First Installment of Long ‘White’
List Soon to Be Issued by La-
Follette Supporters
WASHINGTON, July 29.—The
First installment of a long white,
list, instead of a black list, to guide
independent voters in supporting
Congressional candidates will be
issued within a few days by the La
Follette lorces, it was learned to
day.
In preparing the white list, the
joint executive committee of 11
working with Senator La Follette
will concentrate on eight States in
which primaries are to be held early
in August. They are Kentucky,
August 2; Kansas, Missouri, Ok
lahoma and Virginia, August 5;
Tennessee, August 7; Ohio and
Arkansas, August 12.
The railroad brotherhoods, close
ly allied with the In Follette in
dependents, in today’s issue of
Labor, their official organ, issued
their own blacklist. The only test
applied by the “Big Four” is the
vote on the Howell-Barkley bill to
abolish the Railroad Labor Board
This blacklist contains the mimes
of Republican Leader Longwortn
and Democratic Leader Garrett, of
the House; Senator Shields, of
Tennessee; Representative Burton,
of Ohio, Republican “keynoter”
and Representative Cooper, of Ohio,
who was elected as a labor candi
date.
Senator Stanley, of Kentucky, is
placed on the brotherhood’s white
list without reservation, while Sen
ator Capper, of Kansas, is given a
qualified indorsement. Labor states
that Capper’s “record is far from
satisfactory, but his opponents are
apparently even more reactionary.”
. In this connection it was recalled
that Capper recently indorsed Coo
lidge and Dawes.
While the La Follette white list
may include many of the same can
didates indorsed by the brother
hoods, it was emphasized at the
Senator’s office that the railroad
men were acting for themselves,
and that the independent leaders
would not be bound by the union's
list. They intend to apply a broad
er test to determine whether a can
didate’s record is “Progressive.”,
. In deciding to ifisue a white list
instead of a black list the La Fol
fc lette forces believed it would b< I
more effective to take an affirma*'
tive rather than a negative position.
Inferentially, it was said, can di*,
dates not on the white list might be
considered blacklisted.
While the independent leaders
professed to be undisturbed by the
indorsement of President Coolidge
by S.enator Howell, Nebraska, co
author of the Howell-Barkley bill,
there was jubilation, at the White
House over his announcement and
prediction that the. Republican tick
et would, carry Nebraska.
There are too many nights in the
week to stay away from the picture
show every one of them.

BEGIN HERE TODAY (
John Ainsley, a man of education
and breeding, becomes a master
crook—preying upon other thieves,
In a deal with a “fence” he arranges
to dispose of a box of jewels which
he stole from the White Eagle, a
notorious international crook.
The doorbell of his apartment
rings. A man steps swiftly inside.
“I come from Leedon,” the intruder
says. Leedon was the name of the
fence. “I was hiding when you were
dickering with him today. I over
heard you talk. And I decided that
half of $300,000 would just about
fix me up. Don’t try lo draw a
gun; I’ve got you covered through
my pocket.”
♦ * *
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
I do not think I am a coward. At
any rate, I laughed at him.
“I suppose you expect me to be
lieve that you’d shoot?” 1 jeered.
“I guess you’ll believe it when I
tel] you that I’m Swede Thomassen,”
lhe retorted. “Leedon gave me a
thousand dollars. But what’s a thou
sand dollars to me? I’ve got to have
enough money so that I can play lhe
part of the wealthy gentleman who'
has a whole suite on an ocean liner,
whose privacy mustn’t be disturbed
I’ve got to have enough to bribe a
lot of people if I want to make my
get-away.”
“Extremely interesting,” said I.
“But why come to me? Why not
get it from your friend Leedon?”
“Because as soon as Leedon saw
tonight’s papers, and found out why
I was hiding, he made an excuse to
get out. I didn’t know he’d seen the
papers or I’d never have let him go.
I found the paper after he’d gone.
And there’s nothing I could prove
against him. And anyway, whether
I could or not, he’d gone out to giv s
me up. But you—you’re different.”
“You can’t ’ prove anything
against me,” I told him.
“I said you were different. Lee
don could stand a squndal. He isn’t
afraid of thems He claim? to be an
honest pawnbroker. But you—whpt
do you tlaim to be? Can you stand
police inquiry into your life?”
He was more intelligent and bet
ter educated than I had gathered
from my newspaper reading. And
he had me. Not merely literally
with a gun trained upon me, but
figuratively, he had me. The sub
terranean activities of such a man
as Leedon were so well known to
the police that fear of exposure by
Thomassen would not deter the
pawnbroker from delivering him up.
It was by sometimes aiding the po
lice that Leedon obtained a certain
immunity. But my case was dif
ferent. I could make no terms. And
I was quite sure that if I refused
Thomassen, he would when captur
ed, betray me out of that sheer
in
“CALL HER UP AND TEL
HER—ANYTHING.”
hatred for the world which made
him the beast he was.
A man, then, whom I would hav e
considered it a pleasurable duty to
kill, had me at his mercy. And if I
chose to perform that pleasurable
duty, the action meant the end of
my security. For even though I
prettended that I had killed Thomae
sen while he was burglarizing my
apartment, the police would inevit
ably aske me certain questions which
I would not care to answer.
“A sensible man knows when he’s
licked,” said Thomassen. “You look
sensible.”
“You expect me to hide you here
while I’m waiting for Leedon to
raise the money?” I demanded.
The murderer shook his head..
“I’m taking no chance like that.
You’d be on the level. You’d have to
be. But I’m going to get out of
town tonight. Leedon isn’t the only
man that buys stolen goods. I want
half of the jewels themselves. Get
out the box.”
“Do you think I keep them here?”
I asked. “They’re in a safe-deposit
box downtown.”
“Go, get them,” he ordered. I’ll be
waiting- right here.”
And nows sheer wrath at his inso
lence, combined with horror at his
crime, made me forgetful of his
threat of exposure—or if not forget
ful, careless. But Thomassen was
not merely intelligent; he was
shrewd. The hand that was buried
in his jacket pocket was withdrawr
with a movement so speedy that it
put to shame my own gift of leger
demain.
“No, you won’t,” he jeered.
“Neither now nor later! You’re a
sensible man, Mr. Ainsley, or what
ever you call yourself, as I said a
minute ago. You won’t step into r
bullet when you haven’t a chance.
And I know what’s going on in that
brain of yours. You’re figuring that
you’ll take me off my guard. But 1
know a gentleman when I see one.
And I reckon you know a killer
when you see one. You’re a gentle
man; I’m a killer. You give me;
your word of honor that you won’t
fry to bump me off yourself, that
you won’t slug me or drug me or
anything like that. I don’t ask you
to promise not to give me away to
anyone. You’d have to give your
self away. I just want the promise
I’ve asked.”
“And if I don’t give it?” I asked.
“I’m a killer,” he replied. “I can
only go to the chair once. You give
me your word within ten seconds,
or I’ll kill you.”
He meant it; there was not the
slightest doubt in my mind as to

that. It was the most
moment of my life. Moreover, in ad
dition to my humiliation, I suffen.fl ■
the pangs of Hope deterred. For 1
had no trade, no profession. On less
than three nunarea thousand dol
lars I could not hope to re-establish
myself in my home town, under my
proper name. And I must divide
with this scoundrel!
“And of course, Mr. Ainsley, it’s
understood that you get the jewels
the first thing in the morning, bring
them here and divide.”
I will say for him that, loathsome
though he was, he knew blood. Hi
knew that 1 would rather have di< d
than break my word to him, even
though that word had been obtained
under duress.
He sighed with huge relief as
soon as 1 had spoken.
“I haven’t slept for two days,” he
said. “I'm going to bed. What time
does your servant—l suppose you
have one —get here?”
“In the morning at seven,” I re
plied.
“Has he a telephone?” Thomassen
inquiied.
“She has,” I corrected him.
“Call her up arid tell her—tell ler
anything, but see that she doesn’t
come here tomorrow.”
Meekly I took his orders. Apia
I ask, what could I do? Thomassen
had the insolence to grin at me vnen
I hung up.
“Sweet and simple, isn’t it? And
this is a whole lot better than get
ting out of New York tonight. I’m
dead for sleep.”
I will say for him that he had
nerve, even though it might have
been born of desperation or exiaus
tion. For, demanding to be sh«wn a
bed, he hurled himself upon i", and
was sound asleep in a moment leav
ing me alone with my thoughs.
» * ♦
They were not pleasant thcughts.
Aside from the shattering >f my
dreams of rehabilitation, thee was
my vast self-contempt at beoming
a confederate in the mure.-r of
Thomassen’s victim. Yet I ha given
my word, and the Ainsleysdo not
break their word.
And then, because I cold not
sleep, and because I could thiik only
of the presence of the beast vhom I
sheltered, I began to exanne the
situation, to study the Promise
which I had made. I had sal that I
would bring the jewels her in the
morning and divide them vith myr
unwelcome guest. I had aid that
I would not try to kill Tbmas?en,
or to strike him or drug hit or any
thing like that.
I had not promised thai I would
not betray him to the pace. He
was so confident that I wuld not
dare do that thing, that h had not
exacted any promise. I reddened
as I thought of this. H> believed
me to be so lost to decacy that I
would aid a filthy murderc to cheat
justice rather than riskmy own
precious liberty.
Well, I would surpris him. I
would slip outside, telephne the po
lice and then—what? homassen,
captured, would describeme in de
tail; he would betray m acquain
tance with Leedon. Tbt worthy,
professing of course thathe did not

And over in. Paris, he Will de

Combating Poultry Diseases
Methods of Prevention
by J. W. KELLER, Eminent Poultry Expert
Domestic biids are subject to a
considerable number of diseases,
some of which spread rapidly through
the flock and cause high mortality.
They may also be intested by vari
ous kinds of paiasites, some of whicK
live on the surface of the body anl
others in the _rop, stomach or in
testines. These parasites are injud
ous because they take a part of tie
nourishment which should be need
by the bird to put on flesh, to pro
duce eggs, and also because by tleir
movements and biting they c»use
irr’tation and inflammation of the
parts they attack.
Contagious diseases are the most
important conditions which the
poultryman has to consider m an
endeavoy to keep his birds healthy.
Germs and parasites should bp
kept out of the flock by suitable pfe,
veptive measure# because disease
may I s avoided touch more easily
and cheaply than it can be curtd.
The aim in studying a few of the
diseases of poultry then, is tc leain

as cure them.

The mystery of that much-pic
tured underslung pipe affected by
Charley Dawes, President Coolidge’s
running mate, is at last explained.
It helps Dawes keep cool with
Coolidge.
Not that the smoke serves as a
sedative and thus keeps the high
strung Dawes pulling pleasantly
with the calmly contemplative Cal,
though it may have that effect,
too, but the smoke from this par
ticular brand of pipe is supposed
to have lost all of its heat and bite
before it reaches the mouth of the
vice presidential pipe-puffer.
The stem of the Dawes pipe, as
you have noted from the pictures,
is affixed at the top, not the bot
tom of the bowl. But it enters
merely an outer shell.
There is an inner bowl contain
ing the tobacco, which is screwed
into the outer bowl. This inner
container his its opening at the
bottom. Connecting the stem in
the outer shell with this opening
in the inner bowl is a spiral pas
sage 20 inches long, in which the
smoke is cooled and purified.
It is suggested that the owner

, ume of research work along this line
i which has been conducted at the
| Pratt Experimental Poultry Farm at
; Morton, Pa. The result of years of
research work for prevention of dis
ease is contained in a booklet “Prac
tical Pointers" issued by the Pratt
Poultry Institute, Philadelphia, Pa.,
and sent free of cost to any one re
questing it. ,
Roup
Roup is one of the most contagious
and destructive diseases among
fowls, and is especially prevalent in
the fall and winter months. It is a
contagious catarrhal disease charac
terized by running at the eyes and
nostrils, puffed eyes, swollen head,
while later on the mouth and throat
become filled with fowl smelling
muedps or cheesy matter. The dis
ease Is caused by its owh specia
gyrip but the germ is fostered by
wtpßSure to Cold and draughts, w'hile
at the same time, crowding, of the
birds, dirty quarters, neglect and
mismanagement may also be a sac-
I tor.
! The treatment of roup is difficult
’ and the best way is to use a roup
■ | (jure, or tablet such as is recom-
i I nended in Practical Pointers to
i : Poultry Raisers. Besides isolating
, ball afflicted birds, establish a quar
tjantine for all suspects <
■ ; Besides using the roup tablet dis-
solved in water, wash the rqouth and
nostrils of the birds infected once or
twice a day with a solution of boric
acid—fifteen grains to an ounce of
water. For sores, make a Swab and
paint them well with poultry disin
fectant, remembering that during all
the time of the Illness it is well to
feed the fowls a good regulator in
mashes to maintain their strength
and resistance to the disease. It is
imperative that measures ot cure go
hand in hand with all means to build
the birds up during this period of
low vitality. For the practical poul
try raiser, I can recommend no bet
ter book for the treatment and
diagnosis of different diseases than
the one gotten out by the Pratt Ex
perimental Poultry Farm, Philadel
phia, Pa., which will be sent to any
one free or cost on request.
