DEMOCRATS IN LINE FOR FAST REPEAL ACTION Party Has Chance to Make Good Its Pledge Today in Senate. BV WALTER STONE Timm Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Fob. 16—The Democratic party is in position to make good in short order on its promise to return liquor control to the states. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the senate is to vote on a resolution submitting to the states the question of repeal of the eighteenth amendment. When the senate convened at noon today, the terms of the resolution were in accord with the anti-prohibition plank of the Democratic platform. If senate Democrats maintain anything like a united front, they can, with the help of wet Republicans, turn down all amendments to the resolution, and pass it by a two-thirds vote. If the resolution is passed by the senate, it will go at once to the house, where the Democrats have a majority and where about 100 wet Republicans are eager to lend a hand. Little Time Remains By expedious action, it is barely possible for congress, before the end of this week, to lay the repeal question before the forty-three state legislatures now in session. None of the forty-three legislatures which met in January Is scheduled to adjourn before March 3 and many of them are not scheduled to adjourn before April 3, or later. The pending resolution can not be ratified by the legislatures, but the legislatures have the power to call conventions for that purpose. It is estimated that delegates can be elected and state conventions assembled within thirty to sixty days. And a majority of the forty-three legislatures are controlled by Democrats. Hence, if the Democratic party, In congress and in the state legislatures, performs on its platform, the eighteenth amendment soon will be on its way out of the Constitution. The first hurdle in the “if" setup —the senate hurdle—is the highest, but Joe Robinson of Arkansas predicted this morning that the necessary two-thirds vote should be mustered. Sheppard Expects Dry Victory However, Democratic Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas, “father of the eighteenth amendment," was equally confident that more than one-third of the senate would vote this afternoon to keep his brain child in the Constitution. Senator Robinson led his forces through a hot fight Wednesday night, breaking the back of the dry filibuster, compromising with the more moderate drys by accepting a provision making illegal the transportation of liquor into a dry state, j giving com sntions instead of legis- j la tors the power to ratify, and re- j moving a section lodging in congress | the “concurrent power to regulate j or prohibit the sale of intoxicating j liquors to be drunk on the premises | where sold.” Borah Votes With W'ets The convention system of ratifica- i tion was approved by a vote of 45 to 15, and federal control over saloons was stricken out by 33 to 32 —the two senators from Arizona, Ashurst and Hayden, changing their votes in response to the crack of the party whip. Senator Borah voted with the wets on the saloon provision, after they yielded to his plea for retention of the provision protecting dry states. The Idahoan argued that unless 1 the provision was written into the j Constitution, the Webb-Kenyon law would not give dry states the power to protect themselves. TWO ARE SENT TO FARM Dead Guilty to Petit Larceny When Agreement Is Reached. When prosecution and defense reached an agreement in municipal court to change charges to petit larceny instead of robbery and grand larceny, Earl Smallwood, 1369 Nordyke avenue, and Paul Brown, 1347 Silver avenue, Wednesday pleaded guilty and were sentenced to sixty days on the Indiana state farm and fined $1 and costs each. The men were arrested on complaint of Walter Poe, 1319 Silver avenue, who alleged that they enticed him to a vacant, lot. attacked and robbed him of S4O.

Don’t Deceive Yourself about a COLD! A Cold is Nothing to Take Lightly and Nothing to Treat Lightly! A Cold is an Internal Infection Calling for Specific Internal Medication!

A cold is nothing to trifle with. You can't tell where it will end. Many a case of Influenza has been preceded by a "slight” cold. A cold calls for a COLD remedy. Preparations good for half a dozen things besides colds can't be equally effective for colds. Many cf these preparations actually make a cold more difficult of relief because they are constipating and also make the system acid. A cold also calls for internal medication. For. a cold is an internal infection. Local or outside applications only allay a few of the symptoms and do not reach the real seat of the trouble. Play Safe! At the first sign of a cold you can do nothing wiser than take Groves Laxative Brotno Quinine. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine deals with a cold decisively because It does the four things necessary. First of all. it opens tlv' bowels. Second, it kil’s the cold germs and fever in the system. Third, it relieves the headache and grippy feeling. Fourth, it

Confession by Ex-Suitor Claimed in Girl’s Death

Fall Killed Pretty Ribbon Cierk, He Threw Body in River, Police Told. By In ilrd Dress ROCK ISLAND, 111, Feb. 16. The mysterious death of pretty Rose Gendler, ribbon clerk, whose body was found last Dec. 22 on the ice of Rock river, was believed solved today with a confession attributed to Maurice Meyer, former suitor, by Sheriff F. R. Schleuter. Meyer, 25, denied he killed Miss Gendler, the sheriff said, but admitted throwing her body from a bridge to the ice below. Meyer claimed, the sheriff said, that Miss Gendler fell on the ice in the rear of a cleaning plant which he operates in Moline, adjoining this city, and that he was unable to revive her. Becoming panic-stricken, he said, he bound the body, placed it in a sack, took it, to Rock river, and tossed it over. Meyer also admitted, the sheriff said, that he wrote the ransom note received by the clerk's parents demanding $2,000. He said he placed the note on the Gendler front porch, where it was found while a hunt was on after the girl disappeared while on the way home from the store where she sold ribbon. Meyer expressed a desire to throw himself on the mercy of the court and take his punishment. He recently surrendered to the state's attorney, after disappearing for a month. He claimed he was made nervous by the use of a lie detector and sought relief in the confession, the sheriff reported. HOOSIERS ARE HONORED Several Names Are Added to State Inaugural Group.

Garfield, in 1881, and William McKinley, in 1901 —died at the hands of assassins. The most sensational of recent assassinations was the murder of Paul Doumer, President oT France, by the Russian, Gorgouloff. Since Lincoln’s assassination in 1865, more than eighty rulers or high governmental officials have been assassinated. The more important: Alexander 11., of Russia, 1881.

EXTORTIONIST, TRAPPED, ENDS m m LIFE Sends Bullet Into Brain as Police Close In on House. BY THOMAS C. CLUCK Vnited Press Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 16. A young extortionist gambled his life against $15,000 here and lost. Frustrated in his attempt to wring that sum from a wealthy banker, he shot himself to death late Wednesday. The intended victim was R. Crosi by Kemper, president of the City j Bank and Trust Company. The would-be extortionist was ! identified by fingerprints as K. W. ; Lattm, 32. He threatened death to Sally Ann, | 9-year-old daughter of the banker, i if his demands were not met. With a police squadron thrown I about the Kemper home and capI ture imminent, he sent a bullet into his own brain. Death came an hour later at General hospital. Note Found on Ferson On his person was found a note reading: “Goodby, mother, I can’t stand to see you hungry.” Lattin, who showed indications of being a drug addict, entered the home while both Kemper and his wife were absent. In the house were Sally Ann, her nurse, Ann ; Wilde, 19, and a maid, Beulah j McNeal. j When Miss Wilde opened the door, j Lattin jammed an automatic pistol against her body. "Don't yell," he warned. ‘T’ve come here for money and I'm going jto get it. I know Kemper’s girl is ! ill—that she’s in an upstairs room, j Lead me to her.’ The nurse obeyed. Mother Is Menaced Gesturing over the child’s bed with his gun, Lattin told the girl: “Get in touch with Kemper. Tell him to come home at once. When ; he gets here, tell him I want $.15,000. j If he doesn't give it to me, I’ll kill I this baby.” ! Mrs. Kemper returned. Threat- ! ening her, the intruder declared: "I’ve piaced a value of $15,000 on my life. If you value the baby’s life, i you’ll tell your husband when he j arrives to be prepared to pay that ! sum to me. If he doesn’t, I'm going to kill her.” While he threatened Mrs. Kemper, Miss Wilde slipped into another room and called police. Presently the sound of an approaching car was heard. With the extortionist pressing his revolver against her back, Mrs. Kemper answered the boorbell. Two ! patrolmen confronted her. Officer Uses Ladder “There must be some mistake,” she faltered. “There is nothing wrong here.” Unconvinced, the officers went to the rear of the house. Miss Wilde beckoned frantically from an upstairs window. Meanwhile several squads of officers were rushing to the Kemper home. R. G. Dunn, a patrolman, mounted j a ladder to the second story Lattin had taken Mrs. Kemper back up- ! stairs. He sighted Dunn and fired !at him. The officer returned the | fire and the extortionist fled to ai:*> other room. From a window he saw a veritable multitude of officers in the yard. Realizing his plot had failed, he put his pistol to his temple and pulled the trigger. PLANT EARNS $70,000 ; City-Owned Light Company Show s Net Revenue for 1932. By ’United Press WASHINGTON.

So you can easily tell if you have it. Now Quickly and Easily Corrected If you do have acid stomach, don’t worry about it. You can correct it in a very simple manner. Just do this.
