HARDING TO FILL TWO VACANCIES ON SUPREME BENCH Bill to Retire Justice Pitney Will be Introduced When Congress Re assembles in November. W'ishineton. Nov. T. President Harding may not name a democrat to succeed Justice Day on the su preme court of the United States. This became known today when it was learned at the White House that the president expects to be called up on to name two new justices, in stead of one. Besides the vacancy created by the resignation of Justice Day to devote his time to the work of the war claims commission, it is practically assured that Justice Pit rev, will be retired because of ill health. A bill retiring Justice Pitney is to be introduced as poem as congress convenes, it is declared in authorita tive quarters. Congress will not hesi tate to pass the measure. Justice Pit ney having served mere than 10 years and being eligible for retire ment because of illness which pre vents him from serving. With two justices to appoint friends of the president declare that one will certainly be filled by a dem otrat. but the belief is growing that Justice Day's successor will be a re publican and that his name will be sent to congress as soon as it con venes in special session November 20.

ADVISED OF DEMANDS BY TURKEY PERMISSION MUST EE OBTAINED 5 BEFORE SENDING ITS WAR SHIPS THRU STRAITS. Washington. Nov. 7. The United States government has been officially informed of the demand of the Turk ish nationalist government that all warships passing thru Hi" straits ob tain the permission of the Turkish government. This insinuation was contained in a report from Rear Ad miral Uristol. American high com missioner at Constantinople, who also gave details of the coup d'etat in the Turkish capital by which the nation alists assumed control. At the Slate department it was said that no new instructions had been transmitted to Admiral Bristol concerning the movom- itis of Ameri can warships as a result of the Turk ish demands. It is ui. likely, it was stated, that any new instructions will be sent at this time, since the policy of this government with regard to its warships in Turkish waters is al ready covered by general instructions in the hands of the American ad miral. Await Emergency In reply to a question as to wheth er this government tuld be influ enced by the Turkish demand in case an emergency made it necessary to se nd more ships or to maneuver those there already, it was Mated that de cisiin would depend entirely upiu the seriousness of the emergency, and tlie tacts of the particular case. At the Navy department it was learned tonight that the United States destroyer MacFarland is now at Trebizond and a number of Amer ican warships are at Constantinople so that the United Statts is placed in the poition of disobeying the Turk ish demand for asking p rmissiin of the nationalists, in case it is desired to move these vessel. While administration officials de cline to comment in detail upon the near eastern situation, it is under stood that Admiral Uristol will co operate as far as possible with the al lied high commissioners in any action he takes regarding the movements of American warships. Uirier naval re gulations, the admiral has full power to use his own discretion about the use of warships in case of great emergency and this power extends even to the landing of marines or bluejackets in case it is necessary to protect American lives or property. Co-0perate With Allies All tlie- resources of American di plomacy will be utilized by the Unit ed States to prevent the Turks from training permanent control of the Dardanelles, it is declared. This gov ernment will co-operate with the al lies in every feasible way to check mate any attemtp of the Turks to al ter the international character of the Dardanelles. The- administration is not prepar ed, however, to employ military or naval forces of the- nation in support of the freedom of the Dardanelles, and if there is lighting to be done. tl;e alios wil have to do it. The administration feels that pub lih sentiment in the United States would not support a war. even for sudh a purpose and since Secretary of State Hughes is opposed to empty threats he will make no gesture which he cannot back up. Legal Notice We recently found abandoned a Dodge Brothers touring car which we brought to our garage in Union and are holding tlie same here for the coming and demand of the own e r. This car will be held for thirty days and if not then called for and I proved to be the property of the one demanding same, will be sold ac cording to law for the purpose of paying the storage, advertising and other expenses which may be incur red in its care and disposal.

Govern ment expenditures during the pres ent fiscal year will be $500,000,000 less than last year, Assistant Secre tary Clifford of the treasury declared tonight in an address here. "For this fiscal year, 12?,." he said, "we expect to run the government on less than $3,500,000,000, a reduction of $2,000,000,000 from the cost of gov ernment in 1921 and nearly $500, 000.0';o less than in the last fiscal year.

"DEPENDABLE SERVICE" Telephone No. 98 ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE WELCOMES THE ISSUE Columbus. O., Nov. C. James A. White, superintendent of the Ohio Anti-Saloon League, tonight issued the following statement: "Dry Ohio voters welcome the con test on the amendment to the state constitution permitting the sale cjf light wines and beer containing 2.75 per cent alcohol content, and are not afraid of the verdict. Under prohibi tion, the banks of Ohio now have more depositors and deposits than at any previous period. This is true of savings banks and national banks. The resources of the building and loan associations of the state are the greatest in history. This year, these financial institutions are helping to buy and build S0,0o0 homes. Much money formerly wasted for drink is now being spent on homes and home comforts. There are 20 per cent fewer prisoners in the county jails of Ohio now than when the state had saloons; 20 per cent fewer inmates in the county infirmaries, and 20 per cent fewer children in children's homes, and drunkenness has decreased more than 50 per cent.

CONDEMN PRAC TICE OF PLACING AGED IN ASYLUMS State Board Finds Over 150 There Who Are Not Insane Many Sent by Children. One hundred and fifty aged peo ple in the three state hospitals for. ine insane are not insane, accoruine to the opinion of the physicians who are at the heads of these institutions. says the State Journal. The patients j in question have been legally com mitted to state hospitals by county boards, though the superintendents of the institutions believe the pa tients to be merely senile. Many of the patients committed as insane are too old and feeble to do j violence if they were so disposed. I Many of them are regarded as harm i less old folks.

Some were committed to state hos pitals for the insane at tlie urgent request of their own children. Senile dementia, or a mild form of insan ity common in old age, consisting of decay of faculties, is what ails most of them. Members of the state board of con trol have been investigating this matter for some time. Tl.e board has received detailed reports from superintendents of the hospitals. Comments by members of the board upon the lack of filial love a disclosed by some of the cases re ported to the board are caustic in some instances. If the board can see its way clear it may direct su perintendents of hospitals to dis charge as many of tlie 150 senile patients as can be cared for at tlie homes of their children.
