her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy,
had listened to Mrs. Sielaff and
sought to give her an opportunity TO
verify her statements about the Car

representing the temple, had refused
to approve, or sanction Mrs. Sielaff,
or her activities.

"Then they asked me to bring this
little lady known as Miss X over.
Judge Bardin asked ME if she was the
lady who was at Carmel. She stated
she was. She also, while there, gave
me an affidavit to that effect"
KeyeS Gives Lie
Mrs. Seilaff next told of another trip
to Los Angeles and of a visit to the
, office of District Attorney Asa Keyes.
She said she had several interviews
with the district attorney. Keyes, she
said, made repeated requests for her
to produce Miss X' after making
promises and disappointing Keyes on
several occasions, Mrs. Seilaff stated,
the district attorney told her frankly
thar he did not believe her story.
"While in San Francisco / had to
have some money Immediately, and
called on the telephone a Mrs. Frame
asking her to get in touch with Mrs.
Kennedy to wire me $50. Within a

same as the amount of the reward they
offered. They spoke of paying $4,000,
which led me to believe that was the
amount of the reward for the finding
of the shack"
The statement was signed Lorraine
Wiseman," the name by which Mrs.
Seilaff was known here.
Writes OrmistOn
In her supplemental affidavit, Mrs.
Seilaff told of the part played by Ken
meth G. Ormiston. About eight or ten
days ago. she stated, Mrs. Kennedy
sent an air mail letter to Ormiston at
Chicago. Mrs. Seilaff said she enclosed
one written by herself in which she
requested Ormiston to write or come
/ and corroborate the statements that
have been made" She said the letters
were addressed in care of a Chicago
attorney named Martin. Mrs. Kennedy
halso talked with Martin over long dis
tance, according to Mrs. Seilaff. Her
affidavit read in part as follows:
Mrs sKeKnnedy told me Ormiston
would be very glad to confirm these
statements and be very happy to know
that 1 had come forward to do this At
times when we talked she would tell
me things to say to remember in case
anybody asked me if 1 had seen Mr..
Benedict (owner of the Carmel cot
tage). She also told me of several
things around the house and told me
to tell them. I could not have known
these things unless she had told me
about them.
Mrs. Mcpherson, Mrs. Kennedy and
Woolley had me go to a handwriting
expert. He took sample of my hand
writing and upon going to his office
to see what the outcome of it was, he
stated that there was no question, the
handwriting was not mine, but he was
positive it was Mrs. McPherson's and
that it was deadly weapon to her and

White, a fundamentalist, declares
the theatre of conflict between ma

is the copernican system.
"The copernican system was raised

The trick bidder seems to be flourish
ing lately, for number OF hands have
been submitted as examples of the value
of trick bids. These may be all right TOR
the gambling type of players but the
writer prefers the sound, conventional
bids, bids that really inform. There is
no system of bidding that can hold its
own with system that gives exact in
formation at all times, information that
really informs. The bidding, if conven-
tional, should mirror" ones hand to
ones partner. 1t should give informa-
ton that will enable partner to act in
telligently in his subsequent bidding.
The goal of all bidding at auction is to
arrive at the best bid of the combined
hands, that is the best bid of twenty
six cards, not of thirteen. A player who
uses trick bids may confuse his op-
ponents occasionally but in the long
run, he loses more by loss of faith of his
partner in the soundness of his bids,
than he can possibly gain by his trick
bidding. A partnership to be successful,
either in business or auction, must be
founded on mutual trust and confidence.
For that reason, be reliable at all times.
Let your bids mean what you say:
Every advertised feature sacred
pledge" is not only a good motto for
business men but also for auction play
ers. Learn the conventional bids and
stick to them Be reliable, first, last and
all the time.
In the following hand, the tricky
bidder won out but his gain on that
hand has more than been Offset by loss
of confidence of his partner. There
nothing in these trick bids in the long
run so keep away from them. The ex-
ample is given more as a warning than
as a model to follow.

Capper-J Johnson
Bill Is Sailing
Under False Name
COnscriptiOn of Capital Is Moth
ing But Regulation

Washington, ID. C.-The Cap
per-Johnson bill, now pending in
congress, and which is alleged to
call for the transcription Of cap
ital and labor" is nothing Of the
kind, according to views eX-
pressed by Secretary of the
Navy Wilbur, as stated in a local
newspaper.
"Secretary Wilbur is inclined to
think" it is said, "that a constitu-
tional am~cdment would be necessary
to enable the president in time OF
war to commander materials at less
Than the market price"
This sustains the position of op
ponents of the bill-that it does not
"conscript' capital. Instead, it pro
vides for the regulation Of prices in
"an emergency" while it empowers
the president to conscript the ma
lions man power.
Military experts agree that a
country's material resources are part
of the national defense, but under the
Capper-Johnson bill these resources
will be accorded different treatment
from the country's man power. The
dollar will be assured its interest
rates and a reasonable" profit. EX-
cept the prohibition of wild profiteer-
ing, there will be no change in the
attitude toward capital, while the hu-
man portion of the nations resources
will be seized and marched off to tn
tlrst line trenches.
Friends of this system call it "con-
scription of labor and capital"
One administration spokesman Is
so enthusiastic he makes this unsup-
ported statement: "If wealth knew
that conscription of wealth was cel-
tain, there would be little momentum
from that quarter of entering war"
