Gets Drunk ON Paint,

That man can get drunk on the
fumes Of fresh paint, and not "red
paint" at that, is the ruling of Lon
don magistrate. A taxi driver charged
with being under the influence of drink
while driving put in the defense that he
had been affected by fumes from the
fresh paint on his vehicle. A doctor
told the court that there could not be
sufficient concentration Of alcohol in the
paint to make man drunk. The driver
admitted to one glass of beer and
small whisky, but declared that what
disarranged his faculties was the paint,
and the court dismissed the charge.

Your Excellency:
We are admiring to the accident

We have ordered as a trial about
40 pcands for variable shoe assortments

In your proud country, but unfortu-
nately We see too late that the cata-
logs are for girl and women wearing
shoeS and not for men and the thing
which affects our mind Is the features
and designs that were look like men
wearing shoes. We are anxious to let
you know the case by the lncloSed copy
OF their letter in order to stand on the
actual fact. We call you to the fact
mat We are still annoyed in this re-

We are still in enormous mail from

Site of another indianapolis
landmark, the old Herman Lieber
homestead, at the southwest corner
Of Michigan and Alabama streets,

Work of razing the house has been
started, following leasing Of the site
by the Lieber heirs to the Phillips
Petroleum Company.
The building was erected by Mrs
Barbara w. Heitkam, and was pur-
chased by Mr.. Lieber in 1883.
Until twenty years ago, when ii
became a rooming house, it was the
scene Of social, political and artistic
activities.

SIS RECRUITS TO
BONUS BRIGADE
STRANDED HERE
Trip to Washington Halted
When Trainmen Refuse
Them Help.

Sixty-five bonus army recruits are
stranded today at Emerson avenue
and Prospect street, their trip to
Washington halted by inability to
obtain transportation.
There was no breakfast for the
men this morning, and they are
awaiting results of efforts by their
commander, Robert George, Terre
.Haute, to obtain help.
The men are from Decatur and
Danville, Ill, and Terre Haute
They arrived Wednesday night on
Big Four freight train, but the
trip was halted when railroad police
refused to permit them to board
east-bound freight trains.
George came to police headquar-
tiers seeking aid. Capt. Otto Pet
tit told him police can do nothing
we have breakfast waiting for us
in Columbus and Cincinnati, so il
won't make any difference which
route we taken out of here" George
said. Petit did not respond to the
hint that breakfast here would be in
order, and George left to seek help
elsewhere.

the best type of action on necessary
legislation for tax relief, equaliza-
ton of the burden, and unemploy-
ment and business aid.
Proportionately, the Democratic
members of the house suffered more
than the other party or the senate
colleagues.
In the 1881 session, the Demo-
Gratis had rs of the zoe members OF
the house of representatives. Since
that time one member, Russell j.
Dean. indianapolis, has resigned;
and two have died, Lew S. Core OF
Elnora and Erasmus T. Sage OF
Jeffersonville, all Democrats. ThA'
cut the number Of that party to
seventy-two.
Sixteen were defeated for renomi-
nation and twenty-five were not
candidates in the May primary
But six of that latter group sought
senatorial nominations, and part
were victorious.
The house Republicans started
with twenty-five and one was not a
candidate, while eight we're de-
feated for denomination, leaving
only sixteen remaining who again
are candidates.
Out of ninety-Seven members OF
the house, the total number taking
an active interest in the work of the
special session because of the bear
ing it will have upon their own
political fortunes in the November
election is only forty-seven.
The same condition prevails ap-
parently in the senate, where the
Republican majority has sustained
the severest drain. Of this group OF
twenty-nine Republicans, six were
defeated and ten not candidates
while the Democratic minority of
twenty-one sustained only one de-
feat and two designations.
Death of two representatives and
resignation of one member of the
house and two of the senate has
caused an unusual condition.
n
There are many legislators who
assert that the counties from which
these assemblymen came are left
without representation and the Con-
stitution provides that they must
have spokesman.
The designations and deaths were
known to Governor Harry G. Leslie
before he issued call and coinci-
dent with that proclamation there
should have been one calling for
special elections, they tell me.
1t is asserted that a death during
the session is an accident and there
fore no provisions need be made to
fill the vacancy Immediately, but in
the case of Erasmus Sage and Lew
Core, as well as the designations, the
vacancies must be filled.
When Representative George
Saunders of Bluffton died on the
opening day of the 1881 session,
Governor Leslie issued call for a
special election and similar action
should have been taken thirty days
ago, they tell me.
1t is a peculiar question and may
bob up during the next few weeks.

Train Tickets Due
BIZ United Press

~ CHtted Press
WASHINGTON, July Bonus
army veterans continued to ask fo1
meal tickets today, while the gov
eminent prepared to give them
train tickets.
The house was expected to adopt
a senate resolution providing $780,
600 for train fare, and thus putting
up to the army's $4,000 men the
choice of returning whence they came
or prolonging their siege of con-
greSs that ignored their bonus de-
mands.
President Hoover recommended
the appropriation in a letter to
Speaker John N. Garner and the
resolution was reported favorably by
the house ways and means COM
mittee.
The money would be loan
charged against the adjusted Serv-
ice certificates, on which the vete-
rams want immediate and full pay
ment.
Walter w. Waters, commander
in-chief of the army, discouraged
acceptance of the proposition, and
declared his belief that few vet
Grams would leave.
THE majority of these men have
no homes" Waters said. $50 what
would they want to go home for?
There is bitterness in their hearts,
and if they return they will spread
bitterness, and breed it in others.
We are here, and we ought to stay
until we get the bonus. But we've
got to eat"
Waters took a new lease on his
leadership by flying to New York,
securing food and $1,700 cash, and
returning just in time to disorgan-
ize opposition to him. The $1,700
will buy two days food for the
army.
He also Humankind his general
ship by introducing his wife to the
men and quartering her in his
uncomfortable tent on the
Anacostia flats. She arrived from
oregon by bus.
Mrs. Waters, mother of two
daughter, age and 5, is slim, fair
skinned and blond.
"I am accused of being die
tator," Waters said. well, here is
my dictator, my wife"

Foreign Goods on the Variety Stage.
Manchester Guardian.)

Trouble is said to be brewing on the variety Istage-the Ministry of Labor is determined to pro-
 tect British performers against foreign competitors and the entertainments industry (which pre- isumably means the owners and managers) is alarmed lat the possibility that quite hreplaceabe artists from other lands may be removed from musc-hall programs But the Ministry is not alarmed; it has la standard and it intends to keep to it. According Ito report it's intention is to exclude all foreign performers except those of exceptional talent- which does not satisfy the musc-hall magnates, lsnce they doubt the ability of Whitehall to decide
 what is exceptional talent" for the purposes Of highly organized trade and pretty critical audience It ought, however, to satisfy one branch of the entertainments ndustry--if revue writers do not Heap at the notion of civil servants putting Ger man juggler through his paces or the Minister himself nquring into the capabilities of pair of American back chat" comedians, then the day of inspiration must indeed be over. Wherever else exceptional talent" may reside, even the ability to grasp an exceptional opportunity will have de- serted drafters of satircal comedy In actual practice presumably the new censors will be guided
 by the size of the reputation and salary rather than
 the dscovsrable talents of the intending performer
 But it must be admitted tha tthey have found a sngularly difficult sphere in which to apply the
 Buy British" proposition for in all countries the
 promoters of popular entertainments tend to borrow freely from the resources of other lands for ex-
 ample, the reputation of English juggers acrobats
 and circus performers is deservedly high on the Continent where such performers are frequently engaged. At the present time the plight of the English musicians offers the hardest case among
 our native performers American jazz bands may
 have contributed something to their difficulties
 but the "tnned music of the sound films has been their real enemy-and neither the Ministry 1 of Labor the music-hall managers can keeE
 that out of the country.

REPUBLICAN LEADER SEES THE
 LIGHT

That reverses every so often good for political party is being demonstrated once in while in the present session of Congress One Of the marked instances was disclosed the other day when Representative John c. Tilson of Connecticut, Re publican floor leader in the House during the Long, worth occupancy of the Speakers chair, brought in a resolution for the submission of an amendment to the Constitution that would transfer the control of the liquor question from the Federal Govern ment to the States, allowing each State to decide and act for itself.
 MT. Tlson's action has it's roots set firmly ir the principles of Jefferson the great founder Of the Democratic Party and true expounder of real Am ericanis1n The noble experiment" is not and never was based Democratic principles, even if it has received the support of lot of Southern Demo- cratic Senators and Representatives Speaker Garner then an ordinary Representative from Texas, told Congress that when the Eighteenth Amendment was before it for consideration and he voted against submitting the proposition President Wilson sensed it and he vetoed every Prohibition that ever came before him. The great men of both parties knew it and they know it Its passage was simply the result of catering to expediency by those who wanted to win elections and gain through their dry votes the organized vote of the Anti-Saloon League and it's allies.
 The opponents of high handed. un-American Prohibition have so consistently and effectively pre- sented the Jeffersonian principle of State rights and individual liberty that former drys have seen the light ceased to be led by fanatics and reented
 Give MT Tilson credit for switching from party edicts based upon expedency and coming into the open It is not at all certain that the Republican Party will not follow MT Tilson, the exeader, and vote as it believes. If it does that it will not be dry.

WILL CONSIDER PACIFIC TRADE
 AREA.

Can America find a way out of her present economic depression by developing what Hawaiis former Gov. w. R. Harrington called the world largest potential market-the Pacific area?
 This question will furnish the basis of much discussion at the three-day meeting of the Ma tional Foreign Trade Council to be held in Honolulu May 4 5 and G. 1892, under the chairmanship of James A. Farrell President of the United States Steel Corporation.
 "The chief aim of the convention will be to conduct a round table discussion among represen- tatives of all the countries of the Pacific in order to develop their points of view to ways of expanding their trade with our country This statement was made by Oscar King Davis Execu- tive Secretary of the National Foreign Trade Coun- cil, during his recent visit to Honolulu to confer with business leaders there on plans for the com ing convention.
 The convention is being held jointly with that of the Pacific Foreign Trade Council
 Leaders in Pacific foreign trade estimate the number of potential buyers in the Pacific area at billion.
 The National Foreign Trade Council is a non- merchants, manufacturers, railroad and steamship men, and bankers representing all sections of the United States, and collectively standing for the general interest of all clements engaged foreign trade. had its inception the National Foreign Trade Convention at Washington May 27, 28, 1914 when the need was recognized for an organization which should endeavor to coordinate the foreign trade activities of the nation The creation of the National Foreign Trade Council was authorized fol that purpose. ts6
