Fight for Presidency
Of Daughters Lively

RICHMOND. Va. Nov. with prac-
tically every State delegation divided
on the question of who shall be the
next president, the United Daughters
of the Confederacy assembling here for
their eighteenth annual convention an
ticipate the !iveiiest contest that has
stirred their ranks in years.
IT is said that Mrs. Alexander B.
White, of Paris, Tenn, probably would
win easily but for the fact that her
own State is lending most of it's
strength to Mrs. James Brtton CAN'T,
of Jefferson City, Mo. Many delegates
are supporting Mrs. Orlando Hallibur-
ton. of Little Rock. Mrs. Livingston
Rowe Schuyler, of New York city. the
remaining candidate. is said to have the
backing only of her city delegation. The
District Of Columbia delegation Is divid-
ed between Mrs. CAN'T and Mrs. White.
Becauspe she claimed that her organ
izatlon is the hostess of the Daughters
though just organized several weeks
ago following. split In the regular

The morning newspaper which has

The specimen submitted was one of in

of which no satisfactory method has yet

Senator Sutherland, chairman of the

CHAPTER XIII.
Billy Gregg's Glorious Disbelief.

BOVE me, seemingly a bare
~ hundred yards away in that
n concussion-cleared air. loomed
the summit of Vesuvius. Yet
not the summit l had been accustomed
to see.
The great jagged cone that had stuck
so awkwardly heavenward had van
ished. In Its place was a low-capped
summit. rounded and unbroken. like
mighty ash heap, from whose center
rolled up black masses of fire-shot
vapor.
Something struck the ground within
three feet of me. raising cloud Of
ashes. Ten feet away second and
then a third object fell.
They were stones from the shattered
cone. And now. thick and fast, the red
hot projectiles rained about me.
But l had no time or thought for
them. For. reeling forward, l stumbled
feebly to the giant fissure that yawned
athwart the spot where the hovel had
stood.
Down its gaping nav had vanished
the rear half of the cabin and its three
occupants-the peasant, my friend and
the woman I would have died to save.
The fSSure was not caused by lava
burst, nor was the smoke thick that
came from it. 1t was simply one of in
Vulnerable huge cracks in the mountain
side caused by the convulsion Of the
subterranean eruption.
l flung myself on my face beside II.
and, leaning far over the crumbling
edge, peered downward.
The fissure was perhaps ten yards
across. About it swirlsd little eddies
OF suddenly disturbed ashes, rendering
the dark, gaping interior vague and
indistinct, even in that lurid glare.
About me whiZzcd and crashed the
falling stones from the crater One
of them grazed my head. but I did not
feel any pain. All the sensation
whereof I was capable was centered
in my bleared. smarting eyes that
peered so helplessly down that dusty
cavern wherein was entombed the
woman of my heart.
And little by little as l gazed the
ash swirls settled and l could see
farther and farther down into the vast
earth cash.
And all at once / heard a strangled
voice that / dimly recognized as my
own crying out despairingly wom-
ans name.
For l had seen her.
There on a little ledge formed by a
stratum of trembling tufa rock twen-
| ty feet below me she lay, silent, inert,
| hanging on the very verge OF the
deeper chasm that stretched far be-
meath her into the bowels of the earth.
So she had fallen and so she lay, a
| bare score of feet distant from the
man who would have risked thou
sand lives to save her, but who was

Roberts Says Trip
Has Strengthened Taft

Director George E. Roberts, Of the
Mint who is back in Washington, after
q trip to the Middle West, said today
he was convinced that President TAFT

Taft did not excite the enthusiasm
that a man like Roosevelt did, people
were favorably impressed with what he
said.

Cummins himself should become a

the steel prosecution was having in
