United States Does Not Send Gus
tomary Protest-Klan Resolution.


tomary Protest-Klan Resolution.
BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. lion the
basis of official reports of the MUIR
der of Jacob Rosenthal, wealthy
New Yorker, by Mexican bandits,
Secretary of State Kellogg, acting
through the American embassy in
Mexico City, today urged the Gales
government to apprehend and pun
ish the remaining culprits.
Following dispatch OF these in
structions, Kellogg was prepared to
receive from a Ku-Klux Klan dele
cation resolutions Of the national
klonvocation supporting the admin
istration's hands-off policy in the
MeMcan-Catholic conflict.
Because of vigorous efforts by Fed.
eral Mexican authorities already re-
sulting IN capture of two of the six
Rosenthal kidnapers, this Govern.
ment has decided not to send the
customary protest against Mexican
banditry.
In Line With Statement
This policy is in line with the re-
cent White House statement exone-
rating the Gales government Of re-
sponsibility for isolated cases of law
lessness and comparing such ban
ditry with activities Of gunner in
American cities.
The United States may. however,
file a claim for damages in the Ro-
seminal case with the existing mixed
claims commission. In a somewhat
similar case of Italians murdered in
Texas several years ago. the United
States Congress absolved the Federal
Government of all responsibility, but
voluntarily voted an indemnity as an
act Of friendship.

posed.

Of Richmond. Ind, composed OF
automobile dealers of that COM
munity, is protesting against the
coercive measures employed by
Fred E. Schortemeier, secretary Of
State, through the Hoosier State
Automobile Association, in dis
tribution OF automobile license
plates, in that community.
Under an arrangement with. tbs,
Hoosier State Automobile Associa-'
ton automobile license plates have
beer distributed to owners through
the automobile clubs affiliated wits
the State association. In Richmond
the National Finance Company, an
organization backed by the SIX
largest distributors Of motor
vehicles, was opened three years
ago, and has maintained since a rest
room, touring information bureau
and q card index system, by which
the law enforcing agencies have
been helped in the Identification ana
recovery Of lost and stolen cars.
Woman Recommended
At meeting Of the Richmond
club Tuesday evening, attended by
M. E. Noblet Of the Hoosier State
Automobile Association, a protest
was made to the announcement by
Noblet that the plates would this
time be distributed from an Office
near the courthouse by a Mrs. Cook,
recommended for the place by the
Republican county chairman at the
request Of the secretary of State.
Noblet defended the association po-
sition on the ground that Schorte-
meier was entitled to help and con-
sideration.
L. B. Campbell, finance company
officer and director of the bureau
established by the Richmond club,
then caused CONSERVATION by releas-
ing correspondence which indicated
that almost a year ago an effort had
been made to have friendly person
appointed to the place.
The correspondence released by
Campbell follows:

My Dear Bethard: ~
Attached is copy of letter received

This Is the first time we have
ever been asked to do single thing
in Richmond in support of the sec
rotary of States office. / wish you
would take up with Mr. Campbell
and see If 1t can be arranged to do

it is at all practical think we

Dear Monroe:.
1 should like very much to make
an arrangement whereby Mrs. A. w.
Roach, Richmond, Ind, can be con-
nected with the license branch at
Richmond. 1t is pretty important
that we work out this situation in a
proper way.
Mrs. Roach is a woman Of mature
judgment and should be of general
assistance to your work and mine in
Wayne County. 1t would be very
pleasing to me If she could be con.
nected in a substantial way with our
license branch here.
s.. Yours very truly,
F. e. SCHORTEMEIER,
Secretary of State.

RANGER FIRES ONE
SHOT, KILLS TWO
Famed Texan Gets Bandits
Who Had lust Robbed
Bank.

GAINESVILLE. Texas, Sept. II
One bullet plus one Texas ranger
equals sure death for all the. bad
men that care to come on.
There's Capt. Tom Hickman OF
Gainesville, leader OF the headquar.
ters company OF the famous Texas
Rangers.
Tom Hickman was known as a
sure shot, like all other rangers, but
nobody dreamed-well, here's what
he did.
Hickman happened to be in Clarks
Vile the other day. It also happened
that two bandits had picked that day
to rob the Red River National Bank
here.
Through Window
He was walking past the building
when the men entered. Catching a
glimpse of them through a window
he ran for his rifle and was waiting
when them came out. They had
several thousand dollars Of the
banks money with them.
Hickman shouted to them to stop
They turned and ran. drawing their
revolvers and firing as they ran
Hickman raised his rife.
He fired one shot. The two ban,
dts fell to the pavement.
MortaIly Wounded
Hickman ran up to them, accom-.
panied by city police. Both men
were MORALLY wounded. The one
bullet he fired had passed through
the body of one man and lodged in
the body Of the other. They died a
little later.
Hickman probably is the most IA
nous of all the rangers. He has
many stirring exploit In his rec.
ord.
But never before did he kill two
bandits with one bullet.
Verify, it doesn't pay to monkey
with the Texas rangers.

Watson Aid

1t was brought out at the recent
meeting that Mrs. Roch had been
recommended for the place by reason
Of her connection with the candidacy
Of Senator James e. Watson, but
was not appointed because the direc-
tors Of the Richmond Club refused to
participate in politics as a body.
Under the arrangement for distri-
button Of plates 1t is understood that
the notary fee Of rs cents goes to the
distributing agency and is sufficient
to maintain the Office.
The officers Of the branch Of the
auto association in Richmond de-
clare that politics should not inter
fere with service to the public, and
will appeal the decision to move
the office to the directorate of the
State organization.
Campbell, in his reply to Noblet,
Is said to have stressed the point
that the letters read clearly showed
that appointments had been made
throughout the State on the same
political basis because the letter was
specific in stating this is the first
time we have been asked to do
single thing in Richmond in support
Of the Secretary of States office"
1t is understood that officers OF
the Richmond group will seek to
enlist the support Of other affiliated
clubs throughout the State in their
fight for self-determination.

i FIGHTING INSECT PESTS: Every
country has its own insect pests that
devastate its crops, and generally
some more or less successful method
of coping with them has been devel-
oped. But pests imported accident
ally from abroad are often veritable
scourges. This is largely due to the
fact that they have been imported
without their natural enemies. Ma
ture has given tremendous fertility to
the lower orders of life, counting on
the fact that only a small percentage
of the eggs will ever hatch and reach
maturity; the rest serve as the nat
ural food Of the hundreds of other
forms Of Life that prey upon them.
But II an insect pest ever happens to
be imported without its natural enc
mics a sad day has dawned for the
farmer, for its terrific multiplication
receives no check and it spreads like
wildfre.
A case in point is the Japanese
beetle, which has been devastating
crops in and around New Jersey. Eff
forts to exterminate it failed. The
government then set about discover
ing and importing it's enemies, with
the result that the pest is now being
brought under control. One of the
enemies small hy-operates by
laying its eggs upon the back
Of the beetle, so as to assure them OF
food. The eggs hatch into grubs,
which proceed to make a meal OF the
beetle. steadily eating their way in
side. "The beetle gets sick (no won
der) and dies in a few days. but
the grubs have grand time and
emerge as flies in the spring ready
to lay more eggs. The other enemies
of the beetle are parasites which op-
crate in a somewhat similar fashion.

COLD LIGHT: Have you ever seen
a cold light that was made by man?
No, Nor has anybody else. Every
thing that man uses to give light is
intensely hot At present we can only
produce light as a by-product Of heat.
We burn wax candle producing heat,
and incidentally a little light. In
every case over 80 per cent Of the
energy used goes into useless heat,
and only the remnant-the few odd
per cent-go into light. If a means
were discovered of producing light
without wasting most of the avail
able energy in heat-in other words,
a cold hght-the saving in fuel and
power would be enormous.
Cold light does exist in Nature
the phoSphorescence OF rotten wood,
etc, and of the sea, the sglow-worm
and freely, the luminous deep-sea fish.
In the case of the wood, the light is
due to the chemical decomposition
caused by bacteria. In the sea the
phosphOrescence Is due to millions of
tiny organisms in the water which
give out light when disturbed The
animal light (irefiy, fish, etc.l is pro-
duced by the interaction Of two sub
stances of unknown composition with
in the body. 1t would be worth mil
lions to humanity to learn the glow
worms trick.
HAIL: Hail occurs together with
thunderstorms. Different opinions ex-
ist as to its cause. In a general way
1t might be said that falling rain
passes thru cold layer Of air and
gets frozen and continues to fall in
the form Of Jumps OF ice which we
call hailstones. 'Hailstones vary
from the size Of small peas to sizes
bigger than big oranges. "a typical
hailstoRe has a snowy center, sur
rounded by from one to a dozen coats
of alternately clear and snowy ice,
arranged like the skins of an onion"
Damage due to hail is estimated at
over $2O0,000,000 year thruout the
world, $1,000. eco of cotton crops and
S14,000,O00 Of corn crops annually in
the United States.

to her, she can't afford to quarrel with

Mrs. Furriner's lips formed the

times not to utter it-just go thru the
motion. But her head went just as
mechanically up and down. Her eyes
danced Just as merrily, her mouth

PROMPT ACTION ON TAXES

Now that the Senate has come rather tardlly to
consideration of the income tax nearly every
body wants to action.
Senate leaders want to get the measure through
kby February 10. They say that is the latest date
which will allow time enough to get the new tax blanks
distributed and returned by March Is, as usual 10
the demand for posponement of the tax returns and
the first installment until April T. they reply that
besides being irregular and confusing, this would get
the Treasury into trouble because it needs S6O00O0
OC0 to short term obligations maturing March To-
and has other convenient way to raise the money
than the anticipated income tax payment that date
Two weeks is short time, perhaps, for the consd-
Grafton of so vital measure this revenue bill But
| it has been under consideration unofficlally for
months. Nearly all of the senator's presumably know
what is it, and what they think of it, and about how
much chance they have to obtain any desired changes.
Some earnest critics talk of obstruction such as
was practced in the debate the World Court That
will bring little public approval whatever merit there
may be in the contentious OF the obstrucng minority
The situation calls for cooperative action and COM
promise rather than fbustering. The broad outlines
of the revised House measure pending IN the Senate
seem fairly satisfactory to the country Promptness
may be more useful than perfection. The measure can
be revised again next year, if necessary.
