EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 21.—A pretty little drama was enacted in ; front of the police station here late Wednesday afternoon, which gives . added proof that the course of true love never did run smooth. A young man whose nrtne was npt asked by the police, had been ehgaged to a young woman, whose identity was also waived. In the midst of his happiness the girl had seen fit to Inform her hus-band-to-be that she had reconsidered and that their engagement ended. , Wednesday afternoon the young man saw the flower of his heart riding In a machine with another man. He climbed aboard the ijutomobile and refused, at the request of the driver, to leave. The machine was driven to the police station, where the irreconcilable lover was ordered to dismount. As the machine drove on he drew his handkerchief from his pocket, lowered his head, dried hip eyes and sadly left the scene.

PRO LEAGUERS CONVERT MANY PACTENEMIES (Continued From Page One.) ■ along with the Democrats, stand and I raise your hand.” Fifteen voters, a few women, raised to ; their feet and were cheered. William Fogarty presided over the meeting and first introduced Secretary j of War Newton I*. Baker. “Some permanent way must be devised to aid the peace of the world and I am sure the former service men, v as well as their families, In this gathering will agree with me,” said Mr. Baker In opening his renjarksi “Anti-war societies of this country proposed the League of Nations to President Wilson, and William Howard Taft was one of the leaders of the movement, and now you people of this country want the controversy settled as you have promoted its welfare,” said Mr. Baker. “The allies accepted President Wilson's statements and the enemy surrendered upon the conations o's the fourteen points set forth hy our President. “The acceptance of that surrender was on our good faith that there would be a league of nations. * “The American troops could have made a separate peace with Germany had they wished, when the Hun airmen dropped propaganda ever the lines telling the Americans it was no place for them and that Germany would make a separate peace with them If they would withdraw. “Senator Harding has an Idea about an associated society of nations, but is quoted as saying he had not a single constructive idea regarding the league. SAYS SOLDIERS COULD MARK TRACE. “Now, if he wants to make a separato peace, why didn’t the American troops do so—because they were fighting for an ideal, which they gained honorably—let us not lose It dishonorably. “The Senate tried to make the people believe that the President killed the treaty. ! “When he sent it to them It was alive and pulsating with the Ideals for which 1 our soldiers died, and when the Senate returned It it was dead.” “I am not pleading for President Wilson, but for the Lengue of Nations." "If Harding is elected he will be my President, but I hope he Is not elected. “Yet, if he is, I will not be found stabbing him in the back," said Mr. I Baker. , “If we don't go into the League of Nations,” said Mr. Baker, “ail the world i will be interested In the Ignited States I as the strongest armed country in the world. “And we would have to be. "If we do go Into the league all nations of the world will be with us. “The league is now working on one leg, expatriating prisoners, fighting typhus in the Far East, and aiding each othef like brothers. “It we go Into the league it will walk i along on both legs, and with plenty of strength.” | “The League of Nations Is the greatest I bit of work ever accomplished and Presl- ! dent Wilson Is our greatest statesman,” said Mr. Baker.

- , ; Woman Strangled by Belt in Short Fall SUPERIOR, Wls., Oct 21.— Mrs. John Bodin, 45, was strangled to death here today when the belt of her drees caught around her neck as she fell off a porch at her home, V, I '■ ~ 1 Wood, when *at the national convention In Chicago he saw Senator James E.! Watson railroaded Into line to preserve order- and organization In the party, regardless of demands of former service men and that action sent him, and several other Republicans from the hall— , gobd Defffocruts. DEMOCRACY ONLY SOLDIERS’ FRIEND. He sahl the only two pieces of legls--. lation concerning soldiers was done by Democratic committees, the war risk insurance act and the rehabilitation act anl that the Republicans yet had to do something for former service men. E. J. Sexton served as temporary chairman before the speakers arrived and introduced James W. Mellon, vice presl- | dent of the Soldiers’ Democratic League, j Mellon Is 21 yenra old. "Shall America finish up the tnsk she began when she ] sent her boys across the seas, or shall she be termed a nation of quitters?” was the keynote sounded by the Pro-League speak* *s at the Propylaemn. “Party loyalty 1s now a sin,” declared Irving Fisher of Yale University, the principal speaker, “for this is no ordl- j nary campaign.” His speech was meant for Republicans ] rather than Democrats, he said. Mr. Fisher asserted the League of Nntlons is the greatest of nil political issues, as great as the Civil War, and must be decided on policies -which are souud and not on party lines. “The league has been misrepresented and misunderstood, and the covenant has been carefully suppressed from the Republican campaign book *o that onl} caricatures are presented to the people,' he declared. "The league now exists with forty-throe nations, which have Joined without reservations, as members.” Mr. Fisher said he had never known any .candidates to make such a wide straddle as Senator Harding and get away with it. Tie pointed out that article 10 was the Monroe Doctrine extended to the whole i world. He gave three reasons why the United States should Join the lengue, namely: To finish up what has been left from i the war. to lesson International competl- | tlon of armament, to prevent future wars. FORMER REPUBLICANS | GIVE TALKS. An appeal to the women in the audience to vote tor the league with a noni partisan view was made by Mr*. Anua Mcllvalne of New Jersey, who gave a short account of her experience In the war regions In France, j “I am a Republican," said Capt. I Thomas Chamberlalive of New York | City, "and is It too much to ask you to ! consent to try something which we have’ | come to believe will prevent war?" “You have made a solemn and sacred | promise to four million soldiers who : went to war for ’democracy,’ and now | you propose to keep company with revo ! lutlonary Mexico. Bolihevist Russia and | unspeakable Turkey." Capt. Chamberlain* termed a separate ! peace with Germany, as proposed by Senj ator Harding, a "cowardly proposal" to ' ) “disgraceful, degrading and dishonest I peace.” I Herbert Parsons of New York City, formerly Republican national commltteei man, and for many year* known as a j "red hot” Republican, declared tho only I way to get the league would be to tot (for Cox because It cannot be trusted In ! Ihe hand* of Its enemies. f f ”1 hire always been for a Teague of ■ Nations even before President Wilson | made hi* first draft,” said Mr. Parsons. I ’jit Is a monstrous sin to take life when | it is possible to get Justice without taking it, and it Is our duty to unite w^tfi

the rest of the world to preserve world peace.” _ \ Mr. Parsons declared the “compromise” plank Inserted in the Republican platform was one which nobody could understand, the interpretation of which had to be left to Senator Harding. Mr. Parsons' branded Senator Harding's discussion In his speech of acceptance at Martou a3 “irreverent toward a sacred cause.” He declared Elihu Root’s speech Tuesday did not contain a single constructive j suggestion which was not in the league now, and that the trouble with him i.s that “lie has picked out the pro-league portions of Senator Harding’s speeches, 1 therefore calling the Senator consistent’ , “Tills Is the only chance In our lives that we can vote for the league, and remember that four years from now we will be nearer a worse war than the la3t one,” he warned.

McCray testified that he had expended considerable time and money In promoting this railroad project. All the negotiations concerning the settlement were conducted by McCray with the New Y’ork Central. Exhibits in the case show that officials of the/ New Y"ork Central were anxious to get the claim out of the way. Yet Taylor, alone, had to fight the case through the courts In a trial In which McCray, under oath, belittled the merits of the claim, declared there waa no property involved that amounted to anything and said* he had no money to put into a lawsuit even to recover what he hud already expended. Then just before the Judgment was paid an Interpleader thht might explain much was filed and disappeared. * McCray, under oath, declared that he never received a dollar of money or stock from the Indldtaa Harbor company, the Indiana Harbor Railroad Company, or the Chicago, Indiana & Southern Company. Taylor got $11,261.67 by pushing * salt whb-h McCray would not push. The New York Central lines, with whom McCray negotiated for the Taylor-McCray-Kent partnership, paid the Taylor Judgmeitf. The interpleader filed with the New York Central when the only question bebefore the court waa satisfaction* of the judgment, has disappeared. Affidavits concerning the case are held in secret by the J. W. Fesler adherent*. --And Warren T.
