Tom Clough
Robbed and
Slugg'dIMon.
Held Up On Paved Highway
No. 3 East of City at
500 P. M.
RELIEVED OF $1l9.4l
Put Out of Commission While
Graphing for Gun-As-
sailants Escape

Monday evening shortly after
500 o'clock Thomas Clough, col
lector and agent for the Metropol-
itan Life Insurance Company, was
returning to his home in this city
travelling on Trunk Highway No. 8.
When he had reached a point a
short distance east of the overhead
railway bridge crossing, about three
miles from Melrose, he noticed an
auto standing partially across the
pavement. Thinking that the oc-
cupants might be in trouble Tom
came to a stop about Is feet before
he reached the car. A man ap-
preached in a leisurely manner.
When he neared his car Mr.. Clough
opened the door. AS the stranger
started to get into the car Tom no.
ticed that he had an ugly looking
gat in his hand. The gun was
showed against Toms ribs without
ceremony and he was directed to
drive his car down a side road. He
drove about 300 feet across the
railroad tracks. When he had
reached a sort of gully he was di-
rected to stop his car and get out.
In the meantime the other car
was following them.
When Tom had gotten out of
his car he thought he saw chance
to get the gun and made a grab
for it. While he was wrestling
some one from behind struck him
a terrific blow on his right arm,
paralyzing it for the time. That is
tine last Mr.. Clough knew for some
time. No. Great Northern pas
senger from the east, arriving in
this city at 8:42 P. M, brought him
back to consciousness as it passed.
He had also been slugged about the
head and across the nose and both
eyes.
The instrument used by the des-
peradoes was probably a loaded
piece of hose as he was not cut up,
only badly bruised.
At the time of the hold-up Mr..
Clougn had $119.41 on his person.
Something over 500 of the amount
belonged to the company.
Mr.. Clough only. called at one
placein Melrose to make a collec-
ton at this time. This place was
on the outskirts of the city and to
the best of his knowledge no one
saw him while in Melrose except
the man from whom he made his
collection. Whether the
car passed him after he left Mel
rose he is unable to say.
Mr.. Clough says there is a vivid
picture in his mind of the man
who entered his car. He thinks
there were two other men in the
group.
He thinks he caught the last
three numbers of the auto license
which was on a Chevrolet.
Mr.. Clough's arm still pains him
considerable but the dark blue
frames about his eyes are gradual
ly disappearing.
The money Mr.. Clough had in
his possession was that collected
late Saturday and Labor Day when
the banks were not open for bust
ness.

ARCHITECTS WANT
OLD MINT TO STAND
Charlotte, N. c., Structure,
Built in 1885, Menaced by
New Building Plans.

| Opposing the threatened destruction
Of the second oldest mint building in
the United States, established In 1885
at Charlotte, N. c., the Executive Com
| mittee of the American Institute of
Architects has adopted resolution urg-
| ing the preservation Of the building
mot only as a local but also as a ma
tional cultural influence"
The Charlotte Mint Building was es-
| tablished at the same time as the mint
| in New Orleans. 1t was burned and
rebuilt in 1874. There is danger that it
may be torn down because it adjoins
the United States Post Office, to which
an addition is shortly to be built.
There is ample property on which
to build the proposed Post Office addi-
tion without interfering with the mint
building" declares the committee.
Says Notion Misguided.
The proposal to demolish the mint
illustrates the menacing tendency to do
away with interesting old structures un-
der the misguided notion that they de-
tract from the appearance of new
buildings, according to Leicester B.
Holland, chief of the division of fine
arts of the Library of Congress, and
chairman of the Committee on Pres
ervation Of Historic Buildings Of the
Institute.
"A certain enterprising business ele-
ment is anxious to have it removed in
order to display the new structure to
better advantage" Mr.. Holland says.
Another element which would like to
preserve the building as a local mu-
scum has appealed to the American In
stitute Of Architects for help in saw
ing it.
"The greatest menace to the preser-
vation of old buildings in deprecated
neighborhoods, however, continues to
be the lover of antiques In Charleston,
the Manigault house, which the Com
mittee for Safeguarding Charleston
Architecture has been unable to pur-
chase for lack of funds, is in danger.
Placed in Museums.
"In Philadelphia the Powell house was
saved from being torn down to make
an outdoor parking space only by the
activity of Miss Frances A. Wister in
organizing the Philadelphia Society for
the Preservation of Landmarks to pur-
chase it-some years after one room
had been transferred to the Metropoli-
| tan Museum and another to the Phila-
delphia Art Museum.
I'm Baltimore recently the new Bal
| timore Art Museum has installed as a

Abbey. at Chestertown, on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, despite frantic ef-
forts of the locality to retain 1t IN

EXPANSION IS SEEN
IN SMALL HOMES
General Trade Aid Believed
in Market for $4,000 to
$4,000 Residences.

DEVELOPMENT of the national market
for homes costing fom $4,000 to $4,000
will result in general trade expansion,
according to W. C. McTarnahan, presi-
dent of large commercial concern ana
chairman of one of the groups of Pres
ident Hoover's Organization on Unem-
ployment Relief.
Speaking at meeting in New York
City, he pointed out that not only will
the building of small homes on large
scale bring about an increased demand
for building materials, but it would also
expand the markets for furniture, re-
fr1gerators, radios and other necessities
Of the home.
Home ownership" he said, "is a
powerful socal and economic force in
our national life The home owner buys
many things to embellish his home. He
ceases to be hoarder.
For a decade the attention OF archi-
tects and builders has been concen-
Evening star., 1932-03-26

trated On homes costing 5000 or over,
and many thousands OF such homes
have been built in' every section Of the
United States. But since net more
than one-third of the families Of this
country have incomes Of s2,5to q year
or more, 1t is obvious that large part
Of the population cannot afford a home
costing 5000.
"At a recent architectural competi-
ton in New York several excellent de-
signs for homes costing three or four
thousand dollars were submitted. It Is
surprising what a cozy home can be
built at small cost by careful planning.

Montana labor news., 1932-09-01

It was 35 years ago that Frank A. Hazelbaker, now lieu
tenant-governor of Montana and republican nominee for
governor, left Kansas in answer to the call of the West. He
located at Dillon, and Beaverhead county has proudly
claimed him as a citizen ever since.
One of the earliest students to enroll in the Montana State
Normal College, he afterwards taught school for a time, later
engaging in mercantile pursuits in the Big Hole basin. He
then became interested in the real estate and insurance bust
ness, building up what is now one Of the outstanding firms
of its kind in Montana. He operates an extensive stock
ranch in the Big Hole basin, on which was grown two years
ago the hay that won the worlds championship at the inter
national show in Chicago.
His entry into politics was made in 1904, when he was
elected clerk Of the district court of Beaverhead county. In
the same year he was made secretary of the republican state
convention and served in that capacity every convention I'M
til the advent of the primary election. For three terms he
was secretary of the state central committee of his party,
and for one term, its chairman. In 1920 he was elected state
senator from Beaverhead county and four years later was
reelected without opposition. He was one of the recognized
leaders in the upper house of the legislature. -Four years
ago he was elected by a huge popular vote to the office Of
lieutenant governor.
His splendid work as presiding officer of the senate won
hin the respect and sincere admiration of all mmebers,
republicans and democrats alike.
In 1915 Mr.. Hazelbaker promoted and took charge Of the
Montana exhibits at the Panama-Pacific International Ex-
position in San Francisco, and during the past several years
has actively assisted in Montana's agricultural representa-
ton at the international Hay and Grain show in Chicago,
where this state has attracted worldwide attention by its re-
markable prize winnings. As secretary of the Beaverhead-
Madison Stockgrowers association, he has taken a leading
part in the development of that industry in southwestern
Montana.
Mrs. Hazelbaker was, before her marriage, Lois Brown
Brantly, daughter of the late Chief Justice and Mrs. Theo-
Montana labor news., 1932-09-01

dore Brantly. They have three children, Frank, Jr, Lois
and Theodore Brantly Hazelbaker.
Probably no one in Montana enjoys a wider personal ac-
quaintance throughout the state than Leutenant-Go Governor
H~azelbaker, and certainly no one is more familiar with every
section of Montana and its particular problems.

TWO CONVENTIONS
MAY LAST 10 DAYS
Chicago Expects $500,000
Daily Return From Po-
IitiCaI CcncIaVeS.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 3.-If the law OF
averages works out the Republican
National Convention will be over by
the night of June IT and the Demo-
cratic National Convention will adjourn
about noon July 2.
In the last 50 years the Democrats
have averaged 5 6-l3 days in session
and the Republicans 3-13.
s5oO,ooo Each Day.
Speculation over the duration of the
big meeting Is rife in Chicago just now
as hotel owners, restaurateurS and
tradesmen anticipate eagerly the COM
ing rush of convention business. What
a deadlock might mean to them can
be seen in the estimate that each con-
vention day will bring in $5O0,OO0.
Both tradition and present circum-
stances point to a brief gathering of
Republicans. Their convention starts
June IA, with the denomination OF
President Hoover a foregone conclu-
sion. Even with full day devoted to
debate over a prohibition plank, the
meeting is not expected to last more
than four days. Tickets have been
printed for only four days, but the
fourth-day ticket entities the holder to
any and all future sessions.
Set Record in 1924.
The Democratic convention with its
two-thirds majority rule holds Chicago's
hopes for financial harvest. A glance
at the records gives considerable foun-
dation for those hopes. The longest
convention, of course. was the 1924
meeting in New York when the dele
gates wrangled for II days before they
nominated John w. Davis. There have
been other long Democratic conven-
tions. however, notably the 1912 and
1920 meetings of nine days each.
If they hold an average convention,
the Democrats would adjourn Just in
time to get home, or be well on the way.
Sunday. Their meeting this year starts
Monday. June 81. Tickets have been
printed for IL sessions or for six days,
if the practice of holding two sessions
a day is followed.

I'VE will agree" he said, that there
Is a Creator or Cause. To conceive of
q creation without a Creator is impos
sible. The very fact that there is
being. or consciousness, brings with it
the irrefutable conclusion that there is
a source or cause of being.
What boon Christian Science has
brought to us by revealing the true
nature of the all-loving Father!
God cannot be localized. limited in
power or restricted in any way. The
Father, Eternal Life. could not mani
fest Himself in that which was ma
terial, dying mortal or inharmonious.
He Himself must express Himself in
that which is immortal.
This life must be infinite and un-
changing. 1t is self-sustained and self
supported, for, being eternal. there Is
nothing in life that could destroy it."
