CHAPTER ONE V/f ARY DELLA CIIUBB was hardboiled. That is the right word. That, at any rate, is the right word for what Mary Della herself said she was. Hardboiled. She admitted it. She boasted of it. She even went so far on one occasion as to o^ r ' conclusive proof of it. But we will come to that later. The point here is that Mary Della chose to play the part and played it rather well until after that memorable night on the Cheshire road. And then it began to dawn on her that a girl could be modern and independent without being mascufene. Os course that experience was enough to change anyone. It might not have had the same effect on some other girl, to be sure. Miriam Bobbin, for example. But then, it wasn’t likely that any one would be parked out on a country road with a girl like Miriam. There wasn’t the incentive. To Miriam, “It” was a two letter word meaning something the right name of which you couldn’t think of at the moment. And things didn’t seem to sink so deeply with Miriam, showing that where there’s no sex appeal, there’s no sensation. But Mary Della! There was another matter.

Wife’s Love of Finery Reveals $20,000 in Loot Girl, 17, Sobs Denial of Knowing Mate Stole.

TEARFUL, a girl-wife sorted through the “pretties” which had meant so much to her, at police headquarters today. Declaring she had been ignorant of her young husband's lootings of apartments and residences which police say netted him more than $20,000 In loot since Jan. 1, Mrs. Tampa Lorraine Nicholas, 17, sobbed as she looked through a great mass of loot to find the few garments and pieces of jewelry she could claim as her own. Meanwhile, hostile looks came to her from a dozen other women, victims of apartment house burglaries, who eagerly searched for their own treasures in the pile of goods police say was stolen by the young woman’s husband, William Nicholas, alias William Lorraine, 24. of 3871 Broadway. The girl wife had been the means of betraying her husband's thefts, prlice say. With few pretty garments of her own. she had worn a stolen dress, and fate trapped her.

At tides valued at more than $20.t)0 were recovered from the rooms of the two couples. ana however, Is alleged -iN to have made a statement that Mr. and Mrs. Day knew nothing of his burglaries and did not know articles he gave them were stolen. His statement also absolves his wife of blame, police say, but she will be held for further questioning. Nicholas has sold many articles, police say. and he is alleged to have said he told his wife he had be|n given the various articles to sell on commission. ana THIRTY burglaries since the first of the year will be solved by the arrests, police declared today.

VOLUME 41—NUMBER 295

When Mary Della tripped through the street on her French heels, her ambitious little skirt striving vainly to reach from her green leather jacket to her knees, the boys holding down the sidewalk straightened their ties, flicked imaginary particles * from their sleeves and glanced knowingly at one another. That was the way Mary Della affected the male sex. Mary Della came down from the Chubb flat on Bank street one sharp January morning to be greeted by an unfamiliar noise that seemed to come from the hitherto silent throats of active newsboys scattered from Grand street to the Center. “Must be war,” thought Mary Della, pulling up the collar of her jacket. "Waterbury newsboys don't get excited over less.” She dug into a patent-leather contrivance that contained a little of everything ordinarily found in the five-and-ten, including a piece of fragile material that might have been a handkerchief, and extracted three pennies. A newsboy, in a flash of genius, interpreted this action as a sign of business and ran across the street. “Paper, Miss?” “You said it,” answered Mary Della. The boy grinned, pocketed the pennies and resumed the alarm: “RED MASK ASSAULTS COUPLE ON BROOKSIDE ROAD.” Big, black letters across the top of the page. And then: “Brutal Bandit Again Preying on Young Demon's Victims Now Number Twenty —Police Are Eaffled—Comb Section, Throw Out Dragnet and Pursue Investigation, But Promise Nothing." “And they call that news.” sniffed Mary Della. She turned east at the Center, opened the paper to the woman's page and read as she walked.

AS she entered North Elm street she was greeted by the unmistable voice of the irrepressible Miriam. “Isn’t it terrible, darling? Isn’t it simply awful? And the police cs-n’t do a thing. I was completely scared stiff that the girl you when T saw the headlines. You did go out last night, didn't you, honey? I just know you went out, and think what might of happened to you. Oh! ” “It says here,'* remarked Mary Della, without looking up. “that they’re going in for wide brims again this spring.” “Oh. don't try to change the subject, Mary Della. You were out last night. I know it. And with Joe Speaks. I'll bet. What in the world would you have done if ’’ Mary Della folded the paper and tucked it under her arm. “Why Joe,. Miriam? Don't you think I ever go out with anybody else?” Miriam scented a trap. “But it was Joe. wasn’t it? Poor child, if the Red Mask ever pounces on you two ” “Answer my question. Do you think Joe's got a mortgage on a:y spare time?" “Well, since you insist on my telling you, I do. And why not, honey? Joe's a nice boy as far as I know, though I don’t mind saying I couldn’t see Joe Speaks if I looked in his direction a thousand years.” “And since you ask for it,” Mary Della replied, “it’s no more than fair to tell you that Joe Speaks couldn’t see you if you were put in his eye. But ” she hesitated for emphasis—“if it’s any relief to you, I wasn't out with Joe or anybody else last night. I was home in bed.” They turned into the shop gate and began the climb to the fourth floor. “I believe you're putting on all this bravery, Mary Della,” Miriam said as they turned at the first landing. “But it won't be any joke when "There won't be any ‘when,’ ” Mary Della declared, "but when thete is. little Mary Della will be well protected. What, for Instance, do you think Joe'd be doing while (Turn to Pate 2)

LINDYS TOPPLE OLD MARK FOR SPANNING U.S. Hawk’s Time Is Bettered by Three Hours; Altitude Real Objective. By United Press NEW YORK, April 21.—Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh felt “very well” after her cross-country flight, according to her husband. She did not speak with reporters, but he insisted she had suffered no ill effects from the venture. Some who saw her felt, however, that she did not appear so w r ell as Lindbergh’s optimistic statement indicated. A local hospital where it had been rumored reservations were made for Mrs. Lindbergh this spring, denied knowing of any reservation. Bu United Pres* NEW YORK, April 21.—A new and brilliant air record was shared today by Colonel Charles A. Lindberg and the young wife he taught to fly a few months ago. Together, each helping the other to success, they safely ended the fastest trip ever made across the United States Sunday night when they brought their Lockheed Sirius monoplane down on Roosevelt field and learned they had beaten the existing cross-country record by almost three hours. The wheels of their powerful, stream-lined ship touched the ground at 11:11:52 p. m. (E. S. TANARUS.), exactly 14 hours 45 minutes 32 seconds after they had left Glendale, Cal., to explore anew transcontinental airway along the upper altitudes which Lindbergh believes will become the path of future, and speedier, transport service. . It was this object, rather than any desire to break the speed record of Captain Frank M. Hawks, that he had in mind from the start, and he was careful to point out that he had not eclipsed his fellow-flier’s achievement. Captain Hawks’ mark of 17 hours and 43 minutes was for nonstop flight. The Lindberghs said they might have taken that long, or longer, if they had not stopped once en route at Wichita, Kan., for additional gasoline so that they would not need to throttle their motor. Mrs. Lindbergh acted as navigator and relief pilot for her (Turn to Page 2)

BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, April 21.—Heads of the five delegations to the naval conference approved the treaty In its final form today and sent it to the printers. The text probably will be Issued to the press at midnight for release Tuesday when the delegates will meet at St. James’ palace to sign the five-power agreement achieved in negotiations here since Jan. 21. A compromise on global and categorical methods of limitation, known as the French transactional plan, was accepted but will not be included in the treaty. It will be sent to the league of nations preparatory disarmament committee. Divided Into Five Parts The so - called “safeguarding” clause of the three-power treaty, permitting increase in navies beyond the set limit in case of dangerous building by a rival power not subject to the treaty,’ was incorporated substantially as reported last week. The treaty was divided into five parts and a preamble. Part one concerns the modification of the Washington naval treaty, including a battleship holiday until 1936. Part two concerns all technical points in naval limitation methods in which all five powers have agreed. Effective Until 1936 Part three, is the three-power limitation treaty among the United States, Britain and Japan, effective until 1936. Part four, a single article consisting of the accepted rules for “humanization” of submarine warfare. Part five, is general, including specifications as to ■when the treaty is effective, duration of effectiveness and ratification. It was understood Article 24, referring to ratification and the time when the treaty becomes effective, specifiies the following: The entire treaty will be effective so far as the threepporersv r ers are concerned immediately after ratification by America, Britain and Japan. The entire treaty, less the threepower agreement, will be effective as it affects France and Italy immediately after those two countries ratify it. Stimson Admits Failure Bit United Press NEW YORK, April 21—The London naval conference was described as a mixture of success and failure by Secretary of State Stimson, chief American delegate, in a NBC radio address from London at the luncheon of the Associated Press today. Despite the lack of success in some directions, the achievement at London promises to become the basis for final and complete solution of the problems of sea armaments, Stimson said. Stimson said the relationship of the navies of the United States, Great Britain and Japan was solved in the three-power agreement. The problem involving the relationships between the navies of Great Britain. France and Italy, the conference failed to solve, Stimson admitted.

CONTEMPT CASE CURB IS URGED Holmes for Barring Judges in Own Citations. Legislation to forbid judges, making charges of contempt, from sitting in judgment on their own cases, was urged today by State Senator C. Oliver Holmes (Rep., Gary) in a letter to Attorney-General James M. Ogden. In the letter Holmes urged that Ogden take the matter up with Ogden’s subcommittee on trial and commitment of prisoners, which is to meet Friday at the Columbia Club. The subcommittee is scheduled to report with further recommendations to the general crime conference committee meeting to be held at the statehouse Saturday. Holmes, a member of the crime conference, will urge that body to back the proposal, with or without subcommittee recommendations, it was said. A bill along this line has been prepared for the next legislature by Sigma Delta Phi, newspaper fraternity. The Holmes letter also asked subcommittee backing for the fivesixths jury decision in criminal cases and making jurymen be free holders of five years standing and without any record of law violations. It criticised a former subcommittee report in regard to decreasing the suspended sentence and abolishing the introduction of evidence from psychiatrists. These moves would be a step backward, his letter stated.

Entered as Second-Class Matter at Postoffice, Indianapolis

Bu United Press Hollywood, April 21.—Fiorenz Ziegfeld, stage impressario and noted connoisseur of feminine beauty, selects the wellmolded nose as the most important prerequisite to beautiful features. “A good nose,” he said in an interview here today, ‘is the most important feature a girl can have. She must also have beautiful eyes, hair, complexion and figure, of course, but the nose comes first. “The chin is another important factor but it is secondary to the nose. Probably it is because the nose and chin are the first things we look at in judging a person’s face.” Ziegfeld declared that no age limit can be placed on beauty. “Some women remain beautiful longer than others.” he explained. “Some grow beautiful in a different way as they become older. Generally for our type of show, a girl Is most beautiful under 25.” “The American girl glorifier” picked Hazel Forbes and Gladys Glad as the loveliest women he has ever seen. Both are blondes.

SENATE GROUP VOTES TO BAN JUDGE PARKER Judiciary Committee Will Report Unfavorably on Hoover Choice. REJECTION IS INDICATED Interview With Nominee 00 Unfon Labor and Negro Protests Is Denied. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, April 21.—With a surprising overturn of sentiment at the last moment, the senate Judiciary committee voted today to report unfavorably to the senate the nomination of John J. Parker of North Carolina to be associate justice df the United States supreme court. The vote was 10 to 6 and Indicated the senate would reject President Hoover's nominee. Six of the ten Republicans on the committee refused to indorse the administration nominee on the final roll call which follows: For Parker (6) Republicans <4)—Gillette, Massachusetts: Waterman. Colorado; Hastings, Delaware, and Hebert, Rhode Island. Democrats (2)—Overman, North Carolina, and Stephens. Mississippi. Against Parker (10) Republicans (6)—Borah. Idaho; Deneen. Illinois: Robinson, Indiana; Blaine, Wisconsin: Norris, Nebraska, and Steiwer, Oregon. Democrats (4) —Ashurst, Arizona; Walsh, Montana; Caraway, Arkansas, and Dill, Washington. Prior to the* vote on the nomination itself the committee rejected the idea of Republican leaders to call Parker here tori' a statement concerning the charges which have been lodged against him by union labor and Negro organizations. Executive Session Held A motion madtf by Senator Overman ( Dem., S. C.) to invite the nominee, was rejected, 10 to 4. The votes were taken in executive session after only thirty minutes’ discussion. When the committee entered its rooms the lineup indicated Parker would be called. It is understood President Hoover favored such a course, which also had been recommended privately to senate Republican leaders by Attorney-General Mitchell. Backers ot Parker believe that If he is invited the nominee could make a statement pacifying the opposition which had arisen among the farm and labor groups over the decision he indorsed as member of the circuit court of appeals of the Fourth circuit in the Red Jacket Coal Company case. Hoover Firm on Stand Parkers’ backers thought he also could dispel the far more alarming opposition from a political standpoint, which arose among Republican senators from border states, who have been receiving protests from Negro voters about speeches Parker made in a gubernatorial campaign in North Carolina before he was appointed judge. It was these Republican senators who have been going to the White House during the past two weeks attempting to persuade the President to withdraw the nomination. This Mr. Hoover steadfastly refused to do. taking the position it was a matter for the senate to fight out. Tire leaders of the opposition to the nominee. Chairman Norris of the committee and Senator Borah (Rep., Ida.), opposed the calling of Parker. They said the case already had been heard fully and believed there was no reason other than one of political expediency for reopening it to hear the nominee. The sizeable majority against the nominee in the committee virtually makes certain his ultimate rejection in the senate where the opposition controls more votes comparatively than it did in the committee.
