In her secret heart Sybil hac
made vow. She would never, she
swore, tell another man she loved

If she was sure he respected her
she'd stand for a little petting--
only, of course, they didn't call it
petting. If she got hollow feeling
in the stomach, she'd think she

DUT she remembered night on
Id the shores of Lake Waban, all

They had driven to the waters

birch that lay like a lanky tree

And she put back her head for
his kiss on her lips She remem-
bered how he had drawn away
and how she had clasped her arms
about his neck and whispered,

bread?"

his kisses were hot and merciless.

made by intimates of Harry C. Les

lei State committee devoted exclu-
sively to Leslie's candidacy.
For two hours, from 4 to 6 p. M,
the Leslie devotees, assembled by
quiet invitation OF Bert G. Fuller,

plans for a militant organization in
their favorite's behalf and argued
ways and means for disassociating
Leslies candidacy from the disre-
pute into which the organization
indorsed Jackson administrator.

Conferees from over the State

demand for a political houseclean-

reports of the public's unwillingneSs
to regard Leslie as anything more
than prospective heir to rule of
the old Statehouse gang" it was
learned.
Before the session, Fuller and
Bert Morgan, strong Leslie man,
who failed as "liaison agent" be-
tween Hoover and Leslie headquar-
ters in the primary, insisted no
meeting was called and that "just
a few of Les,ie's friends we're drop
ping in to discuss the issues"

went, according to witnesses, and
then there was some lawn to cross.
The mere fact that a house got in
the way did not deter his automo-
bile, and he pushed part Of the

street.
Policemen don't move as fast as
that and Quinn wasn't arrested
until today.
He was indignant.

"I don't keep my hands on the
steering Wheel"

SCHEME Barred
Witness Tells Court Of
Winning SLOTS.

First of a series of Criminal Court
trials resulting from the States war
on baseball pool sellers and alleged
lottery operators was in progress to-
day before Criminal Judge James A.
Collins.
Joseph ROLES, $40 Century Bldg,
was on trial for operating a lottery
said to total $4,000 in business
weekly.
John G. Willis, Criminal Court
investigator, was on the stand when
court resumed this afternoon.
The States chief witness, Lee
Owens, Negro, told of winning a
$1,000 prize and of a SIS prize.
Owens said he received his $1,000
check from Ed L. Holmes, 1895 IS
Illinois ST., who later took the stand
to tell the check was given him for
Owens. Holmes was one of the SUBJ
agents in the gigantic scheme.
The box from which the lucky
numbers we're alleged to have been
drawn was to be introduced as a
State exhibit, along with a large
quantity of tickets seized when Willis
raided the Century Bldg. Office after
ROLES was arrested.
Trials of William Denver and Sea
Ferguson, Negroes, of 322 N. Senate

clusion of the ROLES trial. The
three Negroes are charged with pool
selling. Trial of William Masten
166 w. Pratt ST., was postponed un-
