DR.. Isadore Rod, child specialist
at Gallinger In charge Of Edith's
case, says that Edith has made
an amazing recovery. He points
especially to the youngsters walk,
once feeble and hating and now
almost that of a normal child.
Edith almost frolics. She shows
great delight in her daily mail
with it's abundance of prettily
wrapped gifts-opens letters and
bundles herself and beams with
pleasure as each gift is un-
wrapped.
Her Thanksgiving presents were
particularly abundant with nu

After three weeks at Gallinger
Hospital, away from the father

kept her a prisoner in a closet

an entirely different child.
Her pathetically beautiful gray
blue eyes have lost the bleak
stare with which she met her
rescuers when taken from the
closet. Here frail body is gaining
strength daily.
DR.. Rod has ordered Edith con-

DROPS PLANS
TO TRY FOR
SENATE
announcement Clears Aim Of
Vice President, Who Will
Accept Nomination
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

After sitting in the anxious
set for many months, Vice
President Charles Curtis de-
cided today to stake his po-
1iticaI future with Herbert
Hoover in 1882, instead of re-
firing and standing for the
Senate from his native Kansas.
The Vice President issued a
brief statement in which he said
he would accept denomination as
Vice President next year If the
Republican national convention
offers it to him.
The convention in all prota-
bility wiz, Tor these most pronni-
nently mentioned as possible Vice
Presidential candidates on the
Hoover ticket have all declared
they were "for Charley"
Curtis statement said:
There has been presented
for my decision the question of
whether I shall be a candidate
for the United States Senate
from Kansas in 1882. and If
not, whether 1 shall accept an.
other nomination for the Vice
Presidency, in the event this
IL rendered to me.
MANY reasons have been ad'
vanced by my friends to sup
pOrt either course I shall pur-
sue. After careful cODsidera-
ton, / have decided not to be
a candidate for the Senate
from Kansas in 1882, and fur
ther, If the next Republican
national convention dominates
me for Vice President, 1 shall
accept"
No Snap Decision
It was no snap. decision that
Curtis made, for he had been
bordering over his course for
many mOnCnS.
curtis was a candidate for
first place on the ticket in the
kansas City convention that
nominated Mr.. Hoover. but took
second place when it became
clear Mr.. Hoover could not be
defeated.
There was scant love lost, how
ever, between the Curtis and
Hoover camps ip the struggle
for the nomination in 90.
Curtis criticised Mr.. Hoover in
no uncertain manner.
His Prize Remark
One remark that Curtis made
several times and which particu-
larly incensed the Hoover cap
tainS was:
"Let us not nominate q candi-
date for whom we shall have

NEW TRIAL

Attorney James A. O'Shea an.
nounced today he would move
for a new trial for James A.
Mostyn and William R. Latin,
suspended policemen. convicted
Wednesday on assault charges
made by James H. Harker.
The defense counsel has until
tomorrow, the fourth court day,
since the verdict of the jury in
the "third-degree" case. to file
the motion before Justice James
M. Proctor in District Supreme
Court.
Argument on the motion PROB
ably will be heard Friday, follow
ing which the justice will set
aside the verdict or sentence the
two men. The maximum term
is one year in Jail.
If the motion is denied, O'Shea
said he would carry the cases to
the Court of Appeals.
Mostyn is charged in two other
cases with assault and a convic-
ton in the Harker case would
make his defense difficult as the
conviction might be introduced
in evidence if he takes the stand
in his own defense. ,
