THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, ‘OCT OBER 27, 1926. CTY AND COURTY NERGER DEFEATED Proposal of St. Louis to An- nex Suburbs Rejected, But Not Abandoned. By the Associated Press. ST. LOUIS, October 27.—Despite the failure of the annexation proposal in a special election yesterday the Greater §t. Louis Conference will continue its campaign_for merger of the city and 8t. Louis County, H. K. Wagner, pres- ident of that body, said today. Under an enabling act which pro- vided for holding the election, the scheme of annexation cannot be voted upon again for five years, but offl- cials of the Greater St. Louis Confer- ence asserted this provision would not prevent the organization placing the proposition on the initiative referen- dum in 1928. This they plan to do. The proposed merger suffered over- whelming defeat#at the hands of the county voters, although the proposi- tion received a majority of 7 to 1 in the city. The county voters rejected the proposal by better than a 2-tol vote. Defeated in the County. | The ecity vote was: For, 54,558;1 against, 8,067. In the county the fig- ures were: For, 10,772; against, 21,049. A majority in both city and county was necessary for passage. Adoption of the merger would have put St. Louis in more than the 1,000,000 population class. It would have increased the area of the city from 61 to 553 square miles, making this the largest city proper in area in the world, although the metropoli- tan control districts of New York andg London are larger. Defeat of the proposal in the county was the fruit of a long campaign, out of which grew the Committee Opposed to Annexation, headed by B. F. Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific Rall’ road. Plan Discussed for Months. Plans for the proposed merger were worked out by a board of freeholders composed of nine representatives, each from the county and city. Sev- eral months of discussion resulted in a 10-8 vote for the plan, which would have brought the two political units into one. City organizations would have taken over county organizations, county police and fire devartments would have been abolished and the city public school systems would have been extended to those of the county. POLICE GUARD FOREIGN QUARTER OF SHANGHAI Fresh Outbreak by Radical Sup- ” porters of Cantonese Gov- ernment Feared. By the Associated Press. SHANGHATI, October 27.—Police are patrolling the extensive foreign con- cession * district_here and soldiers of Sun Chuan- guard the Chinese city to prevent recurrence of outbreaks by radi favoring the cause of the Cantonese government. There is grave apprehension that riot- ing will be resumed. One person was shot to death and 16 were.wounded when a mob attack- ed the West Gate police station with bombs and firearms. Although the city apparently is tranquil, the Chinese authorities have arrested many suspected of radical tation. \HOUSANDS of theater-goers have rocked with laughter at “Charley” Grapewin’s de- lightful comedy acts. But few ever guessed that some of Mr. Grapewin's funniest scenes were played while he was suffering agonies with stomach trouble. ‘While playing in his well-known success, “The Awakening of Mr. Pipp,” Mr. Grapewin’s stomach trouble became so bad that it seemed as if he might have to quit the stage for a time. Fortunately, he was induced to try Adlerika. Results were so good that he has never been without a bottle since. “It surely is great,” he declares, “to be able to eat anything I want without fear of gas or other stom- ach trouble.” TOMACH GAS, indigestion, gas bloating, and other forms of stomach and bowel trouble are often due to just one cause—Intes- tinal Stasis. This increasingly common disease, which is usually caused by improper food, lack of exercise, and other faults of mod- ern life, is said to afflict three people out of every four. Intestinal Stasis simply means the too slow movement of waste food matter through the intestines. Instead of being promptly passed out of the bowels, this waste mat- ter remains many hours or even days longer than it should. It then ferments, forms gas and poi- sons, and causes gas bloating, sour stomach, indigestion and sleepless- ness. A person may have Intestinal *Stasis and yet not be noticeably < o Mr.fi kipiing. °| > Mr., Kipling doesn’t like us, it is very plain to see, and he takes a chance to strike us ‘with his keen- edged snickersnee. In manner most sarcastic he repudiates our gall, and_our conscience, so elastic, and our boasts, which are not small. Eng- land, scrapping ever harder, had the war already won, when we butted in with ardor, with our sandbag and our gun. Ever since we have been crowing, and our triumph is a_sham, for the blood that had been flowing wasn't that of Uncle Sam. Long, so long we have been tippling worm- wood drinks that jar the soul, but it's sad indeed when Kipling hands to us the bitter bowl. We have said when other writers called attention to our sins, “They are merely jealous blighters who have somehow barked their shins. Let them show their frowning faces and their tales of slander tell; we have friends in high- er places—Rudyard Kipling loves us well. We have boosted Rudyard Kipling evef since he first appeared, since he came, a gifted stripling, with no promise of a beard. Oh, we hailed him as a comer, and his en- emies we shooed; Keats, in greeting Chapman’s Homer, pictured well our attitude. And .our patience was dis- jointed when OIld England turned him down, when he hoped to be ap- pointed as the poet of the crown. While the cheaper writer screeches, taunting us without an end, Rudyard knows that we are peaches, and he'll always be our friend.” So it saddens us to find him shooting bullets at our hat, letting foolish passion blind him so he wings us with his gat. All in- gratitude is hateful, and our tender spirit quails'when a bard who should be grateful shoots us full of rusty nails. WALT MASON. (Copyright. 1926.) - PROPELLER KILLS FYLER.

Phillips since 1876. - Popular Actor Now Able to Eat What He Likes Adlerika, first used by Dr. Carl Weschcke in his private practice, is a bowel cleanser and intestinal prophylactic which acts upon BOTH upper and lower bowel. It is a compound of the best saline intestinal evacuant with vegetable buckthorn and cascara, together with glycerine and other detergent and gas-expelling elements, Gas Relieved System Cleansed NE of the first effects of Ad- lerika is to relieve gas on the stomach and gas bloating. Often ONE spoonful brings out a surpris- ing amount of old poisonous mat- ter which you never guessed was in your system and which may have been the hidden cause of indiges- ticn, nervousness, sleeplessness and other trouble. Even if your bowels move daily, Adlerika fre- quently brings out a surprising amount of additional matter which might poison your system. Adlerika is not a cure-all, In cases of gastric ulcers or deep- seated organic trouble, a good hysician should be consulted. Eut if your trouble is due to In- testinal Stasis (as most stomach and bowel disorders are), Adlerika gives surprisingly quick relief. Many physicians recognize it as the {me dependable remedy for Gas and Intestinal Stasis or when- ever REAL bowel cleansing is necessary. Don’t think if your bowels move daily that you cannot have Intes- tinal Stasis. Gas is one of the most common symptoms. You'll be surprised at the amount of ad- ditional matter which Adlerika constipated. The bowels may move daily, but the movements are on!( partial. Enough old matter is left to form gas, hinder digestion and poison the system. Action Needed on Both RDINARY laxatives or soda or magnesia cannot give more than temporary relief from Intes- tinal Stasis or Gas. It can be relieved nently only by con- tinued REAL intestinal cleansing. brings_out—and how much better yow'll feel after taking it, ' Sold by 39,000 Druggists Adlerika For Gas on the Stomach o and Chronie WAR VESSELS PUT ABEAD OF AICRAFT, o Naval - Auxiliary Ships Are More Important, Says Japanese Minister. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, Octdbe} 27.—Admiral Hyo Takarabe, minister of the navy, has come out strongly in support of auxil- iary vessels as superior to aircraft| for purposes of defense, say advices from Kobe, where he has been at- tending the launching of the new cruiser Kinugasa. While admitting the importance of air defense, Ad- miral Takarabe emphasized that an attack against Japan by air is only possible in the event that enemy air- craft carrlers were stationed within a hundred miles of the coast, conse- quently, it is more important to keep up the strength of the auxiliary naval vessels to prevent this than to build up & large air fleet, he thinks. Commenting on the financial aspect of the prpposed replacement program, the navy minister pointed out that it would cost, on an average, less than 60,000,000 yen annually over a five- year period, which is not considered éxcessive. He hinted that he might agree to a 10 to 15 per cent reduction beiow the total proposed in case the finance department is unable to grant the amount desired. ADMIT GRAIN GAMBLING= Firms Sentenced.
