 Miss Lockwood took the milk from the baby, and he began to cry. Miss Lockwood gave the milk back to the baby The nipple got so the baby could n't get the milk, so they had to take the nipple off the bottle, then the baby began to cry again. He knows what he wants.
 The basket had blue silk all around it. The blankets were white and he had a white pillow.
 The baby is about d foot long. He has blue eyes and black hair.
 The baby's feet look so small that they make me feel SC clumsy. His fing>rs are long, but not dirty like mine. When l look at my dirty fingernails il makes me ashamed. The baby looked like Christ Child in his basket.

We all went over to see the baby. He is very pretty. He has a very pretty basket. It is lined with pale blue silk and cotton. The basket was on the couch.
 Miss Georgia did not want him to go to sleep, so she took his bottle away from him. Miss Georgia took off his blanket to show us his little mighty. It makes me feel like I want to do something for him. It will take nearly one and one half years until he can walk real good on his little feet. He looked at us very hard.

ADMIRAL MAKES
w AR NJ REPLIES
I'm FALL T RIAL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. = (P - The
commonplace little court room where
Albert B. Fall and Edward L. Doheny
are on trial for criminal conspiracy
was rocked today by a rumbling ex-
change between a pugnacious admiral
and quick spoken and determined
prosecutor.
The admiral witness was John K.
Robson, storm center of the oil con-
troversy ever since the senate commit
tee discovered three years ago that he
approved on behalf of the navy the oil
leasing policy of 1922. His cross ex-
aminer was owen j. Roberts, who has
builded a national reputation for him
self as a member of the governments
special oil counsel. Many of the YER
bal depth bombs launched by Roberts
in the direction of the witness stand
merely served the purpose of increas-
ina the intensity of the broadsides
that came back in reply.
But once or twice the admiral show
ed signs of losing his sea legs He
conceded that he had been wrong in
testifying previously that he had mot
talked to Doheny in New York about
the Elk Hills lease" He permitted
Roberts to correct from the official
record what he had said about navy
department conference. In one quick
exchange he agreed that he might have
taken a different attitude had he
known at the time that Dohenhy had
advanced Fall 100000 while Fall was
in the cabinet Once he fairly shouted
at his questioner that he was not the
kind to trim his sails and make his
testimony fit expediency.
The engagement lasted most of the
day, and while it was at it's height the
governments special counsel received
word of another major victory in an
other quarter. UNFOLDING the action
of the lower courts, a supreme court
ruling threw out the protests of Fall
and Harry F. Sinclair against their in
dictment for criminal conspiracy and
ordered them to trial. Roberts said
he would ask for trial date immedi-
| ately following the conclusion of the
present hearing, probably in January
In many ways the two cases run
parallel. Fall and Sinclair must face
| a Jury as an outgrowth of the award
| of the Tea Pot Dome lease to Sinclair
oil interests, just as Fall and Doheny
now are on trial as result of the Elk
Hills lease to Doheny's Pan American
company. In sthe Fall-Doheny case the
government hinges it's hope of conVlc'
| tion on the 100000. In the Fall-Sln-
clair case it will hinge on allegations
of the passage of smaller sum be-
tween the principals,

1.1 SHIPS CAUGHT

SAULT STE MARIE, aiick., Dec. G
P).--ApparNptly an immovable object,
the tons of anchor ice around Nee.
bisch Island continued today to hold
fast and demonstrate that the trc.
mendous crushing power of the giant
car ferry Sainte Marie was not ar
irresistible force. Meanwhile the
number of lake fre:ghters caught in
the worst ship blockade in the his
tory of Lake navigation remained at
121, not one having been released to
day.
The Sainte Marie, built to. keep
open the car ferry route from Mack
inaw City to st. lgnace, terminals
of interpennsula rail traffic. has
been declared the most powerful ice
crusher in the world. Yet, with her
engines racing at top speed and her
huge bulk crealling and groaning
with every vicious forward thrust,
the great steel battering ram was
practically impotent against the ice
barrier. Some concern was expressed
today lest the Sainte Marie herself
become trapped in the ice, in which
event rail traffic between the two
peninsulas by way of Mackinaw City
and st. Ignace will be seriously af-
fected

II JURORS ARE

CANTON, O., Dec. 6 R).-Elever
tentative jurors were selected today
at the opening of Patrick Eugenu
McDermott's trial for the murder OF
Don r. Mellett, Canton publisher
slain on the night of July 16.
Opposition to capital punishment
and opinions as to McDermott's guilt
resulted in the dismissal of 16 OF
the 81 veniremen examined When
Common Pleas Judge Edwin H. Diehl
dismissed court today, five women and
six men had been temporarily seated
with prospects of an additional ven
ire of rs being called before the
jury IS completed.
McDermott was charged with Mel
lett's murder after an investigation
by county, federal and special au.
ed that Mellett's newspaper campaign
against "The Jungle" Canton's TN
derworld, resulted in the plot against
his life. Mellett was shot down as
he entered his garage Ben Rudner

McDermott presented strange con-

PORTLAND PREACHERS
SUGGEST MORE SIMPLE
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 6 R.-De-
clar:ng that Christmas has come to
be burdensome, tiresome and unwel-
come, rather than Joyous and insDir-
ing, because of the practice of gift
giving, the Portland Ministerial as-
sociation today adopted a resolution
urging return TO simpler form of OBJ
servance.
Asserting that the holiday had been
allowed to become the object of in
tensive commerc.alism by forces thar
disregard it's religious purpose and
have made it time for trade, bar
gaining and selling" the resolution
said in part: THAT as Christian MIN
isters we earnestly deplore this cx-
ploitat!on of the Savior's birth for
commercial purposes.
1--WE pladge ourselves to stand res
lutely against this desecration OF
Christmas personally and in our
nomes.
1--WE call upon all Christian peo-
pic to disregard the ins;stent call OF
commercial interests to give presents
to everyone iii the family and friend
l;y circle, AMI to observe the season
/
md day in spirit Ct rcverent worship
of thoughtful appraise~le ~lent of what
the coming of Christ has meant tt
the world"
, The resolution was adopted by
mall majority after spirited de
lbate.
The Rev. Hugh B. Fouke, ass:a
tant pastor of the Rose CITY Metho
dist church, in introducing the rcso
luton, said
"As Christian ministers we shoui'
,ound the note of a new crusade an'
escue our Christmas season from

'COJLD'S RICH
TO SENATE SEAT
is CHALLENGED

WASHINGTON, Dec. R1.-As Ar
thur r. Gould stood today before
Vice President Dawes in a crowded
senate chamber, ready to take the
from Maine, his qualifications were
challenged by Senator Walsh, demo-
crat, Montana. No effort was made
Ivy Walsh to prevent Gould from
being sworn in, but in a resolution
offered from the floor before the
cath could be administered, he pro-
Tosed an investigation of charges
that the Maine senator had hand
in an alleged 100000 bribe of an
official of the Canadian province of
New Brunswick.
The Montana senator wanted inn
mediate action on the proposal, but
on objections offered by Senator'S
Curtis, the republican leader, ana
Moses, republican, New Hampshire
it went over until tomorrow. This
procedure determined, Gould, his arm
linked with that of Senator Hale of
Maine, his fact scarlet from embarrass-
ment and his eyes fixed straight
ahead, took the oath. The move
of Senator Walsh apparently took
Gould unawares, surprised almost the
entire senate membership, gave the
crowded galleries few excited mo
ments and lent a dramatic touch to
otherwise drab proceedings. The
voice of the Montana senator, de-
manding an inquiry, doomed through
the hushed chamber as Gould and
other new senator's stood before the
vice presidents dais.
No sooner had the resolution, which
calls for an investigation by the
senate elections committee to deter
mine what action is warranted, been
read by a clerk than Curtis ana
Moses shot in their objections to i'm.
mediate consideration. The republic
can leader held that the swearing
in of senators could not be stopped
by such a resolution; Moses contenoe1
that action, under the rules, had to
go over until tomorrow.
The resolution, taking cognizance
of charges made during Goulds cam
paign for the seat of the late Sena~
tor Fernald, specified that Gould was
to be seated, the inquiry to be un-
dertaken later 1t said it would be
of the senate to lg
more the charges

WILLIAM SONS
N EW SHE RIFF
JAILS OLD ONE

MARION, ILL.,, Dec. 6.-R-George
Calligan, bitter anti -klansman, retired
today after four turbulent years as
sheriff of Williamson county, and 80
minutes later was arrested by Oren
Coleman, his successor, on a murder
charge.
Calligan was charged in a warrant
sworn to by Mrs. Charles Woolard,
with the murder of her husband, one
of six killed in a khan and anti khan
gun fight at Herrin, August 80 1924.
The arrest, however was deplored by
klansmen, who, in the interest of peace
had agreed with members of the other
faction that thereswould be no further
prosecutions on either side.
The former sheriff furnished $4,000
bond pending action of the grand jury.
Galligan, whose spectacular four
year term left him aged far beyond
his 9S years, said he planned to return
to the coal mines, which he entered as
a boy of IL.
The sheriff's office has been a storm
center since the Herrin mine riots of
1922, when % were killed. Galligan
came into office shortly after the riots
and soon became engaged in warfare
with klansmen, led by the late S. Glenn
Young, whose liquor raids he resented.
Galligon refused to resign as re-
quested by the klan controlled county
board of supervisors, but at the re-
quest of Governor Small and militia
officials he took vacation" from the
az
tion, when the khan lost control.
In the recent warfare between he
rival Shelton and Birger factions for
control of the southern Illinois liquor
trade, Galligan took no part, declaring
he and his one deputy were ,powerless

CONGRESS WILL
MUCH OF
TROUBLE

WASHINGTON, Dec. c. R - Con-
gress had hardly drawn its first breath
today before more than 1000 bills and
resolution poured in to be added to the
$4,000 bequeathed to this session by
the last.
The new measures touch upon virtu-
ally every subject of legislative inter-
est from prohibition to requests for
permission to build bridges.
The first days output produced a
joint resolution by Representative Gal
livan, democrat, Massachusetts, that
put the question of prohibition up to
congress in a manner likely to revive
the wet and dry battle on grand
scale.
In simple terms it proposed ma
tional referendum on this question:
"Should the congress of the United
force the 18th amendment so that the
same shall not prohibit the manufac-
ture, sale, transportation, importation
or expectation of beverages which are
not in fact intoxicating, as determined
in accordance with the laws of the re-
spective states"
The resolution would authorize the
states to conduct the referendum in
1928, the federal treasury to reimburse
them for its cost.
The flood of new bills today was
characteristic only of the house, the
senate clerk receiving only one meas
ure. 1t was the Walsh resolution pro-
posing Investigation Of allegations
that Arthur Gould, new republican
senator from Maine, had figured in ar
irregular payment of 100000 to a
New Brunswick, Canada, official.
New measures in the house segre-
gated themselves into groups affecting
the postal service the cotton industry
war veterans, banking, taxes, reclama-
tion, radio and many phases of the
country's activities.
Chairman Griest, of the postoffict
committee, offered a handful of bills
to restore the one cent postal care
rate and to make other changes il
postal charges and service. Postmas
ters would be placed under civil service
under a bill by Representative Lehl
bach, republican New Jersey, while
Representative Tolley, republican, New
York, proposed an increase in the maxi
mum amount which may be deposited
in postal savings accounts rom $3.50
to $4,000, as favored by Postmaste,
General New.
Representative Langford, democrat
Georgia, proposed formation of a fed
eral cotton corporation, with $500, 900,
900 capital stock, authorized to fix
minimum price for the staple. Repre-
sentative Black, democrat, Texas, of
