EXPEDITION TO
SEEK RESCUE OF
LOST EXPLORER

SAC PAULO, Brazil, March %.
U.P)-An expedition was enroute to-
day to the great jungle to pick up
the phantom trail of the lost ex-
plorer, Colonel P. H. Fawcett who
vanished seven years ago.
The small band of men who
started for the uncharted and
dense, green land of the interior
was headed by Stephan Rattin,
Swiss trapper who believes he talked
with Colonel Fawcett, held pris-
oner by Indians. at a native vii
lage in the jungle.
Rattin's story of seeing a white
man guarded by Indians was con-
sidered sufficiently authentic to
warrant sanction by British Off
cials for his rescue expedition.
Rattin's description of the beard
ed man dressed in Indian garb who
whispered "Englishman' to him,
tailed in many respects with a
description of Fawcett given by
members of his family in Europe.
Pieces of jewelry, one of which bore
the Fawcett family crest, figured
prominently in checking the des-
cription.
Rattin has spent some IA years
in the interior making his living
by hunting, trading, and trapping
with the Indians. He speaks sever
al native languages. He always has
been able to pass through danger
Gus parts Of the interior without
being bothered by the Indians.
Fawcett, his son Jack, and a
young Englishman named Raleigh
Rimell entered the jungle seven
years ago in search of a lost civil
ization" which Fawcett was con-
vinced would prove that South AM
erica was the cradle of the human
race. The party was swallowed by
the great jungle. Nothing definite
ever was learned regarding their
fate.

BRITAIN NOT TO
GRANT ABOLITION
OF irish OATH

LONDON, March za. - j. H.
Thomas, dominions secretary, in
formed the house of commons to-
day that the British government
stands firmly against abolition of
the oath to the king and nom
payment of the land annuities, as
proposed by the Republican gov
ernment of Eamonn de Valera in
the Irish Free State.
1.-The government is addressing
to the Free State government a
communication which will make
their standpoint clear beyond the
possibility of doubt on the ques-
Jion of the OATH he said.
Failure to pay the land annui-
ties would be a manifest violation
of an agreement which is pending
in law on honor on the Irish Free
State, whatever administration
might be IN power
Thomas stated the governments
position after an audience with the
king and an important cabinet
meeting.
Thomas, in reply to a question,
confirmed the published contents
of a communication from John w
Dulanty, Free State commissioner
III London, in which the Free State
contended the oath was not made
mandatory in the treaty of 1921.
1T is manifest that the oath is
an integral part of the treaty"
Thomas said.
Thomas refusal to reveal the con-
tents of the British communication
to Dublin until it is timely to do
so caused numerous Interruptions
George Buchanan, Glasgow Labor
ite, said lit is a declaration of
war"
Thomas insisted his statement
leaves no doubt about the oath and
land annuities.
That's the considered judgment
of the government; that is where
we stand on the matter" he said
The ministerial benches cheered.

less and several farming towns
completely leveled by the de-
vastating winds.
Gov. B. M. Miller called On COM
munities spared by the storm to

The Lindbergh kidnapping mystery

Augustus Lindbergh. jr.
Ralph Shenton. 20, of Schenect-
ady, N. Y, appeared in Hopewell
today upon request of authorities
investigating the Lindbergh case
and was escorted to the Lindbergh
home by state troopers. He said his
information came from a CONVEX
sation he overheard on an Albany
night boat, March TO-
Shenton would not reveal what
he had heard in the conversation,
saying he preferred to consult only
the authorities working on the in
Vestigation.
He said he was on the night
boat on the night of March 10,
nine days after the child was
seized from its crib in the Lind
bergh mansion, and heard several
men discussing the kidnapping case
The men were New York racketeers
and said they apparently were
members of a gang who had head
quarters in New York speakeasy
some place "in the fifties." He said
he knew the address of the
speakeasy.
After the trip he said he tele-
phoned detectives in charge of the
kidnapping investigation and was
advised to come here and submit
whatever information he had
obtained.
Meanwhile police today admitted
! they had no new information bear
ing on the case. Col. H. Norman
SchWartzkopf in his morning press
conference said that the story told
by Wallace Caldwell of Chicago
! had given no aid to the investiga-
ton and other lines of inquiry had

The pithecanthropus maiden had heard Of
these In the freight tales Of her childhood;
how the gryfs had come from the morasses
and how at last the people had fed after
many had been devoured by the hideous crea-
lures. Pan-at-lee shuddered; but there were
the empty caves and in them she thought she
would be safe even from the gryfs. Slowly
she clambered down toward the uppermost
cave. Entering, she began to clear it by push

again that mood of intense helpless

that although she herself might
have been slightly at fault, Ellen's
faults far outweighed her own.
Tears e gathering in the black,

about the heated kitchen, growing

Perched at the kitchen table

Then, glimpsing her daughters

virtuously continue Smelling the

ing them open until the room was a
carnival Of color.
There was a smudge Of -four on
her pretty, tilted nose, but she was
far too excited to be conscious of
her appearance.
Il feel as though I don't need an
introduction to you at ALL" she
dubbed, shaking hands with the
guest. ELLEN has told us so much
about you"
Molly's eyes and her daughters
flashed together. Ellen did not
know what to do; she felt complete
ly helpless. What could she say?
There was no denying that Barclay
seemed pleased.
Well" he was saying, II hope
they were all nice things"
"Of course they were," Ellen re-
piled a shade stif1y.
Darling, could you get vases for
the fowers?" Molly interposed, toss
ing aside layers of silky paper and
filling her arms with sweet, purple
lilacs.
ELLEN concealed her reluctance
IL at leaving her mother and her
employer together and left the room.
When she returned she found Molly,
her lap o~verf1owing with flowers,
chattering like mad to Barclay.
She was talking about the Eng
lish Rossiters, direct connections
of ours, you know" Ellen under
stood now the reason for the por-
trait in the dining room. She was
both annoyed and amused at her
mothers childish vanity.
Although Steven was interested,
Ellen was exceedingly cross. She
relieved Molly Of the fragrant bur-
den and arranged the lilacs, the
creamy camillias and the pink roses
in the already crowded room.
What would Steven Barclay think
Of them? Surely he could see that
her mother was trying to impress
him; surely he could guess the rea-
son. Ellen was too young to know
that Steven was thinking nothing
Of the sort.
He indeed was thinking that he
never had been in such a charm
ing, such a friendly place. Molly's
very wiles we're too transparent to
seem vicious or graSping.
You'll just have to make your
self at home" Molly urged, rising.
I'VE live so simply that I'm afraid
I'll have to take my little girl away
from you. She's the only good cook
in the house."
A UDACIOUSLY, Molly twined
her arms about Ellen, and drew
the girls rigid body close. Ellen
knew her mother expected her to
say something pretty. something
deprecatory and graceful. But she
said nothing at all.
Perhaps you'd like a magazine"
Molly suggested hurriedly, when
Ellen'S stubborn silence was be-
ginning to be embarrassing.
Then she cried out, relieved, "But
there's a key! 1t must be my old
er daughter, Myra, and her fance.
They'll keep you entertained" .
Myra and Bert, dusty and hot,
came through the living room and
into the living room. Both were
plainly flabbergasted at Barclays
presence.
There were more introductions.
There were more EXPLANATIONS over
the flowers. There was more of
Molly'S ecstatic foolishness. There
was more laughter.
Ellen maintained control until
she reached the kitchen, but when
the kitchen door swung to, after her
and Molly, she was in a state of
towering rage, So angry she was in
coherent. Never in her life had
Ellen been so angry.
"I don't know what you're talk
ing about" Molly said in a tone
which she hoped would be bold but
which was instead anxious and
frightened.

flourish. She considered that with
serving and washing the dishes she
would have more than earned her
SIS and said so.
When Ellen, ignoring this disin-
clination toward real labor, suggest
ed that she haste the ducks, the
maid looked aggrieved and al
lowed" she did only plain cooking.
This is plain enough" said Ellen
in evaporation. You'll simply have
to do it while my mother and I
dress. Just open the oven every
ten minutes and ladle the drippings
up with a spoon"

ance.
I've had the most exhaustine
day. 1t took a long time TO get the
money and since then I've spur
like a top"
Have we both gone crazy? What
are you talking about?"
You'll see." Molly was convulsed
with mysterious laughter.
From downstairs the doorbell
rang imperatively. Ellen in a con-
fused daze answered its summons.
GO and see who it is" Molly
commanded m~ysteriously.
AS she ran back through the din
ing room Ellen noticed that the
painting Of her grandfather, which
had been stored since her fathers
death, was in place on the wall. She
reached the outer door and jerked
it open.
Coming up the stairs was Steven
Barclay.
I'm afraid I'm early" we're Bar
clay's first words. Your mother
said T."
ELLEN as she stood, shabby and
Il beautiful, in the doorway sud-
denly understood everything. BY
her chance" Molly had meant
Steven Barclay.
1t was not the time-though her
mother, to do her justice, could not
have known that-to invite Steven
Barclay as a guest. 1t was indeed
not the place into which to intro
duce a millionaire.
The makeshifts, so delightful to
Molly, did not improve the down.
at-heel apartment; they succeeded
only in emphasizing the essential
poverty of its occupants.
But hospitality, deep rooted and
instructive, triumphed over lesser
considerations in Ellen's. mind.
Ellen stepped into the hall to
greet her unwelcome visitor so
warmly that he never should guess
that he was not a welcome one.
He was leaning against the balus-
trade exhausted by the long climb.
His face was so white that for a
moment Ellen feared he would faint.
She had enough understanding
not to mention his palpable wear
mess; enough understanding to
keep silent until he made a gallant
recovery.
tits good of you to come" she
said at last, extending her slender
brown hands.
Seeing him rally his forces for a
reply, she had a sudden flashing
memory of Larry leaping up the
stairs and shouting breathless and
foolish nonsense.
I'm glad you think So" Barclay
said.
ELLEN noticed then, hesitating
l. on the landing, a uniformed
chauffeur laden with florist. boxes
three of them. AS he caught his
employers eye he came forward.
"Oh, you shouldn't have" Ellen
exclaimed helplessly. We've Sc
many roses now"
She stopped suddenly.
Yes, I know I shouldn't have
Barclay agreed. But you've no
idea how I enjoyed myself. There's
a box for each of you-for your
sister and your mother and the pink
roses are for you"
And then they entered the living
room and Molly 1uttered in from
the kitchen and began exclaiming
over the boxes and recklessly tear
