i which MT. Morrow took a leading part, did not become a five power pact instead of being limited to the United States, Great Britain and Japan.
 In 1928 he was one of the Amer ican delegates to the sixth Pan American Congress, held in Ha- vana. a. Intellectual Heritage MT Morrow's list of achievements in professional life, business, di- plomacy and pr a ctic al politics sprang from an intellectual heri- tage, but a background of decided ly moderate worldly possessions. His father, Prof. James E. Nor | row, was presi Q nt of Marshall College at Huntington, w. Va, when his second son was born there on Jan II, 1873. The mother was Clara Johnson Morrow, reared on an Ohio farm but known to her girlhood neighbors as literary" because of the number of books she read and because she was cham pion speller. They named their second son for Prof. William Dwight Whitney of Yale, author Of famous English grammar.
 The future diplomat finished his ordinary schooling at Allegheny. Pa, where his father had become teacher in the high school. He worked his way through Amherst College, winning the degree Of bachelor of arts in 1895. Then he turned to the study of law and after four years struggle with scant finances, graduated with an LIB. degree from Columbia University in 1899.
 He got himself a job as law clerk with the firm of Simpson, Thatcher and Bartlett in New York, persuading them that he was worth $60 month to start. Six ears later he was a member of the firm and nine years after that in 1914, he transferred his allegiance to finance and became partner in J. P. Morgan and Company.

With that famous house he spe- cialized in inte n a t i nal loans, spending considerable time in Cuba and also devoting attention to the increased European business that followed the outbreak of the World War.
 In these activities he displayed not only keen commercial sagacity but also qualities of tact, sympa- thy and understanding that marked him as a leader in business di- plomacy.
 It was Pr esident Coolidge's knowledge of MT. Morrow's talents as a concilator that prompted him to appoint the banker in 1925 as chairman of the board which stud jed the dispute over airplane de- fense between General William Mitchell and high army officials. This board sifted the wheat from the chaff Of the controversy, then made unanimous recommendations which within a year were made eff fective by congress and put in force as government policies.
 Two years of continued business success followed, then on Septem- Der 30, 1927, the banker became ambassador to Mexico, first re- signing his partnership in the Morgan concern. 1 S

 The story is finely etched but very simple one of married life. The situation is one that is constantly occurring and recurring. The end is one too few persons have the courage to take.

 Charles Bickford, Kay Johnson, Kay Francis and Lewis Stone are the quartette of particularly dis tinguished players who do splendid work in Passion Flower"
 The supporting cast includes Zasu Pitts as an amusingly pessi- mistic servant; Winter Hall, as a stern father; and four-year-o old Dickie Moore, as the offspring of a chauffeur-society girl match.

platform had immediate repercus- sions in all parts of the country. and was so overwhelming that 1t aroused hopes abroad of an early return of America to the worlds liquor market list.
 MT. Morrow's election in Mo- vember, 1880, entitled him to add the description statesman" to the list of lawyer, banker, diplomat" which had epitomizeed his earlier vacations. It came by majority of nearly 100000 in a Democratic year and again focused attention ion him.

to emerge from long period of tumult marked by civil wars, the overthrow of several administra- ticns, widespread banditry, revo- lutionary laws relating to prep erty rights of foreigners and anti religious propaganda. Outstanding in the pending questions with the United States was a controversy over oil rights on which 10000 words of notes had been exchanged with Washington without tangible result.
 No Confidence
 Ambassador Morrow found that confidence between the two govern ments was decidedly minus quail ity. So first he started to make the Mexicans believe in the United States and his own country believe in its smaller southern neighbor
 Discarding the useless system of exchanging notes, the new diplo- mat adopted the method of direct, friendly conversation with respon- sible officials as means of settling international problems. Groups in disagreement on the oil questions were brought face to face, the es- sential similarities in their view points were stressed and after much earnest study Mexico adopt ed legislation confirming oil lands concessions that was acceptable to both sides.
 Another big question, but with no direct American government inter est, arose when President Gales put into effect constitutional provisions upsetting the position of the Roman Catholic church in Mexico.
 The whole subject was outside the ambassadors jurisdiction but beth sides turned toward him as a

friendly neutral and, more than any other one man, he was credited with having paved the way for fin- al adjustments that were signed in June, 1929, by representatives of the hierarchy and Provisional Pres ident Portes Gil, successor to Gales.
 Marriage of Anne
 Marriage of the" ambassadors daughter. Anne, to Charles Lind bergh on May 27, 1929, helped en- nance the popular regard for MT. Morrow and his family. The fact that the young people met when the famous aviator reached Mexico City On the first of his goodwill tours of Latin America, and that "Leendy" came back by air to make several visits with the Nor row family, appealed to the love for romance inherent in a Latin people.
 Successful Ambassador
 MT. Morrow had an unusually successful regime as ambassador. When the time came for him to leave Mexico on September IT, 1880, a great crowd gathered to bid him Godspeed; President Ortiz Rubio and Genaro Estrada, foreign min ister, issued public statements laud- ing his work in terms far above the usually stilted praises of off, cialdom, and the government sent an official escort with him to the border.
 MT. Morrow has not left behind single delicate problem of the many existing when he came" said Senor Estrada.
 The good intentions which ani- mated him in all his acts contrib uted immensely to the bet.erment of international relations, which have reached the peak of cordial ity," was the tribute of the Mexi- can president.
 After a brief rest, MT. Morrow plunged into the Senatorial election campaign in New Jersey. He had been selected for the Republican nomination months before at a primary which saw him roll up a plurality of more than 100000 votes over two opponents. the big victory being attributed mainly to his stand against continuation of the prohibition experiment in the United States.
 In that pronouncement he advo- cated repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. He also proposed that control of the liquor business should be ent u.sted to the individual states The popular response to this

Stolen Springfield Safe
Found in COrnfield

The burglars who broke into the
Red Owl store at Springfield three
weeks ago and carried away the safe
lost no time in opening it and dis
carding the remains. They took the
valuables and left the papers and the
safe in a cornfeld.
Saturday forenoon, September 19,
three Springfield boys who were
hunting turtle doves in cornfield on
the August Lipetzky farm, found the
safe and the papers left there by the
burglars.
The outer shell of the door of the
small safe had been pried off, giving
the burglars access to the plunger,
after which the inner part of the
door was pried from its hinges. In
the bank book were all the checks
which manager Tauer had placed
there, but the currency which was
with the checks had been removed
with the silver. The check book had
been placed in locked compartment
in the safe and the door of this COM
partment had been jimmied. Some
sales books and other papers were
found, all of which the boys brought
back to the store.
The same night the Springfield
store was robbed, the Red Owl store
at Tracy was broken into. The safe
taken from there was later located in
q field outside Of the city in much
the same condition as the safe found
at Springfield.
