Creator of Popularity Record

cumbs in Chicago.

Chicago Nov 19-Frank Bacon,
one Of the most widely known actors
on the American stage as the result of
his extraordinary success in the part
of Bill Jones" in 'Lightnin', which
he helped TO write, died at his hotel
here Sunday.
After four and one half years in the
role, Bacon was compelled by illness
to retire from the cast Of the play a
week ago. He had been suffering from
arterial sclerosis for some time, but
declared he was just tired and would
resume his work in two weeks.
Accompanied by his wife and daugh-
ter, Mrs Mathew Allen, he was taken
to an outlying hotel. in the hope that
he would rally sufficiently to be moved
TO his home in the east. With the
cheerful optimism which characterized
the part of ''Lightnin Bill Jones"
which he created in the play, he in
sisted that he would soon be out, but
he became steadily weaker.
Saturday morning he suffered a
heart attack and fell into coma from
which he never rallied, his death tax
ing place shortly after o'clock Sun
day morning. He is survived by his
widow daughter and a son, Lloyd. of
Los Angeles. The funeral services
will be held in Chicago Wednesday
and the body will be removed to his
boyhood home in California.
Had a Varied Career
Mr.. Bacon was born in Marysville,
Calf, IS years ago. He left school
when he was il years old becoming
successfully Il sheepherder, an adver-
tising solicitor. Il newspaper editor
and candidate for the California as

for political honors, he turned to the
stage. joining stock company in San
Jose. His first role was that Of
"Switchell' in "Ten Nights in a Bar
room" After the San Francisco fire
he went to New York and appeared
in "The Fortune Hunter" Stop
Thief The Cinderella Man and
'Lightnin'.'
Mr. Bacon's greatest success was in
the role of ''Lightnin Bill Jones'" a
part in which he appeared more than

Reporting Service Planned by
Department of Agri-
culture.

Washington, Nov. ia new live
stock reporting service for forecasting
current live stock production. market
able supplies and commercial move
ments, has been organized by the de-
partment of agriculture. The service
will cover the corn belt and the west
ern range states and will function
through state statisticians already con-
nected with the department crop es-
innate work. The cooperation of many
railroads, stockyards, packing plants
and producers organizations for fur
nishing data as a basis for forecastiug
has been obtained.
The new service is part of the de-
partment's program for collecting and
disseminating information bearing up
on agriculture. in an effort to infu-
ence the organization of farm business
on sound economic basis. 1t is be-
heved that statistics on present and
prospective livestock production and
information of current market move
ments will enable purchasers better to
correlate supply with demand there
BY preventing gluts or shortages and
the attending fluctuations in prices.
The following reports are proposed
TO be issued from time to time: Month
ly reports on changes in numbers of
livestock on farms, semi-annudl pig
surveys in March and November.
monthly reports of receipts and ship
ments Of livestock from the corn belt
and western states,s the condition of

What can we say about that Lau-

that everybody is in agreement on the

well for common action.
The principal obstacle between

IONS idea that the powers should adopt
toward the Turk the same attitude they
took toward Germany in 1919, namely,
peace conditions agreed on in advance
by the allies and imposed on the ad-

conditions lacking for such a proceed
ure.
Two Reasons
First, there is Frances attitude
since the Angora incident of 1921, and
poincaires present position today of
seeming opposition toward any prior
allied agreement; secondly, the allies
seem to have no military method of i'm
posing their terms. Consequently.
Kemal would seem to be in good
position at Lausanne to blackmaii the
allies. That is the great danger and
it does not seem to have been averted.

NATIONS MAKE ARMS

Paris. Nov. 10 BY The Associated
Press. While the Lausanne confer
ence is assembled to bring to a final
settlement the last series of wars that
were part and parcel of the great Eu-
ropean conflict, there is still much
speculation as to whether peace or
war will be the outcome of the con-
ference. In many quarters it is felt
that if peace is signed it will be IN
effect a mere truce.
On the one hand. it is known that
the Greeks are already seeking loans
whereby they may be aole to equip
their army and make up for the losses
which they suffered during the retreat
in Asia Minor.
The Greeks feel that if they hold
Salonika it must be by their own
fnds; they have before them the les
4 son Of the. manner ia which the allies
gave 4 large portion of 1'hrace to the
Turks.
On the other hand. it is known that
the Turks are for the moment short
of powder. While they are endeavor-
ing to conclude ard maintain peace so
far as concerns Europe, if it appeared
necessary TO their new national inter
csts. they would not hesitate to use
force of arms to back up what they
feel to be their rights. The Turks
have plenty of fine new field guns,
captured from the Greeks. not count
ing a large number of machine guns
and other they bought last year in job
lots from the United States French,
Italian and British equipment firms.
Russians Making Guns
However, such condition is not
f,-,1-c hn 20
aware that large number Of Russian
nutrition works are actively engaged
in the manufacture of heavy guns and
powder. Whether the Russians will
be able to sell to the Turks the large
quantities Of powder needed in modern
wars is q question. but munition ex-
perts point out that the Turks doubt
less would be able TO purchase from
other sources if the Russians felt they
might need the supplies for their own
purposes.
Although Germany has no large mu1
nitions PLANTS working. it rs certain
that German interests control a big
powder plant operating at Pressbourg,
in Czecho- -Slovakia. Germany, how
ever. will have TO surrender its owner
ship interest in this plant by june
next
Information reaching Paris tends to
discount any new war alarms from any
source at present, with no munition
buying on large scale by any Of the
great powers. Military observers are
keeping sharp eyes Oh Russia's actiyi-
ties with The fact patent that the Bal
kans and central Europe continually
present possibilities Of conflict, due
to unsettled frontiers.

is manufacturing munitions with any
