PARIS, June 10.—The French Senate last evening was the scene of a heated debate on the question whether Roquefort cheese should only be entitied to the name Roquefort when made from sheep's milk and ripened in the Roquefort caves. The pro-Roquefort senators’ de- mand to that effect was challengad by the pro-Gruyere senators, who argued that the departments pro- ducing Gruvere cheese had to pay an export tax of 16 per cent, while Roquefort paid no tax, and there- fort that it was only just to al- low the Gruvere departments to make “Roquefort” even from cows' milk as compensation. During the debate one of the speakers quoted tributes which he sald had been pald to Roquefort cheese by Pliny, the elder, and Julius Caesar. No decision was reached. CONVICTED OF FRAUD.

GALESBURG, IlL, June 10.—Mel- ville E. Stone, counselor of the As- sociated Press and for 25 years its general manager. was given the de- gree of doctor of laws today at Knox College, where 80 years ago his mother and father met for the first time as students. It was in 1843 that Elijah Stone of Brunswick, Ill, and Sophia Creigh- ton of Canton, Ill., were registered in the Knox Academy. They were mar- ried three years later. Today, before a large graduating class and com- mencement crowds, DF. Charles E. McKinley, acting president of Knox, bestowed the degree of LL. D. on their son as one who has contributed greatly to modern journalism. “Melville E. Stone, journalist, editor, author, founder of one of America's great dailies and head for many years of its greatest news gathering agency,” Dr. McKinley said, in bestow- ing the degree, “‘we claim you today & son of Knox in that your father and mother first met as students here in those early days before the college had ever had a commencement or a graduate; and by vote and direction of the board of trustees I confer upon you the honorary degree of doctor of laws and admit you to all the privileges, honors and dignities ‘which here and elsewhere pertain to that degree.” Mr. Stone, in recelving the from Knox College, takes h!lm with Abraham Lincoln and many others on the list of honorary alumni associated with the traditions of Knox. several formance, comfort Let us take you | | | m ELEVENTH ST.

To touring comfort, add absolute safety at all times. The magnificent springs, axles, steering apparatus and brakes have never been known to fail —and some cars are now rolling up over 500,000 miles.

PLACATE IRATE OWNERS IN LAND SALE SQUABBLE Procedure by Arkansas Officials in Matter of Road Improvement Awaits Legislative Action. By the Associated Press. NASHVILLE, Ark., June 10.— Difficulties growing out of efforts by cliroult court officlals to sell land in road improvement districts in Howard County were believed last night to have been settled. Circuit Court Clerk E. W. Smith, who was seized by several hundred frate land owners and Zorced to take retuge in his office when he attempted to carry out a Chancery Court order to sell their lands, announced late yesterday that, representatives of bond holders and land owners had reached an agreement. The clerk said the bond holders had agreed that there would be no bids at the sale today, and the matter would be permitted to go over until the 1927 Legislature meets. At that time it is hoped remedial legislation can be secured that will protect the land owners and bond holders alike. In real life the unkempt hair of the poet is simply mussed.
