All marketers were urged to per suade salesmen, agents, dealers, customers, friends and business acquaintances to wire congress and to stir up state officials and various organizations to protest. Such tactics are often used when the Interests of large industries are likely to be affected by legislation They accompany personal lobbying here and use of such high priced, plausible corporation lawyers as opposed the current tax proposals before the ways and means com mittee.

Young Irishman Searched Years For Missing Wife Broken-Hearted Man Huntedj 27 Years In Every State For Her. Cleveland, Ohio.—Death Tuesday had snuffed out the fires lighting Andy Brogan’s 27-year search for his wife but his Evangeline-like legend, scrawled on the back of a poster advertising a burlesque danc er, saved him from a grave in pot ter's field. The story goes that Andy, as a young Irish Immigrant settled In Chattanooga. Tenn., rising to./af fluence as a saloonkeeper. The blue bloods of the soutlr, the legend goes, came to his saloons, one in Knoxville and one In Chat tanooga. Prohibition came to Ten nessee In 1905. Black-haired young Andy sold his saloons and took his pretty wife and 145,000 north to seek fortune anew. They settled for awhile In Col orado Springs. Andy left his wile there and the *45,000 for her to keep for him while he started hunt ing a new home and business. He found both but lost his wife and *45,000. He wired for her to come. There was no answer. He wired again. No answer. Andy went to Colorado Springs to find the pretty southern girl. She was gore Ever since then, according to the legend. Andy has been wandering through the United States and Canada peering at faces of wom en. He worked at times, then with a little money he went on. The story of Brogan's long hunt was told principally by John F. Kelly, of Cleveland, who as a troup er of the old days knew Andy In Chattanooga and who took care of him as a broken old man. Kelly gave Andy jobs several times when the wapderer drifted into Cleveland. Here Andy used to work at Kelly's factory but he al ways hit ttoe road again except the last time when he was felled by tuberculosis. Andy died Sunday, wrlkled, gray, and bent, at 75. Kelly aad his friends today were "chipping In," as the burlesque paster asked, "to save him from potter’s field,” Toluca And Knob Cre^k Late News Presiding Elder Preaches.
