HARDING TAKES UP LEAGUE ISSUE Nominee Breaks Silence to Discuss Stand. MARION, 0., July 14.—A1l conference* asked by party leaders with Nominee Warren G. Harding are being postponed while the senator prepares his speech of acceptance. None of the national leaders is expected In Marion now until the notification ceremonies, July 22. Thus far the senator has not denied himself to any one, although the steady stream of visitors has delayed greatly the completion of the speech of acceptance, wnich is not likely to be ready now before early next week. The senator broke his announced purpose not to talk issues until after his official notification by isssulng yesterday a statement concerning the intention of Cox and Roosevelt to make the league of nations the paramount issue in their campaign. “We gladly accept the challenge," said the senator. “We are more than willing to make the election a national referendum on the question whether we shall have four years more of democratic readiness to surrender this republic.” "President Wilson has forced acceplp&nce by the democratic candidates of his paramount issue,” said the senator, "although the party machinery has been taken over by the Tammanies of New York, New Jersey and Indiana. “The president is concerned only with the vindication of his foreign policy by his party and if possible, by the country,” he continued. “With the democratic party harnessed to the ratification of the league without protection to American interests, the league would be ratified should the democrats win.” the senator asserted, “and America would become at once a party to the twenty-odd wars now going on in the world. “America would have to contrlbue its army and navy.”

BARBERS FORM NEW WAGE BASIS Will Ask $23 Weekly Guarantee and Ten-Hour Day. Demands for increased wages and shorter hours were formulated at a meeting last night of the union barbers of the city. They will ask the boss barbers for a guarantee of $25 a week and 60 per cent of all the business in excess of $35 a week as compared with the SIS a week guarantee and 60 per cent of all business in excess of S2S a week in effect at the present time. They will demand a ten-hour work day •instead of the eleven and one-half-hour day of the present and a thirteen-hour Saturday instead of the fourteen and one-half hours that they work at the present time. The present agreement between the barbers and the boss oarbers expires on July 22, and the demands formulated at the meeting will then be pressed. Already some of the downtown shops are charging 25 cents for a shave and 50 cents for a hair cut, but boss barbers say If the new demands of the barbers are met it will mean a 35-cent shave and a 65-cent harir cut.

Here is a “family group” picture of Mile. Olga Celeste and some of her leopards. Mile. Olga for various reasons would rather have the friendship of her pets than their painful scratches, but she receives both.

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. A maiden in love for centuries has pulled the petals of a flower one by one as she murmured, “He loves me, he loves me not." That is not the way Mile. Olga Celeste measures the love of her five beautiful leopards. Mile. Olga exhibited a number of scratches and scars of former deep claw wounds on her arms. “Ah, they love me so,” she said. “An animal has to make himself felt before you are sure that he loves you.” While she was speaking we were walking to a cage on the back stage of the Lyric where Sappho, one of the most

Not being accustomed to such greetings, 1 stopped a safe and respectable distance from the cage, but Mile. Olga put l\er band through the cage and Instantly Sappho was all “smiles,” the growl changed into “purring” as the big leopard rolled contentedly about as the trainer patted Sappho. “She is so sweet," said the famous animal trainer. “See how she purrs.” It might be purring, but to my untrained'ear that “sweet purring” sounded

more like the rumble of a battle drum. It Is remarkable the effect that Mile. Olga has on her five pets—Sappho, Tiny, Queenie, Olga and Kelly. From another cage came a sharp, cruel and altogether uninviting growl. It was Kelly, a huge ieopard, who was weaving back and forth behind his prison bars. “That's Kelly,” said the trainer. “He> true Irish, fighting all the time.” These leopards have all acted before the Selig camera and appeared In the serial, “The Adventures of Kathleen,” Mile. Olga explained. The trainer herself in the Jungle scenes has often “doubled” In the movies for
