Bolivia's announcement that she
was ready for arbitration.
The Bolivian government an
nounced it would accept the Pan

further consideration of the ques-

Washington Times in coop
Grafton with all the Hearst
morning, evening, and Sunday
papers in the United States IS
now in progress.
Publication of the results of
this tabulation will start within
the next 10 days, as soon as the
tabulating staff has completed
the analyses of a sufficient num-
Der of ballot cards to give rep
resentative cross section of the
trend over the country as a whole.
This poll probably the most
unusual nationwide straw vote
ever attempted, has been de-
signed to obtain an accurate in
dication we'll in advance of the
November election of what the
result will be when the voters go
to the polls on November 8.
Tremendous Task
To make this poll an accurate
barometer, a large staff of edi-
tors, stenographers, and clerks
has spent more than six months
in preparatory work before the
actual mailing of ballot cards to
the voters over the country got
under way.
The poll is unusual in that for
the first time an individual poll
is being made of each one of the
more than 5000 counties distri-

reduced merely to the State as a

CUT UTHOURS,PLEA
Of A.F.L. CHIEF

The urgent necessity for a
gigantic national public works
construction program to provide
employment for the jobleSs mil
lions was stressed today by Will
liam Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor.
In a statement on the latest
unemployment figures, Gre n
warned that unless shorter work
ing hours were adopted and large
scale public works construction
programs undertaken, the coun-
try would be faced with jobleSs
army of 100000 this winter.
Declaring unemployment is in
creasing rapidly throughout the
country, the labor leader said:
"NO measures taken thus far
have even scratched the surface
of the problem. We must Gre
ate millions of jobs. Labor
wants to earn it's own livelihood.
1t wants the jobs that would
come from a shorter wOrk-Week,
slum reclamation and building
homes for workers, Government
works, and the increased &C
tivity of regular production
channels that would be Stimu-
lated by such undertakings"
Green said the unemployment
estimates for June, based on Gov
ernment figures, showed 11,023,-
900 out of work.

DIARY REVEALS
LANCASTER'S s
MAD LOVE
British FIier'S Own Story of
Infatuation for "Chubbie"
Read to Jury

COURTHOUSE, MIAMI,
Fla, Aug. 5 QN.S.).-Capt.
William n. Lancaster's own
story of his infatuation for
Chubbie Mrs. Jessie NJ.
Keith -Miller-and the mental
agony he underwent when he
learned Haden Clarke had
won her affections was laid
before the jury today at Lam
casters trial for the murder
of Clarke.
That story in Lancaster's own
words, from the diary which the
British flier kept, was read into
the record by the prosecution in
support of the States contention
that Lancaster, beside himself
with jealousy, shot Clarke to
death in the Keith-Miller home
here the night of April 20.
Covers Months
The diary covered the first four
months of 1882. Its last entry,
April IT, was made in st. Louis
just before Lancaster left there
on the hurried flight which ended
in Miami the afternoon before
Clarke was killed.
Day by day the diary told its
story of an intense devotion, OF
an unerding battle against lack
of money, of continuing pur-
suit of will-of ,the-wisp business
schemes, and of a regard tor
"Chubbie" which mattered more
to Lancaster than the failure
of ventures or the ever-pressing
problem of where his next meal
was coming from.
Mental Agony! Hell!
It spoke of the meeting with
Clarke, young newspaperman'
who was to "ghost-write" Mrs.
Keith-Miller's book for her, OF
Clarke's coming to live with
them at the KeithMiller home,
of increasing doubt as to Clarke's
trustworthiness and finally, on
the wild-goose flight which Ian
caster took tc Texas and the
Pacific Coast, of his learning
from a mutual friend that Clarke
apparently had taken his place
in Chubbies heart.
Mental Agony! He'll" reads
Lancasters entry in his diary
that night in Los Angeles. The
date was April 2.
Lancaster wrote:
Russell shows me two of
Mrs. RS letters. One says
'Chubbie and Clarke came
around tonight. They were all
ginned up. I really think now
that Clarke has gained Club
bie's affections and Bill Ian
caster lost them The other
letter said: Was round at
Chubbie's tonight. She and
Clarke got all ginned up to-
gether. Don't tell Bill
Mental agony!! :! He'll"
Other excerpts show Lancas-
ter's increasing anxiety. Money
was lacking for the trip back
to Miami. The business scheme
which brought him West had
collapsed. In his diary, he wrote:
why no wire from Chubbie?"
"a a. m. Have been trying
to telephone Chubbie. No re-
ply. Why?"
Ill with nervous worry"
"Chubbie, how are yOu?. -"
"Chubbie, darling, what is it
all abOut? ."
WORRIED BY REPLY
wired Chubbie. The reply
worries me. If only she would
send something nice, such as:
Don't worry; 1 still love you"
Thank goodness for one
thing-I have made a firm
resolution to end all this men
