INDICT KISSANE
FOR SHOOTING AT
TEAMSTER DANCE
G UNI an Was Not
Union Member

Anthony Kissane was indicted
yesterday for the murder of William
Newman, who was killed at a dance
Of the Chicago Transfers Union
held in Ashland Auditorium, Satur-
day night. Six others were wounded
in the same ARRAY. Kissane's in
dictment followed an inquest held at
1920 w. Harrison St., where police
failed to connect the shooting with
differences between the Chicago
Transfers Union and the Interna-
tional organization, as newspapers
had alleged.
From the testimony of witnesses
it appears that Kissane, said to be
a well known beer runner and DO
lice character, came to the dance as
guest and was asked to leave and
later came back to "shoot up the
works" He and two other men, ac-
cording to William Buckingham who
was at the dance, came thru a win
dow on the north side of the hall
and started shooting. Buckingham
knocked Kissane down and held him
till police arrived. Kissane's two
companions escaped.
The shooting nearly caused a riot.
Kissane was severely beaten and
kicked while being held by Fitch
ingham before the arrival of the
police. Kissane is said to have car
ried two guns when he came into
the hall thru a window and began
shooting. Behind him was an I'M
known man with an automatic pis-
toll and a third man followed with
a sawed off shot gun. AS soon
as they got into the hall they OPEN
ed fire, wounding six men.
The wounded were: Maurice An
nenberg. 2645 Augusta Ave; Oil
ver Vanderpool, 207 Throop St.:
Charles Macy, haywood, III; wiz
liam Barry, E. Pearson St.; George
Smallex, 2435 S. Ayers Ave-. and
John Heating, 1856 w. Harrison st.
At the inquest the police were
unable to prove that Kissane has
now or ever had connection with any
labor union.

GERMAN AIR EXPERTS
SEEK FORD BACKING
Want Auto Magnate to Go in for
Mass Production of ALL
Metal Planes.
By the Associated Press.


DETROIT. Mich, June 26-Dr.
Hugo Junkers, German scientist and
aeronautical authority. will confer
with Henry Ford and Edsel Ford to-
day in an effort to induce the auto
mobile manufacturers to join with
him in equipping the word .r'-r -
metal airpIanes and furnishing the
United States with a dependa bic air
passenger service. JunktrS am. l.. :,
party arrived in Detroit unannounced
Sunday and conferred with Henry
Ford Monday. At that time the con-
ference for today was arranged. The
German scientist desires to establish
a system in this country similar to
the 10000 miles of interlacing Z
lines now operated by his company
in Europe.
The object of the visit of Junkers
and his associates to Detroit. ii is
said. is with the hope of eniiSting the
Ford Company in turning out planes
by mass production. Also it is de-
sired to build large planes, as no
planes Of big paSSen enger-carrying ca
pacity can be built in Germany under
the terms of the treaty Of Versailles.
The treaty would not apply, however,
to planes built by Junkers in the
United States.
Accompanying Junkers are Dr.
Gottfried Kaufman. managing di-
rector of Junkers' European air lines ::
DR.. Hannes Hagemann. also of the
air lines, and Hermon Mierzinsky,
director of the DesSau office of the
company. They expect to return to

OUR WORST HABIT

We're all possessed of habits we'd
be better. off without, but /. we feel
that if canvass. of Belington resid-
ents was made today, the majority
would vote that the habit of saying
unkind things about other people is
the worst habit that we have. Yet
We may call it criticism but that
all of US are guilty of it, more or less
doesn't take away the fact that it is
bad habit. 1t grows ON one just
as any other habit, and are long the
victim finds it impossible to see any
good in his neighbor-he can only
find fault with him, with his church,
his school system or the town in gen
eral 1t is wise rule to say some
thing good about people or say moth
ing at all, and the man or woman
who makes that practice comes
nearer being free of the criticising
habit than anyone else. All of us
detest gossip, and yet a gossip is
only person who has grown into the
habit of criticizing. Let us hope that
some day we will give this subject
more thought than we have yet Civ
en- it, that we will discover there are
more good things to say of neigh
Dor than there are bad things, if we
oily look for the good ones.

MARK TWAIN KNEW

Possibly they didn't write as
much slang in old Mark Twain's
day as our modern writer's indulge
in but humor was real humor then,
and the kind that we can still get
a laugh cut Of The other day we
picked up a neighboring paper and
found therein and old Mark Twain
story we believe Belington readers
can find time to smile at. 1t is to
the effect that while he was edit
ing little Mississippi weekly paper
Twain received a letter from sub
scriber stating that he had found
a spider in his paper, and asking If
that was sign of good or bad luck.
Mark Twain replied through
the columns of his paper.
Finding a spider in your paper
was neither good nor bad luck for
YOU. The spider was merely look
ing over your paper to see which
merchant is, not advertising so that
he can go to that store, spin his
web across the door and live a life
of undisturbed peace ever after

JOKES

j. Occasionally in our strolls
around Belington we pause to lis
ten to an amateur story-teller and
often hear what to us is about the
hobbled on crutches-the mother
in law joke" Usually when we
hear one we find more interest in
idea if men who delight in telling
it, for in every instance the mo-
ther-in-law gets the benefit Of the
doubt with us. 1t would be good
idea if men who delight in telling
these kind of stories, that carry
sarcasm that is not carried would
pause before doing so and remember
that the best mothers in this
world are mothers-in-law, or may
at some future time. The chances
are their own mother was mother
in-law so how can a sensible man
find room to tell joke at his moth
er's expenses. There would never
have been race of Americans if
there had not been mother-in-laws
and if the man who tells a joke at
their expense was only one-tenth as
good as they are the whole world
would be a lot better off.

DON'T HoG-TIE YOUR DOLLARS

Here's maxim that has guided
many a merchant to success:
Money is made in turnovers;
Money is lost on leftovers."
Solid stocks, chained to the shelves
eat their heads off in carrying charg-
es. The merchant who lets his good
dawdle in the store for lack of SELL
ing policy-backed by steady adver-
tising-is hog-tying his dollars and
cheating himself. Quick turnovers
cut down interest charges and oper-
ating expenses 1t multiplies the
number of profits per year for each
invested dollar, and it therefore per-
nits a lower price on goods. Lower
prices bring more custimers. Where
is there in Belington a blsiness man
who wants to argue that as long as
he has got the goods he isn't losing
money? Where is there a man who
can dispute the fact that no mer-

GOD PITY 1T"

John F. Cunningham, member
of the Board of Trustees of the Ohio
State University, had occasion few
weeks ago to address a meeting of
daily newspaper editors, and he told
them some things we'd like to have
every citizen of Belington know.
Here's what he said to the editors of
the big daily newspaper of the land:
''There was time during which
the small-town newspaper seemed to
be smothering under the increasing
circulation q the big city dailies.
The city daily does not and cannot
devote space to matters of immediate
interest to those in small towns and
on the farms. While the great wall
of news that comfronts us is made
up of stones and bricks furnished by
the big city papers, the chinks and
the cement will ever be furnished by
the little hometown papers news
from nearby communities.

a medium of public discussion, and
by patronizing its advertising. col

OUR LATEST STUNT

Well have to mark up one more
great achievement to the credit Of
Uncle Sam. He is now operating a
regular mail service, on 34-hour
schedule, between San Francisco
and New York, and carrying letters
by airplane. Something like $4,000
letters can be carried safely on each
trip by one of the giant airships.
Citizens of Belington have been
reading for sometime that the gov
eminent was experimenting along
this line but we feel sure few of
them realize that the air mail route
has only been opened after five long
years Of planning. Landing fields
had to be brought and equipped re-
pair stations set up, lights and sig
mails worked out and means profited
for sheltering and feeding the flyers.
Now all this is completed, and a re-
gular service, for those who are will
ing to pay extra to have their cor
respondence speeded up, is a perman-
ent part of our postal department,
Ere long an "airplane mail" letter
will not be a novelty here, and those
Of our people who have learned that
in this fast age things are impossi-
BILE will not be surprised when they
hear that regular airplane passen-
ger routes are also being opened up.
If mail can be carried safely by air
plane, then why not passenger? OF
course there will be thousands afraid
to trust to that means Of transport
alton, but most of us can remember
that when autos first came out thou
ands were afraid to ride in them.
But the fear soon worse away, just
as it will wear away in the case Of
airplane trips. And dozen years
from now, or less time, you'll have
your choice Of going from one point
to another by auto, train or airplane.

rilede'' Most pf the hurt feel ngs
in the world are due to magma
ton; most of our anger and irrita-
ton is due, to putting the wrong
kind of construction on words and
acts which do not exist. Don't
walk around with chip on your
shoulder, and don't always be look
ing for a double-meaning, in every
thing that /, is said to you. You
will be so much happier if you get
it into your head that nobody is
going to deliberately stick pins in
to you, nor, insult you nor make
fun of you merely for the pleasure
and entertainment they, can get out
of it. You know that you are very
careful not to say things to hurt
the feelings of others so be broad
minded enough to believe that
others are just like yourself in
this respect-that they, too, don't
want to make anyone feel badly
when there is no occasion for it.
