 IN SUGAR COSTS LAID 10 COOLIDGE
Silent Servant Of MonOp- Oly Is La FOlIette's
 Invective
fRv AasociatNd Press. ]

BALTIMORE, Oct. 27.-Senator Robert Nj. La Toilette, independent candidate for president, in an address here tonight, declared that failures of President Coolidge to put into effect the reduction in sugar duties which he said had been recommended by the tar if commission is costing American housewives one million dollars a week.
 The Sugar trust, Mir. La Follete charged, has been seeking fin every conceivable way" to delay action, and exerted pressure on at least one member of the commission to prevent submission rof report on it's sugar investigation to the President.
 In his speech, the first of six he will deliver during his final week of cam paigning, the Wisconsin senator de- clared it is mot Calvin Coolidge but the silent servant of the private mo- nopoly system that heads the republi' can ticket"
 "On July 31, by vote of three to two, the final report of the sugar in- yestigation, was submitted to President Coolidge" said Senator La Toilette. The majority report signed by Vice Chairman Culbertson and Commissions CTS Costigan and Lewis recommended that the President make reduction in the sugar tariff. The amount of reduc- ton is not known.
 For Three Months
 "For three months, President Cool idle has had this report and recom- mendatioIf~ of the commission. He took 1t with him to Plymouth, Vermont. It was stated that he would make his de- cision immediately after his return. But he has not yet made it. He evi- dently does not intend to make it un- til after the fourth of November. That is what the sugar trust wants.
 Every week that President Cool idge's decision is delayed costs Ameri- can housewives one million dollars. There have been 12 weeks aimee the re- port was first submitted. If after November 4, he fails to order a reduc- tion' and this holds the matter up un- til the fifth of March, when a new president will take his place, the to- tai cost of the delay will amount to about thirty million dollars.
 "Why does President Coolidge delay his decision? l submit few facts:
 The Lineup

GAVE MUCH TIME
 TO VETERANS WORK
fnr A.seolatea Pressl

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Oct. 27. Gen. W. B. HaldemaI, 78, conn nander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, wearing the honors of; long, active years, tonight had answered the final roll call and gone to reioin those comrades in Gray whose cause he had served since it first called him from his school books, a boy of 16.
 General Haldeman, at one time part owner of the Cour- fer Journal, died late today from a heart attack in the Emen ge.ney hospital at Churchill Downs. He was stricken a half hour before while watching the races, his favcrite sport.
 Seated in box, surrounded by scenes and friends he loved, the white haired old soldier complained of feel ing i'll and suggested he should 60 home. He was assisted from the box, but be- fore he could reach his automobile the attack had so affected him it was ilec- essary to call for stretcher to carry him to the track hospital.
 T am Rauseated," he murmured, as he was borne into the hospital. And those were his last words.
 General Haldeman, who had valiantiy resisted the infirmities of age, suffered an attack about two weeks ago while addressing the United Daughters of the Confederacy at their state convention in Frankfort. He was similarly stricken last, Thursday at Churchill Downs, but he had returned to the races, apparent- ly completely recovered. <
 Funeral Wednesday
 He was at the Downs with Mir. and Mrs. Palmer Graham of Louis vile; J. Frazier Bonnie, son-in-law and Mrs. Arthur Krock of New York, wife of former editor of the Louisville Times.
 Soon after General Haldeman was stricken, his chauffeur brought the generals wife, Mrs. Lizzie Richards Haldeman, and his daughter, Mrs. Clara Bruce Haldeman Bonnie, to the Downs. , but he was dead before they arrived. A telegram was sent from the track, notifying Mrs. Anne Espenhain of Akron, Ohio, another daughter.
 Funeral services will be held at 8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church, of which General Haldeman was a trustee. Burial will be in Cave Hill cemetery. General Haldeman will be buried in his full uniform as commander of the Confederate veterans.
 General William Birch Haldeman, soldier, editor and former democratic national committeeman, was born in Louisville, Ky, July 27, 1S46, the son of Water N. Haldeman, founder of the Louisville Courier-J Journal.
 Exiled with his father, during the Civil war, he fought for the south, but after the war returned to the city of his birth.

Kissing Termed Crime
in Puritan NelU England

kissing is considered an u%nhealthful
practice by some people. A few years
ago the physicians of Milwaukee pre-
pared a bill for the absolute suppress
sion of kissing, on the ground that the
practice was hygienically dangerous.
The bill did not become a law, or it
would have made Milwaukee more IA
NOUS, but somewhat similar laws ex-
listed in Puritan New England.
In 1856 Capt. Kemble of Boston was
''set for two hours in the public stocks
for his lewd and unseemly behaviour"
which consisted in kissing his wife
publiquely on the Sabbath day, upon
the doorstep of his house, when he had
just returned from an absence OF
three years." Twelve years later
Jonathan and Susannah Smith were
each fined 5 shillings and costs for
smiling on the Lords day." The smile,
it would appear, was only less heinOuS
than the kiss itself.-Detroit News.

CHAPTER VI
JUDGE Davis Shows His Hand.

Winton's proposal of marriage had
been in nowise an act inspired by the
Of having placed the girl in a
false position. He loved Sheila. When
be was away from her he realized the
folly of his precipitancy; he knew
nothing Of her, and his sense of pru-
dence r~eproached him. But in her pres
ence he felt that without her existence
would be hardly endurable.
He loved her, present or absent !;
only, absent, the conventions of his up
bringing fenced in his mood and babe
him wait. He resolved to wait, and he
was confident that he could win her.
AS soon as work began on the Big
Malopo he meant to give her father the
position of compound manager and to
establish them near him. Meanwhile
he moved from the Continental to an
other hotel of the same type, On the
opposite side Of the market square,
where he slept and took his breakfast
and supper. The rest of the day he
spent on the claim.
On the day following the meeting in
the chamber of commerce Judge
Davis formally acknowledged Winton's
claims. Winton's first act was to dis
charge De Witt and to appoint himself
purser. He was thus in complete con-
troll Of the Big Malopo.
Looking through the cost book in
Judge Davis office, he found that of
the twenty shares not held by himself,
Davis owned eight, and Hanson, the
editor of the Chronicle, five. De Witt,
who was simply the syndicate's dummy,
had one share only. The remaining six
We're distributed among four local men,
n of whom held three and the others
a single share apiece.
Banking upon their ownership of the
claim, the syndicate had obligingly re-
lieved the purser of a large amount of
trouble. They had been incredibly
active since the discovery Of the big
diamond. Machinery had been or
dered, the local brick field was turning
bricks for them, and a dozen trans
port wagons were already on their way
from Taungs, loaded with timber.
were at work in the native ter
securing gangs of laborers.
Winton appointed Ned Burns general
under him. The old man was
very grateful for the position, which
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-02-14

was better than any he had held in his
life, and he was of the greatest aid
to Winton in posting him as to the de-
tails of the work. He cautioned him
against Judge Davis friendliness as
much as De Wits enmity. Neither
man would forego his hopes of obtain
ing the claim on behalf of the syndi-
cate, he said.
Native labor was the chief problem,
the pick of the tribesmen being drawn
off to the Kimberley fields and the
johannesburg gold mines. However,
the syndicate had agents securing
Bechuanaland, and the contracts held
good. The compound was being con
structed rapidly, not on the claim it.
