"it Is the name grounds used in previous filings but the former i suits never presented the angle i that the defendant was denied l equal protection under law," Smith , said. "Stephenson has exhausted practically all methods of appeal. A I writ of error coram nobis, which amounts to a petition for a new , trial, is about the only one left. This writ for habeas corpus is sought on constitutional grounds.” Stephenson always has claimed that he was "framed" by polltica l | enemies and has carried his tight for freedom to the state supreme } court. The state high court affirmed the Hamilton county conviction , January 19, 1933. It the habeas corpus petition is sustained. Stephenson will be granted immediate freedom.

Among the groups fleeing Aby-v---elnia were said to he many children of mixed parentage, who were being educated at the Maria Della Consollata convent. An Italian official, the dispatch said, explained that the children of mixed Italian and Abyssinian blood were regarded as important "because they are the future mothers of a new, nobler generation that is going to inhabit the country. tHnt was called Abyssinia." Officials close to Emperor Haile Selassi I were quoted as saying: “We await an Italian attack at any moment, and we are ready to fight to the last man. We are informed that the Italians are concentrating troops and airplanes and tanks along the Eritrean and Italian Somaliland frontiers.” Abyssinia’s delegates to the

f— ——- - — I Try “Moonlighting" Your Garden '-g wlff ' The.gardan become* a veritable fairyland T of'light end, artistically lighted at night.

By Ethel Quaintance AS easily as a gardener floats a new lily in his pool or transplants perennials, and more easily than he makes a new planting plan for his flower borders, he can now light his garden for precious additional sight-seeing hours at night. In fact, one of the very methods of lighting is the floating of a lily in a pool. This one is artificial, however, of metal painted so realistically that it slips in unnoticed among the other green pads. Beneath is attached a 60-w?.tt watertight bulb, with watertight socket and plug molded to 12 feet of heavy duty rubber, cord. Beautiful To See And thereupon the pool, if it Is from six to ten feet in diameter, is illuminated in milllon-dollar beauty for the price of a straw hat! A larger pool requires several of the lily pads The final touch to such a lovely night picture is reflectors silhouetting the tall grasses or gleaming on urns or statues which may be at the pool’s edge. - * "But how can I provide electric current In my garden?” is the average gardener's first thought. The trick is done with several lengths of 15-foot watertight extension cord brought from a basement or ruptured conciliation conference at Scheveningen. Netherlands, intended to leave today. Paris reported that the French government-' remained unwilling to risk its new friendship with Italy by joining Great Britain in further efforts to persuade Benito i Mussolini not to attack. Geneva, home of the league of nations, expressed no hope that any solution was in sight for the j dispute. o— Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

11/ \ ■ wMUB I Columbines Make Handsome Arrangements Indoors It has often been suggested that the columbine might well be selected as the American flower because it grows in every state as a native. Whether this is strictly true or not. some species or variety of this handsome hardy perennial is found in all the northern and western states and even extends into Mexico. However, it is also a native of Europe and Asia, which make* it inappropriate as a strictly national flower. Because of its grace and beauty both of flower and foliage it deserves a place in every garden. It is an obliging plant, and while I many species are naturally shade loving they grow equally well in

garage socket Into the garden. - A three-way terminal provides additional handy plugs. Once garden lighting is started, there are a number of lovely schemes to add for the aesthetic joy they will brtng^one'a.family and guests. Idea to Try A bird bath, for example, with lights concealed in a luminous pedestal and reflecting their glow on surrounding flower beds and shrubbery. Or ’ an ornamental pylon, in World's Fair style, with bulbs at the back which may be adjusted to direct their light on the landscape beyond In whatever pattern the gardener may choose.' This is striking whea placed at-the end of a long vista, or close to an archway. » Even part of a majestic tree,’ pride of the household, might be handsomely illuminated in a melody of light and leafy shadow with several reflectors. or floodlights playing upon it. It all boils down to experimenting yourself (as what gardener I does not dote on doing!) until you have created a handsome picture of light .and landscape in your night-time garden, thereby claiming from a too-busy and rushing world many additional. hours of keen visual enjoyment.

full sun. Its one dislike is too dry quarters although it manages to survive much drought. It is one of the few plants that show red, blue and yellow co’oring with scores of tints and shades. The long-spurred hybrids, of which there a.re numerous strains, are the favorites, having displaced the old-fashioned short-spurred type. These long-spurred varieties with their great range of coloring are derived from the blue a.nd white Rocky Mountain columbine, the golden columbine of California and a long-spurred red and yellow type from Mexico to a great extent. They are very easily raised from seed and are much used in color schemes, particularly with irises when the color of the iris is either matched , with columbines ot used in a harmony of pleasing contrast. The seed is slow to germinate but certain. It requires from three weeks to a month to come up. It should be sown about a quarter of an inch deep and the soil should be firmly packed over the seed. This hastens germination and is a precaution that should not be omitted in sowing columbine seed. There are handsome dwarf species from Europe for the rock garden such as the alpine columbine. Aquilegia. glaudulosa. a difficult sort to grow, but it has counterpart in Aquilegia Helenae that is easy to grow anil gives the same coloring.

PLATFORM HITS THE HEW DEAL G. O. P. Leaders Os Six States End Conference At Cleveland Cleveland. July 10. —(UR) — Republican leaders of a six-state ajea returned home to start the 1936 election campaign today after a regional conference in which the Democrats were scored from every angle a.nd a platform was adopted calling for immediate cash payment of the bonus and adoption of a federal anti-lynching law. Approximately 1,000 delegates from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia attended the Republican crusaders congress, promoted by former State Senator | George H. Bender in defiance ol opposition from party higher-ups. Controversy between the "old | guard” and "liberal” factions of the party was apparent from the start, particularly in the Pennsylvania delegation. The plajform as finally adopted was a mixture of conservative and liberal doctrines. The platform lambasted the new deaj, particularly the agricultural and Tennessee valley programs; it called for a balanced budget, sound currency, protective tariff, and then borrowed a few planks from the Roosevelt program such as unemployment insurance, old age pensions, and abolition of child labor. The bonus and anti-lynch planks were Inserted from the floor. Little argument resulted from the bonus proposal, veterans among the delegates insisting on immediate cash payment plank and winning their point with little difficulty. The anti-'ynch proposal, however, caused prolonged argument. Active proponents of the plank argued that the party had lost thousands of negro votes in the last two elections and "unless we adopt this proposal we’ll never get them back.” W. D. McDowell of Detroit, member of the resolutions committee, argued that such a law would be unconstitutional and "would make the party the laughing stock of the nation.” He was seconded by Thomas J. Barrett of West Virginia, chairman of the committee. Neverth’ess, there was only a sprinkling of “noes” when the vote on adoption of the plank was taken. MANION TELLS CONTINUED FROM 1 AGE ONE national-state-reemployment service, were arranged by Manion to facilitate administration of the programs. He warned that (AO per cent of the 50,000 persons to be employed under th? fiew program must be taken I
