BETTY COW
Times Staff Photo

Betty Cow, former nurse of the
slain Lindbergh baby, has been
denied a visa to visit her home in
England in August, it was learned
at the State Department today.
Miss Cow, who is still employed
at the Lindbergh home in Hope
we'll N. j., is understood to have
booked passage as far back as
last January. The trip was post
poned until March.
Recently, she booked passage
for August and applied for a
visa. This has been denied, at
least temporarily. She, as we'll
as other alien servants in the
Lindbergh home, will probably be
prevented from leaving the coun-
try so long as authorities are at
tempting to solve the kidnapping
mystery.

eral of the Philippines, for the

Gen. Charles G. Dawes, most
frequently mentioned as Curtis
rival for the second highest office
in the land, has said he will not
accept a nomination.
The movement against the 73-
year-old Vice President came as a
tremendous surprise to Dolly Cur

his rooter, even in the days when
she was his secretary at the Sen,

Happy Days Are Here
Their appetites we're fine.
For two hours and a half they
had listened to the paen of pros

grand old party had saved the
country from the boW-wows time

three years. They had learned
once more that their party was
the good old party of good old
honest Abe Lincoln. And that
the programs and policies of the
good old party were the laws of
this great country.
Yes sir, and they had heard
the organ play Happy Days Are

ended and the march started for

They had heard nothing I'M

No reference had been made
to thirty million hungry. desUi-

There was not a breath of the
10000 hungry veterans of 1918
and victims of 1882, who are
sleeping out in the open on the
river bottoms of the Potomac
while the Government they fought
for invites them to take free

Capital and starve in some spot

CHICAGO, June Is (LN.S.).
They yanked me out of the
B. E. F. trenches down in
Washington to come here to
Chicago to cover this conven-
tion. From what I've seen of
it already, a setting hen with
one lame wing could cover
most of it and still have room
to spare.
But here's another story with
more dynamite in it than 10 con-
ventions ever carried. And what
it's going to do to American his
tory is everybody's business.
Over 10000 veterans are
camped today around Washing
ton. Ten days ago, that camp
held only a handful of gaunt,
ragged fellows and we laughed,
pitied, jeered or SWore at them
according to our nature. Today
the smoke of their camp fires
blankets the capital dome and a.
night, flying over the city, one
sees a thickening ring of flame,
miles in circumference.
Nation Grows Serious
The nation no longer laughs. .
It grows serious.
1t begins to ask questions.
Who started and who is keep
ing these men coming?
Who is feeding them and the
women and children they have.
left behind?
Why are they acting so queerly?
Why don't they get mad? why
are they so strangely patient and.
polite and self controlled?
And suppose they don't get the
bonus-then what?
All America is asking those.
questions today. An hour ago,
through sources which may not
be revealed but whose reliability
no one can question, the answer
came with dramatic Suddenness.
And besides the thunder of that
answer, the noise of this conven-
ton is a cats meow.
THE AMERICAN LEGION IS
BEHIND THE B. E. F.!
Not the big shots of the legion.
Not the powerful boys who con.
fer with the White House or hob
mob with Congressman and
governors. But the rank and

Amendment of the $4,000 dam

STOURBRIDGE, England, June II
Emily Sharpe, whose sister Violet
committed suicide in the Morrow home
at Englewood, N. j., denied today that
she knew anything about the kidnap-
ing of the Lindbergh baby.
Il know nothing whatever about the
kidnapping" she said as she left here
for her parents home in Beenham
What is more, I'm quite sure my sis

either"
Tells Of "Badgering."
Ever since the baby disappeared she
was badgered and questioned by police
there until she didn't know what she
was saying or doing.
Il used to work for Mrs. MacDow in
Englewood, not far from where the
Morrows live, but 1 left there to take
a situation in New York four months
before the kidnapping
After the baby was stolen Violet
wrote to me and I went to EngleWood
to see her. She was terribly upset
The police had been questioning her
for hours
She told me that on the night the
child was kidnapped she went out with
two men whose names she didn't know
They went for an automobile ride, and
she said she hadn't seen them since.
She swore to me that she knew
nothing about the child's disappear

that she had gone out with two boys
she didn't know, that night.

1t was clear that responsibility for the

The British ministers know from

country" 1t said. ITO have heard the
Irish case frankly stated may bring

DEMOCRAT LEADERS
SPLIT OVER RELIEF.
Rainey Says 100000, 900
Bill Adds States to List
on "DoIeS."
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
A dispute between House and Senate
Democratic leaders over relief legisla-
ton broke into the open today with
Majority Leader Rainey of the House
predicting that when Congress ad-
lourns We will have enacted nothing but
doles"
Referring to the Wagner bill passed
yesterday by the Senate, under which
States would be permitted to borrow
$500 100000 fer relief purposes, Rainey
told newspaper men:
We have passed a dole for banks a
dole for railroads a dole for farmers
and now the Senate approves a dole
for States. Our clients get bigger all
the time. I'm just afraid there1l be
no real relief legislation before Con-
yress adjourns. Well Just keep on pass
ing doles."
Robinson Follows Watson"
Rainey said Senator Robinson Of
Arkansas. the Democratic leader in the
other branch, is following the Repub-
lican leader Senator Watson of In
diana and he, of course, is following
the President"
Rainey said the Wagner bill probably
will be sent TO the House Banking Com
mittee. He expressed the hope that
the committee will attach the Garner
bill to it so We can send it back to the
Senate and get some real relief"
Representative Smell, the Republican
leader, said he thought the Wagner bill
should pass as quickly as possible" and
predicted if Speaker Garner would let
it reach the floor there will be few
votes against it."
Meanwhile. the non-partisan group
formed earlier this session by Repre-
sentatives La Guardia. Republican. of
New York; Mead. Democrat, Of New
York. and Kelly, Republican. of Penn
