But when he walked away a week
or so ago, he “got in b a d” with the
whole prison, especially the members
of the baseball team, for “turning
yellow” when his time was almost
up. The members of the team were
indignant, and say they would not
let him play now, even if prison

Witness Tells Contißstee
He Understood Samuel
Insull Gave Money For
the Campaign.
Chicago. Aug. s.—(An—Frank L.
Sm'th. republican senatorial nomitue
ill Illinois, testified today befete the
senate campaign funds committee that
during the recent primary campaign
jie “understood'’ that Samuel Insull,
Chicago public utilities magnate, had
contributed funds to his condidaey.
“It was common talk in tb? cam
paign and charges were mode by op
ponents.”
“Did you deny it?" Reed .asked.
“In a speech at Springfield during
the campaign I said that if one who
had paid $38,000,000 in reduced rates
to the public wanted to contribute to
my campaign I saw no reason why
he should not do so.”
The chairman of the Illonohi Com
merce Commission which controls
rates on public utilities in state
said he had no definite information
from Allen F.' Moore, bis campaign
malinger, that Insull had actually
contributed to his campaign fund.
His testimony is that the utilities
executive gave $125,000 directly, and
spent $32,025.10 for propaganda
against the world court which bene
fitted Smith's candidacy.
“I can conceive of no citizen that
directly interested in politics being in
terested to the extent of making such
charges to a United States Senate,"
Smith added. Therefore I assume that
there was a political motive behind it.
But I cannot give any name.”
“The committee will be glad to
have the names if you learn them.”
Senator Reed said.
Morris Eller, Crowe-Bnrrett leader
and republican “boss" 6f yCMcagn*

“I get my men jobs in the city nnd
county when they want them,” Elker
said.
"Wlmt would . the salary of these
jobs average?” Reed asked.
"From $145 to $250 per month and
a few at $300."
Eller said six members of his fam

LUTHERAN SUMMER SCHOOL
! Second Day Foil of Interest—Enroll
ment of 250 Expected.
The second day of the Lutheran
Church School, conducted at the Col
legiate Institute at Mt. .Pleasant,
found, interest and attendance of the
; school increasing. Numbers of peo
f pie from all sections of the state are
visiting the school and the grounds
of the Institute for the first time.
Fine * compliments are being spoken
about the location of the school and
the convenience of the dormitories.
It is expected that the enrollment of
the school will run to 250 or more
before the close of this week. Dele
gates to the Lutheran State Sunday
School are already arriving and will
remain for a few days attending the
classes and looking over the property
of the church at Mt. Pleasant The
Sunday School Association will meet
Friday afternoon in the chapel of the
Institute.
The lectures and classes are well
attended by the several hundred stu
dents on the grounds. The material
put before the church folks is of such
a nature as to compel attention and
interest.
On Tuesday night Dr. A- O. Voigt
of the Southern Seminary delivered
a meet instructive lecture on the
Apochryphal books of the Old Test
ament. These books cover the 400.
years proceeding the birth of Christ
and afford a background for the
preacting of Christ and the estab
lishment of the Christian Church.
Some great historical events occurred
during this period. Alexander the
Great established his empire in 325
B. C.. He dealt leniently with the
Jews and colonized many of them.
At a little later period the Ptolemy’s
of Egypt came into power and also
the Assyrian Empire was founded to
the west of Palestine. The leaders
of these governments were at dif
ferent periods friendly to the Jew
and ut other times most bitter
against them. Finally the yoke of
slavery was lifted from the Jews
through the heroic Maccabean dynas
ty. During this period the Pharisees
and the Saducees had their origin.
No man will truly understand many
■of the sayings of the New Test
ament, unless he knows these books,
which are similar to the books of the
Old Testament, being prophetic in
character and written by Jewish
leaders of ttiat period.

Mere Man a Peacock on the Quiet
Questing Beauty, Cosmeticians Say.
Chicago, Aug- s.—The tears of
man over woman’s invasion of the
barber shop are declared by the na
tion’s specialists, in convention here,
to be of the genus crocodile.
Because, they say, he is slipping
around after hours haunting feminine 1
beauty parlors and paying unwilling 1
operators more than do their women 1
customers for every aid devised by 1
the beauty culture profession.
One proof proffered at the Ameri
can Cosmeticians Society convention >
here was the fact that mere man 1
used $8,000,000 worth of hair dye
last year, with other items in propor
tion. Men were charged wit! spend- J
ing more time and money on their
appearance than ever before. They
have found beauty aids a vast help
in a business world which puts a
premium on good appearance and
youth, it was claimed.
The barber shop of hair cuts,
shaves and shines, the experts said,
is a thing of the past. Tomorrow it
will be a masculine beauty parlor.
The cosmeticians were interested
in a statement by their President,
Mrs. Nellie B. Cooper, that a wife’s
breakfast table toilette should oc
cupy only six and one-half minutes.
In that time she can apply founda
tion cream, powder, rouge, lipstick
and eye-brow pencil and eyelash
brush, Mrs. Cooper said.

MANY MOTORISTS WITH
NO LICENSE PLATES
The Largest Number of Delinquents
Seem to.Be in the Cities.
Sir Walter Hotel
Tribune Bureau
Raleigh, Aug. 5. —Few actual ar
rests of motorists for running with
out their new license plates are be
ing made, but many are being stopped,
and instead of being taken before a
judge, are taken to the automobile
license bureau here, w'.iere they are
required to purchase their license
plates. This is in accordange with
the ruling of R. A. Doughton com
i| nnssioner of revenue, that automobile
I owners were to be shown as much
consideration as possible, and only
deliberate and intentional offenders
, were to be prosecuted. While there
were some 15.000 or 20,000 at th»
beginning of the. week who had not
ye: secured ttieir licenses, this num- :
her is diminishing rapidly.
Strange to say, the large number
of delinquents seem to be in the cities,
whore, evidently depending on the
traffic congestion to conceal their oil
license plates, they hoped to “get
by.” Several have remarked rhat
more old license plates were to be
seen in Raleigh than any other sec
tion of the State, probaly because t’je
central bureau is here, and a license
may be obtained in a few minutes no
tice. Many others are just trust
ing to luck to “get by” as long as
possible, while others simply have
not the cash with which to buy a li
cense, according to Commissioner
Doughton.
—*T notice that they have enough
money to buy gasoline wun, though,”
he remarked, stating that he liad re
ceived hundred of letters from auto
mobile owners who said that they
simply did not have the cash to get
a license with now. The only thing
for them to do is to keep their oars
in their garages or back yards until
they can get a new license, the cpm
missioner says, as from now on all
delinquents are to be nabbed when
ever they appear on the highway
without new license plates.
Only a few cases of stolen license
plates have been reported, though a
much larger number of lost plates
have been reported. Car owners are
urged to fasted their license plates
on securely and rigidly to avoid loss.
SHORT. TIGHT SKIRTS
IN FALL STREET GOWNS
International Motifs of American
Designers Include Rich Russian
Embroideries.
Chicago. Aug. 4. —The American 1
womnn of fashion will find an in
ternational motif in her gowns this
fall, from indications at the open- ■
ing of the Chicago Garment Manu
facturers' Fashion Revue.
Russian. French, Italian and
Czeeho-Slovakian tendencies in cut,
cloth and trimming of many •of the
smartest gowns predominate in the
first inking from the designers of the
new styles.
Handsome embroidery, after the
manner of .Cossack uniforms reflects
the glitter that was once Russian;
brilliant color, notably chanel red
and royal blue, with elaborate bead
ing, show the Parisian influence,
while the straight, tailored line for
street wear is England's contribu
tion.
Black, in rich materials, such as
brocade, flat crepes and chiffon vel- 1
vets, is shown and a new coat-dress
ensemble of black velvet trimmed
with wide bands of w r hite fox evoked
enthusiasm. Skirts are short—-almost
to the knee —and tight; and many of
the street dresses are sleeveless and
cut low at the neck.

army of bellringers finds itself with
out employment.
One of the most striking features of
Mexican life to the casual visitors
has always been the noise of church
bells. Every hamlet, and many of
the ranches of the country, have One
or more Catholic churches, and each
edifice is equipped with one or more
bell towers. The great cathedral in
the City of Mexico has sixteen of
these towers.
It has always required a great
army of men to keep the church bells
going in Mexico. It is estimated that
that in this city alone there have been
more than 2,000 bellringers fegularly
employed. On days of religious cele
brations the number has been aug
mented, as it has been the custom
to keep up the ringing of the bells
through tbe day and night on such
occasions.
