This year Mrs. Eooris insisted upon
getting a Christmas tree and trim
ming it as they had done every year
since Gladys came to them, a baby.
Just suppose she should come
back" said Mrs. Vooris. "and no tree
to show we'd been thinking of her
and longing for her and expecting
her."
Sunday night, when Mrs. Vooris was
cycling the Christmas tree dubiously
and sweeping up f1r needles from the
floor with great care not to touch any
of the branches OF the tree lest new
shower fall, the doorbell rang and
there was Gladys.
Detectives who had been hunting
for De Mott, who was wanted for the
alleged theft of an automobile, had
found the couple in a furnished room
in Harlem. They arrested the man
and brought the girl to her grand
parents. Most OF the time since leav-
ing Roosevelt, the eloping couple had
been in Richmond, Va, where they ran
a restaurant.
Regardless of falling needles. the
Christmas tree is going to hold its
place of honor for another week.

Presidents Veto Overridden and
Measure to Aid Agricultural

The House of Representatives this
afternoon repassed over President

action, the resolution now becomes ef-
feCtive.
The vote of the House was $50 to

the Secretary OF the Treasury is au-
thoriZed to revive the War Finance
Corporation to afford relief to agri-

Treasury Houston has strenuously
opposed the measure, and by virtue or
the fact that he occupies an cN-officio

,Aeronauts Expected to Reach
Railway ian. 8 After 800
Mile Journey.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Jan. A.
Headquarters of the Hudson Bay
Company here today reported that the
Lieutenants Walter Hinton, stephen
Farrell, and A. l.. Kloor, jr-were
severely frostbitten when they
landed at Moose Factory and had
been out of provisions for several
days. They sustained themselves on
concentrated foods.
LAND IN ICE FIELD.
The men landed several miles out
on the ice fields Of James bay. The
manager of the Hudson Bay post inn
mediately dispatched a dog team to
their assistance, and they were
brought to the camp. Another dog
team driven by Indians was dis
patched to the nearest telegraph sta
tion, at Mattice, on the Missanabi
river, skirting the Canadian trans
continental railway.
The balloon in which the men made
their flight was dismantled at Moose
Factory, and will be brought out in
the spring on open water. The bal
loonists are bringing with them the
records of their flight. ....s.,. ,--
According to reports here the bal
loonists passed over Cochrane at mid
night December Is In a heavy snow
storm, and were seen by a railway
telegrapher, who reported they were
than at very high altitude, but were
displaying lights of red and green.
REACH RAILWAY JANUARY 8.
The party left Moose factory on
December 81. but owing to heavy
storms and deep snow, are not ex-
pected to reach the railway until
January s. Four dog teams are be-
ing used to transport the balloonists
with their records and equipment on
the 800 0-mile journey across the snow.
Due to the heavy winds that were
prevailing during their flight, 1t is
thought that they were unable to
make 4 safe landing until they hit
the ice fields in James Bay, which
offered a satisfactory landing place.
They were observed shortly after
their appearance by the Hudson Bay
officials at Moose Factory, who i'm
mediately sent dog teams and men
to their assistance and brought them
to the Hudson Bay post, where every
thing possible was done for their
comfort. Their Christmas dinner was
probably not quite what they would
have had in civilization, nevertheless
the Indians gave assurance that there
was plenty of a KIND.

Will Accept No Plan Save for
Early Divestment of Pack
ers' Holdings.

Holding that meat packing con-
Germs against which the Government
entered proceedings some time ago
for violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law "have actually created a
monopoly of line of interstate com
merce." Justice Stafford of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, today in his de-
cision in the matter said that the
court cannot see its way to approve
any plan for the consolidation of the
yards whether by a holding company
or otherwise.
MUST DINEsT HOLDINGS.
Any plan to be acceptable, said the
court, must provide for an early and
complete Investment by the defend
ants of all the obnoxious" holdings,
and IF any delay is to be allowed in
the actual Investment under the plans
that may be proposed. such plans
must provide for complete control by
the court in the meantime of all such
stocks. and must leave the mater in
the hands of the court in such wise
that the plan itself may be terminated
u
mine that the defendants are not
proceeding hereunder with prompt
ness and vigor."
Justice Stafford's memorandum OF
the decision follows:
"The position taken by certain OF
the defendants requires the court to
consider first of AN whether the de-
cree enjoining the defendants from
continuing IS D6i6 stock i'm the stock
yard corporations is a decree which
the court had authority to render
even with the consent OF the defend J.
ants. This must depend principally
upon the allegations of fact in the
bill of complaint

1T is alleged among other things
that the defendants are monopolizing
interstate commerce in the products
OF their packing houses by preventing
the establishment of competing pack
ing houses through their control OF
the stock yards serving their pack
ing houses, which stock yards in turn
control the possibilities for the es-
tablishment and maintenance of new
packing houses in their vicinity, and
