 NIr. Ellingwood sighed as he told her to call up the office girls in the morning. Then he hung up.
 That's how it is all the time," he mourned. Even when I'm home l get no peace. Up until 10 and II o'clock at night the telephone rings and people ask me if they can have a tennis court tomorrow.
 Tn fact, that is one of the reasons why the swimming pool was opened early this year. For weeks even before it was opened the telephone here at the office and the phone at home kept con- stantly ringing and people asked if it was ladies night or mems night or what not. It got so that at home we could not do any work. We had to camp beside the telephones.'

 Company Will Assist
 E. w. kritzer, vice president of the company which manufacture l the refrigerating system used in the building. hurried to the scene upon being informed of the tragedy by Coroner Bundesen. He agreed to help the coroner eliminate the use of methyl chloride gas.
 kritzer said that more than s60,- 0O0.000 had been invested here in methyl chloride refrigerating sys- tenn, and that many small contrac- tors, financially unable to make the change to another refrigerant. prob- ably would be put out of business.
 The refrigeration system operated from a central plant which manu- factured the gas in the basement and pumped it to the roof from there it flowed by gravity through the 70 individual units. A similar plant was blamed two weeks ago for the deaths of two persons.

 to Lips at Banquet

London, July IT Rl-Ambassador or Dawes sat with 200 other guests at the hospitable board of the famous old Vintner's hall last night, but abstained from drinking any of the wines and liquors which were offered the diners.
 He did not, however, refrain from taking part in the ancient ceremony of passing on huge loving cup in the circle of guests. The cup, filled with specially brewed sack, was handed to Lord Derby. who presided.
 Lord Derby turned to General Dawes and drank the ambassadors s health with due ceremony. The ambassador then was supposed in turn to drink the health of the guest on the left, Lord Riddell, London publisher. Instead, however. he lifted the cup to his lips, held it there a moment and then passed it on.
 Lord Derby in a speech later said he gathered from remarks he has heard Ambassador Dawes was going to introduce the loving cup cere- mony among American senators in Washington, the cup to be filled with the national American bever- age.

French Concerned Over
 Point of Conference

Paris, July IT CP-The French press today showed some concern over the final selection of meeting place for the conference of foreign ministers to put into operation the Young reparation plan.
 Great Britain. Germany and Bel gium have approved tentatively the choice of London. but France insists it should he a city in neutral coun- try and has suggested Lausanne, Switzerland.
 No reply has been received from London to the French note suggest ing Switzerland. In some circles it is believed the British delay might be caused by desire not to embarrass the French government by insistence on the London choice during the debt ratification debates in parlia- ment.

PLAN DELIBERATE" ACTION
No Hint on Possible Use of Fund GiYen-Wheat Rise PleaSeS

Washington, July 17@PlReduc- tion of the marketing costs of agri- cultural products will be sought by the federal farm board as a means of boosting the farmers returns without adding corresponding in- crease to the consumers expenses.
 To accomplish this objective, the board has set itself to the task of organizing the farmers marketing facilities on a gigantic national scale, working, all the time with and through established groups of farmers who are organized or who may be organized on a basis of spe- cifc farm commodities.H%
 Board to Take Trip
 Declaration of this policy was given ina statement by the board with an announcement that the members would go to Baton Rouge. La, July 29, to attend the meeting of the American Institute of Cooper ation during. which they expect to confer with national leaders in CO., operative marketing.
 The boards announcement warn ed that "deliberate"s action must be expected. It was revealed that sev- eral appeals are pending from agri- cultural groups, but no hint was given as to the probable disposition of the $150,000,OO0 which the boarI already has available out of the $500, 100000 loan fund.
 The boards decision to work through the farm organizations in it's drive for reduced marketing costs is expected to lead to many confer ences with the agricultural leaders. Regional commodity meetings are planned "as soon as time will per init" in such sections as the need for them becomes apparent.

 Chairman Legge is enthusiastic about the rise in wheat prices. He says. it is justified by crop reports and weather conditions both at home and abroad, "although I would like to take as much credit as pos sible for it for the board" The psychological effect" Of the estau- ishment of the board, he believes. has helped.

Addressing the Citizens Service As
ISOLATION, a volunteer law enforcement
group, at a meeting in First Congrega-
tional Church, Camalier denied 1t was
necessary to employ such methods to
Bkcure convictions.
"InIormers, generally speaking" Cam
alier declared, ARE a low form OF c1t1-
zen, unworthy of belief or respect and
should be thrown into the discard. They
are responsible for most of the unlawful
raids, unlawful seizures and unlawful
entries.
Men Unworthy Of Belief.
"Such men are not to be believed;
no Jury should be asked to convict on
the statement of an informer; no
prosecutor should be compelled to go
before a court and ask for the convic-
ton of a defendant on the testimony
of such an individual, and no grand
jury should be requested to indict a
person on the evidence submitted by
such a party"
Worst of ALL" Camalier declared,
''Are some of these paid informers who
claim to be ministers of the Gospel,
when ask them their occupation, after
they have told me they have made buys
from bootleggers and are ready to
testify in court against them. They
contend their interest is based on reli-
gion and in aiding to convict they are
aiding a religious cause. do not mean
ordained ministers who seriously believe
they are accomplishing a worthy pur-
pose in assisting police. 1t is the self
styled, unordained creature, actuated by
pecuniary motives, who adds a spurious
title to his name and operates as an
informer under the cloak of a religion
he does not possess. 1t is most embar-
RAISING to me and disgrace to the
church to have to call these men doctor
and reverend when they take the wit

Wants Salaried Agents.
Tbs present rate of convictions will
be increased only when these informers,
who, he explained, get $3.50 for each
case, are replaced by force of Govern
ment agents who are paid q certain
salary regardless of the number of peo-
pie that are sent to prison on their tes-
timony, the prosecutor declared.
The assistant district attorney, ad-

in proper law enforcement, advocated
the widening Of the files of selection in

liable citizens are present in the jury
box, and then have the term Of such
