He approached the bush and looked
into the barrel of the pistol, which
the man was pointing directly at his
head.
Officer Ports drew his own gun
and pointed it at the man.
For a moment each stood. with
drawn, cooked gun on the other.

diSarmed the prowler.
The man had engaged a taXicab at
n downtown hotel and ordered the
driver TO take him to the Evergreen

As he attempted to push his way
in she slammed the door in his face.

the door she saw him draw his gun
and brandish it about. declaring he
would kill her if she did not let him
IN.
When he began beating on the door
with the pistol butt she went to the
telephone and called the officer.

Listerine really is delightfully."-
refreshing and effective as a per-
spiration deodorant.
And there arc many occasions
for using it this way, particularly
in summer: when you feel hot
and uncomfortable after
shopping; when you want to
freshen up quickly after exercis-
ing; when travelling on trains
makes you wish for the old tub
back home.
1t does the trick-and it's safe.
Listerine won't irritate the skin
or stain garments. You'll be de-
lighted with it.
To test the. deodorizing prop
critics of Listerine, simply try this
some day: Rub a little fresh
onion on your hand. Then douse
on Listerine. The onion odor i'm
mediately disappears.
You'll say it's remarkable
and it is.-Lambrrt PhdrmaeaL

quittal interposed BY counsel for
Senator Wheeler.
It Il not believed that the De

Baileyss decision, although a has
the right to appeal to the District
Court Of Appeals.
Action 81 the court brought to
close one of the most sensational
cases instituted IN recent years BY
the Department Of Justice. After
getting an Indictment against
Wheeler in Montana. the Justice
Department secured q second bill
against him here Wheelerss Mon
tana acQuittal did not halt the de-
partment which called in special
attorneys to prosecute his Wash
inafon case.
Persecution Charged
Wheeler always has insisted that
he was being .persscuted BY the
Justfe4 Department because Of his
activities "a investigating the
regime pf Harry M. Daugherty as
expose in the Senate, President
Coolidge dismissed Daugherty.

held three times in my fight. First
when the Senate, backed the Daugh.
erty investigation; second, the Mon
ana acquittal: and. now. the court
action in sustaining the demurrer
The two indictments against
Wheeler grew out OF his relation
to Campbell as an attorney. After
his election to the Senate wheeler
agreed to handle some Montana oil
litigation for Campbell None Of
this work, however. was to take
him before Federal departments.
Wheeler insisted The Government
maintained Wheeler had represent
ed Campbell at the Interior. On
this charge, Wheeler was acquitted.
Tn the second Indictment. the
Government charged that Wheeler,
through his friendship and influ-
ence with Booth, was to get Tor
Campbell more than the legaI
number OF prospecting permits.
Money to be derived from the land
thus obtained was to be split three
ways among Campbell, Wheeler and
Booth. To get the land. the Gov
eminent contended that Campbeil,
with Wheeler's knowledge, sent in
dummy applications to the In
terror.
Suits On Same Basis
Because the permits and land IN
question were the same in botn
bills, Wheeler submitted q plea OF
former acQuittal as chief basis Tor
throwing out the second tndict
ments: He insisted that the Al
legged acts of conspiracy In the in
dictments were identical.
Only last week, President Cool
Idge refused to send to the Senate

terry, who, as district ATTORNEY IN
Montana, obtained the first indlct
ment and prosecuted the Great

Gay said the dissenters had no
disposition to obstruct or delay con
summation OF any sound and just
plan for consolidation Of railroads
or development OF the ,transporta-
ton service Of the country. But, he
added:
They do not believe it was in

high responsibility therefor, both
to the public and to security hold
ers, into schemes for private gain

IpulAuOHS AZ the expense OF the

Gay contended the commission
was without authority under the
Interstate Commerce act to approve
the Van Sweringen application for
unified control and operation Of the
Nickel Plate. Chesapeake and Ohio,
Hooking Valley, Erie and Pe.e Mar.
quette systems by the New York

The provisions Of the proposed
Chesapeake and Ohio lease, re.

stockholders, are not just and rea-
sonable and should not be approved
by the commission" Gay said.
I'VE maintain that the record
upon which this application is based
clearly demonstrates that the pro-
posaI was conceived, has been
framed and is admirably designed TO
serve, not the public, but the per-

An unusual feature of the at.

weapon of any sort when searched.
Not content with having captured
Tunnel, Alligood set out again and
