Cured by her father, now serving a
term in the house of correction, Marie
Baker, aged 5, was today sold at auc-

domestic relations to the highest and

The child was knocked down" to
Mr.. and Mrs. John Kenney, wealthy
residents of Renville, Mimi, who had
journeyed to Chicago to attend the

When Marie's mother died year
ago her father took her and himself
to board at the home OF Mrs. A. Stol-
pamin. He fell behind in his payments
and Mrs. Stolpamin brought him into
court on charge of contributing to
the delinquency of a child. When he
could not pay the judge sent him to
the house of correction.
Mrs. Kenney, sister OF the child's
dead mother, heard OF these conditions
and sought to have the child added to
her flock of eight, but the Stolpamins
blocked her efforts. They finally agreed
that the Kenneys might take Marie if
they would pay up all back indebted
ness. Judge Adams arbitrated the
claims and allowed the Stolpamins but

VICTORY FOR SENATOR
REED In MISSOURI
BITTER CAMPAIGN RESULTS
IN HIS NOMINATION TO
SUCCEED HIMSELF.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-After a long and
fiercely fought campaign Missouri
democrats have nominated United
States Senator James A. Reed TO sue
coed himself. He defeated his oppo-
nent, Breckenridge Long, third as
sistant secretary of state, in the Will
son administration, by 1000 votes
Reed received a total of $4,000 votes
The victory of Senator Reed is a
remarkable one. The contest over
Swallowed all other issues in the pri-
mary campaign. The senator, grizzled
veteran OF many campaigns, was bit
terly assailed by followers of Wood
row Wilson, by those who objected
to his war stand, by friends of the
league of nations, prohibition, suffrage
and federal maternity bills, by wo-
mems organizations and by those
democrats in Missouri who assisted in
reading him out of the party in 1920
when the action of his home district
in electing him a delegate to the ma
tional convention at San Francisco
was twice overruled.
Ex-President Wilson took a hand
and in letters to friends in Missouri
condemned Reed as a "marplot." His
opponents formed "rid-us-of Reed
clubs and attacked his record for par
ty regularity.
Reed supporters organized win
with-Reed" clubs, while the senator
defended his policies in vigorous and
stirring speeches throughout the state.

HIGHWAY BOARD
TURNS ROADS BACK
STATE UNABLE TO CONTINUE
THEIR MAINTENANCE IN
MUSCOGEE COUNTY.

COLUMBUS, Ga.-The county has
again assumed control OF the roads in
Muscogee county which were taken
over February IS last by the state &C
cording to the statement of J. B. Key,
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners. This action followed the
consumption of all the funds appro-
priated by the state department for
the roads in this county, until jan
uary, 1923. 1t is understood that when
certain highways in Muscogee county,
the adjacent counties and others in
south Georgia were taken over by the
state that a sum of money was appro-
priated for each county.
Mr.. Key stated that such action of
the state department was totally un-
expected, and would to certain extent
alter the plans of the county in order
that no more money would have to
be secured. The county forces have
been reorganized to care for this addl-
tional work, and some of the work
which was previously planned will be
changed.

Taft and Wilson Differ Widely
In Their Daily Lives in the Capital

No social engagements come into
the present life of Mr.. Wilson. For
mer President Taft has many-din-
ners, luncheons and banquets that in
terfere with his program for reducing
weight Mr.. Taft is always going
somewhere and doing something.
Now and then Washington hears
that the reclusive Mr. Wilson is worse
that his long illness has brought anoth-
err backset. Sometimes newspaper men
are sent to the Wilson residence on
these rumors and invariably informed
that Mr.. Wilson is doing all right.
Few Politicians Call.
Few democratic politicians call up
on Mr.. Wilson. His former secretary,
Joseph P. Tumulty, has seen him but
seldom. There seems to be an i'm
preston in Washington that Mr.. Viii
son. still a sick man, wants to live
quietly with his family and books. DC
casionally one hears that Mr.. Wilson
has seen some democratic senator or
house member and is taking a hand in
pending legislation, but always the
statesman mentioned denies that !. he
has seen Mr.. Wilson or heard from
him. 1t is doubted whether former
President Wilson has attempted in
any way to shape the democratic
course at the capital.
Physically, Mr.. Wilson is said to
have his good and bad days

MUST WORRY ALONG
ON FIFTEEN THOUSAND
CHICAGO JUDGE REFUSES TO
INCREASE YEARLY BUDGET
FOR 11-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

CHICAGO-Miss Rosemary Baur,
who has attained the age OF II, must
worry along for another year on the
pa1try $4,000 the court allowed her
when she was a mere infant OF 10.
Her budget no more than sufficed last
wear, but the court maintained she
must make like sum do for the pres
ent year.
Out of that allowance-$1, 250 a
month-she must provide herself with
clothes and lollypops and servants and
dolls and limousines and roller skates.
There is one rift in the cloud. Rose
mary is part owner OF the Liquid Car
bonic company, and this may enable
her to get her ice cream and sodas
free, or at least at a discount.
The budget was fixed by Probate
Judge Horner at the request of Mrs.
Jacob Baur, Rosemary's mother. Mrs.
Baur filed no bill OF particulars, but
asked that she be permitted to spend
$4,000 OF the S72492 which her
daughters estate earned last year. She
said it costs more than the $3.50 a
month to pay Rosemary's expenses;
but she will make up the difference
from her own fortune.

tank containing more than 1000, 600
cubic feet Of gas at Throop and Flea
nor streets, exploded today. The cause
of the blast has not been determined.
The tank stood in the midst Of a
neighborhood of frame houses, over
run with children. When it exploded
sheets of flames spread for a block,
burning every one it touched, setting
fire to the houses and carrying with
it an explosive force that smashed
windows and bowled over pedestrians.

not far away were thrown down and
burned by the wave of flaming gas.

The tank is one of four built close
together by the Peoples Gas Light &

not reach the other and larger tanks.

ambulances and patrol wagons were

screaming with pain, lay in the streets,
singed by the squirt Of fame No fewer
than ten buildings standing were
ablaze. Frightened men and women
were everywhere trying to care for
the injured, rescue personal belongings
and putting out the fires.
The breath of fire had passed so
quickly that none of those injured was
burned beyond recovery. Policemen
and volunteers picked up the injured
from the playground, the street and

BOOZE HAS ENTERED
POLITICAL CONTESTS
LIQUOR ISSUE A BIG FACTOR
IN SEVERAL STATE ELEC-
TIONS. DRYS FACE FIGHT.

Well defined wet and dry issues have
appeared in two middle western states
in the campaign preceding the prima-
ries. Congressman Volstead has active
opposition in Minnesota, although the
prohibition issue has not been raised
there. The prohibition and anti-prohl-
bition forces are Waging warm cam
paipns in both Ohio and Wisconsin,
open claims being made by both sides
that they will control the next con-
gressional delegation from these two
states.
Ohio will again face the liquor issue
at the statewide primaries on Aug. s,
and the results are expected to be OF
national interest because Ohio IS the
home of the Anti-Saloon League and
several national wet" organizations.
Scores of candidates for congressman
are being besieged for pledges from
both wet and dry organizations. Two
of the gubernatorial aspirants, both re
publicans, c. H. Durand and J. w.
Durnell. have announced platforms IA
oring light wines and beer.
Hot Figh in Wisconsin.
Prohibition enforcement is being
stressed by candidates for all parties in
Wisconsin. In the G. 0. P. field both
factions, one headed by Senator La
Toilette and the other by DR.. w. A.
Garfield. candidate for the United
States senate, have declared for law
enforcement without specifically men
tioning prohibition.
Attorney General Morgan, candidate
for governor in opposition to Govern
or Blaine, who is seeking reelection,
has declared his opposition to return
of beer and wines. Morgan has been
endorsed by the Anti-Saloon League,
which characterizes Blaine as a wet. "
Mayor McHenry, OF Oshkosh, candl-
date for governor, wants a mod1tlca-
ton of the Volstead act and the man
ufacture and sale OF wine and beer IN

now has six avowed proponents OF
light wines and beer, and five who OPP

Grim Reaper Will Decide Who Will
Ouaff Bottle of Rare Wine.

Four of the surviving FIVE members
of the last mans club" held their an
nual banquet in the historic Sawyer
home. in Saltwater, Mimi, few days
ago. Organized in 1884 and originally
comprising "a members OF the First
Minnesota Infantry, Company B, ia
nous in civil war days, the club mem
bers agreed to meet annually for a
banquet and get-together on the ami
versary of the Battle of Bull Run.
In 1886 a bottle of wine was pre-
sented to the club by one of its mem
bers, and it was agreed that this bot
tie should grace the banquet table
each year until one member survives,
and this last man" should drink it as
toast to the departed members.
The bottle OF wine is kept in a vault

clares Uncle Sam Will Not Shout.
der the Entire Burden in Connection
With Coal Strike. Federal Fuel Di-
rector Has Been Named.
President Harding has appointed
Henry c. Spencer to act temporarily
as federal coal administrator. Mr.
Spencer was formerly vice president OF
the Southern railroad, general purchas-
ing agent of the railroad administration
during the war and had charge of ma
tional coal distribution after the dis
solution OF the old fuel administration
AS federal coal administrator Mr.
Spencer becomes administrative mem
Der of the national coal distribution
committee which President Harding
appointed several days ago to ration
the available fuel supply.
Governors of the following states
have undertaken to erect the neces-
sary administration to control profit
eering and distribution of coal within
their states:
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan
Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New
York, New Jersey, Maryland, Penn
sylvania West Virginia, Iowa, Okla
bona, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Louisiana. Kansas already has an
establishment under its industrial
court. 1t is not considered necessary
to establish coal control in the inter
mountain and Pacific states, as they
have supplies of coal and fuel oil.
1t is reiterated at Washington upon
highest authority, that state, such as
Illinois, which has large coal deposits
within its borders, may expect no aid
from the federal government in get
ting its fuel supply until it has ex-
hausted every effort to dig its own
coal.
AT the white house it was stated
that President Harding looks to states
with large coal deposits to do some
of the worrying over the coal problem
themselves and not to look to the fed
eral government to help them out OF
their predicament.
Settlement Near, He Thinks.
Mr. Harding feels that there will be
settlement Of the coal strike and that
the country's fuel needs will be sup
Piled, even though it may have to &C
through a period OF embarrassment
and hardship.
No special efforts are being made by
the president to see that any particu-

to see to it that the whole country
does not suffer for lack of fuel.

PARKS ASSA|LS THE
INCOME TAX MEASURE
SAYS WILL CAUSE MORE Elk
TRAVAGANCE. EQUALIZA-
TON REPEALED.
STIFF FIGHT IN ASSEMBLY

Present Tax Equalization Law Re-
pealed by House, and Senate Ad-
journs in Honor of and Out of
Respect" to That Body.
The long expected fight over the
proposed income tax law began in the
house of representatives Thursday.
The bill gives the legislature the pow
er to levy an income tax of not more
than per cent The Legislature is to
be permitted to make certain exemp-
tons. A provision reducing the ad va
loren tax rate from mills TO 4 mills
is contained in the bill. The measure
is constitutional amendment and
would have to be ratified by the peo-
pie at the polls before becoming eff
fective.
Representative Wyatt, of Troup,
ciaring it was time to put a stop to
all forms of additional taxation. Rep
resentative Parks, of Terrell, spoke
along the same lines. Mr.. Parks said
it would open the way for still great
er extravaganza in appropriations, and
would greatly increase the already
heavy tax burden on the citizens of
the state. The experience of Wiscon-
sin was pointed out as an example of
this.
Representative Landlord, of Toombs,
spoke in favor of the bill. He contend
ed that the burden of taxation is borne
by tangible property, while intangible
and invisible property is not taxed,
and that the only efficient method Of
tax obtaining a revenue from that class
of property is by means of an income
tax.
Equalization Law Repealed.
The house, by the vote 104 to 80,
has repealed the tax equalization law
Representative Parks voted against re-
pealing the law. When the senate
learned OF the action of the house it
adjourned "out of honor and in re-
spect to the house Of representative"
That the senate, to which the bill
was Immediately transmitted, will pass
the measure there is no longer the
slightest doubt. In fact, while ordi-
narily it would take only 70 senate
votes it is now claimed the bill will
poll 80 or 81 votes in the senate.
