Celebrates Birthday
At Party in Hollywood
HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Sept. 18.—In
a quiet little home on a side street
here, a party was held Wednesday,
-• a celebration in honor of the 102 d
-anniversary of the birth of former
J'nited States Senator Cornelius
Cole, of California.
. The party is not as large an affair
as it has been in years gone by, for
the ruddy-faced old gentleman who
was serving in the upper house of
congress when Lincoln was presi
dent, has just recovered tom an
attack of influenza and is still a bit
weak.
Friends of long standing and mem-

Politics, the world flyers an 3 the
radio are his chief topics of conver

about the "flapper” and modern
youth.
To' the natural question of what
assures a long life, Senator Cole has
a simple answer.
"Live easily and don’t worry. Hat
enough simple foods, but not too
much. This idea of transmitting

appeal to me. Don't outrage your
physical or mental faculties and
they will take care of you.”

In 1919 the desire for peace was

Publisher of Music,
Dies at Chattanooga
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Sept. 17.
A. J. Showalter, nationally-known
song book publisher of this city, was
found dead in his room at a local
hotel today. Death was believed to
be due to either heart failure or
acute indigestion.
Professor Showalter, president of
the A. J. Showalt'er company, with
branches in Chattanooga, Dalton,
Ga., and Texarkana, Ark., was born
in Buckingham county, Virginia, in
185-8. He was educated in the pub
lic and private schools and later

cago and Philadelphia and also
studied methods in Germany and
France.
In 1880, Professor Showalter be
gan as teacher, compiler of singing
school books and composer, and as
publisher at Dalton in 1884. He was
the author of “Work and Worship,”
“Rudiments of Music,” "Class, Choir
and Congregation,” "Complete Rudi
ments of Music,” "Showalter’s Prac
tical Harmony,” "Showalter Practi
cal Music Tablet,” "Practical Rudi
ments and Music Reader” and many
others, totaling a hundred books in
all.
One of his most popular composi
tions was the noted gospel song,
“Leaning on the Everlasting Arms,”
published in more than a thousand
music books and translated into
practically every language of the
world where the Christian religion
is known.
Chicago Messenger
Who Stole $772,000
Is Acquitted by Jury
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Willie Dal
ton, the boy bank messenger, who
fled from the Northern Trust com
pany bank in 1921 with $772,000 in
Liberty bonds, was acquitted by a
jury Wednesday. It was his third
trial, two juries having disagreed.
Dalton’s attorneys insisted before
the jury that Dalton had no intent
to steal, that he was "intoxicated”
by the sight of so much money and
due to an emotional impulse fled
with the bonds. Indirectly they de
clared that if Nathan Leopold and
Richard Loeb were given the benefit
of doubt on account of their age—
-19 years—and spared from the gal
lows and sentenced to life impris
onment, Dalton should receive con
sideration because of his youth. All
the bonds except one for SSOO were
recovered when Dalton was appre
hended at Heyworth, 111., the defense
attorneys also brought out.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—There
are fewer paupers in alms houses in
the United States than there have
been in the last twenty years, and
the number per 100,000 of popula

LA FOLLETTE'S HOME
STATE VOTE TO BE
GRHTLYCURTAILED
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal—Copy
right, 1924.)
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 18.—
Anyone who simply crosses Wis
consin off the political map of doubt
ful states with the confident asser
tion that Senator LaFollette will get
the electoral vote is missing much
of what is happening in these parts.
For there are two factors which,
when the' ballots are counted, will
tend to reduce the vote cast for Rob
ert M. La Follette in his home state.
One is the Democratic party, which
mysteriously enough is displaying
more activity than is customary, and
the other is the fact that under the
Republican eagle where thousands
of voters have marked their ballots
traditionally, they will no longer find
La Follette as of yore.
The senior senator from Wisconsin
has been running for office in this
state for a generation. He has
always been a Republican. His
enormous vote two years ago was
due to the fact that he won the Re
publican primaries and there were
thousands of regular Republicans
who disliked La Follette but voted
the straight Republican ticket. Also
in those primaries there were thou
sands of Democrats and Socialists
who helped La Follette capture the
machinery of the Republican party.
Different Situation Today
But today the voter faces a dif
ferent situation. The regular Re
publican has Coolidge and Dawes.
Many voters who are not particular
ly perturbed about La Follette’s
radicalism and who at the same time
have the life-long habit of voting a
Republican ticket, will vote "for
Coolidge.
Unquestionably Senator La Fol
lette will poll less of a Republ.can
vote by a good deal than he did two
years ago. To offset his losses he
nopea for some acquisitions, as he
will have Socialists and Democrats
too.
Indeed, it is difficult to conceive
that there were many voters who
refused to vote for La Follette two
years ago and who would vote for
him now. He reached his maximum
in 1922 and undoubtedly has lost
some since then.
As if in confirmation of this, the
Democrats have taken on hope and
behave as if they think they had a
chance. For the first time in a long
while, they have nominated com
plete tickets throughout the coun
ties, and that is significant.
strategy evidently is to hold the
Democratic vote in line and to re
gain much of it that has been in the
habit of assisting La Follette. The
question is whether such tactics will
help Davis or Coolidge. It surely
doesn't help La Follette and it can
not be of much aid to the Democrat
ic national ticket, for by subtracting
from La Follette's vote, the chances
of President Coolidge carrying the
state are improved. The Democrats
have not been polling enough votes
to assure them of anything but third
place in a three-cornered race such
as the presidential contest this year.
If, therefore, they make an active
campaign, they will take away votes
from La Follette.
Unique Condition
Privately, there are regular Repub
licans who are happy over what the
Democrats are doing. The regulars
are not well organized and they
have division i.> their own ranks, but
they have little influence with the
large independent body of voters
which has been the main pillar of
La Follette's strength, ajnd if the
Democrats can tempt them, so much
the better for Coolidge prospects.
Wisconsin presents a unique sit
uation. The Republican state ma
chinery is in the hands of La Fol
lette. The Republican .state conven
tion has just fulfilled the promise
of the La Follette managers that
they would play fair by leaving the
Republican label to Coolidge and by
seeing to it that the requirements
of the statute were met in selecting
electors who were really Coolidge
yien. For a time it was thought
the La Follette group might take
advantage of the situation and con
fuse the issue by sticking to the Re
publican label. But as if to make
matters worse, the La Follette man
agers have selected Coolidge electors
and handed them to the regular Re
publican party—a humiliating situa
tion in politics. The electors chosen
are Coolidge men all right, but their
very names on the ballot in some
cases will only make some of the La
Follette voters, especially some of
the Germans, irritable. Some of the
names will make controversies that
otherwise might have been glossed
over had the Republicans been able
to select their own electors
Dawes’ Speech a Misfit
The speech of Charles G. Dawes
may have created a good deal ot
comment outside of Wisconsin, but
in Milwaukee it didn’t fit. The peo
ple here are not receptive to talk
about the horrors of socialism, espe
cially after they have just re-elected
by- an overwhelming majority a So
cialist mayor. Socialism is popular
with a large element in Wisconsin.
Hence attacks on it in more or less
general terms are not so very ef
fective. Nor has the Dawes plan
been received by many of the Ger
man voters as yet as anything but a
new burden for Germany.
Senator La Follette will get a big
vote in Milwaukee as usual, and
present indications are he surely
will carry the state, but by a reduced
plurality pver previous years.
Leopold and Loeb Join
In Pen Chapel Service
JOLIET, 111., Sept. 15.—Nathan

Richard Loeb, took part in the
church service in the Illinois state

mail had arrived for them, but was
carefully censored, many letters
from young ladies finding their way’
into the warden's waste basket.

KEEP GEN. PERSHING
DN THE ACTIVE LIST.
ME OF LEGION
ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 18.—(By
the Associated Press.) —Passage of
legislation necessary to restore Gen
eral John J. Pershing to the active
list "in order that his valuable coun
sel will be available to those respon
sible for the defense of the nation”
was urged in a resolution adopted
by the American Legion national
here today.
The milit-ary report also recom
mended passage of the universal
service act, proposed by the conven
tion at New Orleans in 1922, and ac
tion looking towards its passage was
looking towards its passage was
made one of the main activities of
the legion for 1925.
The Pershing resolution declared
that he had "shown himself to be
one of the great soldiers of Ameri
can history and also the best friend
of the national guard and organized
reserves, who possesses the vision
to have our country profit by the
lessons of the World war in the de
velopment of our present comprehen
sive plan'of national defense.”
The report of the arenautics com
mittee as adopted urged the develop
ment of a merchant air marine on an
adequate basis and recommended re
sumption of the forest air patrol for
conservation purposes. It also as
sured support by the legion to the
air mail forces in overcoming ob
stacles created by inadequate per
sonnel.
Representatives and senators who
voted to override the presidential
veto of the adjusted compensation
pull were thanked for "their demon
stration of friendship to the legion”
under another resolution adopted.
The legion refused to go on record
formally’ pledging itself to oppose any
future claim for compensation for
World war veterans, the convention
sustaining the committee on legisla
tion, which recommended rejection
of such a resolution.
Would Keep Paper’s Profit
Another resolution directed that
congress be asked to set aside as a
trust fund the $400,000 profit from
the Stars and Stripes, army newspa
per in France, the income from this
trust to be used for the decoration of
graves of American soldiers in
France.
Criticisms of the Veterans’ Bureau
planning board and the central board
of appeals is contained in a resolu
tion favorably reported to the Amer
ican Legion convention today by the
rehabilitation committee.
A recommendation for making De
fense Test day an annual event, set
for September 12, was contained in
the military affairs’ committee re
port adopted by the convention.
Legionnaires were urged to “con
tinue their splendid co-operation” to
make the day successful.
The convention also adopted the
report of the naval affairs commit
tee, which urged that “our battle
fleet be placed immediately on an ab
solute parity with the strongest
navy in the world in the matter of
range and power of its guns.’’
Another resolution adopted recom
mended the adjusted compensation
act be changed to permit any vet
eran to assign his insurance bene
fits to any patriotic organization
chartered by congress. The Ameri
can Legion is one of the two such
organizations.
..With most of the "heavy” speak
ing program out of the way, the
convention today’ awaited committee
reports and resolutions.
These reports and resolutions and
e.ection of officers are expected to
occupy most of the remaining busi
ness sessions.
A number of resolutions said to be
of a controversial nature were be
ing threshed out by the resolutions
committee, and it was said there
might be "fireworks” when some of
them were presented on the floor.
The American Legion auxiliary
will nominate officers today, and re
ceive committee reports, as will the
Forty and Eight, the playground of
the legion.
A feature of the entertainment on
today's prograin is the annual pa
rade of the Forty and Eight.
New Society Formed
Formation of a new group of the
legion with membership restricted to
legionnaires who served in the navv
or marine corps was announced to
day. It will be known as the Amer
ican Legion Land, Sea and Air
Gang.
Joseph Frank, of Miami, Fla., who
was chairman of the organization
meeting, was named its head with
the title of general. Other officers
elected are Miss Josephine O'Reilly,
Milwaukee, major general; Miss
Blanche Slater, Chicago, adjutant
'general, and E. D. Nelson, Moline,

honorary’ member.
The "Gang” will meet next year
at Omaha, Neb., at the same time
as the American Legion gathering,
when a constitution and by-laws will
be adopted.
The organization is designed, Its
backers said, to promote better fel
lowship among the former marines

ROBERT CROWE AND DARROW
AGAIN TO MEET IN BATTLE
FOR LIFE OF YOUNG SLAYER
Attorney Who Saved Leo
pold and Loeb From Gal
lows Takes Up Fight for
Penniless Convicted Youth
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Attorney
Clarence Darrow and State’s At
torney Robert E. Crowe, victor and
vanquished in the sensational Leo
pold-Loeb murder case, will come to
grips again next month, this tim?
over the life of a penniless youth.
Now that Darrow has promised
to appear personally before the
board of pardons in behalf of Ber
nard Grant, sentenced to hang Oc
tober 17, for the murder of a police
man, Crowe has started to prepare
his fight against pardon or com
mutation of sentence.
"So far a petition has not been
placed before the governor in be
half of Grant,” Crowe said today.
“We shall oppose overturning of
the sentence. Grant was found guilty
of murder and the jury directed the
death penalty. His age has nothing
to do with it.”
"Will you appear in person to op
pose Mr. Darrow?” he was asked.
"I do not know yet whether I
shall be there,” Crowe said. “I may
go before the beard, or I may send
one of my assistants. I am looking
into the case now. If I do not con
test the case in person, I shall lay
out the plan of battle.”
When Darrow does appear before
the board he will have the weight
of some 2,000.000 names behind
him, Attorney Thomas E. Swanson,
acting for Grant, stated.
The names of more than 250,000
persons in Illinois will appear on
petitions demanding executive clem
ency, Swanson said.
The Illinois Federation of Wom
en’s clubs, with a membership of
more than ICO.UOO. is taking an ac
tive part in obtaining signatures.
A mass meeting of officers of dis
trict branches of the federation was
held in Swanson’s office to plan
for concerted action. Club womei
of note, among them Mrs. Mary H.
Biel, Mrs. Victor Olander, Mts.
John B. Blacklidge, Mrs. Edward
E. Bailey and Mrs. Harry D. Ham
mer, promised re circulate petitions
and also to write personal letters
to Governor Small.
Thousands of persons, from coast
to coast, are flooding Governor
Small’s office with demands for ex
ecutive clemency, and many pen
sons are writing directly to Swan
son, urging him to keep up the
fight and offering help.

tice of the Georgia court of appeals,
addressing the Kiwanis club Tues
day, declared that Leopold and Loeb,
the Chicago boy murderers, became
criminals because of their lack of
home training. Holding that par
ents are responsible for the conduct
of their children, Judge Jenkins add
ed that if "they had hanged the
whole tribe they wouldn’t have gone
far wrong.” He said that was once
the custom in some *.countuie.s to
hang the father when a son com
mitted a crime.
Judge Jenkins was the principal
speaker at Tuesday’s luncheon,
which was devoted to a program in
observance of the anniversary of
the signing of the constitution. Leon
Covington was chairman, and made
a brief preliminary address in which
he expressed doubt whether many
of the members of the club had ever
read the constitution of the United
States, and put them on notice that
at the next meeing he would inquire
how many had read it. He also an
nounced the plan of the club to
carry forward an educational move
ment to cause greater popular
knowledge of the constitution in
this community. Prizes will be of
fered for essays on the constitu
tion by school children and members
of the club will make addresses on
the subject before schools and civic
organizations that invite them.
Many visitors were present at the
meeting Tuesday.

Says New
Method
Heals
Rupture
Kansas City
Doctor’s Dis
covery Makes
Truss 0 r|
Operation
Unnecessary
A new discovery
which, experts
agree, has no equal
for curative effects
in all rupture cases,
is the latest accom
plishment of Dr. An
drews, well-known
Hernia Specialist of
Kansas City, Mo. The
extraordinary success
of this new method
proves that it holds
and heals a rupture. It
weighs only a few
ounces. Has no hard
gouging pads, no qla?-
tic belt, no leg straps,
no steel bands, and is
as comfortable as a
light garment. It has
enabled hundreds of
persons to throw away
trusses and declare
their rupture absolute
ly healed. Many of
these had serious dou
ble ruptures, from
which they had suf
fered for years. It is
Dr. Andrews’ ambition
to have every ruptured
person enjoy the quick
relief, comfort and
healing power of his
discovery, and he will
send it on free trial to
any reader of The Tri-
Weekly Journal who
writes him. He wants
one person in each
neighborhood to
whom he can refer.
If you wish to be rid
of rupture for good,
without an operation,
take advantage of the
doctor’s free offer.
Write him today.
