I on Tragedy in Doctor’s
f Office.
LOUISVILLE, Jan. 2. —The scene in the
tragedy of Elizibeth Griffith, who was
found shot to death in the office of her
employer, Dr. Christopher Schott, shifted
today from police court to the coroner’s
office, where a jury met to attempt an
answer to the two puzzles which agitate
Louisville:
Was Elizabeth Griffith murdered or did
she shoot herself.
If she was murdered was Dr. Schott
the murderer, as charged.
Lurene Gardner, 13, is to play the
leading part in today’s act. It is on her
testimony that Schott bases his defense,
saying she was with him throughout
the afternoon when Miss Griffith was
killed.
W. J. Ryan testified that Schott was
at his office at the time, the doctor says
he was delivering Christmas gifts in
another part of the city.

Girl, 14 Years Old,
Becomes Composer
PITTSBURG, Kas., Jan. 2. —Vivian
Bowker, it is believed, has strong claims
for the title of being Kansas’ youngest
composer.
At the age of 14 this Kansas miss has
composed the music for "Why Don’t You
Make Me Happy?” which has just been
published and placed on sale.
The words are the work of Cecil Tay
lor. a local song writer.
The Basement Store is the one place where a man can buy medium priced clothes
with the utmost confidence.
It’s a place where a man can be certain of obtaining reliable clothes and getting
the best possible return for his money.
Superior value giving is second nature with The Basement Store—that is the
basis of its activities—the foundation of its success.
When a store that achieves fame for value giving concentrates its strength on
two groups—you can depend on values that are far and away the best obtainable.

and that instead of America being alone
against Europe it would %>e England
and the United States side by side.
“I sincerely trust that the United
States will eventually join the league of
nations. There may be certain clauses
that may have to be modified or changed
to a certain extent. But I am firmly of
the belief that these changes—eveq If
insisted upon—will be minor in char
acter and that America will join Eng
land in making the world, in the words
of President Wilson, ‘safe for de
mocracy.’
"The reservations—or at least many of
them —insisted upon by the United States
senate In the league of nations are al
ready in the covenant. A great many
Americans are talking as if it were a
fact that the league of nations wonld
have the right to order out the army at
any time If things did not carry on as
the league wanted. This is not so
Action could only be taken by the league
of nations on vote, and then only by
united action.”

tions prepared at once so they will be
ready when the enumerator calls.
“The enumeration of the population
during a census of the United States al
ways presents numerous difficulties,
among them the apprehension on the part
of the people, particularly those of for
eign birth or extraction, that their
answers to the enumerators' questions
will cause increased taxation, legal en
tanglements, or other consequences in
jurious to their welfare,” said Sam L.
Rogers, director of the census at Wash
ington.
“In order to quiet such unfounded
fears and at the same time acquaint all
persons with the main questions in
cluded in the census schedules this state
ment has been prepared.
“It is, therefore, earnestly hoped that
clergymen, editors, school teachers, em
ployers, agricultural agents and other
public spirited citizens who come in con
tact with large numbers of people will
grasp every opportunity to correct any
erroneous opinions about tbe census
■which they may hear.
"It is no less earnestly hoped thnt all
public spirited citizens will aid the gov
ernment In the gigantic task of taking
the 1920 census by Impressing people with
the great importance of the census and
to urge them to prepare for the coming
of the enumerators so that correct and
complete answers may be given.”
All Information gathered by the enu
merators is str'ctly confidential and can
not be made the basis of taxation in any
■form. It, likewise, has nothing whatever
to do with detection, arrest, prosecution
or punishment of any person for any
violation of any law.
All enumerators carry Identification
cards as well as written commissions.
In cases where citizens are suspicious of
imposters identification cards should be
demanded. Federal prosecution will be
started against all imposters.
It is a federal offense to fail or refuse
to furnish information asked by a census
enumerator or to assist him or her to
gather necessary data,
