HOOVER SCANS
POLITICAL SKIES
AFTER JOURNEY
Calls in G. 0. P. Leaders
to Discuss Reactions
to His Talks.

WASHINGTON, June 19-PreS-
ident Hoover canvassed the polit-
teal situation with the Republican
congressional leaders today follow
ing his return from the midwest
ern speaking trip.
Representative John @. Tilson of
Connecticut, Senator David A. Reed
of Pennsylvania and Senator Hi
ram Bingham of Connecticut were
met by the executive. Tilson and
Reed were seen in private and the
White House would not admit they
had been there.
Tilson came in Thursday night
and will remain a White House
guest until Saturday. Reed was
called in for breakfast and re-
NAMED scnae time thereafter talk
ing political and economic matters
with the chief executive and Til
son. Bingham was a caller at the
executives offices.
Reaction to the Presidents west
ern speeches is understood to have
been considered.
Republicans, however, were not
the only ones from whom Mr.. Hoo
yer received reactions on his western
trip. Senators Glass OF Virginia
and Walsh Of Montana, both Demo-
Gratis, called to see him. Giss is
understood to have protested
against the Presidents proposed re-
vision Of banking laws. Asked con-
corning it afterward he said:
ANY comment I would make
about that would be disagreeable
and do not want to be unpleasant
on such a beautiful day."

called up the West Orange home

The girl was called to the phone

A N aura Of mystery and specula-
IN ton envelops the resignation
Of the all-powerful little Cover
nor" Jess Murden from the high
way commission.
Department heads and state
house attaches who have watched
with great interest Murden's mete-
ORIG rise to q paramount position
in the councils Of Governor Harry
G. Leslie openly scott at the rea-
son he set forth in his letter OF
resignation-that press of private
business precluded his continuing
the duties Of a highway commits
sioner.
Various motives are being given
for Murden's sudden resignation,
ten months before the expiration of
his term and none of them coin
eide with that which he wrote.
There can be no doubt that the
dapper, chameleon-like Murden
came to an iInpasse in his relations
with the Governor.
Following his usual custom of
obeying all commands and agreeing
with all of Leslie'S opinions he
found himself in position where
he could not acquiesce in the Gov
ernor's wishes, so he had to drop
out of the picture.
|. Nothing could have been so pain
full to his pride and SO repugnant
to his character as to have to take
a decided position.
The point of contention, it is de-
clared, was on the dismissal Of
Onaer Manloye, former head of the
state highway garage, and now a
subordinate Of A. H. Hinkle, main
tenance superintendent.
When Murden was selling auto
motive equipment, including tires,
to the highway commission, he be-
came closely allied with Manlove.

asking her husband to relate the
rest Of the story alone.
AS given by him, Starr told Of oc-
currences in the hotel here the
previous night. This happened
only a few hours before time for
the girl to sail on a cruise to Eng
land, and the family decided that
it would be hest not to have her
abandon this trip. On this journey,
Starr was reported to have taken
considerable drink and to have be-
come particularly excitable, whereas
on previous trips she had drunk
nothing.
HER condition seemed worse
L 4 upon her return in September,
and the family had her consult an
alienist.
Prior to this, she had unfolded to
her mother a story of the relations
of the man in the case. It came
cut in sections; sometimes only a
few words; again in a food as
though by telling the details she
was 'purg.ng her soul The de-
tails are lnprintable.
The girl advised her mother that
the man had acted under the guise
Of teaching her the things she
should know and that her father
would have given her. (Her own
father was separated from her
mother) The girl quoted the man
as saying any reluctance on her
part would be abnormal.
Sometimes he partially drugged
her with chloroform, according to
the girl.
The mans treatment of Starr left
her with twisted mental reactions,
while the autopsy indicated an i'm
pairment of internal organs, &C
cording to Faithful, traceable to the
early nistreatment.
Starr has been pictured by some
papers as q, girl with numerous
men friends. She did have men
friends, the Faithfulls explain, but
they were men of good family and
responsibility.
q Il
GOMETIN1ES she had moments of
~ amcrous impulse, but, according
to her stories to her mother, the
idea Of yielding to these was repul-
sive.
"On only two or three occasions
in STAIRS entire life have we ever
had knowledge of her being in what
is commonly known as an intoxi-
Gated condition" said Faithful. In
the present age, we think that this
is a rather exceptional statement
to be able to make with regard to
most society girls.
1.-THE trouble with her was that
owing to this difference in her men
tai reactions toward life, liquor did
not have the normal effect upon
her. Even a small amount of
liquor, comparatively, would not
only change her mental behavior,
but at times her mind would be-
ccme a total blank. She would be-
have as in normal times, but she
would not remember afterward what
had taken place"
Mrs. Faithful and daughter
Tucker went with her to London
last June. 'Banby" had spells. of
happiness and depression. When
she returned she seemed to show
improvement.
When she returned last November
she was depressed ct the thought
that she could not remain in Eng
land, but in time she became recon
ciled to the return and was very
happy June 5, the day she left
home-never to return alive.

COMMUNICATION

The Order of Eagles and the
 people of Valdez observed the
 Mothers Day at the Eagle Hall.
 A fine program was rendered.
 Mrs. Beeman furnished the music
 at the piano. A fine selection was
 given by the trio composed of
 MT. McGiluSay, MT. Hunter and
 Mrs. w. Stewart; and Mrs. E.
 Chase delighted us with a solo.
 MT. Spriegel, our religious leader,
 opened the celebration with a
 prayer for the mothers of today
 and our departed ones. MT. Lee Allin, the president of the Eagle Lodge of Valdez, addressed the audience in regard to the great
 work done by this order in estab- fishing this great day. MT. liar man Braner, also an Eagle, ad- dressed the audience and Miss Birch Brothers responded in re- gard to this Mothers Day and a prize was offered to the youngest and the oldest mothers in Valdez. Do we really realize the meaning of this great day? It seems to me that the whole country is just
 waking up from a trance. If we would only stop to think little more seriously about the word mother we think about is business. Many travel in a hurry here and there and forget all about the greatest love-that of mother. What makes a nation and country look at our army, our navy, the airships? Is it not the mother whose boy is fighting for her and his country? Does the mother not suffer to see her boy give his life for his country? Look at Col. Lindbergh, and the honors bestowed on him - the greatest honors bestowed on any man-diplomas, medals, and so forth. Did the poor mother get a medal for giving this great boy to her country? No! I tell you, my friends, the Order of Eagles is taking one more step towards humanity to make us think little more about our mothers, for with out her help nation will decrease. Look at the honor the King of Denmark bestowed a mother. She had IT children-five girls and 12 boys. When the last was born, the King himself stood godfather for this boy, and this boy was pre- sented with a free education and for as long as he lives. Why is this done? To show the honor to the mother for giving 12 more soldiers to fight for the country. This is an old custom in Denmark and a good one.
 T am pleased to see that the time has come for this country to honor the mothers with a day set aside as a Mothers Day. so we shall not forget the greatest love-the mothers love for her boy and daughter; for she sent them forth to the World war to sacrifice their life. So let this Mothers Day be as great day as that of our country's fathers birthday-George Washington"
