SIIO'I' A'l' WHILE
IN HIS AUTO
IN MAIN ST.

Bullet Breaks Glass in
Douglas Fallon’s Car
—-- Shooter Not Lo-
cated

Douglas Fallon. of 21 Franklin
street. is wondering today if some-
body has a. grudge against him.
Fallon was riding in his automobile
up Main street at 1:50 o'clock this
morning when he heard the report
of shot. An instant later. the glass
in the sidedoor of.hls automobile
shattered with a. crash. A bullet
had gone through the window.

Fallon turned around and dashed
to the uptown police headquarters
and made a. report to the police.
Patrolman Clune made a. hurried in-
vestigation, but. could not find any-
one who might. have fired the shot.
He did ascertain however. that scv-
oral fellows who were riding in an
automobile behind Fallon's car had
heard the shot:

\Vhile at police headquarters. Fal-
lon explained that he was not driv-
ing the car himself as he had lost
his operator's license and had sent
for a. duplicate. He told the police
the machine was under the guidance
of Isadore Sacwitz. of 264 South
Street. Stamford.

It cost Emil Scbncider. of 8 Not.

glasses of wine at his home last
night. After drinking tho wine.
Schneider thought it was s beauti-
ful night for a. ride so he got. the
old automobile out of the garage
and started. "

For an hour things went swimming
for Schneider. The breezes proved
refreshing. It was getting late and
he started for home. Invvml street.
the complexion of the situation
changed considerably. Schneider
went to drive by the safety zone and
he knocked down a lantern. Then
he passed to the left of the police
standard at Main and Wall streets.

This entirely spoiled his enjoyable
evening for he was hailed by Patrol-
man Sweeney and taken to the lip--
town police headquagtsrs. Hero is
was booked charged ‘ with reckle-
driving: driving while intoxicated
and being intoxicated.

Aftbr Patrolman Sweeney and Dr.
Samuel 11. Huntington had testified
to Schneider's condition. the ac-
cused told the court he only drank
thrcc glasses of wine while at home.

This explanation failed to soften
the court and Judge Candeo found
the accused guilty of all three counts.
On the charge of toxicatlon. he
imposed a. line of 8 : for reckless

SAYS MONDELL

Permanent Chairman
Declares Coolidge
Justifies Confidence
T h a t “Inspired”

(By AssOclotcd Press)
CLEVELAND. June 11.—Presi-
dent Coolidge bu Justified ,the con-
fidence that "inspired" his nomina-
tion for vice president at Chicago.
and the greater confidence reposed
in him since taking up the duties of
Chief Executive is the “outstanding
fact" in the political situation.
Frank W. Mondell. of Wyoming. _de-
clued today in his address as per-
manent chairman. of .the Republican
National Convention. ' .

Mr. Mondell added an appeal for
Republican majorities in Congress
"in me and in principle." stylus
that every serious fault. of recent
legislation woul have. been avoided
had the Presld at bed that strength
in House and Senate.

The c rman assailed the Dem-
ocrats to their "utter lack of fixed
and definito principle or policy. are
that. of much-skins and obstruc-
tion." Referring to the situation in
the last Congress. when Insurgents
joined with Democrats to control
legislation. Mr. Mondell acid that
never before had the' mcesdty for
dependable party majority and dad-
nito party responsibility been so
clearly demonstrated.

The text of Mr.'_Mondoll'l address
follows: 2!:

“Ladies and gentlemen of the
convention: -
“We-arc met. as the "presents.
tivu of a great political party that

solutions Committee was called

1*“

(By Associated Press)
CLEVELAND. Juno 11.~The Re-
to
meet at. 10 A. M. to receive the draft-
ing committee's report but it was
not ccrtain that the tentative draft
would be ready at that hour. since
it had been decided to confer with
President Coolidge by telephone
again today on the ‘World Court
plank. and. perhaps several others.

The committee wanted the Pre-
sident's views on th. power the
World Court should have. to enforce
its decisions. The platform draft.
it was said is about six thousand
words in length.

Prohibition Not Mentioned.

Prohibition. it is understood. is
not specifically mentioned although
law enforcement forms the is of
one plank. The only plank which
might be interpreted as referring to
the Ku Klux Klan is described as a
declaration rig—affirming the party's
devotion to the constitution and its
guarantees of religious. civil‘ and
political liberties.

The oil lnqulrys are dealt with
under the head of "orderly govern-
ment." and men of “both parties"
are assailed fondishonesty and cor-
ruption. the existence of which the
party condemns and deplorcs.

Investigations have shown. it is
declared. a willingness on the part
of men both in and out of office to
traffic in official favors. Office hold-
ers have shown a. willingness to sell
and persons outside of ofllce a will-
ingness to buy with money and lb;
i‘luence. says the “orderly govern-
ment" plank. and-this must be
stopped by prosecutions. as the ad-
ministration is now trying to do.
On agriculture_ which was one of
the most troublesome questions in
the sub-committee session. it was
agreed to pledge an effort to restore
an equitable balance between ag-
riculture prices and industrial com~
modify levels. There is "A reference
to the McNary-Hnugen bill. spon-
sored in the recent session of Con-
gress by Secretary Wallace and the
insurgent group. The plank also ex-
presses strongapproval of the flex-
ible riff provisions of the present
law; nd another embodies o. plea
for party regularity in Congress and
the state legislatures.

0. K. Imitation Policy.

The immigration policy defined in
the new quota. Iowa is strongly re-
commended. but no mention is made
of Japanese exclusion.

One plank is devoted to praise of
President Coolidge and in another
further tax reduction is demanded.
and a tax revision—commission to
formulate a. scientific policy. No
suggestion is made of rates of fur-
ther reduction or how they should
be brought about.

A declaration do Philippine indo-
pendenoo sets forth that to relin-
quish American control of tho isl-
ands would be against the welfare
of both the territory and the nation.
No mention was made of the soldier
bonus. ‘ .

tec would be requested to act on
the platform early enough today to
permit submission‘ to the convention
before adjournment of today's ses-
sion.

The "ordcrly government" plank
takes up about 300 words. It
makesno specific reference to the
oil or other recent government in-
vcstigations, but includes in sub~
stance these assertions:

The party reaffirms its devotion
to orderly government and insists
that persons who degrade the pub.
lic service. both in and out of of-
fice. should be prosecuted.

The sale of official influence
should be condemned by the people
and prohibited by law.

Wrong doers should go prosecuted
without regard to their political sf-
filiations. . '

Tho majjority of government em-
ployes are honest and faithful to
their trust, and it is a grave wrong
to "strive indiscriminately to be-
smirch their names. especially for
partisan purposes.

The Republican administration
already is in charge of prosecution
of the cases of official dcrelection
and will continue the work of “dis:
covery and punishment" but. will
not confuse the innocent with the
guilty nor prosecute for partisan
advantage. ‘

This plank apparently had been
practically agreed upon before the
sub-committee went into session. for
no loud discussion followed its pre-
sentation. '

Mild Klan Plank.

Such was not the case when the
Klan and agriculture planks were
reached. Shouts and arguments
which could be heard plainly in
the hall outside the committee room
ensued.

Senator Norbeck. ‘of South Dako-
ta. did not. mince words in discuss-
ing the condition of the farmer and
the possible effect it might have on
the Republican party if a. strong
agricultural plank were not. written.
Although not a. member of the sub-
committee. he was called in and
came armed with charts and fig-
hres. He told the platform drafters
plainly that the party was being
blamed for the high costi of living
and the low cost of farm products.
Since the Northwest was not to be
represented on the ticket. he is un-
derstood to have argued. it should
be expressed in the platform.

Controversy about the Klan plank
resolved itself into a. discussion of
whether anything should be sold.
Representative Mills of New York
urgedgadoption of the plank mf-
firming the constitutional guaran-
tees of liberties which finally" was
incorporated but others opposed it.

A vigorous denouncement of the
Klan was voted down.

Senator Goodin of Idaho spoke
for more than two hours before the
sub-committee when agricultural
plank was under consideration. urg-
ing a definitp program not unlike
that. outlined in thc,Mchry-Haugen
bill. ‘.

.Tbe declaration tentatively accep-
ted was understood ' numbers of
the sub-committee have _ been
viewed by Senator Goodin u unat-
isfsctory to' at least two senators,
from Northwestern states.
