IMPEACHMENT OF SMALL
DEPENDS UPON ELECTION
Illinois Voters Go to Polls
Today to Cast Ballots in
Primary Election

Springfield, ILL.,, April 1l-An at
tempt to impeach Gov. Len Small by
the next general assembly hinges on
the result of todays primary election
in Illinois, and the election that will
follow.
After one Of the most bitter fights
in Illinois political history the voters
went to the polls today to nominate
party candidates for state treasurer,
Superintendent Of public instruction,
two representatives in congress at
large, one representative in congress
at large to fill vacancy, twenty-five
Representatives in congress. state GEN.
trail committeeman, state senators in
the odd numbered districts, and rep
resentatives in the General Assembly.
The fight in the Republican party
conferred about the senatorial seats.
The administration made its hardest
fight to name its candidates for this
body, as loss Of control would result
in the starting Of impeachment pro-
ceedings growing out Of the lndlct-
ment of the state executive IN this
county on charges Of embezzlement
Of state funds and conspiracy during
his term as state treasurer.
The administration and the oppos-
ing faction in the republican party
had rival candidates for the senate
in every senatorial district in the
state where a state senator was to be
elected.
Oscar Nelson of Geneba, Republi-
can candidate for state treasurer had
no opposition. Superintendent Of Pub
lie instruction, Francis G. Blair, who
has allied himself with no faction,
has no opposition in Addison M. Shell
ton, Crystal Lake. Shelton is the
administration candidate.
Democratic candidates believing the
recent chism in the Republican ranks
will exchange democratic chances,
filed literally. The Democratic con-
test. however, have engendered n"Tc
of the bitterness stirred up by the
Republican battles.

noon, after an adjournment taken in
March, to complete the balance Of
the cases on the February term cal
endar. Petit jurors are to assemble
at the court house tomorrow and it
is expected that the first case to be
taken up at this adjourned term will
be that of the State Of Minnesota
VS.. Henry l.. Melius, on a charge of
improper conduct toward l5-year
old girl. The jury at the regular
February term failed to agree on this
case and was discharcd and a new
trial ordered.
This forenoon, Robert Miller, con-
victed at the February term of court
last year on charge of second de-
gree murder in connection with the
death of Archie Fenton at Carp u
year ago last January, was granted a
change of venue and his trial has been
set to be held at Brainerd June 16.
The motion for change of venue
was granted by Judge B. F. Wright.

trial on the reversal by the state su-
preme court of the decision of Judge
C. W. Stanton, denying the defen-
dant new trial.

GIRLS MAY TAKE PART
In OLYMPlCS IN 1928
Large Number of Girls Schools
Are Now Offering Athletic

Bv Henry L. Farrell

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Chicago, April II Omitted Press)
Girls dashing down the track be-
tween the chalk lines, skinming over
the hurdles and tossing the weights
in mid-field may be a feature of the
1928 Olympic games.
Intercollegiate track meets between
Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Sweetbriar and
other elite schools for girls may be-
come ordinary features Of the outdoor
athletic season in a few years.
William c.. .Prout, president of the
Amateur Athletic Union, is one OF the
authorities who not only believes that
women's sphere in sports is widening
to this point, but is getting ready
for it.
: iWhtin a year, the A. A. U. may
recognize subsidiary body to control
track and field athletics. DR.. Harry
Eaton Stewart, coach of Oakesmere
School and chairman of the National
Woman's Track Athletics Committee,
has already approached the union Off
Gals for recognition.
While it is generally known fact
that women have become important
figures in outdoor sports in England,
France and Germany, the advances
made by American girls in the same
lines are comparatively secret.
In the rush of other big sporting
events, three big girls meets were
virtually lost in the dust last year.
The Eastern Preparatory schools met
at Mamaroneck, New York.; the New
En- GLAND v w q A met at Harvard
and the Grammar school met at Los
Angeles with 5000 entries were huge
successes.
Because of the financial problem
arising from the fact that the girls
compete practically in private without
gate revenue, it is impossible to hold
a national meet for girls, but DR.:
Stewart is making plans now to hold
Geographic meet in May in which

McCumber Reports in Pro-
posed Measure Today After
Months of Deliberation
FRIENDS HAIL 1T AS
REMARKABLE MEASURE
Is Slated for Stormy Time
Both in House and Senate
Under Present Form


Washington, April 1.-The senate
tariff bill, the product of months Of
tireless elaboration. measure de-
signed to protect the American man.
ufacturer, worker and farmer, and to
raise the estimated revenue Of about
$3.50, 100000 a year was report
ed to the senate today by Senator
McCumber, chairman of the finance
committee.
Its friends hailed it as a remark
able piece of work designed to help
American business, shielding it from
the inroads of foreign dumping"
price costs and general competition.
It is described by it's enemies as
tariff protecting American farming
and big business at the cost Of in
creased living prices for the general
public.
Based on the foreign valuation of
goods, it is slated for stormy time
both in the senate and house. An out
standing feature of it is that it raises
rates on farm products and in general
obtains about on par with the Payne
Aldrich bill. The senate hackers say
it will be passed by July with foreign
valuations.
The house ways and means Repub-
licans openly wrathy at ignoring of
their efforts for American valuation,
swear that the foreign valuations must
be ditched if the bill is to 60 through
both houses. Others are saying it
never be ,passed ,his session, but
must await the next term.
There are expected to be fights
from the floor on the prices on Shoes.
Perhaps the biggest row of all will
be dye, silks, sugar and wool.

- wv PSsAxAs aAOA A~NAA1OJAs
What shall be the name of the new

it be called Central Park.
But where is the Central Park going
to be? That's the most interesting
part of it +sz5"
Alderman Smart is very much in

and the Park of course will be vitality
interested.
Petitions are being circulated and
freely signed to designate the block
known as the old high school site as
a public park. The block lies between
Irvine and America avenues and six
tn and seventh streets.
It's veritable "eyesore" now and
should be beautified. What better
use can ba made of this sight now
owned by the people than ! ave
the Park Board, also owned e e
same people, make a beautiful \ u
park of this block. .
This section of the city has sou
very fine homes and should be favore.
with a beauty; spot in the nature of
a public park. Citizens from every
section of the city are signing the
petition and members of the school
board take to the idea kindly.
1t is understood that after the
petitions have been filled, the school
board and park board will be pre-
sented with copies for their consider
alton and approval. Should this plan
meet with the genearl approval Of
both boards, work on the block will
begin immediately.
