Slashing Attack on G. O. P. for

CHICAGO, Ill, September 19.-John
W. Davis has returned from the West
a crusader. Many persons did not be-
lieve that he could so transform him
self from a suave, amiable gentleman
into the crusading type, but howllng
enthusiastic thousands who crowded
the Stockyards Auditorium here last
night gave evidence that Mr.. Davis
not only could make, but has made,
the metamorphosis.
His new reputation as a two-fisted
fighting campaigner had reached
Chicago before him. 1t was differ
ent reception the democracy here ac-
corded him fpom that of couple of
weeks ago. Bands, a police escort, a
visit to Mayor Dever, a throng at the
railroad station and along his line of
march told the story of the change.
Teapot Sign Gives Hint.
If he needed a reminder of his text,
the gaudy signs of the Teapot Dome
Restaurant" directly opposite the
entrance to the County Building used
by Mr.. Davis. and the flaming Sin

on Michigan avenue as he left the

Since the beginning of the cam

Mr. Davis stood somewhere between

POISONING OF wife
DENIED BY MINISTER
Death of Man Also Being Probed.
Pastor Blames Gossip
for Arrest.
By the Associated Press.

MOUNT VERNON, ILL.,. September
19.-Hours of questioning had failed
today to shake the compoSure of Rev
Lawrence Hight of Ina, near here,
arrested yesterday after chemist
reported finding poison in the stom-
ach of Mr.. Hight's wife, who died
September II.
The eXhumation of the body of
Wilf6rd Sweetin of Ina, who died un-
eXpectedly about two months ago,
has been completed and the stomach
sent to Chicago for an analysis. The
death of Sweetin, who left a widow,
was under somewhat similar circum-
stances to that of the minister's wife,
officers said. 1t was this similarity
and gossip, the States attorney said,
that caused him to order the stomach
of Mrs. Hight analyzed.
Rev. Mr.. Hight reiterated today
that he was innocent, and declared
his present plight was due to unfor-
tunate circumstances and to gossip.
The body of the minister's wife
will be exhumed to make more
complete examination. A separate
investigation has been started by Of
ficers of the church of which Mr..
Hight is a member.
Rev. Hight was married 26 years
ago and has been a minister for 80
years. He has three children.

REDFLAG "TOSTAY"
ON WRANGE[L ISLE
Soviet Officials Satisfied
Over Success of Expedition
and Hold Dispute Ended.


MOSCOW, September 19.-Soviet Of
ficials express satisfaction over the
success of the expedition on the armed
transport krasny Oktiabr CRed Octo-
ber) in planting the red flag on
Wrangeu Island, off northern Siberia,
taking formal possession in behaf OF
the Soviet republic.
They believe this action will settle
the status of the island, which mas
been in dispute for more than half
century, rejecting the suggestion that
final adjudication should be referred
to the League of Nations. with the
declaration that both historically and
ethnically the island belongs to Russia.
They regard it as an important base
for a wireless station and depot of
supplies in the event of war.
Russian Rights Recognized.
1t now develops that Great Britain
recognized Russia's right to the island
in the recent negotiations in London.
The dispatch of the armed transport,
bearing a company of infantry, i'm
mediately followed this agreement.
Although the SovietS have never had
the opportunity of surveying and ap-
praising the resources of the island
the government is prepared to lease
it to Americans or others for develop
ment provided Russia is given an ade-
quate participation in the revenues.
A good part of Wrangell Island is
barren, but other portions produce ex-
cellent furS and fish. 1t also has a
certain potential value in the event
of the laying of an intercontinental
railway between America and Asia.

n. B.-The kiss is incidental
For woman, until she is a grand
mother, and sometimes longer, clings
to romance as an essential part of
love. Nothing eclipses her love.
But man, after brief time in which
love is all the world to him, takes up
again the thread of his old life.
Business once more becomes the
center of his life But there is a diff
ference in his attitude toward it. Bust
ness now represents to him the means
of giving his wife and, later. his chill
'dren, as many comforts and luxuries
as possible. That is how he shows
his love.
His wife, however longing for ro-
mantle love. fails to appreciate this.
