There is this comfort for you — the rates in Adams county next year are considerably less —and that will mean much to most folks who have been finding it a rather harder than usual bill to settle the past couple of years. A young couple left their baby in their car while they attended a dance at Mongo. Indiana. Saturday evening. When they returned, the car and the baby were gone. Later the two young men who had stolen the automobile discovered the babe in the back seat and decided they didn't care for the bargain, so they returned the whole outfit and slip- ] ped away. Auto banditry and kid(napping are serious crimes but not : much worse than leaving a baby I in a parked car these days. . S-L. 1 ' —— Judge Erwin evidently intends to do his part towards breaking up petty thievery in Adams county and when guilt is proven he does not hesitate to administer punishment sufficient to make the convicted remember it. Three men who confessed Saturday were given terms in the penal farms and fines that will make chicken stealing , any thing but profitable for some time. The only way to stop crime 1 is to punish offenders and the judge evidently is in earnest from his talk to the men when he pronounced sentence. Elections will be held in many cities tomorrow and the results will be watched by those interested in the politics of the nation. The figures will be studied to show which way the winds are blowing for next year's contest and then also the congressmen chosen tomorrow will decide whether democrats or republicans will organize congress next month. As it stands now the lineup is 214 democrats and 213 republicans and one farm-er-laborite, with five vacancies to be filled. —a * ■ ♦ ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS j I Below are the answers to the t test questions printed on page two • 4 1.

For 21 years Cook toiled under-j ground in the mine pits. There ■ he was first awakened to the need! for organization of relief for miners and their families. A mine slide killed the man working next ■ to him. He never forgot the shock of that violent death or the , tragedy in the miner’s home. He educated himself, joined in ] the early movement for trade unions, and. soon after his mar-', riage, became a minor official of the union. Cook was violent in his langI uage. relentless in his endeavor. ’ a man miners liked and respected. ■ 1 In 1918 he was put In jail for ac-‘ 11 tivities as an agitator, but by that 11 time he had become a confirmed disciple of Marx and Lenin.

ers of Britain considered him a “wrecker" and the mine owners feared him as a revolutionary. In the general strike he adopted a poiicy of “not a penny off the pay; not a second on the day." He stuck to it through one of the most disastrous periods of labor conflict in Britain's history. Due chiefly to Cook's efforts the labor unions endangered the governmental system in Britain by the strike. Then with the community threatened, the workers went bask to their jobs. Cook raved and threatened but the peak of his power had passed. In 1929, when the Prince of Wales was devoting particular attention to the plight of unemployed miners, the "emperor” and the British heir walked arm in arm through a mining district. The “emperor” told the prince he was a great fellow and had done wonders for the miners. ——■ —o EVIDENCE WILL INVOLVE MAYOR I (CONTINUED FROM "NE' in letters from Marion citizens and one Marion city official.

SIMMONS FOR MURDERS — CCNTINUED FORM PAGE ONE, i tions for the first few days following the crime, he asked: “Where ! else could she have been permitted (to go to her home in another coun:ty and r main there until after I the funeral?” Scifres hammered steadily upon I the point that "Mrs. Simmons ad- | mits making those sandwiches, Which were found to l>e poisoned, , and she passed them at the picnic.” Early in bis argument Scifres .turned upon the defense attempt to link Horace Jackson, brother-in- | law of the defendant’s husband, in | the case. | “Who dares say Jackson is guilty of this crime?” he shouted. I "Because of Jackson's unfortunate [past the defense, hard put to for an alibi, turned upon him.” Scifres attempted to show that the Simmons and Jackson families were "the best of friends. Jackson is the best brother-in-law John ! Simmons has,” Scifres said. “If (Simmons had told the truth on the i witness stand, and we didn't ex- [ pect him to, he would have udmitt[cd that he and Jackson were not enemies.” In support of the long line of circumstantial evidence introduced by the prosecution, Scifres said i that “the very nature of the crime precluded possibility of witnesses iof positive evidence,” A poisan murderer, he said, acts in secrecy. IHe then read excerpts from supreme court rulings in substanti- ' axion of verdiets returned in cir- . cumstantial evidence cases. To show that he believed the 1 slate's evidence to be conclusive, Scifres brought his argument to a ( 1 semi-climax with the remark to the I .‘jury: “If you cannot see through' the dust and camoflague thrown up iby the defense in this case, then ■ the state better quit trying to con- ; vict violators of the nation's crim- - ■ iual laws.”

LAVAL IS BACK FROM ILS. VISIT French Premier Says He Is Confident In “Keeping Faith” Lellavre, France. Nov. 2 <U.R) — Premier Pierre Laval relurned loday from the United States, voicing his confidence that ‘'France will keep the faith” on plans foi international collaboration discuss-1 ed at Washington. He announced his plans to arrange an international conference on reparations revision early in December. Hailed by a blare of I jands and shouts of a crowd that cheered him as a conquering hero, the swart, smiling premier landed on French soil with the knowledge tha' he had firmly upheld the: policies of his government abroad. I “The conversations in Washington accomplished more than I had ( hoped for." Laval said as he land-i ed at the flag-bedecked quay | where a crowd on holiday because ( of Memorial day and AU Saints; day had gathered in the bright sunshine. “Primarily the conversations resulted in. mutual agreement for! consultation before political action, in the future. This will permit . France liberal action in Europe. “I want to assure Americans | that France will keep the faith. I‘ will personally invite parliament' to take the initiative possibly in | audacious measures for rapproch- i ment with Germany, and in other' steps to rehabilitate Europe. Pres- ( ident Hoover stressed, and I agree ( that recovery depends on helping Germany to get on her feet. “France is willing to go far. She I asks only the loyal efforts ofi Germany. if it is decided that the reparations burden is too: great, France is willing to con-1 verse in an effort to reduce all I inter-governmental debts (all int-er-governmental debts include war debts owed the United States.) [ But I must stress that France and ( Belgium must be paid in full for ( the material damages of the war., "France also must be allowed toi judge her own security requirements.” The lie De Franxe had a rough crossing from New York but the' weather was bright and clear as it put into LeHavre with the' premier’s party. including his daughter, Mlle.

There he will report immediately to President Paul Doumer and his cabinet FILES DEMURER TO CHARGES OF LAW VIOLATION CONTINUED FROM PACF ONE ed by five counsel and carrying his < ruteli. He .entered a rear door, arriving before the door was unlocked. He expressed a fear of not finding a seat, lint was assured that a seat would be awaiting him. His counsel, Robert H. McNeill, was joined at the last minute by Harry N. Nice, of Baltimore, a prominent attorney and former candidate for governor. Nice is the son of a Methodist preacher, and is a republican. Filing of the demurrer is expected to have the effect of delaying the bishop's trial, even though the demurrer is not sustained, considerably. If the demurrer is sustained the case, in the usual order, will be thrown out of court. If it is denied after argument the bishop then can appeal to the district appellate court and to the United States Supreme court, and decisions must be renderetl against him by those bodies before his case can be called for trial.

Nov. 2 —(U.R)— Reports that two legs of an important siphon in the Jawbone section of the Los Angeles aqueduct had been dynamited today sent authorities into the Mojave desert country through which the water ! supply of the city is carried by ; aqueduct from the high Sierra mountains. Officials of the water department said they were reluctant to believe the dynamiting reports until a complete investigation had been made. They said two sections of the big conduit apparently had collapsed from some cause. The siphon burst during the night, but the Las Angeles water ( supply did not suffer greatly bel cause most of the flow in the 1 Jawbone section already had been j diverted. —o SPECIAL NIGHT DEVOTION SET (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) I As the Father knoweth me and 1 know the Father; and I lay down I my life for my sheep”.
