REPUBLICANS
RIFT DEEPEST
Senate Attempts to Fix
Schism Caused BY APP
p~ellation of Moses

WASHINGTON. Nov. e-tR)
Confronted by the deepest schism
OF many years In their ranks. SEN
ate republicans attempted today to
designated the party independents
which threaten since Senator Moses
desigsated the party independents
as sons OF wild jackasses."
The latest storm disturbed the
regulars themselves, and centered
around the outspoken New Hamp-
shire whose "jackass" a~ppellation
has emphasized the party tariff
rift. Those reported to be agitated
by Moses stand represent the re-
publican group which wants an at
tempt made to unite the eastern
and western wings Of the party, and
there were hints that his retention
as president pro TEN Of the senate
and as chairman Of the republican
senatorial committee vas being ques-
toned.
Meanwhile the western independ-
entS were standing BY. with indica-
tons that they might wage cam
paigns Of their own against some
OF the regulars in ensuing elections.
They have broken away from the
administration leadership in the
senate In both the farm relief and
tariff disputes. Holding the balance
Of power, their ballots have been
cast with the democrats against
major Hoover policies. Indifference
rather than aggravation was their
reaction to being denominated sons
OF wild iackasseS' by Moses. one
result being a ~reiteration Of their
independence.
No movement against the New
Hampshire senator gained sufficient
Roadway TO get into the open before
the senate recessed over the week
end.

Katie's Fantastic Theories Stir
 Madee's Memory, and She Recalls
 the Mystery Box ard Sealed Pa
 Ders Secretly Entrusted to Her by
 Marion
 What's the matter?" my mother in-law demanded sharply, when, hat ted and cloaked for our expedition to The LarChes, she joined me Tn the lower hall. You look as if you were seeing ghosts
 I wanted to ell her that l was seeing just exactly that-the wrath of an almost forgotten happening which had come before my eyes while Katie was insisting that some thing in Marions room had been the object of the burglary.
 Vividly before me was the mem ory picture of Marions earnest, eN- cited face as she had brought to my room the old lock box which her dead grandmother had given her and had manipulated the secret spring which disclosed three large, heavy envelopes carefully sealed. with directions that they should not be opened until Marion should be eighteen,
 Not even Lillian knew Of the secret the old sandalWood box con- tained. her young daughter had told me. She believed it 10 hold simply a few kecpsakes which Tom Mor- tons mother, half sonile before she died, had given to the child, and had smiled fndulgently at Marion s fussincss over keeping the box safe ly. But when Marion, Ica"inE for school, and unju5'ly resyntfUl and jealous of her stepfather had begged to leave the box with me, she had told me that her grandmother, be- fore she died, had told her that the box contained her "fortunc' and had made the child promise that she would not open the envelopes until she was eighteen, and would not let her mother know the secret until then.
 But she didn't know you Marion had told mo, 50 tEe prom ise doesn't count with you, and l can leave the box with you, don't trust that man. l don't want il " ing around where he could ge, hold of it
 The Fortune Box
 That animosity toward her step father had vanished and the two were now good friends but Marion had never asked for the box. h. deed, in the excitement Of going back to school and in the enjoyment of her new friendships with her roommate, Carolyn BriXton, and Carolyn's attractive brother, Ron aid. I do not believe she ever had given her hidden fortune another thought.
 But I was giving it a number of serious thoughts now. When I first had been entrusted with the secret" I had been inclined to think the envelopes contained only worthless papers magnified into i'm portance by the senile imagination
