WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1940

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Feb. 7.—Five years ago when Rene Belbenoit, a hunted fugitive, came trudging through the jungles of Central America on his way northward, he was nearly naked, starved, almost a savage. Today, fleeing again after four years of i peace in America, he is an ironic contrast. He has twec well-fai-lored suits. He wears a wrist watch, ‘and carries a camera in a leather case slung over his shoulder. He speaks English, and in his pockets are book-review sections of New York newspapers. His shoes are new and he steps out of an air liner, instead of trudging in barefooted from the jungle trails. Five years ago he had nowhere to look except forward. 2 For 15 years he had known nothng but a life of human beastliness. His only point 2a living was to get to the U. S.

Today he must look forward, too—but he also is atricately bound up with his recent past. . He has <1 wife and home in New York. He misses them woth, and he is homesick. He has come to love Jew York—its crowds, its subways, its skylines. Back there he has his butterfly-wing business, and many friends, and liftle irons in the fire here and there by which he has been self-supporting these {ast three years. oa _ He doesn’t look especialy sad, and .he talks interestedly with us about casual things. I have no knowledge of what caused the U. S. Government suddenly to call a halt te Belbenoit’s stay in America. But I have a feeling that it was some detail of international diplomacy, caused by the war. I also have a feeling that when the war is over Belbenoit will again -find haven in the United States. He feels no bitterness. : ” ” 2

It’s worth anybody's time to- read it and see with what skill Miss Ballou takes the. passionate plush poetess apart. _ The courtship started, mildly enough, with a letter written in 1880. Mr. Riley was 31 at the time: Miss Wheeler, 25. She already had composed two books of collected poems: “Drops of Water” (1872) and “Maurine” (1876). Both dripped with syrup and sadness. For some reason, though, they both made a hit with Mr. Riley—to such a degree, indeed, that he wrote her a letter of appreciation. “I am writing,” he said, “for all the good you are doing for the world—for everybody loves you and God I know will make you very happy.”

He Gets an Answer

Three months later, he got an answer. “My thankfulness is unutterable,” she replied. “I take all that is sent ‘me knowing nothing can come to me that is not sent by my friends, the gods, who know

me and love me as their own.” Finally they met—in Milwaukee, of all places. Mr. Riley was on a Wisconsin hunting trip at the

of the Indianapolis First Presbyterian Church. The meeting was a fiasco right from the start. Soon as Mr. Riley got an eyeful of Ella's black get-up with of pale blue,” he asked her how she

‘Washington

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—A long, embarrassing stretch is about over for Presidential candidate Paul McNutt of Indiana. Federal revenue agents who have been on his trail in Indiana are finishing up and are leaving the state within a few days. : | Ordinarily such investigations are conducted secretly but word of this got about, and the McNutt candidacy has suffered -severely as a result. The mere fact that the revenooers were looking over the affairs of the McNutt group was enough to scare away support and the campaign for the Presidential nomination, which began with such ‘a burst of activity, sank down. The damage has been so severe that, in fairness, McNutt’s friends believe some statement of exoneration should come from the Government to set the record straight. They already are at work to obtain such a statement of vindication. Revenue agents have been working in Indiana since last fall, giving the fine-tooth comb to the entire McNutt crowd, top to bottom. They have gone through bank accounts, photostated enough papers to fill a library, and turned the affairs of the “Two Per Cent Club” inside out. ” 2 ”

McNutt Backers Confident

On the basis of such information as they have been able to obtain from the revenue people, McNutt’s friends are confident that their candidate has come through the affair without any mud sticking to him.

Some small fry may be caught holding out in sums .

ranging up to $500 or so. but the big fish claim to be clear of the hook.

My Day

WASHINGTON, Tuesday. — Yesterday afternoon we had a most delightful musical here. Miss Ger-

maine Leroux, pianist, played with great power and it ‘was hard. to believe that such a slight, young thing could have such strength of . execution. Mr. Sydney Rayner sang delightfully and his encore from Pagliacci brought down the house. In fact, one woman told me she had never heard anyone except Caruso sing it better.

Today I held the last big formal luncheon of the season, and that is all I have to tell you about purely social functions! Last night, I saw the opening of an exhibition at the new National Museum, which I hope every citizen in the District of Columbia will visit. Many visitors from out of town should also see it, so they will be inspired to go home and demand a similar one in their own localities. The exhibit is entitled: “Tomorrow’s Citizen.” Fourteen social, civil and educational groups in the District collaborated. They have a mechanical man who jells the PNEpeLe of the exhibit and starts you on your tour. The dioramas, pictures

he will eat well, be comfortable, and make genuine friends. : : Belbenoit is getting right to work. Already he has taken a quiet little apartment near downtown. We have been over tc see it. He has a ground-floor living room, a bedroom and bath. It is in a private home and the people serve his breakfast coffee. He eats his other meals at a small hotel. The apartment is far from elaborate. But it is quiet, cheap, and it is a home. You could see his spirits rise as he unpacked and got settled. He became almost jubilant, and the plans began to spin in his head. Belbenoit has enough money to keep him. His second book, “Hell on Trial,” came out the day he left the States, and he has a copy with him. Although it probably won't sell like “Dry Guillotine,” still he will get some royalties from it. . a 7 8 8 He's Still Unafraid He brought his portable typewriter, and three bags full of personal things. His last month of worry and ‘hard work in New York (peddling his butterfly collections 15 hours a day) dragged him down 10 pounds, and he arrived here weighing 110. But now he is up to 112, Belbenoit is extremely temperate. He doesn’t swear. He drinks nothing stronger than a glass of wine, and only one of that. He does smoke, and already is using the Costa Rican brands. His Spanish is coming back to him, and he says in three weeks he'll be speaking it better than he speaks English, which is still broken, but very fluent. Belbenoit seems to me almost immune to anything the world might do to him. I don’t believe he is either physically or spiritually afraid of anything. The city has not made him soft. I believe he could go into the jungles again tomorrow, and sustain himself as easily as he ever did. But of course time does tell. Belbenoit is 40 now. His bushy black hair has a few gray ones in it. Around 10 o'clock at night he gets sleepy, and he seems very tired. It is then the deep lines grow deeper, and his features become a Benda mask, and all the things the world has done to him speak out from his face, 2nd you can hardly look for the lump in your throat. :

have looked in a fashionable gown and a bang.” It hurt Miss Wheeler like everything. So much, indeed, that later when she referred to their first meeting, she said it was “precisely like the encounter of a canine and a feline.” Later, too, in a reminiscent mood, she recalled that Mr. Riley was “very blond.” She didn’t like blond men, she said, “even when handsome.” With such a dog-and-cat start, you wouldn’t think that any more could develop, but that’s how little anybody knows about love. The fact remains that after Mr. Riley returned from his hunting trip, the correspondence continued. Not for long, however. One day, out of what looked like a clear sky, came word from Ella asking Mr. Riley to return every letter she had ever written with the explanation that she “did not want posterity to know that she had wasted so much time on an impossible person.”

8 8 ®

Admitting an Error Later, however, Ella realized her mistake and admitted that “It is a veritable loss to literature that this spirited and sparkling series of letters which were exchanged no longer exists. The wit and sparkle and beauty and pathos of his letters and my replies would, I know, have been delightful reading | for the world today—had Mr. Riley and I remained correspondents only and never met.” Well, that’s the big surprise of Miss Ballou’s book. She dug up a couple of Mr. Riley’s love letters—nothing | but samples, to be sure, but good enough to show what might have happened had not Ella Wheeler med up everything at the start with a cerulean ornamented gown and a fluffy set of bangs. Except for that, the world might have had another Browning | affair, this time with a prairie setting right in our | midst. 5 Four years after her affair with Mr. Riley—a year after publication of her priceless “Poems of Passion” in 1883—Ella Wheeler married Robert Wilcox. He was a brunet. Moreover, Ella wasn’t dressed up when she| first met him. As a matter of fact, she wore an ordinary street dress. And even more to the point, -her big hat covered her set of bangs.

They say with some pride that none of their crowd has at any time hired a lawyer or claimed constitutional rights, and that free access has been given without question to all records. 5 It has been widely suspected, and the suspicion has been shared within the McNutt circle, that some of the candidate’s political enemies were responsible for this investigation. This apparently is no longer the case. A large number of demands for an investigation were received by the Internal Revenue Office and Republicans in Indiana urged an investigation. | 8 2 =»

Expects Favorable Rebound

But the inquiry, so the McNutt people say now, developed following a routine check-up on Pleas E.

Greenlee, when he was recommended as Internal Revenue Collector by Senator Minton of Indiana. Greenlee formerly was one of the McNutt leaders and was secretary to the Governor during the early part of the McNutt administration in Indiana. He and Mr. McNutt fell out, and Greenlee was banished. Mr. McNutt at first suspected dirty work, inasmuch as the investigation began soon after he announced his candidacy, but he is understood not to ‘feel so any longer. Although the affair has done his candidacy much harm, he feels that he will have a favorable rebound from it. In fact, Mr. McNutt is stepping up his campaign. He has just announced that, beginning Feb. 20, he will make a series of speeches in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. wn The McNutt people are cheered by the fact that the Democratic National Convention will'be held in. Chicago. That is just over the line from Indiana and, unless Frank McHale’s old Hoosier hand has lost its cunning, the Chicago convention galleries. will be loaded with Indiana workers under orders to give McNutt a great big hand.

It is so encouraging to find that they realize the needs of these young people and that they want to understand and help them. We talked until after 11 o'clock and I found it an interesting evening. One of the Representatives stayed after the others had left. I found that he was under the impression that the American Youth Congress was going before Congress with a youth act that would ask for money to be appropriated to the Youth Congress.

Dr. Judd Tells Of Japanese Debaucheries

(Second of a Series)

By Jack Foster

Times Special Writer

HENEVER Washington has protested to Tokyo about the bombing of Chinese civilians the Japanese Foreign Office has replied that its army never attacks anything except military objectives. This, according to Dr. Walter H. Judd, is quite true. However, he points out, you must understand the Japanese conception of “military objectives.” From their point of view every one of the 400,000,000 Chinese is a potential enemy. Each of them either must be destroyed or terrorized into submission. Therefore every one of them, regardless of age or sex,

is an “objective.” It is a new kind of warfare,

- peculiar to the Japanese philoso-

phy. It has no parallel in the past when armies fought solely against armies and bullets were aimed at soldiers. It calls for the slaughter of innocent civilians, for rape and the application of narcotics. In Hankow Dr. Judd had a special opportunity to observe the ‘horror of this kind of warfare. He was there during one of the air raids. Throughout the raid, he noticed, the Japanese airmen did not drop bombs on the gun batteries, the arsenal or barracks. Their. deadly charges fell only in the slum areas at a time when the men were away to work. Hundreds of women and children were blown to bits. For 16 hours steadily Dr. Judd operated, and of the 29 people from whom he removed jagged scraps of steel only two were men.

Dr. Walter H. Judd; and right, Chinese women who have joined the ranks to fight against the Japanese who have destroyed their homes and assaulted their honor. Humiliation of women is one of the major objectives in the Japanese at-

Dr. Judd. “To terrify the population. To carry out the promise of Prince Konoye, former Premier, that Japan will ‘beat China to her knees until there can no longer be any spirit of resistance’.” = ” » UT even worse than the indiscriminate bombing of civilians, Dr. Judd believes, is the system of wholesale rape that has been set up by the Japanese army. The heart of China is the home. The heart of the home is the woman. Therefore, the Japanese believe if you destroy the woman, you destroy China. Never in all military history has there existed such a thoroughgoing plan to humiliate a people as has been laid down by the Mikado’s armed forces. ‘The Japanese have set up a permanent. scheme for assault with the same efficiency that they have planned the use of tanks, six-inch guns and incendiary . bombs.

Dr. Judd remembers one incident in which a youth was made to simulate improprieties egainst his grandmother as a band of Japanese roared with laughter. “At first,” Dr. Judd continued, “the Chinese officials would not believe that the Japanese army could possibly indulge in. such barbarities. They thought that these were merely atrocity stories brought West by refugees. : “One tragedy, in particular, I remember. In a little village near my hospital the townsmen fled with their wives and children when word came that the Japanese were approaching. But the head of Se village refused to go. “The stories are not true,’ he said. “But as soon as the Japanese swept through the gates the officer demanded of him: ‘Where are the women?’ ‘There are no women left in town,” he replied. ‘What about you? Haven't you got any women?’ ‘Only my wife,’ the Chinese replied. ‘Bring her out, the Japanese demanded. “The wife was dragged out, terrified, from an inner room. In the courtyard she was assaulted eight times, while her husband was forced to look on. Then one of the soldiers shot down the Chinese beside her.” In his hospital in Shansi province Dr. Judd has had an opportunity to observe the results of this wholesale assault on feminine China.

Detective Houlihan Retires: Known for Pawn Shop Work

Patrolman Denis Houlihan, acknowledged to be one of the best “pawn shop detectives” in Indianapolis, was retired on pension by the Safety Board yesterday at his own request. . : “Mr. Houlihan, who had been on the Police Force for 33 years, spent the last 14 of them as a detective specializing on pawn shop cases. He joined the force Aug. 29, 1806, in the days of “bicycle cops” and was promoted to the position of detective sergeant 20 years later, Aug. 3, 1926. He held that position until a recent department reorganization.

of the town’s respected women who had taken her four children to safety in the hills and had been. captured by the Japanese when she had returned to join her husband. She had been thrown into a hastily organized house of prostitution. For four months she had been there. “The Japanese will not be here forever,” Dr. Judd said to her. “When they are gone you can go back to your children. Aren’t you looking forward to that?” “But I can’t ever go back to my children,” she replied quietly. “The whole city knows of my disgrace. My children must never see me.” : : “But you can’t help what happened to you,” Dr. Judd protested. “That doesn’t matter,” the woman replied. “My husband was destroyed by a bomb. I was destroyed by another kind of bomb. As far as my children are con‘cerned I do not exist.” That night Dr. Judd posed the question before a group of highly educated Chinese young people. “What should she do? Shouldn't she got back to her children?” he asked. “She has made the only possible decision,” they all agreed. “The whole town knows about her disgrace. Therefore she cannot go back to her . children.” That is the devilish part of the Japanese warfare. It is aimed at the ‘soul of Chinese tradition. It is meant to destroy both Chinese pride and honor. It is designed to make them say at last in weariness and humiliation: Peace on any terms. We would rather be slaves than to endure this violation of the sanctity of our homes. But 10 times worse than this, Dr. Judd believes, is the opium problem. “There has been no opium grown in Shansi province for 27 years,” he said. “Within 10 days after the Japanese came I saw the soldiers passing out the seed free, compelling the Chinese farmers to
