his father to know about it, becaus
"I've caused him enough trouble, al-
ready." Roberson quoted the youth as
saying
The farm hand was employed three
weeks by Myers. and previous to that
time worked at another Canadian
county farm. The alleged pilfering
occurred Sunday while Myers was
visiting neighbors and apparently was
discovered upon his return.

Under the law the issuance of beer
permits is solely at the discretion of

leader in the house, as legisla-

formal demands on Governor
Murray to submit the repeal
subject to the special session.
With the 3 2 beer legalization refer-
endum definitely called for July 11,
brew sponsors have attempted to duck
the repeal question for fear their bill
would meet defeat, and advocates of
the constitutional amendment reduc-
ing the ad valorem tax limit don't
want repeal on their August 15 ballot.
Separate Vote Seen
"I would be in favor of another spe-
cial election to submit the question
and get It out of the way before the
1934 campaign,” Batoon declared. The
cost would be about 865,000.
Murray has expressed similar sen-
timents through his personal news-
paper. the Blue Valley Farmer, but
Batson reported the governor "wasn't
inclined to submit the question at this
session" When the floor leader dis-
cussed it with him recently.
Nevertheless, with three states
boarding the repeal bandwagon Tues-
day to bring the total to 14 in less
than five months since the proposed
twenty-first (or repeal) amendment
was submitted, Batoon declared he
will confer again with Murray in the
hopes of paving the way for an early
expreasion from Oklahoma voters.

submission resolution in the regular
session, vetoed after adjournment by
Murray, and asserted again Wednes-
day. "I believe it is only fair that the
people have a vote on the subject ”

The six-foot youth was in the coun-

hours, before making the alleged con-

Kansas City on a visit, and denied at
first there had been any trouble, Rob-

The break came, according to Rob-

the broken gun, still covered with
blood, pieces of hair and flesh.
"I will tell you all about it if you’ll

"No,” Roberson Mid he replied,
‘well make no promises. If you don’t
want to tell, we'll let the evidence de-

and no promises."
Miller then said, according to Rob-

that railroad managements will yield
their insistence on a wage reduction
for their employes to the administra-
tion request for a delay.
• Although a complete backdown by
the railroad managers was not ex-
pected, the feeling was expressed that
they will at least yield to the extent
of waiving the 12% percent additional
reduction which they notified the
union chiefs last week would become
effective November 1.
Probabilities appeared to be that the
suggestion for maintenance of the
present status, advanced Tuesday by
Joseph B Eastman, co-ordinator of
transportation and administration
railroad spokesman, will be accepted.
One of the questions discussed at
the conference Wednesday between
Eastman and the management com-
mittee of the carriers was whether the
status quo shall be maintained for six
months from November 1.
The present agreement under which
the railroad employes are working ex-
pires November 1. Under this, a cut
of 10 percent in wages became effec-
tive 18 months ago, but unless some-
thing is done, they automatically re-
vert to the old and higher wage scale.
The management committee met in
executive session immediately after
conferring with Eastman to discuss
the situation and to endeavor toreach
some proposal the co-ordinator can
take to railroad labor chiefs.

government of Siam again had
changed hands Wednesday as a re-

pHICAGO. IU., June 21.— Unless
U my mentality is4 badly out of fo-
cus. the most exquisite bit of artistry
among the thousands of exhibits is
the jade pagoda in the Chinese sec-
tion A miniature pagoda, with temple,
terraces, fences and ornaments all
carved out of one huge block of green
and white jade, shows the acme of an
art that was old when Caesar Au-
gustus was collecting taxes. The cen-
tral tower is about 4 feet in height.
The whole group is in an enclosing
jade fence, 5 feet square. Lights on
the interior of the Jade vases and ves-
1 sels bring out the exquisite harmony
of each one of the 1,400 carved pieces.
The merchant whose miners quar-
ried the huge block kept his treasure
for 4 years before deciding what to
do with it. He took another year to
•elect the master cutter. Then 300
men and 3 years were required to get
the job done. The, thing is not for
sale. The owner holds it at a value of
• million and a half in our money.
The Chinese people have not seen it.
