The Kansas law for bidding the sale of liquor had been in the statute books for four years, but 1t had never been enforced. The young county at torney said he would enforce it. And he did. He held office four years, and in that time he failed to convict only four men charged with. crime.
 The Kaws wanted the man who had left them in his boyhood to become their chief 20 years ago but he declined the honor. He did not care to become the sue cessor of his illustrious forefa. ther, Chief White Plume, for he was already senator-one of the chieftains of the Republican tribe

 The nomination for vice presi- dent takes him into the biggest battle of his life. But he is go- ing into the campaign to fight for the party instead of the candidate.
 At the age of 10, this descend ant of Chief White Plume and oi French and English ancestors went on the war path for the first time when the blood-thirsty Chey- ennes surrounded the reservation of the peaceful Kaws in Morris county Kansas.

ALBANY, N. Y, June 30.-In a statement of acceptance of the Democratic Presidential nomina- tion issued today, Gov Alfred F. Smith strongly endorsed the plat form upon which he must make the race and re-affirmed his well known stand on National Pro- hibitiCn. He reiterated his con viction that changes are needed in the present system, that they can only be made by the people thcmselves' but that ''it is the duty of chosen leader to point the way that leads to a sane and sensible solution" of the problem.
 The Governor declared real temperance can only be secured through the application of Democratic principles of local self government and St { e Rights"

 In his statement Gov Smith said: Our platform sets at res; the absurd claim insidiously put out by Republican propaganda that the Republican Party has a monopoly upcn the mechanics of prosperity.

They were right. 1t was Cubby Bear.
Cubby had caught glimpse of Trader.
He had seen where Trader had dlsap-
peared at a certain corner OF the olo
sugar-house. He found a hole there.
He shifted and he snuffed. Then he
began to dig. You know, Bear is a
very good digger for very short tlfne.
Cubbv made the dirt fly. But presently
he reached the timber that he couldn
dig under. 1t discouraged him. He

see if there were not some otner way
Of getting in He went all around the
sugar-houSe and at every crack ne
shifted. Every time he shifted three lit
tie people inside shivered. He tried
hooking his claws into some OF the
cracks and pulling. but this did him
no good. Finally, he climbed up on Che
roof
Now. as you know. there was a piece
of stoI'pipe coming up through tne
roof to serve as chimney. That stove
pipe interested Cubby from the start
He tried to look down it, but he
couldn't see anything. He took long
sniff. with the result that he drew
lot of SCOT up his nose. which was most
unpleasant and made him cough badly.
This made him lose his temper. He
struck at that stovepipe and he struck
hard. Now. this chimney was held IN
place by wires. so the first blow that
Cubby gave it merely dented it. He
cuffed it again and he cuffe| it hard,
This time one of the wires broke. Again
Cubby struck and another wire broke.
BY this time that piece of StoVeplpe
was all battered up. Finally, it came
apart and rolled down the roof. hang
ing by one wire. All tf1ct was LETT was
what looked like a hole in the roof.
Cubby stopped to investigate this. but
he couldn't see anything. You see. an
other length of that pipe continued on
down inside.
Cubby shifted as he had shifted be-
fore and the same thing happened. He
and he sneezed and wanted
to fight something, but there wasn't
anything to fight. He jumped at the
piece of stovepipe still hanging by
wire and down to the ground they went
together. so. of course. the wire broke.
There Cubby cuffed the piece OF stove
pipe to his hearts content and the
piece of stovepipe didn't hit back once.

here resulted in the murder of Mon
tres Freeman, 220-pound Birming-

God knows I didn't mean to kill

where he worked, planning to clip
his hair.
Six students in each college have
been clipped by groups of students

Disaster Due to Leak in
Hull, Negro Sailor
Suggests.
BY HARRY FERGUSON
United Press staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Nov 22.-The sink
ing of the steamship Vestris might
have been caused by leakage on
the bottom, member of that ships
crew told United States government
investigators today.
A Negro named Barton, asked by
Walter S. Brown, assistant secre-
tary of the department of COM
merce, what had caused the VeStriS
to go down, replied:
"I don't know. It might have
been a leak on the bottom
He recounted that vear ago the
Vestris had sprung a s3fious leak,
but that the leak subsequently had
been repaired.
Another witness said that ten
hours after the general SOS was
sent from the S. S. Vestris, staff
members of the Lamport g. Holt
offices told him they had been work
ing on the situation for twenty-four
hours.
The witness was Henry ]. Tilford
who said he had appeared at the
local offices of the company at $50
p.> M, the Monday the ship sank,
seeking to find the fate of friend
who was aboard the steamer.
The first witness today was Jo-
seph Boxill, a Negro member of the
crew.
Boxill said he first noticed a list
on the Vestris on the Saturday night
the ship left New York.
Water was coming in the star
board bilge," Boxill said. He said
that by noon Sunday, the list had
increased greatly. The alleyways
were partly filed from the water,

KING GEORGE
ILL SUDDENLY;
BRITAIN FEARS
Nation Agog as Press Tells
of Second Attack of
Fever.
VISITORS ARE BARRED
Parliament Is Surprised by
Sudden Seizure; Not
Serious, Say Doctors.
VISITORS ARE BARRED
BY WEBB MILLER.


LONDON, Nov. 22.-The British
public was deeply concerned today
over the sudden illness of King
George ", but Buckingham palace
officials gave assurance that there
was no cause for alarm. The king,
who is SO, is i'll in bed with a cold
and some fever.
The kings condition is not caus-
ing the slightest anxiety in the
royal household, a palace official
told the press.
His majesty has contracted a
slight, feverish cold, just as any of
his subjects is likely to do at this
time Of year." the spokesman said.
Acting on the advice of his
doctors, he has taken to bed as a
precaution until his slight feverish-
ness has passed. I can assure you
there is no need whatever for any
anxiety over the kings general
health"
Progress Satisfactory
It was understood the king was
still progressing satisfactorily late
this afternoon. The palace Spokes-
man told the United Press there
would be no further bulletin until
8 p. m.
The interest and concern of the
public was manifest when several
hundred persons more than usual
braved cold, windy, and rainy
day to witness the IL a. m. cere-
mony of changing the guard at
Buckingham palace. The ceremony
was accompanied by the usual Sc
lections of music played by a full
military band.
Second Fever Attack
An indication that the kings con-
djtion was not considered serious
was given when Queen Mary left
the palace to officiate at function
in lieu Of the king.
King George suffered a similar
attack in 1925 when he contracted
a feverish cold in February which
was followed by influenza and
bronchitis. He cruised for several
weeks in the Mediterranean to re-
cuperate.,
News of the kings illness probably
will not reach the Duke of
Gloucester for several days, because
he was reported to have left
Wednesday on a trip up the Cham
bezi river in native canoe which
vii keep him out of touch with
civi ization for at least eleven days.
