BOOST ROGERS
FOR POST AS
! Us. ATTORNEY
Move Is Launched to Break
Robinson and Watson
Deadlock.

With Senators James e. Watson
and Arthur r. Robinson reported
Sdeadlocked" over appointment Of
a United States district attorney to
succeed Albert Ward, whose term
will expire Feb. "a, the name OF
Eliza o. Rogers, state Republican
committee chairman, has been sug-
gested as a compromise candidate.
According to local politicians,
Watson fayors appointment Of John
K. Ruckelshaus, young Indianapolis
attorney. Robinson, they agree, Is
opposed to Ruckelshaus, desiring an
appointee living outside Marion
county, and favors Circuit Judge
Cleo Mount of Upton.
Rogers Not Candidate
Rogers is not candidate for the
post. but would accept in the in
terests of party harmony, if draft
ed, it was said. His appointment
would necessitate reorganization
of the Republican state committee.
Watson is reported to be as
strongly opposed to selection of
Mount as Robinson is to Ruckels-
hsus.
Under the usual arrangement the
appointment would be recommend
ed by Watson with Robinson con-
curing.
In the past federal appointments
have been divided, with Watson
naming the district attorney and
collector of internal revenue, while
Robinson named the United States
marshal and collector of customs.
Ward to Practice Law
Oliver E. Loomis, Robinson,s sec
rotary, was named district attorney
for the northern division federal
court several months ago when the
district of Indiana was divided into
two districts, northern and south
ern.
M. Bert Thurman, former col
leetor of internal revenue and now
Republican national committeeman
from Indiana, has held several con-
ferences recently with Watson and
Robinson in regard to the appoint
ment.
Ward, who has held the position
four years, is not a candidate for
reappointment, desiring to enter the
private practice of law, but probably
would continue to fill the office un-
til appointment of a successor in
case of delay, he has indicated.

| them-between the handSomest man
in the Starbridge building and the
dowdiest, frurnpiest, most tinid-
looking little secretary.
Then one day he had appeared at
the eleyator-not the elevator in
his wing of the building, but at the
one across the hall from Harry Bor-
den's Offices. She could hear him
now, see the dancing light in his
bronze brown eyes, the whimsical
quirk to his mouth, as he had said:
81 wonder if you'll let me lunch
with you, Miss Lester, so can find
where you get such potent bread
crumbs My greatest ambition in
life is to have that black rascal of
a pigeon eating out of my hand,
too"
She had wanted to turn back,
then, into her own Office, for five
swift minutes at the mirror-just
long enough to remove her Specta-
Giles, scrub off that sickly yelloWish
powder, release the golden glory of
her curls, but the elevator came,
and her opportunity to show him
how Ruth Lester really looked had
been lost.
It was during that first luncheon
of theirs that Ruth's resolve was
made. For Jack Hayward had
talked to her as no man since her
fathers death had talked--as if she
had a mind worthy of his; as if she
were something more than a beau

nent shall fail. For she already
loved hinl-the outside and the in
side of him.
What if he should only like and
feel congenial with her n1ird. and
fail, because of her disguise, to love
her as man must love the woman
he marries?
But that would have to be her
risk, she resolved
"nHw Ruth, came to herself
Owith a start, and smiled at the

realized that she had arrived at

"It is for Mr.. Borden--I mean Mr..

The ticket agent raised his eye
brows at her slip. then gave her
long, significant glance, in which
there was a little establishment.
Hope you have nice weekend,
Mrs.-Benton.
Ruth flushed wildly. THANK
you, but I am not-Mrs. Benton"
AS she turned back toward the
Starbridge building, her errands ac-
complished, she wondered who Mrs.

she shivered a little and was glad
that it was not she.
