of Martha Culver. She and Martha
seemed to have such a lot in common.
One day as she sat sewing, glanc-
ing from time to time at the picture, it
fell with a crash to the floor. The
cord by which 1t hung had given way.
Warrena, springing up to raise it,.
saw with dismay that the glass was
shattered. She also saw something
elsa folded paper that had evidently
been tucked into the back of the
frame.
Martha was speaking to her. She
realized that as she read the carefully
written lines addressed to HENS second
wife: II know Hem will marry again
and / know he'll get somebody young
and I know she'll have the same kind
of time with him had. He's terribly
tight; that's his worst fault. The
house will need fixing up and he won t
hear to spend a cent for it. But I'm
leaving some money for it. I got a lit

obey them. She found large brown

accomplishment of all the things she
wanted done.
An hour later she returned from
downtown with a new frame for Mar

fine wood, quite different from the
ugly gilt square with its tarnish and
flyspecks. When Hem came home

New Yorker Paid S2,500 to Defend Rum Men

New York, Feb. , Pl-From the unwilling lips of Leopold Bleich. a New York lawyer, the government today extracted the information that he was retained as counsel by Mayor Henry Wissell of Edgewater, N. J., one of 19 defendants in the Eker rum trial, in the presence of three other alleged leaders of the rum ring.
 The lawyer emphatically denied, however that Mayor Wissell asked the rum runners in his presence 10 pay the Jersey officials $2,500 re- tainer for him.
 Bleich repeatedly protested against | being forced to answer questi| IS about his connection with Mayor i Wissell, asserting that they con- prised an infringement of profess sional privilege.

 "No." Bleich shouted. Absolute ly mo-
 After further prodding by the prosecution and ruling by the court that he must answer, Bleich ac- knowledged that he had been retain ed by all four men at that same meeting.
 At this point Judge Meekins ruled that as the witness had established the relation of lawyer and client between himself and each of the men named and was therefore with in his professional privilege in re- fusing to answer. further question ing would not be permitted.
 Wissel was pictured as bungling grafter who didn't have the cour- age of his convictions.

make public his comment on Secre- tary kellogg's note in a few days.
 Hankow remained quiet today. The usual New Year festivities were notably lacking. There is a general feeling of. pessimism on all sides over the foreign situation.
 Chen Causes Delay
 London, Feb. 3 LP) - Refusal by the Cantonese foreign minister, Eugene Chen, to sign any agree ment fixing the future status of the British concessions at Hankow and Kiukiang unless the British dcsist from concentrating forces at Shanghai, while not alarming the British authorities, generally will delay the hoped for settlement of the complex Chinese problem. It was at Hankow and Kiukiang last month that the anti-British dem- nnstrations took on a serious as lect, leading to the decision of the British authorities to send rein torCcmcnts to China so as to be ready for any aggressions against foreigners particularly at Shanghai.
 Just what are the new instruc- ions forwarded to owen O'Malley, he British charge at Hankow, who IS conducting the negotiations with Chen. was not made public, but it is assumed that he will be able 10 continue his conversations on the basis of these instructions.
 One report is that the cabinet will soon discuss the possibility Of dcnccting the defense forces des- tined for Shanghai 10 the Singa- pore base. Hongkong or elsewhere. It is hinted also that an arrange mcnt may be made with the Chin ysc authorities permitting the British forces to remain at Shang- hai for n fixed period.
 The foreign office makes it clear that the recent general proposals dealing with the entire problem of China's relations with Great Brit ain do not figure in the rpesent negotiations with Chen; yet the officials see in the Cantonese lead CTS stand gesture Of his unwil- lingness to talk about the general proposals until there is an under standing on the troops question.
 The new instructions were dis patched to Charge OMalley last night after lengthy afternoon and evening sessions of the cabinet, summoned to consider the state of affairs brought on by the emphatic attitude of Chen.
