THUS rudely awakened from
n deep slumber, her first glance
revealing the scowling features of
the Hinean, Stellara opened her
mouth to scream for help, and, as
she did so, jude forced the ball of
grass between her teeth and far into
her mouth, dragged her to her feet,
and, throwing her across his shout
der, bore her swiftly downward
across the table-land
Stellara struggled and fought to
free herself, but jude was a power
full man and her efforts were of no
avail against his strength. He held
her in such way that both her arms
were confined.
The ball of grass expanded in her
mouth and she could not force it
out with her tongue alone. A single
scream she knew would awaken
Tanar and bring him to her rescue,
but she could not scream.
Down across the rolling table-land
the Himean carried Stellara to the
edge of a steep cliff that overl1ung
the sea, at the upper end Of deep
cove which cut far into the island
at this point. Here Judge lowered
Stellara to her feet, but he still
chung tightly to one of her wrists.
Listen, woman" he growled, you
are coming to Hime to be the mate
of Jude. If you come peaceably, no
harm will befall you and If you will
promise to make no outcry, I shall
remove the gag from your mouth.
Do you promise?"

WITHOUT weapons it was not
w easy to obtain and they had
travelled up the mountain slopes for
some distance before the two men
'"ere able to bring down a brace of
large birds, which they knocked over
with welT-aimed stones. The birds
closely resembied wild turkeys,
whose prototypes doubtless were the
progenitors Of the wild turkeys OF
the outer crust. The hunt had
brought them to vide plateau, just
below the summit Of the hills.
Beside small stream, which rip
pied gayly downward toward the
sea, they halted to eat and sleep.
Jude gathered frewood while Tanar
made fire by the primitive method
Of rapidly revolving a sharpened
stick in a Unidentified hole in q
large piece Of dry wood. AS these
preparations we're going forward
Stellara prepared the birds and it
was not long before the turkeys were
roasting over hot fire.
Their hunger appeased, the urge
to sleep took possession of them, and
now Jude insisted that he stand the
first watch, and so Stellara and the
Sarian lay down beneath the shade
Of tree while the scowling Hi
mean stood watch
Even in the comparative safety OF
Amiocap, danger always might be
expected to Turk in the form of car
nivorous beast or hunting man, but
the watcher cast no solicitous
glances beyond the camp. Instead,
he squatted upon his launches, de-
vouring Stellara with his eyes.
Not once did he remove them
from the beautiful face of the girl
except occasionally to glance quickly
at Tanar, where Jhe regular rising
and falling of his breast denoted I'M
disturbed slunber.
Presently the Himean arose noise
lessly and gathered a handful Of soft
grasses. which he rolled into a small
ball Then he crept stealthily to
where Stellara lay and kneeled be-
side her. Suddenly he leaned over
her and grasped her by the throat,
the same time clamping his other
hand, in the palm of which lay the
ball of grass, over her mouth.

THEY TELL Me

Taggart said that he already has
received $4,000.
Question of paying the indebted
ness on the 1928 campaign brings ur
the problem of financing the 1885,
melee.
At least the party leaders were
prosperous three years ago and
could drop the money into the pot
but that, by any stretch of the
imagination, can not be said fol-
next year.
In connection with this it is in
teresting to recall that the Repub-
licans were in great financial diff
culties in the 1880 campaign, and
Jet Norman, the veteran finance
expert for the G. o. P, opiaed then,
in deep disgust, that Hoover pros
perry had made it impossible to get
funds for his own party's fight"
What then, viii be the situation in
1892?
Norman said recently that he
doesn't want any part Of the job
of raising the money next year"
Give that task to some Of these
fellows who are so optimistic" he
shouted.
Why, raising campaign dough
next year will be tougher and less
profitable than selling rowboats in
the Sahara" -
Thus spake Norman and he
should know. he has had the grief.

CITY UPHELD IN
BA|LIFF FIGHT
Judge Cameron Loses on
Transfer Argument.

Safety board appointment of
Marty Logan, formerly gamewell OPP
orator, as bailiff in the municipal
court OF Judge Clifton r. Cameron,
was upheld tooay by Superior
Judge Joseph R. Williams.
The courts ruling ended a two
week battle between Cameron and
the safety board after the board
ordered Howard Sanders, bailiff in
the court, to report to the detective
department Tor duty.
Cameron, refusing to permit the
transfer, held he had the power to
appoint the pailiff in his court.
Il can see why Cameron should
be consulted by the safety board"
Williams declared. THE judge of
the court can make life miserable
for the chief of police, bailiff and
board of safety and destroy their
usefulness"
Attorneys for Cameron told Will
liams they did not believe the law,
granting the safety board the pow
er of appointment, was wise one"
"It is not the duty of this court
to judge whether the legislature
made a wise or unwise move" Will
liams responded. "I believe, though
the appointment should be made
on approval of Cameron"
James E .Deery, city attorney,
said Cameron had been offered the
opportunity to select the new bailiff
in his court. This was denied by
Camerons counsel.

DEBT HOLIDAY
BATTLE FACED
BY PRESIDENT
Unexpected House Revolt
Threatens Hoover'S Mora
forum Plan.
MAY BREAK PLEDGES
Democrats Line Up to WAGE
Determined Fight on
Measure.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-Consid-
cradle opposition to President Hoo
vers one-year foreign debt mora
forum has developed in the house
OF representatives where it will ne
taken up soon after congress con-
venes next Monday. a United Press
canvass disclosed today.
The administration had expected
some difficulty in the senate. where
a tighS is brewing, but the hostility
IN the house IS surprising.
Failure Of the house to ratifv is
almost unthinkable, since President
Hoover proposed this relief to FIJI
.ropean nations after consultation
With congressional leaders and with
the firm belief that congress would
back him up.
Inc moratorium already is in OBJ
Grafton. Refusal of congress to an
prove 1t would create an embarrass-
ing international situation.
May Break Pledges
But the scope of the opposition
IN the house, the United Press cam
VaSS shows, will necessitate a strong.
fight by administration leaders, with
perhaps the personal influence of
the PRESIDENT brought into play.
Some Republicans will desert Mr..
hoover on the issue, but the most
potent danger is from the Demo-
craCS. Who are in the majority and
VIII control the house. Democratic
leaders are divided and in addition
a peculiar situation has arisen as
respects Democrats who pledged
support of the moratorium when
President Hoover proposed it last
June.
A number of Democrats tele-
graphed their opposition to Presi-
dent Hoover at that time, in re-
spouse to his inquiry. Now some
Of those who offered their indorse-
ment are talking of disregarding
their pledges, on the ground that
new situation has arisen.
Garner May Back Hoover
They argue that Mr.. Hoover, since
the original one-year moratorium
was suggested, has committed him.
self to further debt reductions in
his conferences here a few weeks
ago with Premier Laval of France.
therefore, they argue, support Of
the moratorium now implies support
OF further debt reductions or cam
collation..
Though Representative Garner
(Dem., Tex), slated to be house
Speaker, has not recently expressed
an opinion, it is believed he will SUD-
port the one-year moratorium. Rep
reSentatiye Collier (NIiss.), who is to
be chairman of the ways and means
committee, which will consider the
Presidents plan, has announced his
support, but says he will go no fur

Representative Rainey Gid. who

opposed staunchly to the morato-
rum, and told President Hoover so.
He said today he would do all in his
power to defeat it.

License Plate Appointment
of Meeker Is Victory
Over MunCie Council.

Another triumph of Democratic
Mayor George Dale of Muncie over
his councilmen was scored today

Muncie councilman and Delaware

appointment was announced by
James Carpenter, chief of the

State Frank Mayr Jr.
Mayor Dale and Meeker split at
one time, when Meeker was mem
Der of the Muncie board of works.
But he was Dale's candidate for the
job of license plate distributor and
got it.
The constant warfare between the
mayor and councilmen at Muncie
shifted to statehouSe halls WedncS-
day afternoon when the appoint
ment was being considered.
Democratic councilmen came
down with Everett to lend Their
support to his efforts to retain the
place. The councilmen included
Clifford Smith, Ora Shroyer an6
Clarence Hole. Linton Ridgeway
city clerk, also was with the group
which included former Mayor Rol-
lin Bunch, Jap Lineback, former
Delaware county chairman, and
William Finan. Both Bunch and
Finan have served federal peniten-
tiary sentences.
The whole crowd were gathered

KILLED IN CROSSF|RE
Chicago Pastor Is Slain in
Drug Store HoIdup.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Caught in
croSSfire between bandits and q
druggist in an attempted holdup,
the Rev. Amos Oyer, once an East
Africa missionary, was shot and
killed just a block from the Gospel
tabernacle where he was to have
preached Wednesday night.
Oyer was on his way to conduct
services at the tabernacle, which he
founded two years ago. He stopped
in the drug store for a soda and
was sitting at the fountain when
two bandits entered.
The men ordered him to the rear
of the store, where the druggist,
Charles w. Kenney, was preparing
a prescription. Kenney heard the
bandits say this is a stickup."
Taking a shotgun he kept for
such an emergency, the druggist
emerged and fired at the holdup
men. The bandits returned the fire
and fed.
The minister was trapped be-
tween the guns and killed.

CAPONE KEEPS
/. SPIRITS Up IN
HIS JAIL Cell
Dethroned Gang Leader Not
DoWncast by Prospect of
Christmas in Prison.
HOPES TO DODGE TERM
Likes italian Dishes on His
Daily Fare, but Misses
Wine Ration.
By United Press

By united Press
CHICAGO Dec. 3.-Al Capone
seems reconciled to the prospect Of
Christmas in the county Jail.
In fact, the gang leader rather
would stay in the cell he has occu-
pied for the last five weeks than
go to the federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth. AS long as he is in
jail here, with his attorneys ma
neuvering for a new trial, Capone
feels hopeful he yet will dodge the
penalty James H. Wilkerson, United
States district judge, imposed after
Capone was convicted of evading
income tax on 100000 of income.
His eleven-year sentence stipu-
lates that ten years shall be in the
penitentiary and one year in jail,
but the prison sentence must be
served first, so the time Capone is
spending in Jail now does not count
on his sentence.
Life Is Not Hard
Capone's Jail life is not particu-
larly unpleasant His friend and
bodyguard, Phil D'Andrea, serving
a six-month Jail sentence for con-
tempt of court because he carried
a revolver to Capone's trial, is in a
nearby cell. The two meet occa-
sionally in the bullpen.
Capone's wife, his mother, and his
sister come to see him frequently
Most of his food is sent into him.
His favorite dishes. guards said, are
kidney stew, spaghetti with Vienna
bread, and ravioli He misses the
wine that used TO go with his meals
The gang chief no longer wears
$135 suits, but he is shaved every
day by the Jail barber and keeps as
neat and clean as he can.
Angered by Ralph's Shift
His attorneys, Albert Fink and
Michael Ahern, have come to agree
ment with the government on the
bill of exceptions and it is on file
with the circuit court of appeals.
The government was given ten days
to answer, OF which seven remain.
Capone's only outburst of temper
recently, guards said, was when he
learned Wednesday his brother
Ralph, also convicted of income tax
evasion, had been ordered to Nc
Neil island, federal penitentiary on
the Pacific coast.
Al had counted on seeing Ralph
at Leavenworth-if the gang chiefs
appeal failed and he had to go
there.
