FESS SUGGESTS LAW
AGAINST DRASTIC TALK
Says Legal Check on Some
Alien Tongues Needed.

WEsTERvILLE, Ohio. July 4.-Declaring
that I'VE may be compelled to forbid by
drastic legislation any and all aliens
from verbally assaulting our Govern
ment on any occasion Representative
S. d. Fess, candidate for the Republican
nomination for United States Senator,
asserted in an address here to-day that
the country must give more attention to
an Americanization program.
"Some of US now are seriously consid-
ering the necessity of requiring all dis
cussion in forum or press where gov
ernmental questions are considered, to
be carried on in the English language
and in the presence of a government
official" he continued. "At times like
these. coming out of a war period where
all fundamental principles of economics
were for the time suspended. and where
much suffering was inevitable. the ag-
tators seize upon the occasion to further
dangerous doctrines by holding the gov
ernment responsible for the ills of all the
times.
such situation calls for united eff
fort. The work cannot be done by leg
islation. 1t must be done by education

Had No Surveillance.

Luck and the laws delays have made
Il not only possible but easy for both
Dier and Lawrence to avoid jail so far
and there is not any good reason why
either should give himself up or be
found for months to come. Both had
ample warning of the indictments; both
knew just how strong the case against
them would be; neither was under sur
veillance. each had or could get the price

ing charge. They were b F. Shrimp
ton and Adam Recklein. The former was
the manager of the Dier house at AZ
New street. Recklein was formerly the
Pittsburgh manager, but came ,n 10 New
York before the failure. Just where
each actually stood is stated in the evil
dence in the bankruptcy proceedings
given by Z. Franklin Gaines:
ben Shrimpton was the real head
of the business at the time of the fall

be. but he quit and went back to Pitts

The same witness. casually, may have
furnished a clew to where Dier is or
may go. He was Dier's right hand man
for a time.
II want to ask you. Mr.. Gaines If
II. d. DER is an American citizen?"
said Saul S. Myers. attorney for the
trustee.
IL don't know whether he has got
ten his final papers or not" replied
Gaines, "He was getting papers out
he is a Canadian-but he was getting
out papers; think his final papers. He
told me some time ago they were due
around July or August"
There was another Canadian lead in
the case of Shrimpton. He too has
been gone from the city for some time
and there are well founded reports that
he is already in Australia. The District
Attorneys Office has little hope OF ap
pretending Shrimpton. Before he left
he was examined in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings and acknowledged being worth
about 100000 He said that he had the
bulk of his funds deposited in Canadian
banks. He was persuaded to give up
$4,000 for the benefit of the creditors
before he left for parts unknown.
Business After Exposure.

serted ignorance of his own buainess,

Dier testified he had been living

corroborated this. but he told alsc OF
Der's living arrangement late last year
and after the failure. He said he had

Happy Days

woke up this morning about half past eight. Ma hit me on the back and says you better hurry or you'll be late" I got 8 biscuit. and a half loaf of bread. About that time Ma, she said, Son. get your cap and don't forget your books, put on a clean shirt, but 1t don't matter about your looks" As I went on up the hill, very slow but with a will, I had my arms full of books and other junk and l wished I was at home in my bunk. When at last got to school the teacher beat me with a rule. And made me sit on the dunce's stool. all this did not agree with me, but I had to take 1t, so you see. For if l didn't well l knew, when I got home Pad whip me too. When the other boys were out and yelling, I stayed in and learned my spelling. l had to write so much my fingers were bleeding. but still l stayed and learned my reading. The girls came by, all dressed in satin. But teacher says, you remain and study your Latin." Then come exams and teacher caught me cheating, the next thing I knew, she caught me eating. She pulled my hair and stamped my toes. Then up from my seat l arose. l made a dash for the door but none too soon. For out behind me came the broom When l was gone, and out of sight, 1 laughed because I got off so light. When I was in bed. and tucked sngly away; l had pleasant dreams of what happened that day.

in complete circle and suddenly squat down. They made little brown, yellow, blue, gray, white and black mass.
 That will be finer said Tot Tim very much delighted.
 Now be right still till l run fast and find the little girl, When l bring her into the back Yard then l want you to come slipping, slipping out from under the house. After that, run. Just as soon as you get to the grass, sit right down. Then make all the chickens march round and round you in ring, Hopping their little wings happily as they march. " If the little hen could have clapped her feet together she would have done so, she was so wild with joy.
 Tot Tim made big strides as he hurried out from under the house. He hoped up through an open win dow and went straight in to lure the little girl to the yard She was cut ting out a dolls dress with big pair of scissors, but what she was think ing very mournfully about was that the little hen hadn't laid any Easter eggs at all-couldnt lay anything but white eggs.
 Tot Tim made her think: "Run out quickly into the yard. Maybe the little girl from next door is there! Out ran little Green Jumper to lhe very corner of the fence. Just as [ e turned around. Tot Tim had arranged his plan so well that the little hen came trooping out from under the house with Blacky, Gray Wing, Brown Boy, Blue Hen, Enow Bell, Yellow Legs. Black and White, 1nky Face, Buttercup, Speckled Jane, rfRht ha- hind her in row, 12 baby chickens long.
 "oh! Ohi" screamed the little green jumper girl, who couldn't be- lieve her eyes.
 Mercy mercy. O. you beautiful things," She screeched even louder than before Then she danced and clapped her hands and cried with joy and every baby chicken began to march round and round the little white hen in ring.
 A Regular Reason
 At which Tot Tim himself was in for surprise. The white nen nad kept very quiet about this, but she had taught every mothers one of her chickens a little song. They sang 1t very loudly-almost shouted 1t: I've are little Easter chickens,
 Black and White and Blue! We have come here just to show you what a right white egg will do. :
 "Oh, gee! Oh, gee!" cried and laughed the little girl getting right down on her knees where, she could fondle every little chick. This Is so much better than any Easter eggs could ever be, Oh, you darling hen. thank you. l was mad at you for laying white eggs-but. oh, l don't want you to- ever lay any other kind but just white ones, all your life
 Then Tot Tim stood around with his fingers in armholes of his vest because he was so pleased with him self, while the little girls whole fam lily and the nanny cook had to come out and smile and admire and exclaim over the Easter chickens. too. And they everyone agreed that the little white hen had sprung the finest Easter egg surprise that ever could possibly be.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-21

thing else Thus Tot Tim and she nearly died laughing the twelfth day after the hen had built her nest un- der the house when they heard the cook say to the little girl:
 "Clar ter goodness, that little white hen done teetotally quit layin'. Now breakfast-and you can't have any Easter eggs"
 Didn't Want White Ones
 The little girl didn't say anything. but she thought:
 q don't care l don't want any Easter eggs that are white. l can see white eggs all the time"
 You wait thought Tot Tim. T am going to make you just about the happiest little girl in Ensley.'
 Tot Tim nudged the little hen on the left wing. Both of them ran laughingly under the house again.
 Now them said Tot Tim. you must sit on these little eggs three weeks-but don't you dare cluck at all; don't you let on that you are sit ting. Don't you let on you have laid a blessed egg in the world
 The little hen, by this time, was just as excited as everything.
 A Surprise
 She was finding way where she could produce some Easter surprises that wouldn't be all of the same colori
 So she spread her little feet out very properly, stretched her wings. and then she sat and she sat and she sat Sometimes she would get so tired she didn't know what to do. But she would console herself with the thought of that glorious day when her work would be done. She spent lot of time rolling her eggs around. and was very busy thinking up lot of fine names.
 Finally, on the very last day, which was the afternoon before Easter, the little hen haa every name thought out Then as healthy "peep-peeps" began to sound from inside of those white eggs, she pridefully began to fit the right names to each little fluffy baby which opened it's bright eyes, stretched out it's little sprightly legs. pushed it's shell off and lowered close to her breast to dry it's downy feathers.
 Some of the names she had to shift about from one chick to another for awhile. But finally she got everyone dubbed just right.
 Often when she was in doubt, she would take up the serious question with Tot Tim. Then together they would settle the very fine cognomen.
 At Last
 At last. oh joy. there were Blacky. Gray Wing. Brown Boy. Blue Hen, Snow Bell, Yellow Legs, Black and White, Inky Face Buttercup, Speck- led Jane, Fluffy and Waddly Duck.
 The latter had tiny, short. fat legs. He was always behind the other little chickens. Everybody had to wait for him now and then.
 Tot Tim told the little mother to hush her babies so that they would not make one sound Then he taught her to make them walk around her
