OF WHOM DID
HOUTZ COMPLAIN?
Directors Accusation Causes
Wonder i'll School Board
Circles

When School Director Adam ID.
Houtz. at the reorganization OF the
school board Monday afternoon, ac-
cused a fellow member of treachery
for failing to support him for The
presidency whom did he mean?
, In school board circles that ques-
tlon is still giving considerable cause
for wonder.
Mr. Houtz who was defeated by 4.
Carson Stamm for the presidency by
a vote of five to four vigorously de-
Tended his claim to the Craftsmanship.
The Rev. DIR. W. \. Yates nominated
Mr.. Houtz and declared that his candi-
dates long service on the board and
in city movements and the fact that
he was the first man in the field, We're
among the reasons why Mr.. HoutZ
deserved support.

1t has been suggested that a change

of their diplomatic immunity, as to
any treatment different from that
which will be meted out to any enemy
soldier or sailor.
Further consideration, however, has
led to a change of view. IF the United
States should take the ground that it
is responsible for the safe return OF
the two officers to Germany the allied
governments would be disposed to re-
frain from intervention, though 1T is
probable that they would insist that
the men give their parole not to serve
actively during the war.

To supper"
Diana looked about her in great con-
fusion, for nowhere In the big bare
room could she see partner Of any
kind. AS her glance fell on the three
musicians she recognized in the leader
the old man who for the past two
nights had played frs violin az the
Greenville Theatre. The musician had
evidently recognized Diana too, for he
nodded and smiled at her in the most
genial way.

The old lady made another funny
little courtesy and having carefully ar
ranged the ample folds of her dress,
resumed her seat, while Diana hurried
to the musicians platform.
What is it all Hbout?" she whispered.

will keep her quiet and amused"
And so, without further words
Diana, her hands clasped behind her
back began to waltz slowly about the
room, while the three musicians smiled
their encouragement and the little old
lady slowly moved her head to and fro
and tapped her mother of pearl fan
gently ON the arm of her chair in
rhythm 10 the music. AS the waltz
ended Diana completed her perform
ance by a very low courtesy before her
hostess, who promptly bobbed up and
again thanked her for the pleasure the
dancing afforded her.
And now, my dear" she said, Il will
leave you for a few moments, while l
go to see that the supper Is ready and
worthy of so distinguished a guest"
No sooner had the door closed on the
little old lady than Diana ran over to
the violin player, and, Selling him by
the arm, dragged him from his chair and
made him come down and sit on the
edge of the platform with her
Tell me, and tell me quickly" she
demanded what does it all mean ,"
The violinist was n German and old
and he did not like to be hurried
It's nothing" he said, really nothing
for us who know her She's a fine old
lady, is Nine. Larocque, only she's not
quite right in her head and very old.
Why. my father played at her wedding
in this very house. oh, my dear. the

days, but now" The old man looked
about at the hare room and white

gone" he whispered, "all gone"
But why" Diana asked, ARE you
playing here to only the dear old lady?
Are there no other guests coming?"
The old German shook his big bald
head and broad shoulders.
Hardly at this hour" he said You
see ii means nothing to us old timers,
who have known her always. This is
party TO celebrate the coming of age of
her grandson"
And where do you suppose he is?"
Diana asked.
The good Lord only knows that"
said the violinist. at seems strange
you don't know about II; it's such an old
story TO us. Mrs. LaroCques son Harry,
and he was her only son, married when
he was but 81, and he married the most
beautiful lady there has ever been in
Greenville. They were the handsomest
couple l ever saw, but it only lasted five
years.
Harry Larocque was a good looking
dandy, but no good-no good TO any
! one-and he beat her. Yes, my dear, he
beat his beautiful child wife. and so one
night she took their little boy and ran
away from this very house, and no one
has ever heard of them since"
And the father?" Diana asked.
"They say he died Of disgrace and a
broken heart, put think myself it was
drink"
But Diana was still unsatisfed.
Then why" she asked, does old Mrs
Larocque give party IL all her people
are dead and gomez"
/ II know it's hard" said the old Ger
man; its hard for you to understand
who do not know Greenville as we old
| people do, but the Larocques were a
great family, and If Harry Larocque's
child Philip had lived he would have
become of age this very day Mrs
Larocque Is celebrating the event, thai

her friends have mostly died or moved
away and perhaps. forgotten her. She
is sensitive and proud and it may Ia
that she does not care for her friends Il
the old days to see how poor she Is.
Why, even we three musicians are play
ing just for old times sake.

the coming of age party of his son. Be

REAL JOY-CLOOMS
TO PLAY "W five

Word was received yesterday that
the supposed Joy Glooms basket ball
team which had accepted Coach
Roach's terms to play the local "Y"
team here Saturday night was going
under q fictitious name. Roach i'm
mediately got in touch with the orig
inal Joy Glooms management and
made arrangements for his team to
come here instead of the first bunch
The latter five Is rated as the fast
est team travelling out of Indianapolis
next to the Em-ROes and a warm lively
tussle will no doubt result when they
clash with the undefeated "Y" five. A
large crowd is expected to turn out for
the game since the "Y" victory over
Earlham and will root hard for the
local team to keep on with their
march towards the championship of
Indiana. Roach will start Laning and
Jones forwards, Roach, center, while
Capt. Spot Schepman and Big Parker
will devote their time to guarding the
efforts Of the visiting teams forwards
