NO, SIR! ROVER
SHALL NOT DIE
OF BROKEN HEART

Washington, Oct. z1.-Ponderous
governmental machinery stood stock
still today while a 13-year-old girl
stood before a group of dignified gen.
erals and tearfully pleaded for the
life of little yellow dog.
She was Esther Smiley of Maryland,
sister of Private Peter Smiley, a re-
cruit in the United States marine
corps, and the dog she held in her
arms had been Peters playmate since
youth.
Rover will surely die of grief I'M
less you send him on to my brother. :
the little girl sobbed.
And wonder of wonders, the digni-
fled generals understood the little
girls plea, and, acting instanter to
preclude the embalming of Rover in
the red tape of officialdom gave the
necessary instructions, and within an
hour the faithful playmate of Private
Peter Smiley was Grated up ready for
shipment to the marine corps recruit
depot, Port Royal, S. c., where Peter
IS in training for the land and sea
duties of marines.

CUT DOWN DELEGATES
Small Dioceses Oppose Reapportion-
ment Plan at Conference.

ST. Louis, Oct. 21.-Conflict be-
tween Representatives of the smaller
dioceses of the church, and those of
the larger ones was expected today in
consideration of proposal to change
the basis of representation in the gem
eral convention which is on the calen-
dar for discussion in the house of
deputies of the Protestant Episcopal
general convention in session here.
At present each of the sixty-eight
dioceses in the church are represented
in the convention by four lay and four
clerical delegates.
A special committee headed by the
Rev. R. H. McKim of Washington,
reported as favoring a plan of pro-
portionate representation. The plan
suggested would give each diocese a
minimum representation of three lay
and three clerical delegates with an
additional lay and clerical delegate
for each one hundred clergymen resi-
dent in it, the maximum being fixed
at six lay and six clerical delegates.

GRAHAM CASE TO JURY
The state Puts an discriminating Note
in Evidence.

The case of the state against Robert
Graham, negro, charged with a Statu-
tory offense against his 13-year-old
stepdaughter, Alberta Powers, went to
the jury in the first division of the
district court at 1 o'clock this after
noon.
The defense completed its testimony
made their arguments to the jury from
10 until II o'clock today.
Robert Carver, assistant county at
torney, sprang a surprise on the attor-
neys for the defense, in his argument
today, when he produced a note al
legged to have been written by Ora
ham to his stepdaughter, the day she
is alleged to have confessed to her
mother. The note had been torn into
several pieces and was picked out of a
coal scuttle by Mrs Graham.
The Powers girl testified as to the
contents of those portions of the note
which were missing and declared that
il read: Don't name my name Lay
it onto some boy or a white man."
During the progress Of the trial,
Carver had managed to secure some
of Graham's handwriting in which
note the word some was spelled
'-sone" In the handwriting Carver
secured during the trial it also was
spelled some" There were several
other alleged similarities in the hand
writing and spelling.
Before the jury, the state took the
position that If Graham was the
author of the note, he was guilty of
the crime charged. then proceeded to
attempt TO prove to the jury that Ora
ham was the author of the note.

a couple of iron pipes running up out
of the ground.
"Shope told us these pipes led from
an underground tank of $4,000 gallon
capacity, that was full of water gaso-

when 1 got a chance 1 gave one of the
pipes a pull. Up it came. Attached
to it was a gallon can that had been
buried three or four inches under the
ground"
