It's just dreadful, the way the news

Hollis apparently shared her
dread of publicity. When they
reached New York, they went to
different hotels. Ashtoreth took a
train for Boston. And Hollis flew
over by air mail.

Her eyes were cleaning like
stars, and her skin was pale, and
soft as the petals of the pure white
orchids she wore. He thought he
had never before seen a woman
so beautiful and SO altogether de-
sirable.
"Pll never be quite happy" he
whispered, until you've married
me. I shan't dare be sure Of you
until then, Orchid"
They drove for an hour through
Central Park, and he held her in
his arms, and kissed her as though

NORRIS! DENOUNCES
POWER METHODS
Contributions Of People Used
to Deceive Them, Says
Senator.

Senator Norris, Republican. Of Ne
braska, in a statement issued yester-
day, declared that testimony taken by
the Federal Trade Commission regard
ing the financing of the Mobile, Ala.
Press is an illustration "of the secret
and dishonorable means used by the
power trusts to conceal from the public
the method by which they are using
the contributions of the public to de-
ceive the public"
Where the trust could not buy
newspapers they did not hesitate to
establish newspaper" the Senator
declared.
TN order to cover their tracks in
Mobile, Mr.. Martin loaned the money
to Mfr. A:6ridge. Mr. Aldridge loaned
the money to MIR. McGowin. Mr.. Nc
Gown loaned the money to NJ.
Chandler. the subscriber to the STOCK
in the new paper.
Power Company Connection.
"Mr Martin who lives in Birming-
ham. is general counsel of the Ala
bama Power Co. and a brother of the
president of that company.
"Mr. Aldridge. who also lives in Bir-
mingham. is president of the South
eastern Fuel Co. and the Union Coal
Co.. both of which companies are sub
salaries of the Southeastern Power &
Light Co, part of the trust and
which company controls the Alabama
Power Co
Mr.. McGowin is millionaire living
in Mobile He was the dummy who
was used to show that the money thac
went into this paper did not originate
with the power trust.
Truth Brought Out.
cit took all of the ingenuity of Mr.
Healy, the attorney for the Federal
Trade Commission, to finally worm this
evidence out Of these unwilling wit
nesses. The truth is now known.
Until this evidence was brought out
YESTERDAY this power trust paper was
frantica1ly denying that any power
money was involved in the establish
ment of the paper and was denouncing
almost daily thes claims made on the
| floor of the Senate that. If the truth
were unfolded, it would be found thac
| the power trust furnished he money
that brought about the establishment
of a newspaper in territory where
they were unable to control, through
advertising or any other means, the
editorial policy of the newspapers
already established"

GRAF ZEPPELIN TAKES
 FOR LAKEHURST

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27, (P, The Graf Zeppelin got under way at 12:14 A. NJ. today on the last leg of its world cruise, for Lakehurst, N. J.
 The slight damage to it's rudder failed to affect the flight, as the huge ship continued across Amer ica. The tail of the Graf scrap ed against some high tension wir- es as she took off, the accident being caused by not yet gaining enough altitude. This caused a slight, change in her course and the dirigible headed southward along the coast into Mexico, be- fore turning eastward to cross the mountain ranges. Reports from along the route indicated that the ship was flying low and at a speed of from fifty to seventy-five miles an hour.

JERUSALEM, Aug, 27, (P)- Twelve Americans were killed and fifteen Americans injured by Arabs as they assisted in the defense of the Slaboka Rabbinical College at Herdon, where they were students. The casualties for three days of fighting has reached around sev- enty on both sides. The wounded number into the hundreds, and al so there is large property damage. The names of the Am ericans is as yet unknown but all were reported to have come from American cities and were studying at the college. There are several contigents of British troops, num- bering six hundred and fifty men, due Here tonight from Egypt Three British warships arrived to- day from Malta. Authorities have charged that the uprising is part of a well ordered plot by the Arabs to overthrow the gov ernment.
 The fighting, which started first in the streets of Jerusalem. has rapidly spread to the many sub urbs. where spirited battles have taken place and unknown casual ties resulted. British airplanes bombed the city of Lifta, said to be the headquarters of the Arabs. Armored cars are everywhere dash ing swiftly through the streets, giving the entire region. the ap- pearance of an armed camp.

The Nome nugget., 1929-08-31

Late Saturday evening the in fant child of MT. and Mrs. Geo. NJ. Collier was found to be dead at the Collier home and the moth CT in state of serious mental dis order. It appears that Max Got tschalk, former husband of Mrs. Collier, and father of two of the children under her guidance. came in from Little Greek where he is working and visited the home, as he usually is accustomed to, and provides for the family to some extent.
 Max inquired of the two little girls how everything was going and was told that they had not heard the new baby cry or make any noise for a couple of days. and had not Seen it. When Max went into the bedroom he discover ed the mother in bed and the dead child with her. but could not ascertain how long the baby had been dead or what had hap pened. The mother was in ter rible state of mentality, and Max notified the United States Marsha Jones as to what he found and the conditions existing in the Col fer home; whereupon the ana critics took the matter in hand and placed Mrs. Collier in custody under a charge of insanity, and temporary arrangements to care for the children have been made.
 Yesterday. coroner's inquest was held over the death of the baby and they found that the child had died on or about August 24th as result of starvation and neg lect on account of the mental con dition of the mother. An inquiry into the sanity of Mrs. Collier will be held in the U S. Commission CTS court on Tuesday, August 27 at 2:30 P M.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25, (P) The Graf was sighted off Farra- Ion Island by the marine outlook at two minutes after six this af- ternoon, and also a few minutes later from the Presidio, heading directly for Golden Gate, As she came over Frisco she nosed grace fully through the clouds and the sun glinted from her sides. Thous- ands of people lined the hills and watched her come up the bay. She swung directly over the city above Market Street and airplanes swarmed about her. The radio operators talked for few minutes and the craft then skirted the Presidio and headed southwest for the coast which she apparent ly intended to follow down to Los Angeles. The visit to this city occupied a little less than an hour.

The first trip on the new sched- ule was changed today, Aug. 27th; the next trip will be September 3, and the last up river trip this season will start from St. Michael September 10th.

 LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26, [P)- Eleven o'clock tonight has been set as the hour of departure of the Graf for Lakehurst, on the fin al leg of it's world tour. Refuel- ing is expected to be completed by eight p. m. The passengers were ordered to be ready to en- bark early this evening.
 The Graf was moored at 5:11 A. M. this morning, completing the five thousand eight hundred mile flight from Kasumigaura in sey- enty eight hours and fifty-eight minutes, the first nonstop flight across the Pacific and achieved in third the time of the fastest lin CTS between Japan and Seattle. Eckner, who was seriously ill for two days on the flight, was rush. ed to a downtown hotel here. He was prepared to address the people but the statement which he had on paper was torn from his hand as he leaned from the control ov- CT Santa Barbara; arrangements are now being made to issue his remarks in the papers. He was highly enthusiastic over the suc- cess of the trip and was convinced by this demonstration, that lighter than-air craft transportation is en- tirely feasible for ocean travel.
 In an interview with reporters, Wilkins said, "N was pleasant to take the trip and also a pleasure to be free from responsibility. This trip has proved one thing, the value of meteorological re- ports, but there is one thing that must be improved before airplanes can be successfully operated over long distance runs such as this one, and that is that there must be closer cooperation among the weather experts and from the many different fields. congratulate Dr. Eckner on the success of his flight.
