The leading officials, soon after it
was decided to build the History bank
building opposite the History office
building, bought up real estate on the
adjoining corners, which rapidly
scared in value when the Brother
hoods building program became
known.
At this time William Premier,
Stones successor. was buying an
estate in Cleveland Heights valued at
S250,000, located on the corner Of
Coventry Road, where Cleveland's
wealthiest exploiters live. His wife
had just died, revealing an estate of
more than 100000.

George T. Webb, executive vice
president Of the whole financial hokus-

real boss of the Brotherhood, was the
kingpin in lavish luxury. He took a

Cleveland's Gold Row near Wade
Park. This great house is so big that
an ordinary camera can snap only one
/ half the structure. It has baronial
towers, porticos, connecting cloisters,
private gardens. Conservatively val
ued, it is worth at least 100000 but
probably nearer S750,000.
A White Elephant
Webb was the evil genius of the
Brotherhood. When he discovered
that the $1,000 900 bank building was
just big white elephant, only one
third of whose offices could be rented,
he turned around for chance to clean
up quick in order to keep the whole
financial structure from lettering in
to bankruptcy. The bank building, in

DECORATED HEADS
OF NAVY CHORTLE
over CONFERENCE
Disarmament" Recog-
nized as Fraud
BY HARVEY o'CoNNoR.

WASHINGTON, (FP) June 21.--
Loud outlaws from the goldbraids in
the spick and span new Navy Build
ing and polite chucl1les in the gloomy
corridors of the State Department &C
companied the opening on June 20 of
the naval armament limitation con-
ference at Geneva.
Small wonder, for the Geneva con-
ference is their conference with all
proposals framed after consultation
and approval by the Navy Depart
ment.
This Geneva will mark gains for
the big navy advocates in all three
countries, despite the ironic title of
the conference as an armament
limitation" parley. The Republican
administration thus not only satisfies
the itch of big navy advocates for
faster and better cruisers, but throws
q sop as we'll to the peace-loving mid
Gle west.
Political Gesture.
Coolidge and his associates, intent
on the third term for Cal, were
alarmed several months ago by the
revulsion against the administrations
imperialistic policies in Nicaragua,
Mexico and China. Then came the
bright idea that call for an "arma-
ment reduction" conference would be
a red herring to draw public atten-
ton from war-like moves in Latin
,o.o,-sao orJ To-, Tat
Whether the people out in what
Washington likes to call the "pro-
vinces" will detect the fraud or not,
certainly no one here is deceived
about the domestic and international
significance of the jockeying in pro-
gress at Geneva. The conference is
seen as typical sagacious stroke Of
Coolidge strategy in giving the mill
tarists what they want while hand
ing the people pacifist goldbrick.
Neither Coolidge nor Kellogg takes
the conference very seriously. A
minor diplomat, the American minis
ter to Switzerland, Hugh Gibson,
heads the delegation, the other mem
Der of which is Admiral Hilary P.
Jones, there to see that the navy's
interests" are protected.
U. S. Wants Big Ships.
Other ironic features of the '1imi-
tation" conference include:
1. American demand for the reten-
ton of the 10,000-ton maximum for
cruisers, opposing the British-Japan-
csc move for a maximum of 5000 to
5000 tons.
2. American opposition to reduc-
ton of tonnage figures for capital
ships. The United States delegates
contend that the figures of the Wash
ington conference of 1922 cannot
be revised at Geneva, as France and
Italy are not represented.
8. American. refusal to discuss re-
duction in her Notifications in Hawaii
and other Pacific points or proposals
to internationalize the Panama Canal.

erals therefore undertook an energetic
counter reaction and are now stationed
in northern Kiangsu Chang Kai-
shek intends to press forward towards
Shangtung and Chill in order to finish
off Chang Tsung-chang finally. There
is little possibility of Chang Kai-shek
taking Pekin. His forces are too far
south and apart from this, he has only
one column in action against the
north, whereas the Wuhan troops are
operating with three columns and are
already carrying out an enveloping
action against Pekin.
Japanese Economic Influence in China
Since the world war, the economic
influence of Japan in China has in
creased very much. 1t extends over
the whole of Manchuria where for
merly Russia competed with Japan.
1t also extends over the one-time Ger
man sphere around Shantung. Fur
Their, in the south, Japan has entered
the Yangtse district from Shanghai.
The Japanese have invested consid-
cradle capital in China:

No Race Prejudice Against Money.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Harlem,
wherein resides the colored popula-
tion of the city, began today to take
official recognition of the society
columns.
1t comes about as the result of
news from Paris that Josephine
Baker, colored beauty, and Har-
lem's own dancing darling, who is
well paid for filling theatrical and
cabaret engagements in Paris, has
been married to a real count-an
italian nobleman. Josephine thus be-
comes the first American colored
countess.

eyebrows--t eyebrows that were
so startlingly lovely under her

There was another silence. Then
Mr.. Ransom asked: Where did
you get the money? From Andy

Bobbie shook her head. But
she did not answer.
"I'll tell you where she got TT!

which Aunt Gertrude always
spoke of Boobies dead mother.
CHAPTER VII
Silence rolled across the bright
comfortable room like ice-cold fog.
Mr.. Ransom, his mouth hang.
ing loosely open, stared first at
his sister and then at his defiant
young daughter. He seemed
stunned, and 1t was more than
a minL.e before he spoke:
"D'you mean to say, Roberta,

trude, from her post between the
red rep curtains IN the doorway.

Parkins. He wants to marry her!
He's like a l6-year-old boy. he's

Portable and happy. You'd think

it-and turn me out in the cold
to earn my living doing office
work" She began 70 cry.
although Bobbie knew that deep
down in her heart Aunt Ger.
trude was looking forward to the
day when she could start work in
an office. Any office is more
exciting than keeping house for
relatives.
Putting that woman who talks
like man and pants herself up
like an actress In poor EIsie's
place! Aunt Gertrude went on
sobbing loudly and brokenIy. "A
woman who wears pearls and dia.
monds when she goes to market"
And as IL the thought Of such q
woman was too much for her,
Aunt Gertrude burst into still
louder sounds and rushed upstairs
with swiftness that was amaz-
ing in one so stout.
Left alone. father and daughter
faced each other.
Everything about Bobbie that
night fairly breathed rebellion. The
stamp of II will" was on every
line of her lovely face. Her fun
heart-shaped mouth was drawn
into a straight line, and Mr.. RAN
som noticed that It was outlined
with the vermiilion lipstick he
had long forbidden her to use
but without success.
The New Woman
There's no use In our quarrel
ing about this any more, Dad"
she said firmly. you've got to
make up your mind that I'm not
a child any more. but a woman.
And not only that--but I'm not the
kind OF woman my mother was.
You say. yourself. that che al.

She had some idea Of going into
