CHAPTER XIV

FNhEI were going HOIne dSdllI'
Sailing from Harve on the Vic
tory. In a week they would be in
Boston.
Mogg was packing. Five wardrobe
trunks. -Four shoe boxes. And
steamer trunks for the linens
Household furnishings Fere be-
ing Grated. Brocades and credenzas
and an old refectory table that
Hollis had picked up in Venice. And
toilet things that were said to have
been used by Marie Antoinette.
Hollis wrapped the toilet set
himself, sending out for an arm
full of tissue. There was a tea set
also. to which he gave his personal
attention.
The cups were dininutive china
swans, with beautiful necks. And
they rested on saucers of solid gold
They had belonged to Empress
Josephine. Hollis explained to
Ashtoreth that Josephine's en-
blem was a swan, and Napoleon's
a bee.
He had found a piece of crimson
brocade embroidered with golden
bees, and believed it to be frag-
ment from the Emperor's canopied
bed at Versailles.
Hollis was greatly excited about
his treasures. Almost effeminate,
Ashtoreth thought. She hated to
see him handling small things with
the care a woman would have
given them.
The concierge came to help, and
brought two assistants with him.
Then Hollis handed Ashtoreth's
f1ocks to Mogg, and helped her slip
them on the hangers. He handled
great piles of frothy lingerie. and
made order out of chaos.
Then he ordered more packing
boxes, and began the packing of
his dearest find. The. concierge and
his helpers might pack books and
pictures.
But tea sets and toilet sets, and
the vases from Limoges; crystal
jars that were Pompadour's, and
the snuff box that was du Barry's
Hollis handled these with rever-
ent hands.

thought, "the way he loves those

And she thought of the way
Monty would act in a room that
was cluttered with lingerie and tea
sets and Marie Antoinette's toilet
articles.
Like bull in china shop" she
reflected, and smiled to herself.
We'll, that's the way man ought
to act"
.Bored?" asked Hollis, glancing
up from his self-appointed work of
swathing a cup in ten sheets of
tissue.
"Dreadfully," she told him. 'I
hate packing"
But you've nothing to de-" he
protested. ''Mogg will take care of

Hollis Strengthened from his task.
why Of course not, child. Run

dark brim over her eyes.

FASCIST
PEACE NEAR

ROME. June s Q.N.S.).-Despite
the rift between Pope Plus XI and
Premier Mussolini over the interpre-
tation Of portions of the Lateran
treaties, notably the clauses relating
to the education of youth, optimistic
belief prevailed today that the diff
ferences will be composed in future
diplomatic conversations.
The divergence of views was en-
phasized by the pope's letter to
Papal Secretary of State Cardinal
Gasparri, taking Premier Mussolini
to task for speeches he made in the
Senate and Chamber of Deputies
while the treaties were under debate.
The strong tone employed by the
pontiff in criticizing what he termed
the "heretical expressions" of the
Italian premier has tempered the
iubilation which followed the set
tlement of the 59-year-oId conflict
between the Catholic church and
the state.
The Pontiff claims for the church
right to direct the education of the
young.
Preparations for the exchange of
treaties continue. 1t was announced
today that the exchange of ratifi-
cations would take place in Cardi.
nal Gasparri's apartment.
Vatican attaches were busy
throughout the afternoon preparing
the Hall of Congrege tions-the
largest public room in the Vatican
for Premier Mussolinis visit to-
morrow at II o'clock.

MooREsToWN. N. j., June 6
Q.NS0.-With certain elements in
the deaths of Ruth Mowdray Will
son and Horace Roberts, jr., sug-
gestive of the famous Hall-Mills
case, Chief County Detective Ellis
Parker today kept plugging along
on his investigation despite the
official stamp of murder and sui
eide placed by authorities upon the
episode.
Preston Roberts. half.brother of
the dead youth, openly declared
that he was unsatisfied with the
murder.suicide theory.
II never knew my brother to
carry a revolver and neither did
my father" he said. While my
father believes the version given
by the police to be true. I do
not believe Horace could have done
anything of the kind. He was of
kindly disposition and ], cannot
believe he could kill any one"
Miss Wilson and Young Roberts
were both members of wealthy fami'
lies. Their bodies were found in
her bedroom. Two bullets were
fired into Miss Wilson's temple
and three into Roberts head.
The revolver apparently promotes
hope that further light may be
thrown on the mystery. Parker
said that he was checking up with
the manufacturer of the gun. The
detective outwardly sticks to the
murder-suicide theory, but admitted
that there were many things about
the case that he would like cleared

One of the biggest sweepstake
winners Is Julian Calm. well-knoWn
Nottinghamshire cricketer, who
paid $2.500 for a half share in the
stock exchange ticket on Trigo, and
as a consequence profits by mtre

Widows Win
An aunt of Calm, from whom he
purchased the half interest, also
will receive 100000. She is a
widow, and another woman in her

Grath of Dublin, mother Of four
children, will profit by almost $685.

A clerk in a business office in
Cudtshoorn, South Africa, drew
Trigos Calcutta Sweepstake ticket,
and unless he parted with all or
a portion Of it, he will receive al
most three-quarters of a million

BITTERNESS
IN HOUSE
BY international News Service

BY international News Service
Alarmed by the bitterness
of the struggle over proposals
to reduce Southern representa-
tion in Congress, because of
alleged disfranchisement of
negroes, and that Of Northern
States, because Of alien popu-
lation, House leaders today
appealed to the membership
for harmony. Not since re-
construction days has the
House seen such sectional ami
mosities.
All attempts 10 invoke the power
Of the Republican organization to
settle the quarrel have been aban-
doned, but informal negotiations
with leaders of the various factions
were continuing today as the House
neared final consideration Of the re-
apportionment-census bill.
Fear was expressed by friends
of the measure that II would b
defeated, and their efforts to force
Congress to abide hv the Constitu-
ton and direct a reapportionment
of the House membership on the
1880 census would be lost.
Representative Tilson (R) Of Con-
necticut, majority leader, declared
that no rule would be proposed for.
elimination of the Tinkham amend
ment. aimed at Southern States. or
the Hoch amendment, to exclude
5000 900 aliens from the population
count in dividing Congressman
among the States. This sugges-
ton was rejected by the House
Steering Committee.
There remained the hope that the
riotous mood which forced adjourn
ment of the House on Tuesday has
passed and that both the amend
ments may be voted down.
Tinkham and Hoch Firm
Representative Tinkham R) Of
Massachusetts,, author of the
amendment designed to transfer IS
to so Southern Congressman from
Southern to Northern States by ex-
| cIuding negroes from the South s
population count on the ground
| that they are denied the right to
vote. and Representative Hoch R)
| of Kansas, author of the alien
amendment, both were inclined to
stick by their guns.
Opponents of reapportionment,
which would give California, Mich
igan and other fast growing states
| more Congressmen because they
have outstripped many midwest
| agricultural and southern States In
population. found some satisfaction
| In the situation. II either the Tink.
| ham or Hoch amendments remain
in the bill, they, believe 1t will. be
| defeated. .
The situation has split party
lines and divided the House into
both sectional and State groups.
| New York and Massachusetts Demo-
Gratis are bitter over the blow at
their States by excluding aliens
from the population count for re.
apportionment and have indicated
they would support the Tinkham
| amendment, even though it cuts
Democratic membership.
Midwest Republicans from States
! likely to lose Congressman have
Joined the Southern Democrats in
the fight on the alien amendment,
and are divided on the Tinkham pro-
posal.
1T is our hope said Representa-
tive Tilson, that as members re-
fleet upon the serious consequences
to reapportionment of the Tinkham
and alien amendments that they
will reverse their action and strike
both from the bill. 1t does not ap.
pear that the bill can pass with
both in it."
Included with reapportionment in
the bill are provisions for taking

The new farm bill, provid-
ing $500,000,000 relief for
American agriculture but
stripped of the export de-
benture plan, will be sent to
the White House for Presi-
} dent Hoover's approval by
next "Wednesday, under a pro-
gram adopted today by admin
istration leaders.
The compromise measure will be
ratified by the House this after
noon or tomorrow and then rushed
to the Senate where a fight Is
pending over elimination OF the
debenture. Administration leaders,
however. announced that a careful
poll showed the Senate would aban-
don the debenture, which it once
added to the bill over Presidential
opposition.
Ready to Switch
Fifty-two Senators were reported
ready to vote against the debenture
on it's second appearance in the
Senate. The plan was adopted by
a vote of AZ to "A. but eight other
Senators were equally divided for
and against through pairs. The
new poll by administration leaders
indicated that four Senators, who
once voted for the debenture, were
now ready to switch. 1t was ru.
mored that Senators Schan tRD OF
Minnesota, Trammell D) of Florida,
Fletcher Cd of Florida. and kend-
rick tD) OF Wyoming, formed this
quartet.
The debenture fight may require
several DAYS Of debate in the Senate
but administration leaders were
anxious to keep it brief for two
reasons. First, the aH-summer vaca-
ton of Congress cannot begin until
the farm bill is sent TO the White
House and second the administra-
tion wants its relief machinery in
action to handle the huge wheat
crop which has Just started toward

Prices Steady
Farm produce prices meanwhile

that the final approval OF the Dill
