hoofs made little noise, and they
pressed steadily onward, closely
punched together, so as not to lose
each other, dim, spectral shadows fit

that grim desolation surrounding
them. No one of the three felt like
speaking; the gloomy, brooding des-
ert oppressed them, their vagrant
thoughts assuming the tinge of their
surrundings; their hope centered on
escape. Keith rode, grasping the rein

the bark of the cottonwoods, the direc-

to avert any variation.
The girl rode easily, although in a
mans saddle, the stirrups much too
long. Keith glanced aside with swift
approval at the erectness with which
she sat, the loosened rein in her hand,
the slight swaying of her form. He
could appreciate Craftsmanship, and
the easy manner in which she rode
relieved him of one anxiety. 1t even

as he could not determine whether
this mysterious cabin on the Salt Fork
lay to east or west Of the usual cattle
!aii leading down to the Canadian.
Yet he felt REASONABLY assured that
the general trend of the country lying
between the smaller stream and the
valley of the Arkansas would be SINH
lar to that with which he was already
acquainted. 1t was merely a wild
stretch of sandy desolation, across
which their horses would leave scarce
ly any trail, and even that little would
be quickly obliterated by the first puff
of wind. AS they drew in toward the
river valley this plain would change
into sand dunes, battling and confus-
Ing but no matter how hard they
pressed forward, it must be daylight

these, and this would give him oppor-

mark which would guide them to the
ford. Meanwhile, he must head as d.
rectly north as possible. trusting the
horses to find footing.
1t was plains instinct, or rather
long training in the open, which en-
abled him to retain any true sense of
direction, for beyond the narrow
fringe of cottonwoods along the
stream, nothing was visible, the eyes
scarcely able even to distinguish
where earth and sky met. They ad-
vanced across bare level, without
elevation or depression, yet the sand
appeared sufficiently solid, so that
their horses were forced into swing

press aside the black curtain, which

Jelliff avenue, could explain this prob
lem in low finance to Nicholas Bisanto,
of the same address. and three COM
p~anions much had happened, including
a little gun-play.
Stengo, a contractor, owed Bisanto
and his three friends, workmen, s45 for
services rendered. Moskowitz. Staple
man g. Stein, builders, of 80 Hillside
avenue. gave Stengo a check for $23 for
services rendered. Stengo gave the
check to Bisanto and his friends in
part payment.
Meantime Moskowitz, Staplenan and
Stein professed to have discovered that
the work for which they had given the
1928 check had not been done, and
stopped payment on 1t. This move
was to cause Stengo considerable en-
barrassment later.
When Messrs. Bisanto and friends
found there was positively nothing do
ing at the bank they returned to the
Stengo home to discuss the matter.
Bisanto ls alleged to have carried a
club with which to Turkish his argu-
ment. In the excitement incident to
the discussion Stengo is alleged to have
fired a shot which perforated one of
Bisanto's trouser legs.
Bisanto sought to make a complaint
against Stengo in the Fourth Precinct
Court today, but the matter being con-
sidered complicated was laid over until
Thursday.

VISIT TO NEWARK
Mrs. John Grentman Killed by
Husband, Who Then
Shot Himself.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, May e.-Incensed
because his wife had left him on ac-
of his shiftlessness and brutality,
John Grentman shot her and himself
last night at their home. between lions
Vile and Treichlersville. when she re-
turned to visit her children. Both are
dead. Grentman's first bullet aimed at
himself merely grazed his lips. Then
he stuck the revolver in his mouth and
sent a bullet into his brain.
They were New Yorn people, and
Mrs. Grentman was formerly a serv-
ant in the home of former Governor
Frank S. Black. at Albany. They
moved to Lehigh county a year ago
with their four children. Grentman's
habits split up the family, Mrs. Grent-
man going TO Newark last March. 1t
was on her return yesterday that the

INJUNCTION SUIT
IS WITHDRAWN BY
FREDERICK k|LGUs
Contractor Says His Labor
Troubles at Central High
Are at End.

Frederick Kilgus, the contractor for
the Central Commercial and Manual
Training High School, under construc-
ton at High, New and Summit streets,
gave legal notice in the Court of
Chancery before Vice-Chancellor Ste
vens, through Arthur #. Egner, today.
that as far as he was concerned his
troubles with the labor unions were at
an end.
AS a result of this announcement the
vice-chancellor signed an order con-
senting to the discharge of the rule to
show cause. which was returnable to-
day. This rule was for an injunction
to restrain the various individuals and
trade unions from ~endeavoring to re-
lard the work of construction by in
ducing workmen employed by Mr.. Kill
gus to refuse to go to work. He also
alleged that he had been hampered in
other ways.

been postponed from time to time, was

much difficulty in going ahead with
the job. The Board of Education
helped him out from time to time 3y
allowing extensions.
The order to discharge was mad
without prejudice, and the application
can be renewed at any time should the
contractor see fit to do so. In the
paper presented to the court today he
set forth that the situation had
changed so that further prosecution
was deemed unnecessary, but Henry
Carless, counsel for the defendant
union men. objected so vigorously %
this that the vice-chancellor struck out
the words covering this idea.
"As far as the defendants are on
cerned,'' he said, "the situation has not
changed. On the contrary, it is exact
ly the same, as the defendants have
done nothing to warrant the issuance
of a restraining ORDER
While signing the order, the vice.
chancellor remarked hat he never
would issue an injunction in a cause
where it would work n harm.

FREE LIST PASSES,
DESPITE MANN'S
KEEN OPPOSITION
Democrats Solid for Measure,
and Are Aided by Insur-
gent Republicans.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Nine hours
of continuous pounding at the hands of
the Republican minority of the House
of Representatives failed to make a
single change in the first Democratic
tariff bill, hat placing on the free list
agricultural implements, meats and
many other articles.
The bill passed the house Last night
by a vote of 236 TO 109, the Democrats
voting soiidly and mastering twenty
four Republicans with them.
This came after the Democrats had
voted down or ruled out of order more
than one hundred amendments. and
had demonstrated again thai the Demo
cratic majority was q compact and
smoothly working machine for the en-
actment of legislation.
Minority Leader Mann threw amend
ment after amendment into the debate,
ranging all the way from free rice to
free lead and pig-iron; but those that
were not ruled out of order were cheer
fully voted down by an almost solid
Democratic vote.
Insurgents Vote In Favor.
The Republicans who voted for the
measure were: Representatives Ander-
son, Davis, Lindbergh, Miller. Volstead
and Stevenson, of Minnesota; Anthony,
Jackson, Madison. Murdoch, of Kan
sas; Hanna n Helgeson, of North
Dakota: Lenroot, Kopp, Morse, Nelson,
of Wisconsin,; La Toilette and Warbur-
ton. Of Washington: Lafferty. of Ore
gon; Kent, of California; Hubbard, of
Iowa; Morgan. of Oklahoma; Norris, OF
Nebraska: Roberts, of Nevada.
The Republicans attacked the biz
continually. Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Mann
and others making good, old-fashioned
tariff speeches. Mr.. Payne said that
the bill was full of gross inaccuracies,
although he did not point out any spe-
cific examples, and declared that there
were Democrats who would be against
it but for the Democratic caucus.
The Democrats made the least pos
sible attempt to defend their bill. The
only noticeable effort of this kind came
when Mr.. Mann repeatedly tried to
force debate on the omission of rice
and rice Hour from the paragraph on
meats and cereal food. He said that
rice was left out simply to favor a
few districts down South.
Explains Action on Rice.
Mr.. Underwood replied thai the COM
mittee's reason for leaving rice out of
the bill was that 1t afforded some rev.
enue, and it was not regarded wise
to cut off all revenue-bearing items.
Mr.. Mann reported that the amount
of revenue from rice flour was but
1924, 900 last year, an amount insignia
cant as a motive for those who desired
to retain revenue-bearing articles on
the dutiable list. Mr.. Payne said that
Mr.. Underwood had first said that the
free list bill would cut off only a mil
lion revenue; then in the committee
report he said 1t would take off ten
millions. and in his statements to the
newspapers he had put 1t al twelve
millions. "And l believe" said the
Republican leader of ways and means.
that it would cut off fifty millions
and the country from shore to shore
will hear from what you are doing to-
day.

COULDN'T GET II
Hearing He Was in Financial
Trouble, She Drew Cash
from Bank.

What is the correct size of a. chalk
box; Of the kind that is used in the
public schools. This was the subject of a
lengthy controversy today between
Senator Harry V. Osborne and Miss
Sadie Jatkowsky. a pretty miss of Il
years. who lives at Il Hampton street.
Miss Jatkowsky was the star witness
in a hearing before Referee Edwin G..
Adams at the local bankruptcy court,
in the matter of Max J~atkowsky. her
grandfather. who is a bankrupt. MI.
Jatkowsky vas thrown into bankruptcy
several months ago by Senator Osborne,
who represents several ~well-knoNn
firms on Broad and Market streets. to
which Jatko wsky yves various sums OF
money.
Took Money from Bank.
It became known that Miss Jat-
kowsky deposited about $1,000 in the
American Commercial Bank last No
vember, about the same time as the
creditors began to press her father.
Shortly after this she withdrew the
money. In explaining her reason for
his to David Booker. also representing
the creditors. today she said. Il heard
that my father was in financial trouble
oio my uiCic . PiOPCit Dc1If6 httdCtltu.
So l thought it would be safer to keep
the money where they could not get
hold OF it,"
The chalk box controversy started
when Senator Osborne wanted to know
the kim of receptacle Miss %Jatkowsky
stored nearly 81. 800 ~in1snall bills, which
she declared she had saved in six years.
The witness thought it was a regulation

could not swear it was a chalk box,
but it was of the uniform size of one,
she declared.

"Show me with your hands," said
the lawyer, how large this box was
Miss Jatkowsky indicated q box about
a foot long and six inches wide.
That's q mighty big chalk box" de-
clared the senator, unless they have
changed in size since the time when l
went TO school. I think 1t was only
half the size you Indicate"
Very ladylike. the witness would not
contradict her examiner, but willingly
conceded that 1t might not have been
a chalk box after all.
Max J~atkowsky, the bankrupt, had
credit with many of the Broad and
Market street stores when he turned
his installment dry-goods business over
to his son, Abe Jatkowsky. The latter
piled up bills but never paid them, say
the creditors, when It was decided to
investigate. 1t came TO light that Abe
Jatkowsky had been discharged from
sanitorium but a short time, and his
father declares he was a drug fend.
