DOG BITTEN BY CHILD
Tables Turned on lido When He
Refuses to Yield Ball.

RB United Press
SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Jan. g.
Here it is at last. The story that
journalism students have been told
is news. They are told that if a
dog bites-that's natural. But, if a
person bites a dog-that's news.
Jerome Smiths dog refused to
give up a ball which Smiths daugh-
ter. Lorraine, insisted on having.
The dog is recovering from a deep
bite in his nose and Lorraine has
no trouble retaining her ball.

Is Working on Grammar.

P.y United Press
MOSCOW, Jan. 3.-The scientific
department of the commissariat of
education is examining project
aimed to simplify the Russian Ian
guage. The first reforms of the Ian
guage were made after the Bolshevik
revolution when the Russian alpha
bet was reduced from SO to 81 let
tiers and the grammar sinlplifed.
The new project goes still fur
Their and proposes to take the Eng
lish grammar, the easiest in the
world" as an example, to abolish all
declination of adjectives and stand
ardize destinations of nouns.
The rather complicated conjpga-
ton of the verbs, according to the
project, must also undergo a funda-
mental change.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a quar-

length of the fur on miladys new
coat next winter through the sim
pie expedient of introducing Angora
rabbit strains into the New Zealand
rabbit to lengthen it's hair, Consul
General w. L. Lowrie has informed

The new Zealand jack rabbit was
regarded as pest whose extinction
was regarded as desirable-and well
nigh impossible. Now their skins

many are exported to America. They
will become more valuable if the ma
tural crossing of the Angora with

farm BILL FEE
SOON SETTLED
MCNary-H -Haugen Measure
Goes to Conference,

BH United Press
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Farm-
ers should know next week whether
they are to have q relief bill con-
tanning an equalization fee provi-
sion.
The Haugen bill, passed by the
House Thursday night, now goes to
conference, where differences be-
tween it and the McNary bill passed
by the Senate are to be adjusted.
Both measures contain the fee pro-
vision and they vary little, so that it
is believed the bill can be sent to
President Coolidge for signature in
a few days.
The Halgen bill, from which the
House voted Wednesday to eliminate
the fee clauses, passed the lower
body of Congress with the fee in
cluded, by a vote of 2O4 to 121. This
is less than the two-thirds needed
to re-pass the bill over presiden-
tial veto.
The farm bloc Thursday voted
down, with machine-like precision,
all amendments except two, which
sponsors of the measure accepted.
One of these, supported by the cot
ton bloc, would prevent operation of
the equalization fee upon any COM
modify without approval of the
commodity council, and the other
would assess the same fee upon
stocks held by packers as that upon
livestock marketed.

BU THfCd Press
NEW YORK, May 4.-The crew
of the transatlantic monoplane
Bremen, fatigued but game, today
resumed their strenuous round Of
receptions.
Baron Gunther Won Huenenfeld
is showing the strain of the turbu-
lent welcome more than Capt Her.
mann Koehl and Maj. James G.
Fitzmaurice.
The baron is of slight build and
the gay life affects him where the
rugged constitutions of Fitzmaurice
and Koehl show little signs Of
weakening.
Their first event today was a
luncheon at the Advertising Club,
after which they will retire to their
hotel for a rest before going to a
dinner tonight.
Thursday it was announced that
the fliers probably would cancel
their theater party for tonight, but
Fitznaurice seemed eager today to
take in all the events scheduled
The decision will be made later In
the day.
For the first time since his arrival
in America, Fitzmaurice found him
self at a disadvantage last night
when the f1iers attending a celebra-
ton at the Metropolitan Opera
House, given by the United German
Societies.
Koehl and Won Huenefeld have
been struggling to speak and un-
derstanj English at the receptions
given 50 far, and last night their
faces beamed as they heard their
native tongue.
F'itzmaurice, who understood lit
tie that was being said, smiled his
approval and thoroughly enjoyed
the program.
Saturday the fliers will go to the
races at Jamaica and in the eve
ming will attend a city dinner to
be given to Prince Spada Potensiani
of Rome, who is visiting
New York.

Order RAzING
OF half BLOCK
AS FIRE Peril
Buildings on {. Washing
ton Unfit for Habitation,
City Rules.

A half square block of buildings
bounded by E. Court, N. Noble and
E. Washington ST., have been con-
demned and ordered wrecked imme-
diately, L. D. Lee, assistant COM
missioner of buildings, announced
today.
Most of the buildings are owned
by the Walling estate of Chicago.
Charles Holloway is agent for the
estate. The Brown Realty and
Union Trust Companies also are
agents for buildings in the plot.
The buildings, belonging to the
Walling estate, found to be fire men
aces and in a general dilapidated
conditions, are found on E. Wash
ington St, from $50 to the corner,
$50; 16, 18 and 20 N. Noble, 625, 631
633, GIG, 621 E. Court st.
Unfit for HabitatiOn
The one-story frame building at
SOB E. Court ST., is owned by the
Brown Realty Company. The Union
Trust Company is agent for the 628
E. Washington st. two-story frame
building.
Most Of the places were unfit for
human habitation," according to
Lee. "They all are fire hazards"
The entire second floor of the
building, extending from 636 to $50
E. Washington St., was used "for
tenement house purposes in viola
ton of the State housing law. There
were open fires, oil hallway lamps,
no running water or toilet facilities" +"
Lee said.
The yards in the rear of the
buildings were ordered cleaned, in
asmuch as a great accumulation of
rubbish was a fire hazard, consti-
tuting a menace to other properties,
according to Lee.
Given 30 Days Time
Men are expected to start work
tearing down the buildings within
the next few days.
Thirty days have been given the
realtors to adhere to the building
commissions ruling.
The fire department and board
Of health have worked with the
building department, and reported
serious fire hazards and extreme un-
healthful conditions.

HOudini Back?
Widow and Mediums
Foe Amazed at writ
ing From Tomb

BD United Press
NEW YORK, May AIRS.
IN Harry Houdini, widow of the
magician, watched Joseph Dunn
niger bring a luminous ghost out
of the darkness last night and
said it was the best astral body
of her late husband she ever had
seen.
Dunninger is a foe Of mediums,
the same as Houdini was. The
"seance" was held in an effort
to prove that spiritualism is an
illusion, but the results surprised
Dunninger himself.
Messages written in the bold
handwriting of Houdini appeared
and a paraffin cast of an ecto-
plasmic hand will be examined
today to see if the magician's
fingerprints are on it.
Before he died, Houdini made
a pact with his wife and friends
that the first one to die should do
everything in his power to send
messages from the other world.
An elaborate system of signals
was devised
Since Houdini's death, his wife
has been attending an endless
round of seances, watching for the
sign. So far it has failed to ap-
pear.
Last night she became excited
when her husbands handwriting
appeared and said it was "Harry's
to the life"
Dunninger is the mind reader
who forecast Mayor James J.
Walkers exact plurality in the
last election.

Check to BaIk Corruption
at Tuesdays Primary
BareS Condition.
ONE TRIED AS KILLER
Another Was Involved in
Appealed Booze Case
in Local Court.

Persons interested in prevention
Of corruption at the polls in next
Tuesdays primary today were
scanning carefully the list of ap-
pointees for Republican positions on
the Marion County election boards,
made by George v. Coffin, Repub-
lican county chairman.
This scrutiny was intensified after
names Of several persons with court
records were found upon the list
certified by the Republican organ
ization.
The election boards supervise the
voting and counting of ballots.
On the list was found the name
Of John Roppold, an inspector-the
head Of the board-in the Fifth
precinct of the Seventh ward. Rop-
pold is also known as Grip" Rop-
pold or Grip" Hennessey.
Charged With Killing
Under the latter name he was
tried on a charge of strangling
Henry Edwards and throwing the
body into river at Salem, Ind,
two years ago. The jury disagreed.
The defense contended that Ed
wards was drunk and fell out of an
automobile into the river.
In the Fourth precinct Of the
Sixth ward, Sherman Davis, Negro,
Statehouse janitor, is listed as in
spector. Criminal Court records
show that Sherman Davis appealed
from a thirty-day Indiana State
Farm sentence and S100 fine on a
blind tiger charge, assessed in city
court in 1920.
The conviction was sustained In
Criminal Court and carried to State
Supreme Court. Davis says the
conviction was reversed.
Convicted in Liquor Case
Henry Lee. Negro, brother OF
Harry (Goosie) Lee, is listed as
clerk in the Third precinct Of the
Sixth ward. Harry recently was
convicted in the Ferracane liquor
conspiracy case in Federal Court.
Brother Henry also is known to
the courts, but more favorably. An
indictment charging Henry with
participation in a hi-jacking fracas,
resulting in the shooting Of Adam
Nupariu in 1920, was nolled as to
Henry, in April, 1921
Harold Shulke, named for clerk
in the Ninth precinct of the Elev-
enth ward, may or may not be able
to serve. He is scheduled to APP
pear before Juvenile Judge Frank
j. Lahr, Monday, on a charge OF
child neglect.
