LINDY PRESENTED TOWN CALMS DOWN GROSS BY FRANGE Ambassador Claudel, at Dis- tinguished Gathering, Re- calls Flight of 1927. Barcheaded and wearing a business suit, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh attend- ed a gathering of high-ranking officials and diplomats at the French embassy yesterday to receive the Cross of Com- mander of the Legion of Honor from Ambassador Claudel of France. The presentation was made on behalf of France in recognition of Lindbergh's flight from New York to Paris in May, 927, In making the presentation, Ambas- sador Claudel called attention to the careful preparation which had made both his flight and that of Coste and Bellonte successful. “His visit to France,” he sald, “was $o us a challenge, but it was also a les- son. His success was not the triumph of rashness and blind darine. but the well deserved prize of infinite pains. Three years had passed since that won- derful day in May, and in September. 1930, the visit of the Spirit of St. Louls was paid back to Amerfca by our two greas space conquerors, Coste and Bel- lonte.” Thanks Briefly Expressed.

OMAHA, Nebr, January 19.—The inhabitants of the Douglas County | poor farm here are business men. They deal in golf balls—balls driven out of bounds of the field club course and into the long grass of the poor farm or into the street bordering the course and the farm. And because they are business men some 25 men living at the home have refused to move from the old home to the new, palatial home farther out in the country. Through their activities in rounding up stray golf balls, the men earn enough money for tobacco and an occasional small-stake card game, they say. E. J. Dillehay, 80, the “broker” of the | home, says this, when asked if he will move: “What's the use of living in marble halls if they take away my business? I'm a golf ball broker. I make $10 & week or more. | me_away from my business.” Dillehay buys the balls from the other men and speculates on the street curb with bargain hunters, PLAN ATTEMPT TO HALT EXECUTION OF TWO MEN SRR | Attorneys for Leo V.

FOR FINANCIAL ILLS Central— 7th and The experiences of individuals in matters of finance are not always what they would like them to be. are times when the bright outlook on the future is obscured by the financial difficulties of the present, when un- expectcd cxpenditures must be met, and when money a]onc i! necdcd. These are the times when a bank account proves a good ally and when this cash reserve well repays every effort made in placing it there.

MARYVILLE, .Mo, January 19.— Wesapons clutched in frenzy whenr Maryville citizens acted on a rumor that & group of colored men intended a| reprisal for the lynching of Raymond Gunn, colored, a week ago, were racked today as the city returned to its normal pursuits, Anxiety permeated the usual Satur- day night crowd when reports spread that several carloads of Kansas City and St. Joseph avengers were en route here. Gunn, when lynched, was await- ing trial on a charge of slaying Miss Velma Colter, 19, a rural school teacher. ‘The rumors started when Mrs. L. L. Edwards said she had received a tele- phone call from a Miss Alice Ward of | 8t. Joseph. Battery C, 128th Field Artillery, Mis- souri National Guard, was mobilized at the request of Mayor W. O. Garrett. Farmers were summoned to town. Some bore corn knives among their weapons, others invaded hardware stores for fire- arms and ammunition. Armed parties patrolled the streets, family men locked the doors of their homes and took up thefr vigil. In the early morning hours it became apparent the rumored raid was not materializing. At 2 a.m. patrols were disbanded. Three hours later the Na- tional Guard Battery was dismissed and citizens retired. Miss Ward, identified as a saleswoman traveling out of St. Joseph, said she had telephoned Mrs. Edwards to inform her of the rumor. She did not explain under what circumstances the report reached her, L . Rail Wage Hearings Open.
