OF NEW YORK
New York. May 30.—Traffic
congestion in Manhattan is so
chronically acute that an appeal,
■“Please Park Your Car Outside,” is
being broadcast to the thousands of
tourists who are expected to motor
here during the national Democratic
convention.
There are normally 350,000 motor
■vehicles in New York City and
■enough horse drawn trucks and car-
riages to swell the total to nearly a
half million. With thousands of elec-
tric surface cars operating, with su-
perstructures of elevated railroads
■arrowing some streets and with
most of the city’s 0,000,00 popula-
tion constantly going somewhere
afoot, traffic is congested despite a
rigid system of police control.
Convention officials estimate that
at least 200,000 persons will come
to New York for the convention by
traTVi, by boat, by automobile and
even by airplane. This number does
not, however, include 50,000 persons
who, it is estimated, will commute
to and from the city from within a
radius of 50 or 100 miles during the
convention.
“Our appeal,” said Stanley J.
Quinn, directing vice-president of
the local non-partisan national con-
yention committee, "is aimed at the
commuters and the tourists who will
motor from long distances to remain
in the metropolis throughout the
convention. It will be absolutely im
possible for them to find parking
space or garage room within easy
walking distance of the Madison
Square Garden section or, for that
matter, anywhere in central Manhat-
tan.
"So the automobile club's, transit
•companies, police and
directors have joined in
Your Car Outside’ campaign. We
want the tourists to come but we
want to make things pleasant for
them when they arrive.”
All motorists from within commut-
ing distance are being urged to
park their cars near rapid-transit
terminals in the residential sections,
whence they can ride by subway,
elevated or bus directly to Madison
Square park, quickly and cheaply.
Motorists from afar are asked also
to park in the outskirts, either in
the areas at rapid-transit terminals
over which automobile associations
and police will stand guard, or in
the numerous garages in the sub-
urbs. Various agencies are work-
ing with garage owners toward es-
tablishing a fair price system of
storage and repair charges, so that
there be no gouging.
Austin, Texas, May 30.—Begin-

«1-29-3t. LAURA SHERMAN
Washington, May 30.—Republi-
can progressives in congress have
declared a tacit boycott on the Re-
publican national convention at
Cleveland.
Out of the progressive group in
the senate, which has brought about
the downfall of virtually every piece
of legislation preferred by Presi-
dent Coolidge, two expect to attend
the G O. P. conclave.
One of these is Senator Norbeck
of South Dakota, who goes as a del-
convention j egate to lead the Senator Hiram
this ‘Park I Johnson forces. The other is Sena-
tor Howell, who is Republican na-
tional committeeman from Nebras-
ka. Whether Senator Johnson will
go himself, or even allow his name
to be printed formally at the con-
vention is still undecided. Norbeck,
however, declares the South Dakota
delegation, pledged to Johnson, will
stand by its guns and vote for the
California senator.
Although Senator La Follette^
who has Wisconsin instructed for
him, is nominally a carj^lidate for
the Republican nomination, will not
go to Cleveland, according to his
friends.
Senator Borah, Idaho, classed as
an independent, frequently men-
tioned as the man who would place
Mr. Coolidge in nomination, has in-
dicated he has no intention of going
to Cleveland.
Others who will give Cleveland a
wide berth during the convention
are Senators Brookhart, Iowa; Cou-
::ens, Michigan; Ladd, and Frazier,
North Dakota. It is also understood
that Senator Norris, Nebraska, will
not attend the convention in any
capacity. Representative Harris,
progressive leader in the house,
likewise will shun it.

„ 216 MAIN STREET
Chicago, May 30.—Woodrow Wil-
son died for democracy’s fulfillment
as surely as if he had died at Chau-
teau Thierry, John R. Quinn, na-
tional commander of the American
Legion, declared in his annual. Me-
morial Day message, made public
yesterday.
“America pauses in her stride to
honor and revere the men who died
for our nation's destiny,” the mes-
sage said. “.It is the sixth Memorial
Day since the World war added
thousands of lives to that long list
of heroes whose blood is the mortar
of our country’s foundation.
“Every city, town and hamlet
in sending flowers to these graves.
The white crosses which march in
tragic alignment over hill and dale
in France arc almost hidden by
flowers. It is the day when we re-
call the men who died, their deeds,
and the ideals for which they gave
an unstinted all.
“At home the Civil war veterans
pay their annual tribute. The mem-
ory of their deeds remains with us
to cherish.
“The slouch hatter Spanish war
veterans gather to honor the men
who died in 1898, the heroes who
wrote ‘freedom from tyranny and
protection for the weak' on world
history with letters of scarlet.
“With these veterans of two great
conflicts foregather the khaki-clad
millions who fought the fight for
democracy. They fought, they be-
lieved, a war to end war. There was
to come a new peace on earth, good
will to all men. That ideal has not
yet been achieved, but on this day
of memories let us pray that it will
some day be realized that our dead
are not sacrificed in vain.
“Since last Memorial Day, Wood-
row Wilson has passed. Our war-
time president died for the cause he
so fervently believed in as surely as
if his pain-racked frame had been
hanging limply on the barbed wire
of Chauteau Thierry. He was our
comrade, our inspired leader, with
universal peace as his heart’s desire.
In him were crystallized the ideals
upon which this nation is founded,
the ideals for which veterans of
three wars today pay homage to
their dead. As we make the pil-
grimage' to the grave-strewn cem-
eteries let us remember his fearless
leadership, and his goal—perpetual
peace.
‘.‘And in remembering the ideals
for which he and our comrades lie
buried, let us pray that a way will
he found to end all wars for ever
re, so that no future generation
will mourn on Memorial Day for an-
other generation of youths offered
on the altar of sacrifice in another
SULPHUR LOSES

ed horns in a terrific pitchers bat-
tle yesterday afternoon and the
game went 11 innings before a 1 to
1 tie could be broken.

up in this frame and Umpire Law-
son benched him so as to cool off.
Peel opened the 11th for Texar-
kana with a single. Jolly flew out
to left field. Walker hit by sec-
ond, sending Peel to second. Har-
per walked. Peel to third, Walker to
second. Blair hit to Meanor, who

Fitting Tribute to Nation’s Dead
Asked by Neff.
Austin, Texas, May 30—Fitting
tribute to the nation’s dead today,
Memorial Day, was asked of the
people of Texas by Governor Neff.
“Memorial Day,” said the gover-
nor’s proclamation, “is a day of ten-
der memories, devoted to honoring
the noble patriots who have given
their lives for their country’s glory.
Within the decade this day
has been given a new and personal
significance.
"The World war has brought to
us a realization of the true meaning
of sacrifice. We have given the
loved ones from our family fire-
sides in the cause of freedom, that
not only this nation but the world
might be made safe for democracy.”

Hi
The junior high school quartet
and furnished music for the laymens’
banquet Thursday night and mors
than made good, as they always do.
On the going away of J, M.
Kitchens.
Whercus, the First day of June,
1924, marked the close of the ser-
vices of the Honorable J. M.
Kitchens, who was Chaplain of the
Sycamore club of Sulphur Springs,
Texas, for two consecutive years;
and whereas, he rendered the Syca-
more club faithful and exalted ser-
vice :
Therefore, as a testimonial of the
affection and esteem of the Syca-
more Club for their distinguished
Chuplain. be it resolved by the Syca-
more Club of Sulphur Springs,
Texas;
First: He was born in Texas, his
boyhood and youth covered the
most heroic and the saddest period in
the history of the Southland. The
experience gave him an unalterable
hatred of unfair privilege and op-
pression, as well as a passionate and
unquenchable love for the officers
and members of the Sycamore Club.
Second: Brother Kitchens is a
man of penetrating vision and sound
practical, upright judgment like that
of our forefathers, with a wide
symmpathy for his fellow members
and an exalted fidelity to duty like
that which immortalized men like
Lee, Jackson and others.
Third: The administration of
Brother Kitchens as Chaplain of our
club has been marked by much and
lasting good. However, when he was
once convinced that some reform
was needed in promotion of some
real or fancied good, he became its
enthusiastic champion.
With unflagging energy he caused
the criminal laws of the club to be
executed, not only in the club where
the laws were popular, hut through-
out the whole city, county, state and
nation. His example inspired the
officers and members of the Syca-
more Club to fidelity and fearless-
ness in the performance of their
duties.
He was ever mindful of the true
interest of every one who labors
and toils, recalling the time when he
labored with his own hands—which
has been years and years ago. The
cauw of labor, we regret to say, has
suffered a great sot back during his
tenure of office with us, he adopt-
ing early in his administration the
slogan: "Never Sweat.”
Fourth: We most earnestly sug-
gest and most respectfully request
that the Sycamore Club at Cooper.’
Texas, as well as we, designate by
proclamation some suitable day, pre-
ferably the first day of June, as
“Kitchens Day” or "The 'Day
Kitchens Went Away” and suggest
to the club at Cooper that the First
Day of June, each year, be so'recog-
nized and appropriately observed,
not that it be made a legal holiday,
but that the thoughts of your peo-
ple, and ours, the older, and especial-
ly the younger, may be impressed
with the great importance of pre-
serving the date of the landing of
the “Kitchen” in your city.
Fifth: We recommend and urge
upon you that you use all the force
and diligence that you may have at
your command, to have Brother
Kitchens locate on the lot and pre-
mises that he has purchased in yout
city. He has informed us that he
had located in the southeast portion
of your city, but to our utter sur-
prise and dismay, when we learned
the facta concerning his movements
and transactions there, he had locat-
ed in the northwest part of your
..V»»U"V»V J’"* * " At
city. Therefore, we would considof
it a very unfortunate affair, if our
Beloved Chaplain should so far for-
get himself and his whereabouts, as
to never know where he had domicil-
ed himself in your fair city. We
beg of you that you extend to him
the milk of human kindness, and
should he ever forsake the ways of
truth qnd human kindness to his
new neighbors and friends, and em-
bark upon the untrodden path of
mjLhere, please call our attention
to same In order that we may take
■nisei
would say further, that we
broken Brother Kitchens from chew-
prompt
d
action in the premises. Wi
say further, that we have
ing Black Bear tobacco. When he
came here from Yantls, Texas, he
was a constant user of that brand,
but now uses the kind that the fel-
low mombers furnish him. Ho
never raises any objections to the
kind offered him, anymore.
Sixth: That these resolutions be
recorded in the minutes ef the Syca-
more Club on pggoa reserved for
ous friends in this community that purpose and ; k *
anxious over her present illness. c“u$iei? and thit a Pcopy
be forwarded to the Sycamore Club
