DIV CUttbU IItoS
FIT. WORTH, Texas, June 81
Morrison r. Toomer, editor of the
Fl Worth Press, a Scripps- Howard
newspaper, died here Sunday morn
ing.
Toomer was one of the most effec-
tive editors in the Southwest. He
edited the Oklahoma News, in Okla
homa City, before going to Fit.
Worth Educated at the University
of Oklahoma, he began newspaper
work in 1914, shortly after leaving
college.
Cub reporter, reporter, political
editor, and managing editor, he rose
rapidly until, in 1922 when he be-
came editor. Meantime he had
served in the A. E. F. overseas.
In 1917 Toomer tried repeatedly
to have himself accepted among the
volunteers, but his physique told
against him. Later he was accepted
in the draft and in a short time
rose from private to first lieutenant.
He saw service in France.
Returning to his newspaper, his
health, never any too robust, gave
way in 1923, and he was obliged to
rest. Back in harness again, he kept
at his post until stricken a few
weeks ago.
The body will be sent today to his
old home at Ardmore, Okla, for
burial.

TIN be quite a reunion" Pop con-
cluded with a sardonic grin.
1t is characteristic Of all morning
newspapers that the bulk OF ac-
tivity is carried on at night. Usual
" there is a comparative lull in any
metropolitan newspaper plant
throughout the morning.
In the late afternoon tension be-
gins to gain momentum and fever
ish hustle prevails from that time
until long past midnight.
For the Times 2 a. m. was de-
signated as the final deadline. At
this hour the presses flung out the
last news of the day and then ceased
their thunderous functions.
1t was early afternoon of the first
week in September, approximately
six months after Pops sensational
disappearance, that Don sat idly in
his Office, abstractedly contemplate
ing the panorama Of Catawba City
visible from his window.
The literary editor had finished
his quota of work for the day and
waited for sounds that would tell
him that Diana and Lola had ar
rived. The cousins had called him
that morning, announcing that they
wanted to be taken for a long-de-
ferred trip throughout the plant.
This had been a portentious sum-
mer and a turbulent one, Don re-
Elected. And his soul-interests had
strangely been interviewer with the
business fate of his. paper.
He could not think of Teddy, for
example, without instantly associat-
ing her with his beloved Times. And
Diana and Lola, both were drawn
whit increasing frequency to the big
plant.
His meditations were broken by
the appearance of the two girls
themselves.

As COUNTRIES
IN FARLEY ON
WORLD TRADE
Discuss Economic, Finan-
ciaI Problems at 6-Day
Convention.

BIZ United Press
STOCKHOLM, June 27.-All the
worlds major economic problems
will be discussed by the fourth Bien-
NAL congress of the international
Chamber of Commerce which
opened here today.
The sessions of the congress will
be held in the Parliament Bldg. and
more than 700 delegates from forty
three countries will attend the ses-
sions during the next six days.
Among the more technical sub
jects which the congress will discuss
are: Uniform laws governing checks
and bills of exchange, double taxa
ton, the enforcement of foreign
judgments in bankruptcy proceed
ings, the protection of foreign
owned industrial property, CONNER
cial aviation, the standardization of
commercial letter of credit regula-
tons problems of sea, rail and high
way transportation, international
telephony, cable and radio rates and
revised rules of Cancellation and ar
bitration.
Discuss Trade Barriers
The principal general topic for
discussion, however, will center on
the question of economic restoration
and in this field the delegates will
be called upon to consider the work
Of the committee on international
settlements ond of the committee
on trade barriers.
The subject Of trade barriers is
expected to afford an even more ex-
tended and important topic OF dis
cussion. Following the Brussels
Congress of the Chamber in 1925
a central trade barriers committee
was appointed to study the entire
problem Of trade barriers and their
relation to international commerce
and industry.
The results Of this committees
work will be utilized as far as pos
sible during the present sessions OF
the congress.
For clearer presentation at the
meeting, the work of the committee
was divided into six subjects, each
of which has been studied by an in
ternational subcommittee.
Confine Discussions
It is understood that the congress
will endeavor to confine the discus
sions at the meeting this year to
purely economic problems, avoid
ing, if possible, the entry of inter-
national political controversies.
The congress will also probably
carry its discussions mainly into a
more detailed consideration of the
problems which were taken up at
the international economic confer
ence of the League of Nations of the
material which had already been
submitted at Geneva.

CHAPTER XIII

THAT all?" Young Walden's voice
came sharply from the machine.
mo, not altogether, not by a
damn sight. I'm afraid of that
damned Copley. know he's a rat,
squealer. If they ever get to
him with a little jack, he'll cough
up all he knows. I wish you'd pay
him off-settle his hash"
81 tell you that's all paid for, the
Brooks job. One grand. The kill
ing of Valetti saved us two grand.
The other"
Teddy nudged her companion.
That's the part I heard, remem-
ber?"
Don nodded and held up a
finger. The machine grounded on.
1.-The other job amt finished yet.
Diana Brooks won't marry me-so
I'm going to get her the, other way!
Next time she disappears she'll stay
putt"
There was vindictiveness in the
tones that registered plainly on the
record. Teddy shuddered.
Don't be fool, boy. Women al
ways get you into trouble. Better
leave her alone!"
Like hell I will That jane is
due for something for what she
handed me. I don't forget so easy!"
well, it's Brooks that worries
me. It's been hell ever since you,
like fool, got scared the morn
ing after that damn sob sister made
her getaway and you told Tony
MaScal to let Brooks go. He'll get
my hide if I don't get his first. I'd
have him bumped off any minute if
I could just get control of that damn
Times once"
A long silence followed, broken &C.
casionally by brief question or
some remark relating to matters of
business.
Don and Teddy waited impati-
emily while the cylinder kept on
turning, turning, slowly, steadily.
then again came that hoarSe voice,
harshly drawing, long-toned like
its owner.
81 think that fellow Keene is too
busy for his own good. 1t may be
necessary"
I'D like to take that job myself"
cut in the voice of the younger
Walden. Hes the one Diana is
bugs over. What n ell the women
all see in him beats me. But they
do. At the country club dance I
noticed a lot of things. Even that
vamp, the Mantell woman, seems
to have a case on him. I'd bump
him off with good grace!"
Don flashed a look at the girl by
his side. Her face had gone chalk
white. In her eyes was look of
terror. The voice of the record
went on:
"You talk like fool. What have
we the Valetti gang hired for? No
sense in taking personal chances. {"
For my own satisfaction. But
I'll take no chances"
Again silence held while the CYL
inder kept on steadily turning.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED

DIANA BROOKS, beautiful daugh5;

He suspects JOHN w. WALDEN and

Waldens of the formality of closing
in" Garfield ventured with an. IRON
ical smile.
Beyond my fondest hopes" nod
ded Pop and a relentless spark
glinted in his still youthfully bright
eyes. "We've got enough to hang
them on" he continued, land as
rotten as the administration is, they
won't dare ignore the evidence. Il
called you all in to work out a plan
of procedure. The fact is, we must
figure out a way to get the evidence
before the grand jury"
Teddy leaned forward. The halo
of anticipation surrounding her
seemed to elevate the diminutive
figure to an immense height. She
raised her head and expanded her
chest, gripping the arms OF her
chair with tense fingers.
"Then we've got everything? The
main source of the plot to wreck
the Times, all of it? And there's
absolutely no loop-hole?" asked
Dinny Morrison, speaking with a
rising infection.
Absolutely perfect" replied the
publisher grimly.

"No-and that's too long to wait.
BY George, that gives me an ideal"
exclaimed Brooks, enthusiastically,
I'VE might as well do this thing
right. Spectacularly, if you will,
but Walden" the publisher
clenched his fists-"he didn't spare
us in creating sensation and
spectacles. Thought he was going to
break the old man-eh? Make the
Brooks breed grovel-"
Jane Dexter WINGED at the harsh
ness of her employers information.
"We1l call special meeting" re-
sumed Pop, "hold it right in the
editorial room. Bill, you arrange to
get the Waldens here-let's see, to-
day is Wednesday. Well have them
here next Teusday. I'll fix things
to have Judge Wharton of the
Superior Court, you know, present.
Also District Attorney Bolton We've
got to have the evidence for the
Judge to submit to the grand jury
before they'll issue an indictment"
Brooks hesitated. Then continued:
MAKE it say, 2 o'clock sharp. In
the editorial room. Well stage this
little scene with all the trappings
the Waldens have invited! They'll
find out who's going to grovell And

porter who, by this time was almost

A gasp from the white-lipped girl

A gasp from the white-lipped girl
struck Don's ear. He reached over
and took her hand in his.
you're as white as a Sheet" he
said with forced lightness of tone.
"You mustn't let their talk frighten
you. Barking dogs seldom bite"
Eyes they do, Don!" came Ted
dy's quick contradiction and he felt
his fingers clutched in a spasmodic
grip. "Such dogs as this Walden.
Oh, dear, you must be CAREFUL" she
cried and with a swift, impulsive
movement pressed his fingers
against her lips.
He drew her gently close where
for moment she chung, trembling.
Then she drew back, a deep flush
staining her cheeks and forehead.
"You mustn't worry, Ted" he said,
his voice choked.
He turned away. She was crying
SOlCly.
Roger Brooks battered straw hat
was tilted far back on his white
head. Pop was concentrating.
Dinny and Bill Garfield sat expect
antly waiting for him to speak. The
ancient hat shifted to the left and
then back again over the right ear.
Teddy, sitting absolutely still for
once, near Pop, dilated her eyes and
nostrils.
To the little sob sister this was
drama, the enviable reality of a
big event that outsiders got only in
fiction or on the stage.
The four were congregated in
Brooks Office to perfect plan. 1t
was nearing 5 o'clock and the click
ing of battery of telegraph inStru-
ments drifted in through the tram
som. Somewhere out in the edi-
torial room sounded the staccatto
operation of the automatic type
writer's.
The old hat was shifted once
again. The publisher cleared his
throat. His eyes wandered slowly
over each of his employees, lingering
with a swift CLEAN of admiration
on the rapt face of the little sob
sister.
"Closin' in, eh-so Walden said
his father was closin' in!"
Roger Brooks fist came crashing
down on his desk, Earring the ink
we'll and the telephone. Jane Dex-
ter, standing before a filing cabi-
net with sheaf of letters in her
hand, gave start. Pops voice had
exploded the silence like the boom
of miniature cannon. There was
an unaccustomed ferocity and exul-
tation in the strong lines of the old
mans face. His mustache bristled.
