21. (AP) Raymond Poincare, former French president and premier, underwent an operation lor a pelvis disorder today, the second he has had in recent months for his trouble. Mr. Poincares physician issued the following bulletin: "The second operation on President Poincare was performed this morning under good conditions by Dr. Marion, with the assistance of Drs.

Gossct, Boivin, and Perard. At the same time Georges Clem-enceau. former premier and minister of war, was under the treatment of his pliysicians, who found him suffering from a slight cold, such as most Paris has or has had the last few days. Secretary of War Good pcsed for pictures before boarding the train. The train of olden days proved a curiosity for the presidentail party.

There were three coaches, each painted in gay colors and decorated outside with scenes of colonial days in this country. The coaches were hauled by a wood burning locomotive and each car had a wood s.ove going at full blast. There were old style oil burning lamps to illuminate the cars but no illumination was needed. Upholstered seats with bronze side arms proved comfortable. The President and Mrs.

Hoover and their hosts entered the rear coach and then moved through th3 train to the one immediately behind the engine and its tender which was piled high with cord wood. The train moved along at a fair pace over the two-mile stretch of track to the entrance of the Early American Village. During the trip on the od train Mr. Edison turned time back more than half a century to re-enact his boyhood role of news butcher. He had a basket of fruit which he said for real money, insisting on collecting from his customers.

SEE NO HOPE FOR PEACE IN MILK STRIKE Kansas City Agitation Enters Third Week Kansas City, Oct. 21. (AP) Kansas City3 milk strike entered its third week today with no prospect of a settlement between striking dairymen end distributors. Failure of the producers to accept a calling for an increase ficials of the foreign service have of one cent a gallon during the severely depleted the upper ranks of American diplomacy.

At London Meet BORAH DECLINES Selection of Other Commission Members Now Soon Washington, Oct.

21. (AP) Secretary Stimson announced today on behalf of President Hoover, that Senators Reed, of Pennsylvania, and Robinson, of Arkansas, have accepted posts as members of the American Delegation of the London arms parley in January. The secretary said Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee, had been asked by President Hoover to serve on the American commission but had found it impassible to accept. It is possible, the secretary added, that the selection of the o.her members of the American delegation which Is expected to comprise five or six delegates, will be deferred until more is known of the general situation to be expected at the discussions. Commenting on the forthcoming arrival here of the Japanese delegation to the London conference, Stimson said he had informed the Tokyo government he would be glad to confer with its delegation in Washington before they proceed to London.

The secretary explained the reason for their trip to London by wav of the American continent was due to delays on the Trans-Siberian railway on account of the Chinese Soviet difficulties in Manchuria. Washington, Oct. 21. (AP) Two of the senates staunch advocates of an entirely adequate national defense are understood to have been selected by President Hoover for membership on the American delegation to the London naval conference. They are David A.

Reed of Pennsylvania. a' Republican member of the foreign relations committee, and Joseph T. Robinson, the Democratic floor leader. While the choice of Senator Robinson was regarded as entirely logical. word that Reed was to be a member, of the commission was received with some surprise.

It is understood, however, that the presidents selection came after extended conferences with chairman Borah of the foreign relations committee and Senator Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader. Both Robinson and Reed advocated and voted for the 15 cruiser bill which was passed last year and each urged the ratification of the Kellogg treaty for the renunciation of war. Both are considered exceptionally able debaters, qualifications which will come into play when and if a naval limitation treaty, product of the coming conference, is brought before the senate for ratification. Speculation is current here as ti whether Senator Borah was offered a place on the delegation. It is understood, however, that he made clear to the president an often expressed desire to remain in thiv country, in close touch with the legislative proceedings on Capitol Hill.

21. (AP) President Hoover in reply to a protest from Florida over the appointment of a federal attorney has announced it is the duty of the chief executive to make selections on the basis of public service and not for political reasons. The letter, made public at the White House today, was in reply to a communication from Fred E. Britten, secretary of the Republican party in Florida, on the appointment of Federal District Attorney Hughes. It asserted the Florida secretary and other Republican leaders in that state had overlooked the "primary responsibility incumbent on the chief executive "to appoint men to public office who will execute the laws of the United States with integrity and without fear, favor or political collusion.

I note ycur demand, the letter said, "that the organization shall dictate appointments in Florida irrespective of merit or my responsibility and that you appealed to the opponents of the administration to attack me.

Edison, Mr. and Mfs. Ford and DISSENSIONS OVER TARIFF TEARS SENATE Watch for Split Among Demos and Independent Republicans Washington, Oct. 21. (AP) Replete with controversies, the rate schedules of the tariff bill today absorbed the attention of a senate already torn by the dissensions of the measures administrative provisions.

Meanwhile, there was a careful watch for signs of a split in the ranks of the Democratic-independ-1 ent Republican coalition which has opposed repeatedly and successfully the legislative maneuvers of the administration Republicans, notably In eliminating the flexible provisions desired by President Hoover and in inserting the export debenture farm relief plan, which the chief executive had denounced in no uncertain terms. Senator Borah was confident that the rate schedules did not contain sufficient dynamite to shatter the united that the independents, of whom he is a leader, and the Democrats had previously presented. The purpose of the as he puts it. is to rewrite the rates in such a fashion that agriculture will be given the protection which his colleagues consider necessary. He has served notice that if this is not done at the special -session.

it will be demanded at the regular session. President Hoover to the contrary notwithstanding. Leaders of the administration Republicans predicted that the alliance would be broken by many of the individual rate schedules. They contended too, that the schedules as written by the senate finance committee are more acceptable to President Hoover, embodied in the house measure. Light Frost Falls In Parts of State Toneka.

Shannon stores to celebrate the completion of the extensive remod-llng of the building which has been going on for the past three months, came to a finish at 9 oclock last Saturday right In what might almost be called a blaze of glory. The sale was conducted upon a unique plan a naw variation of the old voting contest idea, and the result was a crescendo of interest, increasing from day to day and reaching a cUmax on the ls day of the sale.

Votes for the various contestants who were striving to win the prizes were based upon a number of things in an unusual way. On two named days a certain number of votes w'ere given to a1! registering in the store, end that brought something like 2,000 persons. On another dav votes were given for each old automobile tire brought in to the store, and that accounts for a pile of more than 1.500 ancient casings, which were banked up around the store for a few days. Other votes of cours were given for goods purchased ancl that doubtless accounts in part for the fact that the last day sals amounted to something above $3 000. The winners of the five handsome prizes offered were the following: Miss Co-a Elsmore Rural Route, Mrs.

Robert Stewart. Moran Rural Route, Miss Ella May Diebolt. Piqua, Mrs. Goldie Larson Hoff-meier, formerly of Colony, now of Iola. and Mrs.

O. D. Young. Ioa. The votes received by Miss Laver and Mrs.

Stewart were so evenly balanced that as a matter of fairness the capital prize offered for the winner was duplicated and boti these ladies received identical prizes On the whole Mr. Shannon declares the sale fully met his expectations and demonstrated that business is to be had in Iola when it is gone after in the right way. The remodeling which has been taking place in the Shannon store has resulted virtually in a new building, with the exception of the roof and the floors A new eighteen inch wall was built on the east, and a new front wall was constructed. The partition wall which had existed down the middle of the building was taken out both, in the basement and on the first and second floors and steel work substituted. All together the repairs and improvements reached a cost approximating 10.000 and the result is a thoroughly modern up-to-date and substantial place of business.
