n. Ayres. The Finley Grange has
PRACTICALLY completed their hall,
built entirely by donation labor.
Their building has cost them APP

don. On April 10 the dedication

would appreciate it if, as far as
possible, Oranges can notify them
little ahead of time as to the
number who will probably attend.
The Kennewick Valley Grange
reported definite activities toward
the improvement of the ground
shout their hall. A special commit
tee consisting of Lee Lampson,
Bob Rupp and Forrest Allison have
been working on plans for irrigat-
ing, and steps have been taken to
secure trees for planting on the
grounds. A little later it is expect
ed that shrubbery will also be in
Guided and that this corner will be
made on of the real beauty spots
Of the county.
The business of the afternoon
and evening was quite varied. Mr..

JAIL CASTOR MEANS
Harding Scandal Figure Hit
Cop, Is Charge.

By CHted Press
BETHESDA, Md, Nov. 20-Gas-
ton B. Means, spectacular figure of
the Harding administration scan
dals, spent the night in jail here
and today was released in $500 bond
on charges of assaulting a police
man.
Webb Hershberger of the Mont
gomery county police, reported that
he went to the Means home in
Chevy Chase in response to a call,
and found Means beating his wife.
Means struck her in the policeman's
presence, and hit the policeman
several times when an arrest was
attempted, Hershberger reported.
Means was a leading witness in
1924 in the senate investigations
of the justice department and the
veterans bureau. He later served a
term in Atlanta for mail fraud in
connection with the National Glass
Casket Company case.
His latest public exploit was "the
Strange Death of President Hard
ing" book written in collaboration
with May Dixon Thacker.

Japanese Carving Shown al
Art Institute Bears PreSi-

Believe it or not, Ripley. but the
sum total of all the caricatures of
President Herbert Hoover lies in a
case at the John Heron Art in
stitute.
Strange as it might seem to Presi-
dent Hoover, it would be stranger
still to Japanese artist of 200
years ago, to discover that. in all
innocence, he had caricatured a
future President of nation still
in the mold!
And now that the Japs are max
ing plenty of caricatures of the
President, it is an odd coincidence
that this little piece of wood cary
ing should come to light again.
1t is a part of the oriental COL
lection of the museum which is cele-
brating its twenty-f1fth birthday
this month by an exhibit of almost
all OF its possessions.
The object is a smoothly carved
netsuke, large, button-like holder
originally invented by the Japanese
to hold his pipe and tobacco pouch,
his inro, or medicine box, and other
small objects slung by a cord to his
girdle.

CHARGE DEPUTY
FIRED AT MINER
Killer Pleads Self Defense
at Murder Trial.

! By United Press
MT. STERLING, KY, Nov. 90
The defense in the case of William
Burnett, miner charged with
murder, sought to show in his trial
today that Harlan county deputies
fired first in the mine strike melee
during which Deputy Sheriff Jesse
Pace was slain.
Burnett's trial is the first result
ing from bloodshed in the Harlan
and Evarts KY, labor disorders
of last spring.
The coal miner testified in his
own behalf Thursday. He admitted
emptying a pistol at Pace and
another deputy, but not, he insisted,
until they both shot at him. Ten
other defense witnesses gave similar
testimony.
Burnett explained his possession
of the pistol by saying he was
hard up" and had started to town
to sell the weapon, when he and
other miners met thirteen deputies,
seeking Burnett to serve a warrant
charging him with publicly whip
ping a Strikebreaker.

FOXY STRADDLE
IS LIKE Gift
FOR CONGRESS
Clever Vets Proposals Are
Received Gladly by
Puzzled Ones.

By Scripps-H otoGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-Clever
vets in both political parties are
offering to puzzled congressman a
convenient straddle, which is being
adopted widely-namely, advocating
a referendum on the prohibition
question.
Many of the legislators who have
adopted this device openly as a
middle-of -the-road position which
commits them to nothing come
from districts where sentiment is
believed to have become suddenly
enthusiastic for modification or re-
peal, and these men have admitted
cautiously that it would be good
thing to give the people a chance
to express themselves.
Others declare that they still are
dry, but see no reason for withhold
ing the referendum.
Every congressman in the Min
nesota delegation of ten members as
well as both senators, with one ex-
ception Representative Goodwin,
Rep, now has advocated a popular
vote. At least four of these men,
however, still consider themselves
bone dry.
In Michigan, the switch of Repre-
sentatives Woodruff, Hooper and
Bohn to a position from mot wish
ing to discuss the matter" to one of
favoring a referendum, is considered
significant.
The association against the proli-
bition amendment claims twenty
eight or thirty senators and ITO
house members in favor of a vote
on repeal. In 1928 only fifteen sem
ators and seventy-six house mem
berS even would consider the ques-
ton of a referendum.

Kile has had a lot of close calls,
he said, but has been fortunate
in regard to injuries.
His most serious injury occurred
in 1897 at the Denison hotel fire.
While he was coupling hose to a

on the water and the pressure
forced off the plug cap, striking
him in the face and knocking him
backward. Bones in his face were
smashed.
