DESPERATE 'LIFERS' STILL UNCAPTURED STATE PENITENTIARY, EDDY-VILLE, Ky., Oct. 5.—State militiamen trying to capture three barricaded convicts with showers of machine gun bullets were preparing this forenoon to lay down a barrage under cover of which several men were to creep up with dynamite to tumble down the building where the felons were entrenched. The dynamite has already arrived. At 9:20 o'clock this morning, the trio still withstood their beogera. Prison authorities have sent to several nearby cities to secure deputy sheriffs to relieve guardsmen and regular prison guards who have been almost constantly on duty since the siege started. Two shrapnel shell attacks having failed to dislodge the men, all offensive operations were ordered suspended pending the arrival of the state board of charities and corrections who are expected here at 5:45 this afternoon from Louisville. STATE PENITENTIARY, EDDY-VILLE, Ky., Oct. 5.—"Spare no expense or property damage" was the message of Governor Morrow which came today with additional national guard troops to the battle now in its third day against three desperate felons barricaded in the dining room of the prison. The building has been seized by machine gun fire in the effort to rout the slayers. Warden John B. Chilton is anxious that the men be captured without further loss of life and has discouraged suggestions of a charge on the building. The fact that one or more of the trio still may be alive can be laid to the natural advantages of the dining room as a gun shelter. Dynamite probably will supplement today the work of the machine gun bullets in drilling a hole six feet square in one side of the foot thick wall of the convicts' fortress. The twenty-five national guardsmen first sent to the prison under command of Captain Allen Radfield will be reinforced today with a squad under command of Captain Gavin A. Stanton. ATKINSON WINNER IN 250-KILOMETER ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.—Jack Atkinson, 25, of Omaha, piloting a Bellanca monoplane, won the 250-kilometer aviation country club of Detroit trophy race today after the most gruelling event yet witnessed at the international air races here. There were more than 15,000 spectators. Only three of the seven contestants finished. Atkinson's speed averaged 94.28 miles an hour. P. G. Hutton, Wichita, Kans., piloting a Laird Swallow, returned to the contest after being forced down early in the race and finished second. His average speed was 87.05 miles per hour. Charles S.Jones, of Garden City, L. I., piloting a Curtiss Oriole, was third. His average was 82.60 miles an hour. Atkinson was qualified for a pilot only this morning so that: MARRIAGE DIVORCED KANSAS CITY thousand nine hundred marriages.

The twenty-five national guardsmen first sent to the prison under command of Captain Allen Radfield will be reinforced today with a squad under command of Captain Crawford, of Mayfield, Ky. Governor Morrow is taking a strong interest in the capture of the rebellious prisoners and personally directed this latest troop movement over long distance telephone from Fulton, Ky. "We will get these desperadoes, dead or alive, today," was Captain Radfield's promise. WANTS CREMATION MORE ELABORATE PARIS, Oct. 5.—M. Loyau, member of the Paris city council, wants to make cremation ceremonies in Pere Lachaise cemetery more attractive. The waiting room of the incinerator is too bare, cold, damp and disagreeable. Loyau said in outlining to the council a proposition to heat the room, properly furnish it and provide free music for all cremation ceremonies. Loyau's chief argument was that the more attractive cremation exercise were made the more valuable room would be saved in Paris cemeteries. Opponents pointed out that cremation is forbidden by the Catholic church, therefore it would be limited to French and foreign Protestants in Paris, and the expense would be unwarranted. Says Piles Heal Up and Disappear Forever Soldom Falls to Give Absolute Relief from all Pain and Suffering. Guaranteed by Gibson's Drug Store and All Good Drugsists. Many sufferers from Piles or Hemorrhoids have become despondent because they have been led to believe that their case was hopeless and that there was nothing in the world to help them. To these people we say, "Go to your druggist and get an original box of MOAVA SUPPOSITIONS." One of these inserted into the rectum according to directions will be found to give immediate relief. They reach the source of the trouble and by their soothing, healing, antiseptic action first allay the pain and soreness and then by direct contact with the ulcers. Only three of the seven contestants finished. Atkinson's speed averaged 94.23 miles an hour. P. G. Hutton, Wichita, Kana, piloting a Laird Swallow, returned to the contest after being forced down early in the race and finished second. His average speed was 87.02 miles per hour. Charles S Jones, of Garden City, L. I., piloting a Curtiss Oriole, was third. His average was 82.69 miles an hour. Atkinson was qualified for a pilot only this morning so that he could enter the race. Five of the seven filers who started were forced down during the contest. Two regained the air and only three finished. GRAND JURY CALLS MANY WITNESSES OAKLAND, Oct. 5.—A score of witnesses today were waiting to be called when the county grand jury assembled today to begin its investigation of Henry Gloy, Jr., glove manufacturer, shot to death by bandits Sunday night. Testimony will be directed against two suspects, Frank Grant, San Francisco, and M. J. McGuire, labor leader and politician, who last night was released from the city jail, where he had been held since Monday as a suspect. Both McGuire and his wife, who made conflicting statements to police when questioned following McGuire's arrest for investigation, were called before the jury. Charles M. Fickert, former San Francisco district attorney, is expected to throw a bombshell into the hearing. If called as a witness. Fickert has volunteered as a witness to testify that McGuire came to him two years ago and asked Fickert to "lay off" prosecution of Leonard Orr, the bandit leader. Orr was charged then with robbing Fickert's home. ALLEGED BANDIT LEADER SENTENCED VISALIA, Oct. 5.—Counsel for the defense, not making a motion, a new trial, or serving notice of appeal of the case, as was expected. Frank Starr, alleged leader of a gang of thieves operating out of Sacramento, was sentenced today to serve from one to 15 years in San Quentin prison by Superior Judge W. B. Wallace before whom he was convicted last week of robbing the Cutler filling station a year ago. Starr was prosecuted here under the old state law. Had he been tried under the new law, this sentence would have been life imprisonment because he had three prior convictions against him. Because of three charges still pending against him, one in Yolo county, one in Sacramento, and one in Stockton, the court refused to release his suittee containing a Many sufferers from Piles or Hemorrhoids have become despondent because they have been led to believe that their case was hopeless and that there was nothing in the world to help them.

They reach the source of the trouble and by their soothing, healing, antiseptic action first allay the pain and soreness and then by direct contact with the ulcers and piles cause them to heal up and disappear forever. It is simply wonderful how speedily they act. Blessed relief often comes in two days. Even in cases that have steadily resisted all known treatments, marvelous results have been obtained. MOAVA is one of the wonderful discoveries of recent years and any sufferer from Piles or Hemorrhoids who is disappointed with its use can have their money refunded.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 5.—Eight thousand nine hundred and forty-six marriages. No, it is not a girl who has outdistanced Peggy Hopkins Joyce, or even a modern Solomon. It's the record of the "marrying justice" of Poplar Bluff, Mo., who, according to the log in his office, has tied 8946 nuptial knots. Judge D. B. Deems is responsible for making the little Missouri town the Greta Green for boys and girls who no longer are listed as youthful. The justice has volunteered to propose to any young woman if her bashful suitor is too timid to say the words. Furthermore, he will serve in the same capacity for basinful girls. Judge Deems says he is not "choosey." In fact, he will do everything except find the girl or boy, he says. But Cupid has not always hovered over Poplar Bluff. His absence was the very thing that led the "marry." STRICT RULES FOR U. OF M. CO-EDS. ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 5.—No automobile or canoe riding without permission from home. Must not stay out after 11 p.m. These two new regulations confront University of Michigan co-eds this year, according to announcement today by Miss Jean Hamilton, dear of women. As to smoking, Miss Hamilton has left it up to the girls themselves. Co-eds will vote on this, and smoking will be permitted in league houses where the girls approve. Dean Hamilton gives considerable attention to just what is a proper parlor wherein romance may bud. The regulation in this connection says, in part: "Glass doors are allowed. The door in the front hall must be kept open. The shades must be kept up. Houses with large verandas must either have a light upon them or a COSMOPOLITAN IS KANSAS CITY KANSAS CITY, Oct. 5.—Kansas City—truly called the gateway to the southwest—is a unique sort of a metropolis: Petticoat lane has a touch of Fifth avenue femininity into which is blended the picturesque wide-brimmed hats and the cowhide boots of the rangy cowboys from down in the sun-baked cattle country. There are other districts where one sees the sulen, hang-dog expression of the dark-faced, shitty; eyed "breeds" in the Calle de Diables of El Paso and where a cocked 45 would feel more congruous than a walking stick. Each hotel lobby has a lingo—a round-table subject—all its own. In one, a very stylish hotel, it's "Oh, Lady, Lady!" The reminiscences of those who "have taken their fun where they found it," and who now are ready to "rove and range" some more. Another talks about oil—the twinkling little lights over the oil fields—of gushers, a thousand barrels a day, and of millionaires made overnight. Sometimes you find a four-in-hand cravat with a full dress there—but who cares if he's backed by a hundred oil wells. Yet one doesn't see many evening clothes. Mostly rain and sun colored sombreros and rough muddy boots—the conversation about this and that, 10,000 head of fat helfers, grasing lands baked by the long drought, and cattle rustlers work in the night. Just to sit around and listen in any of them—it's to breathe a breath of Bret Harte and O. Henry. UNRULY CUPID WINKS AT EUGENICS LONDON, Oct. 5.—"Love is such an unruly force that if young people are brought together often enough the affections will let loose, however unwise such a proceeding may be." Leonard Darwin, president of the FAILS FOUR TIMES TO TAKE OWN LIFE ATLAN7A, Oct. 2.—A pair of shoestrings, the only weapons left her, used by pretty 15-year-old Maggie Bedford, of this city, in culminating her fifth unsuccessful attempt at suicide within 12 hours. The sudden attack of suicide mana resulted through mistreatment at home, Maggie told the police. "I am determined not to live any longer," she declared. Her first attempt was an effort to jump out the office window of the chief of police, where she had been brought following her first threat to kill herself. There later followed another attempt at leaping from the window after she had been placed in charge of the chief matron. She then draw a razor from concealment and sought to slash her throat. Her fourth attempt came after she had been removed to a Juvenile Detention Home, where she tried to hang herself with a chain. The disheartened and lonely little girl lay back on her couch sadly disappointed, but determined, still, to end her life. A close watch was kept on her while a bit of investigation into her home life was made.

UNRULY CUPID WINKS AT EUGENICS LONDON, Oct. 5.—"Love is such an unruly force that if young people are brought together often enough the affections will let loose, however unwise such a proceeding may be." Leonard Darwin, president of the English Eugenics Educational society, and fourth son of the world-famous Charles Darwin, makes this statement and admits that "unruly love" is one of the barriers to the complete success of eugenics. "High ideals will doubtless tell for much in the choice of a mate; but only if opportunities are given before it is too late for making a suitable choice." If parents—both parents, I should say—will follow the rule of never making friends with persons they cannot respect; they will be creating a family circle in which their children will be likely to make worthy friendships. The rest had better be left to the young people themselves; except that they should be taught that parenthood is one of the very highest duties imposed on human beings, a duty which must never be either carelessly undertaken or selfishly avoided in order either to promote comfort or to rise in the social scale. This is the main eugenic lesson which the nation must learn if it is to maintain its noble traditions in the distant future. CALDWELL REMAINS NOW IN LOS ANGELES LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5.—Accompanied by six members of wealthy and exclusive Monticito families, the body of Mrs. Stella P. Caldwell, society leader, and well known here and in San Francisco, who is believed to have committed suicide at her home near Santa Barbara, was brot here today. Final rites for Mrs. Caldwell, who was also prominent in society circles in New York and Louisville, were to be held here late this afternoon. Those who accompanied the body to Los Angeles were: Mr. and Mrs. William Bliss, Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt Parshall and Major and Mrs. Max Fleishmann.

GREAT CROWDS GREET WAR- Average American Dies Younger Than People of Other Countries COLD statistics have shot holes in the popular belief that America is the healthiest country in the world to live in. Presumed centre of surgical knowledge, discoverer of antidotes and anti-toxins, world leader in therapeutics, obstetrics and a dozen other branches of the medical science though we are, it is nevertheless a fact that elsewhere in this world people live longer. The proofs are in the possession of the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn., and the chart reproduced above, is the evidence. It will be noted that only this country's white population is considered, a fact which gives us a far better showing than we would have with the black included. Just a glance at it will show that in Australia the death rate in the first seventy years of life is less than in any other country; that Sweden is second in longevity, and that England passes the United States along about the average year of thirty-five and maintains a lower mortality rate in the course of the subsequent thirty-five years. The information is gathered from groups of 100,000 people in each of the above countries, and in Germany, Italy and India. The graph shows the scale of years across the top, and the survivals in a graduated scale down the side. Each nation has its arc of mortality. Follow down the year of forty to where it touches the various curved lines and then run your eye over to the survival rate. It is astounding to learn that at age Australia has 78,900 survivors out of the 100,000; Sweden, 73,000 survivors; England, 71,000; this country, about 70,000; Germany, 65,000; Italy, 59,000; and India, home of plagues and pestilence, has dropped clear off the chart because of its terrific death rate. The average American, white, is a pretty sturdy customer, but his British cousin apparently develops a better physique after thirty-five.

NEW LAMP BURNS 94 PER CENT AIR BEATS ELECTRIC OR GAS A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the U.S. government and 35 leading universities, and found to be superior to ten ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise—no pumping up, is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94 per cent air and 6 per cent common kerosene (coal oil). The inventor, W. A. Johnson, is offering to send a lamp on 10 days' FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality who will help him introduce it. Write him today for full particulars. Also ask him to explain how you can get the agency, and without experience or money make $250 to $500 per month. Friday, October 5, 1923. HOW DOES HE LOOK? These boys are high school students at the California Junior Republic at Chino, and are part of the group of boys who have had complete charge of this great Holstelh show bulj since he was a small calf. He is the pride and joy of the entire student body, and when he wins in the show ring the boys stage a celebration comparable to the ones other boys put on over football victories. Just now they are getting him ready for the big livestock show at the Los Angeles county fair to be held at Pomona Oct. 16-20. He was grand champion of this show last year, and they are banking on him to repeat.
