 MT. Rock, you-you were to tell me something tonight?" she began, nsrvously.

 "Ycu needn't tell me one. For I know that. I can feel it. You're not going away"

 No, it's not selfishness or silly infatuation,' he interrupted, with sudden passion that made her draw back. I've thought all night and all day. Out of this torture has come two facts, which be- lieve as I do my own soul"

 The rurnba, as is the supposed case with American jazz, traces back to Africa. Its name, even, comes from the Hausa dialect word, 'rhunba," meaning wheel, . and purports to describe the pos turings of the dancer. Properly danced, the rumba is patterned on primitive making.

BISHOP ROWE
 WINS BATTLE
 WITH BANNERS

A special dispatch to the Seattle Daily Times from New York under date of January 28 says:
 Seattle's 70-year-old Right Rev. P. T. Rowe, first bishop of Alaska, for thirty seven years active in Arctic missionary work, has arrived hsre from Washington, D. C., vic- torious again in his crusade to keep fish canneries off the Yukon and other Alaskan rivers.
 T received heartiest support from Secretary of Commerce Lamont and the Commissioner of Fisheries, , Bishop Rowe told newspaper men interviewing him at the Hotel New Yorker.
 T explalnec cannaries would not only be a menace to the natives but would eventually destroy the wonderful Alaskan fish reserve by removing the source of supply. The government now has consented to indefinite prohibition of canneries and the commissioner advised me to report immediately, when seeing anything that wasn't just right ?
 Bishop Rowe recommended new Northwest trek-tilis time to help solve hte unemployment problem. Alaska, he said, has felt no de- pression

reduction.
For example, farm products of all

60 per cent under the 1929 aver

crease of SO per cent from 1929

Josiah Bartlett was signer of
the Declaration of independence.
His descendants were owners of
New England mills. But the Bart
lett mills ground out one of the fam
lily who was different. His name
was Edward A, Bartlett VI, and he
was not interested in spinning,
though he was willing to toll.
Changing his name to Michael Bart
lett, he became an actor and sing
er. Old Josiah Bartlett might not
have thought so much of that. In
his day, actors were not objects of
especially high regard But the boy
did well. Recently he succeeded
Georges MetaXa. the Hungarian, in
the lead of q Broadway musical
show. But they tell me that a
Broadway musical show is not the
height of Michael Bartlett's ambi-
ton. He once toured Italy with
an opera company and has been TAX
ing vocal culture ever since. Some
day he plans to become a grand
opera star.

Newport.-A dozen women In
Newport control fortunes aggregat-

all of these women are at present
unattached. Eleven are widows !;
one has never married.
1t would seem, therefore that
cavaliers of the old school should
find a happy hunting ground along
the world famous Cliff Walk" and
Bellevue avenue, where these fem
nine millionaires have palatial
homes.
Perhaps the most celebrated of
the glittering dozen is Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney. Nor is Mrs. Whit
ney's fame based wholly on the
wealth inherited from her husband,
or upon the internationally famous
racing stables they founded.
Has Artistic Flair.
Her fame is based on her PROV
ess as a sculptor, early won after
years of drudgery. Even when she
was Gladys Vanderbilt she was
known as "the poor little rich girl
who wanted to become an artist.
Her efforts in this field at first
amused her friends and then won
their respect.
Probably the most exclusive of
the dozen Is Mrs. Hamilton Nick.
Twombly. in whose drawing rooms
at "Vinland" on Ochre Point one
never encounters newcomers to So
ciety.
No less famed as a hostess is
Mrs. Alice Gwynne Vanderbilt. wild
ow of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who
reigns at The Breakers" as dow
ager mistress Of the colony.
The old Vanderbilt home at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty
seventh street, in New York city.
was sold some years ago by Mrs.
Vanderbilt for the record-breaking
sum of $7,100,O00.
One of the twelve Is a princess.
She Is the former Anita Stewart,
now the widow of the Portuguese
Prince Miguel de Braganza. Her
home is THE Moorings."
The princess inherited from her
father, William Rhinelander Stew

thropist, over $l,OO0,OOO. while her
stepfather. James Henry Smith.

Mrs. Moses Taylor was left an
estate estimated at the time at
$100.OOO.OO0 when her husband. in
ternationally known banker, died
in 1923.
Winters In Morocco.
Mrs. Taylor, who is active in civ
ic and philanthropic matters, spends
her summers at "The Glen" and
her winters at La Saadie Marrakad,
Morocco. Her husband is remem-
bered for being the first to bring
the game of polo to America.

CONTROL VAST FORTUNES

Another OF the sensationally
wealthy is Mrs. James B. Duke,
whose husband, the North Carolina
tobacco king, left an estate valued
at nearly $90,0O0,OO0.
OF this estate about $20,0OO,OO0
went to Duke university in North
Carolina and large part of the
residne to the daughter, Doris.
Mrs. Duke. who was Nanaline
Holt Inman. was nevertheless left
a woman of wealth. She makes her
summer home at Rough Point"
Miss Julia Berwind has never
married. She shares "The Elms''
on Bellevue avenue with her broth
er, the coal magnate, Edward j.
Berwind.
Then there is Mrs. Nicholas
Brown, the elder, whose son, John
Nicholas Brown, became the
"wealthiest baby in America" when
his father and uncle died within
two weeks of each other, leaving
him their colossal fortunes.
The wealthiest baby now. how
ever, probably is Mrs. Browns
grandson, born TO her son and
daughter-in-law July a. The for
tune is variously estimated between
SSO,OO0,O00 and S100,000,000, a com
Portable sum in either case.
Other fabulously rich unattached
women include Mrs. James Laurens
Van Allen of "Wakehurst" Mrs. t.
Shaw Safe of ocean Lawn; Mrs.
Edward V. Hartford of "Seaverge" ;
Mrs. James B. Haggin of Villa

Mentioned in Book

resident and one now dead are Civ
en- special mention in a book on the
biography of Sitting Bull written by
Stanley Vestal, professor at the Uni
versity Of Oklahoma and recently
published by the Houghton- Mifflin
company. Boston.
They are Capt. j. M. Belk, old-time
riverman, who died several years ago,
Capt I. P. Baker, p. E. Byrne and
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Falconer The
volume is dedicated to Lewis F..
Crawford, Fargo, a former Bismarck
resident.
Vestal spent three years compiling
the material for the book, examin-
ing the archives of the Dakotas. Ne
braSka. Minnesota, Wyoming, Mon
tana and Canada as we'll as inter-
viewing more than 100 Indians.
Most of his information was OBJ
tanned from Sitting Bulls two ne
phews, Chief White Bull and Chief
One Bull, now old men,. The latter
was adopted by Sitting Bull when
he was four years old.
Because different Indians told
identical tales, Vestal feels that he
has separated much fact from fiction
in his story of the life of the noted
Sioux Medicine Man.
Among other things it presents new
phases of the Custer battle on the
Little Big Horn and of the Sioux
part in frontier history.
Sitting Bull is declared in the book
to be South Dakota'S most famous
son,
