City Engineer Asks People
To Stop Dumping Moonshine
Mash in SelUers; Clogs EN-

Most Of the residents are of Ger,
man descent and before prohibition
was made the law of the land the
per capita consumption Of beer was
one that the residents were proud
Of That there is still a consump-
ton now of home brew and the
like, the statement Of the city en-
gineer would seem to bear out.
Engineer Boley declared today
that there was no doubt of the ORR
gin OF the grains which his men
find closing the sewers. After his
workmen 60 down a manhole he
says it is necessary that others on
the surface to be ready to rescue
them, as the intoxicating fumes
from the soured mash has serious
effect. Despite this, however, he
says he has no trouble getting all
the workers he wants.
Grain Grows in Sewers.
Some Of the grain that has been
washed down into the sewers has
taken root and sprouted. The re-
suit is that in some of the lesser
used trunk systems there are fields
OF partly grown corn and rye.
"One Of the dangers from this
situation" said the city engineer
today, ''is that the entire sewer sys-
tenn will become clogged and it
will be impossible to flush the home
apparatus. This easily might be-
come. real dangerous"

Foreigners Get Divorces In
Capital Of France.

Paris. July 29.-tBy' The Asso-
Gated Press.)-The increasing
number OF divorces obtained in
Paris by prominent Americans and
other foreigners seeking relief
from matrimonial infelicity has led
to many inquiries as to why the
French capital apparently has be-
come such European Reno Tor
discontented spouses.
The chief magnet appears to be
in the fact that divorce proceedings
may be brought in French courts
with silent east and completed
without even friends and acquaint-
ances becoming aware, at leaet
through the medium Of French
newspapers, that there has been
the slightest ripple on the sea OF
domesticity. Publication of such
proceedings by native newspapers
is criminal olfense on the ground OF
lowering public morals. The news
papers may print the names sol
those involved IL they can obtain
them. and the fact that q divorces

KIDNAPPED SON
OF CONSUL IN
CUBA ESCAPES
Suffers FiUe Dagger
Wounds; Captors
Surrounded.

Sagua, La Grande, Cuba, July -.
Eugene Jova, son of American
consular agent here, who was kid
naped yesterday by bandits and
held for $4,000 ransom, escaped
from his captors early today after
a fight in which he was wounded,
according to the chief Of police
here. The chief said he believed
he had the bandits surrounded.
There were five dagger wounds
in the young mans body when he
was found today in a ranch house
in which he had sought shelter, but
he was able to give the authorities
information which was expected to
lead to the capture Of the bandits.
Tells Of Getaway.
At hospital to which Jova was
hurried for treatment, he told the
police Of his capture Thursday BY
four bandits, one of whom had
stopped him earlier on the road and
asked for a ride in his car. Sc
curely bound he was marched into
the hilly region and kept under
close guard while his captors sent
messenger to Sagua to demand
$4,000 ransom.
Fearing rurale guards, the ban
dts started to march further into
the hill country yesterday. As they
started away, Jova said, he man
aged to loosen his bonds. Seizing
stone he felled the bandit ahead
Of him. The others then attacked
him with daggers, stabbing him five
times. once in the lung. They left
him for dead, but he staggered and
crawled to the ranch house.

REED AND LONG
END BITTEREST
OF CAMPAIGNS
Senator's Strength h
Grolus as Pri-
mary Nears.

St. Louis. July 29.-(By the AS
sociated Press.)-United States
Senator James Al Reed and
Breckenridge Long, third assistant
secretary of state during the Will
son administration, will bring to a
close tonight their campaign for
the Democratic nomination to be de-
cided at the primary election next
Tuesday. Veteran politicians agree
that this contest has been one of
the bitterest waged in this state in
years.
The bitter Democratic contest
has drawn so much attention during
the last three months that little
significance has been attached to
the contest among the six Repub-
lican candidates, Attorney General
Jesse w. Barrett, R. r. Brewster
of Kansas City, State Senator David
M. Proctor, John C. Mckinley, Col
onel John H. Parker, U. S. A, and
William Sacks, who has been max
ing his campaign on beer and
light wine platform.
The third Democratic candidate,
r. L. Young of ST. Joseph, is ex-
pected by politicians to display
strength in his own district prin-
cipally.
Expects Soldier Backing.
Senator Reeds supporters are
expecting many votes from the
ranks of the ex-soldiers because of
his fight for the national soldier
bonus. Herbert Hoover's record as
national food administrator during
the war, the League Of Nations and
other issues opposed in the senate
by Senator Reed, have formed the
basis of his campaign.
When the campaign began three
months ago it was conceded by
politicians that the sentiment was
strongly against Senator Reed, but
this opinion has been changed, the
politicians admit, though Mr.. Long
is still expected to run ahead in the
rural districts. st. Louis and Kan
sas City are regarded as the two
strongholds of the senator, while
several Of the large Democratic
counties are conceded to be strongly
in favor of Mr.. Long. ...
