SEEKERS SCORE
CHAIN STORES
Two of Major Candidates
Charge EnCroachment
Against System.
BY JOHN SORRELLS
seripps- Howard stan Correspondent


FIT. WORTH. Tex, Feb. 14.-Poli-
tics in Texas has entered the chain
store fight, with scathing denunci-
ations Of the system by at least two
major candidates.
Texas cities are dividing into
camps, for and against chain op-
Grafton of stores.
The most recent activity has been
on the part Of former Senator Earle
B. Mayfeld, now a candidate for
Governor, and James V. Alfred. for
several years district prosecutor,
and two years ago runnerup in tbs
attorney-generars race in Texas.
Candidate Again
He is a candidate for that place
gain this year. Meantime agents

Dendent-store operators in Texas
INTO an organization known as "the
minute men"
An organization was perfected in
Dallas Wednesday night and an,
other is to be formed in TT. Worth
Monday. The FIT Worth meeting
will be held in the old Ku-Klux
Khan klavern.
The organization in Texas Is
backed by politicians and wholesal-
ers who have been in business IN
Texas for a number Of years. These
wholesalers are taking the stand
that the chain stores are encroach-
ing on the rights of the indepen-
dents. According to opponents OF
the ant.-chain store fight, already
there is pending legislation which
would place a heavy tax upon chain
store operators in Texas.
Bring Big Sum
This tax. it is estimated, would
bring a revenue of 100000 into
Texas, or drive the chain stores out
of the state. Concerning the anti
chain legislation, Mayf1eld said 1t
would compel the absentee owned
stores to pay taxes and share their
part of the city, county and state
burden. which is not done at pres
ent; become a part of the commun-
ity in which they serve, contribute
their part for support of charitable
institutions, schools, churches and
public movements, and to invest a
part of their profits in Texas prop
critics or Texas securities. Only such
a plan as this would be equitable,
he argued.
Mayf1eld charged three chain sys-
TENS operated by foreign ownership
made profits of $11, 30O,000 last year
in Dallas, all of which was taken
out of the city.

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh will re-

day a special gold medal, awarded him
by Congress to commemorate his i'm
posing list of achievements in the adj
vancement of the science of aviation
Col. Lindbergh, accompanied by his
wife, Mrs. Anne Morrow Lindbergh,
will fly to Washington from New York
They will arrive in time for the cere-

them, together with q lantern. The
women were overjoyed at the hos
pitality of their peasant protectors, who
cramped themselves in order to make
room in their homes for their guests.
Once the women were forced to stay
in room with three beds, two of which
were offered the sisters while the wom-
an of the house and her children all
slept in the single one remaining. There
was also roosting place for several
chickens in the room.
Once a man came to this house to
reasSure the sisters and tell them of
the safety of the two priests, who also
were being smuggled through the bandit
lines. The man cautiously pulled back
his vest to reveal a belt full of bullets
and indicated that the house was sur
rounded by friends who were ready to
give their lives in its defense.
Women Locked in Loft.
At one of the places where the party
stopped they were locked in a loft, in
which wooden horses and few boards
formed the women's beds and the only
furniture in the room. They arrived at
night and were kept there, virtually
prisoners, for two days, having little
appetite for the food which was brought

able to speak above a whisper for fear
of betraying their presence to I'M
friendly ears outside their loft abode.
Rain fell to further impede their
night journeys, which frequently were
made in total darkness, since it would
not have been safe on these occasions
to use the lantern which the boy had
obtained for them at Ia Ho Ii. Some
times they slipped from the pathway
into bitches and puddles. Once in the
night they hid in the darkness as q
party of men, carrying lanterns, ap-
preached them, moving with ominous
quiet. They thought their hour had
come. But the men proved to be friends
and guided them further on their
journey.
When the women arrived at a point
few miles from Kanchow, they
learned that military escort had been
sent to bring them safely into the city.
The soldiers had missed them, how
ever, and they we're in doubt whether
to go on into the city or turn back.

One of their Chinese guides convinced
them it was safer to try for the city
and this they did, riding the last stretch
in chairs carried by Chinese. The city
was practically surrounded by bandits
and had been attacked unsuccessfully
on the morning of the day they ar
rived, They were fortunate enough to
find the gates unlocked and reached
t,Aeir mission in safety after five days
ana nights of most hazardous, nerve
wracking travel.
Has Adventure Spirit.
Sister Helen, the daughter of mill
tary leader and granddaughter of a
statesman, has the adventurous fighting
spirit that expresses itself in tackling
difficult tasks and facing danger with
undaunted courage. Six years ago she
launched her big adventure, when she
decided to go to the Orient and enter
the Catholic Mission at Kanchow. She
declares that she wants to dedicate her
entire life to the task of helping her
foreign brothers-and the greater the
difficulties involved the more absorbing
the adventure.
She is content to stay in Kanchow,
bandits and all.
