CONVENTION HALL, CLEVELAND,
June 1.-THE Districts national rep
resentation plank, providing for vot-
ing representation in Congress and
the electoral college, hangs in the bal
ance today before the committee on
resolutions of the Republican ma
tional committee.
w. T. Galliher, the Districts MEM
Der of the committee, is putting up a
strong plea for its inclusion by the
committee in the platform which is
to be submitted to the national con-

before the subcommittee of fifteen of
the resolutions committee appointed

For a number of years." Mr.. Col
laday told the committee, "the Dis
trict of Columbia has been asking for
national representation. We do not
ask that the District be made a state
we do ask that it's citizens be given
representation in the government
which taxes them.
THE District now has popula-
tion of half a million people, or more
than that of seven of the states. 1t
pays more taxes than sixteen of the
states. it's soldier representation in
the world war was more than that of
six of the states. Only in the last
week Congress has changed the fiscal

with the plan of the government pay

preparations made for the National

IF the present plan is continued

Of the District will pay practically

should be given representation in the

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill, June H.
The bodies of a man and girl were
found in a ditch along the Edwards
Vile Alton road, west of Edwards
vile, this morning by party of
fishermen on their way to the Ca
hokia Creek. Indications were that
the couple were slain elsewhere and
taken to the creek bank, authorities
said.
The man was partly identified as
Pete Aiello, a barber of Alton, while
the girl was said to be Miss Dorothy
Morgan, also of Alton, who formerly
lived in Vandalia, Ill. Her throat had
been cut from ear to ear, while AieIlo
had been shot in the left temple.
Madison County authorities were
inclined to believe that the dual kill
ing was the outcome Of a vendetta.
