
beat it." The fleeing men thereupon
were shot doAn. beaten to death and
one was known TO have been hanged.

AS soon as ''' "A Strip employees

advised that the prisoners be march

The cooler elemeNt marched just
behind the prisoners, who were at
the head of the procession, and the
disorderly element flociled behind and
beside them.
There were cries Of beat it," which
grew into a chorus, but the leaders
withstood the demand until they ar
rived at wooded ction about three
miles from here. There the clamor
increased and tie mob pressed
around the fea- stricken prisoners.
some of whom .-7umbled, evidently in
prayer.
Witnesses say the leaders, feeling
unable longer to resist the crowds

Yes, you'd better beat it."
Then followed the massacre.
How many of the prisoners realized
that it was to b a flight of death
Will never be known.
Between the read and the woods
on the right side there was a barbed
wire fence. Most of the prisoners,

climbing through the fence. They
had difficulty with their suit cases.
There were shouts of drop your

which appealed to the humor of tn i.
jeering mob. Most of the prisoners
dropped their s,uitcases and scramble
ed through and hurried into the
woods.
The shooting was under way ana
the killing was on throughout the
woods. Men were running and do.lg-
ing and crowds were following and

crowd closed IN and fired a volley
