PRES TOPENS
WORLD FAIR
IN CHICAGO
Women's Exposition Launched
By President Coolidge Via
the Radio Example Set in
Public Office Stressed By
Chief Executive Cabbages
vs. Votes for Women.
WASHINGTON, April 18. Presi
dent Coolidge In a radio address de
livered tody on the occasion of tfcc
opening of the Women's World's
fair in Chicago said an advantage
to bo gained from government- econ
omy and efficiency is the inspiration
they provide for pursuit of such
methods In business and in the
home.
"If the people," nsserted the pres
ident, "In tho daily management of
their modest domestic affairs, note
that the great interests of theja gov
ernments and of their semi-public
Institutions are dealt with in a spirit
.of laxity and a mood of carelessness,
they find little inspiration to apply
better methods in the management
of their own concerns. The great
business operations which are con
stantly under the public eye ought
to bo handled so as to make them an
example in sound proceedure.
"The importance of -sound busi
ness methods was never so great as
it is today. It is particularly true
placed on a basis of rigid economy,
that government business should be
"In our modern society, public and
private savings are quickly trans
mitted Into capital available for pro
duction. . The increasod production
. makes goods more, plentiful and
therefore cheaper; and at the lower
price level people can afford to con
sume more. i-
"The I'eal disaster to a modern
community comes when easy and ill
Jonsidored consumption prevents tho
storing away of new capital to meet
tho ever-Increasing demands."
Mr. Coolidge commended sponsors
of the fair - for placing their work!
on a business basis by establishing a
budget, with a result that all ex-
senses were met before the doors
were ready to ho opened- This 71-'
nanclal accomplishment, he added,
presents a "strong contrast to tho
average project of Ifko character;
supported in easy fashion out of
public funds."
"I know of nothing more cnlcu- j
lated to promote tho pride of vigor-1
ous community life, tho sentiments
of self-respecting nationalism, tho
truest loyalty, to high traditions of!
national character than these distinc-j
five assemblies of tho people," the
president said'. !
"If vo -could find means to bring
all the people and groups of the
people truly to know and under-
stand each other, I am confident
most of our social problems would
have been started well on the way to
solution. It Is not intolerance, so
much as Ignorance that leads men
and nations into antagonism."
Pointing out the benefits to be
gained from holding the fair' which
opened today in Chicago,- Mr. Cool
idge said "our country wants Its arts
and scienco; Its commerco and agri
culture; its production and transpor
tation; its education and invention,
not merely that they may bo used
In the market aplce, the factory and
tho field, but that they may all be
translated into the home."
"All of these efforts," he added,
.''arc for broadening the outlook on
life, for making better men and
women; they all have the purpose to
become effective forces at tho fire
side. For long ages past men have
gone forth into the world; more re
cently they have been followed by
women. Each are endowed with the
same desire, each attempting to
contribute to the satisfaction of tho
universal longing of the human race
to bring something better; home. The
contribution that It can make to
that high purpose, the success of
this fair will be measured." !
Cnbhngo Brought Suffrage
CHICAOO, April 18. (By Associ
ated Trend.) More than seventy oc
cupation of women are represented

Daily Report on
the Crime Wave
BART ST. LOUIS, 111 , April 13.
Christopher Columbus Owaltney, 32,
a plumber and Peter Totsch, 56, his
employer, quarreled In the First Na
tional bank here today, then wont
outside to the city's busiest corner,
where Owaltney shot and killed
Totsch and Patrolman David A. Moh
ler, 53, who interfered and in turn
was shot and killed by Detective
Sergeant Georgo Burns.
Scores of persons at tho intersec
tion fled in consternation, thinking
a bank robbery was in progress.
Officers believed the quarrel grew
out of a claim which had been mndo
by the laborer that his week's wages
wero short one day's pay. Totsch
was business agent of plumbers',
laborers' union No. 62 and plumber
for ht local water company. He
had employed Gwaltney as a pipe
layer.

ing a car while intoxicated was that
of R. W. Walker of Gold Hill, in

noon. Walker was arrested in Gold
Hill last night by Deputy Sheriff
Terry Talent on that charge.
Walker was sentenced to sixty days
in Jail, fined $100 and his car driving
license was suspended for one year.
This Is the minimum sentence under
this law.
he was a first "hey," not a Russian,
and never claimed to be. He said he
and his ancestors had fought the
Russians for 6? years.
"Here they call me a prince," he
said. -"That Is how they .translate
my title. You have no better wotd
with which to describe It."

Amazing Spectacle Presented
When Heir to British Throne
Is Greeted By 20,000 Na
tive Horsemen in the Wilds
of Nigeria.
KANO, Nigeria, April 18. (By tho
Associated Press) Crowds of na
tives poured Into Kano all night long
to get a view of the Prince of Wales
who arrived here yesterday. Tho
newcomers displayed great enthu
siasm, blowing horns and making so
much noise that sleep was impos
sible . ,
The scone from the building tops
this morning was amazing, great
streams of plodding natives at Hitch
ing for miles in all directions, con
verging on Kano like Bwarms xt ants.
The emirs have already congre
gated for the durbar (formal recep
tion to native princes). Most of
them travelled hundreds of miles,
accompanied by hosts of retainers
and there were many deaths among
the parties owing to the intense heat
and jungle accidents.
All the emirs are attired In new
and costly garments, acquired espec
ially for their interview with the
royal traveller.
Despite the long train journey and
his exertions at tennis, Wales at
tended a dance after dinner last
evening.
Kano's white population Is only
350, , but 500 were present at the
dance, visitors having come from
all parts of the northern provinces.
Nineteen of the 25 women present
had trnvelled great distances to wel
conic tho Prince of Wales. The
prln7:e, who wore a dinner jacket,
received every person present and
danced every dance.
A striking scene awaited the prince
When he arrived at eight o'clock
this morning Jor the durbar. There
wet4-' twenty thousand-; horsemen
ranged In a horseshoo formation,
all flaunting their cblorsi Mounted
Hrltish officers copimandlng tho na
tive troops hurried about, complet
ing their arrangements for tho event.
Press dispatches wore taken from
durbar to tho Kano post office by
mounted police who galloped acToss
the fields to get tho news of the
event tqhe wire.
As the prince arrived complete si
lence fell on the .big arena, this
being tho Nigerians' manner of
showing their respect. Then a Ni
gerian regimental band, the mem
bers of which play by ear, burst Into
a stirring march and hundreds of
nativo drums were beaten.
Immediately upon his arrival the
prince took a seat on the dais which
was covered with a multi-colored
canopy captured during fighting 70
years ago. A parade of Nigerian in
fantry and artillerymen, the latter1
carrying gun parts on their heads,
was executed with beautiful pre-j
cision. The crowd gave the spec-!
taclo a tumultuous reception, cheer
after cheor breaking forth as the;
drums continued to roll. !
Troops pf the emirs cavalry
charged Into tho field almost to the
prince's feet with their lances at
point and their swords, many of
them - dating back to the crusaders'
time, waving in tho air. At the last
moment, thoy pulled up spectacu
larly within a space less than two
yards from the. prince, giving a
magnificent display of horsemanship.
Oreat maneuvers of cavalry fol
lowed, wave upon wave of hoi se
men, each headed by a band playing
ancient Instruments and all clad in
the most gorgeous uniforms, carry
ing outlheir movements with veteran-like
precision.
The princo viewed the scene with
the most intense interest and the
crowds went wild as tho exultant
drums rolled ceaselessly.

TITLE CHANGES
IN BUS BALLOT
SALEM, Ore., April IS J Modify
ing the ballot title as prepared for
tho bus bill referendum petitions by
Attornoy General VanWinkle, but
not granting in full the demand of
tho petitioners for an alteration of
the title, . Judge McMahun today
handed down an order In the ap
peal of the Lane and Marion county
courts from tho Van Winkle ballot
to the circuit court.
M Tho county courts averred that the
ballot tittle prepared by Van Winkle
stated that thr, state lovics taxes on
the busses wheVeas by their petition
it Imposes charges. Tho McMahan
order makes it read "levy license
taxes."
Another, contention, of tho county

did not show that It applies on lyto
common carriers. Tho order of Judge
McMahan brings that out clearly.
Tho bus bill passed by the recent
legislature is being referendumed by
