TREE-SITTING BOYS ROOST WHOLE DAY

Just a Habit Bu United Press NEW YORK, July 15.—Martha Lenneper 21, was so thrilled by the marriage ceremony she went through six months ago that she tided it again three times in six months. And each time she picked out the same man, just for the delight of hearing the minister address her as Mrs. Ernest Triebel. Tlie first marriage was secret, the result of an elopement and was performed in Jersey City. The same parson was called on to tie the knot again after the marriage became known, but the other ceremonies were performed in New Haven and New York, just for variety.

Local Lads Determined to Capture Title of Riding Branches. Rock-a-bye records teetered this morning, when a beaming sun awoke two boys in tree branches, where they have perched since Monday, determined to capture the title for a non-drop squat in maple foliage. One of them, Milton Dill, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Dill, 624 North Jefferson avenue, completed his first day of riding the springing branches at 6 a. m. The other, Palmer McCloskey, 14, son of Mrs. Ethel McCloskey, 328 North Temple street, will round out his first day at noon. Last week Palmer clung to a limb thirty-seven hours before a grocery store job beckoned him back to earth. But this time, Palmer says, job or no job, he’s out for the title. To rest without breaking his neck and shattering his chance for the title, he built a platform in the branches on which to sleep. Early this morning his mother awoke him for refueling, and to the strin;| he dropped from his perch she affixed a breakfast of bananas, cocoa and bread and butter. Two other Indianapolis youths made feeble stabs for the record Monday, ascending into neighboring trees in the 500 block on East Twenty-first street, but one had to carry papers, and parental calls brought the other down after a few hours. The boys were Floyd Scarlett, 2062 Ruckle street, and Harold (Fat) Thomas, 2101 Ruckle street. NORRIS PAPERS STOLEN Popular Government League Offices in Washington Rifled.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BRITISH CABINET IS DEFEATED ON COAL MINE BILL House of Lords Reinserts Clause by Heavy Vote of 168-36. Bu United Pro* LONDON, July 15.—The government was defeated in the house of lords today on its coal bill. The government's defeat —one of a series in the house of lords —came when the peers, by a vote of 168 to 36 inserted in the coal minutes bill a clause providing for ninety hours of work in the mines spread over two weeks instead of a straight forty-five-hour week, as the government wishes. The house of lords had inserted the same clause in the bill twice previously and each time was rejected by the house of commons. The government now faces three alternatives: Swallowing a defeat and accepting the clause. Dropping its coal ir'ies bill en- i tirely. Resigning and precipitating a general election. The government’s defeat precipitated a critical situation but it may be several days before the government announces what alternative it chooses to accept. It was understood that before deciding, the cabinet would consult leaders of the miners’ federation on whether the miners would accept the bill with the ninety-hour per fortnight clause included.

TEACHERS IN WANT ■ i Salaries Months Overdue in Chicago. Bit United Pros . 1 CHICAGO, July 15.— Stories of j distress and want among Chicago j school teachers, whose salaries are months overdue, again harassed the city board of education today, as relief measures were being considered to obtain $6,100,000 needed to met pay rolls. Although the board of education has $13,000,000 in 1930 tax anticipation warrants, they can not be marketed until the city buys back a similar amount of bonds sold to bankers in 1928-1929. Relief for the needly teachers is several weeks away, it was believed as the only solution lies in a supreme court decision which would allow sale of the 1930 warrants. ‘‘The situation is serious,” said James Hemingway, chairman of the education finance committee. ‘‘Many teachers and their dependents are suffering from lack of money.” EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE ALLEGED STOLEN FATAL Bedford Youth Dead and Companion Seriously Injured.

Cause of the blast has not been determined. Both youths had served terms at the state penal farm for robbery. 120 DROWNED IN KOREA Renewed Floods in Far East Take Heavy Toll of Lives.

HOOVER WILL TOUR ROCKIES EARLY IN FALL President Expects to Spend at Least Two Weeks in Northwest. Cl/ United Press WASHINGTON July 15.—President Hoover expects to be able to spend at least two weeks in the northern Rocky mountains late in August or early in September, his secretary George Akerson announced today. The statement was issued following publication of some critical newspaper reports suggesting the President was afraid to go west because of the wheat situation and political conditions there. Akerson said the original plan to take a month's holiday in the western national parks had to be abandoned because congress has not completed its work within the time contemplated when the announce-

ment of the proposed trip was made, May 9. In addition, Mr. Hoover will bo required to spend soma time in Washington to complete several important matters after adjournment of the special session of the senate now sitting. “The President has received a great number of cordial invitations to make public appearances and addresses in various cities en route.” Akerson said in a mimeograph statement. “The curtailment of the period when he will be away from Washington and the very nature of taking a holiday and rest will preclude acceptance of these invitations and he believes they will not be pressed.” While it was not made clear just where the President would go, it was assumed he would visit Glacier or Yellowstone National park, or perhaps both. But he definitely has given up hope of a tour of more of the western parks.
