II Is the only sane and thorough method
of unraveling a mass Of appalling

a swing into Kentucky for an afternoon
speech at Ashlapd.
The train. which left Baltimore las.
night after meeting at the Fifth Reg

early in the afternoon. During most Of
the time between his arrival and the
evening address the candidate planned
70 rest. The exceptional heat has made
his trip unusually trying. and his voice
showed the strain Of last nights SnrpcE
t. the tumultuous gathering in the Bal
timorc auditorium.
As he is travelling westward today
Senator Harding took up various i'm

longer. we're the mission to have re-
maincd for those down and outs. but
they will commerciaize it. They will

The bread line is gone, never to re-

II. s. Case, secretary of the Oc-
tayia Hill Association. declined to dis
cuss the matter. referring all inquiries
to Arthur Shirglcy, the architect, who
is a member of the board of directors
of the association.
Mr.. Shrigley expressed regret when
he heard that Mrs. Long contemplated
leaving, and said he would talk the
matter over with her. when we took
the building over" he said. the Oc-
tavia Hill Association was simply to
collect rents. Nothing more. When
we did this. Mrs. Long talked of lcav-
ing. but agreed to remain until October

with the work.
This has been done. and our rela

said it was his impression the kitchen
had not paid and had been discon
tiuucd, and also that the use of the
basement for free beds had been dis
continued also.
As far as the usefulness of the mis-
sion went, he said, it would be in
creased rather than decreased under
the new management. During the life
time of Mr. Long, he said commit
tee had run the mission for Doctor
Woodward. Now the Octavia Hill AS.
