Two Reasons Assigned to His
Determination to Make
This Speech Stronger :.
ARISES EARLY TODAY TO
POLISH UP HIS POTION
'...t
Something New and Startling
To be Made in Address
Today, Friends Say
tBy United Press)
(By Frank Getty

Chicago, Nov. 2S-Dr. Georges
Clemenceau today has new and
still more bitter pill for America to
swallow Those close to the jungle
forecasted the Tigers rumble would
rise to a roar in his third formal
American speech at the Auditorium
at 400 this afternoon.
Up as the dawn's icy blast swept
in from Lake Michigan, and most
of the city slept, Clemenceau was at
work polishing up his potion he will
invite America to take for it's own
good and the peace of the world.
In his black skull cap and dress
ing gown, he was not unlike chem
ist working with stubby fountain
pen instead with a pestle and mortar.
Two reasons are assigned to his
determination to maxi, today's
speech stronger than any yet deliv-
cred:
/. It may be his friends fear
that he feels his message-the mes
sage from his heart-which he came
personally at the age Of 80 to deliv-
er, is not getting across.
2. Or it may be the reaction OF
the fighter to the suggestion Of his
friends voiced on all sides that he
ease up and sugar-coat his pills.
Whatever the reason, Clemenceau
is statesman as he was a physic-
ian of the old school. "Treat 'em
rough" he once said laughingly and
now he is going to put it into prac-
tice.
There has been, of course, light
er side to the Tigers reception in
the ample, comely, hospitable bosom
of the Windy City. The City, that
was but tiny one when last Glenn
enceau saw it, more than half GEN.
tury ago, paid homage to- its dis
tinguished guest today. Chicago,
in the Tigers own words, has grown
beyond all recognition since those
days in the COS when young Glenn
enceau stood on, it's threshold, but
then so has the Tiger.
Leading citizens in tribute review
ed the empire he has shaken and the
new maps of Europe he has drawn
with his own firm hand since the
days Of the last century and the
adulation Of the city heaped at the
doorstep of the Potter Palmer res
idence on the "gold coast where
Clemcnceau rested and prepared his
speech, gratified the Tiger and ne
barred his teeth. '.''
Something new and something
startling will be in his message de-
livered at the Auditorium, close
friends and counsellors Of the veter-
an statesman declared today. The
Tiger remained adamant on the
point that his messages must ring
clear. When the Tiger of the In
dian jungle feels death coming on,
he goes out and meets death fig ht-
ing, whatever the odds. Something
of this is in the gallant old French
mans attitude, he admits.

Washington, Nov. 2S-A new Le-
viathan of the air--a huge bombinb
plane which can carry 10,C20 pounds
OF. aerial explosives-has been con-
structed by the Army Air Service.
The giant ship called the Barring
bomber uses more than $50 gallons
of gasoline an hour and is construct
ed to carry heavy loads for long dis
tances. 1t has a. tri-plane OF 12O
feet wing spread, and overall length
of, 65, feet and is % feet high. -
The ship shows a great develop
ment over the largest type of bomb
er used in the World War. A total
of 5000 pounds of bombs may be
carried for IL hours. Two, Thousand
gallons of fuel gasoline would be
required for such trip. The plane,
however, can carry 10000 pounds
for seven hours.
To propel this giant ship six 400
horsepower Liberty motors have
been installed. An intricate meter
system has been installed to tell
exactly how each of these motors are
running.
A telephone has been fitted out
to enable conversation between those
in front and rear Of the cabin and
a powerful radio apparatus has been
installed to communicate with the
ground. ..
When parts of the ship were sent
from the factory of the Witteman
Aircraft Corporation at Hasbrouck
Heights, N. j., to the Fairfield Air
Intermediate Depot at Fairfield, O.,
special cars had to be provided by
the railroad and the cars were rout-
ed to avoid certain tunnels through
which the big parts could not have
passed.
The plane soon will be tested out
at Fairfield, Ohio. H..

Washington; Nov. 28-The pro-

in the senate is on. Southern DEM
ocrats, united with strong progress
sive elements of the upper chamber
rallied today for the first attack on
the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill when
it was brought before the upper
house of congress by Republican
leaders.
Practically the same group which
has announced opposition to the Ship
Subsidy is banded together to track
the Dyer bill to death,' and their
threats have borne such a great
warning, that it is indicated repub-
lican chei1sans may Withdraw the
measure within a few days and
make no effort to press it's final pas
sage at the present time. -
Washington, Nov. 2S-A split has
arisen in President .Harding's cab
met over the proposed merger of
the Armour and Morris packing in
terests. Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace, in charge of the enforce
ment of all packer control laws, is
strongly opposed to the consolida-
ton. Attorney General Daugherty,
the law official of the government,
who will conduct an investigation
into the request Of the packers, sees
no legal obstacle to the merger but
favors it. This difference of opin-
ion will be brought up at today's
cabinet meeting. President Harding
will have to make the final decision.

Heated Arguments Are Result
Of Personalities Entered
Into by Speakers
COUNCIL VOTES TO TAKE
NO ACTION ON PETITION
Another Request for Paving
Third Street Voted Down
Monday Evening

What bid fair to be very exclt-
ing session Of the city council, when
that body opened its regular meet
ing in the council rooms to consid-
er the recent petition, for paving OF
several. of Bemidji's prominent
streets was held. Monday evening
with ten members Of the council
present and a. small delegation of
interested citizens on hand.
The meeting resembled in every
way an electrical storm. Opening
in the usual manner with the read
ing of the minutes Of the last ses-
sion and allowing Of the usual large
grist of bills, the oncoming storm
could be distinguished in the dis
5ance. The storm began to rumble
when the petition was re-read and
comments called for. ~" :
In a few minutes the storm broke
and the council members and those
citizens present were unable to es-
CAPE it, although j. P. Lahr, presl-
dent of the council, tried time and
again to restore the meeting to or
der. =e... i5~1g G-z.,I 49,
The whole affair lasted only. a
few minutes but arguments, or rath-
er personalities, were flying thick
and. fast during that period. De-
manding that the personalities be
left out Of. the. discussion, Mr.: sLahr
finally brought the meeting to ord:
er and discussion of the proposed
nayiing was entered into sanely.
From then on the storm gradually
died away and disappeared altoegth-
er when the council voted to lay the
petition on the table. M
This petition for paving was first
presented to- the council at the reg
ular melting two weeks ago, and
notice was given that it would be
considered at this meeting. The pc
tition asked for f19 blocks Of paw
ing as follows: Minnesota avenue
from Fifth to Fifteenth streets,
America avenue from. Second to
Seventh streets, Seventh street from
America to Beltrami and from Bel
trami to Bemidji avenue, and Fifth
street from, America to Minnesota
avenue. It also asked that a bond
election be held to pay for, the street
and avenue intersections. =
Attorney G. W. Campbell appear
ed as they main representative OF
those entering a petition against this
project, protesting such paving in
1928. The protesting petition was
entered by owners Of upper Mimi
esota avenue mostly and also con-
tanned the names Of several property
owners who Withdrew: their names
from the petition asking for The
paving to be done. J. C. Parker
spoke in favor Of the project and
later suggested that if those property

Cros,-Town Congestion

The promise Of Chairman Nc
Aneny Of the Transit Commission
TO use every effort to supply salts
factory cross-town transit under
Forty-second Street will be wei
coined by millions Of residents Of
New York City
Mr.. McAneny favors moving
sidewalk, but says that he is not
committed to one. All that he prom
ises is to use all possible haste in
relieving the congestion at Times
Square and the Grand Central Sta
tion and in extending the pitifully
inadequate subway spur so that it
will run through the entire length
Of New York's busiest east and west
thoroughfare.
In the opinion Of most transit ex-
perts a moving sidewalk would be
Of the greatest service, as il would
make cross-town traffic continuous,
instead Of dumping people at the
various up and down town stations
in blocks Of two or three hundred.
The danger OF accident in stepping
from platform TO platform would be
small-negligible-in comparison to
the present risks incident to over
crowding in the stations.
No part Of the commissions plan
for subway betterments would fur
nish more immediate relief TO the
public than an easily accessible line
from one end Of Forty-second Street
TO the other, with transfer facilities
TO every trunk subway on Manhat-
tan Island and a connection with
the Steinway Tunnel to Long Island
City at its eastern end.

A Municipal Art Center

The plan to erect a great art CEN
ter on Central Park South, to con-
tain a great opera house, a theater,
a concert hall and a. salon for
paintings, raises high hopes.
Such a center, provided it is not
subject TO the whims of politicians
but is administered by men with the
experience and ability Of those who
at present direct the Metropolitan
Museum, the opera house and other
similar ventures, will be Of untold
value. New York can support more
music and art. But the experience
Of the opera. the orchestras and the
museums here and elsewhere shows
that the difficulties Of providing The
best in the arts at low prices are
very great. There is an ever gnawing
deficit, which can be diminished only
by lowering the standards, and hence
the costs, or by contributions from
private or public sources.
The city, in the present case. is
authorized TO purchase the land But
who will supply the money to build,
and, more important still. who will
furnish the running expenses, which,
unless the project is to be executed
in a second rate manner, will be
huge?
The plans, it is understood, are
still in a preparatory stage. This is
perhaps well. The general concep-
ton is certainly excellent. New
York should long ago have had a
"salon" for picture exhibits and an
adequate hall for music. But there
is little ground for believing that
under present conditions the project
will succeed except the management.
be left in competent private hands.
