Lafe Connell, ut Monsieur Trem-

chair and puffed viciously at his
pipe. while Monsieur Trembluy leaned
against the wall and listened to his
guests seml-solioquy
"Yep. Tremblay, I'm through now"

or tobacco smoke from his burned-out
plug. IT'S his fault"
He shook his pipe out angrily.
"Oui," said Tremblay; and the word
conveyed any significance that its
hearer might choose to put upon it.
"Oui," he continued thoughtfully,
though what he was thinking about
was incomprehensible.

he got up.

Lafe's stroll was rapid one. As
soon as he had left the porch he al
most ran up the hill road toward the
cliff. AS he painted toward the summit
he heard the rumble of wheels in the
distance. and presently he saw the
cures rig coming toward him. He
hailed.
'Say, Father Lucy, d'you mind CIV
ing me a lift into st. Bonlface?" he
called.
The rig stopped and Lafe perceived
Madeleine Rosny seated at the cures
side. Her hands were claspeL, her
face agitated and deathly pale. Lafe's
hand went up to his hat awkwardly

''Jump in, Mr.. Lafe." said the cure.

Lafe entered the buggy. and Father
Lucien urged on the horse; then he
turned and said:

Consumers.

Acting upon tips" of consumers.
the Department of Justice today be-
gan. nationwide hunt for big sugar
hoarders,, among manufacturers and

Under instructions from Attorney
General Palmer, prosecutors in all
principal centers were to begin at
once a survey of stocks on hand In
warehouses. This is for the purpose
of tracing large stocks. known to be
'on hand, but which are mysteriously
hidden. so far as market purposes are
concerned.
Attorney General Palmer said today
the reports that soft drink and candy
manufacturers are chief offenders to
the hoarder class, are to be sifted to
the bottom. They will be compelled
to disgorge surplus stocks of sugar,
and such supplies will be thrown upon
the market for the public.
An effort will be made to get at
the real basis for talk of higher SUI
gar prices at the conference the At

INFANTS b0DyIN
CREEK, PAIR HELD
Body Weighted Down With
Stones-Father Is Facing
MansIaughter Charge.

BINGHAMTON, N. Y. April 24.-Mr
and Mrs. Floyd Smith, of Binghamton,
are held in the city lookup as fugl-
tives from justice following their ar
rest as the result of the finding of
the body Of three weeks old boy,
weighted with stones, in a creek in
South Waverley, Pa. on Tuesday. The
body Is alleged to be that of a child
born to Mrs. Smith in Elmira on
March %.
The body of the baby was found by
man who was passing under a
waterbridge and saw the childs body
in the water. The body lay face
downward in the creek, it is declared,
with it's head weighted down with
heavy stones. This fact, it is said,
indicates that it had been placed in
the water with criminal intent
The officials declare that a charge
Of manslaughter at least will BE
placed against Smith, who is accused
of actually accomplishing the death
Of the infant, while the wife will be
held as an accessory for the purpose
of eXtradition, although 1t is believed
she has been exonerated of actual
completely in the alleged crime.
According to the Binghamton au-
thorities a full confession Of the at
fair has been made by the couple
which practically exonerates the
woman from completely in the death
OF the child.
According to the story told by the
authorities, the child was born on
March % in ST. Joseph's Hospital, and
later, It is said, the couple made sew
eral attempts to give the child away.

TREATY MAY COME

Probable Election OF Underwood

New hopes for reconsideration OF

aroused today because OF the with
drawal OF Senator Hitchcock OF Ne
braska from the race for the Demo
cratic leadership OF the Senate.
The field Is now left to Senator I'm
derwood, who II is conceded will be
elected TO the position unless the
White House decides TO take a hand
In the situation.
Senator Underwood has been
strongly in favor OF ratification OF
the treaty upon the best possible
terms. He has refused to state what
his policies will be in advance OF his
election TO the minority leadership,
but he remarked significantly that II
think IL will not be surprising II we
have the treaty before the Senate

II think II is quite possible the
President will resubmit II, so IL there

D. c. WOMAN JUDGE
SUGGESTS REFORMS
Justice Kathryn Sellers Is 0p-
posed to Court Trial for
Juvenile Offenders.

Strong opposition TO having children
brought into court on petty charges
was expressed by Judge Kathryn
Sellers, OF the Juvenile Court OF
who spoke at the closing
session of the Citizenship School In
Baltimore yesterday.
Judge Sellers Is the only woman In
the Federal Judiciary, and one OF her
first court orders directed that small
children should not be brought into
court on petty charges. The effect
OF the court trial Is apt TO be bad
morally and mentally for a small
child, besides establishing a court
record OF him, Judge Sellers declared,
and she showed how the problem OF
handling such cases had been worked
out under her Jurisdiction by bring
ing the parents into court instead OF
the children and through co-opera-
ton between probation officers and
parents.
Another order of the woman Judge
provided that children under twelve
years should not be brought into
court on FIRST offense and a third fea-
ture Is the physical and mental ex-
animation of all children who are
brought before her before trial 10 be-
interested in the parents point OF
view and tried always to have them
satisfied with the decision OF the
court. The result. she said, was CO.
operation between. parents and the
court that makes for effective proba-
ton work, Judge Sellers also gave
strong commentator to policewomen,
saying that among children and young
girls a good proportion OF their work
Is preventive. All OF the thirty po-
licewomen In Washington are OF the
highest type, she said. and many are
college graduates.
Judge Sellers spoke formally on the
constitutional origin OF the judiciary,
It's powers and functions, giving a
technical lecture to the students. and
the discussion of her Juvenile Court
work was given at the request OF
several pupils. She urged an inter-
national tribunal similar to the Su-
preme Court of the United States to
which nations would conceds pow
ers. as the sovereign States did to the
Supreme Court.

BONUS FOR .yANKS
VEXES CONGRESS
Nationwide Opposition to Levy
ing of New Taxes Makes
Problem Difficult.

Each new day brings the question
of legislation providing a bonus for
ex-service men into a greater tangle.
Final drafting OF the bonus bill to-
day awaits a statement from the
Treasury Department as to the
amount of money which can be raised
under the various forms of taxes pro-
posed.
Hundreds OF kilograms and letters
are pouring in each day now protest
ing against the levylng OF new taxes
and these protests are adding bewil-
derment to members who are already
somewhat hazy as to just how they
stand on the bonus question.
Congressman Rainey of Illinois has
given promise that he will lead a
fight against the proposed bonus bill
which Republicans plan to bring out,
and the entire question promises the
most lively legislative tight that the
House has seen for some months.
Republican Leader Mondell an
nouncing his opposition to a bonus
bill, predicted that such legislation
would be passed by May 3. The posi-
ton of the Senate with regard to a
bonus is still somewhat of mystery,
however. Past history has shown that
the Senate has always materially re-
vised all tax legislation sent to it
from the House.

Hagerstown delegates tried TO cool
the wrath OF the members most
heated by Offering ice-cTeam and cake.
but the wordy argument ended in the
resignation OF Broening as head OF
the political league. Although the
resignation was laid on the table.
Broening advised friends that the
league Is without a president, despite
the refusal OF the convention TO ac-
cept his retirement.
John A. Banz, a Baltimore delegate,
was recognized by the chair, and he
called attention to the fact that or
ganized labor already had represents
ton on the board in the person OF
Robert Lee, the chairman, and that
the aversion OF Hancock to lawyers
was a new phase, as Hancock, while
lobbying on the compensation bin at
Annapolis. had as a crony a lawyer,
Mr.. Higgins, from the Eastern Shore.
This started the fireworks, which
reached full beauty of display when
Broening made the statement that
Higgins was authority for the state
ment that Delegate Hancock was to
have an appointment II his amend
ments to the compensation bill went
through.
President Drum threw water on the
flames and ice cream was brought
forward to quench the parched
throats. Senator Eppler was Endorsed
by a vote of 43 to 80.
The row was said to be the out
come of the night for secretary, In
which Broening was defeated by N.

vote.
