They Expect Their Abuse , of Roosevelt to Draw
 z Many Democrats

- Springfield, H., June 12.-CUP) @-The move for national political party realignment along so-called liberal and conservative lines gained impetus to-day from the grass roots conference of prairie Republicans which charged that President Roosevelt sought to an- nul the constitution. A political shakeup has been in the making since progressive republicans began to defy the Harding Coolidge Hoover administrations. That slnovement climaxed in the bolt of Powerful farm belt republicans from the 1892 Hoover candidacy. ~ Since March 4, 1883, when President Roosevelt announced and Refined the New Deal, group of democrats has been moving stead fly away from the administration. Democrats Invited

He named Glass, former Gov. Ely of Massachusetts, former Isov. Alfred E. Smith of New York and former Gov. William (Alfalfa 8ill) Murray of Oklahoma. The Bi-partisan enthusiasm became so Strong that republicans found they could applaud the Smith campaign Bong of 192S-"The Sidewalks of New York"

 Jungle Was Prize
 Thus will end a war for possess sion of the rich, wild Gran Chaco jungle in which 125,00O men have been killed or wounded.
 Paraguay claims to hold 112,000 square miles of the territory. of which 71,500 have been won by conquest.
 Bloody as the war has been be- tween two countries with proud military tradition, it is but an in- cident compared to the war of 18S5-1870 in which Paraguay lost five-sixths of its population in fighting Brazil, Uruguay and Ar gentino all militarily superior combined.
 At the beginning of the war Par aguay's population was 1,337,439. At the end it was 221,079-2S,746 men, 106,254 women above 15, and SCOTS children. Toward the end there were whole regiments of boys between 12 and 15 and wo- men, used to carry munitions and supplies when there were no more horses and mules, were left per- force to die along roads or were shot to prevent their capture.

building branch. There is a need for five million new homes and for repairs to 16 million, the speaker said, which would provide work for every one in the building trad es for the next 10 years.
 The speakers answered several questions put to them by members of the audience. In answer to a question by Attorney Herman J. Weisman as to whether the Crusa- ders would go into a district to op- pose candidate for office who was advocating policies against those of the Crusaders, the answer was in the affirmative. MT. Rogers also rose, as he said, to set right a wrong impression that the Cru sader's were opposed to the sold iers' bonus. We are not opposed to the bonus." MT. Rogers said, "But we were opposed to the method of paying it by the issu- ance of greenbacks. We are op- posed to all forms of imitation and the plan proposed for paying the soldiers bonus was highly inflat- ional."
 Other questions dealing with the membership of the Crusaders brought the reply that the organi- zation now has about half mill lion enrolled. It is the plan. the speakers said, to have the New England branch have a board of directors, composed of two mem- bers from each of the ten cities. There are no dues or assessments but voluntary contributions are ac- cepted.

Duggan will be held responsible for everything that goes on in the motor patrol, but he warned the patrol car drivers that it would do them no good to try to "pass the buck" Sergt. Dug gan made it plain that the patrol car drivers and their aides will be kept right at the line from now on, with no excuses accepted and no "shennanigans" overlooked.
 The men received broad hints that there were a lot of others in the department who envied the cruiser group and would be only too glad of the chance to sit be- hind the wheel of one of the ten new coupes which the city bought for the police a few weeks ago.

 He advised the graduates that when they mingled at home and abroad, to foster feeling of mu- tual friendship, to discourage sus- picion, to teach respect for the rights of others to decry aggres- sion and to oppose intolerance.

 "Yet with specialization" he continued, it is essential that those who enter upon pro- fession, civilian or military, must eternally keep before their eyes the practical relationship of their own profession to the rights. the hopes and the needs of the whole body of citizens who make up the nation.'
 "One of the most difficult tasks of government today, is to avoid the aggrandizement of any one group and to keep the main objec- tive of the general good clear and unimpaired."

 Charges Are Made
 Tocoma, Wash, June 12 = (UP) William Grant, Harmon Waley and Margaret Waley, named by the Department of Justice as the kid napers of nine-year-old George Weyerhaeuser, were charged today with violating the Lindbergh kid- naping law.
 Complaints alleging that the trio had taken the son of a Ta- coma millionaire out of the state of Washington into Idaho were made by federal agents before the U. s. commissioner here.
 The new warrants, supplementing those in which Grant, alias Ma han, and the Valleys were ac- cused of conspiracy to use the mails to defraud and Mahan with sending extortion notes through the mails, revealed for the first time that George had been con- fined in Spirit Lake, Ida. and Blanchard, Ida, during the eight days he was held captive.
 The towns are northeast of Spokane, where the federal man. hunters two days ago found the two-gabled house in which he spent most of the time in custody of his abductors and from which he was released after his father, John Philip Weyerhaeuser, had paid $2O0,000 ransom, June l.
 Death Penalty Waiting
 Salt Lake City, June 12--(UP) Federal agents prepared today to transport Harmon M. Waley and his wife, Margaret, to Tacoma. Wash, where they face the death penalty under state law for their part in the Kidnapping of George Weyerhaeuser.
 Charges of violating the Lind berg law were filed against Waley, his wife, and Mahan yesterday, but this action was described as precautionary. The time of their departure for Tacoma was carefully guarded.
 Federal agents believed Waley told the truth when he confessed that he and Mahan perpetrated the Kidnapping alone and split the $200.- 900 equally. Waley said he re- ceived $95,000, being short changed s5,0O0 by his partner. He burned $4.000 because he thought 1t too ''hot"; his wife passed $30e; $9O.70O was buried in the desert near here and was recovered by federal agents.

the men are caught at what ap- pears to be ''ioafing.'
 Policemen, motor patrolmen and otherwise, wouldn't say 8 word to- day about what went on the spec ial meeting yesterday. But even at long distances, it could be pre- ceived that at least one or two motor patrolmen were red about the neck. It could have been either embarrassment or anger. But if the motor patrolmen don't all hereafter hew to the line. in all probability therell be no "secret" meeting again. Instead beats in, the outskirts of the city will be patrolled on foot by men who are much more used to riding than walking.

 London, June 12.-(UP). king Georges illness will mean partial iaraysis of the present brilliant social season, running jointly with the jubilee celebrations. and will cost theaters, motion picture houses and shops ten of thousands of dol- lars in revenue.
 A serious development would run the losses into millions.
 Many persons have insured themselves against loss by such a thing as the kings illness during the jubilee celebration. and the aters always carry insurance against any illness of royalty.
 It was recalled that the British Woolworth stores bought up a huge amount of scrap metal, in- tending to cast special jubilee meGe,s, but'abandoned the idea for fear that the king might fall i'll.

Ups and Downs In The Life Of a Tree Tabby

This is the story of a tree climbing cat, who is also tree descending cat, a tale that is full of ups and downs
 Tho Democrats fire report er's phone rang this morning and mans voice told him from the other end of the wire: "Thcre's cat down OF South Main street, InarOOncd way up in n tree. thought you might like to know"
 The reporter pondcred. He neglected entirely any idea that he might go climbing n tree to save n cat. He toycd with the idea of sending in a fire alarm but decided against that on the grounds 1t would cause too much commOtipn. Finally, the. reporter called Fire Marshal Den Lahey and told him of the cats plight.
 The marshal looked through the rule books but couldn't find anything to cover a case of a stranded cut. 'I'lI tell you what I'll dO," he said, "I'lI send down our best climber. That's Gene Legge of my staff."
 So, to q tree near 725 South Main street, Private Legge hied himself. He craped his neck, looked up and there was the cat, 75 feet above the ground Gene thought that the cat looked pretty well sat isiicd for n stranded animal, but made ready to climb the tree. Just then n man came out of nn adjoining house. "That cat," he said, "has been climbing up and down that tree yesterday and today. He's not standed; he's looking for birds"
 "Oh," said Gene, and report- cd to the fire marshal.
 "Oh," said the fire marshal and called the reporter.
 'Oh," said the reporter.
 Tho man who first called in could not be reached, but 1t is presumed that he, too, on on hearing tho story, would say, "Oh."

 TWICE IN COURT
Wife Gets Decree, Plain- tiff, $2,5z5 on
 Note

August obernier of this city re- ceived a double dose of bad news to-day. The news came in the form of two decisions from Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan in superior court where Mir Obernier has beeu a principal in two cases.
 The first decision grants a d. vorce decree to MT Obernier's wife on grounds of cruelty and di- rects the husband to pay $4 week. ly alimony. The second blow came to Mir Obernier when Judge O'Sullivan directed judgment to pc entered in the amount of $2,525 in favor of Adam Husben in his note suit against Obernier. There is some balm in the latter decision, however for the note judgment is against both Obernier and h:s wife.
 Obernier contested the divorce action. The testimony showed Obernier and his wife married Jan 9 1908. Custody of the children is given Mrs Obernier with rea- sonable visitation granted the de- fendant.
