HARRISON LOOMS
AS SENATE LEADER
Started Campaign in 192r-
Fought Single Handed for
Months.

Washington, Nov. IS. Selection
of Democratic senator to succeed
Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama as
minority leader in the Senate is one
Of the most important matters to be
settled by the Democrats within the
next two weeks. Prominent among
those being mentioned as probable
successors to the brilliant Alabama
senator is Senator Pat Harrison Of
Mississippi, upon whose shoulders
has rested the burden Of the Demo-
cratic fight against the Republicans
during the past two years.
Senator Harrison began an aggres-
sive fight against the Republicans
at the beginning Of the 9th Con-
gress in 1921, when the Republican
administration came into office. He
fought single-handed for many
months in the face Of great odds, and
achieved nationwide reputation for
his remarkable ability to take ad-
vantage Of the slightest opportunity
to bring attention to the shortcom-
ings and broken promises Of the Re-
publican party. His vigilance in
the Senate caused him to be describ-
ed as 'The Thorn in the Republicans
Side.
The office of Senate Democratic
leader is one Of the highest and most
responsible positions in the Demo
cratic party. III health Of Senator

ment to retire as minority leader

McCOMB BOYS FREE
OF MURDER CHARGE
-Four White Youths Released at
Preliminary Trial for Slay-
ing Negro Woman.

Eddie Collins, John Leddy, Gerald
Patterson and Shrimp" Turner
school boys of McComb, and connect
ed with highly respected families
1were arrested by McComb officers
Sunday night and locked in the Nc
Comb jail on~a charge of numbering
Betty Butler, a young negro woman.
They were given a preliminary
hearing before Justices of the Peace
Gwin and Jones at McComb Tuesday
and discharged from custody, the
justices holding that the State had
failed to make. out case.
The facts in the case, as The Ga
zette learns them, were, substantial
ly, as follows:-
Betty Butler and another negress,
Louella Dickey, of about the same
age. were walking up the railroad
tracks north of the overhead bridge
in McComb. Several hundred feet
north of the overhead bridge, the
four boys above named accosted them
with an indecent remark, and an al
tercation between Betty Butler and
Collins ensued. According to Lou
ella Dickey's statement, Collins was
,, threatening Betty with knife when
one of the others started toward the
Dickey girl. whereupon she left the
scene as fast as she could run, not
stopping until she had found an Of
t1cer and reported the trouble to him.
officer Westbrook. of the McComb
police Department, at once went to
the place where the Dickey girl said
the alteration was occurring, and
about a hundred feet, more or less,
north of the bridge he found the dead
body of the Butler woman lying a.
cross the track with a bloody knife
clutched in her hands
The four boys were arrested at
their homes short while afterwards
and locked in the McComb jail,
where they remained until finally
discharged Tuesday afternoon.
On the preliminary hearing Tues
day, the State found itself without
an eye witness to the homicide, and
only the testimony Of the Dickey
negress connecting the defendants
with it any way.
Young Collins, testifying in his
own behalf, said that as he and his
companions we're coming down the
tracks they met the negro girls. and
the Butler negress brushed rudely
against him. That he resented the
insult and in the alteration which
followed, the woman drew a knife
and started on him. He had knife
in his pocket which opened with a
spring. and as the negress advanced,
he snapped it open and stabbed her.
She turned, he said. and ran down
the track, while he and his compan-
ions went hurriedly to their homes.
He denied that the knife in the hand
OF the dead woman was his, and said
that when he stabbed her he threw
the knife away. Collins story Of the
killing was corroborated by one Of
the other Observation-Disclosures Ca
zette.

 The Parrs?" commented Mrs Walden. Why, they're friends ot mine. They have a beautiful place very wealthy people.
 Strange circumstances" went on reading Garrick. "A girl and two men" Then he checked himself.
 Why that's like the affair over at Gerards the other night" supplied Mrs. Walden
 ming through her mind the simi- larity of the affairs, the coincidence of Ruths car on the Parkway near Smithtown, and her intimacy with the family. She did not say anything but ran through the short news story feverishly without finding anything further to feed her fears. But it was Had Ruth been mixed up in 1t?
 They found Glenn at the Cecil looking bit Jagged.
 Ruth, why. she's all right, Mrs. Walden" he hastened. Yes I heard something about an accident Just the steering gear went wrong. But she was quick enough to get from un- der and the car took the fence in- stead of up the bridge and off-at least that's what I heard
 They harried young Buckley with questions, bzut he was guarded. He protested that he know nothing more winding up again with the assurance, She's all right, though"
 But how do you know she's all right?" insisted Garrick.
 Be cause I was talking to Vira over the wire when I made the ap- pointment to meet her at the tea rooms of the Champs Elysees at three and she said she was. hat's all know"
 It seemed as though having de- livered hts assurance that Ruth was safe, Glenn was doing some rapid thinking on his own account How had they located him here at the Cecil? It was true that his family lived here in the winter, but the more he revolved it in his mind, the more suspicious of Garrick he be- came and he began to shut Up for fear of dropping another inadvertent remark like that about the Champs Elysees.

rick changed the subject as he brought out duplicate prints he had made. Whose is it? Do you hap pen to have any note or letter from Ruth ?"
 Dick could not avoid the poinb- blank inquiry. He pulled little note from his pocket. Inside the envelope was a dainty handkerchief. Garrick looked up with a question ing smile. Dick flushed. "A note from Ruth several weeks ago :" Then he stopped. He did not need to explain the dainty little bit of lace
 Garrick took the note and laid 1t down on the table beside the print. Then with a pencil he began not ing in formation of letters, the capi- tals. score of little characteristics.

Dick scowled Garrick tapped the table absent mindedly with his fln- ger.
 Then suddenly each looked up and caught the eyes of the other.
 Paging Miss Ruth Walden from the Sea .vamp. Meet me in the Pink Room tonight, Jack"
 The dots and dashes ceased. Bzzzzz Buzz-zz-zz. Then the solo started again.
 Garrick looked into the mirror which gave him a reflection of Glenn and Vira. They had got 1t, too. The dots and dashes had meant only in- terruption to most in the room. To two people they were message. To two others they were a mystery.
 A few moments later. Glenn paid the check and the two rose to go. Garrick hastily did the same.

 What had happened? Garrick tried 10 be reassuring. but Nita Walden would not be reassured.
 This is another mad escapade of Ruth and Nira. suppose . and who else? What can Ruth be thinking about"
 Garrick took down the telephone receiver and called a Bryant num- Der. Dick glanced over quickly. It was a number he had seen in the hallway of the Inner Circle and had made a mental note Of. Evidently Garrick had done the same.
 This is Glenn Buckley's brother" he prevaricated. "Is he there? We'll. do you know where l can call hin, You think he's at the Cecilo Thank you"
 Garrick turned. without betraying where it was he had called. They're some friends of his. I thought per- haps Glenn might give us some in- formation. Suppose, Nita. you have Mckay drive us over to the Cecil. It's on Park Avenue.
 They were rounding the Grand Gen. tral and caught in traffic when Gar rick suddenly beckoned over news boy and bought a couple of evening papers.

 T think I'm getting 8 line on Ruth,' he said in a tone to reassure Dick. She's a game .bird-but she flies funny"
 There was a pause. The concert number was now solo, Loves Old Sweet: Song"
 Neither said a word. Dick was mechanically folding up the letter, re- storing the handkerchief in the enye- lope, and handing back the print to Guy. .t
 They sat for moment as the words, clear, tender, distinct, trans ferred Hertzian waves into waves of emotion:
 Suddenly ah-h-h Bizz-zz- z-zz Buzz zZ-ZZ-zz.

 Glenn looked more troubled.
 Garrick drew Dick over toward the news stand just in time to pre- vent their being seen following.
 "So Jack Curtis has come in again." ground out Dick.

 Don't worry. Just keep busy. See

 Glenn had not been such a bad guesser It was nearly three when Garrick and Dick sauntered into the lobby of the Champs Elysees, looked about cautiously, and proceeded to get under cover.
 Before the tea room on the meg zanine floor hung a sign: Radio Concerts Daily" They nosed in, saw that the coast was clear, and selected table in an angular corner, with a mirror so placed that it was verita- ble periscope.
 An orchestra in Newark was broadcasting some selection as they sat down at the table and ordered tea and crnmpets.
 It was not more than sixty sec onds after three that they saw Glenn come in. looking pale and tired, se- lect a table at the other end of the room and drop into a chair facing the entrance.
 Ten minutes later vira hustled in. exicted and angry about something ed her, all animation, now that girl was in question.
 Few things are more fascinating than listening to radio phone con- cert. Someone turns the tuning handle of the receiving set. Short and long buzzes following each other in a lazy sort of way indicate some anna teur telegrapher at work.
 The tuning handle is turned a little more and peculiar moaning sound is heard. Turned still more the sound becomes a weak voice or music. A final turning of the handle brings in the radiophone loud and clear. The tuning is exceedingly sharp.
 It is fascinating ordinarily. but there were four people at opposite ends of the room for whom this con- cert had no interest.
 Garrick and Dick, watching and wondering what to do. had fallen into a discussion of Ruth and Vira and Garrick was taking a cruel delight 1 in sounding Dick
 To his serious mind, Dick con- fessed. it was just this vivacious type of Ruth that had for him the l greatest attraction. As he put it. an | intellectual girl would have been merely intensifying his own nature.
 Garrick was urging him on and de- | ivering a little scientific homily on | wise old nature that brought to- | yether the dssimilar and averaged | hem.
 There was no approval of the but eray and the candle in Dick, how ever, and they were soon into dis ,ussion of Rae and the evident dissipation she showed.
 "One does not readily think of girls sowing wild oats," remarked sarrick. Yet they often do. This is ,ne of the strange anomalies of the lew freedom of women"
 Dick drowned as he thought of the |lamor of the life they had seen at he Inner Circle. What the end of t all might be. he evidently pre- erred not to guess. At least he did lot pursue the subject
