if she could say anything to him
and he would understand. Oh, it
was delicious to have a friend!
There's the cornfield where I've
been plowing," David called back
to her. "a fine crop. I've given it
its last blowing this week. It's
what farmers call laid by Moth
ing to do now but to let nature take
her course"
1t was so dark now that the corn
looked like glistening black swords,
curved by invisible hands for a
phantom combat. And the breeze
rustled through them, bringing to
the beauty drunk little girl a cargo
of mingled odors of earth, ripe fruit
and greenness thrusting up from
the moist embrace of the ground
to the kiss of the sun.
Lets sit here on the ground and
watch the moon come up" David
suggested, his voice hushed with the
wonder of the night and OF the
beauty that lay about them. THE
earth is soft, and dry from the san.
It won't soil your pretty dress.
Sally obeyed, locking her slender
knees with her hands and resting
her chin upon them.
Tired. Sally? They work you
too hard" David said softly, as he
seated himself at little distance
from her. Il suppose you'll be glad
to get back to the-Home in the
fall.
Sallys dream-filled eyes, barely
discernible in the dark. turned to-
ward him. and her voice, hushed
but determined, spoke the words
that had been throbbing in her
brain for four days:
I'm not going back to the Home
ever. I'm going to run away
Good for you!" David applauded
Then, with sudden seriousness:
But what will you do? A girl alone,
like you? And won't they try to
bring you back? Isn't there a law
that will let them hunt you like a
criminal?"
"Oh, yes. The States my legal

Is. In some States it's 81" Sally
answered, fright creeping back into
her voice. But I'm going to do it
anyway. I'd rather die than go
back to the orphanage for two more
years. You don't know what it S
like" she added with sudden vc-
hemence, and a sob-catch in her
throat.
Tell me, Sally" David urged
gently.
And Sally told HMM short,
gasping sentences, roughened some
times by tears-of the life of Or
phaned girls.
I'VE have enough to eat to keen
from starving and they give us four
new dresses a year" Sally went on
recklessly, her long -dammedur
emotion released by his sympathy
and understanding, though he said
so little. And they don't actually
beat us, unless we've done something
pretty bad; but oh, it's the knowing
that we're orphans and that the
State takes care Of us and that no
body cares whether we live or die
that makes it so hard to bear! From

David groaned. She could see
the muscles spring out like cords
along his jaw. Listen, Sally" he
said at last, very gently, Il want
you to believe me when 1 say that
1 have never had the slightest in
tention of marrying Pearl Carson.

spring guiltily apart. Il amt go

We have a branch of the public

But, Sally, Sally, what could you

No" Sally acknowledged pas
sionately. I've never had more

David's hand, concealed by the
darkness, was upon hers before she

that his words were like a caress.

MINE OWNERS
Give LITTLE AID
IN STRIKE QUIZ
Rockefeller, Mellon Plead
Ignorance of Situation
in Coal Regions.
BY KENNETH CRAWFORD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON. March "A. -
Three of the country's wealthiest
men have added their views on the
ailing bituminouS coal industry to
the voluminous record of hearings
before the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee.
Charles w. Schwab, John D.
Rockefeller and r. E. Mellon,
brother OF Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon, all large stockholders
in coal companies, testified Friday
before the committee and a room
full of spectators.
Schwab was jovial and fluent.
He said the industry would have to
work out its own difficulties by the
natural economic laws of supply
and demand but might be helped
by legislation to permit combina-
tons.
John D. Pleads Ignorance
Rockcfeller's attitude was friendly
ance Of the technical problems of
coal mining, but said he believed
some legislation is necessary to
place the industry back on sound
economic basis.
Mellon seemed morose. He an
swered questions reluctantly and
offered no solution for the coal
problem.
ut seems to me that if this COM
mittees efforts to solve the prob
lem are to be successful, it must
consult separately with represent
atives of all the interests involved
producers, distributors, transport
CTS and workers" Rockefeller said.
Denies Contract Violation
II hardly see how anything is to
be accomplished by bringing them
all together at once"
Rockefeller refused to admit that
the Consolidation Coal Company, in
which he is largely interested. vio-
lated its contract with the United
Mine Workers. He told the COM
mittee he believed in collective bar
gaining. He offered to assist the
committee in any way he could or
participate in any conference it may
call
Mellon admitted he voted as a
member of the board of directors
Of the Pittsburgh Coal Company
for abrogation of the Jacksonville
wage agreement. He said the step
was necessary to continue opera
tiCn
Mellon FOrgets Motives
Asked by Senator Wheeler how
he justified his vote, Mellon said he
could not remember.
Have you ever gone to your mine
since the strike to see how the peo-
pie are living?" Wheeler asked him.
mo, I trusted the men in charge
to take care of them" Mellon re-
piled.
"It would do you good to run out
there and see them" said Wheeler.

MOSES POKESFU
At SMITH SPEECH
"PIoughboy Playing Both
Ends Against Middle"
Senator Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 20.-Senator
George H. Moses of New Hampshire.
Eastern advisory chairman of the Hoov-
er campaign, said yesterday that Gov.
Smith was playing both ends against
the middle" on the question of farm
relief
The Democratic nominee, asserted
the Senator in commenting on the
governors Omaha speech, was trying
to get both the proponents and the op-
ponents Of the equalization fee to vote
for him.
"The ploughboy of the Eastern world"
said Senator Moses. "goes West in
million-dolla special train to carry re-
lief to the harassed farmers of that
section. His remedy consists in a plea
to give him chance. His promise con-
sists in a pledge to appoint commission
to tell him what to do. Both his plea
and his promise will prove ineffective" +"
Nobody knows who would be on the
commission, what would be its recon-
mendations and when it reported it
would still have Congress to deal with.
mo doubt if sufficient pressure is
brought to bear on the governor while
he is in the West he will declare for
the equalization fee. Gov. Smith wants
to be President and he doesn't care
how he gets there. If he declares for
the equalization fee it will simplify
matters for me here in the East"

mary-Young Wins G. O. P.
Nomination for Senate.

of returns showed yesterday that the
largest primary vote on record in Massa-
chusetts was cast Tuesday when both

Speaker of the Massachusetts, House of
Representatives, won the Republican
nomination for United States Senator in
the principal contest of the primary.
He defeated his closest competitor, Eden
S. Draper of Hopedale, by approximate
ly 1000 votes. Gen. Butler AmeS of
Lowell. the third candidate for the
nomination, was $4,000 votes behind
Draper. Draper had declared himself
in favor of any modification of the
Volstead act Ito promote true temper
ance." while Young and Ames ran as
drys: Young will oppose Senator David
l. Walsh, who was unopposed for the
Democratic nomination in the Novem-
ber election.
Lieut.. Gov. Frank G.. Allen defeated
Frank A. Goodwin. former registrar of
motor vehicles, by almost 100000 votes
for the Republican nomination for
governor.
In telegram to Allen Goodwin ex-
pressed his congratulations and said he
was gratified that their campaign had
been waged on issues and not on per-
sonalitieS.
In replying, Lieut. Gov. Allen said he
was convinced that "this primary con-
test has served to strengthen the forces
OF our party so as to insure success in
the election in November"
Lieut.. Gov. Allen will be opposed for
governor by Gen. Charles H. Cole, who
overwhelmingly defeated John j. Cum
mlngs of Boston for the Democratic
nomination. Gen. Cole, an original sup
porter of Gov. Smith for President: at
trlbuted his large vote to enthusiasm of
Massachusetts voters toward the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee.
William K. Kaynor of Springfield won
the Republican congressional nomina-
ton In the second district; Maurice j.
Tobln of Boston, the Democratic NOM
ination in the eleventh district, and

ROBINSON CARRIES
FIGHT TO KENTUCKY
"a Hours Behind Schedule,
Senator Will Speak at
Owensboro Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.


ROBINSON SPECIAL CAR, EN-
ROUTE TO OWENSBORO. KY, Sep
tember 20-Exactly "a hours behind
schedule, Senator Joe T. Robinson to-
day moved forward to Kentucky where
after delivering two addresses he will
close the first leg of projected nation
wide campaign tour. His first speech
will be at OWenSboro tonight and the
other at Paducah tomorrow.
The Democratic vice presidential
nominee then proposes to return to
Arkansas for few days rest at either
his home inF Little Rock or at Hot
Springs before starting on tour which
will carry him to the Pacific Coast and
back.
Mr.. Robinson expected to reach Ken
lucky last night and open his campaign
in that State with an address at Bowl
ing Green. Disrupted train schedules
due to the Florida storm and heavy
rains in southern Georgia, however,
made this as well as an address, in At
lanta Tuesday night out of the question.
On his way across Georgia yesterday,
the Senator nevertheless made up for
some of the lost time by delivering six
platform addresses in which he turned
loose verbal fire on the Republican
record on prohibition enforcement and
those who are opposed to Gov. Smith
because of his membership in the Cath
olic Church.
Although a formal address in Atlanta
had to be cancelled, he took advantage
of a 15-minute stop in the station at
that city to tell crowd which waited
his arrival that he hoped and expected
to return before the campaign was over
and deliver the speech he had promised.

CURTIS SQUELCHES
HECKLERS IN IOWA
Vice Presidential Candidate
Wins Applause by
Ready Replies.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CURTIS PRIVATE CAR IN NE
BRASKa. September 20.-The readiness
of Senator Curtis. Republican vice
presidential nominee, to mix it with
hecklers. as shown in Iowa yesterday,
has won the candidate the plaudltS of
the crowds of the Middle West.
After three strenuous days of cam
paigning across Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa the Senator today faced long
cross-country drive from his private
car. Late in the afternoon he was to
visit the Sioux Indians, who are cele-
brating their fiftieth anniversary of en-
camping on the Rosebud Reservation, in
South Dakota, with an old-time pow
wow.
He was on the back platform this
morning greeting those along the route
in Nebraska. Detraining at Valentine,
he was to motor across into South
Dakota in company with Senator Nc
Master of that State TO the Rosebud
At Spencer, Iowa. yesterday Senator
Curtis encountered his first heckler, and
after answering his questions about the
vetoes of the McNary- -Haugen bills and
about his personal record on farm relief
he was cheered as he asked his lone
queStioner to come on--have you any,
thing more
About the vetoes by President Cool
idge of the McNary-Hau bills, Curtis
replied by asking what Gov. Smith
would have done with them. He already
had declared that the Democratic presi-
dental candidate had indicated" his
Endorsement of that bill, but actually
did nothing of the kind"
IF the Republicans are elected" he
"they will pass bill-a good
bill-and it will be signed by Herbert
Hoover
The Senator voted for the McNary-
Haugen bill, but also supported the veto
of 1t, and when questioned about that
by the Spencer Examiner he declared
he supported the President because of
his position as leader of the Repub-
lican party in the Senate
At Sioux City, Iowa, the Senator left
the train to talk on temporary stand
in the railroad yard while waiting for
switching operations. Pleading there
for Herbert Hoover, he cited the work
of the Republican nominee in admin
iStering war relief. Some one asked
Who paid for it?" and Curtis replied
that the American people and Herbert
Hoover paid for it." "But you didn't
help or you wouldn't have asked the
question" Again the crowd gave him
a big roar.
The 68-year-old campaigner is tired
from the heavy program of the last
three days. He spoke IA times Tues
day in crossing Illinois, and yesterday
he made five speeches in Iowa, mostly
from the back platform of the private
car, which has been equipped with loud
speakers.

G. 0. P. URGES TARIFF
AS VITAL ISSUE
National and State Chairmen Told
by Work to Keep Question
to Fore.

By the Associated Press.
Republican national committeeman
and State chairmen were called upon
today by Chairman Work of the ma
tional committee to strive for main
tenance of the tariff as a vital issue
in the presidential campaign
By letter, he charged Gov. Smith
and the Democratic party with making
"a subtle, specious and misleading ap-
peal to the voters" on the tariff QueS-
ton.
THE erroneous impression has gone
forth, and is spreading" he said, that
there is no material difference between
the Democratic and the Republican
stands on the tariff this year; conse-
quently, many are prone to say the
tariff is not an issue. That impression
is wholly erroneous: 1t should be cor
rected. The tariff is and should be a
vital issue in this campaign.
The national chairman recalled the
Democratic platform indorsing "a COM
'petitive tariff" which he described as
different from protective tariff" He
contended that Smith, in his accept
ance speech, had tried "to hand the
country a sugar-coated tariff pill" but
had "let the cat out of the bag by re-
ferring in commendatory terms to the
ruinous Underwood act"
Asserting that the Republicans were
standing squarely for a protective tariff,
Work noted that Hoover had promised
an early revision of the tariff to meet
current conditions He contended, on
the other hand. that the Democrats
stand on platform plank, as inter-
preted by their candidates, that spells
positive ruin to prosperity"
