Didn't Discuss Session.

The Michigan Senator, who attended
the White House conference, voiced his
hearty approval of the steps which the
President has proposed, both for the
bankers and for Congress.
Representative John Garner of Texas,
Democratic leader of the House, also
took the view that the President could
expedite his economic emergency pro-
gram by calling Congress in special ses-
sion. He added, however, he did not
expect call for special session would
go forward.

As the President replied tC the attack by Gardiner, the Administrations affirmative reply to the League of Ma tions' proposal for a one-yea1 naval building truce is enroute to Geneva.
 To Appoint Committee
 President Hoover said he woul d appoint a committee, upon which would be mem bers of the Navy League, tC make inquiry into the attacks on him and his policies and "upon completion of the in quiry, l shall expect Gardiner to make a public correction of his misstatements and apology therefor"
 Gardiner Unperturbed
 Gardiner, apparently unperturbec by the turn of events, showed nc inclination to apologize but ex- pressed surprise that the President would appoint commission of his own rather than sponsor a Con- gressional investigation.
 The attack made by Gardiner follows not only the proposal for g one-year navy building holiday but also the bold strokes of cutting more than fifty million dollars from the 1883 expenditures for the Navy In this cut activities, valued high ly, are to curtailed
 Some of the Cuts
 The famous Navy Band is sched- uled for oblivion. The frigate Con- stitution, newly refitted for tri- umphal tour around the Coast will be tied up again. More than 5000 civilian employees will be laid off. More than 4,000 sailors and marines will be taken from the rolls.
 The naval air station at Seattle would be changed to naval re- serve aviation base.
 The ROston and Charleston q o., navy yards will be closed, and so will the operating base at New Orleans, the naval training station at Newport, R. L., and the naval ammunition depot at Lake Den mark, New Jersey. The Paris Island, South Carolina, marine corps training station will go into reduced commission status. Naval

 Peak was thoughtful for a mo- ment. Then he said. Look here, Sam, suppose you let me handle this. Let me go to New York and talk with Fourth. I think I can make him unfold"
 Do you?" Sam sighed. Tt would be wonderful if you could, but hate to have you mixed up in this. I don't want you to quarrel with Fourth"
 Don't worry, won't" He patted her on the shoulder. Tt will all be as smooth as silk. Just you give me Fourth's address and I'll be over there by ten o'clock tom orr ow morning. I'll tell Nelson some plaus- ible lie about why I'm going"
 Sam gave him the address and they moved slowly down the walk toward her car Neither gave a thought to the fact that Peak, in bathrobe and slippers, must have been an unusual sight on an emil nently respectable residential street
 Sam stepped into the drivers seat and held out a grateful hand You've been wonderful, Peak" she said earnestly. T don't know how to thank you"
 Don't bother" He took her hand and held it. T only wish l could do more"
 Sam looked at him and was sud- denly moved by an unaccountable impulse. Peak" she said quietly would you mind if I did some thing rather unusual tomorrow? Would you mind if I went out to lunch with another man?"
 Peak stared for a moment. Then he put back his head and laughed in genuine amusement. Some times, Sam" he said still laugh ing, you amaze me! Sometimes

 I'm engaged to you" she re- minded him gravely, land I should not be lunching with other men. just thought I'd ask permission.
 Did you? He grinned. ''Well you have it. Lunch with him, anc eat everything on the menu if you like May be so bold as to inquire his name?"
 Sam hesitated. Then she saiC slowly: He used to work for you His name is Freddy Munson."

and picked up his hat. Where are we going?' he inquire d, duly. What are we going to do?" Were going out to Peak Ab- bott's house and have a talk with him. Maybe he can help"
 Peak Abbott?" Nelson scowled. What's the use of dragging him into this? What can he do?" \ Sam had no very clear idea of what she expected Peak to be able to do. She only knew that she wanted to talk to him about this thing; to ask his advice. Peak would be sensible and calm, and at the very least he might be able to strengthen Nelson's morale. Never mind about that" she said sharply, turning toward the door Just you leave things to me for little while, will you, please" {"
 In the end she was glad that she had insisted. Peak, to be sure could offer no definite plan of ac- ton at the moment, but he some how gave the impression that he would be able to deal with the mat ter successfully He was cheerful and full of confidence that every thing would be all right before an- other day had passed. As soon as she told him the story, Sam felt that a weight had been taken from her shoulders. She could see that Nelson felt better, too. He stood more erect He answered questions. He suggested some things s that might be done in the morning He agreed, almost with relief, to the suggestion that he spend the night with Peak. In the end Sam said that she must be getting home. She flatly vetoed, as unnecessary and impractical, the idea that one of the men should accompany her. She gave Nelson an encouraging farewell pat on the shoulder and followed Peak from the room, At the the front step, quiet nod of her head caused Peak to step out side, closing the door behind him.
 Listen to me carefully" Sam said swiftly, speaking in a low tone and moving closer. "I have an idea about this thing, Peak. I know who's back of it all. I think it's Fourthp
 Peak stared Fourth"
 I'm almost sure of it." Sam nod ded vigorously. He'd give almost anything to get rid of Martha. He'd think he was only doing the right thing if he did He's almost insane on the subject believe he's been talking to her I believe he put the idea into her head that she isn't good enough for Nelson. think he got her to go away"
 But"
 Here's the way I see it. Martha has gone and it stands to reason that she must have gone some where. She hasn't committed sui cide-thats a cinch. She hasn't the nerve Well, then, if she's gone somewhere, she must have money. Where did she get it? Not from her family and not from Nelson, certainly. I think she got it from Fourth"
 Peak whistled. That's an idea! Have you said anything to Nelson?"
 No, and I don't want to if it can possibly be helped. Can you imagine what Nelson would do? He'd be apt to do murder. At any rate, he'd hate Fourth for the rest of his life"
 T see" Peak nodded slowly. Tt seems as though the best thing to do is to have a quiet little talk with Fourth. will you do that as soon as you get home?"
 Sam shrugged. T can't. Fourth isn't there. He's in New York on

CONSPIRATORS

"Nonsense!" Sam took his arm and shook it commandingly. Stop talking such utter nonsense i'm mediately, Nelson! Why on earth should you think she was dead? l never heard anything more ridicu- lous in my life. Let me see the let ter, will you, please?"
 The letter was a badly phrased almost incoherent little document 1t was also definitely pathetic. AS Nelson said, Martha had come to the conclusion that Nelson was toe good for her; that she could never live up to him; that he was always ashamed of her. For that reason she was going away. She still lov- ed him but that could make no difference. She was never coming back and he must not try to find her. She did not know where she was going and hinted that her destination might very well be a lonely grave. She closed with re- newed assurances of her love.
 Sam looked up at Nelson and saw that once more he was on the verge of tears. He swallowed with difficulty and said: She was go- ing to have baby, Sam"
 Really? That's splendid!" Sam was determinedly cheerful. That's the best news I've heard in a long time. But why do you use the past tense? Martha isn't dead, you know"
 Isn't she?" Nelson sat down suddenly and put his head in his hands. How do you know?"
 How do I know?" Sam laughed. T just know, that's all Martha isn't the type. She couldn't com init suicide if she wanted to- which she doesnt-so let's not bother cur heads about that any more. Suppose you tell me what you've been doing since you found this letter"
 It appeared that Nelson had not done very much. He had gone to see Martha's father and mother. They, of course, knew nothing of her whereabouts, and had created something of scene when they laarned that she had disappeared. He had telephoned Sam, and a few of Martha's more intimate friends. He had stopped in at the accident wards of two or three hospitals just in case"
 What do you propose to do now?"s Sam asked.
 T don't know. I might telephone the newspapers, suppose, or mo- tify the police"
 Also" said Sam grimly, you might not! Do you want this all over the front pages?"
 T don't know" Nelson looked up at her. T only know I want to find my wife"
 "Of course" Sam put on her coat. You'll find her, too, without bothering the police
 Where are you going?" Nelson inquired hstlessly. You aren't go- ing to leave me flat, are you?" < Get your hat" she ordered briskly, and come. along"
 Nelson obediently got to his feet

TODAY we will answer ques-
L. ton that has been asked a
number of times. Can all dogs be
taught?
Yes, almost all of them. A few
can not because the ability is not
in them. But 95 per cent of them
have such ability and only require
effort, patience and repetition to
bring 1t out of them.
There is so much pleasure to be
gotten from a dog trained than
from one not trained that all effort
and patience in this direction is well
repaid.
Another question often asked is
whether one or more than che
person should handle the dog while
he is being trained.
Only one person should be the
dogs instructor during the entire
course. After a dog is trained he
should go through the commands
for any one who gives them prop
erly?
DOGS are like human beings in
- their tendency to initiate.
Therefore, the early training OF a
dog is most important.
A dog not trained or disciplined
during the first twelve months of
his life, will be unmanageable and
indispensable when grown.
If a grown dog is inclined to be
vicious or nervous. the fault is with
the master who controlled his desti-
MES when he was puppy.
Two things concern the dogs
health most, his stomach and ex-
ercise. Give a dog much exercise;
you can scarcely give him too much
Let him be the judge of that;
he will stop when he has had
enough. Do not exercise him, how
ever, Immediately after he has
eaten.
If dog must be kept indoors
take him out at least twice a day,
preferably not on the leash. Few
dogs ned leash. If they do, the
master has failed to train the dog
to follow him.
Il n
XXTILL JUDY, editor Of the Dog
w World and a well-known
authority, states that as long as a
dog has a cold nose, a bright eye
and a good appetite, he is in good
health,
On the other hand, a warm nose,
no passage from the bowels, no ap-
petite and coloring of the white
of the eyes around the pupil are
symptoms of sickness.
A dog is valuable piece of prop
erty. When he is ailing, the serv-
ices of veterinarian should be
used without delay A veterinarian
loves dogs, else he would not be a
veterinarian.
In all cases, he does his best. Lit

This reduction, which sets the

The cut was made despite a So

Miss Noone estimates her budget
for 1882 at $759,419. She reduced
three township funds and elimi-

MASTER ACTING
OF PROSECUTOR
ASTOUNDS JURY
Courtroom Turned Into
Stage by Amazing Plea
for Killers Conviction.

BIZ United Press
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.-Spe-
cial Prosecutor Joseph Ford was
accredited today with "a masterful
bit of stagecraft" in his efforts to
convict David H. Clark. former as
sistant prosecutor, of murder.
Ford's actions, bringing about
forcibly the one big point he wished
to impress upon the jury, caused
postponement until today Of the
final arguments. 1t was predicted
the case would go to the jury by
noon.
Clark, then a judicial candidate,
was charged with killing Herbert
Spencer and Charles Crawford,
political powers, last May 20. He
pleaded self-defense.
When it came time for Ford to
make his final plea that Clark be
hanged, he literally floundered
about through an hour of inefec-
tive arguments.
Shuffles to Jury Box
Ford apologized frequently, eX-
planning he had a cold. Spectators,
acquainted with his record, found
1t hard to believe that even with a
cold he could be so ineffective. Not
knowing he was acting a part, they
were mysti1ed.
The session was becoming dull
when Ford shuffled to the jury box,
leaned on the railing, and sighed:
Folks, I'm 81 years old. When a
man is my age he's not going around
starting fights.
He's not grabbing stalwart young
men of 80 by the throat He's not
why folks, Charlie Crawford was
my age He was 50!
DO you think he grabbed husky
Dave Clark, who's 33 and athletic,
by the throat and threatened to kill
him last May 20?"
"Store Teeth Coming Loose"
Ford was silent for a moment
while the jury looked at his stopped
shoulders. Then he turned to
Judge Stanley Murray.
MY store teeth are comm loose,
your honor, and I'm tired. Could
we have a recess until tomorrow
morning?" The recess was granted.
Ford, in the opinion of courtroom
spectators, had lived up to the final
admonition of Defense Attorney w.
l. Gilbert, who told the jury:
Look out for old Uncle Joe Ford.
He's a crafty old codger"

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Special
agents of the labor department to-
day began an inquiry into condi-
tions in the soft coal fields OF
northern West Virginia, where 5000
miners are on strike.
The investigation was ordered by
Labor Secretary William N. Doak
after the United Mine Workers had
appealed to him to try to bring
about a settlement of labor troubles
which have disrupted the West
Virginia fields for several months.
