SENATOR LODGE
SERIOUSLY ILL,
PHYSICIANS SAY
Veteran Republican Leader
in Senate Suffers Sudden
Attack,
By United Press

By United Press
BOSTON. July Ex-senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, veteran Republican
leader in the Senate, is seriously i'll
in a Cambridge hospital today fol-
lowing a sudden attack of bladder
trouble which resulted in a hurried
operation Sunday.
Attending physicians described the
condition of the Senator as serious
but satisfactory. Senator Lodge is
doing very well. it was explained,
for a man of his years, but his ad-
vanced P ege-he is 74-natura1ly
makes tho situation dangerous.
A second operation may be neces-
sary before the patient can be dis
charged from the hospital, it was
feared. The Senator has been suf-
fering from bladder trouble for some
time, condition not uncommon in
men of his age.
1t is hoped the crisis of the illness
will be passed within twenty-four
hours.
The Senator displayed extraordi-
nary fortitude when told he must
submit to the knife and was driven
from the home of his son in Nahant
to the hospital in an automobile. He
was cheerful and said he would be
out again within a few days.
Lodge is suffering from the same
trouble which aggravated the Ill
ness of Woodrow Wilson during the
fight on the League of Nations and
after Wilson experienced his paraly-
tic stroke in the White House.

Hog prices throughout the coun-

In Indianapolis the price went to

1922. The Chicago market showed
an average of $10.5O. the highest,
according to a dispatch. since the

The demand on the Indianapolis
market was heavy and receipts were
light, forcing up the prices. 1t ap-
peared farmers were holding their
livestock for a new high level
Traders were reluctant to forecast
the market. but many declared the
rise is unhealthy and can not con-
tinue.
The poor corn crop. however, was
blamed by many. It was pointed out
that, although the farmers will bene-
fit by the higher prices. it will be
necessary at the same time to feed
higher priced corn
Meanwhile, the price Of pork
chops to the consumer was expected

Ten new pay-as-you-pass street

Seven were on the Prospect line
and the other three on Alabama. The
new cars are the same as used in
many large cities.
Theoretically the new cars can be
loaded faster in heavy traffic than
the old ones, since conductors do not
have to collect the fare as passen-
gers enter.
Four motors make possible quicker
acceleration and great speed through
traffic.

LONDON, July 2S.-With the
Anglo-Anerican banking group ap-

Premier Herriot of France agreeable
to promising economic and military
evacuation of the Ruhr, the inter

this afternoon, with delegates in
high hopes of reaching an agree
Inent.
The plenary session authorized the
big five''-the allied premiers. Am
bassador Kellogg and Count De
Stefani to summon members Of the
reparationsc commission and repre-
sentatives of the German govern
ment to London whenever the
leaders think the situation warrants
such a step.
1t was decided. however, to try
and find some formula based upon
the compromise plan proposed by
Premier Theunis Of Belgium, and so
it is unlikely the invitation to the
Marx government and the repara-
tions commissioners will be issued
before Wednesday.
Committee No Of the conference
meets that day to study the Theunis
plan.
Informal mediation by Secretary
of State Hughes is generally under
stood to have been the turning point
in the conference. Hughes left for
Paris today.
1t was after talk with Hughes and
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
that Herriot agreed to invite the
German delegates to London to dis
cuss major economic issues, such as
economic evacuation of the Ruhr as
a means of restoring Germany.
