A Broad Campaign. . The Federal Government campaign, eonducted by the prohibition unit under an appropriation authorized by Congress, will be much broadeg in scope and will be launched on June 28 at the meeting of the National Education As- sociation at Atlanta, Ga. ‘This campaign will be under the di- Tection of Miss Anna B.

At first people paid little attention to the dream of Dibert, but when the same scenes occurred a sec- ond time in a dream, Dibert determined to investigate an brother-in-law, rrison started for Spruce Hollow. With little difficulty he located the scene of his dream and found a deer carcass as he had dreamed. on he found the head of a deer and still farther a shoe worn by one of the children. Crossing a stream, he came to the tree pictured in his dream and found the two children dead beneath the tree. Joseph had apparently died first and he lay with his head pillowed on a coat. The older brother's head was resiing on his brother's body. The children were buried in the old Union Cemetery near Pavia and a monument was erected at the scene of the tragedy. ‘The exercises Saturday will mark the seventy-third anniversary of the occur- rence. Mrs. Sarah M. Daugherty, Johnstown, Pa., is a sister of the children. She is now 77 years old, having been 4 years old at the time of her brothers’ disap- pearance. Samuel Cox, Dale, Pa., is a brother and there are two other sisters, Mrs. Amos Edwards and Mrs. Fred Brown of Alum Bank.

PARIS, June 24 (), —A widely ad- vertised manifestation of former service men against ratification of the Mellon- Berenger debt settlement yesterday melted down to a small gathering. Ap- proximately ~ 2,000 out of 1,000,000 members of the organization got in line and marched to the Arch de Triomphe without important incident. None of them insisted upon carrying & protest, as had been planned, to Premier Poin- care. ‘The veterans attended a meeting be- fore getting in line, at which this reso- jution was adopted: “Ten thousand former - combatants, assembled at Salle Wagram, protest against ratification of debt’ settlements which comprise no safeguard clause for France. They appeal to the country to prevent the servitude of France during many generations.” ‘The Police Department declared there were only 2,300 men in the line of march, and of those half were royalists of the I'Action Francaise group.

CHATHAM, Va, June 24.—Pittsyl- vania Republicans have met here and elected delegatesto the State Repub- lican conventfon to be held Thursday at Richmond. The resolutions adopted were stmilar in purport to those adopt- ed by other county mass meetings. They strike principally at the short ballot theory and urge a restoration oi.;‘mpuhr election of all high State offi- cials. While there is no written commit- ment, it has been learned that the delegatés are prepared to form a coali- tion with the Virginia Cannonite Demo- crats in the belief that it offers one chance of establishing a semi-Repub- lican administration through the elec- tion next Fall. The expectation is that Robert Agéll of Roanoke will be named leutenant governor on a coalition ticket with Wil- liam Moseley Brown nominated by the Cannonites at Roanoke last week as his running, mate. . The noticeable feature of the Re- publican meeting here as in other sur- rounding counties was the complete unanimity of the Republicans on all questions. {D. C.

Mr. Maddox pointed out that auto- mobiles using the road had to run hub- deep for a time through a puddle near the Glenburnie line and said this situa- tion prevailed after every heavy rain. “This flooded condition follows tI heavy rains,” Mr. Maddox said. “We have asked the State Roads Commission to install the proper drainage, but thev pay no attention to the request. They say they will investigate, but nothing happens. “The flooded road is one of the main arteries to Southern Maryland and cer- tainly, it seems to me, the commission shouid act at once to end this situation. “I have been before the commission made a proposition to relieve the situation in which the community would that | join hands with the commission in the | expense, but they have failed to aci port by patriotic, law-abiding citizens | on"¢ of the tion taken by Bishop Denny | that a division of the church will re- sult from the passage of resolutions by church bodies declaring that as against the lawless element of the Nation and | its supporters and apologists the church will give its hearty. undivided support to the President of the United States in his determination to secure law ob- servance and law enforcement.

ASK CHEMISTS TO SOLVE TWO DEATH MYSTERIES Texas Authorities Hold Two Hus- bands Who Are Suspected of Poisoning Their Mates. By the Associated Press. | TEXARKSNA, Tex., June 24 —Bowie | County officials today relied upon chem- | ical analysis to determine whether the violent deaths of two young wives in different parts of the county last- week were caused by poison, and were hold- ing in jail their former husbands, Ches- ter Peavy, 25, and Ocle Nix, 22. District Attorney R. G. Waters an- nounced that. Nix had confessed he laced poison in a capsule for his wife last Tuesday. She died shortly after | at_her home, in New Boston. | ‘The arrest of Peavy followed the death of his wife in convulsions last Thursday. Her viscera, along with that of Mrs. Nix, was sent to the State chem- ist in Austin for analysis. Officers who arrested Peavy said Ed Hutchison, Mrs. Peavy's father, de- scribed a hasty burial and urged an ex- humation. No charges have been placed against either youth, pending the report of the chemist. Mrs. Nix was 17 years old and the mother of a 5-month-old child, and Mrs. Peavy was 24 and the mother of four children. Two Black Bears Killed. FRANKLIN, W.
