Why Mother Graham Fled from the
Hetel and Waited for Dieky's Return
In Anger. 10
WYE had not long to wait before we
w found out the reason for the lat
w est tantrum OF Dicky's mother.
As we were finishing the something
hot" which katies forethought had pro-
vided for US. and for which we were
most grateful. as we had taken only
coffee and rolls in our anxiety TO get an
carly train to Marvin, she swept into
the dining room, stately and impressive
in her voluminous gray negligee.
Good morning, mother" Dieky and

greet her But she waved Dickys prof
fered kiss aside, and chilled me with a
look.
AS you have not bothered 20 wait
for me, do not let me disturb your
breakfast" she said with an air that
made our breakfast without her appear
deadly insult Katie. you may bring
me my breakfast now. Please see that

over Our breakfast, for we knew that
our departure from the table before her
would fan her anger into an explosion.
She did not speak again, except to
Katie, until she had finished eating. and
Dicky and ] were so subdued that we
sat ridiculously cowed, as two naughty
children nigh, have done.
As she rose from the table her man

her office for punishment.

Owners Consent.

In Police Court yesterday William
Jones was held over to the Septem-
Der term Of the Mason Circuit Court
for taking an automobile without the

Jones has been working of nights
at Kirk Bros garage and for the past
few days several of the owners of ma

their cars being used and damaged
during the night. On investigation 1t

Of the garage or the consent Of the
car owners. Thursday night car be-
longing to County Attorney William II.
Rees was taken out and when he call

1t put back In condition.
Jones was arrested Wednesday
morning by officer Dudley Bloomhuff
On being questioned he admitted his
guilt, taking all the blame on himself
This is the first time the young fel-
low has ever been in any serious trou-
BILE and perhaps he did not realize the
| seriousness of the offense when he
took the cars out of the garage.

A MEAN TRICK

Some time ago Mrs. George 7. Hun
ter placed fence around the old
dump on the East Second street extern
sion and after raking all the trash to
tho bottom had the top and banks
spaded up and planted In corn. For
the past few weeks some sneak has
been knocking down the fence and
trampling down some Of the corn.
Since Mrs. Hunter has been trying to
do her bit" It seems little enough for
all to laud her good work instead OF
some contemplate person destroying
It. Should the offender be caught he
should be arrested and given the limit.

BELIEVE WEALTHY MEN
INVOLVED IN GRIMES

New York, June 20.-The officials
of this city have been aroused to the
peril of the white slave traffic. A
gigantic move to forever stamp out
this evil has been started. This is the
result of the murder Of Ruth Cruger.
the high school girl. The police have
records that nearly seven hundred
young girls have~been missing from
their homes since the first Of the
year.
Mrs. Grace Humiston, the woman
through whose efforts the Cruger girls
body was found, came out with a
statement today that Alfredo Cocchi,
indicted for the murder, was only a
tool of the white slave ring. She de-
clared the system" was composed of
men OF such prominence that their
names would amaze the country.
Bring Cocchi back from Italy," she
said. @'"That Is more important than
anything else right now.
IF the United States authorities can
get a statement from Cocchi he will
involve so many important people that
the case will be one of the most SEN
sational ever exposed in this coun-
try"
The police department swarmed
with activity today. Commissioner
Woods has ordered a thorough inves-
tigation. not only If the police had
been negligent in the Cruger case. but
into the whole traffic. which has lured
young girls from homes to living
deaths"
