Nationwide discussion.
Drewry said he based his predic.
tions on canvass he has made of
political situations in the 322 districts
now represented by Democrats in the
House.
There Is q little trouble here and
there" Drewry said, but on the
whole, the reports are good. Un-
doubtedly. Mr.. Roosevelt will be re-
nominated by the Democrats and re-
elected. A Democratic controlled
Congress also will be elected.

Democrats will pick up enough in Re-

One purpose of the Republican
gathering in Kansas City is to draft
a program that will have the support

A Roosevelt victory in 1886 was
predicted yesterday by Representative
Drewry of Virginia, chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, despite renewed Republi-
can activity and third party threats.
Drewry, who succeeded Speaker
Byrns as head of the Campaign Com
mittee, not only forecast the re-elec-

of an overwhelmingly" Democratic
Congress next year.

R.F. c. AND DAWES
ACCUSED IN SUIT
Stockholders Charge "I|IegaI
Practices" in Handling
U. S. Loan.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March discharges OF
'illegal practices and juggling of ac-
counts" were leveled today against
the Reconstruction Finance Corp, for
mer Vice President Charles G. Dawes
and other ectors of the Old Gen.
trail Republic Trust Co.
The allegations were set forth in
q bill, filed in behalf of four stock
holders of the bank, replying to a
suit instituted recently by the r. F. c.
in Federal Court to collect 10000, 900
of an 500, 1000 900 loan made to the old
dawes" bank.
The cross bill, filed late yesterday,
alleged that Dawes, the other direc-
tors and the r. F. c. acted lin con-
cert" to divert assets of the Central
Republic to the recently organized
City National Bank & Trust Co. to
the detriment of the Central Re-
public's creditors and stockholders.
At least part of S50,000000 loan,
authorized by the r. F.. c. in October,
1882, the bill says, was never paid
to the Central Republic but was
handed over to the new institution
which took over the deposit liabilities
OF the old bank. A proper accounting
of credits will show, the bill alleges
that the Central Republics actual
obligation to the R. F. C. has been
discharged. A $30,000,0O0 loan to the
bank previously had been authorized
in June, 1882.
Dawes, vacationing in Arizona, could
not be reached for comment, nor
could the Chicago officials of the r.
F. c. Those named as defendants in
the cross bill were the City National
Bank & Trust Co., Dawes, former
chairman of the old bank; Philip r.
Clarke, president of the old bank;
Henry M. Dawes, George B. Dryden,
George F. Getz, John Goodridge, Harry
B. Hurd. James S. Kemper, T. W.

After the planes had left, the
people began pouring back into

The people were remarkably
stoical and proclaimed they would
have no fear of the planes here

for fearing TO come afoot. Anti
foreign feeling was high but ap-

Thousands of rounds were fired

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
SOUEAKIE'S PRESENT
Copyright 1885
by Mcclure
Syndicate

Once upon a time there was a
little mouse girl named Squeakie.
Her other name was Eekie, SO that
her whole name was Squeakie
Eekie, but all her friends, among
whom Uncle Wiggily was one,
called her Squeakie. So I shall do
the same and you may also.
Squeakie was a cousin mouse
That is, she was the cousin of Jol-
lie and Jillie, the mice children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Longtail, and she
lived with the Longtail family For
Squeakie, like Baby Bunty, was an
orphan. Only Squeakie was an or
phan mouse and Baby Runty was
an orphan rabbit.
Squeakie was as fond of Mr.
Longtail as if he had been her own
daddy mouse and Mr. LongtaIl
loved Squeakie and was very kind
to her after father and mother
were caught in a mouse trap out of
which they had tried to get some
cheese to eat.
It's too bad we mice are so fond
of cheese. especially old, toasted
cheese" Mr. Longtaii often said
when he looked at Cousin Squeakie
and thought of what had happened
to her father and mother. "Still,
we can't help it. Oh, how l love
cheese! But I hope I don't try to
get any out Of trap
Saved for Christmas
When Squeakie heard her uncle
say how fond he was of cheese she
knew her Christmas shopping trou-
bles were over. Ever since Decem-
Der began Squeakie, the cousin
mouse, had tried to think of some
thing she might buy to give her
uncle as Christmas present.
Squeakie had been saving up her
pennies.
III buy uncle oscar some
cheese" decided Squeakie. Mr..
Longtails name was oscar, as I've
told you before.
So, deciding to do her Christmas
shopping early and thus. keep her
tail from getting curly by having it
twisted in crowds of late Christmas
shoppers, Squeakie took her saved
pennies and set out to buy a Christ
mas cheese for Uncle Oscar. She
crept into a cheese store.
"Old toasted cheese is it, my lit
tie mouse grip" asked the old rat
gentleman who kept the store.
"We1l have plenty of cheeses but
they're all fresh and new and none
toasted. You could buy your uncle
a new cheese for Christmas and he
could toast IT,"

NAMING DAM
AFTER ROSE
PROPOSED
Continued from Page u

Continued from Page u
Roosevelt, President of the United
States:
We, the undersigned citizens, res
pectfully request that you issue the
necessary orders to insure the
naming of the diversion dam for
the All American Canal on the
Colorado River
ROSE IMPERIAL DAM
for the following reasons:
Over 25 years ago, Mark Rose,
a pioneer farmer of the Imperial
Valley, conceived the idea of an
"All American Canal, and has
urged the construction of this
great humanitarian project, both in
his home community and in Wash
ington, and through his persistent,
forceful and intelligent leadership,
and in spite Of seemingly insur-
mountable obstacles, has at last
seen the elimination of his dream,
dream of the people of the I'M
perial Valley, made possible through
your approval Of ALLEGATION of funds
for the building of that Great
Canal. Mark Rose justly has been
called the Father of the All Amer
ican Canal. We believe that appre-
citation for the life work and SER
vice of this man should be given,
and we, the citizens of this COM
munity, respectfully request that
you name this diversion dam, "Rose
Imperial Dam"
The word Imperial" in an ap-
propriate partial name for this
dam, that will divert the waters
to reach the Imperial Valley wholly
along a line within the United
States. 1t is primarily for the pur-
pose of giving Imperial Valley
water supply which does not go
into foreign country before reach
ing our homes and farms, that this
great project was conceived and
finally made possible by your act
in approving ALLEGATION of funds
for construction.

The French propose additionally to
give Italy a strip of southern Ethi-

about 10 miles below Adds Ababa
to British Kenya.
These points fall far short of
all previous understandings of II
Duce's minimum conditions of
peace. Italy is believed holding
out for:
l. A strip of northern Ethiopia
drawn above Il line extending be-
tween the Setit river westward to
Eritrea. This includes Aksum, Adj

wa is important to the Italians
for historical reasons as it avenges
the slaughter of their army there

when Squeakie was creeping home

But now that I've bought it I'm
