said, yes, Frank said he had been
insulted and he wasn't coming in.
Do you think we ought to drag him
out and throw him in?"
But Martin Collins quietly said
it would be better if they let Maury
alone.
The man next to Dan said in
low voice that that was a good
idea. It'll suit me fine" he told
Dan, eff he doesn't wake up till
I'm gone"
When Anne Winter emerged
from the little building, Rorimer,
dripping with water, was sitting
on the edge of the pool, watching
for her with eager eyes.
Gorgeous looking, Anne was, in
a black bathing suit and white rub
Der helmet. He waved to her and
she came over and stood beside him
and asked him how the water was.
Fine" he said. Going in the
deep end?"
Anne smiled and nodded, and he
got up and took her by the hand
and led her to the Springing board.
You first, Anne, and I'll race
you to the other end. Okay?"
1t was. Anne replied gaily, and
he watched her walk confidently
to the end of the board, poise for
a moment and then, a slim and
lovely figure, cleave the air with
bewitching grace and disappear be-
meath the water with little
splash. He followed and, SWIM
ming under water, took her hand
and came up laughing happily.
That was a great dive, Anne.
You're good."' And he added: 81
like you in black, too"
Anne said, Your taste is too
tickle"
Meaning just what?" he urged,
swimming beside her. Something
in the curtness of her speech led
him to think that she might be
thinking of Maris Farrell.
He found himself hoping eagerly
that this was so, remembering an
earlier reference Anne had made
to Maris; she had said something
about his not appearing to be per-
ishing on the vine Of Maris' COM
pany.
But Anne refused to elaborate,
even after he had repeated his
question. and he let her beat him
to the end of the pool, where they
stood up in the shallow water, and
Anne scolded him mildly for not
exerting himself to win.
Masculine superiority of the
worst Sort" she termed it.
What? Because I didn't break
my neck to beat you? Life's too
short, Anne"
Because you showed so plainly
that you weren't trying" Her eyes
flashed scornfully.
WELL" Dan said meekly, can
I square it if I try real hard this
time?" and Anne aSSented.
So they retraced their course, and
this time Dan won by more than a
length. He said he hoped she was
satisfied. You made me work every
inch Of the way

Thousands Of birds in the Dis

PARLEY FAILURE
FEARED HERE
By GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service


A distinct note .of pessimism
over the prospective accomplish
n1ent of the London Naval Con-
ference has developed in Wash,
ington this week. It has grown to
such proportions that Admins
tration leaders were somewhat
worried today over the possibility
that the situation may be given
a critical airing in Congress,
which would be embarrassing for
the Administration as well as for
the American delegates.
The enforced recess Of the con-
ference, due to the French minis
terial upset, the now practical
certainty that the conference can
not accomplish any naval reduc-
ton, and the persistent demand
Of the French for a treaty of
security have combined to make
Congress exceedingly pesSimistic
concerning the whole project.
Afraid to Ask for Funds
It is because of fear of stir
ring things up" on Capitol Hill
that the Administration will re-
frain at this time from asking
Congress for additional appropria-
tionS for the American delegation,
Notwithstanding that the initial
appropriation Of 100000 is about
exhausted and the delegation is
about broke"
Notwithstanding efforts of Ad-
miniStration leaders to soft-pedal
public discussion Of the develop
mentS at London, various mem
bers Of Congress have begun to
air opinions about them. Thus
far they have been confined to
off-the-floor utteranceS. but II the
subject is once introduced into
general debate, particularly Sen.
ate debate. the outlook is one
which Administration leaders view
with some tZeuidAtioa.

GALLOWS SNAPS
WOMAN s HEAD
FROM BODY
CONTINUED from Page ~


AS she started the walk to the
execution chamber, supported by
q guard walking on either hand.
Mrs. Duggan's smile was q little
wry, but she did not falter.
During the solemn march, the
woman recited a bit Of doggerel:
I'VE come into this world all
naked and bare,
where we are going, the Lord
only knows where,
IF we are good fellows here,
we'll be good fellows there"
A hundred persons, including
four Florence women, went into
the gates, destined to witness the
most horrible execution in the
history Of Arizona hangings.
The trap was sprung at 400.
An instant later the woman's
body lay in a crumpled heap on
the platform as her head dan
gled grotesquely at the end Of
the rope above.
Rejects Last Minute Rites
It was scarcely necessary for
DR.. c. L. Long, prison physician,
to step to the gallowS and apply
his stethoscope, but he did so.
Mrs. Duggan, q 52year-old
housewife, was unperturbed end
even cheerful during her final
hours last night.
I'm ready to die now if I
must" she told jailers. This last
minute religion doesn't appeal to
me at all"
A last minute attempt to stay
Mrs. Duggan's execution failed
when the state board Of pardonS
and paroles refused the plea of
her attorneys to reconsider the
case. The lawyers argued that
the jury which found her sane
Wednesday was not unanimous.
Murdered for Property
Mrs. Duggan was convicted of
Staying Mathis, in 1927. it being
charged that she did it to gain
possession of his automobile and
other property.
Throughout the trial the house
keeper maintained that Mathis
was killed by a man she knew
only as Jack" She said she
and Jack" fled after the murder.
Mrs. Duggan had requested her
father to send money for her
funeral expenses. She made her
self a bead-adorned Shroud Of
silk, decorated with clusters Of
artificial flowers.
Among numerous kilograms and
letters received by Mrs. Duggan
at the condemned cell, was a
telegram from her daughter, Mrs.
Cecil Lovelace, New York
musician.
The telegram. dated at South
Bend, Ind, said:
MY dear mother, be brave.
God is with you. All my love.
will pray for you"
Makes No Statement
At the moment that Warden
Lorenzo Wright adjusted the
black cap, he said:
EVA, you have been brave. Is
there anything you wish to say?"
Mrs. Duggan simply shook her
head.
She was strapped with four
straps. 1t had been planned to
strap her with a pine plank at her
back in case her knees gave way.
That was found unnecessary.
Mrs. Duggan's body will be
buried in the small prison plot be-
hind the grim, gray concrete walls.
