Late in the evening interference made itself felt to some extent.
 
 skinny, that bright young fellow up at WTIC, told us a story about Horatio Alger Saturday night. a story which was eagerly listened 10 by the Gang at the studio. Alger's stories for boys used to be about tho most popular books there were and ailhough he wrote over 70 books. we believe we had them all at one t'ine' They all ended happily and the poor boy after overcoming -rcncn- | dous obstacles, got rich. The story told Saturday night shed some light oh how Algcr first got the idea Of i hrlping the poor boys. He became q munster in later life and devoted q great deal Of his time to aiding The youths who had little or nothing. skinny told the yarn in his usual ex- ceIlcnt style and he patiently waited while "Jill" or William Gus" inter- 1 rupted with humorous remarks. !

LONDON TIMES IS
 WAXING CRITICAL
RebukeS Churchill for Replying
 to Senator BOrah

London, July 27 The action of Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, In retorting to a state ment by Senator Borah concerning the Anglo American debt settlement, has drawn an editorial rebuke from the London Times. The paper strongly condemns the Irregular, protracted and aimless controversy" between the two countries on the debt question.
 The Times asserts that plain speaking, evenupon such q delicate subject, Is not harmful as long as proper proportions are observed. Tt may even do good" the paper continues, If 1t reminds the Ameri- can people that the British attitude on war debts differs in some essen- tials from that expressed in the policy of their own government. What is utterly futile, intolerable and even dangerous is to let seri- ous discussion degenerate into bandying of words, a fusillade of mutual recriminations. MT. Church i'll has now gone so far as to make public retort to one of Senator Bor- ah's tirades. When things reach that point, 1t is really necessary 10 call a halt"
 The gist of the Times editorial is that the British debt to the Unit ed States has been settled on the only terms possible and that there is no good in trying to go back on the agreement. Asserting that there is new dread of instability passing over Europe, the paper adds: This is the very worst moment for the two nations which have vindicated their stability to undermine by petty controversy the basis of practical agreement by which they mutually assure their prestige and marshal their joint forces and resources for the benefit of a world in great dis tress.
 Senator Borah's statement, to which Chancellor Churchill made reply yesterday, said that the chan cellor was conducting a campaign of vilification" against the United States to brand the latter as Uncle Shylock" and designed to secure can cellation of the war debt. Chancel- Tor Churchill said that he invited the senator to quote any passage from any speech or written statement of his justifying such complaint.

PROBE DONATIONS IN INVESTIGATION
Illinois Primary Fails to Develop
 Many New Facts

Chicago, July 27 Addressing for more information about expenditures on behalf of Senator William B. Nc Kinley in the Illinois primary, the senate campaign funds committee sought today to develop the facts about donations made by the sena- tor to churches, schools and colleges.
 Chester A. Willoughby secretary to the senator, who was defeated for the republican senatorial nomination by Frank L. Smith, said such dona- tions were made, but denied that these this year had exceeded for the preceding year or the year before that.
 'The senator made general dona- tions for which he allowed so much a year." Willoughby said.
 DO you know of a donation to a colored institution in Chicago dur ing the campaign" Chairman Reed asked.
 T don't know"
 The witness said he knew the senator had sent a donation to Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama, but did not know the amount.
