f Parental Love f Makes Girl l An Exile lAnd Courts Put Daddy I in Jail and Break Mamma’s Heart.
'Bu Times Special KANSAS CITY, Kan., Dec. 25 Parental love, the sacrificing devotion that conies into its fullest flower at Christmas time, has defeated its own ends in a paradoxical drama here. Grace Angela Hall, 7-year-old principal in the court fight for her custody, did not receive even a Christmas message from her daddy or mother this year—just because they love her.

of us, but I’m going to stick It out. I’ll die here before I give her up.” .If the strange love endures fourteen years, Grace will be of age and may choose for herself between her parents. When., having been deprived of childhood’s greatest joys, and retaining only the faintest recollections of her mother and daddy, Grace will hear so* 1 the first time the story of her exile and the clash of the great loves.

Is in formation, it was learned today. Supporters contend an Indianapolis citizen Would be able to serve continuously and rna.ny Democrats wcjuld be in favor of paying a salary tothe chairman selected by the State committee. Frank P. Baker, city election board member, Is considered a strong possibility for State chairman and there is considerable talk of Arthur J. Hamrick, Crawfordsville, State committee member, and Eugene B. Crowe, Bedford, Third district chairman, who was given credit for rolling up substantial Democratic totals in that region. Meanwhile, another movement i under way among Democratic business men to nominate two prominent commercial leaders on the senatorial ticket. They are Evans Woollen, Fletcher Savings and Trust Company president, for the short term, and John E. Frederick, Kokomo, Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, president, for the long period. It is understood that Woollen is high in the graces of national leaders and is considered for future advancement in notional affairs if elected in Indiana. There are reports national heavy artillery will move toward Hooslerdom to bolster Woollen’s campaign next spring.
