MAN MAKES LOVE, THEN ROBS
WIDOW OF $4,000 IN JEWELS

Philadelphia, July 25.-Three Phil
adelphians, guests at one of the most
fashionable hotels in Atlantic City,
over the Saturday-toWedne
fourth of July holidays, have altered
their opinions of fourth member OF
their party, a well-dressed, dapper
young man who insisted on paying the
bills, who entertained with lavish
hand and who declared that only the
best of everything was good enough
for his friends
When the long, thoroughly enjoy
able holiday was over and the party
returned to this city, Mrs. Frances B.
Ramp, an attractive brunette in the
thirties, discovered that diamonds
worth $4,000 had been stolen from the
offices of S. X. Ramp & Co., jewellers
in the Burd Building, the affairs of
which Mrs. Ramp has been directing
S.nce the death of her husband, Simon
r. KamD. founder of the firm.
Mrs. Ramp attempted to communi-
cate with the man who had enter
tanned her in Atlantic City. In the
time she had known him she had come
to feel that he was a real friend, and
she believed that he could help her.
But when she telephoned the hotel
where he had been living here in the
finest of style, and asked for +. A.
Stanley. he was not to be found She
was informed that he had disappear
ed. leaving behind him, unpaid a two
weeks hill for accommodations in
one of the best rooms in the house.
The bag which had contained the dia
monds was found in his room.
Mrs. Ramp has not seen Stanley
since the party in Atlantic City. nor
has he sent her any word regarding
a $4,000 loan from Mrs. Ramp.

SENATOR FRANCES POPULARITY

Discussion of Senator France, his
policies and his personality, has not
been restricted to his home state by
any means, but has been widespread
throughout the country. The Brook Ign
Eagle, one of the leading newspapers
of the land, recently printed an inter
esting article on Senator France from
Henry Suydam, its Washington cores
pOndent. who served for some time
as public intelligence man for the
State Department. Among other things
it stated the following:
The minority habit Of mind, if per-
sisted in, becomes a kind OF querulous
opposition to all that is popular, nor
NAL and right. 1t leads. in most polit-
zeal cases, to ruin and disaster in
stead OF to martyrdOm and glory. Take
for example, the case of Joseph Irwin
France. senior Senator from Maryland
the one man in the United States
who voted against ratification of the
treaty for limitation of naval arma-
ment. Senator France is mildman-
nered gentleman who sits in the back
row of Republican seats in the upper
house. He wears brown suit and an
expression of rather amused con-
tempt. He is 40 years old and his
term in the United States Senate ex-
pires on March 3, 1928. lie is, there
fore, one of the unfortunate one-third
which is up for reelection this year
The safest of all political forecasts
is Senator Frances defeat. AS a self
appointed champion of an amorphous
minority he appears TO have arrived
nowhere"
Senator France had not been long
in office before he began to give evil
dence of insurgency. He began to
give EXPRESSION to notions and theo-
ries which no good Republican and
few good Democrats really ought to
mention. He began to write prescrip-
tiOns for diseases not generally spoken
of in decent party politics; he describ-
ed social symptoms that made the
Senate shudder. His office in Washing
ton soon began to take on the appear
ance of a consulting-room for mala-
dies in the body polite Those who
were in the worst pain-the Maryland
Republicans-were not among DR..
Frances patients. His technique had
ruined them, and the nostrums in his
pharmacopoeia affected them as an
emetic."

DOES BYERS DEFY PRESIDENT
HARDING!

Maxwell c. Byers, president of the
Western Maryland Railway, Satur-
day said that railroad has not agreed
to give up its repair contracts and
has no intention of taking this &C
ton"
President Harding's program for
settling the railroad strike calls for
abandoning the farming out of repair
work contracts by the railroads. 1t is
said that several of the railroads have
agreed. Mr. Byers said he had not
been approached by any Federal au-
thorities concerning this part of
President Harding's program.
He could see no possible reason for
adopting any other system of having
the work done, he said, when the
present method had passed unchal-
lenged by the representatives of the
strikers at the Western Maryland
Railway hearing before the Federal
Labor Board. tg

Nearly 100 persons are still in pris-
on for war law violations. In explain
ing his opposition to general amnesty,
the President is said to have taken
the position that all cases were not on
an equal footing, as some of the per-
sons convicted were charged with ad-
vocacy of violence. The Executive was
quoted as having remarked that he
was deeply sympathetic with those
still serving sentences and their fam
lilies. but could not permit his heart
TO dictate a policy that would result
in liberation of all prisoners at one
time.
While the delegation waited on the
President, number of women pick
eted the west end of the White House
grounds with banners calling on the
President to take action.
Later in the day, the White House
issued the following statement on the
visit of the delegation seeking amnes-
ty:
Replying to a delegation seeking
general amnesty for all political
prisoners, the President stated that he
could not bring himself to grant gen.
eral amnesty until he knew that all
prisoners held under the war act had
only committed strictly war offences:
that lie was giving consideration to
the cases: that he had instructed the
of Justice to expedite re-
ports in all these cases; but that he
would never, as long as he was Pres
ident, pardon any criminal who was
guilty of preaching the destruction of
the Government by force

NEW BRIDE WEEPS
OVER HIS ARREST
SPEEDING EAST, WINIFRED HUD-
NUT TELLS REPORTERS SHE
LOVES HIM "FOREVER."

Chicago, May 20.-Winifred Hudnut
whose marriage to Rudolph Valentino
in MeXicali, Mex, has resulted in
charges OF bigamy against the moving
picture star, reached Chicago today en-
route to her home in New York, with
pledge OF love for Valentino on her
lips and tears in her eyes when she
heard the latest news of the screen
idol.
All the way on her long trip from
the West she steadfastly refused to
discuss the case with scores of news
paper reporters who boarded the train
at almost every station, or who were
already on it when it started, but at
the last moment, when some one sug-
gested that her silence might result in
misjudgment of Valentino and asked
her if she loved him, her lips formed
one word-"forever."
Then she resumed her attitude of
silence.
Persons on the train said she told
them she would never, never, leave
Rudolph" and planned to return to
him, but Miss Hudnut herself would
say nothing to this effect to the re-
porters.
Miss Hudnut sent Valentino nine
kilograms and a special delivery let
ter during the trip here. She received
y kilograms from him. Phrases such
as bushels of love- don't worry,
everything will be alright" love you
so much" and your darling sweet
heart" abounded.
To several Miss Hudnut signed the
word "Bambino," Italian for baby.
At times she cried, at others she
! laughed. as the reporters pleaded with
her to talk, but most of the time she
sat looking wistfully at an open book
on her lap. Part of the trip was spent
| in cutting pictures of Valentino out OF
magazines and papers.
