ling table waters are now
stingy little half a buck a split
in this hotel, but largely because
so far nobody has asked for
water, and the first bird I ran
into as I entered the Congress
Hotel, just two blocks up
Michigan Boulevard, was a tall
and seemingly important Demo
crat from the great State of
New York.
He was trying to pull out a
handkerchief to stop a good
Democratic sneeze, but he
couldn't get his arm and hand
to the upper handkerchief pocket
in time. Readers, he exploded.
His right arm was wedged
against Deacon Will Hays, and
on his left arm were 1895 other

Why If 1t Isn't
Tall Democrat" hagan,
"aren't you none other than the
Democratic State chairman and
Roosevelt manager, Honorable
James Farley? Chairman Far
ley, why"
n to you"
"ThankS. Jim, your man
Roosevelt is going to be nOmi-
mated on the first ballot, huh?"
"Serteny."
"Then just what are we plain
citizens to do on election day
next November, Chairman Far
ley?"
81 repeat, the name is Jim.
But explain"
JUST A SINGLE QUESTION
Gust this, Jimmie. If, as
you say, your gent, Roosevelt,
is nominated, we plain voters
have nothing ahead of us next
election day but to vote for a
couple of HOOverS, huh? So,
Jim, unless you can show me
som fundamental difference
between this Hoover and your
Roosevelt, I'm going to vote
fOr-and may my poor old
Democratic father, dead now
, 30 years, whirl around in his
grave in Calvary Cemetery-I,
I say, am going to vote for
Norman ThOm-"
''HuSh," interrupted Jim Far
ley. "Start your question
again"
Gust this, Jim. And on
your honest answer means
what may turn out to be the
deciding vote for your candi-
date, Mr., Mr."
Roosevelt"
"That'S the guy. Roosevelt.
Well, here's the question, and
anything You answer will be
used against you. Now, listen.
What's the difference, funda-
mentally, between Hoover and
ROOSEVELT"
1 felt I had Jim there. AS I
asked the question I could pic
ture the great New York states
man-Democratic State chairman
and co-everything-pulling the
shade and then pacing the room
while he thought out a diplo-
matte answer. But no. Instantly
he answered.
I'm glad you stuck in that
word fundamentally" said
Jim pausing only to telephone
to Groom service" for a cork
screw, as he wanted to open a
bottle of patented salad dress
ing. Fundamental described the
difference between this-what
was the name?"
"HOOver."
"HOOver. That's the man 1
had in mind. Now ask me the
question again."
SLIGHT DIFFERENCE
"All right, Jim. What's the
fundamental difference between
President Hoover and your man
ROOSEVELT"
Easy" said Jim opening the
salad dressing. "The funda-
mental difference is that Frank
lin Roosevelt unlike Mr..
Hoover, is going to be the next
President of the United States.
And close the door on your way
out"
And all said on nothing but
salad dressing.

Chevrolet Price Reductions

Chevrolet price reductions ranging
up to fifty-five dollars have been
announced by w, S. Knudsen, pres
ldent and general manager of the
Chevrolet Motor Company.
At the same time Mr.. Knudse
stated that the Chevrolet Six would
continue to be built exclusively by
the company for an indefinite period,
and at no time has there been
drought of changing the present

fifteen months and brought the com
pany its highest PERCENTAGE of total
business Chevrolet has ever enjoyed.
The price reductions affect four
teen passenger car models. Base
price for the passenger car line is
now $445 for the roadster, lowest
priced model.
Mr.. Knudsen pointed out that the
announcement, which came on the
eve OF the opening of the National
Exhibit of General Motors products,
at SIS leading cities beginning April 2,
served to aroused renewed interest
in motor cars, and that the cumula-
tive effect of developments now
under way in the industry should be
a major factor in stimulating the
automobile, which admittedly is the
key to American business recovery.
Reduced prices on individual
models, all f. o. b. Flint, Mich, as
announced by Mr.. Knudsen, are as
follows:-Roadster, $445; Coach,
$495; Sport Roadster, 485; De Luxe

The reduction took effect April 1,
Mr.. Knudsen said, and all dealers

ate delivery of all models at the
new low reduced price scale.

Lydia's Monarch Second

arice. He reigned from B. z. 56O to
546, but dissipated, and yielding him
self up to sumptu0us extravaganza
and the pleasures of life, declared
that he was the unhappiest man in the
world. Welcoming the Greeks to his
court, he was visited by the great
Athenian lawgiver Scion, of whom he
asked the question, "Who was the
happiest man in the world that he had
SEEM" to receive in reply, mo man
should be called happy until his

Persian king. CrOesus was defeated,
his capital Sardis taken, and he was
condemned to death by burning. AS
he stood awaiting the firing of the
pyre, he recalled Solon's aphorism,
and exclaiming 20 Scion y three
times, aroused the curiosity of Cyrus
who. inquiring into the reason for the
calculations, was told the story or
Solon's precept, and spared his life.

INCOME TAX COUNT
BY OFFICIALS BEGUN
March Is Payments Are Ex-
pected to Fall as Low as
$3.50, 900, 900.

Internal revenue collectors through
out the country were busy today count
ing first quarter payments on 1881 in
comes, with expectations the total rev.
enue might be only one-third of normal
and the number of taxpayers reduced
by at least 100000.
The deadline on returns was midnight
last night, but as many checks are
placed in the mails at the last minute,
it is expected to take considerable time
before accurate reports may be had
from regional offices.
In the Washington regional office,
Twelfth street and Constitution avenue,
though the office was open from
night. On the day before, when the
Office was only open until 5 o'clock,
$500 taxpayers filed returns.
A preliminary estimate by officials
indicated today that returns this year
might not reach the 81 ,000, ,000, 900 mark
or the lowest revenue from this source
in the past dozen years or more. At
that rate, yesterdays payments would
aggregate only about $3.50, 1000, 900, as
compared with previous first-quarter
collections averaging $500 900, 900.
March Is payments usually constitute
the heaviest collection Of the year be-
cause a great number of small returns
are paid in full instead of in four in
stallments.

STARVATION CITED
(. BY ONLY ONE STATE
Bingham Says Pennsylvania
Alone Reports Condition
Is Widespread.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Bingham, Republican, Of
Connecticut. said today that of 43 re-
plies received from kilograms sent to
the Governors Of the States asking sta
tistics on distress and unemployment
only one-that of Gov. Clifford Pinchot
of PennsyNania-stated that starva-
tior exists.
The number Of unemployed in the
country was estimated by Bingham, on
the basis Of his returns, at 5000, 900.
He explained that he telegraphed all
the Governors on the day after the
House passed the Democratic emer-
gency unemployment highway con-
struction bill to determine the facts in
the face Of statements he said had been
made on the Senate floor that 10000
600 are unemployed and millions are
starving.
VIII Fight Proposal.
He expects to use the material in op-
posing the highways bill, which has vet
to pass the Senate.
Bingham has proposed an amend
ment for distributing highway funds on
the basis Of population, but even If this
should be adopted he would vote against
the bill, saying the cost is too great.
The Pinchot telegram said:
"At least 100000 people are unem-
ployed in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia
gives $4.38 per family per week for re-
lief. That is practically starvation. Re-
lief given in many other places is far
less.
'Underfed children have increased 80
per cent in Pennsylvania schools in one
year. Suffering in the coal regions,
east and west, Is especially severe.
I'VE know starvation is widespread
but no one has enumerated the starving.

vania wage earners billion dollars a

ate to give relief to suffering people

Among the other kilograms made
public by Senator Bingham in his state
ment to newspapermen included one
from Gov Albert @. Ritchie of Mary
land, as follows:
VI do not know where you get the
idea that anybody Is starving in this
State. No such condition as that

Confirmation of Judge James H. Will
kerson of Chicago as Circuit Court
Judge was asked Of the Senate today
by Frank ]. Loesch, president of the
Chicago Crime Commission, and Robert
Isham Randolph, chairman of the Sc
cret Six to free the judiciary Of in
timidation by gangsters.
Chicagos two anti-crime leaders
said vote against the promotion of
Wilkerson, who sentenced AL Capone,
would be interpreted as "a vote for the
triumph of the gangsters."
Loesch and Randolph submitted their
views in a resolution presented to
Chairman Borah of the judiciary sub
committee considering Wilkersons nom
ination.
They said wilkerson,s confirmation
was desirable not only because he is
IAN able, fair, honest and fearless
Judge" but also because IL organized
criminals attempt to influence the Sen
ate to refuse to confirm the appoint
ment of an able and fearless Judge,
then no Judge is free from intimidation
and the Federal bench Is on notice
that influence, not justice, Is the chief
consideration in the administration of
the law"
Judge Wilkerson exhibited coura-
geous action" Loesch and Randolph
said, "in sending the notorious Al Ca
pone, Terry Druggan, Frankie Lake and
other nationally known public enemies
to Federal prisons. As result OF this
situation there is a definite public opin-
ion that ganglano, Under cover, Is op-
posing his confirmation by the Senate"

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 1.-two Chicago
attorneys said today they were kidnapped
before the Danville, Ill, court house,
confined in a hall used by the American
Legion and beaten and ordered out of
town after they aided the defense Of
II alleged Communists convicted of un-
lawful assembly.
The attorneys were Albert Goldman,
counsel for the Communist Party Of
America, and Joseph B. Lotion, repre-
sentative of the Chicago branch of the
Civil Liberties Union. Goldman during
the trial yesterday accused the Legion
of inStigating the arrest Of the IL sew
eral days ago after a demonstration and
their prosecution.
The Chicago Tribune said Legion
representatives at Danville admitted
"escorting" the two lawyers out of the
city, but denied they had been roughly
treated. "All we did" one Legionnaire
said, was tell them to drive north and
keep on going" The attorneys said
they would file charges against their
alleged assailants.
