QU|TSF. B. l. POST.
Chief of Philadelphia Office
Accepts Position With
Du Points.

R. George Harvey. special agent in
charge of the Philadelphia field Office
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
and formerly a supervisor attached
to the headquarters here of the
G-men, has resigned to accept an
important post with the Du Points, it
was disclosed today.
Harvey played a major part in the
solution of the kidnapping hoax con-
feSsed by young Caleb Milne. Mines
confession was announced in New
York City today by j. Edgar Hoover,
director of the bureau.
The resignation will become effec-
tive with the advent of the new year,
Harvey will be given responsible duties
in the legal department of the E. I.
du Pont de Nemours Co. at Whining
ton, Del. He is a lawyer and a mem
ber of the South Dakota bar.
Entering the service of the F. B. I.
in 1925, Harvey was assigned to in
vestigate the work in various parts
of the country prior to appointment
in 1880 as headquarters supervisor.
During his term in Washington, he
supervised phases of the investiga-
tion of the death by garroting of Mrs.
Virginia Mcpherson, whose husband
was held by one grand jury and ex-
onerated by a second.
Harvey was made special agent in
charge of the Kansas City, Mo-, field
Office of the F. B. I. in 1881 and was
in the thick of the chase for many
notorious kidnapers and other gang
sters operating in the Midwestern
crime corridor" He had been in
charge of the Philadelphia Office since
1882. During his term there he di-
rected investigation of many clues
in connection with the Lindbergh kid
naping.
Director Hoover is understood to
have felt keenly the loss of Harvey,
who has been one of the bureaus key
men In the East. lit is understood the
Du Points offered Harvey a salary far
beyond that he could hope to receive
as G-man-reportedly a figure
considerably larger than the $4,000
the Government pays Director Hoover.
Harvey is the third special agent
in charge of large metropolitan Of
flee Of the F. B. I. to leave the bureau
in recent months because of more
lucrative offers from outside business
interests. Melvin Purvis started the
exodus when he resigned the Chicago
Office and Francis x. Fay followed by
leaving the New York post to become
assistant to the president of lead
ing New York business house.

BORAH TO INVADE EAST.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 28.-Sen-
ator William E. Borah will invade
New York City January % for his in
itial Eastern appearance in prelim-
inaries to determining the 1886 Re
publican presidential nomination.
The Idaho Senator's decision to ap-
pear in New York became known last
night and at once was generally &C
, cepted as heralding the formal open
ing of drive to capture New York's
delegation to the national convention
. in June.
He will come at the invitation of
New York Republication Liberals, who
: seek to bring Borah actively into the
fight to win the Empire States con-
Tention strength.
The invitation was extended by W.
Kingsland Macy and William Ziegler,
jr., heads Of the State Republican
'Progressives" at war with the "Old
Guard" Of the State party.
Senator Borah, it was learned, win
address a New York audience in
Brooklyn at Kisnet Hall, which seats
1000. Formal announcement of the
date and details Is to be made within
a few days.
Macy is former Republican State
chairman, whose was on so-called "old
guard" conservatives in the party re-
suited in his custer last year. Ziegler
was Macy's State treasurer and is
closely associated with him in the cur
rent progressive movement for Borah's
candidacy for the Republican presi-
dental nomination.
The decision to urge Senator Borah
TO come East as early as January is
based, 1t Is understood, on the belief
that no time is to be wasted in opening
Che light for convention delegates.
The date for election of New York's
DO delegates does not fall until April,
but Borah supporters anticipate a
possible sharp intra-party fight along
progressive conservative lines with the
present State leadership fighting to
send an unpledged delegation to Cleve-
land.
State Chairman Melvin C. Eaton
has announced unqualifiedly to keep
New York's delegates unpledged, while
Macy and others plan to oppose all
delegates not announcing for Sena-
tor Borah.
While the Macy group has ap-
parently received no overtures from
Representative Hamilton Fish, who
has also entered the lists in Borahs
behalf, 1t was made clear they would
not balk at cooperation should it
advance Senator Borah's chances.
Fish was one of those who aided in
ousting Macy from the State chair
n1anship.
It was also reported that distribu-
ton of petitions for Borah-pledged
delegates would be undertaken prior
to Borah's appearance here. although
these reports lacked authorized con-
f1rmation.
1t Is generally known, however,
that Macy has found strong support
for Borah in New York City, par
ticularly in Brooklyn and Queens. He
also has received encouraging reports
from upstate districts.

SOLDERING.
~ URING a discussion of this
and that the other night, the
subject of little known colors
came up and brought out
this story:
1t seems that two race-goers at
Laurel last Fall made their bets on
the next race and then fingered in the
dining room uatil the horses had pa
raded past the judges stand and had
reached the post on the far side of
the track. Inasmuch as their bets
were stable and Laurel has no loud
speaker system to call cut a deScrip-
tion of the race, they were particularly
anxious to know the color of the silks
the horses jockey was sporting.
So they turned to the printed pro-
gram, confident that would clear up
everything. 1t didn't. by any means.
for the colors were listed merely as
solferino.
(The dictionary, it was learned later,
described solferino as a bright pur-
plish-red. 1t derives its name from
the Battle of Solferino, at which Ma
poleon. 3D. defeated the Austrians.
That was in 1859, the year the color
was discovered)

That I may find in joy and pain

A symbol of the love Thou hast

God bless the homeless, wan

Kind souls whose furtive spir-

Knowing, although the world
with hate is bitter,
Their lives with Gods great
love is blest.

Forget my prayers for selfish

Grant only what Thou know is
