MI NESOTA SENDS PLATFORM WIT TO SUCCEED NEWTON IN CONGRESS MINNEAPOLIS, July 17.—Minne- | sota offers a candidate—in the per- son of W. I. Nolan, representative- clect—for the relief of the lamented dullness in the Congressional Rec- ord with a little intentional hu- mor. Nolan, lieutenant governor, a Re- publican, was chosen to succeed Walter Newtan, representative from the fifth district, who resigned after his appointment as secretary to President Hoover. The proof-sheets will show that Nolan has been a professional lec- turer and humorous entertainer for 25 years. The chatauqua platform has known him. Nolan, however, plans to serve in Congress as a “listener.” “It is my conviction that too much talk has killed many good bills,” he observed. “Most of us are too long-winded.” Nolan tried out his voice first as a newsboy. . Soon after he became |an amateur actor, while his news- | boy colleague, the late Dr. Marion Leroy Burton, began a career that carried him to the presidency of the Universities of Michigan and Minnesota. In 1894, when William McKinley made his keynote speech in Minne- apolis, “Bill” Nolan, 20, entertained the crowd with a dialect speech chiding the Cleveland administra- tion. The next day he was “copy” on front pages all over the country and 9,000 persons who heard him emphasized the hit he had made by inviting him to many states to give his reading. Despite Nolan's avowed inten- tions to listen to Congress, Minne- sota folks are confident that “Bill” the Record. 'S” MAY BE GIVEN HABITUAL CRIMINALS| OAKLAND, July 17.—Lloyd E.

From the condition of the bodies, a leak in the system indicated methyl-chloride gas responsible. The dead are Joseph Painter, his wife Mary, and son Joseph, Jr. After the tragedy and investiga-| tion, the Coroner ordered immed-' jate suspension of all systems us- ing methyl-chloride gas. It is estimated that 75,000 in-' stallations handling 500,000 units will be put out of commission. E. W. Kritzer, Vice-President of the company making the plant used in the apartment building, agreed to help the coroner to eliminate the use of methyl-chloride gas. Kritzer said $60,000,000 are in- vested in the systems and predicted that many small contractors are financially unable to makea change to another refrigerant and will be put out of business. ——ee - Italy, having plenty of soldiery, will give a few humorous lines to[has closed enlistments in the four Baby Schneider’'s cdse, so far, /is principal arms for a year. day and one-half there.
