Halle, Germany.--The security pe- • ^flce organisation of middle Germany, hlch has been the scene of wlded Bolshevik agitation and freuent clashes between communists d government forces, has developed j* system of espionage which enables ft to record thj dally activities of vir- ~ly every citizen and to trace inutely the movements of strangers. The latter, however, without excep- Ion, are treated as suspicions charters until the authorities are conced their business Is legitimate and Ir intentions honorable. Even with most genuine official documents, police are not easily persuaded^ t a stranger, and particularly a, foreigner, la not pondering deep plots and dark deeds against the toverntnent. In the latest rioting here and in other central German cities, when nearly 4,000 communists were arrestled, innocent circumstances often assumed a sinister aspect in the minds |pf the police. Correspondent Twice Arreted. The Associated Press correspondent, who had been many times examined py minor officials and frequently Searched, was twice formally ^rrested and subjected to cross-examination by the superintendent of the district? police forces. "Wo know all about you," said this tnan when the correspondent was taken before him, and from a card he fread the record of the American's ^movements for the three days he had been in the district He Knew the contents of telegrams which bad been sent In English, had record of conversations held with German officials, communists, hotel waiters, porters, policemen on the streets and chauffeurs. He was, however, In doubt about the correspondent's opinions regarding communism and wanted to know about a certain interview with leaders of communists who were near Elslefjen. Communists In Majority. "You made a speech to them and appeared to have been favorably received," he said. "What was your purpose and what did you say?" Assured there had been no speechmaking, the superintendent summoned the chauffeur, who had been employed by the correspondent in an effort to reach the communists. The official finally was convinced the visit was only for the purpose of securing Information and that no influence, except an American passport as identification, was empiagpi'over the TStlSla Be then disaatoid the <MHHMpnndent, who, however, next day was again arrested as he entered the local police headquarters. There followed another examination which ended only when the American threatened to re*- port the treatment he had received to the proper government official in Berlin.

New York, will soon be permanently abolished, and a gigantic indoor hall Is being completed where the market can go on under revised conditions. For many years visitors , from all over lite globe have vi$U$U this peculiar qutdoor stock market thoroughfare. « from becoming a national dlsgraca.^_ In consequence of her action 1,000,- 000 drachmae (equivalent to about $75,000 at present rates of exchange) were collected for the benefit of the refugees and 15 additional physicians were sent to Salonlkl The miserable condition of the refugees had been reported to the queen by Colonel Olds, the American Red Cross commissioner for Europe, whs Inspected their camp. Queen Sophie then sent Dr. Theophanos Aggelopoulos, an eminent sanitary expert, as her personal representative to take charge of the camp. He brought a corps of ten physicians. Until that time only one physician had administered to the thousands 1H among the refugees. There had been no one to look aftar sanitation. Americans 8end AM. The American Red Cross has sent to Salonlkl Col. Henry A. Shaw of ths United States army medical corps, with a party of physicians and nurses to aid the Greek government in the care of the refugees. Colonel Shaw plans to gather 1,000 of the orphans In old French barracks, several miles from the present camp, where the children will be given medical attention, while food will be furnished by the Greek government. The expenses of this work will be borne by the gov- ! eminent. Miss Lillian Spellman, a Boston nurse, Is conducting a Red Cross dispensary at the camp, where she distributes cans of milk and soon will distribute clothing to the small children. Many of the refugees were lured by promise of rich lands in Macedonia, but the majority fled from the Caucasus, before the advances of the Bolshevik! and the Turkish nationals under Kenial Pasha. 1,000 Die in Month. The 20,000 are huddled together In barracks which were not Intended to hold half that number. A Red Cross Inspector who visited the camp reports that disease such as typhus, dysentery and Influenza Is prevalent, and that more than 1.000 of the refugees died within a month. The Greek governor. General Zaclt- «acos, Is In despair, for he expects 15,- 000 additional refugees to arrive soon and says that there are more than 50,- 000 others trying to reach Greece. The fund appropriated by the Greek government to feed, clothe and provide medical attention will be exhausted within a month, say the relief agents.

Turks Are Still Polite "Courtesy About All We Have Left/' Says Ruler's Heir. Official and Wealthy Turk Retains Grand Manner Which Marked People for Ages Back. Constantinople.--The contrast between the manners of the > Turk and the people of the western nations who mingle on the streets of (|l'« ancient capital Is striking. Courtesy to a stranger Is a quality still preserved from the ruins of the Ottoman empire. "Courtesy is about all we have left and we still try to hold on to that" said Abdul Medjld Effendi, heir-presumptive to the throne, who Is himself a model of quiet kindness and distinguished manners. Tbe official and wealthy Turk retains still a certain grand manner which would have belonged to another age in western Europe or the United States. He carries himself with dignity, If not with modesty. Deep Is the contrast between him and the soldiers and civilians brought here by the allied occupation of Constantinople or seeking trade or adventure. These tramp up and down the streets, sometimes sober, sometimes drunk, depending on the time of night, elbowing, fighting, swearing, brawling, as It suits their humor. Stamboul. the Turkish quarter, becomes a sedate place at nightfall, while Pera. the European quarter, drops Its daylight garb of trooping throngs and reckless drivers and becomes a city of Immense capacity for evil. Gambling dens, cafes and dance halls open and sailors from tbe fleets come ashore and declare they "will not go home until morning." Mike Champion Runaway New York Youngster of SI* Reocued from Forty-fifth Spasm of Wanderlust. New York. -- Six-year-old Michael Clement!, the hop-a-wagon, steal-a-ride and runaway champion, is back home after having been rescued from his forty-fifth spasm of wanderlust. In ten months Mike has disappeared from home at least once a week, his • father told the police. Sunday afternoon Mike was absent at meal time, and Papa Clement! notified police headquarters. Mike turned up the next morning in the Coney Island station. He was claimed by bis father and mother, taken home then started to school. He hopped a wagon, rode to a subway station, eluded the ticket agent, rode to Manhattan, climbed atop a Fifth avenue bus and hid himself under a seat. A policeman hauled Mike from the ibus, and tbe closing scenes of the forty* fifth episode were a police station and a woodshed. Mike answered tali call at school today. ADOPTS WOMAN OF 50 YEARS Treated as Daughter Since She Was 8ix--Is Made So Legally by New York Court. New York.--Miss Mary Sherwood, who at the age of six took the place in the family and affections of Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Webb which had been occupied by their only daughter, who died a few years before, has received the rjght to legally use the name her foster parents bestowed on her forty-four years ago and by which she has been known ever since. When the Webbs first took her into their home in 1877, Mrs. Webb bestowed upon her the name of Maimee 8. Webb. During the long years that followed they never thought to take " i^r » r. ,• out formal adoption papers. Recently, however, Surrogate Foley at Mr. Webb's request affixed his signature to the paper that assured the fiftyyear- old woman her legal status as the daughter and heir of her foster father. BUCK CAT LIKES JOY RIDES Insists on Mounting to Top of Automobile Every Time Owner * Leaves Hems. Haddonfleld, N. J.--Whenever Dr. A. K. Wood backs his sedan out of the drive alongside his home members of the family are obliged to make sure that "Tee," the black feline pet. Is not perched on top of the caq|\lnsisting upon a ride. Several times lately the doctor has been obliged to sto'fr somewhere down the street because some one has discovered the pet serenely holding on, despite the smooth surface of the top. With a hand-operated machine invented by an Iowan one man can plant an acre of onion sets In a day. Administration Act Promised Rough Sledding by Group of Senators Banded Together to Prevent Passage in Present Form. Springfield.--Senate Ad house committees are clearing their calendars rapidly. Among the last bills to'be reported to the house before the weekend. adjournment were the Illinois prohibition bill which passed the senate a few days ago, the Healy motionpicture censorship bill, the full-crew bill and several revenue measures. The house revenue committee reported out Chairman Young's bill doubling the Inheritance tax, his amendment to the Juul law exempting school taxes for educational purposes from scaling and his bill Increasing the tax from 1 to 2 per cent or even 3 per cent upon a favorable referendum. The house amended the committee tax bill to fix the Chicago corporate rate of $1.85 In accordance with the recommendations of the committee, which followed the suggestion of members of the cltjj council. The downstate corporate rate remains at $1.33 1-3. The Healy censorship bill creates a state board of censors of five members to be appointed by the governor to regulate the exhibition of films. Salaries of $5,000 are provided for the members of the board whose secretary would receive $3,000. The Hart full-crew bill requires railroads to cary crews of at least five men on freight trains of less than :>0 oars, with an extra brakeman for each additional 25 cars. Passenger trains are required to carry crews of five and engines running light nrust carry three men. Senator Wheeler's county health commissioner bill authorizing the governor to appoint a commissioner in every county is still hung up In the house committee on efficiency and economy, and, according to some members of the committee, has little chance of getting out One of the hottest fights of the session came when the house passed the waterways committee's amendment to the Chicago sanitary district bill by a vote of 92 to 31. The bill Increases the salaries of the commissioners from $5,000 to $7,500, provides for election of the president by the trustees from their own membership and requires the district to have in operation by 1925 sewage treatment plants which will stop pollution of the Illinois river. The bill was attacked by opponents ns a "salary grab." Representatives from territory in the Illinois river valley, led by Representative LaPorte of Peoria, fought for adoption of tbe measure because of Its sewage treatment clause. Representative Selfs bill prohibiting physicians from charging more than $1 for liquor prescriptions was advanced to third reading in the house. While the administration leaders are looking around for tax bills to kill in order to cut down the rising cost of taxation, Governor Small bent every effort toward removing the unexpected obstacles to the public utilities measure which have arisen In the senate. A little group of influential state senators. It was learned, have banded together to prevent the passage of the utilities measure in Its present form. They insist on the removal of the home rule clause, stating that the measure in its present form will result in all sorts of added trouble for the downstate senators. Governor Small called a number of the leading objectors into his office, among them Senator Richard Barr of Jollet. He Is said to have asserted that failure to pass the bill as it now stands will result in a severe blow to the prestige of his administration. So many bills have been railroaded through the senate In the last few weeks under pressure of his forces that the governor feels the charge Is certain to be raised against him that he was not sincerely in favor of the home-rule proposition from the outset, despite liis campajin promises to the contrary. The cry of added expenses has brought <about a general sfcirch for tax-creating bills which can be slaughtered. Among the measures which are marked to remain unpassed when the legislature adjourns Is that sponsored by Health Commissioner Robertson of Chicago providing for the appointment of a health officer in each county. Reformer Barred by the House. Rev. O. B. Johnson, Indiana reformer, who has recently been fighting for blue laws before the Illinois legislature, was barred from appearing before the house. The house advanced committee bill 688, providing for a state boxing commission, to third reading. L. S. Myers of Pontiac, backed by other members of the American Legion, followed with a resolution asking that the' privileges of the floor and gallery be deiiied to-Rev. Mr. Johnson and inviting the clergyman to leave forthwith. To Survey State Boundary Line. A survey of the entire state boundary line between Wisconsin and Illinois will be made by federal rurveyors to correct inaccuracies, according to information received from Gov. John J. Blaine of Wisconsin, and Gov. Len Small of Illinois. The survey is regarded as important to Beloit, Wis., and South Beloit. 111., because these cities are adjacent to the line as-now recognized. The dispute over the boundary Is of long standing and the situation at Belott lt % sabject of specific contention* '•;* State Favors Federal Road Aid. Illinois, with 47 other states in ths Union has Joined In solid support off President Harding's demand that the government co-operate with the states In the building of a highway systeqt to aid in marketing crops and increase the transportation facilities of Interstate commerce and assist in natlopal defense. The executive committee of ihe organization of state highway officials after meeting with President Harding, Secretary Wallace, Congressman Dowell, ranking member of the roads' committee of the house and Senator Townsend, chairman of tlfe post roads committee of the senate, has perfected a bill which congress will be asked to pass. Under the proposal, each state highway department shall select not to exceed 7 per cent of the total road mileage, as shown on the records of the highway departments of the various states at the time of the passage of the bill. Upon this system all federal aid apportionments shall be expended. These federal aid roads would be -divided Into two classes, one to be known as primary or Interstate roods and not to exceed three-sevenths of the total mileage which would receive federal aid, and the second class to be known as secondary or Intercounty roads and to consist of the balance of the mileage that would receive federal aid. The first aim will be to give preference to such projects as will hasten the completion of system of roads. . "After Every Meal" Bids Submitted for Read Wfffc, ' ^ Surprisingly low bids were received In the several hundred opened here the past week by the state highway department on state aid roads, roadgrading and bridgp work. A wide variance In the figures submitted, marked the road-grading and bridge work bids, highway department officials said. The board of supervisors of Vermilion county, competing for state aid roads contract submitted the lowest figures for the work and Incidentally the lowest ever received by the department under Small's administration. The contract for three sections of roods In Vermilion county will be given to that county under the provision of the new Holaday bill. This act, recently made a law, permits counties to bid for road work. On section 1, route 9, Vermilion county, 4.26 miles, the county's price was $72,451.07; on section 2, 0.03 miles, $107,750.08, and on section 9, route 10, 2.04 miles, $38,400.78, totaling $218,600.13 for the 12.33 miles of road, or approximately $17,735 per mile. Adding the approximate $7,000 per mile for cement, these roads will cost the state approximately $24,735 per mile, which 1s lopping off a goodsized lump from what contractors have asked previously. Tegge Construction Company of Paplnecln will be awarded the contract for 2.05 miles of road in Ford county, having submitted the low figure, $43,743.93, which Is approximately $21,338 per mile, exclusive of cement. On the Zlon City road, section M, Lake county, one mile of road, the Cook County Construction company submitted $22,- 780.06, the lowest for the work. On the grading work the figures announced are subject to change, but the probable low bidders are as follows : Sections 14A and 15A, route 4, 15.7 miles, McLean county. Cameron, Joyce & Company, Keokuk, la., on a combination bid of $54,329.22; section 4A, route 15, 2.58 mile's, Clinton and Washington counties, C. R. Rummenu company, Cleveland, O., $67,- 384.45; section 17D, route 15, l.W miles, Wayne county, Mantz and Oren, Effingham, $6,962.04; section 23 A, route 15, 3.11 miles, Wayne county, Cameron, Joyce & Company, Keokuk, la., $22,290.24; sections 3A, 4A and 5A, route 31, 15 miles, Adams and Brown counties, A. C. McCoy, Perry, $52,497.82. Bridge contracts probably will go to the following: Section 111, route 4, Cook county, to H. G. Halleck, Oak Park, $24,331.50; section 14B, route 4, McLean county, E. S. Kent & Company, Grldley, $16,656.07; section 15B, route 4, McLean county, E. S. Kent & Company, Gridley, $7,678.40; section 14C, route 4, McLean county, St Louis Structural Steel company, St. Louis, Mo., $11,- 992.50; section 4B, route 15, Clinton and Washington counties, Parkham Construction company, East St. Lou^s, $56,130.50; section 4C, Clinton and Washington counties, St. Louis Structural Steel company, $40,891.11; section 4D, route 15, Clinton and Washington counties, General Construction company, St. Louis, Mo., $42,183.30; section 4E, route 15, Clinton and Washington counties. Parkham Construction company, East St» Louis, $46,653.50. ' Want Canada Thistle Out. Immediate and relentless war on the Canada thistle Is urged by farm bureaus over the state. Sentiment, several farm advisors say. Is entirely too slack concerning this pestiferous plant. Attention Is called to the fact that many townshjlfe In the state have specially appointed Canada thistle commissioners, who have the power to force any person, corporation or public utility to remove or pay for the removal of any Canada thistles on their property. Many other townships are preparing to appoint commissioners. Senate Kills State Police Bill. The state police bill--the measure that had the support of the business interests and most of the farmers downstate--went to Its death in the senate. The vote was 27 to 21 to postpone consideration until after the house had acted upon a similar bill. The organized labor lobby headed by John H. "Walker gets credit for what happened. The state police auxiliary committee, In charge of the bill, said that at a conference following ths vote in the senate plans were adopted for an early vote in the house. 6et tfirfee-Oatty benefit frM this low-cost aid to appetite and digestion It keeps teeth wtitte breath sweet and throat clear Makes your smokes taste better *^6iglTvsZ!«!» JUICY FRUIT TT flit V* I X< «.l M V : -A -ft- The Flavor Lasts 4-' SEES FRANCE KINGDOM AGAIN "ANGEL" OF SENATE PAGES Bserees Also Points Out That Present Leaders Are Reincarnation of Country's Great Men.

Political Opponents of Senator iUdns Aver He Is' Appearing toi En- ' tirely New Light. / When Senator Phelan of California retired from the senate there was a» air of gloom around the haunts of tits pages on the Democratic side which couldn't be dispelled.
