Four ear-0Id Badges Are
Restored When Trio Is
Freed on Bond.

Three men. who are alleged to
have four year-old horse thief de-
tective" badges, face charges of car
rying weapons and impersonating
officers, following arrest Monday
night by Deputy Sheriffs Gilbert
Thomas and Elmer r. Daily.
Those held are Henry Hollings-
worth, SIS, of 1921 Reisner street /;
Albert Newly, "a. Of 1902 North
Pershing avenue, and Charles Beck
er, 81, of 2404 West wilkins street.
All were armed, the officers said,
Hollingsworth and Newly each
having a revolver and Becker two.
Thomas and Daily were return
ing from call when they noticed
an automobile had been crowded to
the curb by another car on Ken
lucky avenue near Belmont avenue,
and that occupants of the latter
machine were covering two men in
the other car with revolvers.
The officers, in turn, covered the
three men, who displayed the
badges, and said they were trying
to recover a revolver from the oc-
cupants of the other car, Roy
Lynch, %, and Robert Wood, 81,
both of haywood.
Lynch and Wood told the Off
GERS they took a revolver from
Alva Newly, brother of Albert,
Saturday night, when they assert he
was drunk.
They declared they had intended
returning the weapon as soon as
he was sober. At the direction of
the officers, the revolver was re-
stored to Newly.
Following the arrests, the weapons
were impounded at the sheriff's
Office, and the badges were given
to a turnkey who restored them
when the accused were released on
kond.

CHICAGO, June 20 (N,AN.A).-One
slender feminine hand has been discoy-
cred among those of the powerful lead
ers who shift controls in the machine
making politics of the Democratic con-
vention.
The hand belongs to Florence Farley,
national committeewoman from Kan
sas and one of the vice chairmen OF the
National Committee.
Having met her, one never could for
get the shine in her dark eyes as she
talks or the dimple in her chin, that
ADDS piquancy to her smile. But her
touch on the controlling wheels is so
quiet and modest that even keen OBJ
server hardly would suspect the part
she plays.

chairman of the National Committee.

The convention sits obscurely in the
background.
Gallery spectators at the stadium
crane their necks to see where Alice
Roosevelt Longworth, who seems to en-
joy a Democratic convention as much
as Republican one. is sitting above the
speakers platform. They identify Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson and they look for Mrs.
Alfred e. Smiths bright features.
Most of them never heard of Mrs.
Farley of Kansas, whom practically all
the Democratic political bigwigs consult
daily. Yet Mrs. Farley has been ma
tional committeewoman longer than any
other Democrat. She was first appoint
ed in 1920 and has served continuously,
winning with 4-to-1 vote this year,
although the Governor of her State
opposed her. At the present convention
she has served on three of the more
important committees, Managing the
Arrangements, Seating and Tickets
plums usually reserved for important
men.
Most women prominent in politics in
herited their fathers mantleS. Mrs.
Farley got her training from her pioneer
mother Its efficacy is demonstrated
by the fact that such men as William
Gibbs McAdoo, Jouett Shouse, John j.
Raskob, Glen Shaver, Jesse Jones,
Frank Hague and Joseph Wolf, repre-
senting practically all the various Dem
ocratic camps, are seeking her counsel.
Because of her reticence, Mrs. Far
ley escaped the limelight. When the
Women's National Democratic Clubs
have their breakfast meeting at the
Chicago Women'S Club, Mrs. Farley will
not be featured. Mrs. George Bass of
this city, first woman to serve as vice
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, will preside. Mrs. ]. Bor-
den Hartman, Mrs Emily Newell Blair
and Mrs. John Allen Dougherty will be
the speakers.
