PERFUME DRAWS BEES
Finally, One Stings Woman Radiat-
ing Flowery Odor.

In the happy era when flower
perfume had a language all its own
for human beings, Mrs. H. G. Hen
nessey, 1929 North keystone avenue,
was an addict-brt not any more.
The insect in the ointment is not
a fly, but a humble bee. The crea-
lures, she says, have become lin
guistic, at least as far as perfume
conversation is concerned.
Radiating the breaths of her ia
vorite perfume Monday, she went to
city market. All the way, bees
clustered around. Finally one stung
her.

RULES IN BANK FAILURE
Meyer-Kiser ReceiverShip Suit Gets
TreanOr Opinion.

Opinion concurring in the recent
supreme court decision that the
state banking commissioner has the
sole right to bring receivership
action against failing banks, was
handed down today by Justice Wal
ter E. Treanor.
Treanor concurred in this con-
clusion of his colleagues when the
decision was handed down, but to-
day expounded the reasoning which
led to that conclusion. The case at
issue was that of the defunct
Meyer -Kiser bank, whose depositors
efforts to bring appointment of a
receiver were halted by a supreme
court writ of prohibition issued
against Special Superior Judge
Thomas D. MCGEE.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The political
~ pulse of Illinois beats fastest
in this city-and here the almost
constant reiteration is that illinois
will go heavily Democratic in 1882"
The unparalleled Democratic vote
rolled up in the recent city election
is pointed out as one sure indica-
ton of this. Then is added the sta
tistical weight Of the vote by which
the picturesque, pyrotechnical ora
tor, James Hamilton Lewis, de-
feated Ruth Hanna Mccormick last
fall.
Chicago is unqualifiedly wet-as
every one we'll knows-and Chicago
will vote against any dry Repub-
lican.
Governor L. L. Emerson already is
doomed, according to the know it
all" politicians, because of his veto
of the bill repeating the state pro-
hibition law, so eagerly sought by all
the liberal, moist, and wet groups.
The tale most oft heard here is
that Governor Emmerson killed the
repeal bill to pave the way for an
appeal to the drys as a logical cam
didate for the G.. o. P. nomination
for vice-president.
It is remembered that after being
approved by the encouragement
of Illinois, the bill lay on the Gov
errors table for several days be-
fore he took any action.
Now it is said that he was wait
ing to hear from Washington as to
what his decision should be.
Whether or not the command did
come, Emmerson vetoed the bill,
displeasing thousands in his own
party and filing the Democrats
with glee.
illinois is wet" they shouted
when this action was announced.
Look at the majority accorded
Lewis and he ran as an out and
out wet"
However, downstate rural ILL
nois is dry.
The prohibition movement first
took root in the agricultural regions
and because of the years of lectur-
ing, preaching and campaigning
against the Demon Rum" it has
become almost an obsession.
a
But urban Illinois far outnumbers
agricultural Illinois, and the party
leaders here may be correct in their
Surlnises that the veto has wrought
almost irreparable harm to the
Republicans.
Those members Of both houses
who fought for the passage of the
bill are irate-they are vowing
vengeance and the target is Emmer-
son.
1--WE won't even give him united
Illinois delegation in the national
convention if he becomes a candi-
date for the vice-presidency," one
downState legislator told the writer.
"Of course, my constituents are
Satified that I fought hard and did
all I could for the repeal of the
prohibition law, but they feel rather
disappointed with my having failed
to swing the Governor over to our
side, and SO blame me for it," he
explained.
The veto of the dry law repeal bill
also has injured the Republicans
in Illinois in another important
manner-the pocketbook.
How this is being accomplished
will be discussed Wednesday,
