A Chastity
Joke


Joke
We shall be interested in
learning from the President 8
report on "the state of the
Union" whether, during the
last nine months the Admin
istration has had the time or
disposition seriously to con-
slider these human problems;
and if so, what plans for the
amelioration of these condi-
tiOns and the prevention of
their recurrence the Admin
istration has to offer.
Of course, we all know
that Mr.. Hoover was speak
ing in the Pickwickian sense,
when three years ago he
held forth the hope of the
elimination of poverty in his
promise. That was a CHASTITY
joke, and yet some poor souls
believed it. But that is
thing of yesterday.
We shall want to know
how many men actually have
been put to work on public
works appropriated for by
the last Congress without
any request from the Presi-
dent. And why there has
been such interminable delay
in getting the work started.
And if the President still is
opposed to the, Wagner I'M
employment bill he vetoed
after Congress had ad-
iourned and could not pass
it over his veto.

Today if he bares his right arm
for you, you'll see scars Of his army

He fought the longest fencing
match on record in the nation, at
Providence, R. /, under police sur
veillance. He and an Englishman
fenced for six and one-half hours
with tack-point ends on the buttons
Of their foils.
Englishman Boosted
Tie Englishman boosted he could
score fifteen points-touch an adj
versary fifteen times with a foil
regardless of his opponents skill.
Lemarie accepted the challenge,
but with one qualification, and that
was that they should disrcbe the
upper half of their body and that
tack points be placed on the ends
of the foils so each hit would score
on the body as it "pinked'' the skin.
"You see," explained Lemaire, ''he
believed he could touch me fifteen
times in short period without re-
gard for defense. But as soon as the
tack points were placed on the foils
he must look to his defense"
Police Didn't Know 1t
The exhibition duel took place.
Police we're unaware that the foils
carried the tack points. Lemaire
touched the Englishnlan eleven
times to the latter's six hits and
refused to end the combat when his

open to the twelfth touch and the

DRY REPEAL UP TO
ILLINOIS GOVERNOR
Measure Now Has Passed
Both Houses of State
Legislature.

By United Press
SPRINGFIELD. Ill, March 90
The question Of whether Illinois
shall repeal its prohibition law and
join six other states in leaving 'ry
enforcement entirely to the fed
eral government rested solely today
with Governor Louis L. EInmerson.
After day of bitter debate, dur
ing which a spectator became so
excited he fell dead, the state SEN
ate Wednesday night voted, &c to
"a, to repeal the state prohibition
law and tn esearch and seizure act,
which were enacted in 1919 and 1921,
respectively.
The repeal bill, known as the
O'Grady-McDermott repeater, pre-
viously had passed the house of
representatives by 80 to Sc vote.
Governor Has Ten Days
Twice before within the last six
years similar bills had been passed
by the house, but voted down by
the senate.
Governor EmmerSon now has ten
days in which to sign or veto the
bill. If he does neither, it will be-
come law without his signature.
Immediately after the final, and
deciding vote was cast by A. H.
Roberts, Negro senator from Chi
cago, opponents and opponents Of
the measure began besieging the
Governor with pleas that he act
according to their views.
During the heated debate over the
measure, Emmerson's floor leader.
Richard J. Barr Of Peoria, fought
on the side Of the "drys," but the
Governor himself never has COM
mitted himself upon the question
and has given no hint OF what &C
ton he will take.
Spectator Falls Dead
Supporters of tee repeater pre-
dicted Emmerson would follow the
peoples mandate" and sign it. In
a referendum last fall, the state
voted 100000 to 523,130 for repeal
Of the dry laws.
When dry members sought to
fight off passage Of the bill by in
PRODUCTION of an amendment, the
debate became so exciting that Ed
ward G. Westhafer, A, of Peoria,
fell dead in the gallery and his
death scarcely attracted attention.
most Of the other spectators being
so interested in the debate they did
not notice him fall.

CITY BOY shot.
BUDDY Held IN
ILLINOIS Town
5-Year-0Id Youth Wound
ed Seriously by VII
Iage Marshal.

One Indianapolis high school stu
dent is in hospital in Paris, ILL.,,
in a critical condition from gunshot
wounds and his buddy" is in the
county jail at Marshall, Ill, today
following their alleged attempt
Wednesday night to steal a motor
car in Martinsville, Ill.
The wounded youth, according 70
reports received by police here, is
Walter K. Badger, Is, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. G.. Badger, 2725 North La
Sale street.
The boy held in jail is Walter
Franklin Reynolds, is, son of Mrs.
James Lewis, 1851 East Michigan
street.
Shot by Marshal
Relatives of the youths left to-
day to make an inquiry into the
shooting.
Two other youths, alleged to be
companions of Badger and Reyn-
olds, are held also by Marshall Off
GERS pending the arrival of their
parents.
They are Russell Lunsford, Is,
3104 Brookside parkway, and Walter
Kicks, 1922 Brookside avenue.
According to a report from Mar
tinsville the youths were accosted
by John Ellington, town marshal, as
they attempted to take a motor car.
Badger was at the wheel of the
machine, Ellington said, and ran as
he approached the auto. Ellington
seized Reynolds with one hand and,
drawing his automatic, shot Badger
in the abdomen after he ignored a
command to halt"
Were Tech Students
Reynolds told Sheriff j. N. Tur-
her, the latter said, that they had
"bummed" their way from Indian
apolis, and that they intended to
steal the car to return to their
homes and planned TO return the
auto after they reached Indian
apolis.
Inc boys were students at Arsenal
Technical high school.
Walter left home Monday night"
said the youths father Wednesday
night, "and we did not become
alarmed about his absence until
Tuesday, believing that he had
stayed all night with friend.
Had Left School
HE was just like any other boy
and had never been in trouble be-
fore. He was not bad, and can
hardly believe he was shot stealing
a car. We have a car, but he did
not seem to care much about it."
Mrs. Lewis told police that her
son left with several other boys.
Il asked him not to go away and
he said he would not. He went to
Tech, but quit school some time ago
and went to work: He was laid off
from work recently" she said.
