A look S great anger came over his face as he prepared to seek out the perpetrator of the vile deed But from the audience arose one who said: Please, sir, Im very I meant it for your opponent.sorry WeU, my friend, came the quick reply from the injured one I sincerely wish that you had meant it for me and it hit him. S The decision, delivered by Justice Roberts, reversed a ruling by the second Circuit court of appeals upholding the governments use of such evidence in obtaining conviction of four men on a charge of smuggling alcohol into New York.

Ludlow obtained the necessary 218 signatures to force the house to consider the plan during the regular session, but no one expects its approval in the near future. Feature writers say professional speakers are dying out. That may be true in after-dinn- er New York, where folks are anxious to get the dinner over with so they may hurry to the nightspots and do some sincere and earnest drinking in an effort to forget what the stock market did to them yesterday and what its going to do to them tomorrow.
