where the conversation between 10
and his mother might lead, Marsh
launched into a rather extended
narrative which was entertaining,
but pointless.
10 could not help smiling to her
self when she saw how neatly he
had drawn the old woman away
from her quarry, for in a few mo-
ments Mrs. Marsh was wholly abb
sorbed in her sons "reminiscences,
allowing 10 to listen and eat her
dinner in peace.
Obviously Mrs. Marsh was ex-
brilliantly concerned with her only
sons past and future. Realizing
this, 10 forgave her much of her
animosity.
She would be as suspicious of any
strange woman in whom Douglas
had shown so much interest. After
all, Douglas Marsh was all the old
woman had now. Compared with
him, her money meant nothing, and
the memory of his father might be
only bitter memory
While Douglas ran on pleasantly,
10 watched Mrs. Marsh-and pitied
her. But her pity did not blind
her to the fact that the old woman
could make it very unpleasant for
her at Crest Lake, and that prob
ably she would miss no opportunity
to do so.
THEY had received their coffee
II in fragile demi-tasses when
Douglas at last finished his yarn
it had been an amusing incident of
summer when he had his yacht
anchored off Tahiti. And no sooner
had he finished than Mrs. Marsh
began.

JOS mouth opened slightly. ooh
those Montgomerys?" She
hadn't meant to say it, and at the
words Mrs. Marsh looked at her
oddly. In a surprised tone she asked
10 if she knew the family.

explained. She was q sorority
sister of mine at school"
oh" said the old lady, as if
that explained a great deal. "She's
an attractive and charming girl
and her family are of the best"
She turned to her son. Il thought
it would be good for you to have
the girl here, Douglas. Some one of
your own age and Of your own"

interrupted hastily. He offered 10

Marsh. 81 can't stand to be near

I'm going up to my room, anyway"

Miss Earhart had come down the

Loose by u. S. Judge.

Allen c. Bomberger, brilliant Wa
bash College honor student and
confessed Self-kidnaper. was freed
today by Federal Judge Robert G.
Baltzell of attempted extortion
charges.
Judge BaltzelI granted a de-
murrer filed by the youths attor-

ger had not violated the law, be-
cause the letters he wrote to his
father demanding $4,000 ransom
threatened no harm to any one
other than himself.
The Wabash student wrote in the
letters that he had been kidnapped
and that the kidnapers demanded
the ransom. His attorneys claimed
that he could have threatened to kill
himself without violating a Federal
statute. The state indicated that
it might file an appeal. which. if
granted. would merely clear up the
point o flaw and not bring Bomber
ser to trial.

Andre was the oldest of the chill
dren and he took charge in the abb
sence of his father.
Antoine and Gisele, the young
est, were hungry and crying for
their breakfast. The others, too,
were ready for food.
Andre set to work. He stuffed
paper and kindling into the stove.
Apparently, the fire was slow in
starting. Neighbors later said they
believed Andre poured kerosene on
the fire to make it burn.
In any event, there was an eX-
plosion and within a few minutes
the frame house was in flames.
Apparently the children were too
frightened to run from the house
or the older ones attempted to fight
the flames until it was too late. All
were trapped inside.
When neighbors were able to
penetrate the RUNS of the house
they found the bodies close together,
some with arms around each other.
The childrens' mother has been
in a hospital for several weeks. She
was not told of the tragedy.

teachers salary schedule is always
made out at the end of May.
The bulletin on the survey
showed that while the decrease in
average high school teachers SAL
aries in the surveyed cities between
the years 1881 and 1885 has been
1913 per cent, the Indianapolis de-
crease percentage for the same years
has been 10 per cent.
The decrease in pay for elemen
tary school teachers was even greater
in comparison with other localities
than the high school group.
Paul G. StetSon, superintendent of
schools, pointed out that the low
salaries here are due to a great ex-
tent to the cut of 9 per cent i'm
posed by state law. The School
Commissioners ordered a second
cut of IL per cent in June of 1888.
Only part or all of the IL per
cent commissioners cut can be re-
turned, it was said.

SENATE DELAYS
SECURITY BILL
Bitter Debate to Slow Up
Measure, but Passage
Is Predicted.
BIZ United Press

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The
Administration social security bill,
embracing the first permanent ma
tional program to aid the aged and
iobleSS, this afternoon faced a
gauntlet of Senate delay and debate,
but leaders confidently predicted
ultimate enactment this session.
Roosevelt forces both in and out
of Congress displayed fresh agrees
siveness. Coupled with AdminiStra-
ton action against those considered
to be obstructing the relief program,
leaders sought to shake Congress
out of the lethargy which had
threatened to tie up major legis-
lation.
Even if the Senate moves at a
quicker tempo, it will be some time
before it gets to the security bill,
which the House yesterday approved
bv a smashing 11-to-1 majority. And
then there is certain to be pro-
tracted debate. The $4,000, 900, 900
pay roll taxes, the Townsend plan
and other proposals are certain to
be made Senate issues.
The bill probably will have to
take it's place behind NRA extern
sion and the bonus in consideration
by the Senate Finance Committee
The comm tee, however, already has
held hearings on general principles
of the security program and will De
in a position to get down to work on
the bill itself when the other ques-
tons are out of the way.
Only 33 House members voted
against the security bill on final
passage. Fourteen we're conservative
Republicans.
