POST TM|STRESS FIGHT
HALTS SENATE WORK
Combinations of Nominations
Held Up BY Argument Over
Mrs. Longstreet's Charges.

Controversy over the confirmation of
Mrs. II. w. ]. Ham to be postmaster
at GAINESVILLE, Ga, to succeed Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet. tied up confirma-
tions Of several postmasters in the
Senate yesterday afternoon.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and
other Democrats sought to rush postof-
fee confirmations through. But the
Republicans insisted that the Senate
carry out the promise made to Mrs.
Longstreet by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis when she appeared before the
Postoffice Committee, that her state
ment would be printed.
This statement contains certain graft
allegations. and Senator Townsend, who
declared Mrs. Hams nomination could
not be confirmed until the statement
was published. intimated certain Sena
tors would like to suppress 1t. and that
IL it were not published at once it
never would be.
Bankhead both admitted the promise to
Mrs. Longstreet. but an effort was
made in spite of this promise to press
the confirmation of her successor.
The outcome was that assurances
were given the statement would be
printed, and as soon as II is Mrs. Ham
will be confirmed Mrs. Longstreet
resents charges of incompetent adminis-
tration on her part. and Is seeking. not

Evil Rumors.

r was with his soul swept by the
pain of all the bitterness Of his
life that Whitridge had turned
away from the two men on deck.
His memory of bitterness began with
Porter Campbell He had feared from
the day a week before when the
American crusier squadron had put
into Yokohama that somebody would
recognize him. Now, at the last mo-
ment, his apprehension had been full
filled. He knew the nature of Camp
bell too well to dare to hope that he
would conceal his identity from the
civilian to whom he had been speak
ing.
Then in flash he identified Camp
bells companion. II was Evans of the
consulate at HOngkong. He had read
in a paper that morning that Evans
was en- route home by the CambOdia:
Just as he reached the window Of
the purser's office Whitridge recOg-
niZed Emily Granville's maid stand

that when this ships company came
to put him on the wheel of scorn that
she-the gold wOman-must he there
to twist II. He turned quickly as II
to retreat 1t was not too late; he
could escape the torture and the hu-
initiation that he was certain was in
store for him.
Even as he turned he paused with a
new sadness. The call in his mothers 8
letter. which yesterdays mail had
brought to him. came to his mind.
The words were burned in his brain:
Just to hold you in these withered
old arms again and press you to my
breast as ! used to do when you were
a bonny baby boy-that Is all I ask.
l would go through the Gate happy
and with a smile"
He turned back toward the window.
and as he did so he felt the throb OF
the engines starting the Cam5odia
down to the sea.
A slight woman in black. dark of
skin. and with her raven hair grooned
silky after the fasion Of Oriental
women, looked up at him with Il sur
prised but happy CLEAN of recognition.
Whitridge did not see her. although
he appeared to be locking straight 1t

Pleasant. Timely Trip.

More than one member Of the House
is looking enviously toward the Naval
Affairs, Committee room these days. and
many a perspiring member win wish for
a new committee assignment when he
sees his envied colleague climb aboard
the Mayhower and set sail between the
cooling shores Of the Potomac on July 8.
OF course, the mission Of the Naval
Affairs Committee is a serious one, for
there Is. an agitation on for the aban-
donment Of the useless" navy stations.
Nevertheless, it is pleasant that the trip
can be arranged when the Thermometer
is about to bust In Washington and
when a sea breeze costs q trip to Co

Just then Miss Granville and her maid

said the Chinaman, shaking his head
disconsolateiy and bringing Whitridge's
gaze away from the splendid figure Of
womanhood moving up the gangway.
The devotion that shone In the yellow

When he reached the deck he looked
back. intending to give Chang a fare
well handwave, but the Chinaman had
disappeared. He searched the pier from
end to end. but there was a dimness in
his eyes and they made no discovery.
He turned to go forward and collided
with two men, one in the uniform of 4

other in civilian garb.

II have helped hearing what was
~ said at the pursers window. The
shock of the revelation stunned
her. 1t seemed impossible that Fate
could have placed her in the same ship
with the man whose fiendishness had
gloomed her whole life.
With her nerves overwrought and her
senses reeling she sought her berth.
There she argued with herself that the
man who had spoken to the purser must
be mistaken. 1t was not true. she per-
sisted in thinking. The man whom the
agency manager had told her was Cap
tain whitridge-the man who had given
up his room to her-could not be La
velle. His was not a face that could
mask such a fiend. 1t was too fine,
and yet the sadness Of 1.-THE pain she
had seen in his eyes-returned to
startle her.
II can't-I wont believe it," she said
to herself over and over again, fighting
the sense of foreboding that grew in
her heart.
But dinner time brought a brutal con-
firmation. A passenger at the captains s
table where Emily Granville sat blurted
out before the skipper could stop him
how the Cambodla flrst offlcer mad

aboard and had recognized him as La
velle He pointed him out seated at
table opposite with bent head.
With white face and scared. staring
eyes, Emily Granville left her place
and somwhow got to her room. little
while later her maid found her sense
less in her berth and revived her. to
hear her cry and moan that furies-
black furies--were tearing at her pillow.
And she breathed heavily as one spent
