J. STILL UNSETTLED
Stevens Says Bag Can Be
Repaired-St. Louis
Site Favored.

RAPID CITY, S. Oak, July 13-
The exodus from the strato camp
started today, but the possibility of a
flight yet this year-from another
base-persisted.
Capt. Albert w. Stevens, fight
commander, whose ambition to set a
new altitude record was shattered by
collapse of the giant balloon just be-
fore its scheduled take off Friday,
expressed belief 1t could be repaired.
But if flight is made, it will be
from st. Louis instead of the Black
Hills, Stevens added.
After an examination of the bag,
Stevens said it was nine-tenths un-
damaged.
New Top Only Needed.
"All we need is a new top" He
added, If we find the top was not
strong enough, we can make 1t
stronger"
The secret investigation by repre-
sentativeS of the two flight hackers,
the United States Army Corps and
toward close, but no explanation of
the sudden collapse of the partly in
flated balloon was forthcoming. Off
Gals indicated their findings would
be announced elsewhere
AS a crew spread out the 100000
cubic foot capacity bag for final in
spection of the rips, the flight camp
in the high-walled natural bowl began
to take on a deserted appearance.
Several scientists attached to the ex-
petition planned to leave today;
others were to follow tomorrow.
Apparatus Shipped.
instruments were shipped away by
airplane. The big bag was to be
boxed and trucked to its maker in
Akron, Ohio, after the final inspec-
ton here.
Capt. Stevens expressed the opinion
that too much money had been spent
to give up the project entirely this
year.
Months of planning and nearly
100000 have been contributed to the
project.
But favorable weather cycles are
too far apart at Rapid City, Capt.
Stevens said in explaining new pase
would be sought, and it Is too expen-
sive to have scientists and instruments
assembled here.

RUMOR FREEMAN
FOR ISLAND POST
Report of Virgin Isles Probe
Outcome Meets Heavy
Silence.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freSs.
Persistent reports OF a new Virgin
Islands administration headed by
Charles William Freeman remained
unconfirmed by the administration
yesterday under a blanket Of silence
imposed by the White House.
Even the name Of Freeman as a
likely successor to Gov. Paul M. Pear
son was received skeptically In some
quarters. He is Washington lawyer,
Army Reserve Corps major and former
resident of Los Angeles.
Other reports current in the absence
of any official information since the
Senate investigation was halted sud-
denly Thursday, have limited at the
possible transfer of the islands ad-
ministration from the Interior Depart
ment back to the Navy.
Resignation Rumor Flies.
Some even have gone to the extent
of mentioning possible resignation
of Secretary Ickes. whose feud with
Senator Tydings, Democrat of Mary
land, chairman of the Investigating
Committee, caused President RooSe-
welt to step in. But it was recalled
that Ickes' resignation forecasts have
abounded in the past and he still is
in the cabinet.
Friends OF Freeman quoted him as
saying he knew nothing about any
appointment whatever. Other sources
disclosed information leading to the
belief that the rumors were of po-
litical origin.

By STELLA SMITH

As Augusta Chapman sat in the big library at Hillhurst she was bathed in a warm. satisfying sense of fruition. All had come about as she had hoped and expected. Her son Reggie. all her own, was here at her side. They had come to hear the reading of Nathan Chapman's will; and since the day of Reggie's birth 1t had been no secret that he was to inherit his uncle's millions. Soon she would take off her hat and be at home here at Hilhurst. At last!
 The years had been so long since her husbands death. Long and hard! She hadn't been DOT, but she'd had to deny herself and deny Reggie. Nathan had done very lit- tie for her, and he could have done so much. It had been bitter, but she had held her tongue, waiting for this day.
 Augusta knew that people were coming into the room and taking seats around her, but she didn't see them. Today Reggie became master of Hillburst and she it's mis- tress. Poor, dear Reggie! Come into his own at last! It had been hard for him, too.
 Nathan had put him through college, but had doled out his ex- pense money wit ha sparing hand. Then he had insisted that Reggie get a job. The heir to the Chapman millions! That had been a mis- take, for 1t was in the office where he worked that he met the Patter- son girl.
 That girl! Augusta thrilled with gratitude to- think that Barbara Patterson had been disposed of. She had Nathan to thank for that. How much 1t had cost him she would never know. The little mo- body! How infatuated Reggie had been.
 Augusta shivered as she remem- bered how frightened she had been when Reggie told her that he and Barbara were engaged. She had tried to reason with him, to wear him down. The girl was common. Not in his class. But he had been obdurate. It was the first time he had ever opposed her. Somehow today she felt that it was also the last. Things were coming her way.
 The attorney was sorting over papers on the big desk. That was where Nathan had sat the day she came to tell him about Reggie and the Patterson girl. It would take money to buy her off. she had ex- plained, and she had no money. as he well knew. Its so important that Reggie doesn't marry the wrong girl" she had reasoned, and Nathan had answered: Its im-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-19

That Patterson girl! Nathan had cooperated splendidly. He had promised to see the girl, have a talk with her, then take steps he deemed necessary. Then that night! Reggie came home and she started the argument as usual. "Its for your own good" she always contended. Reggie had avoided her eyes as though he were asham- ed. "Please don't speak of Bar bara again, mother. Uncle Nate has taken care of that matter" What relief that was!
 She felt Reggie's arm against hers. Yes, he had come to see 1t her way. He never mentioned the girl, and he had been so kind and tender, as if trying to thank he. for saving him from that adver.- turess. But she gave Nathan his due. He had been a prince.
 Idly she wondered if Nathan had left her anything. It didn't mater. The details of the will didn't con- cern her very much. It wss all Reggie's, and she would have the management of the estate. Prac' tically!
 Augusta kept her head bent in a pose of decorous mourning as the room slowly filled.
 She was scarcely listening when the attorney began to read, Know all men by these preDents--" She was busy planning changes at Hillhurst.
 She would discharge the entire staff, she determined, aa the lawyer read list of bequests to servants Why should he leave them money that was rightfully Reggie's? But that was Nathan!
 ITO Augusta Chapman, widow of my brother James" Augusta pricked up her ears--"the income of trust fund.-" Pin money! But sweet of Nathan! She smiled at the floor.
 That Kirmanshah rug was beauty. The massive walnut fur niture! She would brighten up the library with yellow draperies. Ma than had always been so conserva- tive.
 ITO my nephew, Reginald James Chapman, the sum of $5.000." Five thousand dollars! What was the man saying? A strange fear almost suffocated her. What was 1t all about?
 'To my dear young friend, Bar bara Patterson, the residue of my estate, consisting of Hillhurst, all other real estate, stocks and bonds, money in bank--"
 Augusta heard no more. A sort of oblivion washed over her. Then ..l.. 1fY.np s.H the will was over. Well, they TOT, her terror. Her head came up eyes of Barbara Patterson. "The brozen piece! Nathan! Taken in by a gold digger! Stealing Reg gie's girl! All but on his death bed"
 Then Reggie's arm was around the girl and he was saying boyishly, Mother, Barbara and I are going to be married at once. We promised Uncle Nate. You heard the will? He practically demanded it."
 Augusta felt nauseated. The way Reggie was looking at that girl!
 Uncle Nate was nuts about Bar bara," he went on. "You'll love her, too, when you know her, mother"
 I'm sure shall," said Augusta Chapman.
