Whether a bath can be worth, $10.7

OF it realizes full we'll that it is not
Saturday night will be determined
by the Kansas courts.
w. w. Patterson, former rail-
road fireman, had the bath. But
he insists that he did not need 1t.
And, anyway, in his opinion that
particular bath should net him a
nice financial stake, inasmuch as
the Kansas laws sometimes are
sweeping.
He has filed claim with the city
clerk under the anti-mob law for
alleged injuries received while in
Jail here. Under the Kansas law,
an individual who suffers injury at
the hands of a mob-the law de-
fines a mob as three or more per-
sons acting in concerted manner
can recover from the city OF
town within whose limits the al
legged injuries are received.
Claims He Was Hurt
According to the papers which
Patterson has filed here, while he
was confined in the Jail year ago
13 other prisoners-the number
may be significant for this city

with hands and feet" He insists
that his back was severely

Sheriff, W. T. Clark said today
that it was entirely possible that
Patterson has not performed any
manual labor in a year but he is
certain this is not due to any in
juries received while a guest at
the Jail. He said. that following
the alleged assault, Patterson
made complaint to him and that

II asked the other prisoners
about the matter" said the Sheriff.
They said there has been no as
sault. They held a kangaroo court
to deal with discipline among the
prisoners. Patterson was hailed
before it because other prisoners
complained that he was not sani-
tary.
Patterson defied the court and
cursed it roundly SO several
huskies just took him and saw that
he was cleaned up. He was thrown
into the tub and when they got
through he was clean enough"
Patterson's claim will be dis
posed of by the city counsellor, who
indicated today that be will disal-
low it. Then, under the law, it is
expected that Patterson will bring
a suit against Sheriff Clark, nam
ing the city as co-defendant.

SENATETONICHT

Washington, Aug. 19.-The SEN
ate will end its four months tariff
fight late today with the passage
Of the administration bill by an
overwhelming majority. With the
absence of two Republican sena-
tors generally credited as in oppo-
sition, it was expected that not to
exceed three votes would be cast
against the bill on the majority
side. The general belief was that
these would be Offset by at least
that many votes in support on the
Democratic side.
Although it worked until close to
midnight last night. the senate was
back on the job half an hour earlier
than usual today, in order to clean
up amendments of individual SEN
ators. At the getaway last night it
was agreed that debate should be
limited to five minutes to each SEN
ator on each amendment and that
the administration features, in
cluding the so-called flexible tariff
provisions should first be consid-
cred. -

CONGRESS NOT
EXCITED OVER
HARDING TALK
VIII Make Gesture
Of Aid Lu1v-,
renee Says.
BIZ DAVID LAWRENCE.

(Copyrtght, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, D. c., Aug. 19.-
President Harding's address to con-
gress has failed to excite that au-
gust body. Such Recommendations
for new legislation as Mr.. Harding
made will not be considered at
once, with the possible exception of
the one creating a commission OF
inquiry into the coal business. Con-
gress likes to create commissions
without power and will not hesi-
tate to make a gesture Of assistance
to the executive by providing a fact
finding commission.
Mr.. Harding showed that he
didn't believe congress could do
anything at this time to OBJECT the
rail or coal strikes and that he
was simply paving the way for the
future. With the tariff and the
bonus on it's hands and a deep
seated desire to adjourn congress
and get into the electoral cam
paigns, members are not bestirred
today over the presidents address
and regard it simply as a conven-
lent way the president has to ans
wer critics.
Answer to Outcries.
Many senators in fact urged the
president to make the address so as
to answer the many outcries
against the federal government.
Ever since the massacre at Herrin,
ILL.,. for instance, letters and tele-
grams have been pouring into the
administration urging that some
thing be done. To all this the fed
eral government has tried to ans
wer that it had no power and that
the states alone can punish murder
within their borders. The request
that congress PASS law giving the
federal government power to pun
ish murder if aliens are killed is
based on the theory that the federal
government can constitutionally as
sert the right to fulfill its promises
to foreign governments that their
nationals be protected.
But it will not, of course, touch
American citizens who murder 9TH
Ter American citizens in labor war
fare. This rests with the states
alone. unless they ask specifically
for federal aid.
| How About MexicO7
.Curiously enough the message OF
President Harding in the matter OF
protecting aliens grows out of the
fact that two Mexican citizens are
said to have been killed at Herrin
The federal government of the
United States PUBLICLY declfpes it.

VOLSTEAD ACT
HERE TO STAY.
BRYAN THINKS
Talk of Weakening 1t
Is 'Buncon,be', He
Says.

Hannibal, Mo-, Aug. 19.-All talk
about weakening the Volstead act
is "buncombe." William Jennings
Bryan told an Associated Press
representative in an interview Civ
en- out here today. "The people
who talk it admit that it is, when
they fail to define the change that
they want. So long as the eigh-
teenth amendment remains in the
constitution, the supreme court
cannot permit law authorizing the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquor, and no modification that
does not permit the manufacture
and sale of intoxicants will suit
those who want modification"
Who Wants Alcohol?
What advantage would it be to
the drinker to get a little more al
cohol in his beverage, if he can
not get enough to intoxicate!
Whenever a person becomes spe-
cific and says how much alcohol he
wants, he either offends the 'wets
by asking for too little alcohol, OF
asks for more than the constitu-
tion will permit. The poll of the
Literary Digest shows that only a
light percent desires the repeal OF
the amendment.
"All this talk of wine and beer
coming back is foolishness. The
sentiment in favor of wine is COM
paratively small; the sentiment in
favor Of beer is larger. but moi
large enough to prescribe the use
of beer even as a medicine.
Booze Buried Forever.
Beer cannot be brought bach
without the breweries and the
breweries have been more active
if possible, in the corruption oil
politics than the distilleries.
"The breweries and the distiller.
les have been partners in crime
through the years, but they ar,
now buried in the same grave
face downward, and the women will
see to it that there is no resurreo
tion morn"

PLAN LAW FOR
CLEARING UP
COAL TANGLE
Repub Congress S
Leaders Promise
Speedy Action.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Plans for
carrying out President Harding's
recommendations to congress yes
terday concerning the coal situa-
tion-legislation to control the
present situation, brought about by
the miners strike, and designed to
foresasil similar future difffculties
were under way today. Both
senate and house Republican lead
ers promised speedy action, and
they were said to have the support
of most of the Democratic leaders.
TIL proposed legislation, it was
indicated by leaders, will be con-
fined for the present to measures
to set up an agency to purchase,
sell, and distribute coal in inter
state commerce, and for creation
OF a commission to ascertain the
facts in the coal industry.
Seek Price Control.
The agency proposition which
will be designed primarily to
control prices, it was indicated,
likely would require more time for
consideration than the fact-finding
commission, as some leaders were
said to oppose the recreation Of
any such body as the wartime coal
administration, which they de-
clared was not success.
Other recommendations made by
Mr.. Harding in his address to con-
gress, such as legislation to put
teth" into decisions of the rail-
road labor board and for federal
protection Of aliens, were regarded
as less urgent and were expected
to 60 over until the next session.

could not be recovered in time to
have his life. They reached his
body at 6 o'clock but it was found
necessary to crib the sides of the

body because of the danger of an
other cave-in.
The men imperiled their lives in

bucketful at a time. Several were
exhausted and were taken into Mr..
Patterson's house. At s o'clock
they had uncovered Mr.. ,cung's
head and one arm and then began
taking precautions by walling up
the sides Of the well SO that an
other slide would not occur.

down into the well and answered
