TEN WERE EXECUTED IN A. E. F. IN WAR PERIOD.

Paris, Sept. 5. —Nine soldiers of the American expeditionary force were hanged and one was shot for 'criminal offenses during the war, it was revealed yesterday at the in- . vestigation of A. E. F. courts-mar-jtial by the congressional committee {"inquiring into war expenditures. liTwo of the hangings were for murder, the investigation brought out. Seven men were hanged for assault, of whom six were negroes. There was a single execution for desertion. Murder trials totaled Ilf), resulting in sixty-two convictions. Onefifth of all the general courts-mar--1 tial tried officers and the remainder enlistment men and welfare workers. Most of the officers were charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Convictions resulted in 67 per cent of officers’ cases that went to trial. Seventyseven per cent of the men tried by general courtsmartial were found guilty. Only one conscientious objector was tried in the A. E. F. The investigation failed to establish that officers had received more lenient treatment than enlisted men in the A. E. F. courts-martial.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 5. President Wilson’s plan to stabilizeeconomic• conditions of sh e country through a conference of labor leaders, financiers and public’ «pirited men is seriously threatened unless he can bring about an adjustment of differences between organized steel workers and the United States Steel corporation, which refuses to recognize the,union. After a here with leaders of the steel and iron unions, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, telegraphed the president urging him to hasten action for an adjustment, declaring that the labor leaders had difficulty now in restraining a strike and could not hold the workers much .longer in view of the defiant and arrogant attitude of the steel corporation. • League of nations opponents in the senate determined today .to carry their fight to the public just as the president has done. A series of speaking trips has been mapped out, beginning in Chicago Sept. 10, where Senators Johns, Borah and McCormick will speak. These speakers will then strike out in different directions. —o ’ Secretary of Commerce Redfield has resigned from the cabinet and will resume business life in New York Nov. 1. It is reported the president may name a middle western man to succeed him, but the name of such a man has not been disclosed. Bernard Baruch, of New York, is also mentioned as a possible successor.

President Wilson’s first speeches to the country brought criticism in the senate today from Senators Sherman and Borah, the former likening them, to utterances of Louis XIV, who said “I am the state,” and the latter, recalling the president’s declaration that the United States, under the league covenant, “can mind other people’s business,” asserting that such a statement was an admission of truth about the league.

LAFAYETTE MAN JOINS LIST OF “SUCKERS.”

Lafayette, Ind., Sept. 5.-—Patrick J. Vaughan, age sixty-five, of tins city, has lost $25,000 as a result of the dealings of three men who represented themselves, as investment brokers and who induced him to invest in a fake stock promotion scheme. The affair was at Denver, while Mr. Vaughan recently was visiting in the west. After returning here and becoming convinced thafj he had been defrauded, he obtained the services of a local detective agency in an effort to find the swindlers. The police in several Colorado cities also are investigating the case. Mr. Vaughan, accompanied by a detective, went to Chicago yesterday in connection with the inquiry. (Mr. Vaughan says he met the alleged brokers in Colorado Springs. They introduced themselves as C. H. Holt, Robert Miller and William Miller. Horse racing was mentioned and Mr. Vaughan said he won $25 through a “tip” the men gave him. Stocks were the next business. This took them to Denver, where they all agreed to invest $25,000 in a venture, which they said would make them SIO,OOO a day. Mr. Vaughan approved the plan and had his bankers here forward this sum, which was turned over to Holt. Mr. Vaughan then returned here to await developments. The victim is a widely-known and wealthy farmer of Tippecanoe county and he formerly lived near Octagon. He removed to Lafayette about twelve years ago. Mr. Vaughan is the father-in-law of Salvatore Palma, a prominent contractor of this city.

GOLDEN LOAF IS REAL BREAD.

The busiest man in town is Ralph O’Riley. I know. I followed this young “dought maker” for twentyfour hours. O’Riley’s bread tastes like cake. That’s mostly because he bakes it himself. He begins at 3 o’clock in the morning and winds up about midnight. This boy deserves to prosper. He not only keeps up the quality of his product, but he .keeps down his overhead exdTiiiiy fho wr>rkJp.Tnself. Ralph has just purchased a nW Monroe outamobile. He expects to make more time getting down to work.—Hugh Kirk. ' Menu for cafeteria dinner to be given at the M. E. church Tuesday evening, September 9, at 5:30: Baked ham with horseradish 15c.
