PAPER SUSPENDED
BY HAVANA ORDER
Editor Jailed as DiariO de ID
Marina Is Closed for Second
Time in Month.
By the Associated Press.


HAVANA, December 19.-For the
second time within a month public
ton of the influential daily newspaper,
Diario de la Marina, has been suspend
ed by the government.
The plant of the newspaper was
closed last night preventing this morn
1ng's issue, upon order of the Depart
ment of Interior. Aldo Baroni, editor,
was confined in the prison for federal
offenders at the Cabanas Fortress. 4
police guard was stationed outside the
plant to prevent any one entering.
The first interruption to the papers
SO years of continuous publication came
q month ago when q voluntary sus-
pension was carried out for Ia days in
protest against censorship.
A statement by DR.. Rafael Mario
Angulo, president of the Press ASso-
citation Of Cuba, protests the closing
down of the paper rs unjustified and
unconstitutional After calling atten-
ton to the fact that 1t is the dean of
Cuban newspapers and one Of the Oldest
in "the three Americas" he says:
Founded 80 years ago, it has been
a stanch bulwark and constant defender
OF the conservative classes of Cuba. My
protest Is all the more emphatic be-
cause nothing has been published in
the recent editions of this paper which
might be even remotely construed as
tending to criticize the Machado re-
gime,"

PORTALS DESIGN
Park and Planning Board
Members Delay Final AC-
ton on Entrances.

While no final action was taken, the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission today expressed preference
for the two-column design in the pro-
posed monumental entrances to the Dis
trict. G. L. Wirth, the commission
landscape architect, conducted group
of interested ladies on tour of inspec-
ton of the proposed entrances and will
report back to the commission.
Mrs. Frank B. Noyes, on behalf of the
Garden Club of America, invited the
attention of the commission to the adj
visibility Of erecting suitable entrances
to the Capital, as a feature of prepara-
tions for the 1882 George Washington
Bi-Centennial celebration here. Capt.
E. N. Chisolm, jr., the commissions en-
gtneer, said the commission was con-
sidering the placing of suitable archi-
tectural markers at these entrances TO
the city: Bladensburg road, Georgia
avenue, Piney Branch road. the High
way Bridge and Chain Bridge.
Approves Legislation.
The commission approved in gen.
thorize the District Commissioners to
close certain streets In the city with
out the necessity for resorting to con-
gressional action. The commission also
generally approved the proposed bill to
eliminate gradually the alley dwellings
in the District, but asserted that an
amendment should be inserted direct
ing that the provisions of the bill be
carried out directly under the District
Commissioners. The bill is substan-
TALLY the same as that which has pre-
viously been in Congress. The legis-
lation is designed to weed out the alley
jewellers, as a sanitary and city beau
tification program, but at the same time
preserve personal and property rights.
Circle Wins Over Oval.
A circle, instead Of an oval, at Wis
cousln avenue and the District line, was
made certain through the action of the
commission, whose members explained
that the District Commissioners have
approved this new program.
Charles @. Glover, jr., appeared before
the commission, representing the Home
for Incurabies, and spoke about the
location of a playground and recreation
center in that area. The commission
desired to learn the views Of interested
citizens on establishing the playground
but Capt. Chisolm explained that the
final site has not yet been selected.

appeared from behind a door and
threatened him with a pistol. He did
not shoot, however, but struck Lerner

ington, but not the be

proaches to the Capital City.
This feeling is indicated in
an editorial appearing this week In
the Saturday Evening Post, which
says:
The physical aspect of Washington,
the Nations Capital, is characterized by
charm, grace and sheer magnificance.
Commission after commission has
sought with an eVer-mounting degree
of success to beautify the city. George
Washington conceived 1t originally and
a talented French engineer officer
made the first plans on noble scale.
One President after another has given
a really unstinted enthusiasm to the
project and Congress has been any
thing but niggardly in appropriating
funds for vast and ornamental public
buildings In recent years two able
men, Senator Smoot and Secretary
Mellon. have been especially interested
in forwarding the mighty building pro-
gram. Meanwhile the pattern of parks,
monuments, boulevards, highways and
bridges has taken an ever-f1ner shape.

SYNOPSIS: HaIlie EllesmOre, nurse who blinded Saxely Gran mock by deserting him during a crucial treatment, and Rose Conaldine, the girl he loves, are the same person, but Gran mock is kept in ignorance of the fact. Hallie nurses him through another operation which even tually will restore his sight. Meanwhile Lester Br0on, Gran nock's half brother, who was to blame for Hallie's original dereIiction of duty, forces Hallie to marry him by threatening to tell Grannock her secret If she does not. Mrs. Bartholomew, an eccentric old woman, learns of HaIlie's hatred of her hus- band. She kills Lester and her self, and it develops that she was Clem Conaldine in disguise, whow as Hallie's father and wanted for another murder 20 years before. In New York an- other Rose Conaldine is led to believe by her interruptions lawyer guardian, Perle, that she is the heiress of Glenn Conal- dine's fortune, of which Perie is trustee, but after the murder is told she has no right to it. Perle has told Hallie before the murder that she is not the rightful heiress.

IN THE ENEMYS CAMP

A - O%-N
 Hallie, after the first shock Of Lester's murder and the revelation that Mrs. Bartholomew had been her father, telephoned from South cliff for an appointment with MT, Perle. To her he was still the k1nd- ly lawyer who had explained that she was the daughter of Clem Con- aldine by a woman other than his wife.
 T feel that I wanted to get away from Southcliff," she said, her voice not too steady. Reporters are in every room and the police question me over and over again on mat ters about which I know nothing. ' She paused and took deep breath. They don't believe me when l tell them that I didn't guess that Mrs. Bartholomew was my-my father, in disguise. Perhaps you won't be- lieve me, either?"
 My dear young lady, will you, believe me when I tell you that l did not know that your mother was Conaldine's legal wife?"
 Hallie relaxed slightly.
 You and I, Miss Conaldine, can believe each other because we can lose nothing by telling each other the truth. If you were suddenly to confess to- me that during all those years you were secretly shielding your unfortunate father, I could only pay homage to your devotion. And if I were to say that I had purposely misled you about your ah-parentage you would ask me what in the world I gained by so doing and my answer would be- Nothing, whatever Therefore my dear Miss Conaldine, we have no doubt a great deal to explain to each other but nothing at all to prove or to protest. Isn't that so?''
 Mrs. Bartholomew mean, my father impled, very strongly. that he had married my mother. It was almost the last thing we talked about, last night"
 'Indeed!" MT Perle leaned earn estly forward. But let us first dis cuss the immediate future. You will need someone to watch your interests at the inquest"
 "Yes. I told the police inspector that I would ask you. You sec" she hesitated-"I don't know wheth- CT it has been made public yet, but the man shot was-my hus- band.
 MT. Broom and I were married privately about two weeks ago." Hallie ploughed on. We were to rejoin each other today-I have been in Baltimore, until just lately. And Mrs.-my father disliked MT. Broom very much"
 "Indeed!" muttered MT. Perle. "If

MT. Perle, twas perhaps not quito satisfactory from your fathers point of view? Forgive my pressing this point, but did MT. Broom drink more i than"
 "Yes. Yes" Hallie grasped at this It shot grotesquely through her mind that Lester would not in the least mind being branded habitual drunkard after his death. I'm afraid he did drink"
 "Ah!" MT. Perle sounded relieved Now, think very carefully Was MT. Broon intoxicated when he came to your fathers house last night?"
 T believe he was"
 "Ah!" said MT. Perle. And now let us go over all these facts again one by one" l An hour later Hallie was begin ming to feel giddy with the strain but MT. Perle remained singularly blind to her distress.
 Naturally, my best services-my full powers-will be at your dis pcsal," he said. And that brings us to the other matter which lies between us. I should like to broach lit without delay"
