The great body of Hindu women

aged champion of the "untouch.
ables" entered the third day OF
his fast unto DEATH"
A great demonstration in Bonn
bay brought immediate results as
the government granted one of
their pleas. Gandhi's wife, who
was imprisoned at Gujerat for
civil diSobedience several months
ago, was removed to the Yeravda
Jail at Poona, where she could
aid and comfort her weakening
husband.
NegotiatOrs Speed
Gandhi's condition was quickly
becoming serious, although he
tried to appear cheerful to Wis
itors. and this fact spurred nego-
tiators to hurry their efforts to
reach an agreement on an cleo
toral arrangement for the "un-
touchables," the only apparent
way to induce Gandhi to end his
fast.
Representatives of both the
high caste Hindus and the de-

pressed "untouchableS" conferred
with Gandhi, presenting their re-
spective plans and trying to hit
upon compromise.
100000 Join Fast
It was estimated more than
100000 Sympa t hizers with
Gandhi's cause tasted with him
throughout the first day of his
self-inflicted, gradual torture, but
that the number of fasters fell
off considerably on the second
day.
Determined efforts have been
made to throw the Hindu temples
open to the "untouchables," and
Orthodox Hindu priests have COM
bined to fight this move.
One "untouchable" was re-
ported to have commenced fast
outside the famous Temple of
Guruvayoor, South India, deter
mined to die unless members of
the lowest caste were admitted.
Malaviya Rajah, high Hindu
leader, issued a statement shortly
after noon which said that
Gandhi was becoming exhausted
by his fast and urged the people
to appeal to Prime Minister J..
Ramsay Macdonald to bring the
communal matter to a settlement.

FRENCH ADD BAR
To ARMS CUTS

GENEVA, Sept. % Q.N.S0
France today advanced a proposal
that threw a new obstacle in the
way of world disarmament when
the steering committee Of the
Geneva Disarmament Conference
resumed it's sessions.
Joseph Paul-Boncour, war min
lister and head of the French dele
CATION since the unexpected de-
parture of Premier Herriot for
Paris last night, declared arms
cuts we're feasible only on condi'
ton that League of Nations com
missions permitted to visit the
various countries and inspect
ornaments, munition factories,
etc, on the spot.
This is the first time the sub
ject has been seriously preached
at the conference. The under.
standing has been that each
power would present documentary
evidence to the League as to the
state of it's ornaments.
The French proposal, undoubt
edly made with reference to Ger.

resistance. Though the American
delegation did not express its
views today, it is believed unlikely
that the United States would per

Colleague Let's Cat Out of
Bag; "Has Sown Seed to

LONDON, Sept. % (I,N.S.).
One of his own colleagues to-
day virtually confirmed the
report, generally believed here
despite official denials, that
Montagu Norman, governor Of
the Bank of England, dis
cussed war debt revision with
representatives of the Hoover
administration on his recent
mysterious visit to the United
States.
Thomas Fisher, one Of the
proprietors of the Bank Of Eng
land, declared at the Sem17annual
meeting of the board today:
eve are glad that Mr.. Nor
man has safely returned from
America, where he has SOwn
the seed that in the future
will bear fruit not only for this
country but for the whole
world"
Fishers statement was made in
seconding the customary resolu-
ton thanking the board for its
conduct of the banks affair in
the past six months. In his
reply Norman made no reference
at all to his trip to the United
States, which he made under an
assumed name.
Nevertheless London financial
circles accepted this cryptic refer
ence to the Norman trip as
clinching the reports circulated
in America.
The consensus was:
Fisher has let the cat out
of the bag"
There had been rumors that
Norman would present his resig-
nation at today'S meeting but
nothing of that nature developed,
it was stated at the bank.

tiers and one Of them won $4,000.
Prizes Listed
Mrs. MychIin,. with the excite

Quite different this. The reader goes along

the webs Of circumstance enmeshing them.
Here is noble French family. Husband. wife,

tourage a governess for the children. This title
names her "a of intrigue" Maybe
she is.
At any rate she is competent in her role. The

The wife Of the nobleman is a good woman.
Deep in her piety given to good works, sick
much of the time, lazy about all the time. A
fearful woman mourning for the husbands de-
votion, which IS to be sure, bit laggard, though
never absent in courtly manner and consider

comfort that follows the governess, catches the
kindly glance of approval that passes to her by
the husband route. furious woman, consumed
by futile angers, reproacheS, demands for the
dismissal of that woman" And so on. You
know it. You have it in modification more
than once.

place. An mazing girl, or woman.

no relief to the unhappy situation. Certainly
not. woman's prerogative to lament, openly
and aloud and quite devastatingy to family
peace, the loss of her husbands love has been
too long established for one tragedy, or many,
to change it. And so the mourning went on.
Then, murder, brutal, was perpetrated. The
wife was, so to speak, torn to pieces in her own
ROOM itself almost complete destruction. Who
murdered the wife? The husband? Mile
Clery? The husband paid the bill. The young
woman, impregnable in her compcsure, un-
assailable in her claims of clearance-wcl, what
became of that young woman. Over on Long
Island you may, some day, or might some day
in fairly long past, have come upon Mrs.
Meadows, wife of Rev. Nathaniel Meadows.
An advantage of this method of murder work
by way of the novel gains in this respect. It
may. just possibly may, offer extenuating cir
cumstances of quite measurable weight and in

The Market yesterday again con-

Skeptics who are waiting, and
hoping, for att least a sizeable
reaction.
Stocks sold off, but it was
again the old Story-they don't
go down much. The important
thing now is whether the ad-

Some Good Selling
Some good selling has been
noted in the last few days.
Furthermore, the mark-up in
some of the low-priced issues
which have little but hope be-
hind them is not healthy sign.
Yet growing skepticism, with
some attendant short selling,
tends to help rather than hurt
the market. The best thing at
this time is to grow increasingly
cautious and see how stocks act.
Retreat to be Orderly
For the present, anyway, no
big slump in prices is likely. The
big push in the market has the
background of trying to stimulate
sentiment in the hope this would
help business recovery.
Giving up the "ghost" now
would be a staggering blow. So

which includes, in addition to its
homes, a public square, flowers,
trees, plants, hills, meadows and

Everything is real. The cot
