The youths were described as about 18 years of age. i They took about $200 from pat- | rons and started to leave the place when it was suddenly darkened. Fearing a trap, the youths fired in the general direction of the huddled group. Miss Barbara Lee, aged 22; and Miss Alice Ward, aged 29, were killed. Miss Mary Ganey, aged 36, is be- Heved to have been mortally wound- ed. John Gates, James Miscus and Jack O'Brine, were badly wounded.

HAM” LEWIS, STILL DAPPER AT 67, TO FIND FEW OLD CRONIES IN SENATE James Hamilton Lewis, still spry at 67, appears as dapper now as he did a dozen years ago, when he States Senate. J. HAM LEWIS— with cut By WALTER BROWN CHICAGO, Nov. 24—When the Chesterfield of President Wilson’s wartime Democratic family, James Hamilton Lewis, goes back to the United States Senate he will find few of that clan still wearing the toga. Those who served under his whip in the glamorous war years will find him grayer now. Some of the sting is gone from his tongue, and some of the fire from his leader- ship. But he is the same stylish dress- er, the same courteous individual and his voice still carries the sil- ver, honeyed tones as of old. Lewis, the Democrat, in defeating Ruth Hanna McCormick, the Re- publican, for the Illinois Senate seat closed a cycle of campaigns! and personages begun 12 years ago. Then he was defeated by Me- dill McCormick, husband of his opponent this year. Charles 8. Deneen eliminated Mc- Cormick in the primary six years later, and last spring Mrs. Mccur»' mick won over Deneen. A roll call of those whom Lewis knew when he was the Democratic whip—political friends and foes— would bring but few responses. “Woodrow Wilson, Oscar W. Un- derwood, Henry Cabot Lodge, War- ren G. Harding, Boies Penrose, R. M. LaFollette, Charles Culberson, Hoke Smith"—all are dead. James Reed has retired to pri- vate life. So has Harry New, and Gilbert M. Hitchcock, Albert Fall and Irvin Lenroot. There are a few of the old-tim- ers to greet “J. Ham,” however— James Watson, George Norris, Key Pittman, Lee Overman, Charles McNary. Lewis, a Virginian by birth, now is 67 years old. He grew up in Georgid—motherless, as she died at his birth. His father was a Con- federate veteran. James Hamilton went about as far west as possible—Washington— to seek his fortunes. He worked as a dock laborer to study law. When he returned to Georgia to marry Miss Rose Lawton Douglas he car- ried a bag of gold-coins to pay off creditors. e " Lewis, served-in the Washington State legislature and went to Con- gress from that state. He served in the Spanish-American war, emerg- ing a colonel. In 1903 he moved to Chicago, and nine years later Illi- mois sent him to the Senate. Tom B. “Czar” Reed was- the house "~ speaker when Lewis first went to Washington. He dubbed the youngster “the garrulous rain- !

The oc- casion was the Senate’s debate in 1918 on women'’s suffrage. And his last campaign was to some extent a test of that. Two women, Mrs. McCormick and Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill, opposed him. Lewis won by approximately 700-' 000 votes. | o | { Play inuoor Golf at ‘The Alaskan,\ Hotel. (adv.) Monroe Magnetic Sharpeners FOR Gillette Type Razor Blades, $2.50 ‘; Butler-Mauro Drug Co.
