Gets Real Tribute

I'm company with all Broad
way" was Levy's statement, Il
mourn the passing of Gregory,
a true friend and a great
artist. It will be many, many
years before the theater finds
another actor who was so true
to his craft, so faithful to his
art and so honest in his rela-
tions with his fellow men. I
am too grieved to say any
more at the moment"
Gregory swallowed hard. He
picked up another paper. Again
he was praised. More state
ments. Still another paper,
from which he learned that
the Lambs and the Friars were
holding special services for him.
He Shivered slightly and picked
up a tabloid. There was a
columnist on this paper who
had always raped him severely.
Surely he would write some
thing about Gregory's passing,
and he, at least, would not
mince words. Yes, there it
was. The actor read on:
The Unhappy Ending
Now that Gregory is dead"
the columnist had written. Il
must tell you that everything 7
ever wrote about him was
merely said in jest. I, above
all others, know the grand heart
that was hidden by a gruff ex-
terror; the grand heart that is
now stilled forever.
Gregory was a fine man, and
a charitable one. Few people
knew the many good deeds he
did every day in the year. Few
people knew of the thousand
and one things he did to make
other humans happy.
Il will miss Gregory. and so
will all Broadway. He was a
grand gny"...
Gregory threw away those pa.
pers. He walked, and he walked,
and he walked. Finally he
stopped dead and clenched his
fists.

again?" he cried unhappily. mo!

Maine. He would leave his
clothes, and a short suicide
note, on the edge Of a large
lake. Word would be flashed to
New York. The papers would
make much of it. He could
read his obituary and then re-
turn to Broadway.
Those fools can say what
they will" he chuckled. How
I'll laugh at them when I come
back, as alive as I ever was!"
A few days later he chose a
resort in Maine and left to
carry out his plan. :.
Leaves Suicide Note
The entire scheme went off
without a hitch. The suicide
note was brief and to the point.
He placed it on top of some
of his clothing at the waters
edge. He walked rapidly away
to a vantage point he had
chosen. And in the morning.
with the aid of a powerful pair
of glasses. he watched the dis
covery and the attendant ex-
. element.
The New York papers will
have it soon," he eXulted. "Ah,
this is a grand game I am
playing. How 1 will enjoy the
prods and the knockS!"
Some two days later, in an
appropriate disguise, he visited
the newspaper stands in the
town and bought all the New
York papers he could get.
Feverishly he turned the pages.
Feverishly he began to read.
Slowly, the smile faded from
his face. What was this? In
stead of rapping him, the first
obituary had praised him high
ly. He had been, it said, a
highly distinguished artist, and
a definite asset to the legiti-
mate stage. At the end of the
article, there was a statement
from Jake Levy, the theatrical
manager who had hated Greg
DRY beyond all words.
The Washington times., 1931-11-17

II ellis Him the truth
He had no friends, of course,
but he did have one acquain-
lance who was a little closer
than the rest. Gregory was forty
years of age, and he had known
this other man for some Is OF
those years. One night, as they
sat in a restaurant. the acouain-
lance unburdened his mind.
Gregory" he asserted, I'm
not going to preach to you. I
once tried to talk to you about
your violent attitude toward
everyone in general-and the re-
suit was that we didn't speak
for five years.
"Since then I haven't tried to
influence you in any way. I've
watched you go on making a
fool of yourself through the
years. I've watched you making
the least of splendid talent.
What you have done and are do
ing with your life, of course, is
your own. business. But have you
ever stopped to think what
people say about you now, or
what they will say about you
when you are gomez"
That's absurd" rasped Greg
ory. You talk exactly like the
foNl you are. What do 1 care
what the morons say when I'm
gomez"
Observation-Disclosures
His acquaintance sighed.
II knew you were going to
say that, Gregory, he said
tiredly, because it wouldn't be
you if you didn't. And since
you have already commenced
calling me a fool, I know it's
useless to talk to YOU much
more along these lines. Well
only wind up in an argument
that will never be patched up.
Accordingly, I'll say just
few words more and call it
day. AS you stand today, you're
one of the most detested men
on Broadway. You get jobs
only because you possess I'M
usual ability. Managers hate
you. The critics kid you. Actors
resent you. Authors abhor you.
Unless you suddenly drop this
nonsensical attitude, what is
the end to be?
you say you don't care. You
tell me that it means nothing
what people say now or when
you are gone. Very we'll. That
ends the discussion. I can say
nothing more"
Gregory looked very sour.
you have said nothing yet"
he grunted. "As a matter of
fact, I can't remember you say
ing anything in the Is years
I have known you. I'm going.
Good night"
He Thinks 1t Over
At home that night Gregory
got to thinking. Even though
he hated to admit it to himself.
the other mans words had had
a definite effect upon him.
What did other people really
say about him? What would
they say about him when he
was gone? If there was only
some way to find out, how
amusing it would be!
The idea became an obses-
sion with him. He thought of
little else. He racked his brains
for ways and means of reading
his obituary notices without
having gone to the trouble of
dying. Suddenly. in an instant,
the right notion came to him.
He would set out, ostensibly
on a holiday, for a spot in

able for "a pleasing old fashioned
curtsey' one Of them responded
with q poem.
Said he:
Oh, the bold bargees Of London

And when they pass each others

They'll always doff their hats.
Instead Of calling, hey, you loutl"
AS they sail up and down,
They'll give q bow and gently

heads.

tribune Special service)

New Leipzig, N. D., Jan. 15.-With
almost his entire body pinned be-
meath . heavily LOADED truck, Ber-
nard Sherman, 1~7-year-old Norris
town, s. D. youth, was instantly killed
In an accident in which the motor
truck he was driving backed down
hill and overturned.
It Is believed the victim attempted
to make q steep grade when his en-
CINE failed and the brakes Of the
truck. known to be defective, failed to
keep the vehicle from speeding down
hill.
From the manner In which the body
was pinned under the truck, 1t Is
thought that Sherman either mis-
calculated the distance to jump or
that the machine turned over before
he could make the attempt.
william Lowell, q farmer living
north Of Keldron, discovered the
body. It was pinned beneath the
truck with only the head and one
arm free.

In 1929 a bill vas introduced In the
senate and became the subject Of the
most heated debate of the session.
Galleries were packed by adherents
OF both the medical doctors and the
naturopaths when the measure came
to . vote. This battle wa preceded
BY several which occurred In COM

Members of the medical profession
opposed the bill quite as strongly as
the n~aturopaths fought for It and
both sides are expected to rally again.
It Is anticipated In some quarters
that the bill will be killed In COM
mittee this year, although the naturo-
paths again are hopeful.
Meanwhile. enough grist already
has been tossed into the legislative
hopper to give some Of the various

SENATE DEMOCRATS
DRIVEN BACK FROM
FOOD loan DEMAND
Relief Plan Sponsors Allow
Stripping Of $15,000,000
From Appropriation
CONSIDER Different PLAN
Red Cross Begins Receiving
Contributions Toward $1o,-
100000 Relief Fund
CONSIDER Different PLAN

Washington, Jan. 15.-R1-Driven
back from their SIS, 100000 food loan
demand, the senate Democrats re-
formed their lines Thursday In a new
stand for appropriations to feed those
threatened with starvation.
The leader Of the minority, sena-
tor Robinson, Arkansas. set IS the
price Of completing the legislative
program for this session, q $25 $780,
600 fund to be administered by the
Red Gross, without provision for re-
payment.
Seeing the h~opelessness Of their
earlier position, the food appropria-
ton sponsors yielded Wednesday to
let the $45, 000, 900 drought relief loan
appropriation go to the white house,
stripped Of the Caraway amendment
which would have given SIS. 000,0 900
more for food. simultaneously, how
ever, they prepared to attach the
So, 000. 900 to the agriculture depart
ment supply bill.
Two-Thirds Vote Needed
To do this they have to muster a
two-thirds vote. and Robinson be-
lieved he could get It.. If not. he
warned:
Much other relatively unimportant
legislation Is going on the scrap
heap" I
And If they succeed when the vote
comes, Robinson's forces were deter
mined to hold fast sven though the
house proved equally lnyielding and
the whole bill failed OF passage. This
would leave the agriculture depart
ment without appropriated funds to
carry on its multitude of activities
and might be sufficient to force the
extra session Of the new congress
which the administration u deter
mined to avoid.
As the struggle In congress stiffen-
ed the Red Cross began receiving
substantial contributions in It's drive
for $10,000 900 to feed farmers in the
drought states. simultaneously, how
ever, field reports reflected a situa-
ton increasingly grave, with the
number Of those destitute increasing
by leaps and bounds. The weather
turning to snow and bitter cold in
several Of the afflicted states, added
to the misery.
Thomas Scores Red Cross
A charge by Senator Thomas, Dem
ocrat, Oklahoma. that the Red Cross
had $25 600, 900 on hand. and had no
need to raise funds was denied by
Chairman Payne of the relief organ
ization. He pointed out that half of
the assets was an endowment fund,
Of which only interest could be touch
ed, and other reserves were essential
II the organization were to remain
able to meet possible unforeseen
disasters. Already its $5,O00,0 900 dis
aster relief fund Is being used to feed
drought victims.
The Democratic opportunity to at
tach the food appropriation to the
agriculture bill was expected some
time during the remainder of this
week. The Republican leadership,
however, sought to put through the
interior department supply bill
which has been pending since before
Christmas, and tomorrow q vote Is
promised on reconsideration Of q bill
to spend t30,0o0,000 on undermining
battleShipS.
