ATTEMPT TO SPLIT WAYNE DELEGATION IS MADE BY HOUGH Will Hough of Greenfield, a candidate for the Republican congressional nomination, while in Richmond Monday, it was learned today, attempted to split the Wayne county delegation to the Republican convention by approaching several well known . Richmond party leaders and urging them to enter the contest for the nomination. Hough realized the fact that if the Wayne county delegation was united in support of one Wayne county, candidate no other candidate had a chance of becoming the party nominee. Seeks to Split Vote. Therefore Hough, while he was in Richmond, put forth every effort to induce some Richmond man to contest with Robbins for the support of Wayne delegation. There are aspirants for the Republican nomination in nearly every county other than Wayne, although Hough and Elmer Bassett of Shelbyville are the only two who hate actively entered the contest. - , It is generally understood that in tbe event the Wayne delegation enters the convention divided in its support of two or more Wayne county candidates such action' will be a signal for every aspirant lor the nomination, active and receptive, to get into the fight. And in Buch event it is almost an assured fact the nomination will not go to a Wayne county many. Wayne County Man Sure. If Wayne county gives its solid support to one particular candidate that man is practically sure of nomination, for both the Rush and Henry delegations are pledged to support any can didate that Wayne county is united on. There are many reasons to believe that a solid delegation of supporters of the candidacy of Byram C. Robbins will be selected next Monday evening at the ward and township meetings held throughout Wayne county. His candidacy has proved a very popular one and friends of the young attorney in every; voting precinct in the county have now effected organizations to support him.

AMERICAN FLAGS PLACED BESIDE ST. PAUL'S ALTAR Colors of Battalions with Canadian Contingent Honored in London Church. LONDON, May 30 It was like another America day at St. Paul's today when the colors of the American le gion in the Canadian contingents were placed beside the altar to remain there until after the war. There were five flags, one from each battalion the 97th. 211th. 212th. 213th and 237th. They were escorted to the cathedral by 500 Canadian soldiers. As the troops passed up the central aisle the crowd which filled the adifice sang, "Mine Eeyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming o fthe Lord," and later "Onward, Christian Soldiers." At the conclusion of the service, "The Star-Spangled Banner,", was sung, followed by "God Save the King." The service was attended by Ambassador Page, Consul-General Skinner, high officers of the Canadian forces and physicians and curses from St. Louis and Philadelphia. The large silk flag of the 97th battalion has th,e place of hono, surrounded by small flags of the other four battalions. , . REGISTRATION DAY SHOULD BE HOLIDAY, OFFICIALS DECLARE Judge Fox, Prosecutor Strayer and Sheriff Carr all expressed the opinion today that Tuesday, June 5, conscription registration day, be declared a public holiday in Richmond, air business being suspended and arrangements made for; a patriotic celebration. Members of the county conscription board, Sheriff Carr, County Clerk Kelly and Dr.' F. W. Krueger, county health commissioner, are being bombarded with mail from residents of the county now employed outside of the county, including their registra tion cards. Over sixty registrations have been received by mail this week. One young man now residing in an eastern city states on - his card that he is a givernment. employe, is married and the sole support of his wife but claims no exemption from military service. He states he has had eight months military experience with the British army. Registration officials again emphasize the fact that no man between the ages of 21 and. 31 years is exempted from registering for conscription "even if a man is legless and armless," as one of the board members put it today.

SHIPPERS STILL PROTEST AGAINST RRTE INCREASE WASHINGTON, May 30. Shippers from Vermont to Texas today added their protests against the proposed fifteen per cent freight rate increase at the interstate commerce commiseion hearing. From the south and southwest came a continuation of arguments from fruit and lumber dealers; from New England representatives of the State and allied industries brought protests. To expedite the taking of testimony half of the hearings today were held before a special examiner, simultaneously with the hearings before the full commission. ' A compilation made by the eastern railroads, . represents 85 per cent, of the eastern manufacturers, merchants boards of trade, banks, business associations and individuals who sent letters or telegrams on; the subject to the commission.' The same compilation shows 75 per cent, of the communications as favoring the general advance of fifteen per cent. Five hundred communications the railroads compilation shows, as coming from the important eastern traffic centers and urging the full 15 per cent, increase. Only seven per cent, are shown by the railroad figures, as being against the increase. The general effect of the statistics prepared by the railroads from the commissions records is to show that an overwhelming majority of the shipping interests recorded favors giving the railroads higher rates. A domestic science lecturer in Minnesota told her audience the way to remain beautiful is to eat an onion, half a pound of cabbage, or spinach, half a grated turnip, and a handful of cranberries daily. v Price on 100 - lb.
