A voice gruff, brusque, oddly fa- miliar, was speaking beyond the door of the room where Corrinne waited.
 'T'll swear she said 1t. I heard 1t with my own ears And SO did Mac here. The night we went to the Merryman house to search for the missing money bag, Sybil Lester sent Mrs Merryman some roses. Out of sympathy. Nice thing for the girl to do. But did that kid who married the Becker money appreciate it. She did not! She said she'd like to Kill the Lester dame. We both heard her. How's that for testimony"
 Corrinnt jumped up angrily as she heard the words. She didn't know what she was going to say but she -knew that she had to confront the man who was accusing her.

CARBON DIOxIDE SAID
 TO RE LIFE RESTORER

New Haven. Conn.,, (UP).-A law to require that inhalation of carbon dioxide in oxygen be administered to new born children is advocated by Professor Yandel Henderson of Yale.
 Writing in the journal of the Am- erican Medical Journal, Professor Henderson declared many more lives would be saved by this process than eyesight protected by disinfection of states.

HOOVER IS ON
ROAD BACK TO
CAPITAL DESK
Gratified at Reception on
Speaking Tour Through
Midwest.

Lhtbcu AICsS DAdn correspondent
ABOARD PRESIDENT HOOVER S
TRAIN, EN- ROUTE TO WASH
INGTON, June 18-Indicating salts
faction with the results of his mid
western tour, President Herbert
Hoover was on his way back to
Washington today facing a summer
of work with efforts to stimulate
recovery from the depression as his
big objective.
1t was stated on behalf Of the
President that he was thoroughly
gratified at the reception he re-
ceived in indianapolis, Ind, Marion
and Columbus, O., Springfield, Ill,
and numerous cities at which his
train paused for a bare word of
greeting. Several hundred tele-
grams have been received by the
President congratulating him on his
utterances.
Prepares for New Congress
In some places the crowds which
lined the streets failed to applaud
vigorously, but he was received re-
spectfully everywhere and with
marked cordiality in some places.
The high point of enthusiasm was
reached in the chicken dinner Re-
publican rally at Indianapolis.
While his advisers stated Mr.
Hoover had indicated thorough
satisfaction with the results of this
tour, it was stated he had no pres
ent intention of leaving Washing
ton again this summer on any ex-
tended trip.
Hoover's main objective now will
be to set his house in order admin
istratively and politically for the
stormy winter ahead when the new
congress comes in with Democrats
lacking only one or two votes of
controlling both houses and alert to
turn every possible situation to their
in the approaching presi-
dental campaign.
Emphasizes Tariff Protection
President Hoover, it is now clear,
will attempt to shape the Repub-
lican campaign into tried and tested
directions, emphasizing tariff pro-
lection, individual initiative, avoid
ance Of government experiments
with doles and other forms of di-
rect depression relief, with possibly
an attempt to revise the federal
reserve act to curb stock market
speculation in the future, and per-
hapS some changes in the tax laws
principally aimed at abolishing the
tax on capital gains.
There will be, it is authoritatively
indicated, no flirting with Repub-
lican insurgents by the White House.
Hoover has no intention, it is indi-
Gated, of going out to meet the
progressives with any compromises.
He appears to have resolved to meet
the political crisis as William How
ard Taft met his, by refusing to
bend before the storm.
BY the time the President re-
turns to Washington late today, he
will have travelled about 1900 miles,
one of the longest Journeys he has
made since entering the White
House. Despite the heat and the
strenuous program, it was stated
he was returning feeling refreshed
by the mental change afforded by
contact with voters out in the
country.

vacation, the Faithfulls said. and
was entertained by the man in
question and his family. Often she
went boating with him, but she re-
lated that he never took boys along.
In the fall, when Starr returned
to her studies, Mrs. Faithful said
she noticed quite change in the
girl.
"She was really different" Mrs.
Faithful said. "She began using
rouge to excess, though she had
never used it before, and she car
ried a swagger stick Sometimes
there was strange look in her eyes
as though she had been taking
dope"
(The Faithfulls have said that
they were told some years later by
the daughter that the man in Ques-
ton had etherized, or chIoroformed.
her on occaSion.)
Mrs. Faitfull noted that the girl.
from being frank and confding.
turned reticent toward her and that
the material influence decreased.
She told Starr several times that she
was acting so strangely"
Not at all; everything is all
right" Starr would answer.
HER strangeness increased. She
u Stunned the company of
young people, and seemed excitable.
When the Faithfulls moved to a
place near Boston, Starr, according
to her mother, had a period when
she seemed bent on making her
self as unattractive as possible" She
refused to wear anything but
knickers, and once on her sister
fuckers birthday, refused to go to
the birthday party except in mems
clothes. She borrowed a suit and
wore it.
"She seemed to have horror of
being herself" her mother COM
mented.
She had been from childhood
friendly. free and easy with Stanley
Faithful, but suddenly began to
show restraint toward him. She in
sisted that her sister Tucker,
should put on make up" though
Tucker was only II years old.
The stepfather and mother pic
tured Starr as trusting and ideal
istic-as believing that people
could not be bad. And this spirit,
they said was her undoing.
THE man they accuse Of NAL
Il treatment impressed her with
the idea that his attentions were
right and 'fatherly," according to
the story she told in later years.
Bue her questions at this particu-
lar period disclosed. in the light of
later events, that she was having a
debate with herself as to whether
everything she was told by him was
really right.
But everybody, according to Stan
ley Faithful, praised the man whom
they deemed trustworthy and
friendly, and impressed the child
with the idea that he was a fine
man, kind to children. and prac-
tically incapable of doing anything
but right.
The girls memory" book in school
carried memorandum Of trip
she wrote she had taken with this
man, listing hotels where they
stopped en- route.
The Faithfulls explain that Mrs.
Faithful knew of certain journeys
with the man in question. but ex-
planned that his reputation was
such that it never occurred to her
that there might be other than
strictly fatherly interest in the girl.
