Widow of Kinkead Wants
Vengeance.

New York, Aug. 8.-Firm in the
belief of her husbands innocence and
with words of vengeance for the wo-
man slayer of her mate, Mrs. CORN
ley Kinkead, widow of Ellis Guy Kin
kead, lawyer, who was shot down IN
front of his Brooklyn home Friday,
left New York today with the body of
her husband for his childhood home IN
Covington, KY.
Believing that her husband was the
victim of woman with an unbalanced
mind, who resorted to murder when
her blackmail efforts failed, Mrs:
kinkead wept silently as she repeated
again and again:
81 know my dear husband is inno-
cent and that he had been grievously
wronged. I'm going to take him to
his childhood home and to the place
where our love developed into marrl-
age"
Shortly before the train moved
away Mrs. Kinkead broke down when
she was told that Miss Olive NJ. P.
Stone, a nurse, who is held charged
with the murder, remarked that "she
was the happiest woman in the world
now that she knew Kinkead was
dead
II am sure the woman is mentally
unbalanced" Mrs. kinkead said. "She
is not from Louisville or Covington
or any of the places she says. She
is from the mountains of Tennessee
and she has all the fiery char
acteristics of the mountaineer.
"She has told wierd story of the
whole affair. 1t is story that to
me, who knows all about my husband,
is nothing but series of lies. The
woman could not have been right to
have told the disconnected story that
she did. To make her act justifi-
able one she adds that my husband
defrauded her out of $1,000.
"She has done all the harm that Is
humanity possible and now It's up to
the law to take it's course. And | feel
sure that this woman will pay the
penalty"
Miss Stone is being held without

THE DESERT

symbols OF EtefnlCy anu Uile
Infinite. The mountains, the
sea, and the desert. The
mountains bear a kindly hui
man relationship; they have
furnished since the begin
ming of time, food, drink and
Shelter to their children, VINO
besides, flee to their protec..
ting Businesses in times OF
peril. Their majesty and
grandeur are, it is true, awe
inspiring; but they are
nevertheless essentially hui
man.
The sea in it's linlitless ex-
panse likewise possesses the
attributes that make for sub
Unity. Likewise, too, it has
elements common to the ma
ture Of man; and in its
f1iendIier moods animates
his spirit with a longing and
desire for it's conpanlonshlp.
Even it's fiercer and more
terrible moments find re-
spouse in his heart.
But the desert is without
a single attribute in COM
anon with mankind. It's aW-
fulness of silence, it's dread
fulness of solitude, its utter
vn1relief of variety, its form
idable waste of lifeless ex-
panse,-these touch no chord
of sympathy in the human
breast. It may be for the
very this, that man feels his
flelplessness in its compelling
presence, and is thus con-
strained to search for a high
er power upon which he may
dean in his feebleness and
isolation. The necessity OF
worship is one of the pre-
conditions of human exist
ence. Prayer is the one in
despensahle craving of the
soul. The desert accentu-
ates this as no other earthly
Influence and brings Man
face to face with his
Maker.
Why, then, does the desert
exert it's ineXplicable fasd-
nation for men and women?
Why, having once dWelt
within it's fearful horizons
do they feel ever after its
awesome spell? Once having
its strange enchantment wo-
ven into their lives, why do
they feel this longing to re-
turn, this almost heart
breaking desire TO dwell
again amidst its nlonoton-
GUS solitudes?
Perhaps dhe only explana-
ton is this very fact Of COM
plete detachment from
everything human; Of near
ness 10 the Creator, and the
TIMETABLE consciousness OF
spiritual kinship to the Di-
vine First Cause! Certainly
The desert eXerts a fascina-
tion comparable to no other
phvsical creation. The cause,
we take it, must be attribut-
able tO some source deeper
than that of the impressions
created by the mountains
and the sea. And those, who
have experienced the absorb
ing spell of the desert, may
Gkn 10 think that the reason

"FRlEND2 MEETS WITH FRIEND"
Of That Spirit Is Born the Hospitality
Which Should Go With Thanks
~ giving Day.

Richest Of all the spirits Of Thanks
giving day is the spirit of friendly
hospitality. Preach about prosperity
and millions all you like, but certain
1t is that man and woman without
real old-fashioned friends is; poverty
stricken
Money will not buy friends. 1t does
attract beggars and parasites. Only
the sincere, honest heart makes friends
who will stand by one in the hour of
need, and warm one to hope and cour-
age in the time of trouble. They may
not have penny to their names, but
they have the richer treasure-friend-
ship.
And now, when you are thinking of
Thanksgiving day, remember the old
friends, those who live alone, whose
families are gone The turkey may
he too high priced, but table spread
in the spirit of feast will have mer-
riment and joy and turkey will not be
missed
Thanksgiving day is here Let us
try to revive it's spirit and hospital
ity and come together to cherish the
flowers Of friendship. Many there are
whose souls are dying in these days
OF unrest. There are no neighbors to
turn to, few friendly congregations
where everyone shares the joys and
sorrows of all. The fires on the altar
must be lighted afresh. Whatever the
task, let US do our parts gallantly, and
forget not acquaintances who are
struggling against the current and who
have seen better days.
Then the Thanksgiving day will he
a reality and a true festival in our
broad land of America, where with
freedom we are striving to maintain
the blessings of peace and equal op-
portunitieS for all.

/ The session Of the committee was
the only formal action of the confer

themselves and there was a conference
between Secretary Hughes, Arthur j.
Balfour and Admiral Baron ,Kato, re-
sDective heads of the American, Brit

All three declined to talk about the
meeting but the inference was drawn
that they had met to consider further
plans of procedure for the naval ar

three governments are the chief parti-

to avoid discussion Of detailed SUBJ

desire not to open up "closed, Incl
