LEGION HEAD STRONG
AGAINST INTOLERANCE
CINCINNATI, July 17.—Dpidaring
that there is no room for intoler
ance in the United States, Alvin
Owsley, National Commander of the
American Legion, made a strong plea
for American unity, regardless of
nationality or religious beliefs, in
and address delivered recently at
the cornerstone laying of the St.
Vincent de Paul Church In Cincin
nati, of which Father P., O’Connor,
Legion National Chaplain, is pastor.
"America is ralltnfc today ag she
has called never before for strong
men and women to stand and preach
the doctrines of America," Command
ed Owsley said. "There is no room
In America for intolerance, no thought
that should divide us, for we are
living under the supreme law of the
United States, the Constitution,
which gives the right to worship
Ood according to the dictates of our
conscience.
Owsley assailed radical tendencies
prevailing in the nation in recent
years and urged deportation of per
sons who would seek to tear down
the country's flag.

school house at Petersburg has been

tion Co. The building 1s to cost

Accept bond* of the City of Peters

BATTLING SIKI

PARIS, -July IT. Rattling Slki,
Inpoverlshed by a legal attachment
against Ills lighting income, Is again
running wild, lie was taken to the
Mon Marte police station last night
after a free-tor-all fight in an all
night resort. The trouble arose

CO-ED LOSER IN
$25,000 CASE
NEW YORK, July 17.—Miss Eliza
beth Thorne, twenty years old, Smith
College graduate, has lost her breach
of promise suit In which she sought
to obtain payments of $20,000 she
said William L. Saunders, million
aire tool manufacturer of Yonkers
had promised her for the return of
two dozen love letters Saunders Is
alleged to have writtten o her.
Miss Thorne and Mr. Saunders
became very good friends, according I
to the girl after she was employed
at the Saunders mansion In Yonk
ers, three years ago to tutor the
two children of Mr. and Mrs. Saun
ders.
In her suit, started last October,
os a test case to collect $2,000 al
leged due on her contract with the
millionaire. Miss Thorne testified
she returned the letters and was
to receive $25,000 in installments
of $200 a month. Payment lapsed
last fall, she charged.
Auto Accidents
Jumped 42 Per Cent
In Three Years
___ 1
NEW YORK, July 17.—Lax super-j
union of motor vehicle drivers and;
ih: resultant increase of 42 per cent. |
In the automobile death rate .duringj
the past three years, is due to the
fat i that the majority of the State j
legislators are from rural districts'
whue. strict examination and regls
t ration of drivers is not a vital mat
ter, according to a report submitted
by William J. Cox, traffic accident j
research engineer, to the National
Bureau of Casualty and Surety Un-j
derwrlters. There were 14,000 deaths
from motor accidents last year, he i
said.
After a thorough Investigation of
the problem, and a careful examina
tion of the records of some 300,0001
accidents, Mr. Cox has prepared a1
table showing that registration and j
examination of all drivers is the only '
method of stopping the rising num-.
her of traffic casualties.
In Maryland, Massuchusottts, ami j
Connecticut, where strict supervision
of drivers is maintained, casualties
, have fallen off 2 per cent., while
inci easing 42 p'*r cent, over the
country. According to Mr. Cox's fi
gures, there would have been 4,300
lower deaths from automobiles in
1922 had the percentage of these
three states been universal.
“Only seven states require the |
examination of all motor vehicle op I
erators," said the report, “while 35 |
States require only chauffeurs to be I
licensed, and many of these arc'
never examined. An automobile j
driver's license must he something!
to be acquired through merit, and i
not through the payment of half,
a dollar."
TO SALVAGE $5,000,000 IN GOLD
LONDON, July 17.—After nearly,
a month's salvage work, the wreck,
of the Peninsula and Orient liner
Egypt, which was sunk off Ushantj
in collision early in 1922 Is be-t
llvqd to have been located. The!
bullion on the sunken vessel Is said'
to amount to $5,000,000, and Brit-1
Ith engineers and salvage expertu!
have undertaken to recover it .
