''This is Lee Phillips, Steve" Aunt Jo introduced them, speaking briskly. "As I told you yesterday, Lee, don't want you to crowd Steve with his studies. Just enough to keep up with his class work. He has been ill.,"
 The girls merry blue eyes rested on Steve's interested face. q un. derstand. We'll take it easy, won't we, Steve?"
 "Your room is the first door on the right, Lel. Si took your trunk up. We have dinner at 12:30. And now, if you'll excuse me-I've lot to do," Aunt Jo said briskly. l Lee and Steve mapped out their study routine satisfactorily. "But no study today, Steve. We'll begin l tomorrow. Today I want you to take me around the farm. VIII you?"
 Sure" Steve said eagerly. He liked this teacher-governess. She was so young and pretty and gay.
 The days passed busily and hap-- oily. Study, lessons, walks all over Aunt Jos big farm. The girl was always interested in everything, gay, merry. Nights before the big log fire popping corn, toasting marshmallows, Miss Lee reading aloud the pirate tales he loved. Aunt Jo knitting. Gee, 1t was swell. Don't you ever feel that you'd | like to see your father, Steve?" Aunt Jo asked one night. Steve was looking well. His little body had rounded out. his listless- ! ness was gone. Tramping around the farm, riding horseback with Lee, playing with the dog.
 Sure. But won't go home. He had no right to bring me Q step- mother" The boys sensitive little mouth grew grim.
 'Well-he certainly surprised us all." Aunt Jo looked over her spec tacles. We didn't dream he'd meet a woman while he was in Chicago and marry her so quick" Aunt Jo made a little clucking sound with her tongue.
 The boy looked moodily at the blazing, cracking log. My dad is swell" he said in hards tight Nt- | tie voice, but"
 "You don't like your stepmothsr. is that 1t? Never mind. Don't let's spoil our evening"" the girl said gaily. Let's try that new game. Steve" ,-s
 Steve had been with his great aunt a month when his father walked into the house. Midday dinner had been cleared away. Steve and the girl were in the warm sitting-room, studying to- morrow's lessons.
 i've come for you, Vera Lee" the man said. "Too lonely with both of you gone. Want to come home with vs, son?" The man masked his anxiety with a gay, warm smile.
 The boys eyes were bewildered. incredulous, as he stared from one to the other.
 Aunt Jo told me to come here so we could get acquainted, Stevie. Hasn't it been fun? You see, I'm your daddy's new wife and your new pal"
 Steve looked at the sunny haired, merry-eyed girl. Slowly a wide grin lighted his face.

"I'll drive back with you. Aunt Joe, and I'll bring that youngsteE of mine home if have to"
 Easy, Steve" Aunt 10 said drily, Little Steve is a chip of the old block. No one could ever make you do something you didn't want to Steve. You should have written the boy that you intended to marry again. My sympathy is with that broken the news of your marriage your housekeeper that you were bringing home a wife,"
 Steve, who looked too young to be the father of an 11-year-old son, looked helplessly at the keen- eyed old lady. Aunt Jo never minced words.
 "The boy ran away the hour your housekeeper told him he had a stepmother. He packed a bag and hitch-hiked twenty miles to my farm. I'm glad to have him; and the farm will be good for him. for he isn't strong yet. The flu left him weak. But he's your son, and, of course his place is with you, much as I'd like to have him."
 Naturally. And want Vera to get acquainted with him as soon as possible"
 "You must go slow, Steve. If you bring that youngster home against his will he will hate Vera" Aunt Jo said thoughtfully. He must stay with me until"
 But he can't go to school out there. It's too far to the school house. Bad weather and"
 The outer door slammed. Quick steps crossed the hall. Here is Vera. I want you to meet her, Aunt Joe" Steve said. There was the light of a lover in his eyes as he rose expectantly to his feet. !.
 "I suppose you saw dad," Steve said sullenly as Aunt Jo entered the warm cozy living room. But I won't go back and he can't make me. I won't live with any old stepmother-"
 Don't get excited, Steve. Your dad is quite willing for you to stay here if you want to, but you must not fall back in your school work. While I was in town I engaged a governess. She will be out tomor- row."
 The boys tense little figure re- faxed. He wouldn't mind having a governess. He wouldn't mind any, thing just so he didn't have to go home and live with a mean old stepmother. Gee! Dad used to be swell. Why did he have to go and spoil everything?

delegates Of member groups of the
National Council for Prevention of

start a three-day session.
This basis for their discussions was
set forth by Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead
of Boston, presiding over the morn
ing session, who said three-quarters

troll by organization of forces. Inter-

eliminated such conflicts as intercity
and interstate warfare. prevalent in
former periods of history.
In opening their discussion of the
elements of consistent foreign policy
for the United States, the delegates
heard a letter of commendation of
President Roosevelt's embargo proc
1amation from Mrs. Laura Morgan,
council representative at Geneva. All
Americans at Geneva were pleased at
the Presidents action in declaring a
state of war in existence between Italy
and Ethiopia, Mrs. Morgan wrote, and
at his warning against aiding either
belligerent. Her report was read by
Frederick j. Libby, executive secretary
Of the council.
Although the council delegates

before the robbery. They were never
located, however.
The prisoner later was paroled on
the strength of the information he had
furnished and is said to have spent
considerable time after that helping
police in the investigation.
His information on the Wilson case
was second-handed, but it resulted in
the arrest and indictment of Miss Nc
Keever. She, too, is said to have given
valuable information, and later did
undercover work.
James Pugh, Montgomery County
States attorney, said special grand
jury would not be called, but that the
case will be presented to the regular
grand jury November II If ready by
that time. He said the Washington
Investigators had done "the best piece
of detective work he had ever seen" on

of one of the murderers. This. it was
said, came from Mcdonald. who told
police he could identify a cap found
at the scene of the shooting as belong
ing to a Washington underworld
character. This man, police said, was
seen with the cap just before the
shooting, although he had never been
known to wear one prior to that time.
It also was known that police have
recovered the car believed to have
been used by the slayers and the clip
from which the fatal bullets were
fired. They also are said to know the
whereabouts of the gun used in the
murder.
Police believe Dunn. now serving
time at Alcatraz for robbery. had some
connection with the case. He has
been questioned, but refused to make
any statement.
Prisoners Separated.
Another man whose activities have
been under scrutiny is Albert S. Sut-
ton, who recently was transferred
from Lorton Reformatory to the Jail.
This transfer, it was said, was made
to separate Sutton from the Lorton
prisoner under secret indictment. Off,
cials said Sutton and this man are
friends and that they did not want
them to talk to each other.
Reports that Claude Bailey, recently
killed while attempting to escape from
Lorton, and fifth man, repeatedly
held by police, were involved in the
shooting could not be confirmed.
Since the investigation started, how
ever, at least dozen men have been
arrested from time to time and then
released when their connection with
the crime could not be definitely es-
tablished One official said police
have been given a mass of hearsay
statements. but that they have ex-
perienced great difficulty in obtaining
any flrst-hand information.
Dunn's Cellmate Talks.
The first "tip-off" IN the case came
from a prisoner serving time in the
jail on a C0unterfeiting charge. The
district attorneys Office learned he
had expressed desire to tell what he
knew, and this information was given
police.
On Investigating, they learned the
prisoner had occupied the same cell
with Dunn.
He told them to find the apart
ment occupied by Dunn in Washing
ton and the woman who lived there"
if they wanted to solve the Wilson
case The man also told them he had
overheard three other prisoners in the
Jail discussing plans for the car barn
robbery, which resulted in the Staying
of James M Mitchell and Emory
Smith, Capital Transit Co. employees.
This robbery, he said, was plotted in
the District Jail.
He gave the name of one of the men,
who later was arrested, and said he
could identify the other two if he saw
them. When taken into custody, the
man named by the prisoner denied his
story and was later released. He lives
in New Jersey,
Others Not Located.
The prisoner was taken to New York
and other cities by detectives in an
effort to locate the other two men, who
had been released from the Jail shortly
