 knew Senator Hastings had many accomplishments. But I didn't know he was a humorist," Borah telegraphed.
 Borah has said nothing about his attitude toward President Hoover since his speech in the senate just after the republican natoinal con- vehtion when he declared he could not support MT Hoover on the Chicago platform.
 Since then he has said that the west was any mans fight and that October was early enough to talk politics.
 The Leonine senator from the big potato country stands with re- lation to the Hoover campaign in much the same position that for mer Gov Alfred E. Smith stands toward the Roosevelt campaign. Each is silent. Each Is regarded as able to influence a large num- Der of voters.
 Though Senator Borah cam. paigned for MT Hoover four years ago they have had many differ. ences of policy since. But now with evidences from many guar. ters of a tide running toward the democratic ticket-even Senator George Moses has cut the predicted margin of republican electora votes down to 22-the republican management longs for some mighty voice in the west.

 Peter Winter, former policeman, noticed a coffln-shaped mound. His pick crashed through four inches of cement. His shovel dug into two pick into play again and 1t struck the body.
 It was the woman whose myster- ious absence brought from Du Bois many conflicting stories. These stories, investigators be- lieved, wove a net that closed slow ly but surely until it snuffed out the life of the Tuckahoe beau brummel. Each hour, it seemed some point in his web of stories was proven false.
 Official Montreal records reveal ed Mrs DuBois had not been killed in Quebec Province, as he had claimed.
 Mrs John Butler, reported by Dubois to have been killed with his | wife, wrote from the Maritime Provinces that she was well and working there.
 The deeds to property naming Mrs Grace DuBois were found with the subsequent revelation by Miss Atwood that she had used that name.
 Stains on a mattress in the Du- Bois bungalow were revealed as caused by human blood. A neighbor revealed that he had seen MT and Mrs Dubois together near their cottage the night of August 10, a day after Du Bois said she had left.
 But not until after Du Bois died was it revealed that the body he claimed was cremated in Montreal was in reality hidden in the cellar of their own home where it might have lain forever undiscovered. He made no confession to me" his attorney, Jeremiah J. McAnar- ney said. He was extremely de- voted to Miss Atwood, and was de- pressed because of the unfavora ble newspaper publicity the case brought her. This seemed to be his chief worry"

Miss Atwood was in seclusion, her father said, and would remain so for some time. She wrote the .Last Obstacle" letter, it was ex- plained because she had been told, as others were told, that Mrs Du- Bois was killed in a motor acci- dent in Canada.
 Sullivan also exonerated Larry Frazier, the Du Bois chauffeur, who helped dig the grave. Both Frazier and Mrs DuBois under stood the vault was to house an electric washing machine and an Frazier, however, was to be ques- toned further on some details. i Jules Dubois, brother of the sui eide victim, will claim both bodies as soon as authorities release them, Sullivan said.

 According to Chairman Crary's S expectations, the local democratic organization will demonstrate its superiority over the g.o.p! machine here just as it did four years ago when ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York was running for the presidency and two years ago when the state ticket was in the field at which time Governor Wilbur L.. Cross was victorious on the presi- .dential ticket.

GIVE THE BOY A BREAK

If you have a boy In the family who has reached the age when pi- rate ships and Indian trails are more exciting than anything will ever be again, give him wall paper on his room that suits his ad- venture spirit. There are ships that feel the way around old harbors. There are rural scenes from long ago, and historical panoramas that show the march of civilization. Whatever you do, don't put rose buds on the wall and tie the cur tains with blue bows. Boys rooms should be substantial enough for action when a boy wants his gang to come up to plan a hike or in- spect a stamp collection.

Buckingham street
 In selling his London home for what the modern real estater would call development" he made 1t one of the conditions of sale that he should thus be per- petuated.
 To-day, however, if streets were taken as the test, he would have to spell his name and style thus:
 rge villiers, Duke
 Buckingham.
 The reason for the omissions Is that Of Alley disappeared off, cially a long time ago. and Is now quaintly placarded as "York Place, late Of Alley" while the latest demolition in the Strand has cut off half of George Court, which commemorated hisfi rst name ever since George street had its title changed to York Buildings.
 People who live in the portion of George Court that has not yet been razed will tell you that they have seen George Bernard Shaw and Sir James Barrie take refuge from admirers in the Strand by diving down the little alley and taking a back way to their resi- dehces in the Adelphi.
 This little known thoroughfare, which is only about four feet wide where 1t meets the Strand, will disappear entirely soon to make way for q wider street, court or alley, and for buildings more in keeping with the heart of modern London than the present drab survivals of the days Of Charles Dickens.
