85. Bluefield, W. Va Morning, April 11, Pages ASSOCIATED PRES9 LEASED WIRB Price: Five 10LL11S NEEDED TO PUT JUNE Today Is Last Chance to Contribute to Fund for War Widows and Orphans. INTEREST STIMULATED BY DISPLAY OF FLAGS Bluefield Has Never. Failed to Go Over Top Yet, Must Not Fail and Will Not Fail, But Only One Day Left in Which to Reach Goal.

Something less than a thousand dollars arc needed to nil BluelmlilB qaota in the five million dollar legion endowment fund for the cave of widows and orphans of men. Dluefleld's quota is $3,000. Some- tMBB more than $2,000 has been Blfcserlbed. Bluefleld has never failed! Blucn-eld must not fail. Blno- tlcid will not fail.

The campaign closes today. l-or one week members of the Blueflold Post of the American Legion have been canvassing for funds. Subscriptions have been slow in in, but on yesterday interest in the cam- aig was somewhat stimulated by the display of flags throughout the business districts, and donations picked up considerably. houses of the city are again urged to display the flags today. Merchants 'should remember these flags should not be left out during thaTrain and should be taken in doors after sundown.

The one big point the American Legion wishes to again is tho legion endowment fund is a trust fund, the interest of which will be used annually for the betterment and education of disabled veterans ot UK; World War and for their widows and orphans. There is a real need for this tuirl. This need is not adequately met by government legislation and administration. President Calvin Coohdge and Director General Hinesj of the veterans' bureau, are. hearty endorsers of the idea, and it appears that when men of this type place their stamp of approval on a matter it should be evidence it is worthy should ham Bupporj of every nation.

Only about 400 people in Bluefield have contributed. Taking into consideration the many thousands ot people ot this community, it would appear this number is entirely top small, it Bluefleld expects to live up to her reputation as being one of most public-spirited communities of the state. People of Bluefield, and especially those who did not shoulder arms in the great cause eight years ago, should deem it a great privilege to contribute to this cause. There can be no cause for tins drive to drag any longer. There can be no excuse for those who are able to give and not contribute.

Had It ntTf been for the sacrifices that hav-3 necessitated this drive, pause to con- Blder what might have been the conditions around Bluefleld. In times ot war everyone was profuse with projjiises, and you will remember when Bluefleld would-'1mve oversub- scrjfted her quota in this drive in less than twenty-four hours. Ha-i Bluefleld, with her boasted record for a top-notch city, lost her patriotism? There Is a call for patriotic citizenship in times of peace as well as in times of war. It is easy 10 wave a flag when the boys pass by in line, but so many forget the childvon rt those left behind. Can Bluefielders fail to con tribute to this endowment fund when we know Herbert Hoover raised thirly- million dollars for the war sufferers iu Europe.

Eleven millions went to the Near East relief and seven millions for China's food sufferers. Why then can't wo raise (Iva millions for our own orphans? There may be other solicitations, Out there can be none worthier of your support than the Legion Eudovr- nent Fund. Mail your check to box 383, or givo to any legion worker. Today is the last day. Bluefleld must not BANKERS WILL DEFY THE WALL STREET TRADITIONS New York, April 'by the enormou's over-subscription of Hie initial $85,000,000 stock offering for the new Dodge Brothers Automobile Company, bankers tomorrow will defy Wall Str'eet traditions an.d launch the final step in the $160,000,000 financing flotation of a $75,000,000 'bond issue.

To undertake an operation of such magnitude on a Saturday, sandwiched in between two holidays, is a feat never 'before attempted in Wall Street. Fortified by a large volume of advance applications, however, Dillon, Head tho bankers, who are reselling Dodge Brothers to the public, are said to be assured that the over- subscription of the bond issue will be as prompt as that of yesterday's slock offering. FAVORABLE EARNINGS STATEMENT EXPECTED New York, April 10. the large reduction in unfilled ale.il tonnage reported by the United States Steel Corporation today, Wall street is satisfied that the company will be uble to issue a favorable earnings statement for the Irst quarter of the year. Because of the lower prices which have been in effect for the last six mouths the profits are not expected to be abnormally large, but probably will coyr-r regular extra dividends by a comfortable margiu.

HEilRIOTT CUBIT TO CURRY ON UNTIL Resignations Followed Second Defeat in Senate Within Three Days. NEW PREMIER WILL NOT BE KNOWN BEFORE SUNDAY The French Government Overthrown Friday Is Regarded by Mr. Coolidge as Having "Accomplished a Distinct Service for Country It Served. Paris, April 10. cabinet of Edouord Herriot resigned tonight.

D.efealed twice within three days in the'senate, M. Herriot and his ministers quickly decideTl there was no alternative but to resign. When a vote of lack of eonfidence 156 to 134 was announced the cabinet repaired immediately to the foreign office, where the formal letter of the ministry's resignation was drafted. From the foreign office the defeated ministers, headed by M. Herriot, went to the Eylsee palace, where they arrived at 10:10 p.

in. (4:10 p. in. eastern standard time), and were immediately admitted to the office of President pouinergue. M.

Herriott placed the resignation in the hands of the chief executive who accepted it and the retirement of the cabinet thereupon became official. As is usual, however, M. Domergue requested the ministers to continue to transact the business of their re- spectiye departments until their successors were appointed. After the custo.mary exchange of compliments with tho president, the ministers, with the exception of M. Herriot, departed.

It was said tonight that M. Dou- mergue would be unable to decide before Sunday on the man who will be offered the premiership since besides consulting with the party group leaders of. both houses of parliament, be intends to discuss the situation with various eminent politicians. Edonard Herriot assumed the premiership of France on May 14, 1921, when the victory of the Left bloc in the election smothered Raymond Poincare's party of the Right. Herriot's ascension to the post of premier was the culmination of his life ambition.

During his tenure of office M. Herriot had been confronted with a more or less muddled state of foreign affairs, bequeathed him by the Poln- care government. One of his greatest achievements was in aiding in the settlement of the German reparations question. By his conciliatory attitude, he was lni.ru- mental in putting into effect the Dawos plan. At the London conference he effected an agreement for tho evacuation of the" Ruhr.

It was through his efforts that thousands of Germans imprisoned by the French iu the Ruhr for passive resistance were released, and lie also permitted the return to tho Ruhr and the Rhineland of Germans who had been exiled by the allied military authorities. M. Heri'ipt was firm in his determination that Germany should carry out the Versailles treaty. Particularly he insisted on Germany's disarming. The matter is still pending.

The Lausanne treaty establishing peace between Turkey the allies waa ratified by the French parliament at the behest of M. Herriot. Tie also brought about French recognition of soviet Russia last October. Washington, April Herriot (Turn to Page Eleven.)

Today was a day of ill luck for William Barling 'Shepherd, in Jail here for the murder of his youthful ward, William Nelson McClintock, millionaire orphan. The state supreme court denied a motion for a writ of habeas corpus to release Shepherd on bond, blocking tlie fourth attempt of his attorneys to effect his release pending trial.

A few hours before tho supreme court acted, Dr. William D. McN'ally, coroner's chemist, had announced thai sufficient mercury had been, found In the vital organs of Mrs. Emma Nelson uUcCllntock-, mother of the young millionaire, to have caused her death.

Oscar Olson, the Mc- wi three 'years ago. Mrs. iMcCliutock died sixteen years ago, while her son died last December. New evidence which the authorities said tended to establish a connection between Shepherd and tho death of Mrs. McClintock, was received during the day, when Dr.

Geo. Fosberg, the first person to disclose Shepherd had made a study of deadly drugs and poisons, appeared at the office of Judge Harry Olson, who instigated tho investigation which resulted in Shepherd's indictment, and amended his former statements. Shepherd. he said, had begun bis interview with Dr. Fosberg by asking particularly about the action of -bichlor- ide of mercury and the length of time after death It might still be detected.

Dr. Fosberg said be replied it could be detected almost any time after death, and Shepherd then- started to inquire about other poisons. REflLlOKlTION IS THE THING W. L. Fisher, of Counsel for Government, Answers Contention of Packers in Armour- Morris Merger Controversy.

Foundling Twelve Years Ago, She is Now Heiress to Leeds Millions MIneola, N. April 10, Joy Louise Leeds, twelve years ago a foundling, today learned that she is one of the country's wealthiest Children. Warner M. Leeds, who made a fortune in tin plate production and who, childless, had adopted Joy Louise twelve yeSrs ago when she was a year old, left her the bulk of his estate estimated at more vtian $4,000,000. Two years ago the child was left the $4,000,000 estate of her foster mother, Mrs.

Louise HarUchorne Leeds, who was billed in a plunge from a window of her New York hotfic. Tho will of t'he loater father, who died two weeks ago, was illod hero today. Available data of the estates of rich children in the United States s'how the Leeds heiress to be rfar richer than nny of her contemporaries. Gloria Caruso received half of her father's $3,000,000 estate and half of his poslluinius phonograph royul- estimated, at $225,000 i Kuril in' luu seven Mi'unii cuitdren of the, late Senator William A. Clark received $1,000,000 at -birth.

The sixth John Jacob Astor, whoso father d'ecl in the Titanic disaster inherited something like $3.000,000, John, Knilly and Hdward, children of K. il. McLean, Washington publisher, received trust funds amounting-to more 'thnii $1,000,000 each. Washington, April the contention of the packers in the Armour-Morris merger controversy a monopoly was impossible in tho packing industry, W. L.

Fisher, chief counsel the government, argued today the thing is the preservation of competition in reality." Tho packers' attorneys, told Secretary Jardlne, who is conducting the blaring preparatory to ruling on t'he question whether the merger violates the packers and wtockyards act, have admitted that they meant tn 100 per cent monopoly, which they described as the only kind that could bo made effective. Ho declared the courts have held that monopoly does not necessarily involve 100 per cent control of an Industry. The tendency of modern Industrial- Ism, he declared, is toward centralized control and he predicted thoJ; unless Oils is curbe.il tho government will have to step in-and fix prices. Secretary Jardino allotted the entire fimo of today's hearing to the government's attorney. He plans to close tho hearing tomorrow and take tho caso under advisement.

He can either exonerate the packers or issue a rule against tho merger, which would send tho question to the supreme co'urt for tlnal settlement.

AGAIN NAILS REPORT THAT SECRETARY WAR RESIGNED Story of Economy in Expenditures on Easter Clothes Without Basis as It Was Not Necessary for Him to Buy Anything at All. Washington, April of the purported news stories being sent out of Washington by t-nterprisins' correspondents during the dull days of the congressional recess are not setting well with tho White House. At, one time or another, President Coolidge has figured, every member of his cabinet has been duly written up as having resigned or being on the verge of presenting his resignation, only a few of which have panned out.

As late as today it was necessary for the White House to deny persistently published stories that Secretary Weeks' resignation was in the hands of Mr. Coolidge. Although the White House has retrained from comment, another story which has brought a flood of Inquiries which was found to he unfounded, was to effect thai the president had confined his expenditures for Easter to $65 of clothes. As a matter oC fact Mr. Coolldge is stocked with clothing and it was unnaq.esisary-.

for to buy anything. The president feels, all In all, that It make a real good news story if some (The would write about the purported news sTcirles sent out by various individuals which have never materialized. He feels when news conditions are dull stories of Washington affairs should not be forced to fill space. MADDEFfiEBATE PLAN WOULDN'T BE FEASIBLE Washington, April plan sponsored by Chairman Madden, of the house appropriations committee, to make rebates to taxpayers when the government winds up a fiscal period with a surplus, would, In the opinion of President. Coolidge, prove too difficult of administration to be feasible.

The president has not discussed the plan with Chairman Madden, who said today he would press for action by the next congress on his bill to authorize such refunds, and ho does not desire to be placed in the position of condemning a proposal of which he has only a general knowledge. He regards Mr. Madden as an expert on government finance and feels the appropriations chairman undoubtedly has soumi and practical reasons for sponsoring the rebate plan. Mr. Coolldge, however, believes surplus funds should be applied toward reducing tlie govonimeut debt, if the" surplus is incidental, or bo made the basis for downward revision of the tax rates If the surpluses are large and continuing.
