Dr. Condon replied he remem- bered no such incident.
 Mrs. Koren was brought forward and Dr. Condon recognized her as one of two women who went to his home in the Bronx to discuss 8 real estate transaction. He ther remembered also the other wom- an was a Mrs. Busch.
 Four Kidnapers
 Did you not say to the women that you knew the kidnapers to be four in number" demanded Reilly.
 Not to my recollection" replied Dr. Condon.
 It was explained that Mrs. Koren lives on a farm near Hopewell and Mrs. Busch near Remington. Attorney General Wilentz took over Dr. Condon for a few minutes to clear up some confusions Reilly |had brought up the Doctors ire by asking him when he made no at- tempt to have a bus driver run down a man he saw on the street in New York City in August last year, the man he recognized as John" and identified as Haupt- mann. pr. Condon was on the bus at the time.
 "It was none of my business, he replied to question asked by Wilentz.
 It was brought out that Dr. Con- don was on the bus and did ask ask the driver to stop but the latter would not. Later the bus did stop but Dr. Condon said he could not pick up the trail in the traffic.
 Reilly also seemed to have hurt Dr. Condon's feelings when he asked about his purported transfer as principal of public school be- cause his associations were un- becoming to a gentleman with a woman of the school staff to which the doctor snapped: "No Sir"

BETTER BUSINESS
SHOWN IN REPORTS
Betterment Marked at End
of First Month of "Breath.
ing Spell"
BY the Associated Press.

At the end of the first month of
President Roosevelt's breathing spell, y
a check-up showed today that the 80
days were marked by number Of en-
couraging reports from business.
But a final determination of indus
trial progress during the month awaits
the issuance of governmental and
other statistics not yet available.
What effect, If any, the President s
pronouncement had on industrial in
dices is a question on which there are
varying views, and no attempt to de-
termine the effect Is made in this
article.
Though there we're some exceptions,
the end of the first month today
showed most barometers Of industrial
activity at or near the peak for the
year.
Unemployed Unchanged.
One discouraging feature, however,
was that though expenditures for d.
rect relief dropped during the month,
there were no figures showing a
marked decline in the number OF un-
employed. Government statistics on
employment for the period are still to
be tabulated.
A sign considered healthy was an
increase in bank clearings from $4,-
261, OPS 900 for the first week in Sep
TENDER to 6,401 $4,000 for the last
week of the month.
Another was an increase in electric
power output from 1908, 10000 kilo-
watt hours for the last week in August
to 1851 Sal 900 last week.
Carloadings, however. after jumping
from 679,86l to 707,644. slumped to
630,77l in the figures announced yes
terday.
The average price Of all stocks,
which was 487. the day before Presi-
dent RooSevelt's announcement, and
then jumped to the years high during
the next few days, had fallen of a
little to All, and bond averages had
slumped from 68.l to 66.5.
Encouraging Developments.
Some of the months more encour-
aging developments included:
| Announcement by United states
Steel of a s140, 100000 program for
plant changes and Improvements.
The Federal Housing Administra-
tons report of an increase in the
number Of modernization and repair
notes handled by financial institu-
tions.
Declaration during September of "a
extra dividends AS compared with As
year ago, and increased dividends in
A securities, as against %.
A report showing that the resources
of the Bankers Trust Co. of New
York had passed the $1,000, 900 ,0OC
mark for the first time in history.

Only one Of the political leaders not
university-trained. Made up for that
by travel and experience.
In his official biography one may
read. has travelled extensively in the
Far East and South Seas" That's
one way of putting it.
When the Spanish American war
broke out, he was working as a rail-
way fireman in the mountain divisions
Of British Columbia. He crossed the
border, enlisted. Didn't serve in
Cuba, but did through the troubles
with the Moros. Igorrotes and other
primitive peoples. After American
cordite had shattered romantic no

time of Boxer trouble. Harry and his
American comrades marched inland

store and rose rapidly. Always had
a gift O. the CAB" and a certain
evangehstic fervor. Became an alder
man. Led campaign to clean up
the city. Became chairman of the
sewage disposal scheme, and the
Greater Vancouver Annexation Com
mittee.
Launched into business as COM
pany promoter. Promoted some COM
panies and enterprises that were sue
cessful and some that weren't. Has
been troubled that way.
In 1911 offered himself as candi-
date for the Dominion Parliament
and was elected. Has been a member
continuously since, though he had
to find another seat once. First won
cabinet rank under Premier Meighen.
Gained a reputation as fiery speaker,
quotation left to him from some ex-
perience as a lay preacher. Spilled
the customs scandal of 1926 in a
bewildering burst of oratory.
Entered Mr.. BeAnett's cabinet as
minister of trade and commerce and
did good job. Made a speech on
sweatshops, mass buying and unfair
trade practices which started a par
namentary committee of investiga-
ton, with himself as chairman.
PrObed Business.
Investigated big business right, left
and center. Brought all the big BUSH
ness in Canada down on Mr.. Benefits
neck. Made himself highly popular
with sweated needleworkers, put-upon

great cause.

BY JOHN J. DAILY.
Lord Chummy Gray was the great
est talking cat Washington ever knew,
according to his owner, Or. Louease
Norton Lehman of 1911 Thirteenth
street northwest.
His lordship was a real converse
tionalist. as DR.. Lehman recalls it,
and three of the talking cats de-
cendants-Dawn, Play Boy and Gray
Boy-in the eighth week of their
kittenhood, are about to take up
where the old master left of. II they
follow the family tradition they will
soon be orators.
DR.. Lehman. who has practiced
medicine here for the past 80 years,
raising cats as side line, wants to
find a good home for what she sin
cerely believes to be marvellous kit
tens. At the moment, they are only
purring-and playing. Soon they
may be talking There is that pos
sibility. according to the doctor who
is an expert on talking cats. She
owns two.
Lord Chummy Gray. great-great-
grandfather of these three kittens,
was the champion of them all. He
created quite stir in social circles
before his lips were sealed, according
to his owner.
Even Sentences:
AS DR.. Lehman recounts it, his lord
ship could call her by her pet name,
Lulu" He could also say uncle, u
and hello" When he wanted to go
out. he would look at the doctor and
say just that, go out"
Best Of all, when America entered
the World War, Lord Chummy Gray,
who had been out on the streets lis
tening to the bells ring. came bound
ing back into the house shouting
"Hooray! TIL world safe for de-
mocracy." He always spoke in short
crisp sentences.
Now all this sounds unbelievable
but DR.. Lehman declares on her word
of honor that her beloved pet, Lord
Chummy Gray, could falkland that
she understood every word he said
He was tops in topical conversation.
AS perhaps the most useful service
this talking cat ever performed fol
humanity, DR.. Lehman cites this:
Whenever I had to be out on calls
and when the maid and the nurse
were absent, leaving no one to answer
the door bell, Chummy used to sit
on the front steps and tell the visitors
many of them patients-that the
doctor was not at home He said
that very plainly. They all under
stood"
1t may be a far stretch Of the
imagination to believe that the great
gifts of Lord Chummy Gray will bt
handed down even unto the fourth
generation-but DR.. Lehman simply

not even think Of himself as a
political figure. Was a school teacher
by profession, an evangelist by choice,
and was advocating an economic
theory. Politics had no place in his
outlook
Advocated his theory so success
fully, with such fervor and apparent
sincerity, that events ran away with
him. His followers organized a party

premier of Alberta and leader of a
party in the federal field as we'll.
Born in 1878. is the same age as
Harry Stevens. Wanted to be a Pres
byterian minister, but took up school
teaching instead. Was graduated
from Queens University and Hamil-
ton Normal School. Took special
training in commercial classes at
Brantford. Taught commercial work
in Brantford High School for 10
years. Went West to Calgary Is years
ago. Has been high school princi-
pal there ever since.
Church Aided Fame.
Taught a Bible class in Trinity
Church in Calgary. Later taught a
Bible class for Grave Presbyterian
Church. Then went to Westbourne
Baptist Church and taught there. Out
of this latter class grew an organiza-
ton known as the Calgary Prophetic
Bible Conference. 1t grew until II
filled the Grand Theater. People be-

tional Longshoremen's Association and
an active member of the Federated
Labor party.
In the Spring of 1919, on a Labor
lecture tour, arrived In Winnipeg at
the time of the general strike (simi-
lar to Seattle disturbances about the
same time). After arrest of the edi-
tor, took charge Of the Western Labor
News strike bulletin. Arrested on
charge of seditious libel, one count of
which was quotation from the book
of Isaiah. which is dangerous litera-
ture. Charge was later withdrawn.
In 1921 was elected to Parliament
from a Winnipeg constituency as an
Independent Labor party candidate
After a few years joined with United
Farmers of Alberta members and some
others to establish c. c. F. party.
An effective speaker, with pene-
trating rather strident voice. Re-
spected for his parliamentary abil-
ity. More practical than might appear
and wide awake politically. Would
much rather have half loaf in the
form of old-age pensions or minimum
wage laws than no bread in the form
of complete state socialism. Not above
doing little shrewd political trading
to advance his objects.
No vices, no hobbies, no wealth, nc
interests outside political affairs and
his family. Ably supported by his wife
as lecturer and writer.
Manages his conglomerate party
with q good deal of skill. and never
