Ia FOLLETTE'S
STATUE IS
UNVEILED

The memory Of Robert Marion
La Toilette. late Senator from Wis
consin, was extolled today when a
statue of the veteran legislator was
unveiled in Staturay Hall at the
Capitol.
The famous han, lined with marble
and bronze memorials to great men
and women of America, was crowded
to capacity as the La Toilette
statue was formarly presented to
the United States by the State of
Wisconsin.
Senator John ]. Blaine, in the
address of presentation, linked the
name Of La Toilette with that of
Father Marquette as "a pioneer, an
explorer, and a humanist." Nearly
40 years ago Wisconsin placed the
statue of Father Marquette in
Statuary Hall.
Always With the People
Even his enemies paid him the
tribute that no one was ever in
doubt where L Toilette would stand
on any public question" the Senator
declared. HE stood always with the
common people. He understood
them; ne never betrayed them:
HE loved them, and on his death
bed uttered these last words which
for generations will be an inspiration
to all sons and daughters of Wiscon-
sin: L am at peace with all the world,
but there Is a lot of work could
still do. l don't know how the people
will feel toward me, but / shall take
to the grave my love for them which
has sustained me through life.
Following Senator Blaine's ad.
dress, the marble statue of La
Toilette, the work Of Jo Davidson,
famous sculptor, was unveiled by
Robert La Toilette Sucher, grand
son of the Senator, and Mary Mon
tana Wheeler, daughter OF Senator
Wheeler OF Montana.
Son Speaks
There followed brief addresses by
Philip F. La Toilette, son; Charles
III. Crownhart, Gilbert z. Rowe,
Victor A. Olander, Mabel Corey
CoStigan, Claude G. Bowers and
Edward Keating.
The statue represents Senator
La Toilette in pose familiar to
many who knew him. The figure
is seated in a chair, the body
thrust forward as If to rise.

intended to do so in the near

There is no doubt in my mind, !"

Action by Congress
Looms AS Result of
Rum-Runner Killing

Congressional action on the kill
tng of Ottmer H. Fleming, alleged
rum-runner by Washington police
man yesterday loomed today as the
tragedy became matter of national
note.
Representative John C. Schafer Of
Wisconsin declared he would make
en- investigation of the facts sur
rounding the killing as soon as the
eoroner's inquest has completed it's
survey of the case.
Whatever action I take" Scha-
fer said, will be predicated on the
facts as developed at the inquest
and whatever new information
am able to verify. I cannot say
at this time what my course OF
action will be, but l intend to see
that something is done about it.
Schafer pointed out that almost
every motorist at one time or an.
other has started what might be
called a smoke screen while operat-
ing his car. Such a screen may be
due to faulty mechanism, and, there
canoe, he explained He said he in
tended to look carefully into, the
charge that the policeman fired at
the fleeing rum car after it became
enveloped in a dense cloud of smoke.
Sees Hoover Active
Representative Loring NJ. Black,
IT., of New York, declared that Presi-
dent Hoover should act to end the
unrestricted use of firearms by law
enforcement officers of every kind.
He said that the local incident was
but one in a chain of similar TRACE
dies which prohibition has forged
during the past few years.
Members of the Senate and the
House should send a petition to
President Hoover" Black suggested,
",lrHing him to restrain dry en-
fDrcement officers. whether Federal,
etate or local, from the unwise use
ef weapons in the exercise of their
duty.
No law enforcement officer has
ens right to usurp the places of
judge and jury in passing upon the
guilt or innocence of person sus-
pected of violating one of our many
laws and summarily executing
him."
Black pointed out that Harry Sin
clair, whom he, characterized as "a
man who tried to steal United
States OIL" was given his day in
court and finally sentenced to serve
three months at Occoquan.
Making 4 Living
"On the other hand" he said,
"this young man who was killed
yesterday was probably trying to
make living by selling liquor to
the American people who obviously
want it. Instead of being arrested
and given chance to clear him.

4 killed by a policeman without the

That common ordinary, good
for-nothing girl. Why. none of
the decent fellows back home
will even look at her.
She looked around at the big
bright room. How she had
dreamed of having a studio in
New York! How she had looked
forward to the time wien she
could come here to study and
work. And later on, how she
longed to be here with Neal.
Well. she was here. But all the
joy of being here was gone. All
her happiness had been crushed
into nothing by the sight of Lee
ota's red hair. and her shining,
gray-green eyes that seemed al.
ways to be on the lookout for
some man or other. Leota!
Leota and Neal!
You've been seeing her all

me the truth when she said you
had promised to find a job 70,

Neal made an angry movement
with his head. "Oh. stop heckling

begged her in his nervous. irritable
way. Suppose / did promise to

her a Job myself posing for some

goodlooking girl. and that's all
she is. To me. at least. So shut
up about her."
Ann Marie stared at him. She
had heard Howdv talk like this
dozens of times. but she never
dreamed that Neal could speak to
her as he was speaking to her,
that he could look at her in that
ugly. angry way!
II will shut up" she said
quietly. "And you 60 back to
your own flat" She set her lips.
Her eyes were bright with anger.
Neal started for the door. Then
suddenly he turned and came
back to her.
Ann Marie, don't be like this"
he said. and put his arms around
her. Il did tell that girl / would

her.

in your letter l question Is your
refusing to encourage Jacks
friendship at the outset, because
you never mix business with
pleasure"
The most charming friendships
and wholesale romances often
grow from business associations
out of office hours! Why should
they not?
However, you were not in love
with Jack and you knew another
girl was interested in him, SO you
took the wise stand.
Your dear friend is now Jacks
wife. She trusts you! There is
but one sporting thing for you to
do, and you are doing it-refuse
to think of Jack or let him treat
you in a sentimental way!
Laugh off his love-making-con-
tinue to be loyal to your friendship
to his wife-laugh yourself out of
any sentimentality toward him. 1t

other Job" Remain where you
are and take the sensible stand.
The marriage of your friend and
Jack may straighten itself out and
prove happy-they are simply 60
ing through an unhappy phase.
Be a good friend to both and seek
wholesome friendships and ro-
nance. You can help their ro-
nance and your own---by refusing
to become entangled!
