In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear wife, Eliza B. Emory, who depart
ed this life, November IL, 1928:
Dark and dreary is this world without
you,
Lonely is my home today,
For the one 1 loved so dearly
Has forever passed away.
Your sufferings now are over
You are where there's no more pain
And this will be my comfort
To know we'll meet some day again.
know not what you suffered,
never heard you sigh,
I only know you left here all alone,
But bid me goodbye.
I often sit and think Of you
When I am all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
The time may seem short to others
But to me there has been long space
Since the day I said goodbye
And gazed the last look in your race
NV heart still aches for you, dear cne'
Your loss I will forever feel ,
For YOU bore your suffering with smil-
And left d wound that will never heal.
Sleep on. dear wife, thy cares are over
Your loving face I see no more
When you breathed your last farewen
The blow meant more than words can
tell.
Ny home is not home
It is just a place without the smiles On
your dear face,
watched you day by day..
Until at last with broken heart 1 saw
you pass away.
Well, dear wife, am here struggling
Through sunshine and rain
Just waiting for that day to come
When we shall meet again.
No one knows my heart aches,
No one knows the tears l nave sneu nee
Since the day you left me, dear Wlre'
TO be numbered with the dead.

vember 8, 1926.
No one knows how sad my heart is,
No one feels it as I do.
Can you wonder if Pm unhappy,
No one knows Daddy but you,
What would I give to clasp your hand,
Your loving face to see.
Your pleasant smile made things worth

It meant the world to me.
Now only memories as I journey on,
Longing for a smile and face that's

No one knows the depth of regret,
But 1 will remember when the others

ISSUE

Admitting nothing and de-
nying nothing, Capt. Guy 3.
Burlingame today submitted
to Major e. B. Hesse, superin-
tendent Of police, an answer to
the latter's request for an ex-
planation os charges made by
Mrs. Helen Blalock, palmist,
in an affidavit.
The report of Burlingame was
transmitted to the District Com
missioners by Major Hesse without
recommendation or comment.
The explanation of Burlingame
was so vague that there was ne
foundation on which to base recon-.
mendation one way or another. "
said Major Hesse, after a protracted
conference. with the Board OF Dis
trict Commissioners.
Burliugarne personally delivered
his explanation to Major Hesse, who
carried 1t to Corporation Counsel
w. w. Bride. Ringgold Hart, Hesse
and Bride delivered the report to
the District Commissioners, who
were in session.
The Burlingame case grew out
Of his alleged friendly relations with
Mrs. Blalock. The woman after
conference with Representative E.
W. Gibson and Representative Blan-
ton went to Texas and made an
affidavit holding Burlingame re-
sponsible for the loss of certain
moneys.
The woman also turned over to
Blanton several letters she claimed
Burlingame wrote to her. the letters
being couched in endearing terms
and of a romantic nature.
Mrs. Blalock remains under COW
er, but many persons believe she
is now in Washington, and will be
brought forward by Representative
wanted.
BIanton Cynical
BIanton Is cynical about the
policy of the District Commission
ers and Mai. e. B. Hesse in the
Burlingame affair. and believes the
stage ID set for a whttewash." He
thinks, apparently. that the police
captain has inside information about
police conditions in Washington.
that officials do not want to be
the subject Of a sensation at this
time.

Is opposed TO the suspension of
Captain Burlingame In advance of
the disposition of the charges
against him. He points to the cap

Craig had done away with Liggon
