''PINCHED, BY HECK"

Bright and early last Sunday
morning three of Hamilton's noble
sons conceived the idea that instead
of having the same old turkey for
their Thanksgiving dinner, that tur-
tie would be the real thing. So, after
| brushing the cobwebs out of their
water, lubricant and gas in the differ
ent tanks of their windsplitter, they
proceeded towards the boundary line
| of Indiana. Somebody told the trio
that creek down somewhere between
Aurora and Dillsboro, Ind, was sc
infested with turtles that they were
| in each others way
Each one of the three treasure
hunters carried long, pointed turtle
hook, very common in Ohio among
turtle hunters. Well, the brothers
arrived at the turtle farm about seven
o'clock a. M, and Immediately got
busy as beavers probing for the hard
shelters.
They wandered several miles up the
creek, but not turtle could they find
and they were about to give up the
| job as lost art, when over the hill
top appeared human being. One OF
the outfit suggested that they wait
and ask the man where the turtles
were at 1t did not take long fol
them to find out after the man hac
arrived on the spot.
What are you city guys doing il
that? Catching our fish in here witt
them thar contraptions," said the
man. One of the brothers answered
that they were huntin turtles
"Whar's your license?" Haven't got
no license, came the answer, anC
then the questioner informed then
that he was the regular constituted
game warden of that section and thai
all three were under arrest, "pinched
by heck'
The three brothers-Ed. Sims, Her
man Perpingon and Grant King
were relegated to the BOBBY hatch il
the next village and thereupon giver
the Indiana third degree. The three
carpenters pulled out their uniol
cards and thought that would squar,
matters, but nothing doing. The
warden was out for the kale and los
no time in tellin' it. Well, after twc
hours grilling the court decided tx
release the culprits with a sount
warning to stay over on your owl
dunghill after this when you-uns wan
to catch turtles.
On their way back Sunday after
noon not a word was uttered by on,
of them until they reached home
Then King remarked that Indian
creek is dam good place to catcl
turtles. Perpingon agreed with him
and Sims last words were when the.
parted, "It's the best place | eve

FEAR, NOT REASON,
WON

Spokane, Wash-The terroristic
policy of La Toilette opponents turn
ed the tide in this state, according to
William j. Coates, editor of the La
Dor World.
Prior to the election almost every
other person one met talked favorably
of La Follette," the labor editor said
The approximate vote was: Coolidge,
$4,000; La Toilette, $4,000; Davis,
10000.
Fear, more than anything else, is
responsible for the change Fear on
the part of the business man that con-
ditions would be disturbed that his
capital would be endangered. Fear
on the part of the worker that if in
dustrial depression came he would be
out of a job. Fear by the farmer that
markets would be weakened and his
product sold at loss"

APPEAL OF BARRIERS
Ask Labor's Support of Jones Sunday Rest Bill Abol-
ishing Sunday Barber Work in District of
Columbia

To the Officers and Members of our
|, Affiliated Unions:
Greeting:
Our fifteenth convention went unan-
imously on record as declaring Sunday
slavery in our profession un-Ameri-
can, and that the International Union
and our local unions leave no stone
unturned to abolish Sunday slavery in
our profession in the nine states
which are still compelled to barber on
Sunday.
Local Unions Nos. 239 and 3O5,
Washington, d. c., have bill to pre-
sent to our next congress known as
the Jones Sunday rest bill, No. 3218.
Hence this letter with a sincere re-
quest that your local union go on
record as condemning Sunday barber
ing in the District of Columbia and
that your local union appoint COM
mittee to wait on your congressman
and senators and also write each one
of them, insisting that they support
the Jones Sunday rest bill, No 3218.
Your local union should also take the
matter before your Trades and La
Dor Council and procure their hearty
endorsement and cooperation. They,
too, should write the congressman and
senators, insisting upon the passing
of the Jones Sunday rest bill, No.
1918.

CARPENTERS UNION
Again Loses Two of Its Old
est Members Within
Week

Carpenters Local Union No. 637
in September lost two of its valued
members when Simon B. Hedges and
Leroy Janser passed away within two
days. Last week death again called
two of the organizations oldest and
most faithful members, when Clar-
ence Montgomery and Pliney Lugar
passed away. Mr.. Lugar was the
oldest in years, being nearly eighty
three years of age, and one of the
oldest in membership, being a charter
member of the organization. Mr..
Montgomery was siXty-two years old
and was for many years a member of
the carpenters organization.
Both Mr. Lugar and Mr.. Montgom-
cry were not only members of the
union, carrying a union card for dis
play and selfish motive, but real union
men, ever faithful TO the cause of
trade unionism. Both men were very
popular with their fellow members of
the union and with all who knew
them outside the organization
The funeral services held for both
the trade unionists were largely at
tended, hundreds visiting the houses
of mourning the evening and morning
before, attesting the high esteem and
regard in which both men were held
by their friends, neighbors and ac-
quaintances.
Organized labor of Hamilton in
general extends its sympathy to the
bereaved families, to the relatives
and friends of the dead unionists.

entirely by the national, state and
local tuberculosis associations, to
whom the proceeds from the sale go.

WEEKS TAKES ISSUE WITH
SILzER AND HOBOKEN LAND
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News)


4 WASHINGTON, Aug. 30:-sSecre-
tary of War Weeks takes direct issue
with Governor Silzer OF New Jersey,
Governor AL Smith of New York, the
officials of the Port of New York
Authority and others who have pro-
tested that the sale of the water
front property owned by the Hobo
ken Shore Line Railroad in Hoboken
will seriously interfere with the
plans of the Port Authority for the
development of the port of New
York.
He appears to have the backing of
President Coolidge in this position as
he frankly stated 1t upon leaving the
White House after a conference with
the President regarding this question
at noon yesterday.
He intends to invite the officials of
the Port of New York Authority to
conference here next week at
which they will be asked to demon
strate that they are really in need
of the Hoboken waterfront property
for the sale Of which bids were
opened in Hoboken last Tuesday and
that the sale of 1t to a private con-
Germ would be injurious to the inter-
ests of the Port Authority and the
general public, he said.
Secretary Weeks stated quite
frankly that the sale of the water
front property to the Hoboken Land
G. Improvement Company, which bid
100000 cash for 1t last Tuesday,
looks far preferable to continuing
the negotiations with the Port of
New York Authority which wants to
give bonds for it..

FARMERS HEAR
DAWES VIEWS
Vice Presidential Candidate
Visiting Among Farmer
Friends in Nebraska

LINCOLN, Nebr., Aug. 80 (By The
Associated Press). = Having set
fourth to the farmers of Nebraska
and through them to the farmers of
the West, his views on the agricul-
tural situation, Charles G. Dawes,
Republican candidate for vice presi-
dent, went visiting among his old
friends here today before starting his
return trip to Evanston, Illinois.
The first cali planned by the Re-
publican nominee was one on his old
fellow-townsman and now his DEM
ocratic opponent. Governor Charles
w. Bryan. Mr.. Dawes after conclud-
ing his address last night sent word
to Governor Bryan through the AS
ISOLATED Press that he would be
around to see him before leaving
Lincoln. The Democratic nominee
replied: Its fine. Tell General
Dawes I shall be waiting for him at
the state house"
Another call on Mr.. Dawes list
was to be made on another old
friend of his Lincoln days and later
his associate in France, General John
]. Pershing, who returned here on
the eve of his retirement from ac-
tive command of the American army
to welcome Mr.. Dawes back home.
Mr.. Dawes between calls read a
number of kilograms commenting on
his address last night, in which he

sion as President Coolidge has an

COUNTY DETECTIVES RAID
HOTEL AT PLAINSBORO

NEW BRUNSWICK, Aug. 30
The old Plainsboro hotel, conducted
by Peter Stateninzi, thirty-five years
old, was raided yesterday by County
Detectives Fitzpatrick and Collins.
A search of premises was made and
one pint of Good Old South Jersey
Applejack confiscated.
The raid was the result of numer-
Gus complaints received by the coun-
ty detectives and shooting that
took place there last Monday night.
The investigation of the place was
made following the shooting on Mon
day night, and on Tuesday night
Detective Fitzpatrick was successful
In making purchase, which
strengthened the evidence.
A search warrant was secured
from Supreme Court Commissioner
Schuyler G. VanCleef, and when
Fitzpatrick and Collins arrived the
place was in charge of Stateninzi's s
sister, who was visiting from New
York. The hotel is arranged with a
candy store in the front of the build
ing and small back room.
At one time during the search, De-
tective Fitzpatrick started through
an open door to the back room when
he saw the girl make a quick dash
for the ice cream box. She opened
the can and pulled out a quart bottle
and began to empty the contents.
Fitzpatrick was soon behind the
counter, however, and succeeded in
taking possession of the bottle before
the entire quart was destroyed.
The owner of the place, Stateninzi,
is out of the county at present, but
as soon as he returns he will be
placed under arrest.

WARNING SENT
! To THE CHINESE
BY -Four Great Powers to
Prevent Loss of Foreign
Life and Property

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3o.-Two
have been addressed
to the Peking government by the
British, Japanese, French and Amer
ican diplomatic officials in Peking,
warning that government "in the
most solemn manner" of its ines
capable obligation to prevent loss of
foreign life and property as a result
of the fighting in and about Shang-
hal.
On August 28 the Peking authori-
ties were advised that the govern
ments represented by the diplomats
would adopt such measures and
utilize such means as are available
to use to afford protection to foreign
residents and to our TRACE and prop

WASHINGTON. Aug. 80. - Cam
paign thoughts and official cares
were side tracked for a while today
by President Coolidge to open the
White House to the Prince of Wales,
who left Syosset, Long Island, this
morning to be his guest at an infor-
NAL luncheon.
Having cleared his desk yesterday
his first day in the executive Of
fices in two weeks, the Presidents 8
official duties prior to the Pince's
arrival were of a more or less rou-
tine nature. He is planning, mean
while to begin work on the address
he is to deliver next Saturday at the
unveiling of the Lafayette statue in
Baltimore. This and other engage
ments to speak here, have been
described by the President as non-
political. Whether he will take the
stump as head of the Republican ma
tional ticket is considered very prob
Nmatical.
Wales trip today was his second
visit to Washington and the White
House. Owing to his own clearly ex-
pressed wishes and to the deep
mourning of the Presidents family
for Calvin Coolidge. Jr.. the greatest
isformality marked the arrange
ments for his short stay today which
was limited to his engagement at the
White House without even a visit to
the British embassy. He planned to
spend only three hours in the cap
ital.
