LEGION OPENS
18th SESSION
NEXT SUNDAY
Expect Crowds at Cleve-
land Convention to Tax
City Beyond Capacity
Bv HENRY B. HENSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Sept. 16. (UP).
The American Legion's 18th an
nual convention, opening here
September 20, is expected to bring
a quarter of million veterans
and their families to this city OF
a riihon population.
MANY in the huge overflow
crowd probably will have to be
billeted in cities 80 miles from
Cleveland.
With four times more advance
reservations filed this year than
for any other sessions, Legion Of
ficials believe they see a note of
economic recovery written in what
each wear is the nations biggest
assemblage.
"S.R.O." signs for the conven-
ton period were hung on hotels
months ago. To accommodate the
overflow, arrangements have been
made with the nearby cities OF
Akron, Lorain and gainesville.
Like most Legion jamborees,
the convention will be staged with
the fanfare and clatter of a care
free get-together.
MUSICIANS IN MARATHON
In one event alone-a "musical
marathon" - more than 1000
Eandsmen will participate for 70
hours straight in a concert wei
coming incoming l.egiOnnaireS
and to let Clevelanders know they
are here.
The marathon will be staged on
a specially-erected platform in the
center of the public square and
will start the day before the con-
vention opens. Sessions will con-
tinue through September rs. -
This years parade will require
10 hours. At least 100000 are eX-
pected in the line of march down
Cleveland's historic Euclid avenue.
Paraders will start passing the re-
viewing stand at 10 a. m. and con-

On knees that threatened to fail, the old
servant -tottered toward the swing door. His
tormentor prodded him through it with the
steel muzzle of the automatic. Lin staggered
across the kitchen, the gun jabbing his spine,
to steps that went down into blackness.

When Mr.. Bray ushered agreeably wearied

Lin looked up from the dent, glanced at

ence, was we'll received. The officer,
man of no lineage, sought to place him
self on friendly terms with one who
moved in upper circles. 1t was crude
tribute, but to be accepted afably. In
good humor, Linn went his way, turned
into a cross street and arrived at the
Wong Lee Laundry.
Most of the habitues, having had
only family dinners to dispose of, were
already present. A cackle of Cantonese
greeted Lin as he seated himself in his
favorite corner. He took off his tie,
loosened his collar and slid cramped
toes out of stiff foreign shoes. From a
ledge he reached down a long, wooden
stemmed pipe. and prepared COM
tortably to air his views on the subject
under discussion.
At midnight the company broke up.
Nearing home, Lin saw light over
the front door. sign that his employers,
on a round of San FranCisCos night
clubs with their guests, had not yet

square of an open window and thought
fondly of a curly head asleep on its
pillow. With loving care he had cast
that girl-child's horoscope. Stars and
the hour confirmed his belief, - she
was destined for riches. The knowledge
sanctioned his secret devotion.
Yes. the baby slept and would not
be wakened by any noise of his making.
On tiptoe he rounded the house and
was drawing keys from his pocket when
his eye caught a glimmer of light in the
dining room Lin paused, astonished.
Who could be there at this hour? Not

if she had any needs downstairs, would
have turned on every light. Besides,

STOPPING. old Lin slipped off his
foreign boots and stole through the
basement to his room. Unhurried, but
with purpose, he went to his camphor-
wood chest. Pungent aromatic odors
escaped as his hand moved under folds
OF quilted silk and cotton. He drew out
a blue black and nickeled
object, whose disColored ivory
handle fitted exactly into the
clasp of his sinewy fingers.
Under the light he inspected

the revolver and thumbed
back the trigger. The pistol

He said:

Mr.. Roosevelt blasted dictator

attack on relationships as q cute

He also denounced the money
changers" He did this, too, in
March, 1888, but the Republicans
expected little reaction from the
public.
He inferentially attacked Japan
for upsetting the naval limitation
ratio. With this, Republicans
agreed, but they refused to grant
the President any advantage on
that issue.
He defended existing new taxes
as necessary in a step toward
balancing the budget. The Re.
publicans condemned the. taxes,
but cheered his step toward bal
ancing the budget. They spite
fully added, though, that a bal
anced budget might be acquired
much easier by reducing expendi,
lures than by increasing taxes.
The Republicans found one
thing in his speech to cheer. It
was his flat declaration that there
will be no new taxes imposed in
1896.
They also liked his promise to
reduce appropriations for direct
relief.
All In all, the Democrats felt
tn. President had made a great
speech In the interest Of maintain
ing popular confidence in his Ad-

The, Republicans felt he had
made a fine, appeal to the masses,
but they awaited popular reaction
to determine how successful he
had been in promoting his own re-

Juanita has a yen "just to go

Juanita, who is Just six years
old, has already disappeared from
home five times, and today is
back with her mother solemnly
promising that she will never,
never do it again."
She is Juanita MCGEE, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Bertha MCGEE Of
HOS East Capitol ST., pretty,
disminutive miss who confesSes
cheerfully to a yearning for visit
ing other places and other people.
When she gets the urge. she ex-
planned, she just goes off.
Street cars are her mode Of
travel. Because she is so tiny
street car conductors never ask
her for fare, and thus she just
blithely does her travelling from
one part of the city ~ another.
This last time she lust went
visiting" she said, at the home Of
a friend at TIL Sixth st. N. w.
On other occasions she has visited
girl friends in various other Sec
tons Of the city.
On one occasion, Mrs. MCGEE
said, her little daughter was found
in front Of a downtown theater,
which Juanita had reached, "juSt
by taking a street car"
Her wanderluSt has developed
only since September, when Juan
ita started for the Bryant School
About school Juanita was quite
n-committal, declaring:
