RUMP SESSION
PLAN CANCELLED
BY Gates BLOC
Attempt to Hold Meeting
Prior to Convention
Is Abandoned.

The @. O. p. faction urging Ralph
Gates, Columbia City as state
chairman today revealed, through
Jus leaders, that a so-called rump
session OF the Republican state
committee would not be held to-
morrow as had been reported pre-
Viously.
The group, which claims suffi-
cient legally elected state commit
teemen to name Mr.. Gates as
chairman indicated they will not
meet before the state convention.
June 3, unless Don B. Irwin, state
Chairman, calls them into session.
III our committeeman met, the
meeting would be called a 'rumn'
session when in fact it would con-
Stltute majority Of members" a
Gates spokesman sale.
Committee Action Raped
The Gates group had appealed 10
Mr.. Irwin to hold state committee
meeting tomorrow. but he refused
and set the committee meeting for
June q, the date after the state con-
vention.
Today the Gates faction released
a letter sent by Edgar Dur~e. Re-
publican chairman of Vanderburph
County, to Harry G. Fenton, state
secretary, in which Mr.. Durre criti-
cised the state committee for failing
10 declare legal election in the
Eighth District.
Mr.. Durre commended the Eighth
District had been counted OUT in
manner similar to the "long
count given Jack Dempsey in the
Tunney-Dempsey fight.
Headquarters Are Opened
He charged the failure to declare
q legal election in the district as a
"subterfuge."
obviously it only serves" the let
ter says, "for the purpose of con-
troll the committee clique at any
cost until after the convention"
The Fourth District, in which Mr..
Gates resides, and the Eighth Dis
trict both established headquarters
today in the Claypool.

So the next Thursday Roger was right on
deck, standing out beside the cashiers booth,
looking like he didn't know whether to laugh
or cry or just 60 up in smoke. The Girl came
in on schedule with her old lady friend and
Roger took one step onto the floor of the
restaurant, scared smile on his face.
But The Girl looked right at him and right
through him, with never sign that she knew
him at all. Of course the old lady didn't know
who he was, so if anybody ever got the cold
shoulder, it was Roger then. Tony made him
go home with him that night and the menus
went to press all right over the weekend.
For the next two Thursdays Roger stayed
out in his alleyway, but Tony could see that
he was figuring some way to get next to The
Girl; after the cold shoulder act he just didn't
have the nerve to speak to her, and he made
Tony promise that he would not speak to her
either.
Naturally Tony, with his big, romantic Wop
heart, was getting pretty interested in The
Girl and by pumping Enrico, the waiter on
her station, learned a lot about her. "On the
third Thursday after she'd cut him dead" "

Tony told me, Il put out the menus as usual
and never noticed something that gave a
couple of reporter customers such kick
that Warberg got more publicity in the next
couple of days than he's ever had since. Right
under where the bill of fare said Fried
Oysters, Tartar Sauce. =. 40 cents Roger
set up line that said:
Honey, adore you. Please tell me what
is wrong
HE knew she'd see it there, but never
knew about it until the next day, when the
restaurant was labeled the Fried Oyster Love
Nest in every newspaper in the city. Just the
kind of human interest story they like. Busi-
ness picked up and never let down, some big
printer came in, saw Rogers stuff and gave
him a swell job plenty happened on ac-
count of that line in the MENU"
Sure" I said to him, "but what about
The Crib"
''Well," said Tony, ''she just walked out
and we never saw.her again. That's why she
cut loose from him in the first place, you see.
She'd been blind for about two years."

his printing card. could afford to start his
own shop
Then, about two years before Roger wan
dered into the restaurant, she ID just cut things
off without word, nice clean job judging
by what Tony told me, and Roger hit the
skids, losing his job and everything else, too.
1t was lucky thing for Warberg because
Roger knew his stuff even then, and his menus
were what started Warberg on his way to the
class he has now. They were so good that he
had to build the place up around them, though
he kicked like a steer when he saw the bills
for the Garamonds and Caslons and all the
other fancy types that Roger made him buy.
One day Roger was leaning on the service
window, looking the place over around the
corner of the cashiers booth (he hardly ever
showed any interest in anything but his little
hand press), when The Girl came in and sat
down in the booth she always took He turned
pale and grabbed hold of Tony.
my Godr' He couldn't speak over
whisper
Take it easy" said Tony, that just The
Girl She comes in every week with that old
lady"
Its her." said Roger. From what Tony
says about Roger, he knew better language
than that, but | guess he just didn't care
right then.
He faded out of sight and Warberg had
to use the same menus over the weekend be-
cause he didn't know how to run the press
and Roger didn't show up until Monday.
The Girls been coming in every Thursday
for quite while" Tony told Roger when the
boy came back, because she likes fried oys-
tiers and that's the day they're on special"

take gOOQ look dt IL anyway.
Tony was head waiter at Warberg's Res
taurant, where I'd been working as fry cook
for couple of months. Don't be surprised
because a head waiter was so chummy with
fry cook. Tony was like that, just one good
guy. Because had half dozen of the best
Blue Points in the fat right then let him
hold the clipping while sneaked quick look
at it.
Roger Barnes" it said, under a rotten
photo of what looked like pretty handsome
sort of sad-looking gent, ''who was acclaimed
yesterday by the American Typefounders as
the country's foremost designer of the printed
page"
Believe it or not, said Tony, ''once he had
that job there" He pointed out in the alley
way beside the kitchen where pale, pimply
lad in an ink-staned shirt with no collar on it
was printing up tomorrow's menus on hand
press.
Seems that about ten years ago Warberg
had advertised in the paper for printer for
five dollars week - that was a lot OF money
Just to have the date and few items changed
on the menu every day, but the old man be-
lieved in doing things right = and Roger had
turned up the next day.
His clothes were seedy he hadn't had
shave in days, but somehow he looked like

I'm just coming off a weeks drunk,
said Roger, and he looked it, but I'm darn
good printer and might as well print here
as anywhere else
Tony knew something was wrong, and being
naturally kind to stray dogs and cats and
people like me for example, it didn't take him
a minute to find out that all the trouble was
about woman, as usual. When Roger had
been printing for Warberg for about month,
Tony knew that he and this girl had grown
up together, with never doubt about things
going on for keeps; they were going to be
married as soon as Roger, who had just gotten

STRANGER MAKES
ERROR IN ARTICLE

An article appeared recently in
one of the church papers, written
by one who had spent only few
hours in Ashe county. Being a
stranger, and looking over the stu
alton, in certain part of the coun-
ty, very hurriedly, she made many
errors in her article-especially in
her reference to the territory and
work Of the Lansing Larger Parish.
Unfortunately, she misquoted Mr..
Cook in several instances. It is to be
regretted that the absurd statement
was made that "there are no high
schools in the Lansing Parish" ,
since, it so happens that Mr.. Cook
lives in sight of one of the largest
high schools in the county and
breaches in another large high
school.
In talking with Mr.. and Mrs.
Cook, we learn that they regret
deeply that these statements were
made, which might seem to cast re-
Election upon the good people Of the
parish and cause misunderstand-
ing.

Huge Appropriation
Bill Passed By The
Representatives

Setting a new record high for
peace time expenditures for nation
al defense, the annual War depart
ment appropriation bill emerged
from The House appropriations COM
mittee with the opening Of the
week carrying $374,981,521 for the
natien's land forces for the 1887
fiscal year.
Although the amount fixed in the
bill was $3.50 below budget esti-
mates it was $23, 803,50 more than
the $751;, 178,020 allowed for the
cure fiscal year ending next June
80. L Guiding $168, 359,985 for nom
milit y activities, the bills overall
total was $543,341, sos in outright
app, oriations.
Tl'o bill provides for more sea-
coast and western outpost defense,
furtl ar increases in army enlisted
strer h and the Nation Guard, and
expo sion of the air force.
TIL bill stipulated that the en-
listed strength be brought up to not
less than 10000, or only $4,000
short of the 10000 strength order
ed last year by Congress.
Provision was made also for pro-
curement of 565 airplanes during
the year. -
Lengthy debate prevented prompt
vote on the army bill in the House.
The military affairs committee on
Wednesday refused to authorize
purchase of 800 instead of sos new
fight planes in 1887.
r. unsuccessful attempts were
made n the House Thursday to re-
duce the amount provided in the
bill.

vocal lines. Her sweet disposition
was always a joy to those who
knew her and to those who attend
ed to her during her illness.
Miss Gentry is survived by two
sisters, Mesdames A. r. VAIL OF

therefore legal to petition the
Tennessee courts, as she did, to
divorce them.
Mrs. Saul is represented in the
present action by Attorneys Alvin

Her husbands attorneys are
James c. Wilkes, Henry I. Quinn
