By United Press
CHICAGO, July 9.-The Chicago
Church Federation, through a SUBJ

Of crime conditions in Chicago to-
day, intended to determine not who
killed McSwiggin and Lingle, but
why they were killed"
Alderman Arthur F. Albert, leader
Of the fight to reorgarize the police
department, announced that he had
been invited to appear before the
subcommittee this afternoon, and
said he would do SC.
The inquiry, headed by the Rev.
Frank E. Jensen, pastor of the Mt.
Zion Lutheran church, will be
carried on in secret, except that
statements of fact" will be issued
frequently, and at the end Of its
work, probably in the fall, the sub

ingS and communications
Witnesses to be invited before the
committee will include police and
other public officials, but their

What are the crime conditions IN
Chicago?
Who are responsible?
Is there an understanding among
certain officials and the under
world?
What are the obligations of the
police? The courts? The press?
The politicians? The citizens? The
voter? The church?
The subcommittee was appointed
by the political action commission
of the federation which, since 1928,
has urged the appointment of an
impartial body to inquire into the
organization and efficiency of the
police department.

This super-medicine of 80 ingredi-
ents strikes at the very source Of
ills of the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels, and Of rheumatism,
neuritis and nervousness. And Kon-
jola, as hundreds of men and wom-
en- of all ages have learned, to their
everlasting Joy, brings relief that
is swift and thorough. Do not Won
der about Konjola. 1t is so easy
to get all the facts. Call on the
Konjola Man at the Hook Depend
able drug store, Illinois and Wash
ington streets, this city, and he will
tell you Of countless cases like that
of Mrs. Stella Boots, 1885, Virginia
avenue, indianapolis, who recently
made the following statement:
For the past twelve years I have
been employed at the State House
and during the last two years there
were many days that it was almost
impossible for me to work, but I
had to keep going as I am a widow
and have two children depending
upon me. Indigestion and kidney
trouble ruined my health. Food
was not properly digested; my back
hurt constantly, and my rest was
greatly disturbed by night rising. I
dropped in weight from 1876 pounds
to lit in two years, and was weak,
rundown and nervous.
Friends insisted that I try Kon-
jola. The first bottle proved that I
was on the right track and l have
kept taking Konjola for about three
months. Every one Of my ailments
have been conquered, and again
have good health. Konjola proved
blessing to me and my children
and / will never be without this
marvellous medicine"
It is the same splendid story Of
success whenever Konjola is put
to the test.
The Konjola Man is at the. Hook
Dependable drug Store, Illinois and
Washington streets, this city. where
he is meeting the public daily, ex-
planning the merits Of this new and
different medicine.

Among rural route mail carriers

sorts his quota of mail after after

cover his route, regardless of

him.

Retailers Of Indianapolis and In

today BY the interstate commerce
commission when freight rates
we're increased II cents for 100
pounds.
The revision. made by the federal
commission to increase railroad
revenues between s10,O00,0O0 and
$4,000 900, means that Indianapolis
retail stores purchasing 100 pounds
Of drst-class merchandise in New

freightage on 100 pounds IN lieu OF
the old rate Of S.32.
This was the opinion expressed by

bureau Of the Indiana State Cham
her Of Commerce, after a peruSal OF
the rates revised by the commission
and issued for publication today IN
Washington. ID. G.
Fought for Rates
We sought to keep the freight

eCoapstick declared" The commits

We fled an exception to his report
and fought the case, but the COM
Missions findings show We lost.
Coapstick pointed out that boots
and shoes - already under high
penalties from the Grundy tariff
bill-shipped out of Boston, would
take a still higher freight rate than
New York.
Boston formerly hao the same
rate to Indianapolis that New York
had" he said
The freight increases include a
sls-cent hike to all first class goods
shipped TO OF from Indianapolis to
Pittsburgh.
Manufacturers in Indiana will
benefit by revisions in western trunk

the old rate for first-claSs freight
from indianapolis to Kansas City
IS S1.37 and the new one at Sl.4O
while the Chicago rate to Kansas
City was S12O. and under the re-
vision is S1.33.
You see the spread Chicago hao
over Indianapolis to Kansas City is
cut 10 cents by the new rates, de-
spite the 3-cent increase for Indian

he explained.
we got what We went after in
reducing the spread for goods
shipped westward, at least to some
points. Take fifth class freight,

The old rate was 41ia cent. In

ASK KNOWS
He Is 1O3 and Cont Worry
BY SHELDON KEY

Age looks with new eyes-eyes Of
the sage-which is the reason that
when a man lives to, be 10S years
old, stock crashes, hard times
tariffs, or even prohibition are just
events that pass quickly.
At least this is the way John L
Skinner, 1O3, of Paramount, W. Va.
and former resident Of Hartford
City, Ind, sees the big questions
that are worrying lot Of young
folks today"
Here are some of his views ex-
pressed while visiting his son, G. w
Skinner, 1143 Dudley avenue, In
dianapolis.
"Prohibition-that's not the most
serious thing on earth-but as for
me. well, 1 drank lots of whisky and
have used tobacco since 1852"
And as for hard times, he says,
eve lived to see good times and
bad times-a change in administra-
ton usually follows such periods,
and I believe the people will de-
mand a change next election"
He is "dyed-in-the-wool' DEM
ocrat and admits his second eye
sight is still a little narrowly TO-
cused in regards to politics.
Skinner, who Iabored in the oil
fields at eighty and married his
third wife at the age of ninety, does
not look his years. His step is spry
and he would feel offended if Of
fered a hand when crossing the
street.
He humorously relates an incident
that occurred in the days when to-
matoes were considered poison fruit
and called Jerusalem Apples.
81 was the first person to eat a
tomato in Charles county, West Vir-
GINA he declares, "and when my
folks found it out they put me to
