--The ten months of drab existence of two circus lionesses appeared to be drawing to an end today when Denver Wright, St. Louis leather novelty dealer, released them from their cage on a Mississippi River Island, half a mile north of Commerce, to be hunted to death in the best South African manner. Not even the traditional Chinaman's chance was accorded the quarry. The island is half a mile long and only 300 feet wide at its broadest part. So it affords no chance for escape- Even the river offers no hope of flight.

Two motorboats have been hired to cruise about the island to cut off escape should the lionesses attempt to take to the water. From the bank hundreds of residents were watching the hunt. Many were armed with rifles and hopeful of getting a pot shot at the 150-pound cats. The small truck bearing the cage containing the beasts was driven from the garage at Benton, the county seat, at 8 p. and less than an hour later the cage had First of a Series of Political Rallies Held at Marion Saturday Night A CLEAN CAMPAIGN IS PARTY'S SLOGAN TEl NIETEOOUTTO COUNTERFEITS C.

TO 5PEIIK COLUMBIA DAIRY OPENS OFFICE HERE ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17--AP)--Arthur M.

Curtis, Republican state chairman, issued a statement today which he declared the Rcpub- jcnn gubernatorial nominee, Lieut. Gov. E. H. Winter, is "now certain of since "Boss Pendergast lias named his candidate for governor." The statement follows: "Our campaign has been directed against 'Boss' rule--to educate voters as to the facts concerning the most vicious, sinister machine gang in American politics.

We shall continue this campaign unabated and with renewed vigor. "Twice this year, first in the primary ana again today, it has been demonstrated that this Kansas City ang has a death grip on the Democratic party in this state. The Democratic leaders and office seekers seem to be hypnotized by its supposed power and dare not oppose it. Not so, however, with the thousands of Democrats and Independents who seek no office, who are not interested in patronage, but wrn want reduced cost in state government and who desire it to be clean and wholesome. "The Republican party recognized government as a responsibility to be discharged in the best interest of the tax payers and not as a mere means of machine control of the state for the private exploitation of the tax payers' money for its favorites The Democratic candidate for governor cannot sleep politically wita Tom Pendergast and his ilk without coming under obligations to them at the expense of the taxpayers' money.

"The fight is on--with supreme conlidence we carry it to the voters of Missouri. "Now that Boss Pendergast has named his candidate for governor, the campaign may proceed. The power of the 'big boss' was never more complete. Although the names of several prominent Democrats, with state-wide reputations were advanced for this nomination, all were swept aside by. 'Big Tom' and an unknown was by him trotted out and paced to victory.

I said unknown--I mean unknown to the thousands of Missouri Democrats and its citizens generally. I do not mean unknown to the boss. He does- not do things that way.

KANSAS CITY, Oct- patrons of the Fairfax Athletic Club, a cabaret, were robbed yesterday morning by four armed men, one of whom was carrying a sub-machine gun. The gunmen announced their entry by firing two shots into the ceiling, and then forced all the patrons and employes in the place to lie on their backs, while the robbers collected their loot, reported to have totaled about $2,000. Fifteen of the patrons were women. en.

"Wouldn't it be interesting to know the political trades of patronage that were made by Tom to induce the St. Louis members of the state committee and others to leave Dearmont, Major Stark, Doctor Patton, Judge Ragland and former Governor Gardner for this un- nown and inexperienced man in government. But they wil ever be made public. Missouri isn'1 eatly for machine government. II i a machine age, all right, but it ssn't progressed that far.

17--AP) ---President Hoover will deliver an address at 8:30 p. m. Saturday in the Olympic arena in Detroit. He plans to leave here Friday, to allow for a series of rear platform appearances along the route to the Michigan city. Alleging he was given Chevrolet car and after discovering it was stolen made an effort to restore it to the rightful owner which landed him in jail for 186 days, Jay Miles was given his freedom in federal court here this morning on a charge of transporting a stolen automobile from Claremore, to Jefferson City.

According to information presented to Judge Albert L. Reeves, the defendant was hitch-hiking when he was picked up near Pacific, by a stranger driving the Chevrolet. The driver of the machine told Miles it was a stolen car and then gave it to the latter to keep. Miles continued with the machine to Claremore and was there advised by friends to return to Jefferson City and try to find the owner through records at the secretary of state's office. While pursuing this course he was arrested and placed in jail where he remained until today.

He was sentenced to one day in the Cole jail, which meant that he was again a free man today. School beards are not entitled to tatc aid for pupils under six and lore than twenty years of age, the ittorney general's office ruled today. Denton Dunn, an assistant attor- ley general, who wrote the opin- on, said, however, than an excep- ion might be made for those who enter just before the age of six or graduate shortly after the age of twenty. This exception, he held, would be in compliance with the spirit of the law, "although not absolutely within its letter." The opinion, written at the re- juest of Charles A. Lee, state superintendent of schools, said the words 'between (he ages of six and twen- years" in section 1 of Article XI of the constitution "mean exactly what they say, and, that is, that our ccnslitution guarantees free public instruction to all persons in the state between such ages." "Neither the school board nor the state superintendent is obligated to pay the high school tuition of students beyond their twentieth birthday," Dunn said.

"Free education of persons between five and six and over twenty years of age shall be provided only with so much of the revenues as are not required for establishing and maintaining free public schools for the free instruction. of persons between the ages of six and twenty years." Guy Park, GO year old Platte City Circuit Judge today was unanimously nominated Cor governor by the Democratic Stale Committee. Judge Park succeeds the lalo Francis M. Wilson also oE Platte City, as head of the Democratic State ticket. He was placed In nomination by Richard Bayncs, of New Madrid, after the first district had yielded to the fourteenth.

The other districts then seconded Judge Park's nomination, after which it was moved his nomination be made unanimous. There were long shouts of "aye," and none of "nay." A committee composed of Baynes, James C. Alyward of Kansas City nnd Mrs. W. C.

Latham of the Eighth Congressional district were named to escort Judge.Park plat'foriif whero- he 'thanked 'the convention for the nomination. There was prolonged cheering as the jurist entered the Senate chamber where the meeting was held. Only a short time before the committee met, State Senator Russell L. Dearmont of Cape Girardeau the last formidable candidate against Judge Park, withdrew from the contest. In presenting Judge Park's name to the committee, Baynes said "his honesty and integrity have never been questioned.

He is a man who will lead the Democratic party to victory in November." Baynes said that southeast Missouri, which is the home of Senator 13earmont, "is ready to loyally support the nominee." He briefly outlined Judge Park's career as an attorney and jurist. Prolonged cheering followed mention of his name. than that Judge Park said in part: "While I appreciate more words can express the honor has just been conferred on me, there is no joy in my heart. The mantel that has fallen from the shoulders of our great leader now rests heavily on me, and stunned by the realization that the great responsibilities are before me I fully realize that it is on account of no merit of mine, but only because I have been his neighbor and because his friends and supporters knew I would carry out his principles. "Shortly before the death of Francis M.

Wilson he said he thought the end was near and that! he was afraid he would not live to relieve the distressed condition of the people of Missouri. I no pledge mystelf to do that. I did not solicit this honor and ask no member of his committee for support. I have made no pledges or promises to any man. My obligation is to the whole Democratic party of Missouri.

PLATTE CITY, Oct. 17---The unexpected death of his life long friend and the action of the State Committee today transformed a. gray-haired, calm mannered Circuit Judge into the candidate of Missouri Democracy for the office of governor.

Guy Breasfield Park, strong of body and wearing lightly his sixty years, expressed frank wonder at the sudden, dramatic transition. Rather taken back by the unexpected glare of the spotlight. "Boys, I'm not used to all this" he said, as he posed for newspaper photographers. "Now you'll have to show me how to stand." Judge Park declared he regards the candidacy thrust upon him by a quick turn of political as a sort of sacred trust inherited front Francis Wilson, whom he succeeds on the Democratic ticket. The jurist will not be a novice iri the gubernatorial campaign.

He has been a strong supporter of Mr. Wilson in the two campaigns he made for governor. The judge "took off his judicial dignity," as he expressed it, and made speeches for Wilson's candidacy when his friend was too ill to carry on his own cam- pain. So the candidacy for the governorship of Missouri finds Judge Park "carrying on for 'France' Wil- eu page i)..
