URUGUAY IN FAVOR OF DIVIDING ESTATES

M'CRAY GETS SECOND

ANANYMOUS LETTER; KLAN DENIES WRITING

BULLETIN WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W

fleclared war against the Ku Klux Klan

in Indiana while addressing the conference of state executives here. If the klan causes law violations in Indiana, he said, the state will go the limit fighting it.

(By Associated Press)

MONTEVIDEO, Dec. 16 With the

object of forcing the subdivision of the

immense landed estates in Uruguay

and at the same time to promote agriculture and stock breeding, the minister of industries, Dr. Luis Caviglia, has drafted a bill to apply a special

sliding scale land tax upon all estates of more than 2,000 hectares (5,000

acres). The scale slides upward per

thousand hectares, but exemption of the half or the whole of the tax is offered if the proprietors comply with certain conditions to make the land

productive.

The measure is of special interest to all the countries of the River Plate

in which enormous landed estates

largely idle and tenaciously held by their wealthy proprietors, are common,

and ,thus far legislators have not been successful in finding constitutional

methods of breaking them tip for dis

posal to settlers and small farmers and

preventing their formation in the fu

ture.

The conditions for exemption pro

posed by Dr. Cavigha are that certain percentages of the estates be devoted

to agriculture, dairying or stock breed

ing. They fix the standards of the stock in the case of stock breeding, and

specify what equipment shall be neces

sary.

The bill will be considered by the

National Council of Administration be

fore being presented to congress.

HERRIN MINE TRIAL

TIME IS SHORTENED

MARION, 111., Dec. 16. Attorneys for both state and defense in the trial of five men charged -with murder in connection with the Herrin riot of

last June today predicted the end of

the trial by the middle of January

Previous estimate was that the trial

would continue two months. During the first three days of the trial testimony has been given by more than a score of state's witnesses. During the Saturday and Sunday recess that was taken last night the attorneys said they would go over their list of witnesses in the hope of mar terially reducing them. So far the state's witnesses have pointed to four of the five defendants a3 ' having been . seen with guns in their hands during the riots, but all have united in the declaration that they were unable to identify any of those as participants in the shooting. The defense has not made clear its case except, for the declaration of A. Wi Kerr, chief counsel for the accused men, that it would prove an alibi for all of the defendants. Frank Farrington, head of the Illinois mine workers, who has been a spectator at the trial, issued a statement saying that the union would defend every miner indicted in connection with the riot. .

DRUG STORE BANDITS WOUNDED, CAPTURED CBy United Press)

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 16 A drug

store bandit was thought to be dying

and another was in the hospital with a

bullet in his leg today after four holdup men were "ambushed" in the Cornegie drug store bv Patrolman Harney. Harney, detailed to the store which had previously been robber, fought a gun battle with robbers and put them

to flight. " He was in the rear of the store when the bandits entered. While Harney and Myron Levine, the proprietor, kept watch through a peephole, one of the men ordered a cigar. The clerk, Charles Robinson, started to serve him and was confronted by four revolvers.

"Leave your hands down and march to the rear," they ordered. As the procession approached. Patrolman Harney took aim through the peephole and fired. He shot twice, one bullet struck the

leading bandit in the side and the other

pierced his temple. The other bandits ran. Harney chased them shooting. The bandits returned the fire. The wounded bandit lay writhing on the floor. -

"I'm dying," he moaned. "Please tell

my mother."

The other bandits were rounded up

later.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16. -The wise parent, during the Christmas shopping period and tne season when school days temporarily are forgotten, will spend some of that time taking the child to the doctor, the dentist and

the occulist, recommends Miss Laura Hooper, psyhcologist and head of the department of mental measurement at the National Kindergarten and Elementary college. "Along with the other holiday gifts, give back to the school a child better fitted to take up his child duties," advises Miss Hooper. "A B C's are not the most important thing in a child's educational life. Why worry over the fact that John's report card indicates 'poor' in spelling, 'fair in reading, 'failing in arithmetic and 'imposible' in deportment if you are not to take

time to get at the bottom of the problem?"

Johnny's report card. Miss Hooper

points out, may be no reflection on

Johnny's gray-matter but on the par

ent who neglects to investigate into

the physical means of transmitting im

pressions.

Conduct Mental Tests

Mental tests, according to Miss

Hooper, are taking the place of old-

fashioned entrance examinations and

the child is placed in the group for

which his mental age indicates he is ready. If he is not able to keep up with this group, he is placed back in another section. These mental tests do not measure his accomplishments

along any one line, as reading, writ

ing, etc., but they do test his ability

to concentrate, to take direction, to memorize to sense a new situation and to act quickly and with judgment to

criticize his own efforts and to profit

by his mistakes and make adjustments

to the world about him.

"If a child can not do justice to a

test which is only of a few minutes duration, he can not do justice to work requiring hours of his time," says Miss

Hooper. Parents are wise, who, in-

sieaa or maming Johnny, inquire whether, he has been given a square deal in the matter of health. The

ABC s," Miss Hooper says, "will

then take care of themselves."

The kiddies, and the grown-ups too, relish homemade cookies. When children beg for sweets the modern mother knows that she may safely give them wholesome cakes made from graham, oatmeal, spice and raisins without any fear of results. Then, too, it is always handy to have a supply of cookies on hand' for desserts or to serve at tea time. And whoever heard of a school lunch with-

out.'one or two of these delicious little

cakes?

Learn to prepare cookies in all of

their varieties. Full directions are

pastries of all sorts.

HANDLEY LAUDS WORK OF POLICE OFFICERS

KEEP HOLIDAYS FREE FROM FIRE TRAGEDIES

Observe the following donts to

keep the holidays from fire tragedies: Keep the window candle away from

curtains and ' draperies; never leave

it unwatched. Natural Christmas trees are highly inflammable and should be placed on a firm base, so there will be no dancer of tipping over. If candles are used as an illuminator, never allow them to burn without some grown person on watch. Do not let the children light them or be alone with them. If electric lights are used, consult some expert as to their distribution and use. Buy only non-inflamable decorations and avoid cotton batting as you would the plague. Watch Costumes. See that the long white beard of Santa Claus is fireproof, likewise hitcostume. "Use artificial snow; get the stuff that will not burn for decoration. Be careful where you hang tho Christmas wreath; keep it away from the gas, electric light bulbs and all grates or stoves. Screen all open fires. Do not force your grates, stoves and furnaces beyond the safety point. Be sure that all natural or artificial gas stoves, hot plates and heating or cooking implements using this fuel are vented to the outside, but not against wood or imtiammable material. Do not give the children celluloid t0yS they a,re dangerous. Only the other day, a baby poked one into a

flame. The child died. It is bad practice to enter a crowded store with inflammable goods displayed on open counters, with a cigar cigarette or pipe in your mouth. MRS. HAROLD F.

Mayor Handley presented the coat to the chief and said: "We all wish to express our appreciation for the efforts which Chief Eversman has made to help the policeman in his duties

as civic officer of the city of Kichmond, and it is to show him how much we prize this fact that we present this coat to him. "I want to say to you men while vou are here now, inasmuch as we

seldom get together in one body, that

you have been rendering this administration valuable service since the

start of the same; and it is now that I take the opportunity to tell you that

I have thoroughly appreciated your work. "Whatever you hear in the way of criticism about the work of the police department, merely pass it by," emphasized the mayor. "Many who are making the criticism about the department are those who know very little about it and who have no grounds for making remarks. "It is my desire to rid the city of all things which are not lawful, but I understand that you policemen can not get to all of it any anybody with common judgment would agree with me. I

am more than pleased with the way in which you officers have produced for our administration and I hope that you

will continue to render the same serv

ice in the coming year." Prosecutor Paul A. Beckett presented the mayor with a gift of silk socks, a tie and other articles. "We take this opportunity to present the mayor with a little gift as our appreciation of what he has done in working with the de

partment. I feel sure that the police

men ot this administration are more

than satisfied with their treatment

from the mayor," said the prosecutor. Chicago Batter Market Reflects Three-Point Drop (By Associated Press) ,

First American Trast Organized 50 Years Ago (By United Press) POMEROY, Ohio, Dec. 16. America's first trust was conceived, lived its brief life, flourished, and perished here more than a half century ago at the time when Pomeroy was the salt capital of the world. Twenty-six companies operated at the time of the Civil war on the rich salt country near

here on the Ohio and West Virginia sides of the Ohio river. Then it was

the salt interests headed by R. R. Hudson combined on plans which succeeding great American businesses have followed. ' The Ohio River Salt company kept an almost continuous pro

cession of boats going up and down the river. But dissention crept into the

organization. Bitter legal battles were

provoked and in five years it was disintegrated. Not even a ghost of the pioneer trust remains.

BOARD REFUSES PLEA OF MAINTENANCE MEN

CBy Associated Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 16. The maintenance of way men's case before the United States railroad labor board today was a closed incident, after a decision announced by the board denying their plea for punitive overtime beginning at the end of eight hours work. In a previous decision the board granted the maintenance men slight increases for several classes of work, but. did not decide the overtime question. The decision of yesterday upheld a former board ruling granting the men time and one-half after the tenth hour, with the ninth and tenth hour

on a pro-rata basis. It favored the employes by holding that their time started and ended at designated assembly points and that supervisory forces, paid on a monthly basis, should receive the same rates of overtime as general forces.
