GROCERY CLERK TAKES PISTOL FROM BANDIT.

WATSON TO DUMP OLD FRIEND AS TOO BIG A LOAD This Explanation Not One Given to Meredith’s Home Folks. Tossing overboard in a storm of one of his most loyal supporters, Linus P. Meredith, is causing Senator James E. Watson some worry, enough at least to send him into the former home of Meredith to explain and promise. Meredith, on expiration of his term as United States marshal, is not to be recommended by Watson for reappointment. In other parts of the State explanation is given that Meredith is too big a load. Down south, so it is reliably learned, Watson is explaining that the patronage in Indianapolis and Marion County has been demanded by George Coffin and will be given to him. Senator Robinson merely acts as the messenger from Coffin to the White House. That was the explanation given a week ago, by Watson, to a group of Meredith’s friends, who resented the fact that unswerving loyalty on the part of Meredith brought no sign of gratitude from Watson. However, the Senator is reported to have assured Meredith's friends that he would be given something else if he did not make a fight to hold his job. Disclaims Responsibility Watson at the time took occasion to disclaim any responsibility for Secretary of State Schortemeier’s demand for a strictly partisan distribution of license plates for autos in Richmond, an act resented by business men of that city. That there may be some hesitancy on the part of President Coolidge to approve the selection of Alf. O. Meloy, candidate of the Coffin-Robin-son-Trotter coterie, as the next marshal for Indiana, is causing Morgan’s friends to become active and worrying the organization considerably. Morgan was re'moved as prohibition director on demand of Senator Watson, after he had made a good record in the office. To his personal- friends Meredith has indicated that he is placing his official house in order and that hd is preparing to turn his office over to the choice of the Coffin organization. Appointed four years ago as marshal, on recommendation of Watson, for valued services rendered over a long period of years, Meredith has had a hectic career during his tenure of office, chiefly by reason of large quantities of confiscated liquor placed in his custody. In the deals and agreements being made in anticipation of the fail election, Senator Watson has relinquished all claim to Marion County Federal patronage and had turned the naming of a successor to Meredtih over the Marion County organization, which means George V Coffin, friend and mentor of Arthur Robinson. More than usual interest is being shown in the matter on account of national publicity given the disappearance of 330 cases of Squibb whisky—pre-war stock —valued, according to bootleg prices, at SBO.OO0 — from the Federal Bldg, here and which had been in Meredith’s custody. For the theft of this whisky three Negro janitors were given short jail; sentences and two men sent to the b'ederal penitentiary for eighteen months. , It was this situation which pnjflipted an Indianapolis newspaper to say editorially that only “the most credulous” could believe there were no “higher-ups.”

ACCEPTANCE Os RESERVATIONS ON COURT FAVORED Recommendation Made by Drafting Committee on U. S. Stand. By Henry Wood, United Pruts Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Sept. 22.—Acceptance of all the American reservations to the world court protocol was recommended by the drafting committee of fourteen today, with the solo provision that the United States should negotiate an understanding with the League of Nations Council with respect to the manner of expressing American consent to the court rendering (ii advisory opinion. The committee was appointed by the conference of The Hague court signatories here to find a formula for accepting the United y ’ States Senate's reservations. The committee today adopted a draft of the formula outlined in the foregoing. Should the United States object to the court giving an advisory opinion on any question to which the United States was not a party, this chjection would have the same force and effect as if the United States were a member of the league and voted such an advisory opinion. All signatories of the World Court protocol will be requested to use the formula devised by the committee today as a basis for their individual replies to the United States with respect to the Senate reservations. The formula still would have to be accepted by the full conference of World Court signatories and then by the United States.

DEATH LIST IN FLORIDA DROPS (Continued From Page 1) The identified whites total 62, unidentified 17. Burial of the dead is going forward at a rapid pace. As soon as the unidentified have been examined for marks of identification and their teeth charted, they are being Interred at Miami Memorial Park. This cemetery has offered burial lots without charge for all who are unable to pay for them.
