FORDSON Knee & Blalock Ask for Demonstration. attorney general's mind regarding su preme court appointments. The room was like a bee hive, with all . the cor ners, buzzing about the diverse respon sibilities of the attorney general-patron age, court appointments, what had be come of the "Red" agitation,, prohibi tion, and this latter subject was more or less active all over the room. According to some of his f rierfds, the attorney general thinks that prohibi tion opinions of the department qf jus tice can be written better by a man than a-woman, and that henceforth that phase of -the work of his office should be entrusted to a male assistant who will take over the duties formerly assigned to -Miss Adams," the first wo man to hold the position of assistant attorney general. Miss Adams' place is still vacant; the attorney general is not yet ready to announce her re publican successor. But - the fact that Mr. Daugherty thinks the country has had enough of the feminine viewpoint of prohibition is no particular .index of the new at torney general nbw at work on sixth floor of the department of justice. Some officials in Washington, and opponents of the Volstead act, say that Miss Adams bore down on the liquor ques tion with considerable bitterness. As one of ttie "wet" leaders expressed it, 'the lady in the department of justice was always after us." , The picture, and the atmosphere, of me attorney general s omce today is. one of re-organization, hustle and change, change not only in the meth ods of work, but in the head of the de partment himself, who every day since his arrival at the capital has. shown the effect of a growing sense of the large responsibilities of his office. A flash of the attorney general at work by which the country could most easily gauge him would be that of a man so submerged in the organization of his department, and in settling the repub lican party ir office, as to be able bare ly to look , up from his task and find a free moment. , More placid and less harassed coun tenances of former attorney generals Wayne MacVeagh, Philander C. Knox, George. Wickersham look -down from the walls but Mr. Daugherty mops his brow and continues to canvass the du ties and assignments of his staff with a view to re-adjustment, and,, almost at the same ' time, cope with the pressure upon him to settle the patronage ques tions saddled upon him. s Mr. . Daugherty had not been here long before his mind was made up that the country had .had enough of the wide publicity which the department had courted under Mr. Calmer. '-'What we need now is to stop agi tating the agitators," he said the oth er day, referring to rumors of radical outbreaks. The phrase is becoming a byword .round the capital. His face- was set' as he said it..' His manner was sharp and emphatic, above all, business ike, and showing consid erable restraint. He appeared canny, thoughtful, searching and far-sighted to a large degree. Yet every move he made revealed him as entirely unpre tentious and ready to seek advice. ' A congressman and a senator were ushered in, after waiting an hourl They had an appointment in their state on their minds and sttaed it briefly. The present incumbent back home was Mr. So-and-So. It would be advisable, indeed highly ' necessary, that Mr. So-and-So be relieved of his post and an other gentleman, whom they described, appointed. The attorney general pushed a but ton. A stenqgrapher appeared. He dictated a few sentences, and the thing was done. No discussion seemed to he necessary; no changes or hesita tions in the letter were made. The case was settled in favor of the visi tors. That is the way lie works. SERIES OF RAIDS ON GAMBLING DENS Chicago, Juna 18. Five hundred per sons were arrested here, tonight in a series of raids on alleged gambling houses in the "loop" district. Thous ands of persons watched the raiding policemen break down doors, gather ing as clanging patrol wagons rushed to the raided places. The prisoners were so numerous so that three police stations were used in jailing them. Thb Waiters' Club netted the big gest haul when more than 100 habitutes wece arrested. Six squads, all direct ed by State's Attorney Crowe, con ducted the raids, visiting more than a score of places. The raids were the largest carried out here in years. All prisoners! unable to give bond AMUNDSEN SAFE ' AT NOME AGAIN After Perilous Experiences Intrepid Explorer is Res cued. San Francisco, June" 18. Captain Amundsen, ; famous Arctic explorer and the crew of his Polar, Ship, Maud, have been rescued from a huge ice floe in the frozen north and safely landed at Nome, Alaska, .according to a message received" here ;late today. " Amundsen and his men were picked up by the fur schooner, Herman, ap parently northwest of Alaska, and tak en to Nome. The message was relayed here to H. Liebe & Co., .owners of the schooner. Amundsen and his crew were simply reported "safe." v Amundsen had invaded the polar re gions last summer, sailing from Seattle in his schooner, Maud. His vessel was caught in an ice jam northwest at Alaska and for months the vessel float ed with the huge ice pack. VESSEL ICE-LOCKED Although details of his experiences are still lacking, it is believed the vessel finally was ice-locked where therer was no hope of salvation for many months. The explorer and his men then set out over the surface of the ice. The meager details included-the state ment that he had deserted his vessel, The message also stated , that Amund sen had experienced "extreme hard ships" on the overland trip. While the explorer probably could have remained with his vessel until spring, the usual custom is for the expedition to seek civilization or rescue overland. This is confirmed by announcement that Amundsen planned to have the Maud towed to Seattle as soon as ice conditions permit. Sea farers familiar with polar conditions stated, this indi cated the vessel had probably been smashed by the, ice pack and that masts an dall other movable wooden fixtures burned as fuel. ' . The message also indicated that the intrepid explorer would make a second attempt as soon as the Maud was re paired. ' t CAUGHT BY CURRENT Amundsen's vessel," it was previously reported, had been caught in an ice floe. Indications are " that it floated northward as the explorer had intended, but that some hitherto unknown cur rent had carried it west and south again to some point above Siberia. It had been Amundsen s announced intention of "floating to the pole." The explorer meant to travel overland as soon as his ship halted its -"floating journey" northward. The rescue of Amundsen is the sec ond such feat performed by the staunch little fur schooner Herman. Several years ago it was the Herman that picked up Captain Bartlett of the ill-fated Karluk, flag ship of the Stefan- nsen expedition. ' - PRESIDENT SAILS FOR THE WEEK-END Washington, June 18.

To Mend Rubber Corks When the rubber cork in the camphor or am monia bottle breaks in two in the middle, and no other of proper size is at hand, put the two picees 'of . cork together and push through both an ordinary pin. This hold the pieces in" place. .Then pass a narrow strip of adhesive tape down one side of tho cork, under and up on the opposite side, leaving a half-inch of the tape extending above the cork at either side. Twist these two -. ends together. The cork is removed from the bott -e by pulling on the twisted' ends, which cannot slip out of place because of he inserted pin. k ' " DEADLOCK WILL FORCE HARDING To Declare Peace by Proc lamation, Some Leaders 7 Are Thinking..

Chairman Porter of the house foreign affairs committee announced to night that the disarmament resolution will not be , called up in the House on Monday, as had been intended. The rea son assigned was the absence of so many members on Monday. The congressional jam over these measures and differences over others are effectually blocking progress toward the accomplishment of a -taxation and tariff program, for which the special session was called. - Watercress and parsnips are good .blood purifiers.
