Helen Boyle, now serving her sentence
OF % years in the western penitentjary
for aiding her husband, Jimmy Boyie,
in the kidnapping OF Billy Whitla, or
Sharon. when her appeal for new
trial comes up for hearing in Philadel-
phia next fall, she says the disap'
pointment will kill her.
For the first time since her impris-
onment nearly nine months ago she
told the public her hopes and fears.

Just concluded It's probe into the con-

Brandefs dealt IN cold chronological

argument was devoted 10 a minute
history Of the Cunningham claims. Bal
fingers connection with the cases was
described in detail, the lawyer brand
ing the present secretary Of the inter-
Tor as unfit for his place as trustee
for the people.
"One OF the main essentials OF an
adequate secretary of the Interior
he said, els residences, vigilance,
sturdiness to resist all aggression, in
siduous or otherwise. Is there not
exhibited in Mr.. Ballinger the most
striking lack Of that quality?"
Brandefs paid glowing tribute 70

two public servants who he said. were
discharged for telling the truth.

of Fort Frontenac was ample to pay all
his obligations.
BY sickness and desertion his main
force had been reduced to thirty-fOur.
With these the Griffon spread her sails
on Lake Erie August Z, 1919, and the sec
ond stage Of the journey was entered
upon. For three days the Chiffon had
glorious weather. On the fourth she en-
tered the strait of Detroit and then Lake
Huron. Then came a tempest and the
Chiffon nearly foundered while all hands
except the pilot prayed. He cursed the
luck that brought him a salt sea dog of
a hundred hurricanes, to the disgrace
of confronting death in fresiO water
lake. But the storm abated an the
Griffon dropped anchor at last at Micnilli-
mackinac Here the Jesuits made a
show of welcoming La Sale. but he soon
found that his advance party had been
tempered with. He had sent fifteen men
ahead to trade and to proceed to the
Illinois and make preparations for his
coming. Some had decamped after squan-
dering the goods intrusted to them. Four
were in MichilIimackinac. They were ar
rested. Then La Sale proceeded to
Green bay, where he found friend in
a Pottawattomie chief Here, too, he
found several of his. advance party, who
had remained faithful and had collected
a large store of furs To satisfy his
creditors La Sale determined to send these
furs back by the Griffon at once. The
Chiffon sailed September 49, and La Sale
with fourteen men in four canoes deeply
laden with forge, tools merchandise
and arms. resumed his journey. They
were caught in the September gales mar

tending toward delaying her work Mrs
Dimock sought and obtained a legal
divorce. as 1T were, from the educa-
tional end of the plan, and with a sepa-
rate charter began operations again
under the new conditions. 1t was a
vast undertaking. and many of her
friends believed that she would find it
too heavy a drain. even on her superb
lationS with George Washington Uni
versity of this city had always been
the most harmonious. and her request
for the separation was met with cour-
tesy and prompt action. No better
friend exists for the Washington Memo
rial Association than the George Wash
ington University.
With a new charter and under more
independent conditions. Mrs. Dimock
has been enabled to make remarkable
Roadway. Some $4,000 has already
been subscribed by the children of the
country, and the field Is only partially
titled. Dimes and dollars are flowing
in as the children realize the purpose,
and for this end Mrs. Dimock aims to
divide the country into sections and
subsections and give the work into
various aids from school girls and
a time limit on the work she has
begun, but she hopes in ten years to
see the foundations laid for one of the
unique edifices of the world.

ment succeeds" said Mrs. Dimock,
that Washington will become the sci
entific capital of the western world.
This is a splendid vision. but only a
secondary one to the fact that III we

world He practically would be master
of the west.
But there were many who hoped he
would fail. The merchants who had lost
portion of the rich fur trade through
his favor with Count Frontenac saw him
ruler of the trade of the new domain. The
Jesuits, who saw in Frontenac and La
Sale men who would divest them of all
the power and authority they had enjoyed
SO long, had no love for him. The poll
ticians, whom Frontenac in his brusque
way bad overridden, would rejoice If La
Sale was ruined. for his failure would re-
fleet on the count.
With little thought of jealous mer-
chants, embittered Jesuits or crafty poll
ticians. La Sale went on his way late in
1G7S. The first disaster came in the first
stage of the journey. The supply ship,
which had on board La Sale and Tonty,
was delayed by contrary winds. La
Sale, eager to see what progress was
being made by the main force at Mag
ara, landed in small boat. The pilot,
to whom he had left command, disobeyed
his orders and by accident or design the
ship was wrecked 1t contained the pro-

the intellectual and moral development
of the country as a great tribute to the
man who made civil liberty and ma
terial development go hand and hand in

ton is not old as time goes, but as a
general idea it has occupied the attention
of many public-spirited men and women
during all the years since George Wash

Mrs. Henry F. Dimock OF New York
who has taken the helm in this large
enterprise, spent several weeks in Wash
ington during April maturing her plans
for extending the work throughout the
country. She attended the council of
the Colonial Danes and as result of
her eloquent exposition of her cause
that society gave 5000 to the memorial
while many of the individual members
became interested and will give material
aid.
Mrs. Dimock devotes the greater part
OF her time to engaging the attention
