ROBINSON MAY
/ RULE CONCLAvE
Slate Arkansas Democrat
for Chairmanship.
JUNE 1, 1928

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Sensa-
tor Joseph T. Robinson Of Arkansas,
will be chosen permanent chairman
of the Democratic convention at
Houston, Senators predict.
: Robinson, skilled parliamentar-
Ian, has been the Democratic leader
in the House for two sessions. Re-
Gently he incurred the wrath of
Senator Heflin of Alabama, when he
collected, from the standpoint of
party harmony, to some of Hef1in's
violent assaults on Governor Smith
of New York. Robinson also pro-
.tected Hefins reflections on the
Catholic Church.
His selection as permanent chair
man Of the Houston convention
means that Senators will be the
permanent presiding officers of both
National conventions. Senator
George Moses of New Hampshire is
slated for this honor at the Repub-
lican convention.
Senator Robinson achieved dis
finction in January, 1913, when he
resigned as Congressman to be in
augurated Governor of Arkansas
and two weeks later he was elected
lby the Arkansas Legislature to the
Senate.

from rundown and disordered
tnner-system, complaining of aches
and pains and remarking about the
tired, drowsy feeling that comes
over us so often. Since the
Sntroduction of the new Konjola
medicine, many thousands OF
people throughout the Central and
Middle West have voluntarily
offered strong words of praise, and
many hundreds of local men and
women have given their signed
statements to the Konjola Man at
Hooks drug store, Illinois and
Washington streets, indianapolis,
telling of the wonderful benefits
they have derived from this cele-
brated compound.
One of the latest to describe TT
NEW health they have received frol-
koniola is a well-known citizen of
indianapolis, Mr.. Edw. w. Middle
ton. who for sixteen years has
served as an attendant at the West
Gate of the Crown Hill Cemetery,
living at 3235 Boulevard Place, this
city.
1T is a pleasure for me to
recommend a medicine like Kon-
iola," said MIR. Middleton. Il have
never offered my public inoorse-
uaent before, but believe 1 am do
ing the right thing by telling others
how this medicine helped me to
regain my health and strength.
IT mad never been able to de-
termlne Just what made me feel
so weak and rundown, but for quite
some time, I was very nervous and
always had that half-sick feeling.
This general weakness made it
rather hard for me to get the ut
most out of life. I tried various
tonics, but none of them seemed to
do me any good. My appetite was
Door, and although the food did
eat caused me scarcely any trouble,
at the same time, it did not nourlsh
me properly. Finally, my nerves
gave out under the strain and at
times I was very irritable and cross.
Even at night my condition both
cred me and I did not sleep well
at all. This made ne feel all the
worse the next Gay.
1.-THE unusual praise and recon-
mendation so many reliable people
of this city we're giving Konjola
convinced me that this medicine
must have merit. I began investi-
eating and inquiring about Kon-
lola. and found that it did all that
is claimed for it. I made up my
mind then to try it myself. Now
I am convinced that this medicine
is splendid for rundown condition
of the entire system. 1t did not
take any great amount to make a
change in my health. Very soon
after I started taking it began
feeling better every day, and my
appetite steadily increased. MY
nerves are steady now and do not
give me any trouble at all. That
constant half-sick feeling has given
way to one of vigor and energy.

to such an extent, 1 cannot help

The Konjola Man is at Hooks

of this remedy. Konjola is sold al

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Acting or

police and forces Of the State'e at

Chicago's Little Italy" in an ef
fort to unearth extortion terrorists
who have thrown thousands OF Chi
cago parents into panic.
Slowly but surely the gigantic
dragnet of the law is ensnarine
the abettors of the Ranieri kid
napers. Witness after witness was
brought today to the criminal
courts building, where Assistant
States Attorneys Samuel Hoffman
and Charles Mueller penetrated lit
tie by little the stole silence OF the
banditti.
Police made another dash into
a. west Chicago suburb. expecting
to locate the farm house where
Billy Ranieri was held for the 13
days of his captivity while his alb
ductors negotiated with his frenzied
father for 100000 ransom.
Hold Farmer and Wife 4.
By arresting the farmer and his
wife, who kept the boy for the kid
napers, authorities hope to secure
evidence that would convict every
member of the band Of extortionists.
Shown a photograph Of Angelo
Pettiti, who has been kept in Jail by
Criminal Judge Comerford. the boy
partially identified it as the man who
grabbed him the day he was kid
naped by two men in a large automo-
bile while on his way home from
school.
The net of evidence around Pettiti
was drawn still closer when Nicholas
Ranieri, brother of the kidnapped lad,
told police that he had received a
phone call shortly after the abduc-
ton. The voice, he said, was that Of
Pettiti, asking him to come ana meet
him. Nicholas then told how ne had
kept an appointment with Pettiti,
whom he knew, and how Petttti de.
manded the $50, 900 ransom.
Another development was the iden.
tification of the doctor and lawyer,
who were said to have served a.
runners in dealings between Frank
father OF the boy, and the
Brothers Identified
The physician was DR.. Vito A.
Taglia and the lawyer is not law
yer at all, but a law student,
Pompey Taglia, the doctors brother.
Both deny all connection with the
extortion plot.
Lieut.. Paul Riccio. Italian de.
tective, who worked on the Ranieri
case from the beginning was trans
ferred yesterday, because he is said
to have advised Billy Ranieri to
keep his mouth shut"

As Governor Smith tore into his
detractors, he frequently turned and
faced the Rev. John Roach Stratof,.
one Of his bitterest opponents, who
sat back OF him on the platform 70
the left. 1t had been reported that
DIR. Straton would ''heckle the
Governor, but he remained silent.
BY his side sat DIR. Moroecai r.
Ham. another fundamentalist who
has been preaching against the
Democratic nominee.
At one point, when Governor
Smith cited the appointments re
has made as governor of New York,
showing a heavy preponderance or
Protestants over Catholics. the
crowd interrupted the Governor
speech with continued shouts Of:
Hami Ham! Ham! Pour 1t On
him." Ham being the name Of
Baptist minister who was with DR..
Straton on the platform.
The Governor was literally deli
uged with congratulatory tele-
grams today for his action in bring
ing the whispering campaign still
further into the open. They started
coming within an hour after he
concluded, and they continued to-
day in ever-increasing volume.
Mrs. Willebrandt was not the
only one named BY Governor Smith.
He also called ex-senator R0Eert
T. Owens Of Oklahoma, one Of tho
Democrats who bOlted the Smith
ticket and announced for Hoover.
The real basis for Owens bolt, lle
said. was to be found in religious
grounds. This is Owens home

audience they were silent.
The Ku Klux Klan, the Fellow.
ship Forum. an anti Catholic weekly
published in Washington, and d
Baptist publication in Lexington,

nunciation by name. The latter
publication printed a story to the
effect that Governor Smith had
driven an automobile down broad
way at SO miles an hour while
drunk.
