LLOYD GEORGE OFF ON CANADA TOUR AFTER BUSY DAY British War Premier Feted and Honored by Cheering Thousands in N. Y. BY LAWRENCE MARTIN Vnited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—After less than twenty-four hours In New York —most of them very strenuous hours —Lloyd George left this morning for Montreal on the second lap of hi tour of the United States and Canada. The first lap ended last midnight when the little Welsh dynamo retired after a day crammed with Incidents, including two speeches, a triumphal procession through the city, a luncheon, two audiences with the press and a musical play, where he attracted more attention than the actors. Seven and a half hours sleep sufficed. At 7:30 a. m. Lloyd George was up, eager to get on with his trip. The train is due to reach Montreal at 9:50 p. m. A daylight trip was arranged so the former British permier could see the Hudson river palasades. West Point, the Adirondack mountains and other points of interest en route. Roy Howard Provides The keynote of Lloyd George’s speeches on the American continent is believed to have been sounded in his address at the luncheon tendered by the board of directors of the United - J ress in the Hotel Biltmore. Roy W. Howard, chairman of the V-oard, presided. Lloyd George was introduced by Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war. A large Budlence of publishers and editors heard the address. Lloyd George, standing against a background of American and British flags, his face illumined by the sunllight streaming through a window "made an appeal for unity of the nations ir. peace as'in war. Draws Dramatic Picture Drawing a dramatic picture of the allied situation at the time America entered the World War— Russia, Roumania and Serbia crushed, the others “terribly lacerated” —he said, "then you came in and I am here to say—thank you.” But the great problem now is the problem of peace. Europe is in a desperate condition, he emphasized. The war destroyed currency, exchange and confidence, but the hatreds remained. Europe now is arming through sheer fear. If the nations were united, he said, the problems would still be difficult, but they could be solved very much more rapidly. He said he was sanguine that in a very short time “the clouds will clear, the skies will brighten and Europe as well as America will be able to acclaim the great gospel of peace on earth and good will among men.” In the evening Lloyd George, with Dame Margaret Lloyd George and their daughter, Meegan, occupied a box at the Music Box Revue. The Welshman evidently enjoyed every minute of the show. He laughed-heartily and clapped with vigor. Between the acts the audience cheered him so continuously calling "speech” that he was forced to rise and make a few remarks. I Grateful for Applause W He said he was grateful but It would be a shame to make the people listen to a speech when there was so much better entertainment on the stage. About this time Charlie Chaplin was discovered In the audience and attention thereafter was divided between the statesman and the movie comedian. Lloyd George was cheered wherever he went in New York. Hundreds of thousands of peopli saw him. The streets around the Biltmore were blocked while he was inside at the United Press luncheon and a great throng stood around the Waldorf fnr hours. Following his tour of Canada Lloyd George will visit the United States, coming to Indianapolis, Oct. 22. CHAPLIN SAYS ACTOR IS STEALING HIS STUFF Comedian Takes Shoes, rants and Derby to Court for Injunction. By Vnited LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 6. Charlie Chaplin took his baggy pants, funny shoes and trick derby to court today to prove he should be the only one to wear them. Chaplin has petitioned for an Injunction preventing Charles Amador, an alleged imitator, from "stealing his stuff” in comedies. Two of Amador’s films now are held up by an injunction secured by Chaplin.

Hair Nets Bobbed Haired Girls at Teachers’ College Must Wear 'Em Overshoes a Necessary Equipment, So Budding Instructors Look to Their Galoshes.

HY—why—l—i—it just blew out the window.” -—J “I had one just a mihute ago, but—” reaching toward her bobbed raven locks —"It must have dropped off.” "I caught mine on a low hanging limb over on Alabama St. and tore it off.” Tors what off? Hair net. It took place in a classroom at Teachers' College of Indianapolis. Budding young candidates for the engrossing task of shaping the youthful mind of Indiana in proper channels were undergoing daily hair net inspection. Honest to Goodness Yes, they have it. Honest. Take the word of several students who discussed their first few weeks in college. Mrs. Eliza Blaker, president, announced the regulation in chapel the other day. If the young ladies must have their hair bobbed, they can’t have it flying all over creation at T. C. I. No ma’am. Bobbed ones who come to class without a hair net will be sent out until the next period. That was the ultimatum. Drug stores in the neighborhood had a hair net run the next day. Manager of a chain grocery near-by almost wept with joy. He was selling ’em for a nickel. Instructors checked up. Shorthaired young women with permanent waves—they cost s2s—carried hair nets in sweater pockets until within sight of the college building. Then they put them on. Classes over, back went the nets to pockets, it is said. Watch Their Step T. C. girls, hair nets or no, must not be seen on a certain downtown strPet after dark without a chaperone. And now they’ve got something else to add to the college complex— Mrs. Blaker decreed in chapel that every last one of the five hundred students must have overshoes. Are galoshe’s In style this sea son? That’s the momentous question. Students can have social engagements only on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. But the girls are loyal. T. C. I. Is the best teachers’ school in the Middle "West, they say, and discipline is necessary. BRICK THROwING~AGAIN Cleaning Establishment Manager Reports Incident. Police renewed search for rock hurlers today. Charles Clements, manager of the O. K. Cleaners, 1436 E. Tenth St., told police that a brick bounded off the side of the building about 7 p. m. Friday. He said it did no damage and when he ran to the door he could see no one.

LOCAL MAN lELLS OF CONDITIONS IN KENTUCKYPRISON Convicts Used to Order Chicken Dinners From Hotels, He Says, ■ "If they'd substitute personal methods for the bullets they’re wasting tney might get some place,” said C. W. Jenkins, 2426 Brookside Pkwy.. v.ho for tour years was broom work foreman in the Eddyvllle, Ky., prison where three “lifers” barricaded in a kitchen have %eUI guards at bay for days. "After all, every man has a heart, anddf the men were made to see they will be killed surely If they remain, and if they are promised they will rot be shot, I think they’d surrender.” said Jenkins. “The guards often used to befriend prisoners, and it may be that the break away resulted from the men taking advantage of a friendly guard. It would be easy for the men to get ammunition from the outside. Chicken dinners were ordered from a hotel outside. Inspection at the* gates often was superficial. Guards and employes were rarely searched or suspected of Intrigue *ith prisoners. “They might possibly have started to tunnel their way out. There were no guards inside the enclosure. At dusk, movement within the walls was easy. Prisoners are always rushed to the cell house In case of darkness from storm or fog because of this fact."
