WALK BECOMES
LONG hike

George A. Meyer, Of Harrisburg,
Pa, left Pittsburgh June 4, to take
a walk. Yesterday. three months
and four days later, he arrived in
the Nations Capital, footsore and
weary.
The walk carried him through
fourteen States. Upon leaving
Pittsburgh he walked south to
Florida. From there, he went
northwest to Ohio, and then east
to the District of Columbia. He
took all his belongings with him
the clothes on his back and the
trinkets in his pockets. When he
arrived yesterday the suit, q
brown tweed, was still in wearable
condition, but he was wearing his
third pair of shoes, and they were
on their last lap.
Mr.. Meyer says that this trip
has taught him a great deal, SC
much in fact, that today he Is
writing a book.
Asked if the trip had given him
an opinion about the forthcom
ing presidential election, Mr.
Meyer said:
"LandOn will be elected by .
large majority"
He further added that the
"solid" South was split wide open
because of the New Deals spend

Asserting that arrests for in
toxication in the District increased
tremendously when compared
with increase in population during
the first two years of repeal" the
Anti-Saloon League of America,
in a statement today, pointed out
that total arrests for all causes in
the District reached an alltime
high of 144,771 during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1886.
Breaking down the Grim e
figures for the District during the
last fiscal year, the league, with
out openly making the assertion,
threw out the impression that the
heavy crime toll here resulted di-
rectly from the repeal of prohibi-
ton. However, the league state
ment admitted:

RAPID CITY, S. D., Sept. IL.
DR.. Francis E. Townsend, head of

occupied a seat on the rostrum at
the Colonel Knox meeting last
night.
Townsend said he came here
merely as observer" but his pres
ence was considered of great sig
nificance as indicating preference
of his Western followers for Ian
don and Knox over Roosevelt.
The meeting was the largest
political rally ever held in any
State west of the Missouri River,
according to party leaders. The
turnout was larger than that &C

shown in the records, except in
those Offenses directly con-
nected with it, such as intOxica-
ton, driving while drunk, and
violations of laws designated to
control the liquor traffic."
The statement, however, said
that during the fiscal year 1886
the ratio of arrests for intoxica.
ton per capita remained about
the same as the ratio in the two
preceding years.
The statement added that while
the population of the District has
increased 25.5 per cent since 1882,
the increase in arrests for all
causes was 1915 per cent in 1886
Although the figures for arrests
for intoxication in 1886 are given
in the statement, no comparable
figure is given for the years be

Pl. N. W.
In fact, she doesn't even feel bad
that she must begin another four
year educational cycle this month,
when she enters George Washing

The reason is that Miss Backen-

by achieving AS (the highest

She plans to major in French
