SHOOTING STARS.

Simple DictiOn.
For eloquence It's safe to seek
In him who strives the truth to speak
And to express It is content,
Without profuse establishment.

To sway opinions Of the rest,
There is small hearing for the ELF
Who hasn't quite convinced himself

Attorney General Mitchell at Washington, D. c. knew the high regard Marshal Sulh is held in by residents of this Division, the matter would end right there. There is question about his efficiency qualifications conduct of his office

COUNTY BALLOT
BOXES LOCKED
BY COURT
Action Taken After Leaders
Of COP. Protest Democrats
Win All But One Of offices

With Montgomery county ballot
boxes under lock and key, indica-
tions were strong today that Re
publican county leaders will de-
mand q recount.
Party leaders last night op-
peared before Judge Robert B.
Peter, Of the circuit court, with
the complaint that the ballot
boxes were stored in the hall Of
the courthouse basement, and as
serted that the law required that
the boxes be locked up in the
custody Of the clerk Of the cir
cult court. Preston B. Ray. clerk,
was not in the courthouse, but ms
deputy, Clayton Watkins, ap-
peared before the court and said
that the boxes would be stored
In the office.
Put In Strong Room.
After a careful check, to make
sure that the boxes had not been
tampered with, they were carried
into q strong room in the base
men and locked up.
While Republican leaders last
night refused to discuss their
plans, lesser lights in the party
were loud in their declaration
that a recount would be de-
manded. Party leaders conferred
for long time behind closed
doors and it is believed that they
were engaged in preparing a
petition to the court for a re-
count. According to the usual
procedure this petition would be
presented to the court, which
would order the supervisors to
make a recheck Of all ballots, in
cluding those disqualified in the
original count.
Those appearing before the
court with the demand that the
ballot boxes be kept under lock
and key were Walter w. Dawson,
r. Barnard, Republican candi-
date for States attorney; Paul
Sleman, chairman Of the Repub-
lican State central committee for
Montgomery county: r. c. Smith,

LIMIT DOPE
Manufacturers Dominate Ses-
sions Planned to Restrict
Production Of Narcotics

LONDON, Nov. 8 CUs0-The
preliminary narcotic conference
between governmental officials
and opium manufacturers, 1t pres
ent sitting in secret here, has
every appearance Of failing to
achieve the purpose for which 1t
was convened, q wellknown au-
thority disclosed today.
Drug manufacturers are domi-
mating the discussions, Universal
Service was informed, and there
is little hope that the conference
will present to the League Of Ma
tons central opium board any
method for limiting narcotic pro
duction.
Propose Restriction
The League Of Nations unani-
mously decided in 1929 to convene
a conference at whicR internar
tional agreement would be sought
to limit production Of opium de-
rivatives and cocaine to the worlds
medical requirements.
The advisory committee decided
that the only workable scheme
was that formulated by the State
Department in washington, which
was: ,
Consuming countries should de-
eide before each fiscal year the
total Of narcotics needed in that
period. Manufacturing countries
would be given license to manu-.
facture only that amount OF
drugs.
Manufacturers Control
The manufacturers attending
the present conference, however,
are completely swamping the
Leagues recommendations, and II
the manufacturers present the
scheme adopted here-the most
likely result win be a mar
cotic manufacturing monopoly,
with a contingent increase IN
Representatives Of the United
States. Turkey and Russia are
holding out strongly against this
scheme, but the remainder Of the
European delegates appear to be
siding with the dope manufac-
turers. According to one OBJ
server:
"The manufacturers are die
tating to the conference, in
stead Of the conference dictat-
- to them"

PLANET NAMES
SUGGESTED

The name Minerva" has been
suggested to the Navy Depart
ment for the newly-discovered
comet, according to Capt. c. S.
Freeman, superintendent Of the
Naval Observatory, who yesterday
stated that his office is receiving
numerous suggestions as to names
for the new planet.
One of the first formal Sug-
gestions was the name "Erebus, "
as indicative of the darkness of
outer space which has been with
holding the planet from human
ken all these many centuries.
Captain Freeman maintains
that Minerva" is the best sug-
gestions so far made. 'Not only
does the name typify the human
wisdom that enabled Prof. Lowell
to reason out the planets prob
able position long before it's dis
covery," says Captain Freeman,
"but the name is associated with
handicraft, and it was with a
Photographic plate in the hands
Of an observatory assistant that
the planet was discovered. Fur
thermore, the announcement was
made in March, which is the
month of the ancient annual
feast Of Minerva"
Captain Freeman says the
equipment Of the Naval Observa.
tory is of too antiquated a char.
acter to be of much use in OBJ
serving the newly-discovered
planet.
