nun mr BY /AABEL Airis McELLIOTT M c met gy m smta we CHAPTER ONE “CLvSAN CAREY!” The prirl looked up to sec the brown eyes of the short- ! hand teacher fastened on her. ‘Two words wrong today. How ever am T going to teach you how to spell ‘believe’ and ‘necessary’ ?” Miss Allen's tone was superior and rutting, Susan thought. The girl flushed to the roots of her hair. Oh, how she hated this business of learning to be a stenographer! She never would learn really, she felt certain of that. It was humiliating beyond belief to be haled up before the desk this way, to be reprimanded. True, there were only three other students within hearing range. The rest sat huddled around their tables, four to a group, struggling with n-hooks and vowel positions and whatnots. Horrible, horrible, invention, shorthand! Susan said in a voire she felt to be rravrn and faltering, "I’m sorry, Miss Allen." The poper was shoved across the '■ desk to her and she accepted it, returning to her table with hot cheeks j and eyes downcast. Helen Marshall, her nearest neighbor, whispered softly, "Don't mind her, the old cat. She loves to get a rise from any one. Susan accepted the sympathy with a faint smile and the endless morning droned on. It was May and a vagrant breeze drifted through the big windows of the Block Shorthand school on the eighteenth floor of the towering new office building on Michigan avenue. It was a breeze from the lake that seemed to say, "Come and sail with me.” Susan thought of Aunt Jessie at home, waiting for her to finish her shorthand course and start “bringing something in.” Susan winced at the thought of Aunt Jessie staring angrily through her spectacles on hearing that Susan "couldn’t seem to catch on” to this r and n-hook business. Aunt Jessie was "awfully strict. She had been raised in an old- j fashioned school and believed all the old mixims, "Spare the rod and spoil the child” was one of her favorites. Also, “Beauty is only skin deep,” and "Handsome is as handsome does.” Aunt Jessie W'anted Susan to be "a nice, mild girl.” She didn’t want her to use lipstick or rouge and she grumbled even about powder. She had been known to say two years before that she’d rather see Susan j dead at her feet than with makeup j on her face. . it n n ALL this was rather hard on Su- ; san, who was 19, dark and handsome in a tragic way, rather after the manner of Joan Crawford’s, in their depth and size. The girl’s face had the strong, rlear-cut, yet utterly feminine contour of the motion picture star’s. Susan's figure was lovely, too-rslim and nicely curved in the right places. Although how any one could be expected to look attractive in | Cousin Rue's season-before-last blue j serge suit Susan didn’t know. The girl tried to be optimistic, but sometimes, when she went to movies and saw the adorable gowns the film stars wore she came home feeling cheated. She never could, never hope to wear anything but a $9.95 frock from Weegman’s basement. Aunt Jessie thought there was no place like Weegman’s basement. Susan looked up from her reverieto find the handsome boy at the next table gazing at her. Odd for that good-looking, superior chap to be attending business school! He was "Mister Dunbar” to the class and Helen had whispered the day before that he had been at Harvard, had been dropped, and that his father was making him y"go in for business in a big way.” i "The Dunbar Wheel Works,” Helen had explained, important because she knew. And Susan had glanced again at the husky, tall young man with interest. It wasn’t often she had the opportunity to see such a youth at close range. All the boys who grew up in Aunt Jessie's neighborhood were learning to be plumbers or driving laundry wagons or doing something equally exciting. Young Mr. Dunbar seemed a prince from a strange land. Susan liked to listen to the rumble of his deep voice'when he read his notes back to the dapper Miss Allen. It seemed faintly ridiculous that a young man who had attended junior proms, who had played football, and made the college crew should be translating. "Your letter of the ninth instant received and contents noted” to a shorthand teacher. Susan squeezed the tears back and pretended not to know that Robert Dunbar was staring at her. Just the same, his interest made the girl’s heart unaccountably lighter, i (Turn to Page 13) LAUD OLD AGE PENSIONS State Officials Report Laws Have Proved Boon in Depression.

TWO FAMILIES CLAIM MURDER VICTIM’S BODY Father Identifies Slain Man as Son, Woman as Her Husband. SEE REVENGE MOTIVE Hidden Scandal Link Hinted i Between Contenders for Corpse. By United Press EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 30. Two families battled today for the mutilated body of a murdered man who figured In one of two mysterious slayings in this vicinity Tuesday. As police delved into the brutal killing, they read a point of honor into one of the family’s claims. Meanwhile, police said evidence tended to show there was no connection between the murders. One of the slain men has been identified definitely as Alfred Butts, 32, Henderson city employe. His body was found on the highway near Henderson. The other victim, battered beyond recognition, was found near Mt. Vernon. George Claiborne, Evansville, went to Mt. Vernon and identified the body as that of his son Bruce, 27. Mrs. Claiborne then viewed the body and denied that it was their son. Later she told police that the face was distorted so badly she could no be sure that it was her son. Identified as Husband Mrs. Albert Johnson, also of Evansville, identified the body as her husband, who was 32. Both George Claibourne and Mrs. Johnson became insistent in their identifications. Police declined to accept either identification and tentatively continued a search for Bruce Claiborne. They offered no comment on a report that Johnson and Claiborne had quarreled over Johnson’s wife. Mrs. Johnson, however, said she never had seen Claiborne. One theory advanced was that Mr. and Mrs. Claiborne were aware of a dispute between their son and Johnson and hoped to cast a shadow over their affair by identifying the body as their son. Find Death Car Police again questioned Herman German, 23, today. His auto, which he reported stolen, was found near here, spattered with blood. It was believed that the victim was slain in this machine. In it was a shoe that matched one found on one of the victim's feet. German told police that he often loaned his auto to Claiborne, and that occasionally Claiborne took it without telling German. Police reported they found a recently drawn $2,000 insurance policy in the Johnson home, taken out by Johnson in favor of his wife. It was learned that Butts drew his pay Monday at Henderson, quit his job with the street cleaning department and said he was going to Spottsville, Ky., where he had "a better job.” He had been seen once since that, police learned. Cigaret Placed in Hand Investigation revealed that a box of matches and a cigaret found in his hands were placed there after he was slain, police reported. They also revealed that two bottles of whisky were found in his pockets. A small amount was gone from each bottle, but an examination revealed no alcohol in his organs. As the investigation progressed, authorities said, circumstances tended to show that there was no connection between the murders. GIRL BANDIT’S FATE IS LEFT UNDECIDED Juvenile Judge Defers Ruling Until Hospital Tests Are Made. Ruling on the case of Miss Vera Wood, 17, Shorfridge high school girl and confessed toy gun bandit, was delayed today until next week by Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler. Geckler was informed that Miss Wood has been detained at city hospital contagious ward where further tests will be made to determine her physical condition. Geckler indicated Tuesday he will place the girl on probation for one year, prohibiting her from smoking cigarets and placing her in custody of her parents.

THREE DIE TO ERASE STAIN OF SON’S SIN Motive for Triple Suicide Bared in Missionary’s Family Tragedy. GIRL FILES CHARGES Trio Follows Custom of Orient to Atone for Youth’s Misdeed. | By United Press CHICAGO, March 30.—The disgrace brought on the name of a Quaker family by a serious charge against its son was blamed today : for the suicide of Horace E. Coleman, 64, a missionary; his wife, and Horace E. Coleman Jr., 21. The son was accused of seduction, in a warrant issued four days before the suicides, on an affidavit by Miss Clara B. McGill, 20, of Bloomingdale, Ind., where the Colemans were prominent. The warrant was in the hands of Chicago police, ready for service, when the Colemans were found with clasped hands in the rear seat of their automobile. The machine was in a garage with closed doors. They had been killed by carbon monoxide from the exhaust. A note by the elder Coleman gave directions for cremation, with ashes to be scattered in Japan. Death Due to Teachings Philosophies which they absorbed i while missionaries in the Orient Jed | the trio to their death, investigai tion revealed. They deemed it their duty to atone by death for the wrongdoing of one of them, a note left ending with the statement, "This way accords with our peculiar ideas in cases where conditions warrant it.” Dr. William M. McGovern of Northwestern university, an old ; friend of the Colemans, who strove to promulgate the Quaker faith in Japan, explained the philosophy which led to their deaths thus: "In the long years of missionary | work in Japan the Colemans bei came imbued with Japanese philosophy. which, in a multitude of circumstances, makes suicide a praiseworthy act. Sometimes the motive is utterly obscure. Converted to "Bushido" “No one can say precisely how the Colemans justified their act, but we can take as a similar example that of the Japanese family j servant who killed himself because the son of the family had been ‘wild.’ The servant thought his i suicide would restore the family honor.” Dr. McGovern said the Colemans had been missionaries in the land of the rising sun for a quarter of a century; that they unknowingly had become converts to the philosophy of "bushido,” wherein the knights of ancient Japan put an end to their existence as a more beautiful manner in which to die i than to submit to the ravages of circumstance. The philosophy holds that, the sooner one dies, the sooner he gains the “better life.” With such an oriental background, s 1 the inquest was prosaic. The ver- j diet simply was “suicide.” Miss McGill remained in Bloom- | i ington, old home of the Colemans. | ! She said Horace had promised to marry her, then changed his mind to attend the University of Chicago. 1 When she learned she was an cx- | pectant mother, she continued, she signed a warrant against him.

BACON RIND IS LAID TO REST Grave Opens Happy Hunting Ground to Wealthy Chief of Osage Tribe. By United Press PAWHUSKA. Okla., March 30. The white man’s funeral rites and Osage Indian ceremonials honored Bacon Rind, haughty chieftain of the Osages today as he was carried to his grave upon a hilltop overlooking Indian village here. Bacon Rind, wealthy and influential leader of his tribe, died Monday after a long illness, but a week before his death, he outlined the funeral plans. In the first gray light of dawn, an Osage medicine man entered the chieftain’s modern home. He applied the paint of an Osage warrior to the bronze face of the tribal patriarch—but he did not disturb the gold locket, inclosing a picture of the late President Harding which hung at Bacon Rind's throat. At 10 there came a break in the Indian ritual. The chanting mourners ceased their dirge and the old chief's body was carried to the church of the Immaculate Conception, where the brief requiem mass was said. At noon, Bacon Rind's body was lowered into the grave. In Indian belief, the portals of the happy hunting ground are open when the sun is at its zenith. In accord with his wish, the mourners returned to his home for a day and night of feasting and of “give-away" ceremonies.

Jim, Jam, Gem By United Press WASHINGTON, March 30. —The memory of James G. Blaine caused Senator James E. Watson (Rep., Ind.) and Senator George A. Norris (Rep., Neb.) to drop their political warfare long enough to shake hands on the senate floor. The regular and progressive leaders were discussing the tariff, and had gone back to Blaine’s stand for reciprocity. “When Blaine was defeated for the presidency, I thought the end of the republic had come,” said Watson. “I felt that way myself,” exclaimed Norris. The debate paused while they clasped hands, only to dispute immediately because Norris complained Watson had deserted Blaine’s principles. “I follow the living; the senator from Nebraska follows the dead,” Watson said.

Just the Man! Boy Scout Mayor Evasive Enough to Succeed, Says Sullivan.

INDIANAPOLIS’ Boy Scout mayor, Fred Lorenz, 17, of 3423 Salem street, who "ruled the roost” an hour today, ought to make a successful public official, opined Mayo* Reginald H. Sullivan. The Scout was due on the job at 11. He walked into the office five minutes late. At ten minutes after 11, the tall, young Scout was ushered into the mayor’s private office, where Sullivan greeted him. Sullivan placed him in the official chair and stood by the window. “Pose with him, won’t you Mayor?” asked a photographer. "Give him some advice.” “Advice?” grinned Sullivan. "He doesn’t need advice.” “I think he does,” said the photographer. “He was five minutes late.” “That’s not late.” said Sullivan. “After a while he’d be late purposely all the time." n n u THE Scout mayor looked a bit confused. The newspaper men decided to help him out. “What do you think about the tow-in law?” asked one. The . Scout mayor thought ’ J deeply. "I don’t know,” he said finally. "What do you think about the traffic situation as a whole?” He thought again. “I don’t know,” he said. “How about fixing up a sticker for me?” The “mayor” looked at the | mayor. “I don’t know,” said “Mayor” Fred caustiously. “Always say ‘No,’ ” advised Mayor Sullivan. “Have you any orders for the secretary?” asked a news hound. “I don’t know,” said Mayor Fred. “You’re not apt to throw out the newspaper men are you?” The Scout mayor brightened up. “Well,” he said loquaciously, “I might, at that.” GOLD WAVE COMING Near Freezing Temperature Forecast for Thursday.

RECTOR TRIAL STIRS LONDON 60-Year-old Pastor Fights in High Clerical Court to Disprove Rake Charge. By United Press LONDON. March 30.—The Rev. Harold F. Davidson, rector of Stiffkey. Norfolk, fought before a high clerical court today to prove that he is not a clerical rake with a long list of illicit sweethearts, but a true ; churchman interested in saving girls from immorality. The case has aroused tremendous public interest, the newspapers devoting several pages to the testimony. Even the conservative London Times printed five columns of it. Ecclesiastical dignitaries today solemnly set forth that the 60-year-old cleric had a. right to rescue maidens from a life of sin, but that in the process he should not have: “Systematically misbehaved himself— “ Kissed and hugged Barbara Harris in a Chinese restaurant in Bloomsbury— Detail List of Love Affairs Permitted 17-year-old Barbara Harris to sleep in his room—- “ Been guilty of improper conduct with Rose Ellis, 30, over a period of ten years—- " Paid room rent for a dozen girls. "Been barred from two London restaurants for accosting wait;resses— "Embraced Betty Beach, an actress, while she was clad only in her nightie—- “ Taken Rose Ellis on a trip to Paris.” These and' other charges were taken up by the Norwich consistory court, sitting in the cold, austere hall of church house at Westminster today. Presiding over the trial was F. K. North, chancellor of the diocese, who occupied the dais in the absence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who ordinarily would sit. One Day a Week in Parish The charges against the whitehaired rector were preferred by his lordship the bishop of Norwich, and prosecuted by Roland Oliver. The bishop’s counsel. The elderly clergyman set forth, in reply, that he was engaged in social research, and that his business of helping young women to redeem themselves had carried him into unusual situations. Oliver charged in his opening statement that the rector spent only Sundays in his parish. Dr. Davidson was charged with spending the remainder of his weeks in London “systematically misbehaving himself with young women,” although pretending to save them.

HOUSE MOVES TO RUSH NEW TAX PROGRAM Speaker Garner Again Wins When He Takes Floor for Second Plea. BOOST TOTAL AMOUNT Additional Schedules for Levies Are Submitted by Committee. BY MARSHALL M’NEIL Tim** Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 30.—After more than three weeks, a sobered | house today pushed quickly toward ; enactment the revenue bill that will , levy more than a billion dollars in new taxes on the rich and poor. The bill as now virtually agreed upon is designed to balance the budget in the next fiscal year. Only minor controversies are in prospect between now’ and the time | the measure is passed and sent to i the senate, probably in a very few i days. | The coalition which overwhelmed i the leadership and defeated its proposed sales tax. again is in line as the result of a fervent, almost tearful, and completely dramatic personal appeal of Speaker John N. Garner for balancing of the federal budget. But this group only heeded the leaders again, because it had won its victories. Luxury Taxes Ordered Thesp were four, the latest having I come Tuesday. First, the coalition j increased surtaxes on the rich, and | then it increased estate taxes, giving a definite social atmosphere to this revenue bill. Then it defeated the sales tax. And finally Tuesday, it forced the house to accept a series of spe- ! cial excise taxes on luxuries and | semi-luxuries, a program in accord J with the original Hoover plan. | Speaker John N. Garner won an- | other victory today for harmonious | balancing of the budget when he ; quelled an incipient revolt in the house over a question of consolidated tax returns for corporations. | The ways and means committee brought in a program of additional taxation designed to raise $45,000.000. Overnight consideration of Tuesday’s proposals indicated ther would fall about that much short of balancing the budget and added taxes were recommended. Garner Again Victor Garner, taking the floor for an * unexpected speech, won house approval for the committee proposal of a lyper cent tax on consolidated | corporation returns. Representative Fiorelle H. La I Guardia (Rep., N. Y.l, who helped | tear the bill apart last week in the fight over the sales tax, was among ! those who pleaded for harmony when the Speaker had concluded, and the committee recommendation was quickly approved. The following new rates were agreed upon and will be submitted | to the house as part of the DemoI cratic program. Increase of corporation tax by one-half per cent to 13*4 per cent. Revision of consolidated returns provision. Eight per cent on oil transmitted m pipe lines. Five per cent on airplane manufactures. Revision of the gift tax to a maximum of 33’i per cent. Under the original bill, the new tax burden would have been borne chiefly by persons of small means j and the poor, who would have had ! to pay the general consumers’ tax. ! the rich will bear a larger :share of the burden. Approve Excise Levies The status of the measure as ; adopted Tuesday was: The original bill, minus sales tax ! and including higher income and inheritance taxes, $442,500,000. Supplemental recommendations j for special excise taxes, some er- . acted Tuesday, and changes in administrative provisions, $434,000,000. Budget cuts, probably including some salary reductions, $243,000,000* Postage rate increase from 2 to 3 cents, $135,000,000. These provisions total $1,254,000000. To these now may be added the additional schedules provided today by the committee. urgeslhort wave ban Morrissey for Law Prohibiting Police Broadcast Pickup. : Recommendation that federal laws be passed prohibiting law violators ! fr °m picking up police radio broadcasts with short wave sets in automobiles was made Tuesday by Mike Morrissey following conviction in Chicago recently of an alleged gangster under the new Illinois radio law.
