M0URNS GEMS

While diplomats, resplendant in
uniforms, swords and decorations,
danced at the White House last
night at the annual diplomatic re-
ception, Senorita Elsa Lopez Nc
CURE, secretary to the Domini-
can Minister, sat in her apart
ment at 1109 Sixteenth st. N. w.
and mourned the loss of her
jewels.
A burglar, believed by police to
be small enough to have slipped
up the dumbwaiter shaft, entered
the apartment during the day and
made off with the gems, all family
heirlooms and valued at several
hundred dollars.

Leading Dictator
Quarter of Century

General Gomez for over a quar-
ter of a century was one Of the
worlds leading dictatorS, ruling
with an iron grasp probably I'M
excelled anywhere. FabulouSly
wealthy-his fortune has been
estimated at more than billion
dollarS-General Gomez ran Vene-
zuela as if it were a great estate
owned by him.
Powerful to the end, General
Gomez'S power did not weaken
with his years. He ruthleSsly sup
pressed all opposition, sent thou
sands of exileS from the country,
and earned a reputation through
out Latin America as both a ty-
rant and a paternal benefactor.
General Gomez was first made
president in 1909, and he held the
position until 1915. In 1922 he as
sumed it again, retiring in 1929.
Then in 1881 congress demanded
the resignation of President Perez
and unanimously elected Gomez
president and commandment chief
of the army, positions he held
until his death.
General Gomez would harbor no
foes. He organized q police Sys
TEN for his security that was re-
garded as more efficient than any
other in the world, not excepting
Soviet Russia's G. P. U. nor Ger
many'S crack secret police.
Secret Police Everywhere
Secret police were employed as
walters, taxi drivers, bartenderS
and bus conductors. and were
placed in other key positions
where they might overhear any
plots being directed against the
dictator.
General Gomez strict methods
in dealing with political enemies
caused various rumors to spread
some of them misunderstanding
tortures he was reported to have
inflicted.
One Of these concerned a series
Of Subterranean dungeons he was
supposed to have maintained near
the capital into which foes were
thrown and forced to walk con-
tinually upon a treadmill to pump
water out, failure resulting in
drowning.
Prosperity ReignS
Regardless of debate over his
strong-arm methods, Venezuela
prospered under his rule. While
neighboring nations on the South
American continent struggled in
debt and defaulted on bonds,
Venezuela accumulated SURPRISES.
nQuidated her foreign debt, and
drasticaIly reduced her internal
debt.
General Gomez was supreme,
his autocracy lying solely in poll
tical power. He ruled so thor
oughly there undoubtedly will be
q scramble to succeed him. AS far
as is known, there is no one in
direct line-no one was given
enough power to loom as a rival.
Perhaps War Minister Lopez Con-
trerar has the best chance. Among
other possible successors are
Rafael Valasco, governor Of Cara
cas-, and Perez Soto, governor OF
Bulia.

FREY ATTACKS
LEWIS PLAN

Craft unions belonging to the

urged to resist the Propaganda"
from the committee for industrial
organization, headed by John
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, in a letter received
from John P. Frey, president of
the metal trades department of
the American Federation of Labor.
Frey charged that employees who
are opposed to the union and com
munists are delighted at the eff
forts of Lewis to secure industrial
rather than craft organization of
unions.
Although Lewis and his cohorts
claim they are making no effort
to weaken the union, Frey's let
ter charged them with splitting
the labor group at a crucial time.

CARACAS, Venezuela. Dec. 10
O.N.SO.-Gen. Juan Vicente Go

years, died at 11:45 p. m. last
night, it was announced today.
Seventy-eight years old, General
Gomez had been in failing health
in recent months, and was near
death last July.
General Gomez has been presi-
dent of Venezuela three times
since 1909, his last term dating
from 1881, but, whether in the
presidency or not, he has been the
actual ruler of the country con-
tinuouSly since 1909.

any of US realized" Agnes Gibson agreed
''After ALL our father was his father" Cora
nodded gravely
They were healthy, wholesome middle
aged women with large noses and small eyes
and emphatic teeth. Ada was a teacher
Agnes was nurse; and Cora kept books for
hardware merchant. Their passions were
practically, order, and economy. Each had
lean savings account, and now, thanks to the
unconsdered haf-brother, there was warm
pink glow on the far horizon.
Next day came long envelope from the
hospital where he had been taken after the
train wreck, enclosing a note from Henry
himself, dictated to nurse
Dear Sisters

- my wife to 60 straight to you. know
you will give her home until she can look
after herself. She is very young and inexperi-
enced. Her mother just died. leaving her alone
and penniless. She is injured too. Please be
good to her. -"
The note ended abruptly, and the nurse had
added neat postscript. Mr.. Gibson had
tainted at that point and never regained con-
sciousness. Mrs. Gibson had broken arm and
was suffering from shock. The hospital would
telegraph when she was able to travel
The Gibson sisters sat looking at each other
in stunned silence. The intrusion of strange,
weeping, widowed bride into their lives would
be most disturbing, but blood was indeed
thicker than water - even half-blood and
Henry had thought enough of them to give
them ten thousand dollars.

but Mother liked him right away and
trusted him. She told him all about our
affairs; only there weren't any affairs left,
really! That was what broke her heart, leaving
me alone, without money"
Ada spoke after a pause. Wasn't it very
unwise to travel abroad in such very limited
circumSt anCes?"

Ada met the train and had to bring the half
sster-in-law home in taxi, because of the
arm in sling and fantastic amount of lug
gage pasted over with labels
When Agnes and Cora came in, their little
sitting room seemed to be bursting with
steamer trunks, steamer rugs, Suitcases, hat
and shoe boxes; huddled in the midst of them
was small pale girl drenched in tears.
Agnes spoke kindly in her crisp manner.
How do you do. Joan? Arm coming along

rallied her. "Of course, poor

HE grief which the Gibson sisters
experienced at the sudden death of
their haif-brother was largely
academic. They had not seen him
for several years and while they realized the
futility of boarding resentment, they had
never forgotten their girlhood bitterness
against the pretty and helpless stepmother
who had so quickly replaced their own plain
and practical one. As soon as they were
equipped to earn their livings. they had left
home, and after their father died - the soft
second wife trailing him swiftly and senti-
mentally to the cemetery - the boy had
slipped into dim background.
Henry however, had been motivated by
definite family feeling He had sent them
conscientious Christmas cards and invitations
to his graduations from high school and
college, and recently there had been three
picture postals from his hasty European holi-
day - Tower of London, Napoleon's Tomb
Roman Forum but the breath-taking, un-
believable thing was the letter, just before he
sailed, stating that he had taken out a ten
thousand dollar accident policy in their joint
favor.
Stepping competently about their tiny, tidy
fiat the morning after the telegram getting
breakfast doing the dishes, making the beds,
again in the evening, getting dinner, doing the
dishes, opening the beds, they told each other
in hushed tones what tragic and terrible
thing it was. They would not be able to miss
and mourn Henry because he had never been
deep in their hearts or habits, but they would
think of him with deepest gratitude forever.
BLOOD is thicker than water!' Ada said.
