MAHoNEY UNDISMAYED
Says LaFollette VIII Still Be IMAM
imous Choice.

BIZ United Press
ST. PAUL. Mimi, May 2S.-The
national Farmer-Labor-P Progressive
convention, to be held here June
II, will not be called off on account
of the opposition of Senator Robert
NJ. LaFollette, William Mahoney,
chief organizer, told the United Press
today.
Arrangements have all been made
for the gathering" he said. Dele
gates are expected from every Sec
ton of the country.
Senator LaFollette is the unani-
nous choice. unless he directly for
bids the use of his name.
Communists will constitute but
small fraction of delegates at the
convention, and as long as these are
willing to submit to the terms of
the coalition, their cooperation is
welcome"
The Minnesota Farmer-Labor par
~ cannot legally participate in the
so-called National Third Party con-
vention here June II. Fred Pike,
State chairman, indicated.
THE Farmer-Labor party of Min
nesota has no national utilization
and cannot be bound by the action
of any other convention" he told
the United Press.
Pike held the party aloof from any
other third party action. His action
is expected to weaken the power of
the convention.

POLICE TO FIGHT
RELEASE o. BOY
DEATH SUSPECTS
Formal Charges viii Be
Placed Against Teachers
if Necessary,
By United Press


CHICAGO, May 28.-While police
insist they still are up against a
blank wall in the hunt for the kid
napers and slayers Of Robert Franks,
IA, they will fight the efforts to free
Mott Kirk Mitchell and Walter Will
son, instructors at the private school
attended by the victim.
This afternoon attorneys are SEIZED
uled to appear in court with a de-
nnand for release Of the two men.
Chief of Police Collins said that
he would fight to hold the men in
custody for questioning" until such
time as he felt absolutely certain
they had no connection with the at
fair.
"If indications point toward the
release of the men, we will book
one Of them in connection with the
murder" Collins said.
Several dope addicts and perverts
have been picked up for examina-
ton. Other suspicious characters
are being picked up hourly and be-
ing released just as fast.
Chief of Detective Hughes has
started his investigation all over
again for the third time. He is ex-
aiming members Of the Franks
family to determine whether revenge
and not ransom or perversion was
not the motive.

John J. Griffith. county engineer,
said his surveys and maps made at
the time showed the county is en-
titled to 1875 acres, but that all the
records kept by Auditor Fesler show
Is acres.
The council adjourned. after sp-
propriatng a total Of $685., 032.4 AZ.
This included Supplies for county in
situations, $4,000 for expenses of the
McCray trial in Criminal Court. and
bond issue OF SS5O,00O to refund
a twenty-year-old unpaid debt.
Councilmen slashed $3.50 from
the ordinance which had been asked
for screens for the new mems build
ing at the poor farm, and supplies.

supplies for the county insane hos

the horse shed roofing, new bakery
and other things he asked were abb
solutely essential.

of the Marion County Board of
Charities and Correction, which
started the investigation Of the new
building at the poor farm, congratu-
lated President Hogle of the council
on his stand on the Julietta and poor
farm buildings.
County institutions, all except
the Jail and Sunnyside, are in ter
rible condit on" she said. Money
has been poured out like water, and
what do we have? Aged inmates liv-
ing in that old fire trap at the poor
farm, with the new building, costing
$3.50 600 not satisfactory; the new
building at Julietta ready to cave in;
the colored orphans living in a pig
pen at the old home while court &C
ton holds up the new home"
Hogle said the county institutions
are horrible examples" except the
Jail and Sunnyside.
Even Sunnyside came in for its
share of investigation. Sidewalks
built by B. F. Carlos, 2044 E. Wash
ington St., costing 1894, went to
pices last winter and had to be torn
up, the council learned. The con.
tractor will have to make good or be
sued on his bond. it is threatened.
An ordinance that provided ex-
penditure of approximately 100000
on five proposed HARD surface roads
was withdrawn by petitioners before

HARDWARE TRADE HELD
BY BACKWARD SPRING
Retail Stocks Low; Jobbers Able TO
Ship Immediately.


Conditions in hardware centers
throughout the country have
changed but little during the past
week. Weather still seems to be the
determining factor in all jobbing
centers. The backward spring has
held up consumer demand for ar
ticles which ordinarily would now be
moving rapidly. This in turn has
naturally had its effect upon the buy
ing Of the retail trade. 1t is note
worthy that whenever a few clear
days occur that sales increase with
startling rapidity.
Generally speaking, retail stocks
are low. The retailers, however, are
only buying in hand-to-mouth fash
ion. Jobbers are well supplied with
merchandise and are in a position to
fill almost any orders in remarkably
short time. The same holds true with
respect to manufacturers deliveries.
The manufacturers have the stock
on hand and are well able to take
care of orders.-Hardware Age.

Senator La Toilette touched on the
