} by her own sense of fair play,
her own sensibilities, her own
feeling for human decencies.
But she could speak to Julian.
On their way back to town she
did.
II went for a walk last
night" she began deliberately.
II couldn't sleep so I went for
a walk on the lawn"
"Oh," was Julian's only com.
ment. When Patricia failed to
amplify her bare statement he
ventured to say, "Well, what
about your walk on the lawn?
I'm all agog."
"You know what about it,"
she advised him levelly.
"I'm afraid that I don't"
Every well then" said Pa
tricia in a rush, II didn't mean
to but I saw you-you and
Marthe."
She had got it out. Her
heart was pounding. Her face
was crimson. Julian was COM
pletely undisturbed. He smiled
IN quiet amusement.
ut was a nice night for a
walk" he admitted casually.
"Marthe and I decided that
we would take one too. Why
didn't you come out Of the
shrubbery and join us? STILL"
he added after thought, "still
I guess it's just as well that
YOU didn't"
His armor was perfect and
bright. They had touched on
the subject before, so he
thought. But it wasn't the
same. This wasn't the same.
Patricia felt now that she was
fighting for her life. She was
not curious. She was not pry-
ing. She was not interfering in
his affairs. It was just that she
must know. The touch of her
cold desperate fingers on his
wrist startled Julian. Some

"Surely you have not finished"
She gave him an earnest,
penetrating look. Tears Stung

I haven't"
II give you the right-this
once"
Are you in love with
Marthe?"
Good heavens, no."
Chagrin
He saw in chagrin that this
wasn't the answer she had
hoped for. His very real
sympathy lessened slightly.
Still, he had promised. He pre-
pared gracefully to yield to
cross examination.
"Is she in love with you?"
"That's an awkward question,
my DEAR" He grinned. even
I have fleeting moments Of
modesty"
IT know" faltered Patricia
with a kind Of wretched bravery,
that Marthe was IN the house
that time when I started my
burglar hunt. I remembered
when I heard her laugh last
night"
MY word, you are detec-
tive" he said sharply, growing
irritated despite his best inten-
tions. II think we'd better hire
you out to Holmes. Eeaven

Mayor Hayes And Judges Are Urged
 To Retain Him
Has Been Supt of Local Boys Club 40 Years - Con-
 tacts in Probation Work Extensive-Eforts to ; Replace Him Are Strongly Criticized

Club for over 40 years few men in the state of Connecticut can ap- proach MT Combellack's record for daily contact with boys or in han ding cases of husbands delinquent in the support of their families. The fact that MT Combellack Is not "politicaly minded" must have been taken by some as an indication that he would not contest any opposition for his office as probation officer of the city court. However, when it became known that efforts were being made to replace him it was quickly discovered that MT Com belIack was not without friends, as a matter of fact it might be bet ter expressed no one has yet been found acquainted with conditions in court. who is not friend and booster for the popular probation officer.
 There may be some dispute over the prosecuting attorneys and clerks, but if the selection of pre- bation officer offers any difficult ties MT Combellack is expected to remain on the staff. If woman probation officer is decided as be- ing essential Miss Katherine Burns of the municipal welfare depart ment will be the unanimous choice. She will have opposition, If she cares to announce her candidacy.

ELDEST SON OF
 THE PRESIDENT
 ON MORGAN CASE

Boston. May 26-CUP)-The real purpose of the present senate in- vestigation is not to prosecute J. P. Morgan and his associates, but to awaken the public to the inequ- alities of the (income tax) law" James Roosevelt, eldest son of the president. said in a speech here last night. "The honesty and integ- rity of the firm of J. P. Morgan has never been questioned" he said, "and is probably its highest asset in financial dealings both here and abroad.
 He pointed out that although many persons were surprised to learn that Morgan and his part ners paid no income tax for three years, the bankers have in no way violated the law. and have acted strictly within their legal rights. T would stress with as much em- phasis as possible that this inves- tigation is not for the purpose of prosecuting anyone. but rather to awaken the public to the inequali- ties of the law and to SO arouse public opinion that no group. no matter how powerful finacially it might be. may block change which will rectify these errors of the past" Roosevelt said.

 With the exception of one witt ness, George Whitney, partner of J. P. Morgan. the government has offered it's complete testimony on two charges-that Mitchell made "false and sham" sale of stock to his wife and second fake sale of stock to w. D. Thornton, a friend. in order to swear off income taxes amounting to $S50,000 for the years 1929 and 1880.
 The defnse will claim that the management fund" of the Nation al City bank was not income, v since by a subsequent vote of the board of directors, the money split up out of $2.000.000 pool was to be repaid to the company later"
 The government contends the money was never repaid and that it was written off, instead.
 At the noon recess, William D.. Black, former Mitchell partner was on the stand, testifying re- garding his assistance in making out Mitchell's income tax returns.
 Mitchell fought vigorously today to prove that Mitchelrs sale of StOCh III lSoV tO w. Ds LhOihtOns by which he established a tech nical loss of $758,000, was legiti- mate transaction in "the ordinary course of business"

 Letters introduced in evidence showed that on December 26. 1880. Mitchell completed the transaction by which he disposed of $500 shares of the Anaconda stock to Thornton.

 Howard assured Pecora, however, that United Corporation does mot want to control and certainly does not control any of these corpora tions in which we have shares"

 This thing means but one thing" Steagall said. "The United States has declared Its independ- ence of gold"
 He asserted flatly that he was acting on personal orders from President Roosevelt.
 The Steagall measure" Secre- tary of the Treasury Woodin said upon leaving the White House where he conferred with President Roosevelt. "has the approval of the administration
 T will have formal statement explaining this legislation at the conclusion of the cabinet meeting this afternoon" Woodin remarked.
 The resolution, in effect, would remove the gold backing from all paper money so far as demand collections from the treasury or its agencies are concerned.
 Steagall added that all bonds is- sued in the future by the federal government would omit the fam ous ''gold clause' pledging repay ment in gold currency of the pres sent weight and fineness. Instead. they would be made payable in lawful money which under the terms of the new administration resolution would mean any type of currency issued by the federal gov ernment.
 The new administration move was interpreted in informed con- gressional quarters as actually be- Ing a substitute for the gold con- tent reyaluation provision of the recently passed imitation act.
 This provision authorized the president to reduce the gold con- tent of the dollar within 50 per cent maximum.

In some instances the reduction of interest would not be an adequate remedy for the borrower. Opposition of a whole sale reduction of interest rates on mortgages would seem to be well founded.
 ''It is good business for the saw ings banks to make loans on new construction when so much of the older property is now on the mar ket? Some authorities believe that no loans should be made on new buildings or buildings under con- struction while this condition con- tinues.
