There was an uncertain mo-
ment in which Connie felt her
self on the brink Of casting
aside all reserve and telling
Duke Carson, in one confessing
rush, how he had unStrung her.
Almost, but not quite, she was
ready to melt into his arms.
Vastly experienced in life,
Carson was still q novice at
love. Another man within the
way Of women might have kept
silent and allowed the moment
Of wordless surrender to come
upon him; yet Duke Carson felt
constrained to speak, and his
words formed little barricades
behind which Connie took
shelter.

Connie Pities Duke
Suddenly, Connie began to
pity him for his uncertainty, his
faint embarrassment. Emotion,
feeling, had shaken his poise
and, a surface scratch, he was
scarcely steadier than she was.
You needn't worry about my
bad opinion of you," she said.

was revealed, the straight line

Inevitably. her mind began to

him as a close friend, a lover,

such an impression Of strength;
no man who held the possibil-

aloof and catalog and compare

men, but always this process
was stopped by the presence of

NEW LEGION HEAD DENIES CHARGES
 OF DIR WILSON
Recent Convention Was Sober Gathering - Re- pays Visit of President Hoover on Way Home

Washington, Sept 2S-(UP)- Henry l.. Stevens, new national commander of the American Le- zion, to-day denounced as undig- nified and inaccurate the charges made against members of the le- zion by pr Clarence True Wilson, prohibition leader, after the De- troit convention had voted for a referendum on beer. <
 "The Detroit convention" Stew ems said, twas the soberest of any which I have attended"
 Stevens was here to-day to call on President Hoover. Replying to questions about Wilson's remarks and the vote in Detroit, Stevens said he wanted it understood the legion did not go on record as wet or dry.
 "They went on record" he said, flor the eternal right of the Amer ican people to give their views on any question. They favored a ref erendum."
 T wish everyone could have been there in the committees and on the floor" Stevens continued. He would have seen very sober bunch of men working night and day on the legion problems.
 T think Dr Wilson could have been more dignified and more &C., curate in his statements"
 Stevens said he did not discuss business with MT Hoover, but merely came to repay the presi- dents call upon the legion at De- troit and to invite him to speak at the legion Armistice Day meeting here Nov Il. Stevens said he would go from here to his home, Warsaw. N. C., where a homecoming cele- bration hase been arranged for him.

Building Boom For

was estimated at $560,00O,OO0, non- residential building at $6SO, ,OO0, 900 and public works and utilities at 10,000,000.
 The significance of the thew de- velopments in st-per-tenant brackets of apartment finance and planning" was stressed by the Na- tional Building Press Groups re- port, which commented:
 Perhaps no single factor in the whole realm of construction is as significant as the new development in low brackets of apartment finance and planning. That most of our residential build ings are anticipated and outmoded in an admitetd fact unsubstanti- ated by actual statistics. It is, however, a proven fact that, while in past years residential building has accounted for more than 40 per cent of the total volume of all classes of building 75 out of each 100 of our population have not as yet been able to reside in quar- ters embodying good living stand ards at prices within their means.
 Here then is a colossal, un- worked market that awaits the building industry, the moment it can devise new and lower cost methods of design and construc- tion.
 "Such cost cutting methods have been in the process of experiment for some years, and to-day give evidence that one solution has been reached. The vast problem of rehabilitating the lower brack- cts of wage earners has now large ly passed the experimental stage. With the prevailing lower con- struction costs and a more liberal attitude on the part of loan money it is highly probable that a great volume of construction will de- velop."

CHARGE WITNESS
 WAS THREATENED
Oil Promoter May Have More Counts Preferred Against Him By District Attorney of Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City. skla, Sept 2S- (UP)-District Attorney Herbert K. Hyde charged today that c. c. Julian, Oklahoma and California oil promoter, threatened to kill a witness before a grand jury that indicted him on mail fraud charges
 The charge was made when Ju- Han and his two secretaries, c. C.. ("Tex'D Borden and Miss Juanita Campbell appeared before Federal Judge Edgar S. Vaught for ar raignment on the IA counts in the indictment.
 Hyde declined to name the wit ness whose life he said, had been threatened by the oil man.
 That will come out in due time. That's all I care to say about it now" the young prosecu- tor said.
 Julian and his two aides pleaded not guilty to the mail fraud charges and after lecture to them Judge Vaught permitted Julian to remain at liberty on $25,000 bond which was postponed last July after he spent four days in jail. He was arrested at that time on a complaint filed by the District attorney charging he sent a false financial statement through the mails.
 The recent session of the grand jury indicted Julian and 35 em- ployes and associates, only nine of whom had been arrested.

London, Sept 28.-(UP)-Sus- pension of the gold standard by Norway and Sweden and increased bank rates in several European countries were effective to-day, d week after Great Britain suspend ed the gold standard for six months.
 The Swedish state council met at Stockholm and decided to suspend the gold standard until November 30. At the same time the bank rate was increased from six per cent to eight per cent.
 At Oslo, the Norwegian state council decided to suspend the gold standard temporarily and prohibit the export of gold. The bank rate was raised from six per cent to eight per cent.

 The Danish cabinet will meet at Copenhagen this morning and con- sider the situation after suspension of the gold standard by the other Scandinavian countries.
 The directorate of the Stockholm Stock Exchange closed the ex- change indefinitely.
 It was decided to keep the Ber- lin bourse closed for an indefinite period.
 Other bank rate changes effec- tive to-day were the Italian, raised from 5h to [ per cent, and the Greek, raised from per cent to 12 per cent.
 Holland stuck by the gold stand ard. The Netherlands bank issued a statement at Amsterdam saying that the gold standard would be maintained internationally and that no imitation was expected as the gold position was stronger than ever. In view of recent discus sions with the Bank of England, the Netherlands bank did not ex- pect any loss on the pound in for eign exchange bills held by the bank.
 The Belgian government, in or der to balance it's budget, decided to reduce defense appropriations 350,000,000 francs and postpone scheduled strengthening of the eastern frontiers.
 Mustapha Renal, Turkish dicta- tor, decided to send a banking commission to the United States to seek a loan, headed by ex-Minister of Finance Saradjolon.
 Suspension of the gold standard by two Scandinavian countries was not entirely unexpected but was not in line with the efforts of French banking leaders to strengthen their influence during the decline of the pound. They reportedly argued against suspen- sion of the gold standard by other European countries.
 Various non-European countries were expected to feel the effects of the British financial situation soon. In Costa Rica, for example. coffee growers and exporters who send per cent of their crop to Britain planned to seek new mar kets if the depreciation of the pound sterling was not checked.

NELLIE DUNHAM'S
 FIDDLE IS PUT
 AWAY FOR GOOD
Maine Character Whom Henry Ford Made Na- tionally Famous Died at Hospital Yesterday

Norway, Me, Sept 2S-(UP)-. Death has silenced Nellie Dun- hams fiddle. Alanson Mellen Dun- ham, 7S, known the nation over as Nellie" the oldtime fiddling pro- tege of Henry Ford, died late Sum- day at a Lewiston hospital after an operation. To-day his body lay in his farmhouse. at Crockett's Ridge, where he was born and where he lived his entire life.
 Though Nellie did not become national figure until six years ago, when he went to Dearborn, Mich, to play his fiddle for Ford, he had a prior claim to fame. It was his hands which fashioned the sturdy snowshoes which Admiral Robert E. Perry carried to the North Pole in 1909.
 For more than his allotted three score years and ten, Nellie, farm CT, fiddler and snowshoe-maker, lived quietly in the obscurity of Crockett's Ridge, a mile and half from here. No country dance was considered complete without the rollicking tunes from his battered fiddle. And no expedition into Arc tic wastes was planned without an order to Nellie for snowshoes.
 One bleak November day in 1925 the rural mail carrier deliv- cred letter to the Durham home stead. It was an invitation from Henry Ford for Nellie and his wife of a half century, "Gram," to come to Dearborn. "Be sure to bring your fiddle," postscripted the mo- tor magnate.
 Shortly before Nellie had won an oldtime fiddling contest at Lew iston armory and Ford, an old fashioned dancing enthusiast, had read of this victory.
 The elderly couple went to Dear born and Nellie exhausted his rep ertoire, delighting his host with such old favorites as Turkey in the Straw" Devils Dream" and Irish Washerwoman." After that Nellie and "Gram" toured the country as a vaudeville team, net ting $20,000 with which to ease their declining years.
 The first thing Nellie did on his return to Crockett's Ridge was to pay a friend $90 he had borrowed to cover the taxes on his 20-acre farm.
 Nellie, who combined Yankee shrewdness with Irish wit, was one of Maine's most lovable charac- ters.
 When his home was destroyed by fire last year he accepted his loss philosophically.
 "Still got Gram. Still got the fiddles. We will begin right over again." he said.
 Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2 p. m., with burial in Pine Grove cemetery, where last year Nellie had headstones erected for himself and Gram"

Early Stock Gains Were Dissipated By
 Later Day Decline
October Cotton Below Cents Pound-U s. Gov=
 ernment Issues Weak

New York, Sept. 23.-(UP).- Stocks turned reactionary as the market neared the end of the fourth hour to-day. Nearly all early gains were wiped out and losses substituted. Trading failed to pick up on the decline.
 Meanwhile October cotton was driven below 6 cents. pound for the first time since September, 1899, while grains moved mar rowly with prices slightly below the previous close. Foreign and U. S. government bonds were heavily sold and domestic issues also re- acted.
 Weakness in United States gov- ernment issues was attributed to anticipation of a large new fiota- tion of securities to make up the treasury deficit. The street antic- ipated the government would have to pay a high rate of interest for future offerings. Sharp declines oc- cured in Scandinavian issues on gold suspension by Norway and Sweden. Italian issues were freely sold as were Japanese loans.
 For a time the stock market showed signs of resistance. Around noon prices were up in all but a half dozen or so of issues which broke to new lows for special req sons. Before D. m. all the gains except those in the rails and cop- pers were reduced sharply, many being wiped out and losses sub- stituted.
 Coca Cola and Peoples Gas broke 6k and 51s points respec- lively to new bear market lows Elsewhere declines were held with in Q three-point limit, the lead ing issues moving over an arc of a point or so.
 Copper and silver producing shares were up fractions to a point In the group of those producing silver, substantial gains were made by American Smelling and Cerro de Pasco. Utilities reacted with North American down a point. Con- solidated Gas lost nearly all of a gain of IF points made earlier ir the session.
