Louis From 10 a.m. To 4 p.m. A. special rate for shopper patrons Of the street car system in Alton is being sought by Mayor Butler for the benefit of shoppers who may desire to use the cars instead 'of using their automobiles. Parking spaces in times when there is a rush of business in the stores have been so crowded there been much inconvenience entailed on those who have been using their own automobiles.

With the approval of business inert 'Mayor Butler today wrote a letter to President A. P. Titus 'of the Illinois Terminal, which owns arid operates the street car system, asking that a rate be established in Alton for shoppers which would make it attractive for them to use the street cars instead of being obliged to use other means of transportation. The plan has the backing of directors of the Alton Retail Merchants Association. The suggestion which Mayor Butler has made copies- a rate in effect In St.

Louis which Is being used with great satisfaction. The Illinois Terminal been asked by the mayor to make a lower rate effective between the hours of 10 a. m. and 4 p. in which the patron of the car line would pay 10 cents for a round trip, receiving on payment of the dime a transfer that would be good for returning home at any time after 10 a.

m. and up to 4 p. m. Saving Proposal. Instead of paying an 8-cent token for a ride, according to the mayor's proposal to President Titus, the passenger would pay 10 cents cash and as stated immediately receive the transfer good for the return trip.

MaVor Butler was anticipating a favorable reply from Mr. Titus, and tf the request is granted, it will amount in -effect to a cut in car fare to 10 cents for a round trip Instead of 16 cents where tokens are used. Those who do not use tokens, but pay their fares in cash would receive a round trip for what they now pay qr tv Singte piokel car fare ub if the request of Mayor, Witier 46 granted it will amount to a (nickel -fare between the hours of 10 a. m. and 4 p.

The, mayor Is asking President Titus to grant the request as an experiment, to determine whether or not it meets with enough popular favor, as shown by increased business, to Justify the making of this special shoppers' rate of car fare a permanent thing. To Help Parking Problem. the experiment works out satisfactorily and shows Increased patronage In sufficient volume due to the suggested cut rate, it might eventually lead to a general cut in oar fare, at all hours of the day. Mayor Butler called attention today to the fact that in St.

Louis the shoppers' car fare has resulted in a good Increase in street car riding on the part of people who own automobiles, and beside gives a lower rate to those who have no automobiles of their own. He believes that the rate he is asking would appeal to Alton people and develop more general resumption of use of street cars on the part of people who have been contending with exasperating conditions with regard to parking, caused by the increased use of automobiles, also by the Influx of many buyers from out of the city who make the trip to Alton in their cars to do shopping. Mayor Butler was expecting to receive an answer from President Titus within a few days and was confidence that it would be favorable because of the demonstrated success of the plan as used in St. Louis.

Rheumatic Pains Follow Infection in Young Giant's Foot Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, yesterday, was called upon to take care of an emergency such as that hospital never before had to prepare for, accustomed as all hospitals are to having emergency conditions confront them. The emergency developed out of the fact that an Alton youth of 17 had to be hospitalized and he was 10 unusual youth.

The lad was Robert Wadlow, whose size and weight probably excel that of any other youth in the country of his age. Failure of Robert Wadlow to show the desired progress toward recovery from an Illness which recently afflicted him, caused the decision to be reached to move him to Barnes Hospital. He had been the victim of a severe attack of the grip which had lowered his resistance power, and along with that came a complication. Blister On Foot During a recent trip he had made he had not noticed in time that' a rubber cushion in the heel of his shoe had become misplaced and, when the fact was discovered, it was found that the cushion had rubbed a blister on the foot. This blister seems to have been the starting point of a bad infection, and the infection has resulted in severe rheumatic pains which had not shown a satisfactory tendency toward subsiding.

So he was taken from the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wadlow, of 3204 Brown street, to be hospitalized at Barnes. Weighs 375 Pounds Moving Robert Wadlow, when he is unable to help himself, is naturally a difficult task, considering his weight and height. With a height of 3 feet 1 1-2 inches and weighing 375 pounds, it called for eight men to carry him on a stretcher and place him in the ambulance, that was sent to transport him to St.

Louis. Being unable to help himself, he had to be carried downstairs from his room at the family home, which added to the difficulty. Members of the family were attending Robert in the hospital in St. Louis today, and no word as to his condition today could be had.

Of th? memberships, 142 were from Alton, and the post membership here to 314 as compared to 319 on April 1 last year. Homer Bockstruck, commander of Alton post, presented the cards in course of a welcome address, and assured Commander Armstrong that Alton post would continue the member drive and exceed its April 1 goal of a year ago within the week.

Judge William P. Boynton, past grand chef de gare, Forty Eight, served as toastmaster. Mayor Butler expressed a welcome on behalf of the city, and Mlas Fannie Ulrich, unit president, on behalf of the Auxiliary. Among those presented for greetings during the evening were Mrs. Josephine Sollday of Wood River, who spoke for the state department of the Legion Auxiliary, and Mrs.

Byrns Hopes for Final Action IMs WeekonWorksBill Speaker Makes Statement After Conference at White House WASHINGTON, March 25, The $4,880,000,000 work-relief with its 31 Senate amendments today struck a House snag that delayed any action until tomorrow despite administration desirse to get the measure to President Roosevelt by Saturday. A hurried visit to the White House by Speaker Byrns and Chairman Buchanan of the appropriations committee aroused hopes winding up congressional action this week-end. It made clear also that the administration was opposed to some of the Senate's changes, for Byrns afterward said the bill now contained "absolutely unworkable" amendments. Rushing back to the capitol, Buchanan to get the consent to reject the 31 amendments and send the bill to an immediate conference With the'Senate for adjusting But Representative Johnson Democrat, Texas, objected and Buchanan said further House action before tomorrow was impossible. While Byrns and Buchanan were at the White House, more than 30 House silver supporters agreed to demand acceptance of the senate amendments so the bill could go directly to Mr.

Roosevelt as now written. Their objective was adoption of the sliver inflation amendment of Senator Thomas, Democrat, Okla. WASHINGTON, March 25, 5 Hope for final congressional action on the $4,880,000,000 work-relief bill by the week-end was expressed today by Speaker Byrns after a talk with President Roosevelt. The speaker and Chairman Buchanan of the appropriations committee, who called at the White House, said it was the intention to send the bill passed on Saturday by the Senate to a conference with the Senate for adjustment of differences. But even while they talked with the chief executive, more than 30 members of a House silver bloc agreed to attempt to force House acceptance of the Senate amendments, especially that of Senator Thomas Oklahoma, for immediate silver currency'inflation.

This action opened the possibility of a stiff struggle on the House floor over whether the bill should be sent to the White House as written by the Senate, or sent to conference for modification. New Skirmish on Ethiopia-Eritrean Frontier Reported Rome Communique Says Ethopians Crossed Border ROME, March 25 official government communique today announced a new combat between Italians and Ethiopians during the night of March 23 with the death of one Ethiopian. The skirmish was fought on the frontier of the Italian colony of Eritrea. It was the first Instance on the Erltrean frontier since the tension between Italy and Ethiopia began, the other incidents having occurred on the frontier of Italian Somali- land. The communique said that while a frontier squadron of Erltrcarut under the command of an Italian brigadier were patrolling the border, it encountered a body of armed Ethiopians 300 Inside the border near Omager.

The Ethiopians were said to have answered the brigadier's notice to leave with riflofire.

D. Monroe as superintendent of the Madison County Tuberculosis Sanitarium has been submitted by Dr. Monroe to C. Dorris, president of the board of trustees. Dr.

Monroe asks that the resignation be made effective by April 10, at which time, he says, he hopes his successor will be named and ready to take charge. To most people the resignation comes as a great surprise. Dr. Monroe has made a wide reputation for the Madison county sanitarium because of the excellence of the curative work done there for tubercular victims. He has a high standing among the men in his particular specialty of treating tuberculosis, and it is believed that it will be difficult to find a successor to him who will include the special abilities Dr, Monroe had.

He has been known for his deep interest in his work, his kindly demeanor both to the patients and the public; and It has been well known that he was achieving cures for many patients entrusted to his care. i Function With Board. The resignation of Dr. Monroe is the culmination of friction which came' with comparatively recent changes in the personnel of the board of trustees. There had been considerable criticism of some changes in the employes of the institution, and Dr.

Monroe declared the removals were justified by insubordination on the part of the persons who were let out. later wholesale reductions were ordered in the staff. To those who have been watching the affairs of the institution it was apparent that, there, was not the sympathy with Dr, Monroe and his policies on the part of the newer members there had been on the part of the old board which had stood with minor changes for many years.

Over Spring Rain The Ground Needs Declare We Have Not Yet Had Enough After Long Drawn Out Drouth "None too much so far" was the comment made at noon today by farmers in the surrounding territory right after the heaviest rain of the day had fallen.

Water was running "curb deep" on Upper Alton streets at the time. "What do you say now about the water supply" a farmer ten miles but from Alton was asked over the telephone. The answer was that the creeks were filling up but it had been so long since water running in a creek had been seen, that it looked good. "We would like to sow oats but there is a month yet for this work so let's have the rain while we can get it" the farmer continued. Farmers In almost all quarters today were jubilant because of the big rain.

Ten days ago they feared a long drawn wet spell. To their surprise the weather took a dry turn Instead and the dust storms from the West arrived in the territory. Drying up of the ground here took place at a surprising rate of speed. Country roads last night where there had been much automobile traffic during the day were so dusty that cars passing each other were enveloped in dust. A spring season "made to order" is the way the farmers are describing the weather of the last two weeks, While the heavy rains of today were just what was wanted It is safe to venture the assertion that it would not take many like today to bring a general request for turning off the water.

The city's counsel argued that tiie objectors, on Feb.

He had beep pointed out to Traffic Patrolman Voumard who put the youngster in a cheerful frame of mind with an ice cream cone before Patrolman Ebbler moved him to the police station a police car.

His own surname, however, was something he was unable to give, Only a brief time elapsed, however, before the boy was claimed by his father, Joseph Maher of Godfrey, the police blotter shows. Europe's Tangled Affairs at a Glance Reichsfuehrer Hitler of Germany, behind closed doors with envoys from Great Britain, was reported to have Insisted that Germany needs adequate army, naval, and air forces to defend Western European civilization from invasion by Russian Bolshevism.

Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain told the House of Commons that, While he believed Germany intended not to observe certain military clauses of the Versailles treaty, only those clauses were affected and that the treaty as a whole could not be considered as denounced. In Geneva the League of Nations called a special council session for April 15 to discuss France's appeal against Germany. Federal illation of rade Unions Industrial Rights Leagui Counsel at Senate Hearing WASHINGTON, March 25, Federal regulation of trade unions was urged today by Walter Gor don Merritt, counsel for the Leagu for Industrial Rights. If the Wagner labor dispute btl were passed, he told the Scnat labor committee, unions would be so clothed with the public interes that they should be regulated tx make them "conform to certain standards of decency and democ racy in their affairs." The bill as it stood, he said made "no attempts to correct their well-known abuses." Chairman Walsh, Democrat suggested it might be dif ficult to regulate unions. "No," Merritt replied.

wouli be very simple. An amendment this bill would do It." Walsh asked Merritt to draf the amendment. The recent waterfront trouble in New York, Merritt said, was a "sorry spectacle" that the Wagne bill might promote elsewhere. The truckmen, he said, working for common carriers, might decidr not to move merchandise that i non-union hand had touched any where. The truckmen's union was en joined from combining with the longshoremen in an agreement no to handle goods from non-union trucks, The union has appealed.

The Wagner bill would outlaw the company dominated union, ere ute a new labor relations boarc with added powers, and give the labor organization chosen by a majority of the employes In a plant the right to speak for all the employes.

(Copyright, 1985, By AMoelateA Preii) BERLIN, March 25. Reich- sfuehrer Hitler, in intimate con- ultation with Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary, was re- iably reported today to have In- Isted that Germany needs an adequate army and a navy capable of controlling the Baltic, with a good-sized air fleet as well, la or- ler to defend western European civilization from invasion by Rusian Bolshevism.

Hitler was said to have claimed hat Nazi, Germany has saved Europe from Bolshevism. He went into conference this morning with Sir John and at 6 p. six and one-half hours af- the meeting began, the discussions were still continuing behind tightly closed doors. Diplomatic circles said "likely to determine whether Europe turns back toward peace or continues on toward war." Air of Excitement Sir John entered the chancellory accompanied by Capt. Anthony Eden, British Lord privy Sir Eric Phipps, British ambassador, and a battery of secretaries.

Baron Konstantin von Neurath, Reich foreign minister, introduced the British f(feign secretary. Hitter previously had met Captain Eden, as the youthful British diplomat had negotiated an agreement with the Reichsfuehrer more than a year ago limiting Germany's army to 300,000 men; The agreement subsequently was turned down by Louis Barthou, French foreign minister who later was assassinated with King Alexander ol Yugoslavia at Marseilles. Foreign diplomats eagerly watched the start of the negotiations, speculating on the Reichsfuehrer'i ability to dicker with Sir John, an old hand as diplomatic maneuver. An air of tense excitement prevailed in the WitoeOmfiJteasse ernment "offices as the conferees assembled. Several members of.the cabinet dodged in and out of the chancellory before the British visitors arrived.

Many Nazi provincial leaders were in Berlin apparently to keep in close touch with developments. Lines of regular and secret police kept traffic moving in the street outside the chancellory. Police also guarded the British embassy and the Adlon Hotel where the British delegation is stopping. Demands-for Fleet As the parley got under way, it was reliably reported Germany would bring to the discussions a demand that she be accorded the' right to possess a navy 30 percent the size of Great Britain's. While a fleet of this size was acknowledged to be comparatively small, It was said it would be of sufficient strength to give the Reich security in the Baltic Sea, allaying whatever apprehensions might be entertained by Germany for the Soviet sea power.

Germany does not desire a larger fleet, it was explained, until she is assured of restoration of her colonial empire. Along with her naval demands, the Reich was expected to 'seek from the powers of Europe sanction for her conscription program and her new military air fleet. In return for these concessions, it was indicated Hitler might be willing to agree to Germany's return to the League of Nations and participation In 20-year non-aggression pacts. Another point which unquestionably will arise in the discussions, the Danubian and Eastern pacts, Is not considered likely to evoke any great enthusiasm on the Relchsfuehrer's part. Hitler long has been opposed to such multi-lateral agreements, preferring in their stead separately negotiated bi-lateral agreements.

It was eight hours after their meeting began before the session, which had included a two-hour lunch, ended. The statesmen will confer again tomorrow. Hitler talked today, It was said, as if Germany's regenerated army was an accomplished fact not to be changed by the present negotiations. The proposed pact for eastern European security nnd the question of the German army's size were understood to have been discussed at length. Police Ordered to Guard Quintuplets TORONTO, March 25, Ontarion provincial government was understood today to have ordered a police guard stationed at 'the Dafoe hospital near Callander day and night to foil an alleged plot to kidnap the Dlonne quintuplets.

A rumor circulated through provincial government quarters that a plot had been uncovered to use an automobile and an airplane in order to get the five babies across the frontier low the United States. The babies, by law, now "special wards of His Majesty the King," and their control i In the hands of the imperial government.
