Funigation Gas
I'm Home Fatal to
Unknowing Youth
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, October
15.-Hurrying home to obtain a
football uniform for one of the
big games of the year yesterday
afternoon, Eugene Cow, 16-year-
old high school athlete, forced his
way into his home, which was
being fumigated with a deadly
gas compound, and fell dead after
he had taken only few steps.
Men engaged in fumigating the
four-story apartment block had
warned all tenants to leave and
had sealed every window and
locked all doors. The Cow boy. it
is understood. did not know of
this, and on returning from
school, raced up the back stairs
unnoticed.
Evidently thinking his mother
had gone out for the afternoon, he
forced a bedroom window in quest
of his football togs and craWled
in, only to be stricken dead.

mind Ralph ]. Totten. American con-
sui general at Cape Town of the day
when Crusaders fought with sword
and spear to retrieve the Holy
Sepulcher.
The monarch's people, whose an
cestors were the mighty men who
guarded the lovely queen on her long
journey to visit Solomon, cling to the
old ways. When Totten went among
them on an official mission, however.
he found that Ras Tafari's palace was
quite modern, equipped with the only
electric lights in the capital.
Consul General Dinner Guest.
The American consul general met
only three Ethiopians who spoke Eng
lish, but was able to converse with
Ras Tafari in French and was his
guest at dinner three times.
Each time his fruit was served on
a solid silver plate, inlaid with Amer
lean gold and silver coins, so arranged
that both sides of the pieces might
be seen.
The plate is one of set of 25, each
decorated with the coins of different
nation, which was made for the prince
regent in London. 1t Is reputed to
have cost $4,000, and he takes great
pains to have his foreign guests served
with the plates bearing their native
coins. In Totten's plate were two $50
and two $40 gold pieces, four silver
dollars and several half dollars and
quarters.
At each of the dinners the prince
had both Europeans and Ethiopians
as guests. and the princess, with one
or more of her ladies in waiting, was
always present.
Movie Picture Show Staged.
After dinner he entertained with
moving picture show in the dining
room, having an excellent protector
and an operator to run it. His pic
lures included one very old film, taken
| in the early days of the movie, show
| ing King Menelik: number of tropi-
| cal films, reels of important events,
and pictorial record of his own Eu-
ropean tour.
Ras Tarfari is a grandnephew of
Menelik. He was made regent when
the grandson of Menelik was deposed
and his granddaughter became the
Empress. Totten found him lone of
the most interesting personalities with
whom have ever come into contact"
a charming and delightful gentleman,
with aristocratic features and beauti-

CHINESE SOLDIERS
REFUSE TO OBEY
Army of Youngest National
lists Decline to Advance,
Report States.

Ey the Associated Press,
LONDON, October 15.-~The EX
change Telegraph's HongkonS cor
respondent says it is reliably reported
from Nanking that troops of the lOth
army CNationalists) refused to obey an
order TO advance up the PukoW Rall'
way.
The army is said to consist of the
Youngest of the Nationalist soldiers,
hadIv equipped. They are stationed
nj ;nuchowan, northwest of Marking
with an advance guard, opposing the
Northerners.
A dispatch TO the Westminster Ga
.ette from Peking reports that the
Eritish intend to reoccupy the British
a,,acAsslon at HankoW. which was
ttfrned over to the Nationalists on
March Is. now that the Nationalist
regime of DR.. Eugene Chen and
Michael Borodin has vanished.
The taking over by the Chinese
Nationalists of the British concession
of Hankow on March Is was re-
garded as the first tangible victory of
Chinese Nationalism in its struggle
with the powers. The concession
formed a base for British trade in
the interior of China and was re-
Earded as one of the most valuable
eXtraterritorial areas in that country.
The British had held it since 1861 and
its abandonment was a direct result
of anti-foreign violence INDUCED in
last January, when mobs invaded the
concession and threatened to Kill for
eigners.

MAIN sHANsI ARMIES CRUSHED
Scattered Bands Reported Still Near
Peking, However.

PEKING China, October Is P).-
The main Shansi armies which have
been driving on Peking have been
crushed, but scattered bands are still
in the field-some within 20 miles of
Peking-with Northern forces close at
their heels. a spokesman for the
Northern Alliance stated yesterday.
This spokesman declared that the
Northerners deliberately drew the
main Shansi army of $4,000 men
almost to Paotingfu, So miles south
west OF Peking, and then sent the
Northern army by way of Anchow to-
ward Tingchow to cut off their retreat.
Most of the Shansi force was forced
to abandon the Peking- -Hankow rail-
way and flee southwestward toward
their native province of Shansi.

CIVILIAN INCREASE
SOUGHT FOR NAVY
Department Handicapped in
Carrying on Routine Work,
Congress Told.

While there is no shortage of officers
for carrying on the actual routine
work of the photographic Office OF
the Navy, nevertheless there is a
general shortage Of civilian personnel
which makes it impossible to comply
thoroughly with $he mission of this
important branch of the naval service,
according 10 the annual report of Capt.
w. 6, Crosley, chief of the office, made
public today. In addition to need
for more civilian personnel Capt.
Crosley points TO the need of fireproof
storage for the valuable records and
papers of this office. some of which
would be irreplaceable in case of de-
struction
He says they are now stored in
wood cases, which does not safeguard
them against fire. The furniture and
walls of the file room should he fire.
proof, he says. and the inadequacy
of the storage space i'm the file rooms
has resulted in an overCrowded CON
dition which can he remedied only
by an increase in space.
The shortage of personnel is espe-
cially great in the division of mari
time security and in the division of
chart construction. he says. The
work required to make the United
States independent of foreign sources
of chart supply cannot be done in a
reasonable period with the present
complement. he says, and the sec
ton of sailing directions is falling
behind
Appropriation Unchanged.

Of 1s employees without increase in

Crosley says that Reconsideration
greatly improves the efficiency of
personnel affected it has left the
office undermined, and he again
urges that some form of adjustment
he considered for the field force of
% civilian employees in the branch
photographic offices which will not
result in a reduction of that force
which is declared to be now at
minimum, and all insufficiently paid.
Further adjustments of pay follow
ing the passage of the recla sSification
act have afforded a measure of re-
lief to the technical employees of the
office who for so many years have
been underpaid, while in many cases
Reconsideration has not yet had the
necessary effect because of lack. of
funds to bring some of the lower
grades nearer TO average in grade.

says.
Aviation has placed new and i'm

ing to the lack of funds for additional
personnel. only two aviation charts
were published. But, Capt. CROSBY
continues, numerous requests nave

the time has now come when these
demands can no longer be ignored

He says that the photographic plan
of the Office is a valuable asset TO
the department, in which work can
be done cheaper and quicker than by
outsiders and with absolute secrecy.
Money, he says is being lost by not

she drew away from him.
Have you seen the papers?"
II have the Bulletin

Tony lit cigarette nervously. Dor.

end.
Her lips quivered pathetically when
Tony spoke.
But why did you say so much to
her, dear? And how did the story get
out, anyway"
1T was because I wanted to be
frank with Ted. After all, he's always
been sweet to me. So told him

II know, know" Dorothy was
crying again now. But I couldn't
bear to deceive Ted. / wanted to be
honest with him. I never dreamed
he'd do such a think as take Helen
away from me-"
She moved over on the davenport.
and Tony gathered her up in his arms.
She was so small, so frail, so unable
to face the world. All the tender inn
pulses that he had experienced on Sat
urday night welled up in him again as
he held her. And yet this was bad
business. What were they going to do
about it?
Mate love or mother love, which Is
stronger"
That maddening phrase concocted
by that Anderson girl kept running
through his mind.
Which was stronger in Dorothy?
AS Tony saw it, Ted Wood knew
Dorothy Ear better than he did. He
had taken the child in order to force
Dorothy back to him. This thought
raised spirit of combat in Tony. And
yet he was a lawyer. Dorothy could
get out writ of habeas corpus and
have the child produced in court, but
if it were known that she wanted to
marry another man, nine times out of
ten the judge would award the child
to the father.
Dorothy was breathing quietly now,
like child. He looked down at her
small face against his shoulder, and q
smile parted his lips. Her lashes were
dropped as if she were very tired.
From her hair the scent of violets was
waited up to him. He looked around
the room. 1t was luxuriously fur
niShed. Eleanor ByerS had told him
that Dorothy had a lot of money Of
her own.
And then he thought of that clever
ly written article of Constance Ander-
sons. He hated her type of woman,
and if only women of her kind would
realize that men disliked them.
She was the type that might be des-
ignated as strong minded. Forced to
make her living in the world, she
forgot her feminine qualities.
Fancy prosecuting a sweet, little
woman like this through the power
of the press. Just the same, that girl
was clever. She had twisted John
around her little finger. He had been
ready to eat out of her hand.
He remembered saying foolish things
to her. He had held her in his arms,
too. What had been going on in her
mind? Even loving Dorothy. he could
still be curious about woman he
didn't entirely understand. What he
didn't realize about Jill was the fact
that she was so much like him that
he failed to see the resemblance. Only
Jill loved him, and he didn't love her!
