KOKOMO CHIEF UPHOLDS MEN ONFSREHJRCE Firemen Not Drunkards or Gamblers, Asserts John Asby. B’l Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., May 14—Fire Chief John Ashby of this city unlimbered his talk line for the first time Saturday to defend himself and his men against the charges of drinking and gambling. The charges were incorporated in a mandamus complaint filed by Attorney O. C. Phillips in Howard County Circuit Court, to reinstate Charles E. Etchison, ousted fireman. “Kokomo firemen are just like firemen in every other city,” the chie* declared. “When they ain’t busy, they play a little cards or checkers. It might even be that there have been times that they took a little drink, although I couldn’t swear to it. “Sticks Up” for Men “Anyway, they are not a bunch of gamblers and drunkards, but as fine a set of fire fighters as you’ll find anywhere. “We got a lot of poker chips from the police. They took them in raids. So when times are dull and the brass all shined, we play with these chips. Not for money, you understand. Maybe sometimes a penny or two, or nickel a corner, just to make it interesting. Such games never ruined nobody. “As for me being drunk and playing cards with the mayor, you know I’ve got more respect for the mayor than that. He wouldn’t stand for it.” Among the assorted charges made by Etchison was that Asby and Mayor S. E. Spurgeon had played cards together when the chief was so drunk he scarcely could keep his seat. Calls it Blackmail “Its just a case of Etchison trying to blackmail his way back on the department,” the chief concluded. “Our city attorney says there will be nothing to it.” The plaintiff’s attorney feels differently. He declares that a recent grand jury failed to indict certain members of the fire department by a single vote. He says that the administration is honeycombed by booze and vice and kept in power by an alliance between the “underworld, political ministers, the Anti-Saloon League, and the W. C. T. U.” He expects to unearth evidence to this effect when the case is heard May 23. Tire mandamus suit is based on a State statute which Phillips says forbids firing a fireman without trial. Phillips denied that his recent defeat for the Indiana House of Representatives in the Republican primaries had anything to do with filing the suit.

Kidney Pains and Rheumatism Gone Farmer Is Able to Work Again After Years of Illness Trying to work a farm, while crippled and in constant pain for several years, was the hard task faced by Matt Reiland, Route 4, Stockton, 111. He tells of his recovery, in the following letter: “I suffered from kidney trouble and rheumatism, for several years. My back ached so I could hardly bend. My head ached, and the pains in my limbs were very severe. I was anemic, my blood was poor, and I was so weak and dizzy that my farm work was almost impossible. But today, life looks entirely different. My rheumatism is all gone and there are no kinks or pains in my back. My kidney trouble has disappeared and my sleep is not disturbed. lam eating hearty meals and feel fine in every way. It feels wonderful to have good, rich blood coursing through my veins.

THIS HAS HAPPENED NATHAN’-.., - \NN, struggling artist, is in love with ti t lv?,utitul VIRGINIA BREWSTER, daughter and heiress of a Wall Street financier. But NIEL’S model. CHIRI. is jealous of VIRGINIA and tells him that he will spoil his career if he marries a weallhv girl who cannot appreciate his art. He says that love will overcome obstacles and they are making happy plans until her father dies suddenly of heart failure and VIRGINIA is prostrated with grief. It is revealed that BREWSTER had lost his fortune in speculation. NIEL urges an immediate marriage but his pleading is interrupted bv FREDERICK DEAN, an old family friend, who persuades VIRGINIA to come and live with him and his daughter CLARISSA, who is ■ girlhood chum of hers. He wins her consent by saying that an immediate mai-iage would be disrespectful to her father's memory. NIB.J, is furious when VIRGINIA tells him aer decision, for he suspects DEAN'S motives, and does not like the shallow CEAHISSA. who has just announced her engagement to RUSSELL W UNGOULD. He takes VIRGINIA to her new home and returns unhappily to his neglected studio, where he finds CHIRI. who has cleaned his apartment and has hot coffee waiting for him. Fearing that CHIRI will become a nuisance, he repulses her and she leaves in a temper. Next day he goes with VIRGINIA for a farewell visit to her old home and she selects a few personal articles to keep—"for remembrance." They meet CLARISSA and her fiance.

CHAPTER VI CLARISSA had introduced her fiance to Virginia and turned to address a casual greeting to Nathaniel. Then she turned back to Virginia to explain that she had brought Russell with her against his will. She realized in an instant, however, that such an explanation would partake of the nature of an anti-climax in view of the fact that he seemed to have lost his reluctance. He was quite frankly putting himself on pleasant terms with Virginia. And, even if Virginia had felt his presence an intrusion at first, she didn’t mind it now, for when Russell Waingould wanted to be agreeable he could be very agreeable indeed. But it must have been something more than what was actually happening, something that Russell’s manner suggested, that brought the expression that so startled Nathaniel to Clarissa’s beautifully made-up features. Perhaps none but an artist would have caught the fleet unveiling, would have seen the stark nakedness of anger that bared itself for the tiniest fraction of a second in the hard blue eyes. But to Nathaniel’s keen sight it was full confirmation of his first estimate of this friend of Virginia’s. And Virginia, too fine to suspect the existence of dross in the people she cared for, was going to live under the same roof with this girl whose eyes could light with rage for nothing at all! The feeling he had been trying to shake off, the feeling that Virginia was walking into trouble, returned anew to Nathaniel on that look of Clarissa’s and he was more than ever conscious that he was making a mistake in not insisting that Virginia should marry him at once. But Clarissa’s next words convinced him that anything he should say against her attitude in the matter would ring hollow. She was urging Virginia most earnestly to come along right off, in time for luncheon. Nathaniel found it difficult to reconcile her apparent sincerity with what he believed she really felt. Virginia let herself be persuaded into hurrying her departure, but Nathaniel guessed it was to quiet; Clarissa’s clamor more than any- : thing else. When she had gone to her room to finish her packing there Clarissa | crossed the room and rang the servants’ bell. “We’ll see if we can’t scare up some cocktails,” she announced to Russell. , It was Mrs. Pike who answered the ring. . . “Good morning, Pike, Clarissa greeted the housekeeper; “can’t we have a shaker of cocktails while we wait for Miss Brewster?” “I’m sorry, miss; there’s no one left to prepare them.” “What? Have the servants gone?’ Well, never mind; we’ll do it ourselves. Come along, Russell; I hope we find the essentials.” Mrs. Pike led the way to the pantry, but Nathaniel remained where he was. For one reason, Clarissa had in no way included him in the invitation to accompany her, and for another, he wouldn’t have gone if she had. He hoped Virginia would not ioarn what her friends were doing. He fretted In fear they would not finish their ill-timed indulgence before Virginia reappeared, but presently they came back, complaining that it was a fizzle. “The butler or someone cleaned out the place,” Clarissa accused. She was about to give further voice to her disgust when Virginia joined them, carrying a traveling case. "Would you mind asking downstairs to have someone come up for these things?” she said to Clarissa. “I’ll be down in just a minute.” , , .

when he seemed uncertain whether to go with Clarissa and Russell. A few minutes later, when she and Nathaniel entered Clarissa’s car, Virginia felt like a person whose soul had been torn in twain. It seemed to her that a great part of herself had been left behind in those deserted rooms. The Deans were one of the few old-time families still living in a house on Fifth Ave. It was soon reached from the Brewster apartment. On the way Clarissa invited Nathaniel to stop for lunch, but as the spirit of hospitality was entirely lacking from her words he declined. At the door he said good-by to Virginia and promised to be at his telephone if she wanted him. “I think I’ll get to work and see if I can’t bring our castle in Spain a little nearer,” he told her, forcing himself to a cheerfulness that he was far from feeling. He looked behind her at the Deans’ front door and it seemed to him a barrier that had risen between them, mocking his plans. Mr. Dean was waiting to welcome the new member of his household, and there was no lack of warmth in his manner. He drew her close with his hands on her shoulders and brushed a nice kiss on her forehead. Clarissa, standing near by, allowed a queer smile to lift one corner of

Olaf, Feline Ace, Takes Flight on Duck’s Back By United Press OAKLAND, Cal., May 14.—Olaf, a black cat, has established a non-stop flight record for felines. Olaf became the Lindbergh of the cat kingdom when he soared through the air on the back of a duck from the old quarry pond from Dracena park, Piedmont, to the head of Artuna St., a distance of several blocks. The story, as hard as it is to give credence, is vouched for by several witnesses. Olaf, according to the story, walked to the water’s edge. A duck was swimming invitingly near. Hesitating not a moment, Olaf leaped on the back of the duck, evidently deciding to use the “seaplane” as a means of transportation for his record flight. The flutter of wings, the “quack, quack” of the frightened duck, and the “meow-ow” of Olaf attracted the gaze of passersby who, much to their astonishment, saw the duck and cat soar away. So loudly did Olaf screech that the course of the flight was followed by upturned faces. Olaf held on until the duck finally came to earth and then he scampered away, apparently none the worse lor his experience.

her mouth. She believed she was seeing things very clearly. “Don’t come down to lunch unless you care to,” she told Virginia on the way upstairs with her. “I’d rather not,” Virginia admitted. Clarissa saw her settled in her room and started to go but at the door she turned on a sudden impulse and remarked, seemingly apropos of nothing: “You know, Virginia, I’m dead in love with Russell.” Virginia regarded her in surprise. “Im sure you must be,” she said. “He’s really very nice, Clarissa.” “Yes, he’s attractive,” Clarissa agreed, “but, what might be more important, he’s also rich. As rich, I should say, as father, or he will be some day. Quite a catch if some one who needed to marry for money could manage to lure him away from me.” She paused and laughed. “But such a person would find her path strewn with many difficulties,” she added and laughed again, a laugh that bewildered Virginia because of its mirthlessness. “Why, Clarissa, you talk as though you weren’t sure of him.” “I’m not. No woman can ever be sure of any rich man while there are penniless women in the world,” Clarissa returned slowly.

Virginia shrank as from a physical blow. “Penniless women . . .” she murmured; “penniless women * “Exactly, my dear,” Clarissa said easily. Virginia looked at her squarely. “But I should think you would believe in Russell if only because he has money,” she said gravely. He doesn’t need to make a wealthy marriage. If you think all penniless people are also fortune hunters you might have reason to doubt him if he were poor.” “Yes, I have the satisfaction of knowing he isn’t after Dad’s money,” Clarissa acknowledged. “But to get back to the point, the fact that he will inherit a fortune only makes his latitude in the choice of a wife so much wider. He can afford to marry any one he wishes.” “And he has chosen you,” Virginia said softly. “With my help,” Clarissa appended frankly; “but that oughtn’t to be startling to you, Virginia.” “How do you mean?” Virginia asked, truly at a loss to understand her friend's remark. Clarissa eyed her silently for a moment, with the faintest hint of a sneer on her perfectly roughed lips. “O, well,” she shrugged, “if you prefer the ridiculous pretensions of our grandmothers. But in that case I should say you are hardly being true to your convictions.” “Clarissa, you are talking in riddles." “Really? Then tell me, is it consistent to pretend you still believe men do the choosing and yet act as much a ... modern as you have?” “Is it modern to grieve for a father? Is that what you mean?” “Well, I do think you haven’t allowed your grief to cloud your judgment, Virginia. That’s why I say you are a modern even if you do refuse the language.” • “I suppose you say that because T came here instead of marrying Nathaniel. You would understand, Clarissa, if you had lost a parent.” “Oh, of course, I know you were devoted, you and your father," Clarissa admitted grudgingly. “But you know mother's divorce took her away from me just as much as if she had died. At least I felt that way about it. But I can't recall It robbed me of my power to think for myself. “However ... It doesn’t matter. I’m glad you're here. Virginia, for reasons of my own which I promise to tell you some day.” “Then you really are sincere about It? I was beginning to wonder, Clarissa, If you were as pleased as you said.” “Nonsense, dear; you’re as welcome as Lindy. Only I'm glad we've had thus little talk. I'm sure we understand each other now.” She kissed Virginia and went out, leaving the latter to ponder over the “little talk.” “If it weren’t too utterly absurd I’d say she was warning me not to trespass with Russell,” Virginia told herself. “I wonder . . .” Further reflections were ended for the moment, however, by a rap on the door.

MELLON RATES HOOVER AT TOP IN G, O.P.RANKS Approval Seen to Represent Party Sentiment in Pennsylvania. BY LEO R. SACK Staff Correspondent, Scripps-Howard Newspapers PHILADELPHIA, May 14.—Secretary Mellon’s declaration that among all the candidates for the Republican nomination “Mr. Hoover seems to come closest to the standard that is set for this high office,” has received widespread approval from Pennsylvanians’ who were here for the joint meeting of the State committee and the national convention delegates. Indicative of this approval was the statement by Mrs. WorthingtonScranton, of Scranton, newly chosen national committeewoman. Finds State for Hoover “For months,” Mrs. Cranton, who is a delegate at large, “I have been making a survey of the sentiment of the women of the State, and have been telling W. L. Mellon, that the great major of them are in favor of Herbert Hoover. “Although we are to go uninstructed, the sentiment of the women at home will lead us to throw our support to the Secretary ol Commerce unless complications arise. As it now stands Hoover is the most representative Republ.can in the field, and I concur absolutely with Mr. Mellon in favor of his nomination.” Secretary Mellon’s admission tha he favors Hoover confirms an exclusive statement in ScrippsHoward newspapers in January. No Fight Made Friends His declaration is regarded here as a recognition of the State-wide sentiment for Hoover among Pennsylvanians. At the recent primaries. although he was not a candidate, more than 50,000 voters wrote in Hoover’s name. From the very beginning Hoover has been foremost in Pennsylvania considerations. Hoover’s friends have known this and preferred to wait rather than to launch a bitter fight which might have left sore spots.
