It declares that the unions have been successful in defeating plans to overthrow control of State unions. President Green of the Federation will preside during the convention sessions. WOMAN FAILS TO PAY ALIMONY; IN CONTEMPT Ingenlns Excuse Fails to Win Way Past Judge. Bu Times Special LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 3. Mrs. Daisy Lorentzen, first woman ordered to pay alimony to her husband under the new California law, was the first woman punished for contempt for not doing so. She was before Judge Scott on the complaint vi i her husband, H. J. Lorentzen, that "she had not given him the SSO the court told her to pay several days ago. She had a defense that Judge Scott held to be more ingenious than meritorious. “My attorney holds a judgment against Mr. Lorentzen,” she said. “As soon as the court ordered me to pay him this money he garnisheed the fund I was holding for Mr. Lorentzen’s account.” “No, he didn’t,” Judge Scott ruled. “Money ordered to be paid forthwith may not be garnisheed. So that does not explain this situation, a ignoraflce of the law being no ex- | cuse. You are in contempt.” Offers Prize at I.

LABOR TO RAP RRITISHSTAND Attitude of Delegation to Nav. J*Sy Is Target. England, Oct. 3. An attack on the attitude of British delegates at the three-power naval disarmament conference called by President Coolidge at Geneva is expected to have an important place in the deliberations of the Labor Party’s convention which opens here today. While the convention’s agenda includes discussion of the surtax on property and investment, incomes, unemployment, education, a general election program, the liquor trade and birth control, it is admitted that the subject of disarmament will have first rank. As the tripartite conference at Geneva came to an end just previous to the adjournment of parliament and little debate could be allowed, labor is expected to use the present conference as its first adequate opportunity for an attack. The government’s proposal to reform the house of lords is also expecetd to be one of the most prominent discussions before the conference. Storm Cancels Visit By Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 3. —Dr. and Mrs. Bert E. May, just before leaving here to visit his uncle, Clyde C.

LAMBS ONCE PLAYED . IN BIG MONEY CENTER Tablet Will Show Stock Exchange Formerly Was Pasture. Bu Times Special NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—That lambs once gamboled where now symbolic ones disport with the bulls and bears of the Stock Exchange will be testified to by a bronze tablet to be placed upon the tower skyscraper which soon will be ready to house the Equitable Trust Company at Exchange Place and Broad St. For, as the tablet will remind its readers, this site in the heart of the world’s money center once served as a sheep pasture for the early settlers of New Amsterdam. To the efforts of Reginald Pelham Bolton, the historian, much credit for the tablet is due. Hoosier> 68, Flies Bu Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 3. “Bully,” was the Rooseveltian comment of J.
