Former Envoy Interested In Farm
ing.
In the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton
Hotel, where he has taken an apart
ment, 1 met Gov. Myron T. Her
rick, of Ohio, this afternoon. Al
though his hair is slightly graying
there was the same spring in his
step as when he served his country
as the American Ambassador to
France in the. early hours of the
great war. He told me that he was
still deeply interested in the prob
lem of agriculture. a subject to
which he gave his personal atten-
tion in the course of his sojourn
abroad. Herrick is Cleveland
banker by profession, but he gives
much of his time to national poll
tics. being a stalwart Republican.
There is talk of his being the
next Ambassador to Great Britain
OF his return as Ambassador to
France. where he is exceedingly
popular with the leading personages
of our sister republic. 1t will be
recalled that he remained in Paris
in the trying hours when that beau
tiful city was threatened by the
first German onrush. and after the
French government had removed to
Bordeaux.

Along came Goldie Dobbins. He

Then, according to his confession,

The owner of the oil got busy
and SO did the cops. They found
the oil. The also found Ackis and

locked up FIVE employees of the

them go.
Goldie swore that Ackis was in
