On the way homeward Hugh slipped

her she surely was all Bob had

"Impossible!" exclaimed Hugh.

their guests reunited.
The table was set and each one dis

"It's the change from the city air."
Hugh declared as he drank his third

apology.
Todd laughed aloud.
"Well, III tell you, Bob" Hugh con-

Hugh shot piercing wink to Todd,

fansy reposed on the wicker lounge
and Hugh sat near her on a stool, orig

His posture was awkward, and it
eventually made him restless. Pansy
noticed this. She moved her little form
over an inch or two.
"There is room here for you, Mr..

"Just 'Hughey,' please. think I'll

makes rather uncomfortable seat" and
he sat next to her.
Hugh told her of his adventures since
coming to New York and of his desire
to become acquainted with a respectable
girl, and concluded by informing Pansy
of how pleased he was that his hopes
had materialized:
She placed her arms about his neck,
drew him to her and kissed him. He
started to raise his head, but she kissed
him again, again, and again.

Iiveried chauffeur Of Mrs. Fairchild,'
who first broached the proposition Of
the murder for a payment Of $5 900
The minuteness with which he went
into the preliminary arrangements for
the shooting and the identification of
picture, which he said bore strik-
ing resem Dlance to Mrs. Fairchild,' y
made the confession all the more re-
markable.
The police became skepticaI, how
ever, when he tried to describe the in
terror Of the Elwcll house, at 244 West
Seventieth Street, where the murder
took place. The discrepancies were
called ridiculous by detectives who
were familiar with the place. He said
tho reception hall was on the left,
when as a matter of fact it was on
the right. He said Elwell came down
stairs in slippers, when in fact he was
found dead III his bare feet. He said
there was table with vase in the
center of the death room. There was
no such article of furniture in the
house.
Detective Oswald from the first was
convinced that Harris's tale was either
deliberate, with an Interior motive, or
was the rawlings of a disordcred mind.
DR.. James w. Putnam, noted alien
ist, however, had pronounced Harris
perfectly sane and normal, from which
Oswald deduced that as it was clear
that Harris was not connected with the
murder there was some purpose behind
his story.
His wife furnished a clew in her
story to correspondents a few days
ago. She declared that he undoubtedly
was trying to have himself sent to the
electric chair to atone for all the
troubles he had caused her and their
families, and that as he had not the
nerve to kill himself he took this
means of ending his life and so put an
end to his and their troubles.
He frequently had spoken of suicide,
she said, and often asserted that he
was going to kill himself. She said she
never took these threats seriously. He
loved her and their baby keenly, she
declared, and was depressed when he
couldn't provide for them in comfort
1t was learned in connection with
Harrls's retraction that he had told his
wife something about his intention to
make a clean breast Of the matter. He
IS declared to have confded to her last
night that he would have told the truth
sooner If he were not afraid Of disap-
pointing the Buffalo detectives, who, he
declared, hoped to get the large re-
ward offered for the discovery of Ell

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 29.-The
question of whether Germany pays
interest on her 22S.000, 100000 marks
debt to the world is vital to the sue
cess of the supreme councils repara-
ton scheme, Herbert Hoover declared
here tonight in an interview.
"The press accounts fail to discuss
interest provisions" he said. ITO my
mind they are vital to the success of
the plan. which. if it works out salts
factorily. will go a long way toward
world stability"
So closely knit is the worlds
economic fabric, Mr.. Hoover said. that
the situation in Europe has affected
every American dinner table.
Our production has been normal.
he continued. but we have a conges
ton of products, due to lessened con
sumption in Europe. Our remedy lies
in making it financially possible for
Europe to buy our raw materials. set
the wheels of her industries turning
and thus create the funds for buying
that those foreign powers do not now
possess
One of the chief obstacles to estab
fishing adequate credits for Europe.
he said. has been uncertainty over
the amount and character of Ger
many's reparations. 1t is this that
makes the action of the allied su-
preme council of such vital impor-
lance. Mr.. Hoover thought.
In our general plans for reha bill
tating Europe we encounter one or
two emba raising phases Mr.. Hoover
concluded. Unless We can raise the
living standards in Europe to the
American level we will be obliged to
Oumpete against cheaper manufactur-
ing costs. Already the branches of
European industry which have start
ed production have been able to
underbid us in neutral markets

But it is impossible to consider
a special agreement between two

general arrangement. We owe to
America: France owes US: other ma
lions owe France. No solution is
possible while America remains out

When the interview began, Mr.

belief that the Germans would not

Mr.. Lloyd George concluded: "The

with the treaty. Furthermore, the
possibility Of GerInany's refusing our
arrangement must be foreseen. in

RED CROSS TOGO
ON PEACE FOOTING
Reorganization Decided on
by Central Committee at
Headquarters Here.

Reorganization OF the American
National Red Cross on a peace foot
ing was decided upon yesterday by
its central committee at q meeting
held in its general headquarters here.
1t is proposed to reduce the num-
Der of national divisions of the or
ganization from thirteen to seven.
The Potomac division. which includes
the District. Is understood to be
among those slated to go. ABOUT
six months will be required to eject
the changes decided upon.
DR.. Livingston Farrand, president
of the Red Cross, said last night an
nouncement of the committees action
would be made formally early this
week. He would not discuss details
of the plan adopted.
The contraction program submit
ted to the committee yesterday was
prepared by special committee
which made a survey of the organi-
zation's activities. w. Frank Per-
sons, formerly director of civic relief
of the Red Cross, was called to
Washington to assist in this work.
1t was explained that the policy
adopted is made necessary in the IN
terest of peace-time economy.
The central committee has mem
bership of eighteen, including Miss
Mabel Boardman, Commissioner OF
the District.

Community Charity Fund
Favored BY: Miss Boardman
D. C. Commissioner Has Same Attitude Toward Pub
lie Welfare Institutions of
Capitol.

One of the ambitions of Commits s.
sioner Boardman is to see her city
adopt the community fund method of
supporting it's charitable and public
welfare institutions.
The plan consists of drawing up
annually a budget of the needs of all
organizations that appeal to the pub
lie for aid and having one city-wide
campaign to raise the full amount.
In Cleveland, Ohio, the community
chest idea has been a greater success
than it's advocates expected. and at 4
o'clock tomorrow afternoon James r:
Garfield, son of the former President,
will tell of Cleveland's results at a
meeting in the Willard Hotel.
Miss Boardman appealed last night
to all Washingtonians who are inter.
ested to be present. She is confident
the people Of the District will well
come the new movement once they
become familiar with it's advantages
over the present system OF having a
hundred organizations making hun
dred appeals to the public at as many
different times Of the year.
Include Every Institution.
ITO make a community fund sue
cessful," said Miss Boardman, 'it is
necessary to have every institution
and society included in the plan. This
is essential because the strongest ar
gument in favor OF the community
fund is that you tell the public when
they contribute to this fund that it is
the only charitable appeal they will
receive. If you do not get 100 per
cent Of the organizations into the
movement IL loses tho strength Of it's
appeal.
Our first objective in Washington,
therefore, is to acquaint all groups
of charitable and social workers with
the advantages of community fund.-
A community fund is gathered much
az the united war work fund was
collected during the war for the sew
eral big organizations that were adj
ministering to the wants of the men
in uniform
business men and other individu-
ais. who, because OF their generosity
toward charity. are. constantly re-
ceiving appeals welcome the COM
munity fund" Miss Boardman con-
tinued. They are glad of tho OPP

pcrtunity to give at one time the
full amount they feel they could spare
during the year for charity.
Interesting Discovery Made.
AN interesting discovery has been
made in carrying out the community
fund idea 1t has been found that
many men and women of means give
more to the one general appeal than
they formerly had given in a year
when each organization appealed
separately.
When these persons sat down to
estimate what they could afford to
contribute toward charity for year
many Of them were surprised to dis
cover that under the old system of
individual appeals they had given
less than their incomes would stand.
The reason was that they were ap-
pealed to SO often to give small
amount here and a small amount
there that when the year ended they
imagined they had given large
sum-"
Another advantage of the community
fund. in Miss Boardman's opinion, is
that it enables hundreds of citizens who
are never reached by the appeals Of
individual organizations to contribute
toward the relief of those who cannot
help themselves.
May Designate Organizations.
In contributing to the community
chest. Miss Boardman pointed out, the
donor is permitted to designate any
particular organizations to which he
wants his money to 60.
lit has been found in other places,
however" said the Commissioner, that
relatively small number designate
their contributions"
In drawing up the Cleveland budget
the committee tabulates the total ex-
penses Of every institution and society.
The earnings or other fixed income Of
each is then deducted, leaving the
amount which must be raised in the
community chest.
For the year 1920 Cleveland raised
approximately $4,000. 600 in its com
munity fund. which represented the re-
quirements for the entire year Of ninety
charitable and philanthroptc societies.
While this amount seems large at first
glance. Miss Boardman predicted that II
1t were possible to tabulate what Wash
ington contributes to the scores Of APP
peals that are made throughout the year
the total would surprise the CITY.
