G. O. P. WOMEN FIGHT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS Play Tea Table Politics and Burn Midnight Oil at Cleveland Convention,

By DOROTHY SHUMATE. Un'ted Seres Staff Correspondent CLL - Ohio, June 10 — Midnight oil burned freely in the woman’s camps at the national Republican convention Monday night. And today they had smoked out the political cave-men For all day long and far Into the night Republican women marshaled their forces for the greatest offensive movement that the party has yet known. The fifty-fifty battle is on and there is only one outcome —for women. They'll get it, they say, if they have to send the men back home. The question is how. CAUSE OF FRU[f WORKERS’ MALADY IS INVESTIGATED Oregon 'Medics’ to Exterminate Disease Among Cannery Employes, PORTLAND, Ore.. June 10.—Research workers at the University of Oregon Medical School have succeeded in discovering the cause of so-called fruit poisoning, a disease ■which attacks hundreds of workers in the canneries and packing houses of the Northwest during the fruit packing season. After six, months of investigation. Dr. Lyle Kingery, professor of dermatology, and Dr. C. H. Thienes. professor of pharmacology, have isolated the organism that produces the disease and they are now on the way to finding the most effective means of checking and preventing the malady. Dr. Kingery will present the results of their investigation before the of the American Society of Dermatologists in Minneapolis in July. Fruit poisoning is a painful skin Infection which attacks workers who pare and cut fruit in canneries. Those who hull strawberries are also liable to be infected. The disease causes the presons infected to be completely incapacitated for a month or two and often results in loss cf the finger nails. Before the investigations of the University of Oregon men were made, the cause of the disease was unknown. The infection causes large economic loss to the fruit industry and its workers. ■When sufferers from fruit poisoning were brought to Portland hospitals last year, Dr. Thienes and Dr. Kingery became interested in discovering a cure for the disease, which was then unclassified by medical science. They made trips to Oregon orchards and canneries and studied cases of the poisoning, finally isolating the organism which caused the trouble. They are now experimenting at the Medical School to find the best means of exterminating the organism from the human body so that caures may be effected. WAY TO HARNESS SUNiSjNVENTED Uses Combination of Mirrors and Magnifying Glasses, lip SEA Serrirr SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.—Old Sol may be turning the wheels of industry one of these days. Marcel Moreau, San Franciscan, has invented three machines obtaining their power from the sun's rays, which, he says, will: Produce a temperature of 15.000 degrees Fahrenheit. Furnish power so long as the sun shines. Generate electricity and store it in storage batteries. Moreau has his three machines completed and in operation. They are nicely balanced combinations of mirrors and magnifying glasses. In his heat machine he has seen diamonds bubble and disappear in gasec-us form. Carbon, which is fluid at 610 degrees, has melted with a fraction of the power his heat machine developed. He believes he can double the 15,000 degrees generated by his device by further application of his principles. While Moreau has many problems to work out, he foresees the time when power plants operated by the Sun's rays will be established in districts having high temperatures to furnish power to entire groups of States.

Complete election of the rules committee will not be made until late Tuesday when the last of the State delegations hold their meetings, but the women are standing at the w r all today, satisfied that they have fixed that all right. For days, prominent Republican women have been calling on State delegations, teaing with Senators and dining with Governors. Never were tea table politics more poignant. Chatter of the power of the woman's vote back home flowed with small talk and music—but always it flowed. If tactics of this sort do not bring the rules committee to a quick decision and women are still denied equal representation on the National committees they are prepared to take the fight to the floor of the convention. Patronage, the women claim, is the real cause for the opposition they are getting from the men of their party. They are not willing to share this right with the fair politician. Bystanders at convention headquarters would say. however, that the men have bitten off more than they can chew. For a stamp of the foot from the vivacious Mrs. Medill McCormick, or the snapping eyes of Mrs. Charles Sabin may not mean much in family circles, but— The women are pinning their faith on these, coupled with the inevitable flow of talk—think of the women's votes back home.

COHISER VA TISM IS PLEA OF BURTON Ohio Representative, in G, 0, P, Keynote Speech, Declares 'We Must Stand or Fall orr It,'

By ROBERT J. BENDER. United I‘ress Staff Correspondent CONVENTION HALL. CLEVELAND, Ohio. June 10. —Declaring most citizens “now look to President Coolidge rather than to Congress for leadership," Representative Theodore O. Burton of Ohio today called for re-election of the President and a majority in the next Congress made up of Republicans “tried and true who will stand united.” It was the G, O. P. keynote speech for the convention and the coming campaign. It left upon the minds of the thousands, delegates and guests, who crowded the huge hail, this unmistakable impress: Under leadership of Calvin Cool idge the Republican party must stand or fall on conservative administration of government, unhampered by “blocs" and maintained by “party solidarity and an organization whose members unite in closed formation to do battle to every foe.” Congress Is Scored Interesting and informative as was Burton's review of the Republican Administration's accomplishments, the real sensation of the address came when he adjusted his range on Congress. House and Senate action of the immigration, tax and bonus bills, the oil scandal investigations and “bloc” action of different sorts, all came in for criticism or ngBy implication, at least. Burton renounced the Lodge and Pepper world court proposals as being unsatisfactory to the President. “Let men earnestly recommend participation in the world court now functioning at The Hague. said. “This court is essentially an American idea and more than that, a Republican idea. It must be remembered also that fifty four nations are members of the league and most of them have adhered to the separate protocol for the court.” Tax Law Criticised With assurances that new or increased taxes'are not probable. Burton added, however, that “recent revenue law is not the last work.” He criticised those who counsel that ‘excessive surtaxes are desirable and result in large revenue." “The den\gogue may say to the unthinking,” he declared, ‘see how we are taxing the rich,' and then in a soft aside to the capitalist, ‘how excellent an avenue of escape we are providing for you.’ ” “We have recently witnessed the passage over the veto of the President of a socalled bonus or adjusted compensa'ion bill,” Burton said. He then outlined what the Government already has done for the war sufferers and concluded: “But the bonus act is now the law of the land. Conditions created by it must be met and its provisions must be willingly accepted.” “Blocs” Also Mentioned It was on the subjects of the Senate investigations and “bloc” action that the speaker unburdened himself without restraint. “It is a most grievous wrong,” he said, “to broadcast to the nation and to the world the mouthings of criminals and slanderers who would seek to scatter the slime of their own imaginations and hatreds. It is time to call a halt upon indiscriminate scandalmongering, which is largely designed tc insult the intelligence and undermine the patriotism of the American people ” Through “violent charges have brought to. light unworthy motives and grasping avarice,” he declared, “there are not many among the thousands of public servants in Washington” who are "recreant to their trust.” The Republican party “stands firm a3 a rock” in its determination that “the guilty individual, whether he be high or low, Democrat or Republican, must suffer the severest punishment.” Turning to the “bloc” situation in Congress, Burton deplored the lack of interest in primary contests. When "indifference exists, unwholesome forces poison our public life. A well organized minority is often more powerful than the inert mass of citizens whose patriotism is only aroused in time of grave emergency.

SCENES ON FARM OF JOHN LUCAS, FOUR MILES WEST OF RUSHVILLE, INI)., AFTER THE CYCLONE PASSED SUNDAY. MR. AND MRS. LUCAS WERE IN THE HOUSE WHEN IT WAS CARRIED ABOUT FIFTY FEET AND LEFT STANDING ON THE ROOF.

To these causes are traceable the formation of blocs and the vehement assertion of individual or sectional interests. “Special Privelegos” Hit “Never more than now have there been such insistent demands for special advantages, privileges of every nature bonuses, pensions and relief measures, as they are called.” His summing up of the condition which led to his statement that the peopleJookcd rather to Coolidge than Congress for leadership, was uttered in these sharp* words: “I would that 1 could say as much for the courage of all public men as for their honesty. The public fancy is sometimes caught by those who are most vociferous and at the same time most radically wrong. What is most needed in legislative halls and elsewhere is courage to withstand the sudden spasms which are created by groundless rumor or injudicious agitation. Candidates for office fail to realize how much the people respect courage and common honesty. Taking cognizance of “a tendency toward third party movements.” Burton declared “the effect is inevitably demoralizing, involving failure in constructive policies and oftentimes control by a minority or a combination of minorities. If we should tread the path which so many other countries have trod with disastrous results, inefficiency and confusion would be the outcome and there would be an expression, not of the majority will, but of the will %of groups and of sections.” Chairman .Ic-hn .Adams, at the opening of the Republican con vention said: "This is the eighteenth Republican National convention. "It is only sixty years since Lincoln was President. In that brief period, our country has enjoyed the greatest moral and material advancement in all history. Wisely Met "This has been brought about largely under Republican rule. And at no time have the problems of Government been more wisely and effectively met than during the last three years. “Our party has always stood for constructive progress. It has always endeavored to promote the welfare of the average man. It has a.ways adhered to America’s best traditions, both in domestic and in foreign affairs. “Today Europe is torn by class cleavage and hatred which threatens every social order. America, alone 'in the great family of nations, is united and stable, prosperous and free, and at peace with all the world. “We are hero, now, to pledge anew our faith in American institutions and to name the next President and vice president of the United States.” PARK IS RESERVED Grotto Visitors Welcomed at Broad liipple During Convention.

Weatherman Hampers Cupid,

f- IAMP, rainy nights in May have put a crimp in l 1 Cupid’s batting average for June —the , champion month of the year for marriage licenses, the records of County Clerk Albert H. Losche show. Only 128 marriage licenses were issued by Losche in the first eight days of June, as compared to 154 in 1923. In 1922 the number for the same period was 130, while in 1921 couples to the number of 146 paid their $2.50 to be made one.

June is the month for church weddings, she said, and the justices of peace don’t perform as large a percentage of the rites as usual.

This month always holds the record for ihe total number issued, with October second. January and February are the worst months for marriage licenses.

W. Frye, supreme commander of the order. “The organization of the interhational caravan in which members of the Maccabees in the United States and Camilla will take part, has progressed so far that its success is now assured," said Frye. “The caravan is h ired on patriotic ideas which just now seem more important than ever with a sudden wave of pacifism sweeping the country. Allegiance to country is part of the obligation taken by our members and a trip to the national capital which we are making possible without expense to every Maccabee, will be an inspiration and an education. “Besides seeing Washington, the caravan tourists will be taken on trips to Mt. Vernon, Gettysburg battlefield, Annapolis, Baltimore, the Maccabees' international old people's home at Chatham, Pa., and other points of interest. This meeting at ■Washington will draw our members of the East, North, West and South closer together and make for mutual understanding and unification of interests which promote good citizenship and real Americanism.” The caravan plan is meeting with enthusiasm among Maccabees all over this country and Canada, Mr. Frye said, and the head office in Detroit expects more than 10,000 members to be present at the convention in Washington. PHONE RAM HANDS OF COURT Commission and Company File Final Decrees. Proposed final decrees from the public service commission and from the Indiana Bell Telephone Company are in the hands of Federal Judge George T. Page, Chicago, who recently granted the company a permanent injunction against the commission, restraining it from putting into effect its order for telephone rates and f-om interfering with the rates asked by the company. Judge Page will notify the parties late this week as to whether a hearing is necessary on the final decree. The commission’s decree differs from that of the company in that during litigation it prevents the company from charging rates higher than those made a part of the temporary injunction granted by three Federal judges last summer and which are now in force, and it allows the commission to fix a rate lower than that schedule if it deems it advisable.

LOW SUGAR PRICE DUE FOR INCREASE Demoralized Market Brings Quotations to Cheapest Here Since 1922 —Coming Season May Boost Cost,

The refined sugar market is demoralized and sharp cuts have brought prices down to ~', 2 cents, retail, the lowest level since October, 1922, local wholesalers said today. Consensus of opinions, however, is that retail prices are not likely to show further reductions. The canning season will soon be on and the law of supply and demand will decree an increase, they believe. Cuban conditions continue to assure the record sugar crop. Federal Sugar Refining Company reports to date, show 6 per cent increase over original estimates. Stocks of sugar at shipping ports of the island aggregate 993,712 tons. The crop | has been accurately estimated at ] 4,050,000 tons. There is a world wide i surplus. | Local grocers are now selling cane sugar at 9 cents a pound. Chain ! stores, accordingly lower, are selling lat 7% cents. Wholesale prices vary I fractionally around the 7-cent figure. This is approximately a 214-cent deI crease since the first of the year. | New York raw sugar was quoted at j 3 cents Saturday, a fraction lower I than at any time since 1913. The huge Cuban crop and #iedge ] selling by Europe against Java | sugars has added to the price pres j sure. Additional pressure was added i when a quantity of Porto Rican j sugar wis dumped on the market. | Unfavorable and backward weather ; in the United States has militated against normal buying by either consumers or refiners.

happy smile —and of course something else, for she’s a nice young goddess—because they are no longer dancing naughty in Indianapolis, according to police. Gone is the cateh-as-catch-can hold, the cheek to cheek, the huff and puff of the modern dance step that not so long ago aroused the ire of Indianapolis police. Last March Chief Rikhoff Issued twelve ’commandments for public and private dance halls. They provided that all dance halls must have permits: that heads and hips must be kept apart; that they must dance in a certain position; that the women must wear no hats. Rikhoff said today reports from Police Women Meta Davis. Anna Bruner, Nell Dunkle and Hettie Brewer agreed that dancing in Indianapolis had really been reformed. The crowds are orderly: there is no intoxication, and young girls are no longer attending unchaperoned, he said. Dance halls visited and reported orderly are Lyric, Sullivan's Hall, Eleventh St. and College Ave.; Mu-' chinists Hall, 39 S. Delaware St., and halls at 1202 Nordyke Ave. and Thirtieth ami Illinois Sts. The police women said they were more than j pleased with conditions at the Rou- j manian hall on W. Pearl St. This is the reason Terpsichore is | happy. DAILEY ON WAY HOME Youth, Involved In Alleged Bad Check Case Here. Milton H. Dailey, University of j Illinois student, and son of J.

GREATER EARNING POWER IS RESULT OF COLLEGE WORK University of Oregon Graduates Are Studied by Educational Bureau, EUGENE, Ore., June 10. —A college education increases earning capacity from 50 to 200 per cent, in the opinion of alumni of the University of Oregon, who were asked to comment on the value of their education. Os 568 University of Oregon men reporting the amount of their incomes to the alumni office, 329 reported incomes of more than $3,000. In some instances the income reported was as high as $50,000, but the greatest number, about 40 per cent of the total, reported incomes between $3,000 and $7,000. Most of the graduates said that they believed their college education had increased their earning power at least 100 per cent. "These returns from our graduates bear out the assertions of the United States Bureau of Education ) as to the value of college training,” i >aid P. L. Campbell, president of lof the university. "Figures prepared I by the bureau in 1917 show that the average earning of grade school j graduates at the age of 30, is $750, of high school graduates $1,250, of col- - lege graduates $2,150. Their investigations show that during a life- ] time of forty yea.rs a college gradj gate produces $50,000 more wealth :han does a high school graduate. This means that, because of higher training, the college graduate is able ;to produce $50,00u more in taxable wealth for the State than is his less ! educated brother. Education at the : State university thus yields to the State in the lifetime of the student I taxable wealth more than forty ! times as great as the cost of his edj ucation. "In Oregon where natural reI sources are practically unlimited | and depend for their development on tlif intelligence and initiative and skill of the citizens, these figures have special significance. Our whole j prosperity, the development of our water power, minerals, timber, all the utilization of resources that mean a wealthier State, depends on the highest type of trained intelligence such as our colleges and universities are producing.” C.
