 The story is told. very briefly. fin the annual report Of the home which has Just come off the press.
 Forty-two years ago a person re- siding in a foreign country came into possession Of a small sum of money through dishonest methods. The act worried him. He never lived 1t down. All through the years he carried with him the spectre of this one act of dishonesty.
 He crossed the ocean and came 10 America. But one cannot escape ones conscience. The memory of this act of his youthful days fol- lowed him across the broad Atlantic. Finally after 42 years of mental torture he could stand 1t no long CT. He surrendered to his better self, and wrote letter to the com- pany he had swindled. When the officials of that concern recovered from their shock. they realized 1t was too late to call in Old Man Diogenes with his gasoline lamp. What could they do? Here. indeed was the one honest man in the world. We appreciate your writing us," they told him.

companions in the giant hydroair
plane Santa Maria. Not since the
report that De Pinedo hoped off near
San Luis de Caceres, in the State of
Matto Crosse, Brazil. Thursday after
noon supposedly for Manaos,s ] 300
miles away, has anything been heard
from him.
Aviation experts here, including
Hector Peretti, representative of the
factory in Italy where the Santa
Maria was built, said they had no
misgivings as to the safety Of the
craft and it's crew.
The possibility of not hearing from
the flyers for some time had been
forecast before De Pinedo started the
flight because of lack of communica-
ton. When he penetrated the jungles
the route to his destination was over
the River of Doubt, discovered by
Theodore Roosevelt, and across great
swamps covered with dense vegeta-
ton and reeking with mud deep
enough to swallow the plane If 1t fell.
Signor Peretti today was of the be-
lief that the aviators were at the

tions for a flight to Qua jara- Miren,

COFF'EYVILLE, Kans.. March 19.--
National Guard sentries, scores of
broken windows and a damaged city
hall today was the only remaining
evidence OF the race riot here last
night, In which four persons were In.
jured when mob OF more than 1900
persons attempted to remove negro
from the local Jail.
Four men were under arrest on
charges of looting hardware store.
The negro sought by the mob, after
his arrest in connection with an at.
tack on two high school girls, was
free and county and military authori-
ties were confident there would be no
repetition of mob activity.
Suspect Is Released.
The negro, Curtis Smith, was re-
leased when officials said they did not
have enough evidence to hold him.
Neither girl could identify him as one
of the attackers.
Two other negroes, arrested with
Smith, were freed yesterday when
they satisfied officers they did not
participate in the attack.
w. d. McCrabb, sheriff Of Montgom-
cry County, announced that three ne
groes answering the description given
by the girls were under arrest in
Humboldt, Kans., and would be ques-
toned today.
City officials declared their inten-
ton of starting an investigation of
the mob, and friends of one of the in
jured men declared a damage suit
would be filed against the city imme-
diately under the Kansas mob law,
which holds the city responsible for
mob violence.
1000 i'm Crowd.
Three men constitute a mob under
the law and there were virtually 1000
men, women and children about the
City Hall when three attempts were
made to take Smith from the officers.
Every window in the City Hall was
broken out when bricks, rocks and
other missiles were hurled at the en-
trenched officers. Smith was taken
from room to room in the hall and
finally was showed into a cupola while
the sheriff invited the mob to search
the buildings.

JOPLIN, Mo-, March 19.--More than
score of persons We're killed and at
least so injured, many severely, by
tornadoes and high winds, which
swept southwestern Missouri and
northwestern Arkansas last night.
Sixteen were known dead, IL were
reported missing and 80 were injured
at Green Forest, Ark, by tornado,
which wrecked the business district
and devastated nearby farms. Fire
followed the tornado, destroying a
canning factory and several houses.
Nine were reported killed at Den
veg, Ark, village about II miles
northeast of Green Forest, which is
100 miles south of here.
Property Damage Heavy.
Two persons were injured and build
ings were damaged by a tornado near
Marshfield, in Webster County, Mo.
Hail and high winds also damaged
buildings and crops in Howell and
Oregon counties.
Reports indicated losses would run
heavy throughout the Green Forest
district. Special trains were en- route
to the area today. carrying doctors,
nurses and supplies.
The storm apparently centered at
Green Forest, where upwards or 10o
houses and stores were destroyed or
badly damaged. Streets We're filled
with debris, which hampered rescue
crews.
Two churches were converted into
dressing stations and one later was
designated as a morgue. Sixteen bod
les had been recovered early today.
AS the storm severed power lines
as we'll as telephone and telegraph
wires, the rescuers stumbled about
with lanterns, tracing the cries of
injured or marking spots where
people were believed pinned or buried
by stone and timbers.
School House Demolished.
Persons arriving at Eureka Springs,

Forest, said the Missouri & North

tary school house and bank building
were among structures virtually
demolished.

CHERRY BLOSSOMS
MAKE 1927 DEBUT
Warnings of Pessimistic
Weather Forecasters Dis
regarded by Buds.

With Spring in the offing and
entirely unmindful of bad weather
warnings by pesimistic weather fore
casters, Washington cherry blossoms
made their 1897 debut today-with
whimsical suddenness and becoming
modesty that startled officialdom and
citiZenry alike.
Yesterday the trees seemed almost
ready to burst into bloom, but observ-
ers scarcely let themselves believe
that the big event actually was at
hand. The warm ministrations of
kindly sun and tropic-like zephyrs,
however, stirred the infant buds to
break their final bonds of restraint,
and almost overnight they Jared forth
with their message that the season
of romance is here.
Officials Prepare for Rush.

blossoms took them rather by sur

the blooms would appear this season
earlier than usual. due to the excep-
tionally mild weather.

President Coolidge believes that the
taxpayer, just recovering from the
worry of filling out an income report,
stands a good chance of having his
obligations to the Government reduced
before this job is tackled again next
year.
He feels that the estimated Treasury
surplus, probably in excess of $780,
000,0 900 for the present fiscal year end
ing June 80, would warrant a pairing
of revenue rates by Congress unless
some unforeseen contingency should
arise.
The Presidents view, made known
at the White House yesterday, is
based on the recent prediction by Sec
retary Mellon that the Governments
income would run about half a billion
dollars above its expenditures. The

1t is known here that Jugoslayia has
been making hasty war preparations
in the last few months. Large guam
titles of arms and ammunition have
been purchased in western Europe,
and the recent trip of King Alexander
to Bucharest is said to have been due,
not to desire to see his father-in.law,
King Ferdinand, but to counter the
effect of Italy's recognition of the an

surance of Rumania's friendly neu-
trality in case of an Italo-Jugoslav
conflict.
Hope Pinned on Publicity.
Tt Is hoped the wide publicity given
this brewing conflict will avert trou-

reliably reported the Serbs are con-
tinuing to mass large forces on the AL
