ENGLEWOOD. N. j.. June 25.-In-
stead OF being without pair Of shoes
to his name, the 3-day-old Lindbergh
baby hasn't a name to his four pairs
OF shoes.
Arrangements were made today to
add the fact of his birth last Sunday
to New Jerseys vital statistics, but it
was learned from friends of Col. and
Mrs. Lindbergh that the birth certifi-
cate would be filed without having the
name of the infant entered upon 1t.
There is no disagreement in the
Lindbergh family regarding selection of
a name, but the parents wish to take
all the time necessary to choose the
best possible name for their son.
The four pairs of shoes are the gift
of a New York shoe manufacturer
One, pair, fashioned of the "softest
white kid imaginable" is embroidered
with gold beads of infinitesimal size to
a design representing the monoplane in
which Col and Mrs. Lindhergh made
their record flight from Glendale, Calf,
to New York.
Another pair, of pale blue kid, has
the aviation insignia OF pair of wings
worked on it in silver beads. There
is a pair of white kid with f1eur de lis
motif, symbolical of the fathers flight
to France, interspersed with hand
painted rosebuds. The fourth pair

HARRISON ASSAILS

senator Harrison. Democrat. of Mis-

charging that the continued unsettled

They charge that part of the alleged
scheme was the long-drawn-out con-
sideration of the tariff bills by the SEN

uIous? Every person familiar with the

publican leaders of their campaign

Harrison asserted in mo other ad-

such lack of confidence either in the
statements or actions of those who d.
rect the affairs of this Nation.

deliberately putting his head in nOOse' which
is what did actually happen. No, his eVasive-
ness on certain points, such as his whereabouts
after the murder, was simply in an effort TO
shield his mother from shame and protect tne
one guilty Of the crime.
In some manner David Wells knew who
killed his father! When he bought two tickets
for that town in Nevada one was for Grace
Varney and the other was not for himself,
but for the guilty one. David Wells would
have gone farther than that, he would have
rome to the electric chair, to protect that one
for it was his mother!

vuess the truth, but David did. The next
day he was going to send them away, the two
women he loved. Maybe II was the diamonds
which his mother had taken, perhaps the
ernbers OF the burned wiIl-but somehow David
Wells guessed the truth.
In the courtroom did he not make frenzied
effort to plead guilty TO the charge, fearing
A confession would be made by his mother?
She knew Of David's proposed VISITOR the
appointment had been made during the after
noon. The poor. old lady stood outside the

Eta Billings would no longer have been in the
house. We must assume, therefore, that Eta
Billings had no motive TO kill Mr.. Wells, rather
the contrary was true. Her mother, how.
ever, had mOmentary apprehension that .
splt-up had come, hence her fear, and her
search OF the servants quarters first.
Ii Eta had been guilty, Martha GrOOd would
have seen 1t Immediately and not have left
her daughters room. II Martha GrOOd herself
had been guilty, she would have permitted
some one else to discover the body. An ele-
mental mind like hers would have seen some
lmaginary connection between the finding Of
the body and guilt II her conscience had been
q guilty one.

Dale was engrosSed now in
the letter. Conroy sat down on
the edge Of the berth and
glanced over Dale's/ shoulder,
studying the letter at the same
time.
For Is minutes no word was
spoken. Then Dale glanced UP
and asked q question.

Conroy laid his automatic
out right under his hand.

this letter fairly shrieks from
the page.l It's the simplest
kind of a cipher-so simple
that It's liable to evade you.
Keep your eye on that door
and I'll read the real message
in the letter."
Dale had scarcely time to
finish when the door started
to open slowly. Then suddenly
it swung back. But Conroy was
too fast. He shot and through
the cloud of smoke a form
reeled and crashed head fore
most into the compartment.

your own class work is not
