•ORLD LEAGUE (OFFICE IN PARIS \ BECOMES QUIET Surroundings Shabby and No 1 One Seems to Be in | Charge. |fEEDS AMERICAN ZIP By NEWTON C. PARKE, )iaJT Correspondent of the International News Service. PARIS. March 31.—Whatever the merjls of the Jeagne of nations, its Paris ■ffice has none of the appearances of branch bureau of a successful going Acer*. >i* ptet many a twist and turn the chan reef swings you sharply downhill in a ; irre-v, dirty street, the Rue Pauquet, the Etolle. The league of nations, Paris office, is located at No. 10, in what was once an apartment house, me dwellers probably fed before the invasion of small shops that sprung P across the street. The league of nations' nearest neigh i.or is Albert Kocher. Albert Is a butc - er iust across the street, and outside his shop hang large slabs of veal and beef and around it swarm clusters of flies. WINK SHOP ONLY

FEW STEFS AWAY. It Is only a good hop, skip andjurap from the league of nations to Henri Pea marsal’s wine shop. Forty t*t from the door Is a small bar patronized by chauffeurs and janitors in the neighborhood. Cheap crockery stores and cobblers shop. All the rest of the block. The first thing that greets.your eye upon entering the League ofNntlom building is a rug with a hole as b- ., man’s head in the center. The <arpet on the winding staircase is threadbare and dirty. Half way up the first flight of stairs a square of stained glass been knocked ont of a window and dis tlngulshed visitors, peering through the hole *nav see family washings suspended from clotheslines in an Inner courtyard.

SECOND FLOOR EMPTY AS TOMB. The second floor is as empty as a tomb onlv worn-out telephone apparatus ; strung about the floor and a cheap pine table sitting in the hallway on dilapl dated legs that threaten to give way under the least pressure. You can knock at any door in the long ball without getting a response. The league begins to come to lire on the third floor. In the reception hall is A second-hand table holding a telephone Jftstrument, two pens, an ash tray and He butts cf three cigars. Still no one H sight. a door opens and a little girl emerges. ■"Yes. this is the Faris office of the Hague of nations," she says. “Who's in mharge? I really don't know. Everyone Fis over in London. There's nobody home Loday."

JAIL SCANDAL ‘UP TO MILLER’ (Continued From Page One.) with their friends and families in Indianapolis or surrounding cities. Otto H. Sprong, formerly assistant postmaster at Richmond, Ind., said he arrived In jail with only $1.30 to Ills name and that he was charged $1 of this amount for his bed. Leslie Sanders, minister, confined for misuse of the mails, said that fruit other than apples was not permitted at the jail because the keepers feared that someone might smuggle a saw inside of such foodstuffs. Sanders further complained of violent profanity used by jail guards and said the food was deplorable. THEFTS FROM MAIL ALLEGED. Charges that mall was rifled and money and food stolon from packages were made during the course of the Investigation. Jack Gagen said he had seen the guard, Van Cleave, open packages sent to prisoners by mall and eat the food they contained. Walter Haag said he had lost several letters sent to him containing money and stated that all letters received had been opened. Albert Moore, former Terre Haute polict man, said he had saved up $1(1 earned | by cleaning cuspidors at the jail and for- I warded the amount to his wife by a spe- j

I cial delivery letter. He said the letter was turned ov*r to j Frank Kemp, guard, and that it never j reached his wife. I Mark Storen, United States marshal, | was placed on the stand yesterday afterj noon and said he had received persistent i complaints concerning the conduct of the I Jail. | Mr. Storen said that last fall, after receiving complaints of bribery, he j had conducted an Investigation before Sheriff Miller and that as a result three guards were disrharged, the only one retained nt the time being ‘‘Unele Charlie” White sell. “Uncle Charlie” was said by prisoners to be ono of the most abusive guards in the Jail. They said he was In the habit of making stump speeches from a box or table and of threatening them with the ‘‘Black Hole” or the “IT. 8. Row.” JUDGE TO ENFORCE JAIL CONTRACT. It developed that the county Jail Is not the only Institution available for the confinement of federal prisoners. Judge Anderson said he had received many requests that United States prisoners be sent to the penal farm, but stated that as the county commissioners were under contract with the government and that the sheriff was sworn to certain duties at the jail, he would sec to It that the contract was carried out. Sheriff Miller's attorney explained to the court that his client was ready to cooperate with the government during the investigation, but did not put any of

the jail keepers on tne stand to refute the testimony of prisoners. The government pays 60 cents per day for feeding each man. The maximum cost of the daily grub menu at the Jail was estimated at 20 rents per day per man by Clifton O’Neil, ex-army cook. Albert Moore told the court that bones for soup were purchased at the rate of 65 cents per hundred pounds. These bones, he said, were beaten with a hatchet until the marrow was extracted for making soup, and then sold for 60 cents per hundred pounds. Several prisoners said they could not eat the grub served at the jail and existed on supplies purchased at exorbitant prices. The only variation In the meals was said to have been on Sunday, when a mulligan stew was served as a combined dinnbr and supper. It is expected that further sensations concerning the jail scandal will be re-

l .Bull v P- I I What Do You Think? A man recently wrote us in part as follows: “No doubt the Hurst four-leaf clover is worth a million dollars or uore.” “Your slogan is all right; keep the Hurst name before them.” Another man recently wrote us in part as follows: “There are five kinds of groceries. You handle the best three grades. When you send your grocery catalogue let people know you handle the best.” Asa matter of fact, there are five grades of canned fruits, and we handle only the best three grades, and never the two cheaper, and since there are more of the two cheaper than of the two better grades on the market somebody buys a lot of cheap groceries, but not of Hurst & Company. Everybody knows that there is a limited amount of extra fancy peaches or any other fruit. One of the chief reasons for our remarkable growth is the fact that we adhere strictly to the above rule and are supplying the . people with the extra fancy, fancy and standard grades, and never handle the two inferior grades. This fact is no doubt well known to the customer, and that is the reason why he thinks our four-leaf clover trade mark is worth a million dollars. Whether it is worth *more or less, one thing is certain when you buy groceries or canned goods under the Hurst four-leaf Hover, double standard trade mark, you won’t be able to buy anything better, no matter whose label is on the can. At first thought our prices might lead some people to think that our groceries are not. the very best quality obtainable because our prices are considerably below the usual retail prices on extra fancy groceries, but this is not the fact. We cordially invite the housewives of this city and elsewhere who are not satisfied with anything but the best quality obtainable, when it comes to providing the food for their families to put us to the test and see whether or not we are furnishing the public with as good merchandise as can be had _ anywhere else in this city and at a great deal less price than the same high grades can be purchased from any other source. Our grocery department is on the first floor and is so arranged as to make shopping easily and quickly done. If you are anew customer you will enjoy trading at this store, but you will not hesitate to phone your wants after you once become a customer, because, like thousands of our permanent customers, you will learn to know that any merchandise stamped with the four-leaf clover is just as good as you can buy anywhere, and that it costs you less than if bought elsewhere. Call at our large department store, Pennsylvania and Georgia streets, and make this your shopping center on the cash-and-carry basis. We guarantee you perfect satisfaction and you will save money. , If you have an unusually large order, or for any reason it is not convenient to take the merchandise along, we make delivery with our own trucks anywhere in the city for a charge of 25 cents per order regardless of size. Groceries is only one of the necessities that you will find in the Hurst Store. We have complete departments of dry goods, gents’ furnishings, shoes for the whole family, auto, accessories, paint, hardware and almost everything else used on the farm or in the home. We are a home company, organized to supply the people with the necessities of life on the most scientific and economical basis possible. Our customers in this city number many thousands, hundreds of them among the most prominent people* here, and besides we are shipping merchandise into almost every state in the Union. Our purchasing power is unequaled and our method of distribution is the most economical. Our merchandise is backed by the strong- ' ) est guarantee ever written, and we cordially invite those who have never given us a Jrial to do so. We guarantee to please you and save you money.
