The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1912-06-05


DR.. Temple in a nightgown and
trousers Roger Ashton, in a collar
less estate, and the porter, managed
to extricate Mr.. Wellington from his
plight. and stow him away, though it
was like putting a whale to bed
Mallory, seeing that Marjorie had
fled, vented his wild rage against fate
In general, and rice traps in particu-
lar, by tearing the bridal bungalow to
pieces, and then he stalked into the
smoking room, where Ira Lathrop,
homeless and dispossessed, was sound
asleep, with his feet in the chair.
He was dreaming that he was a
boy in Brattleboro, the worst boy in
Brattleboro, trying to get up the cour-
age to spark pretty Anne Cattle and
throwing rocks at the best boy In
town, Charlie Selby, who was always
at her side. The porter woke Ira, an
hour later, and escorted him to the
late bridal section.
Marjorie had fed with her dog. as
soon as she could grope her way
through the deluge of rice. She hop
ped into her berth, and spent an hour
trying to clear her hair of the null
titudinous grains. And as for SnoozIe-
ums, his thick wool was so be-riced
that for two days, whenever he shook
himself. he snew.
Eventually. the car quieted, and
nothing was heard but the rumble and
click OF the wheels on the rails. the
creak OF timbers, and the frog like
chorus Of few well-trained snorers.
AS the porter was turning down the
last OF the lights, rumpled pate was
thrust from the stateroom, and the
luscious-eyed man whispered
Porter, what time did you say we
crossed the Iowa state liner"
Two iifty-tive a. M"
From within the stateroom came a
deep sigh. then with a dismal groan:
Call me at two iifty-five a. m.." the
door was closed.

RED CROSS AT WORK.
Director Bicknell Goes to Scene of
Flood to Learn Exact Conditions.

The Red Cross is working energetically
to relieve the sufferers from the great
floods in the Mississippi river, and Miss
Boardman herself has taken active charge
of the work here. Ernest p. Bicknell.
the national director, has gone to the
flooded region to learn the conditions.
Upon his report will depend the issue of
a call for a national subscription.
The sum of $40 of the associations
funds has been sent to several governors,
including Hadley of Missouri, Hooper OF
Tennessee, McCreary of Kentucky and
Glasscock of West Virginia. These vari-
Gus sums are expected to serve as the
nucleus for the collection of state funds.
which the governors, being presidents Of
their various local organizations, are eX-
pected to collect.
Gov. Hadley has informed Miss Board
man that the conditions in Missouri are
deplorable; Gov. McCreary reports that
1900 families are homeless at Columbus
and Hickman. From all quarters come
reports Of great damage to farming lands
and live seock.
The quartermaster general foresees con-
siderable difficulty in meeting the demand
for tents for the food sufferers. BY act
of Congress he is directed to furnish
tsntage for 1000 Confederate veterans
when they have their reunion at Macon,
Ga. May 1. The available supply of
tents is low, and 1T is questionable
whether this new demand from the flood
regions can be met unless the veterans
are to go without their tents.

the three great negro revolutionists, and
at the presidential dinner last night gave
advice to the present-day negro republi-
cans as to how to obtain prosperity
through internal peace and international
good behavior.
The Secretary of State said the init
mate relations between the United States
and the Republic Of Haiti could be ex-
banded mot through invasive activity on
our part, but through the self-develop-
ment Of your resources under the benevo-
lent sway of peace"
The Dominican republic complains that
Haiti is assisting the dominican rebels,
and apparently the Secretary Of State
hopes to stop this and also to bring in
fIuence to bear on Haiti to ratify the
protocol referring the border dispute to
The Hague.

GIRL VANISHES FROM HOME.
Went to Take Letters to Friend and
Disappeared.

Miss Gertrude Speeden of 034 LIST street
southeast. sixteen years old. disappeared
from her home last week. Her aunt says
she thinks the girl is hiding in Washing
ton under an assumed name or has gone
to Norfolk or Roanoke, Va.
The girl left her house last Friday for
the purpose of taking a suit case of let
tiers to a friend, Miss Lillian WilkersOn
of the Lincoln Hotel. When she failed to
return home in the evening Mrs. Sadie
Johnson, her aunt, searched her room,
discovering that she had taken several
of her newest articles Of clothing, enough
to last her for a considerable time. She
notified the police Of the sixth precinct
and Miss Speeden was traced to the
apartment of Miss Edith Miller. friend,
who lives in the Stanhope apartments,
where it was learned that she spent last
Saturday evening.
Mrs Johnson went to Miss Miller's
apartment the next day with a policeman,
but the young woman was out. Miss
Miller admitted to Mrs. Johnson after
ward, the latter says, that Gertrude had
spent the night with her. but said that
she had no knowledge as to her where
abouts now.
Miss Wilkerson, to visit whom Gertrude
left her house. has not seen the girl since
last February. They were chums at st.
Marys Academy, Alexandria, Va. last
year and when school was over Miss Will
kerson gave Gertrude suit case Of let
tiers to keep for her. These letters, Miss
Speeden kept in her room at home and
told her aunt that she was going to re-
turn them. She left the house with a
bundle that looked like a suit case and
said she would be right back. With the
exception of her visit to Miss Miller the
police have been at q loss to find any
trace of the girl.
Mrs johnson says she believes that the
girl has gone to Roanoke. Va. where she
had friends. or possibly to Norfolk. Mrs.
johnson scouts any idea of elopement. as
her niece is young, quiet and seemed per-
fectly contented.
Miss Speeden is pretty and petite, with
brown hair and blue eyes. The fact that
she took her clothing leads Mrs. Johnson
to think she intended to leave the city.

WARRENTON. Va. April 4.-Joel
Mann, a native of Canada, but for more

of Warrenton, last night, in his eighty
ninth year. Mr.. Mann came to Fauquier
to conduct the first cheese manufacturing
known in this section. He was for more
than forty years a member of the Ma
sonic lodge and a loyal sympathizer with

1t is thought that the plan of the Cum

tive committee will be appointed and
that this body will be instructed to out
line plans for the campaign and report
back to the central committee. In this
event the central committee will again
meet prior to the opening Of city clean
ing week. April Is. The committees will
have at their disposal ten days in which
to complete all arrangements for the
campaign.
AT tomorrow's meeting a chairman for
each committee will be elected. while a
campaign secretary also will be chosen
1t is not probable that subcommittee will
be appointed until after the executive
committee has thoroughly canvassed the
needs of the situation and brought in a
report.
In connection with plans for the cam
recem,mendation will be be made for the a an
pointment of a committee to investigate
sanitary conditions On dairy farms which
supply milk in the District. This is a
subject in which officials Of the health
II vitality affects the health Of the Dis
trict, 1t probably will be considered along
with the plans to improve the sanitary
conditions OF the city generally. Whether
to go into this matter. however. and. If
so, to what extent. remains to be seen.
Will Be Directing Force.
Whatever plans for the campaign
may be adopted, the central committee
will be the directing force and will be
responsible for them. While The Star
has conducted preliminary arrange
ments for the undertaking, the move
ment. once it has been taken over by
the central committee. will be entirely
a citizens affair. For the purpose Of
keeping Washington perpetually a clean
city and continuing the work which is
to be undertaken, 1T Is not improba BILE
that at the close of the campaign a
public health association will be
formed. Such a proposal. as will all
suggestions of any kind, must originate
with and be determined by the central
committee.
Washingtons $1,000 school children
have been requested to spend a portion
Of the Easter vacation cleaning up their
own yards and premises. DR.. William NJ
Davidson, school superintendent, today

Of the pupils will comply with the re-
guest. 1t is his belief that not less than
10000 private yards and premises will
be improved as result of the cleanup
at home crusade.
