NO ADMITTANCE t2S Prize V O U might call it my big moment, but it was also my most em- barrassing one. For in February, 1919, I was ill in Base Hospital I, St. Nazalre, France. Of course, a Red Cross nurse wasn't supposed to be sick, but there I was flat on my back in bed with the mumps. My face and be quiet, for Gen. Pershing Is making a tour of inspection of the hospital." She was gone, and the words "inspection" and "Pershing" were frozen to my brain. I had a sick feeling and wondered if my bedroom slippers were lined up. I leaned out of bed to see. The bed was high; my arms were short; and I fell out of bed, dislocating my shoulder, and landing on my back with my feet up in the air. I called rtclnac^^a^ernDtr^fa^'coSaDs^d for , th * nurse " She came runnin *' stomacn as empty as a coiiapsea and when gh predicament SSTJSS?J?

Hundreds of active, contented middle- aged women are telling their friends that they owe their health and vigor to Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Mrs. Clara Riley, 2100 Paxton & 4th Ave., Sioux City, Iowa "I began to take Lydfa E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound at Change of Life. I still take it every spring and fall and it keeps me in good health. I am able to take care of an eight room house and garden, at the age of 71 years. It is a wonderful medicine for wo- men. They should give it a good trial by taking about five bottles." Mrs. Bertha Stephens, 21 E. Ross St., Lancaster, Pennsylvania "I toas very nervous and rundown and weighed less than one hundred pounds. I felt tired and weak and I often had to lie down. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound because I read the ad- vertisement in the paper. Now I eat well, sleep well, and have good color. In fact-1 couldn't feel any better and I weigh one hundred fifty-five pounds^ 1 am glad to answer letters." Hannah M. Eversmeyer, 707 N-16 SL, East St. Louis, Illinois "I had a nervous breakdown and could not do the work I have t o d o around the house. Through one of your booklets I found how Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound had helped other women and I went to the drug store and got me six bottles.

County to acquire site for welfare building Early next week, possibly Monday, County Attorney M. Edwin Merwin, ap- pearing before County Judge George H. Rowe, will start condemnation pro- ceedings to enable the county to ob- tain possession of property at South Elmwood avenue, West Eagle and West Genesee streets for a welfare building. Merwin will ask for a com- mission of three to determine the property's value. This will require months of work, during which many hearings will be held. The board of supervisors once ap- proved a motion to buy the property for $200,000. The Buffalo Real Estate Board appraised it at $117,000, and in the face of much adverse criticism, the supervisors rescinded their action. THE WEATHER Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.

PARKER TRIAL WILL PROCEED THIS MORNING Judge Adler refuses requested de- lay, directs witnesses in case to be ready By JAMES P. MEEGAN Staff Correspondent, Courier-Express Rochester, June 6—Refusing a re- quested postponement until Monday, Judge Simon L. Adler today, in fed- eral court here, ordered the trial of Fred B. Parker, former Genesee County Republican leader, on charges of conspiracy and extortion, to pro- ceed without fail tomorrow morning. The case, already delayed for several days because of a lengthy trial, will get under way at 10 o'clock with the selection of a Jury from a newly drawn panel. Directing more than 40 witnesses for both the prosecution and defense to be ready at that time, Judge Adler announced that no further delays would be permitted for any reason and the case of Parker, who insists he is the victim of a political frame- up, and his two co-defendants, Floyd Abrams and John G. Clark, Buffalo dry agents, must be completed at the present term of court, scheduled to end the latter part of next week. Demmerle Beats Charges A postponement over the weekend was suggested by Justin C. Morgan, assistant federal attorney who will prosecute the accused men, to enable him to obtain a few days' rest. Mor- gan late tonight finished the four- day trial of Gustave A. Demmerle, private clerk to Robert W. Gallagher, Buffalo postmaster, on a charge of stealing from the mails. In a divided verdict, reported a few minutes after midnight, a jury before Judge Adler acquitted Dem- merle, who lives at 695 East Utica street, Buffalo v of two of four counts of an indictment charging theft from the mails. A disagreement was reported on the other two counts. The jury was dis- charged and Demmerle, it was an- nounced by Justin C. Morgan, assist- ant federal attorney, will be retried on these counts at a fall term of court. Disagree on Two Counts The jury ^disagreed on the charges that Demmerle tampered with an of- ficial letter and stole a paycheck for $91 addressed to R. J. Leary, a Lacka- wanna rural mail carrier. He was found not guilty on the charge of stealing two $5 bills from test letters sent through the' mails by postal in- spectors after he had been placed un- der surveilance following the loss of Leary's pay check. The government's case against the Parker who for years directed the political affairs of Genesee County and who had a choice in state politics depends almost entirely on William Brohman, Batavia speakeasy pro- prietor, who has asserted he paid $250 jointly to Parker, Abrams and Clark last December for protection. The payment, Brohman will testify, was made at Parker's suggestion to avoid the possibility of arrest for alleged violation of the prohibition laws at a time when dry agents, working out of the Buffalo office, were partic- ularly active in the Batavia territory. While Brohman is the only person who has openly admitted paying hush money, ten other speakeasy proprietors will give testimony dur- ing the trial of alleged attempts on the part of Parker and the two dry agents to exact bribes from them. None of these witnesses, in recent questionings, have admitted paying money. Parker's Defense Parker's defense, in addition to a general denial of the charges, will probably develop into an attack on the credibility of the government wit- nesses. He will call several character .witnesses, including officials of Ba- tavia and Genesee County officers, to testify as to his character and rep- utation during his many years of political life. Prom the government's own wit- nesses, according to the present plans of John S. McGovern of Buffalo, de- fense counsel, it is hoped to bring out the pre-trial charges of an al- leged political frame-up of Parker. Attempts will be made to, prove that Parker's opponents in the Genesee County organization are behind his arrest and indictment on the extor- tion charges. Prominent figures in the political life of Rochester and Monroe County with whom Parker was closely identi- fied during his political career and Batavia state fair activities, were present in the court room this morn- ing when it was expected his trial would begin. The coming trial has aroused considerable interest and the largest number of spectators to at- tend a summer session of United States court is expected. State Tells What Erie Hunters' Game Bag Holds I Cottontail rabbits, pheasants and pike perch I taken in largest numbers Albany, June 5—The conservation department now is engaged in tabu- lating the take of game birds, animals and fish for the year 1928, as reported on the stubs of the 1929 hunting licenses. All persons when they take out a hunting license are required to report to the officer issuing the lie* ise the number and species of game taken on their license for the preceding year, and these figures are entered on the stub of the new license. At the end of the year these stubs are for- warded to the conservation depart- meent, where they are compiled to supply basic information that is of importance in determining open sea- sons and bag limits. The total num- ber of blank stubs turned in was 27,536. A total of 4,909 stubs reported no birds and animals and 11,373 no fish. It is important that every one re- porting his game take should be par- ticular to see that the information given is correct, as a great deal de- 717. pends upon the accuracy of this infor- mation in determining the size of the bag hjnit that can be permitted with- out endangering any species, the de- partment says. The fact that game is reported on a license for a certain county does not necessarily indicate that the game was taken in that county, as a license is good all over the state. The returns of game taken in Erie County in 1928, by species, shows: Cottontail rabbits, 23,108; snowshoe rabbits, 1,035; Jack rabbits, 1,677; black squirrels. 658; fox squirrels, 92; gray squirrels, 1,755; skunks, 1,730; muskrats, 7,558; raccoons, 444; mink, 210; red foxes, five; gray foxes, two; fishers, five; bears, one; pheasants, 21,112; ducks. 2,718; geese, four; quail, 28; woodcock, 5T7; Wilson snipe, 183; golden plover, mree; coots, four.

URBAN LEAGUE SESSION W I L L CLOSE TONIGHT Conference discusses new place for Negro in vocational fife « of nation The Negro of today has proved that the supposed "facts" about the Negro of the days of slavery were mostly fancy, and that the "fancies" of the abolitionists, who contended that the Negro is a human being and entitled to all the rights of one, were in reality facts, Ira De A. Reid of New York said last night at the National Urban League's session held in the Central Y. M. C. A. Mr. Reid was one of three speakers who addressed the members of the league, a Negro organization. Joseph D. Bibb of Chicago, editor of a paper called The Whip, pointed out the economic power the Negro has and how he can use it» A certain chain store in Chicago, serving a Negro community and refusing to em- ploy Negro help, was brought to a right-about face after two weeks of boycott, in which the store lost $17,000, he said. Now the store employs Negroes. Miss Mary Van Kleeck of New York, speaking on community welfare and Negro workers, said that industry, generally speaking, is careless of its workers and should learn to consider their welfare more seriously. Negroes, she said, are the last to be hired and the first to be discharged and are especially aware of this, but the ten- dency to ignore the needs and com- forts of working people is nationwide and worldwide, the speaker said. Talk* and Discussions The sessions of tne National Ur- ban League conference yesterday were given over to short talks and dis- cussions on what is new in vocation- al education for Negroes. Will Mosher Clark, principal of School 32, presided at the forenoon session in the Michigan avenue Y. M. C. A., the discussion being led by Edward S. Lewis, secretary of the Kansas City (Mo.) Urban League. At the afternoon session N. B. Allen, secretary of the Columbus (O.) Ur- ban League, presided, the discussion being led by Dr. Niles Carpenter of the University of Buffalo. Douglas P. Falconer of the Chil- dren's Aid Society presided at the night session in Perkins Memorial Hall, Central Y. M. C. A. The conference will close today. The morning session will open at 11 o'clock in the Michigan Avenue Y. M. C. A. with Monroe N. Work of Tuskeege In- stitute presiding. Topics for discus- sion will be Community Responsibility in Vocational Problems for Negroes, and Southern Sentiment and Negro Labor. The afternoon session will be for staffs and board members. Trip to Falls This afternoon at 4.30 o'clock dele- gates to the conference will be on a sightseeing trip to Niagara Falls. To- night at 9.30 o'clock a formal recep- tion by the citizens' committee will be given the league delegates in Lafay- ette Community house at Elmwood and Lafayette avenues. RIVER EROSION T O P I C BEFORE BUSINESS MEN Member tells Clinton Street Asso- ciation he has lost seven of eighteen acres A healed denunciation of the public works department for failure to pre- vent the rapid erosion of the banks of the Buffalo River at its bends, par- ticulary since the deepening of the channel, was the high light of the talk given last night by Henry A. Kam- nan, Buffalo meat packer, before members of the Clinton Street Busi- ness Men's Association at the Neigh- borhood House in Clinton street. Mr. Kamman stated that seven of his eighteen acres have been washed away by the current of the river, and that if something is not done to remedy conditions he will bring suit against the public works department to recover damages. Prominent in this discussion was Councilman John Ulinski, who stated GRADUATES 6 3 Citizenship school has year's rec- ord class Sixty-three members of the School of Citizenship were graduated last night at Hutchinson High School, the largest class graduated during the en- tire year. The curse runs for 90 days end graduations are staged each month. An address on citizenship was de- livered by Clarence McGregor, justice of the supreme court, who stressed the fact that service to others is the keynote of Americanism. Other speakers were Dr. George Smith, deputy superintendent of education; the Rev. Francis Wanenmacher, pas- tor of St. Bernard's Church and chaplain of Clinton Post, American Legion, and Raymond J. Ast, princi- pal of the school of citizenship. The American Legion Auxiliary Glee Club put on a program includ- ing a pageant entitled The Melting Pot. There were offerings by soloists of various nationalities. .The Zuleika Grotto band furnished the music. to the fact that the Buffalo River is a navigable stream. Mr. Ulinski said, however, that he would recom- mend a resolution to the council to alter the charter so as to make the stream "non-navigable," following which remedial measures could be introduced. ? Object to Garbage The association voted to oppose the railroads closing South Ogden street for their erection of a viaduct, basing its opposition on the ground that all garbage bound for the incinerator in Cheektowaga would, if the bridge is erected, necessitate Buffalo's waste going through Clinton street. A committee was appointed to select a place and date for the association's annual picnic, to be held late this month or early in July. Resolutions were adopted, also, to request the health department to ins- titute an investigation of alleged un- sanitary conditions prevalent in some chain stores of the east side section.

I t was reported by workers that they had been unable to reach sev­eral hundred prospects. Including more than 300 who have been pur­chasers of seats over a period of i years. When this group has been reached it is practically certain that the campaign quota of 1,500 advance •ales will have been reached, it was said by Eugene L. Klocke, who con­ducted the campaign for the Founda­tion.

Alfred H. Schoellkopf had the workers as his guests at tea in his home in West Ferry street for the submission of final reports. Mrs. Schoellkopf received the guests. Mrs. Harold W. Hunsiker and Mrs. Lester F. Gilbert being to charge of the tables.

Mr. Schoellkopf declared the cam­paign has been a civic achievement In stimulating interest in music. He urged that all who wish to help make possible future series of concerts call the Foundation before the end of this week, when a supplemental report will be issued.

EYES ON ALBANY Gross to contest for

Dickey's Seat H. W.

Foreshadowing an organized dry of­fensive at the primary election polls was the announcement yesterday by Edwin K. Gross, former newspaper­man and now publicity and adver­tising writer of 349 Bissell avenue, that he will seek the Republican nom­ination for assembly in the sixth dis­trict now represented by Howard W. Dickey, appealing for support on the state law enforcement act issue.

Mr. Gross is secretary of the men's division of Citizen's Committee for Law Enforcement and has been gen­erally active in church and fraternal affairs.

Intimation that the same militant dry elements that will lend support to Mr. Gross' candidacy are grooming dry primary entries against other wet Erie County assemblymen was con­tained in the concluding paragraph of Mr. Gross' formal statement.

pal boards of the Village of Kenmore and Town of Tonawanda led by Mayor Edward Leininger and Super­visor Roy R. Brockett, respectively, will be present and will participate in the ceremonies.

The celebration Hs in charge of church officials, who are working in co-operation with the Kenmore-Ton­awanda Historical Society. Dr. Fred S. Parkhurst, president of the society, will act as chairman The special features of the anniversary will be dedication of an engraved brass plaque set in a large boulder on the church grounds. The New York State Historical Society donated the plate.

St. Peter's church was founded in 1830 by German settlers from the Mo­hawk Valley. At first services were held in the old Dirnberger barn, which was located in what is now Military road. Later a school build­ing close to the site of the village hall was utilized. The present church, building was erected in 1849.

County to acquire site for welfare building

Early next week, possibly Monday, County Attorney M. Edwin Merwin, ap­pearing before County Judge George H. Rowe, will start condemnation pro­ceedings to enable the county to ob­tain possession of property at South Elmwood avenue, West Eagle and West Genesee streets for a welfare building. Merwin will ask for a com­mission of three to determine the property's value. This will require months of work, during which many hearings will be held.

The board of supervisors once ap­proved a motion to buy the property for $200,000. The Buffalo Real Estate Board appraised it at $117,000, and in the face of much adverse criticism, the supervisors rescinded their action.

PARKER TRIAL WILL PROCEED

THIS MORNING Judge Adler refuses requested de­

lay, directs witnesses in case to be ready

By JAMES P. MEEGAN Staff Correspondent, Courier-Express

Rochester, June 6—Refusing a re­quested postponement until Monday, Judge Simon L. Adler today, in fed­eral court here, ordered the trial of Fred B. Parker, former Genesee County Republican leader, on charges of conspiracy and extortion, to pro­ceed without fail tomorrow morning. The case, already delayed for several days because of a lengthy trial, will get under way at 10 o'clock with the selection of a Jury from a newly drawn panel.

Directing more than 40 witnesses for both the prosecution and defense to be ready at that time, Judge Adler announced that no further delays would be permitted for any reason and the case of Parker, who insists he is the victim of a political frame-up, and his two co-defendants, Floyd Abrams and John G. Clark, Buffalo dry agents, must be completed at the present term of court, scheduled to end the latter part of next week.

Demmerle Beats Charges A postponement over the weekend

was suggested by Justin C. Morgan, assistant federal attorney who will prosecute the accused men, to enable him to obtain a few days' rest. Mor­gan late tonight finished the four-day trial of Gustave A. Demmerle, private clerk to Robert W. Gallagher, Buffalo postmaster, on a charge of stealing from the mails.

In a divided verdict, reported a few minutes after midnight, a jury before Judge Adler acquitted Dem­merle, who lives at 695 East Utica street, Buffalovof two of four counts of an indictment charging theft from the mails.

A disagreement was reported on the other two counts. The jury was dis­charged and Demmerle, it was an­nounced by Justin C. Morgan, assist­ant federal attorney, will be retried on these counts at a fall term of court.

Disagree on Two Counts The jury ̂ disagreed on the charges

that Demmerle tampered with an of­ficial letter and stole a paycheck for $91 addressed to R. J. Leary, a Lacka­wanna rural mail carrier. He was found not guilty on the charge of stealing two $5 bills from test letters sent through the' mails by postal in­spectors after he had been placed un­der surveilance following the loss of Leary's pay check.

The government's case against the Parker who for years directed the political affairs of Genesee County and who had a choice in state politics depends almost entirely on William Brohman, Batavia speakeasy pro­prietor, who has asserted he paid $250 jointly to Parker, Abrams and Clark last December for protection. The payment, Brohman will testify, was made at Parker's suggestion to avoid the possibility of arrest for alleged violation of the prohibition laws at a time when dry agents, working out of the Buffalo office, were partic­ularly active in the Batavia territory.

While Brohman is the only person who has openly admitted paying hush money, ten other speakeasy proprietors will give testimony dur­ing the trial of alleged attempts on the part of Parker and the two dry agents to exact bribes from them. None of these witnesses, in recent questionings, have admitted paying money.

Parker's Defense Parker's defense, in addition to a

general denial of the charges, will probably develop into an attack on the credibility of the government wit­nesses. He will call several character .witnesses, including officials of Ba­tavia and Genesee County officers, to testify as to his character and rep­utation during his many years of political life.

Prom the government's own wit­nesses, according to the present plans of John S. McGovern of Buffalo, de­fense counsel, it is hoped to bring out the pre-trial charges of an al­leged political frame-up of Parker.

Attempts will be made to, prove that Parker's opponents in the Genesee County organization are behind his arrest and indictment on the extor­tion charges.

Prominent figures in the political life of Rochester and Monroe County with whom Parker was closely identi­fied during his political career and Batavia state fair activities, were present in the court room this morn­ing when it was expected his trial would begin. The coming trial has aroused considerable interest and the largest number of spectators to at­tend a summer session of United States court is expected.

State Tells What Erie Hunters' Game Bag Holds

I Cottontail rabbits, pheasants and pike perch

I taken in largest numbers Albany, June 5—The conservation

department now is engaged in tabu­lating the take of game birds, animals and fish for the year 1928, as reported on the stubs of the 1929 hunting licenses.

All persons when they take out a hunting license are required to report to the officer issuing the lie* ise the number and species of game taken on their license for the preceding year, and these figures are entered on the stub of the new license. At the end of the year these stubs are for­warded to the conservation depart-meent, where they are compiled to supply basic information that is of importance in determining open sea­sons and bag limits. The total num­ber of blank stubs turned in was 27,536. A total of 4,909 stubs reported no birds and animals and 11,373 no fish.

I t is important that every one re­porting his game take should be par­ticular to see that the information given is correct, as a great deal de- 717.

pends upon the accuracy of this infor­mation in determining the size of the bag hjnit that can be permitted with­out endangering any species, the de­partment says.

The fact that game is reported on a license for a certain county does not necessarily indicate that the game was taken in that county, as a license is good all over the state.

The returns of game taken in Erie County in 1928, by species, shows: Cottontail rabbits, 23,108; snowshoe rabbits, 1,035; Jack rabbits, 1,677; black squirrels. 658; fox squirrels, 92; gray squirrels, 1,755; skunks, 1,730; muskrats, 7,558; raccoons, 444; mink, 210; red foxes, five; gray foxes, two; fishers, five; bears, one; pheasants, 21,112; ducks. 2,718; geese, four; quail, 28; woodcock, 5T7; Wilson snipe, 183; golden plover, mree; coots, four.

URBAN LEAGUE SESSION WILL

CLOSE TONIGHT Conference discusses new place

for Negro in vocational fife

«of nation

The Negro of today has proved that the supposed "facts" about the Negro of the days of slavery were mostly fancy, and that the "fancies" of the abolitionists, who contended that the Negro is a human being and entitled to all the rights of one, were in reality facts, Ira De A. Reid of New York said last night at the National Urban League's session held in the Central Y. M. C. A.

Mr. Reid was one of three speakers who addressed the members of the league, a Negro organization.

Joseph D. Bibb of Chicago, editor of a paper called The Whip, pointed out the economic power the Negro has and how he can use it» A certain chain store in Chicago, serving a Negro community and refusing to em­ploy Negro help, was brought to a right-about face after two weeks of boycott, in which the store lost $17,000, he said. Now the store employs Negroes.

Miss Mary Van Kleeck of New York, speaking on community welfare and Negro workers, said that industry, generally speaking, is careless of its workers and should learn to consider their welfare more seriously. Negroes, she said, are the last to be hired and the first to be discharged and are especially aware of this, but the ten­dency to ignore the needs and com­forts of working people is nationwide and worldwide, the speaker said.

Talk* and Discussions The sessions of tne National Ur­

ban League conference yesterday were given over to short talks and dis­cussions on what is new in vocation­al education for Negroes. Will Mosher Clark, principal of School 32, presided at the forenoon session in the Michigan avenue Y. M. C. A., the discussion being led by Edward S. Lewis, secretary of the Kansas City (Mo.)

RIVER EROSION TOPIC BEFORE

BUSINESS MEN Member tells Clinton Street Asso­

ciation he has lost seven of eighteen acres

A healed denunciation of the public works department for failure to pre­vent the rapid erosion of the banks of the Buffalo River at its bends, par-ticulary since the deepening of the channel, was the high light of the talk given last night by Henry A. Kam-nan, Buffalo meat packer, before members of the Clinton Street Busi­ness Men's Association at the Neigh­borhood House in Clinton street.

Mr. Kamman stated that seven of his eighteen acres have been washed away by the current of the river, and that if something is not done to remedy conditions he will bring suit against the public works department to recover damages.

Prominent in this discussion was Councilman John Ulinski, who stated

GRADUATES 6 3 Citizenship school has year's rec­

ord class Sixty-three members of the School

of Citizenship were graduated last night at Hutchinson High School, the largest class graduated during the en­tire year. The curse runs for 90 days end graduations are staged each month.

An address on citizenship was de­livered by Clarence McGregor, justice of the supreme court, who stressed the fact that service to others is the keynote of Americanism. Other speakers were Dr. George Smith, deputy superintendent of education; the Rev. Francis Wanenmacher, pas­tor of St. Bernard's Church and chaplain of Clinton Post, American Legion, and Raymond J. Ast, princi­pal of the school of citizenship.

The American Legion Auxiliary Glee Club put on a program includ­ing a pageant entitled The Melting Pot. There were offerings by soloists of various nationalities. .The Zuleika Grotto band furnished the music.

to the fact that the Buffalo River is a navigable stream. Mr. Ulinski said, however, that he would recom­mend a resolution to the council to alter the charter so as to make the stream "non-navigable," following which remedial measures could be introduced. ?

Object to Garbage The association voted to oppose the

railroads closing South Ogden street for their erection of a viaduct, basing its opposition on the ground that all garbage bound for the incinerator in Cheektowaga would, if the bridge is erected, necessitate Buffalo's waste going through Clinton street.

A committee was appointed to select a place and date for the association's annual picnic, to be held late this month or early in July.

Resolutions were adopted, also, to request the health department to ins­titute an investigation of alleged un­sanitary conditions prevalent in some chain stores of the east side section.
