Chicago, Mar 23.-The legal bat
tie to obtain the release on bail of
William G. Shepherd, indicted on a
charge Of inoculating his foster son.
William M. McClintock, with typhoid

itely.
Counsel for Miss Isabelle Pope,
who was to have married young

from California Of the condition o1
her health were disquieting, that
the shock Of her fiance's death and
the strain Of the last few days oi
his life, combined with two appear
ances at the inquest, had proved toe
much for her.
Mrs. Shepherd spent last night iy
her home in suburb, under police
guard. She had advised authoritie:
that she had received several threat
eniug telephone calls and letters.

AMMONIA GAS

BANDIT GANG
Fumes Drive Robbers From
Building Before They Can
Enter Vault

Good Thunder, Mimi, March 23.--
Bank robbers were foiled here early
today by a gallon of ammonia cached
in the state bank of Good Thunder
after they had fired four shots at
residents, cut telephone and tele-
graph wire and wrecked the front
of the building with high explosive.
F.. II. Morlock, cashier Of the bank,
had placed the ammonia in the bank
for such an emergency. The force of
the explosion broke the ammonia bot
tie and the fumes were so strong the
robbers were unable to enter.
81 placed a gallon Of oil Of mustard
and ammonia in between the doors
Of the vaults" said Mr.. Morlock. "It's
a little invention, of my own and I'm
feeling pretty good about it today.
The explosion burst the bottle and
there is no doubt that the fumes were
so strong they were unable to enter.
II never heard of anyone else u.s.
ing the ammonia a-mustard combina-
tion for protection and l suppose the
boys will be voting me leather me-
dal.
1.-The robbers didn't get any money,
but the damage to the bank will pro-
badly reach $2,5O0," he said.
The attempted bank robbery is the
first in Minnesota this year.

MORE FACTS FOR TAXPAYERS
Where You Must Cut Tax Expenses

Mr.. Taxpayer you should be the last to
kid yourself" Just pull out your last tax-receipt
and study it carefully. You will it, assess
ment taxes for water mains, sewers paving and
perhaps others. These improvements have been
made the price has been fixed and you cannot
duce that part of your tax-bill one iota It's too
late. So let's forget about that part of the BILL
except that it must be paid.
Now turn over the taX-rece pt and learn how
much you must pay for the support of the state,
county, schools and city governments. These
for running expenses largely. 1t is the only place
where you effect reduction.
You have just four places where you can get
relief from the heavy taxes and you must vote for
economy and efficiency at four different elections,
state, county, schools and city Yes some of these
may come on the same day, but they are four, sep
arate elections If you fail to vote right at any
of them by that much do you lose your chance for
relief.
Exclusive of Improvement assessments, the city
government hands you about one-third of your
tax bill, the state and county twenty-seven per cent
and the school the balance.
The time to whttle down the size of that one
third is at the city election.
If you fail to vote right, and your city bill goes
up instead of down,-please, don't swear.
If you must swear, then why not
SWEAR ON APRIL 7th, ELECTION DAY?

Mapleton, Mimi, March 23.-.The
presence of mind of Il telephone
operator who remained at her post
in a burning building to summon as

arouse the townspeople saved the
business district and probably the
entire town of Mapleton from de-

her experience. The telephone eX.
change was located on the second

Of approximately $45,O00, total fire
damage being $4,000.
Miss Simon heard an explosion and
without knowing that the telephone
building was on fire, put in an alarm
for fire apparatus. The explosion
was from an oil stove in the base

When the smoke filled the room
Miss Simon continued at her boarc
and called as many persons in the
town as time permitted, as we'll as
calling fire apparatus at Mankato
twenty miles from here, and Amboy
near here. Later a call was made fol
apparatus from Wells, % miles from
here.
The smoke poured into the room
binding the operator. Cropping about
the room she made her way to the
stairway and rolled down the i!
steps. She was found by townspeo
pie who carried her unconscious from
the building. Practically the entire
population of Mapleton turned Out
to aid fight the flames.

FARM RELIEF
CALL ISSUED
BY PRESIDENT
Summons Agriculture Body
to Begin Work en- Meas
ure for New Congress
MANY BILLS SUGGESTED
Commission Expects to Make
Recurrence of Recent
Disasters Impossible

Washington, March 23.-President
Coolidge's Agriculture commission
has been called to meet here April
20 to begin work on a permanent
farm relief measure for presenta-
tion to the returning congress, it
was announced here last night.
In the haste to conceive some i'm
mediate solution Of farm difficult
ties before the old congress adjourn
ed. the commission was unable to
dig deeply into permanent economic
rehabilitation.
Within the next few months the
commission expects to work out sew
eral definite bills which not only
will help readjust the present sit
uation, but prevent recurrence Of
the recent farm disasters.
The step is being taken in accord
' ance with the desires of President
Coolidge. The chief executive feels
that he did everything in his power
to obtain farm legislation in the last
session. and that inasmuch as his
program was turned down. it is now
necessary that another program be
devised. 1t is part of his twofold
program for mapping out legislation
during the recess, which will be pre-
sented to the Goth congress either
in an extra session in September,
o. when it's regular session begins
three months later.
The other fold in the program re-
lates to tax reduction.
The first problem to be considered
by the farm commission is that of
expectation. The commission will
attempt to work out some compro-
mise solution of the McNary Haugen
proposal in an effort to protect farm
ers without pledging government
funds to set prices.
Senator Arthur Capper, head of
the farm bloc, has \urged the new
step upon the President. He felt
keenly the failure of congress in its
losing days to accept at least one OF
the farm bills.
"A house divided against itself
cannot stand" Senator Capper says
"Three things contributed to the
postponement of farm marketing leg
islation and prevented prompt re-
demption of campaign pledges to
the farming community.
"They were lack of unity Of farm
opinion, misinformation and partisan
politics"
Senator Capper hopes that the new
program Of the commission may
cause the various farm elements ia
consolidate so that legislation may
be enacted soon after the next ses-
sion cOnveneS.

SENATE CHIEFS
DIFFER WIDELY
ON INSURGENCY
Can't Agree on Defining Re-
publicanism; Borah Urged
Tolerance
BY HARRY b. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

Washington, March 23.-What is a
political party-and why?
Radically different opinions on
this question have been developed
by Republican Senate leaders during
the getaway short session of the
new Senate.
The divergence of opinion on this
fundamental proposition seems like
ly to lead followers Of the two theor-
les so far presented far apart before
the congressional and senatorial
elections Of 1926.
The two conflicting schools of
political thought in the Senate
G. o. p. are not unlike those rep
resented in the debate here between
Clarence Darrow and former SEN
ator A. O. Stanley.
Darrow and Stanley debated the
issue Of capital punishment. The
man who saved the necks of Loeb
and Leopold contended that So
ciety should seek to reform, not to
kill.
The man who is criminal to-
day may be a good citizen tomor-
row, he held, if society does its
part to help him to respectable
and responsible part in life.
Stanley stuck up for the good old
Kentucky principle of an eye for an
eye and tooth for a tooth-or even
two or three if you can get 'em.
In the Senate's political parallel,
Borah Of Idaho may be likened to
the Darrow of the debate. Jim
Watson Of Indiana is cast in the
Stanley role.
Borah contends that Republi.
cans who have transgressed party
discipline should be given a chance
to repent and reform.
Republicans, like individuals, he
holds, are the product of differing
environments. They are not all cast
in one mold. Allowance must be
made for variations, even for oc-
casional abnormalities.
To Watson, however, a good Re-
publican is good Republican. He
is first and last member of the
clan.
Whosoever denies for one day
constituted party authority, who
runs amuck in the family circle, be-
comes an outcast, disinherited and
condemned.
"A political party" Says Watson
"is in reality organized for one cleo
ton. If it's policies are continuing
the organization may be continuing
"But after all, it is designed fol
one contest, one election, subscrib.
ing to one platform and one set ol
principles.
~ am not concerned with what
was done in 1912, or 1916 or 1920.
am concerned about what was done
in 1924. And know that at thai
particular time Senators Brookhart
Frazier and Ladd left the Republi
can party"
at is good idea, in the hour o.
victory, to look ahead and practic,
some degree of tolerance" Argue
Rorah in reply. 81 prefer to deter
mine my course by survey Of com
ling elections rather than by dwell
ing on those that are over.

GIRL Who SHOT
MOTHER FACES
MURDER TRIAL
Defense to Plead Temporary
Insanity; Seeks Jury
Composed of Men

San Francisco, Mar. 23.-Dorothy
Ellingson, l8 year old stenographer.
who shot her mother to death last
January because her parents object
ed to the hours she kept with men
friends, came into the superior court
here today with only one hope-that
the jury which will try her on a
charge of murder, will be composed
entirely Of men.
The young defendant has confess
ed to the killing of her mother, Mrs.
Anna Ellingson. The girl attended
a party on the same night.
Attorneys and criminologists said
the crime is unique in the history of
American jurisprudence. The girls
attorneys have indicated that they
will set up plea of temporary in
sanity-that she shot "on an i'm
pulse" Prior to her appearance in
court she had submitted to series
of examinations designed to demon
strate her mental and physical sta
!tus.
