Appeal Tested
First Of IT, e, which will prob
ably be heard Tuesday morning, Is
the appeal from the judgment In
favor C. the defendant, which was
handed down by city court, IN the
case Of Peter Tomasaitis against
Peter and Gladys Bilier Of Bantam
Lake, Litchfiel1. In the suit, To.
masaitis claims unpaid wages
amounting TO $240.75, in naming the
Billers defendants for $3.50. In a
special defense supplied by the de-
PENDANTS, they claim Eney have paid
off the claims, by way Of goods,
services or cash. When the case
was heard in city court, in Deem
Der, 1895, judgment was entered for
the defendant and the appeal was
taken. Attorney William X. Lawlor
represents the plaintiff, with Attor-
ney John T. Monzani for the de-
Tense.
Injuries Alleged
The second OF the three remain
ing cases awaiting jury trial Is the
$4,000 civil action Of Lucy M.
Menchise against Frank Antczak,
doing business as the Gold Front
Market at 825 North Main street.
Injuries resulting from fall In the

The suit alleges that at 10 a. m,
August IS, 1885, the plaintiff en-
tered the store TO make q purchase,

tate a general election, on the ques-
ton Of the kings marriage.
But the government, the united
political parties and the Church Of
England were ready, too, however
reluctantly, for a fight and insisted
that they never would give In.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
was believed to have warned the
king that the odds against him
were hopeless and that he could not
win, with Churchill or any other
champion he might draw.
There was clamor for word
from the king and there were re-
ports that he either would make q
public statement during the week
end or would send message to par
Lament Monday--his final word.
Churchill May Start It
Churchill was expected, however,
to fire the opening shot with O
statement, probably today, to his
constituents, In the Epping division
OF the parliamentary district of Els.
sex county.
The situation has changed kali
eidoscopically In the last 40 hours
and may well change again. The
king had recohciled himself to abb
dication when Churchill went to his
support. Then the king decided to
fight.
But opponents to his marriage
had gone too far to withdraw and
there seemed no course open to them
but to fight to finish.
Baldwin's hopes centered on weak
ening the king. trying to get him
II not to abandon Mrs. Simpson to
delay any final decision on mar
rying her.
Is King Breaking?
There were strong reports that
Baldwin might win, that the king,
alone entirely now that Mrs. Simp-
son had gone, was breaking.
Terrible pressure has been exerted
on him. With Mrs. Simpson gone
and likely to be gone for months,
whether he Joins her or not,--every
appeal has been made to him.
He has been urged not to desert
his country and his empire for a
woman and the fulhllment OF his
own love. He has been told that II
he marries Mrs. Simpson that his
mother, broken Queen Mary. sobbing
over the wreck Of her hopes, will 90
into retirement forever, that most
OF the other members Of the family
will go abroad rather than bend the
knee to the twice divorced woman
who would be their queen.
The real fear has been pointed
out to him that his abdication over
a woman would so weaken the
British crown and the prestige OF
Great Britain that the peace of
Europe might be endangered. There
are many here who feel that II this
emergency is not soon ended, some
leader on the ontinent--Adolf Hit
Ter, Benito Mussolini-- might start O
reckless adventure that would bring
war.

Succeeded Fletcher
Hamilton succeeded Henry p.
Fletcher. Of Pennsylvania, as chair
man after nomination Of Gov. Lam
don last June. He was Governor
Landon,s choice for the Job and
won 1t by reclamation.
Pointing out In his letter to COM
mittee members that an election
year chairman always Is chosen
under pressure from the party
nominee, Hamilton said that only
by rendering his resignation could
the committee have an opportunity
to express itself on management
Of the 1896 campaign. He added:
I'm this connection, feel 1t I'M
possible for me to continue in an
ofilcial capacity without an express
sion Of confidence from the body
Of the committee.
Il have fixed this early date dec.
10 not only because congress con-
venes shortly after the first OF the
year, but also because personal
considerations require early action
in order that I may plan my fu-
ture affairs with some degree Of
certainty"
II is understood Hamilton has
had several tempting offers to re-
sumo private law practice and,
without large personal fortune
is attracted by them. But he prom
ised that under any circumstances
to give my full time and whole
hearted effort until the deficit as a
whole or at least a substantial part
thereof Is liquidated."
Meeting with Governor Landon
the week after the election In Kan
sas City, Hamilton announced he
was closing the Chicago Republican
headquarters but would open "the
largest permanent headquarters In
the party's history" here. Governor
Landon told questioners at that
tin e "the country needs an active,
intelligent and militant minority"
Tie defeated candidate promised
a program OF active party work be-
tween campaigns.

states, and later for cities and
counties for retail trade and for
service establishments. For other
phases Of the census these data
will be made available for states
and In some instances for the larg-
er cities.
The 1885 business census Is much
broader In scope than previous CEN
SllseS Of business. Former censuses
were limited to retailing, whole-
sailing, construction (l020 only, ho-
tells, and In 1888 was expanded TO
include service establishments and
amusements. The business picture
afforded was admittedly far from
complete because of the omission OF
many important phases Of business.
Therefore, In making plans for the
present census some hundred and
fifty business leaders in many fields
were called into consultation with
bureau ofiicials to determine the
scope OF the census and to assist
in drafting questionnaires or sched-
ules on which the facts about each
business concern are reported. AS
result Of conferences with those
leaders and others, 1t was decided
to expand the census to include the
following business fields:
Retail Trade.
Wholesale Trade.
Service Businesses.
Theaters and other Amusement
EnterOrigeg.
Broadcast Stations and Networks.
Banking and other Financial
Institutions.
Insurance Carriers and agents..
Advertising Agencies.
Construction.
Truck and Bus Transportation.
Warehousing For-hire.
Hotels and Tourist Camps.

phases OF the census will be issued

The 1895 census will undoubtedly
assure the most complete and &C
curate picture yet obtained OF our
entire business structure. What Is
most important is that this picture
should make possible the drawing
OF definite and logical conclusions
which will aid In the solution OF
many marketing problems now con-
