bunaI Issue Writ to Okla
h0ma Senate.

strain the legislature from proceeding
with the impeachment charges.

NEW YORK, December 15.-What

tanning room for gambling.
Although Magistrate Levine dis
charged Mrs. Benjamin when convinced
that the Ladies' Thursday Poker Club
was purely Sociable affair a number
OF men iu the court room who thought
1t a somewhat expensive affair, were
patiently shocked. The tale OF women
buying $500 worth of chips to enter
Mrs. Benjanin's 'sociable game" drove
six dazed husbands to none other place
than Poison Petes" for sympathy.

AT this point detectives (ali wear

that the place was pinched.
Several hysterical women immedi.
ately began to speak about their
kiddies, their husbands and their good
names A ride in the patrol wagon
would simply ruin them all-socially.
But the detectives finally decided
merely to take the names of the eight
women and arrest Mrs. Benjamin.

Chinatown is tired of being held

ters into their own hands, and
when Il party of actors and camera
men attempted to film a scene on

run Tor automobiles and safer
places uptown.
Police, assigned to protect the
actors, visited the houses from
which the missiles were hurled.
but not a Chinaman was ruffied
enough to admit he knew what
had been going on.
A Chinatown merchant tonight
pointed out that virtually every
motion picture showing scenes of
CHINATOWN portrayed the section
as being made up of dives and
dlsreputable places. with murder
and shooting matches rife Such
an impression, he declared, was
false. and acted against all the

MOSCOW, December Is. - Discus
sion of methods to bring about great
er characterization of the communist
party in line with the recent resoiu-
tion of the central committee has De-

tarv of the central committee has
sent word to the provinces asking all

luton, but reiterating that no blocs
within the party will be permitted
From the mass of speeches and aru-
cles by various government leaders
rrintad in the official newspaper
Pravfia during the last few days: the
following appears to be the situa-
tion:
strong undercurrent of opposition
within the party 10 strict control by
the higher leaders, such as kamen-
much opportunity for discussion OF
affairs by the rank and file. who in
many cases have to deal with the
concrete questions OF satisfying !ocai
workmen on strike or peasants haru
hit by the economic crisis. This LED
TO the tentative forming OF opposition
groups within the party.
Danger to Dictatorship.
Realizing the danger to the pro
letarian dictatorship, the leaders
sought some method of amelioratlon'
and the party's central committee
accepted resolution advocating
much wider discussions of all prob
lens by the rank and file.
Discussion Of the resolution by the
Moscow communist party has re-
vealed wide differences of opinion
and much criticism. and doubt is en-
pressed in some quarters that tne
existing organization of the party
will carry out real party democracy.
War Minister Trotsky SCENE to be
firmly on, the side of the dlssenters.
Although i'll, he wrote a letter on
the subject, as a result of when
VI. Stain. according to the Pravda,
accuses him of automatically sup
porting the opposition in its strug-
gle with the central committee un-
der the guise of defending the COM
mittee's resolution" and adds: "Trot-
sky is in league with democratic
centralists and the party Of left
communists.
Leads Opposition Attack.
NJ. Saprouoff, secretary Of the central
executive committee of the SoNletS, lea
the attack for the opposition, replying
20 Kamaneff with an outspoken clta-
ton of the difficulties faced by the
rank and file of the party.
One instance cited was that OF party
of workers who, he alleged, We're i'm
prisoned or deported for expressing
views conflicting with the higher party
organization.
The leaders, he said, constantly claim
ed they were carrying out Lenin's pol
icies, but, he added. they should not
try to hide behind the premier. The
party workers should have a chance to
use their own brains.
From the results of the Moscow and
Petrograd party meetings 1t appears
that the leaders have the situation well
in hand against any attempt to split
the party into active groups. but the
promises a hot discussion, as Trotsky
is expected to. be recovered by that

A Treatment Of Petroleum Jelly and Beeswax Will Greatly ProIons tne Life
of Shoes.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Shoes, ever more than most other
articles of clothing. need to be aired
after wearing in order to prevent the
perspiration from rOtting the lining. II
is a good plan. suggests the United
States Department Of Agriculture. in
connection with its home economics
work. to keep them on shoe-trees or
stuffed with tissue paper. because in
his way the wrinkles are forced out
and the original shape is preserved.
Wetting tends to spoil the appearance
of shoes and to shorten their period Of
service; therefore overshoes should be
worn in bad weather to protect the
shoes. If shoes do get wet. they
should be very slowly and carefully
dried. for heat tends to crack the
leather. 1t Is especially important to
restore the shape of wet shoes by
shoe-trees or paper stuffing. Even
with the most careful drying. moisture
tends to rot the threads with which
n shoe Is sewn. and ian ounce of pre-
"ention is worth a pound of cure"
Arctics Afford Protection.
For walking in now or deep mud,
orctics with rubber soles and water
proof cloth tops afford excellent pro-
lection. as do also rubber boots. When
only a little protection is needed, the
slip-on. or sandal, Is comfortable and
economical, for 1t covers the sole of
the shoe but leaves the heel free. All
types of rubber cvershoes are now so
expensive that they should be treated
as carefully as the shoes they protect.
They should be kept away from great
heat, and set fright side up with care"
to prevent their losing shape. They
should also be washed, or brushed so
that the grit on them may not weir
down the surface.
1t Is economy to keep two pairs of
shoes in use and wear them on alter
nate days; the thorough airing on shoe
trees or stuffed with paper keeps them
sresher and more shapely so that each

pair gives longer service. All shoes
should be kept clean and well brushed.
Leather shoes may be rubbed with
vnseline to keep them soft, inc also
to keep moisture from passing so
quickly through the leather. Only
good polishes should be used. In using
paste polishes, a brush Is preferable
to a cloth, MS It will force the paste
into all crevices. The shoes should
stand a few minutes after the paste Is
applied; then they should be brushed
with n fiat. stiff brush and polished
with n cloth OF a buffer, a brush made
of layers of cloth having a mapped
surface. A glove made Of ~sheepskln
with the wool IN. such as is used for
rubbing furniture. Is also very good
for polishing shoes.
Clean Canvas Shoes.
White canvas shoes are usually
cleaned with one of the commercial
preparations for this purpose. If
water ~ used. no more than necessary
should be applied on the shoes and
they must be cleaned on shoe-trees or
stuffed with paper to prevent the can
vas from shrinking. II they are bad
ly solled, they may be washed with
soap that contains whiting. dried. and
II necessary treated with a CONNER
cinl clenner. All traces Of the cleaner
should be carefully wiped from the
edges OF n colored sole; otherwise the
shoe will have n slovenly appearance.
White suede and buckskin shoes are
cleaned In much the same general way.
but with special cleaners made for the
purpose.
II there Is sufficient spnce. n small
chest for holding shoes may be added
to the furnishings OF the bedroom (;
or shoe bags hung on the Inside Of the
closet door are good. Pairs OF bags
In different colors are very useful for
packing shoes when travelling: they

WIND AND FIRE CAUSE LOSS

Notwithstanding on the eastern
slope of the Rocky mountain region,
a severe windstorm, increasing in
velocity from a rate of 80 miles an
hour to between 65 and 10 miles an
hour, left destruction and havoc in its
wake in parts of Denver and nearly a
score of northern Colorado towns and
in farming sections. according to gen.
eral reports reaching Denver.
Fire, famed by the gale, wrought
terror in parts of Denver and virtually
every department in the city was en-
gagged in battling more than a score Of
blazes. The damage was expected to
run into thousands of dollars, although
no official estimate was available.
The storm, which came from the
western Rocky mountains, swept down
on southern Wyoming and northern
Colorado, unroofing houses and de-
molishing numerous frame residences.
No loss of life was reported. Farmers
lost heavily in damage to farm prop
