some real honest-to-goOdness food.
How about that steak you were going
to have for dinner and some potatoes.
I'm as hungry as bear"
I slipped into a l1imOna and went
into the kitchen to prepare the late
repast and as l busted myself about
the various tasks l could not help but
be amazed at the thought that, as far
as Curtiss was concerned the party
had not been bowling success.
A hungry LOthariO!
Letitia would have been disillusiOn-
ed if she could have seen him as l
saw him at that moment sitting at
the BREAKFAST table in bath robe and
sslippers-eatin with the keen appe-
tite of a wolf. Letitia with her scOTn-
full attitude towards food which she
considered prosaic!
She had declared that all they had
in the car was a thermOs bottle of
cocktails, which, as far as she was
concerned, was a guarantee OF an eX-
cellent time, but CurtiSs had no great
liking for any alcoholic drink and al
though she had evidently insisted that
he take a few, they had probably only
served to increase his healthy appe-
tite for a good, substantial meal.
I began to hum little tune. | wa!
preparing food for Curtiss-foOd thai
would make him happy and soOth'
his tired nerves-he was dependen
upon me at that moment and needle,
me more than Letitia Evans with al
her sillv chatter about "uninterest

1 wondered why they had change
cars. Why hadn't they returned l
Bill Gillepie's car as they had start
ed out? And why, if Curtiss ha
been so ravenously hungry, had n
not insisted on coming home befoT
3 o'clock?
Was it because, to have done 81
would have revealed the real Curtis
and greatly reduced him in Letitia
dream-ridden eyes?
Gosh! Food helpSp was all Curtis
said as l poured him a second gla'
of rich and icy milk.
I hoped that it would also relieV
his conscience which, from his III
happy expression, believed was n
perfectly at rest. There wefre a do

Intuitively I knew that he woJ

Estate IS GUARDING
| ITS STAR WITNESS
Threats Against Life of Mrs.
WiSeman-SieIaff Cause
Move for Safety.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, October 13.--
Threats against the life of Mrs. Lor-
ra.ine Wiseman-Sielaff, star State
witness and principal accuser Of
Aimee Semple Mcpherson in the
evangelist's preliminary hearing on
conspiracy charges, caused the State
to maintain a guard about the Wise
man home today in an effort to assure
completion of her testimony.
Mrs. Wiseman, who occupied the
witness stand when the hearing was
adjourned Monday until today, testi-
fed Mrs. Mcpherson asked her to
produce false characters to support a
story Of abduction and hardShipS Suf-
fered at the hands of kidnaperS last
May and June. Mrs. Wiseman de-
clared the Angelus Temple pastor
told her she was particularly anxious
to have her produce a woman who
would admit sharing a cottage at
Carmel-by-theS Sea with Kenneth G..
Ormiston, former temple radio op-
orator, during the time Mrs. McPher-
son was missing.
Threat Source Unrevealed.
Extra precautions for Mrs. Wise
mans safety were taken on account
of renewed threats against her life
as a result of her testimony Monday.
Detectives were assigned to guard her
home yesterday, when her attorney,
S. S. Hahn, asked for protection. He
did not reveal the source of the
threats. Hahn also said that Mrs.
Wiseman, co-defendant with Mrs. Nc
Pherson; her mother, Mrs. Minnie
Kennedy, Ormiston and two others
had not been promised immunity for
testifying for the State.
When court adjourned Monday Mrs.
Wiseman had told but part of her
story, based on recent confession
to District Attorney Asa Keyes. Her
testimony today is expected to cover
the part Of her confession in which
she declared she had been coached
for her role in the Carmel plot. KeyeS
has announced he intends to prove by
her testimony that Mrs. Mcpherson
occupied the cottage for 10 days In
May, when the evangelist says she
was held captive in a northern Mex
leo dessert shack.
State detectives yesterday continued
the search for Ormiston, who diSap-
peared a short time after first inves-
tigation of the evangelist's disappear
ance was started. Ormiston, object of
a nationwide search in the second
and third Investigations, was reported
near Santa Ana, 80 miles southwest
Of here yesterday. Investigation,
however, failed to show traces of the
radio man.
Search for the mysterious "Mr. Mar
tin" who Mrs. Wiseman says, en-
ployed her to produce the fictitious
characters, also remained unsuccess-
full. Martin, she declares, told her he
was going to frame" the story and
told her the details Of the entire plot.
Mrs. Mcpherson and her mother re-
manned away from Angelus Temple
yesterday, having gone to the sea-
shore for a rest, The tabernacle was
dark last night while evangelistic
services were conducted by students
in the adjoining Bible school building.

BUS LINE TO REPAIR
OLD CAR TERMINAL
Machines Will Be Stored in Former
Capital Traction Com
pany Barn.

The Washington Rapid Transit Co.
is planning to remodel the basement
floor of the car barn of the Capital
Traction Co. at Fourteenth and De-
catur streets for use as a terminal
and repair shop. E. d. Merrill, pres
ident and general manager, has re-
ported to the Public Utilities Com
mission.
The busses are now being stored
on a vacant lot the company owns at
Arkansas avenue and Buchanan
street. and Mr.. Merrill explained to
the commission that 1t would be in
the interest of economy and better
service to keep them indoors. The
cost of remodeling the barn is esti-
mated at approximately $4,000.
After alterations the company will
lease the space for five years at a
rental of $3.50 a year.
The company's plans are being con-
sidered by the commission at an
executive session today. Attaches of
the commission, however. are of the
opinion that it would be more eco
nomical for the company to build its
own terminal and shop on the prop
erty il owns. pointing out that the
Washington. Bancroft and Alexandria
Bus Co. is constructing a storage
terminal at Potomac, Va, at cost
of approximately $4,000.

Boy Scouts by Hitch-Hiking" Reduce
To 50 Each Cost of Trip to Washington

Col. E. A Greene, commander of
marines at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
made a special trip to Washington
to start the boys on the second leg
Of the race.
Hitch hiking may satisfy a boys
love Of adventure, but is not likely to
become very general among Boy
Scouts, it was stated at the local
headquarters, since picking up rides
Is strictly against Scout regulations.
At the Marine Barracks, where
the boys were entertained, it was
stated that they left Brooklyn with
definite rules prescribed. They start
ed walking together with the idea Of
picking up rides as soon as possible.
They could not ask for rides, however.
The passing notor1st had to volunteer
to take them.
They were obliged to pass through
Philadelphia and Baltimore, the only
places where they could buy food

MARGATE. England. October Ia
Foremost leaders of British trade
unionism yesterday frankly admitted
that they were 80 busy on problems
brought within their own Industries
by the general strike last May that
they had little material aid to give the
miners in their lon-draWn-out strug-

them, as As 900 of them have not re-
turned to work since May l, and 20O,-

good counsel.

A resolution finally was adopted by
the executives applauding the miners
magnificent resistance and denounc-
ing the governments "abject sur
