TWO HANGED
IN ST. LOUIS
Were Found Guilty of Murder
of PatrOlman

St. Louis, July 19.-Charles Mer-
rill, %, and Hugh Pinkley, 35, con-
victed slayers of Patrolman Mi
chael .O'Connor, were hanged late
yesterday. It was the first legal
execution in ST.. Louis in II years.
The double execution was practi-
cally simultaneous. The two men
stood on parallel trapdoors on the,
sixth floor of the city Jail and were
dropped through the ceiling to the
fifth, where Pinkley was pronoun-
ced dead after Is minutes and Mer-
rill after lapse of 10 by Coroner
Edward Richter.
A crowd had gathered outside
the Jail during the afternoon, and
police had difficulty keeping an
avenue clear for the hearses and
undertakes wagon which awaited
the, bodies.
The crime for which Merrill and
Pinkley answered with their lives
occurred April %; 1922. Patrolman
O'Conpor while walking his beat,
was advised of a holdup at pack
ing plant. Entering the office,
|O'Connor discovered two bandits
with drawn revolvers searching
employees. He opened fire shoot
ing over mems heads. One Of the
bandits returned the fire, killing
|O'Connor. They then ran for the
door and encountering Patrolman

BUDGET
FOR NEXT YEAR
is CUT DOW N
Board of Education Fixes
General Levy at 100000
For Ensuing Year
CUT OF $4,000

The city school board, in meet
ing Friday afternoon, fixed the
levy for the ensuing school year
at 100000, exclusive of interest
and sinking fund levies. This is a
reduction Ct about $4,000 from
last years figures, according to
members of the board. A further
reduction might have been attempt
ed, but the board decided to "play
safe" i'm view of the uncertainty of
tax collections.
Last year the levy was fixed al
1928, 900, exclusive of interest and
sinking funds, but all of this was
not levied, the amount exceeding
the statutory limits.
The reduction in the budget for
next year is made possible in part
through an expected decrease in
the enrolment of the high school,
the board having raised the tuition
to outside pupils to figure which
is considerably higher but still is
less than the actual cost of caring
for the pupils. There is a reduc-
zion OF TOUR teachers, salary cuts
for janitors, and less improvements
around buildings are expected to be
necessary.
The 100000 will be augmented
to some extent by fees paid in.
Committees of the beard of edu-
cation for next year also were
named as follows:
Buildings and Grounds-Geo. F.
Will, Chm, w. F. Jones, E. V.
Lair.
Purchasing-W. F. Jones, Chm,

CONFIDENT OF
APPROVAL OF
EXPERT PLAN
General Dawes, in Letter to
Fellow Members, Ex-
presses Confidence

London, July 19.-"Our work
must be and will be approved by
the people of the world because al
ways personal considerations were
unknown in our efforts to point
out the practical, economic and
common sense basis of future CO.
operation between the allies and
Germany" Charles G.. Dawes de-
clared in a message to his fellow
members of the first expert COM
mittee, made public in part today
by Owen d. Young.
The message was in reply to one
of felicitation sent to the vice-pres-
idential nominee of the Republican
party by his fellow members of
the committee which drew up the
Dawes report.
1T is my prayer and expecta-
tion," General Dawes said. "That
the important conference now in
session in London will demonstrate
that the nations are facing away
from the chaos left by the war and
from hatred with sincere deter.
mination to found an enduring and
Christian peace, based on common
good faith"

MONTANAN is
SELECTED FOR
SECOND PLACE

CONTINUED from page one.)
Of the vice presidential nomination.
The letter follows:
have concluded to accept the honor
your committee so generously con-
ferred on me by rendering the NOM
ination for' vice president as the
running mate of the Honorable
Robert M. LaFollette as candidate
for President.
81 have no desire, as you know,
to become a candidate for any Of
flee in the approaching election but
have decided that it is my duty to
accept your call because it appears
to me that by so doing T can serve
the highest interests of the Ameri-
can people.
81 regret exceedingly that the
Democratic party in the recent ma
tional convention in New York so
completely lost sight of the funda-
mental principles of democracy and
ignored the great economic issues
of the present hour. 1t has wanton-
ly abandoned an opportunity for
great public service that never was
so clearly within it's reach and SO
certain to lead to success.
while the farmers of the entire
nation are facing bankruptcy, labor
unemployed, business depressed and
large majority of our citizens suf-
fering from sinister exploitation,
the Republican and Democratic
parties in convention ignored the
call of the unorganized millions who
are the victims of the present econo-
mic disorder and chose leaders
whose training, whose sympathy and
whose social and political associa-
tons are with the great predatory
interests.
On Wall Street
every Democratic leader in and
out of Congress has proclaimed the
Democratic party free from the
faint Of Wall street and has blamed
to some degree the financial inter-
ests centered there, but whose ram
ifications extend far from there, for
the corruption in the Republican
party and discriminatory legislation
against the common people of Amer
lea. What are the people to think
when the standard bearer of their
party is an attorney who represents
these interests, who lives and as
socates with them and who typi-
flies all that big business stands for
Just as much 'as the Republican
nominee.
"In this situation, find myself
unable to support either the Re-
publican candidates, who frankly
admit their reactionary, standpat
policy, or the Democratic candidates
who may claim in we'll chosen
phrases that he is a pro-progressive
but whose training and associations
belle any such pretention.
"Tken, with Davis and Coolidge,
there is only choice for. conserva-
tives4s to make. The uncontrolled
liberal and progressive forces must
ookaelsewhere for leadership.
~ This is time when every one
who claims to be a progressive must
show his colors, must support the
candidacy of Robert M. LaFollette
and the genuinely progressive pro-
gram, or else forever disclaim any
pretense to progressive political &C
ton. 1t is our duty to our country
to give to the progressive and lib
eral forces for this nation an OPP
portunity to express themselves in
the coming election. I"

It
He ran successful business 20 years
ago.
He had built up this business by hard
personal effort.
Those who dealt with him knew that
he could be relied upon, and anything
which he sold was we'll worth the
money.
And he had a fine group of customers.
But customers change. Some of
them die. Some go away. Some get
restless and turn to competitors.
So it was with his customers.
And not enough new ones came to
take their place.
This man worked harder. He studied
his products. He kept them up to
date. In many ways he was the best
posted man in his line of business.
Except for one thing = and on that
one thing his competitors passed him.
He did not keep in touch with old GUS
toners and attract new ones with
sufficient energy.
He believed the old mouse trap" say
ing; that people would beat path to
his door.
But competitors set up along the
beaten path, and the customers were
diverted.
What this man forgot was printing
and 50 the years forgot him. ,.,I-
He forgot to study the progress made
in merchandising. He failed to see
or find out the methods used by 9TH
ers in his same line of business, who
were continually in communication
with his customers, telling them the
advantages of other merchandise,
building confidence in other business
institutions, winning away the people
who had made this one business sue
cessful 20 years ago.
This is not the story of any one bust
ness. tits thetstory of scores of bust
nesses, once successful, but today dis
appeared or disappearing from the
field.
Don't let anyone forget your bust
ness. Keep in touch with your pres
ent market, and open a larger and
larger market by using printing.
Well gladly show you examples of
how many others are doing it. Call
on us.
