CHAPTER VII

1t was indeed . closely-knit town neither large nor small, into whicE John Courtney brought Helena- nnd to her alarm she discovered that the Henderson Department Store was easily the most impres. eivo structure there. She was tC learn that 1t was impressive moi simply in size. True, 1t was not al large as Helvig's, where Helena had worked, but 1t was easily the big gest organization of it's kind in itl half of the state. And to the town as well as to the surrounding farm families, it was center of life. Hen. derson's had tea or lunch there. The store was more than just Q place where they could buy almost any. thing they wanted.
 You can sec from what I've said" Helena wrote her mother "that I've had my hands full-anc thet I don't know yet just what tc do. I'd thought of having you here with me, but the truth is l don't know whether I'll stay. I'm not liv. ing in the Henderson house. It's toe big, and 1t frightens me. And ] never could feel had any business there. So I've taken Q little apart Enent and I've hardly been out of it the last week. But today John Courtney telephoned and said he was coming over. I have to meet Peters uncle, and Q man from the bank. ."
 She tried to keep from this let- ter to her mother the feeling of bowilderment, the frightening knowledge that beyond her little apartment the town was waiting to see her, appraise her, criticize her. Helena did not confess that she had more than once considered escaping to the station and taking the first traiIi-any train, 50 long as it was bound away from the town and the towering Henderson Department gtvre.
 She had just sealed and stamped this letter when the bell of her apartment sounded. "It must be Courtney" Helena thought with . sigh. Aloud, she said, Come in, please"
 Turning from the little writing desk she confronted, not John Courtney, but Leah Frazier. The girl wore a smart tweed suit and Q jaunty hat which Helena in- stinctively realized had come from Helvig's.
 "0ood morning, Miss Frazier" Helena faltered. I'm awfully glad you called"
 '"T'his, answered Leah Frazier, "isnt precisely Q call, Miss Der Tik." She smiled coldly. Tt is Helena Derrik, isn't 1t? I mean, you would mt quite call yourself Mrs. Peter Henderson, would you?"
 Helena ignored the thrust, Wont you sit down?"
 "Thank you, no. I can state my business very briefly. understand vhat you're going to meet Roger Barnes today?"
 "Yes, I am"
 Roger Barnes managed the store for Peter, you know. I suppose you plan to turn everything over to him?"
 Helena fingered the letter she had just written. I'm not prepared just now to discuss my plans"
 Leah Fraziers eyes glittered with sudden anger. She kept her voice level with an obvious effort. Per haps, however, you'll consider my advice"
 Perhaps"

RUSSIA lost one of its greatest ~ writers and supporters when Maxim Gorki died recently, at the age of 68. As fiery as was his pen for the cause of the Soviet, SO embittered was his own life. Orphaned at 5, he fought through years of privation and sickness, until, at the age of l0, he sent a bullet into one lung. Saved by an operation, he began anew to educate himself by prodigious reading, .and to spread his bitter thoughts in writing.
 Thus, born Alexis Maximovitch Pleshkov, he assumed the name of Maxim Corki, Maxim, the Bit. ter," and began writing on behalf of the oppressed.
 When the revolution broke out in 1917, he supported it ardently and soon became the literary mouthpiece for the Soviet cause. So greatly was he admired in Russia that his birthplace of Nizhni Novgorod was renamed Gorki, gigantic plane was named for the writer, and his

Bonus Passage Sure,
Poll on Hill Shows
nv COLE r MORGAN

Congress is overwhelmingly for
immediate cash payment of the
soldier bonus. Should President
Roosevelt veto the measure, there
are almost certain indications his
veto will be overturned.
This was revealed yesterday by
a poll of the membership of both
House and Senate by the Wash.
ington Herald and Universal
Service.
There was strong sentiment
sweeping both chambers for the
bonus. The poll showed a sur
prisingly small detection if the
President vetoeS the bill now be
fore Congress and expected to
reach House vote Friday.
S Questions Asked
Three hundred and fifty-one
Of the 432 Representatives and 70
Of the IS Senators were contacted
and asked:
1. Do you favor immediate
cash payment Of the soldier
bonus?
2. Should the President veto
such a bill would you vote to
override his veto?
3. Do you favor paying the
bonus out Of the unexpended
balance of the four billion dol
lar work relief appropriation.
4. Do you favor paying it by
the issuance by the Treasury of
new currency?
5. Do you favor paying it by

Last Veto Upheld
Among Senators not interviewed
are IA who last May voted to
lost by only seven votes. These,
together with bonus advocates
among the noncommittals are ex
pected to provide the balance
needed to give a clear two-thirds
majority over a veto in the Senate
Last year the Senate upheld
the Presidents bonus veto by q
vote of 40 to 81. The bill origi
tally passed by IS to 80, foes
recruiting gains from ranks Of
members not voting on the pre-
vious ballot.
Among the House members moi
contacted in yesterdays poll were
81 who voted to override the
Presidents veto by the Patman
bill. The House passed that bill
originally by 318 to 80 and over
rode the veto by 322 to SO.
Sentiment in both branches was
revealed as widely divided over
the method of payment, to be
treated in subsequent legislation
In both houses, however, members
leaned more to new currency than
to work relief funds or a bond
issue.

JURY TO HEAR
HEWITT CASE
IN 1ODAYS

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9 GIN.
S0.-Police and the district at
torney today announced they
would take the Ann Cooper Hewitt
sterilization case" before the
grand jury within the next ten
days.
Deputy District Attorney Agust
Fourtner and Police Inspector
George Engler said they expected
to file Mayhem charges against
any person connected with this
case who is pictured as violating
the law in the evidence we can
produce"
Fourtner explained that the
crime of Maybe mconcernS the
wrongful deprivation OF a portion
of a persons body. He added:
"Dr. Samuel G. Boyd freely
admits that he exciSed certain
Of Miss Hewitt's organs in the
sterilization operation"
SHOWS NO EXCISION
A strange angle in this respect,
however, is the hospital record
which indicates there was no
exciSion.
DR.. Boyd insists he acted In
utmost good faith" in following
the request of the 21-year-old
heiress' mother, Mrs. Maryon
Cooper Hewitt, international
socialite, against whom Ann has
filed q $500, 900 damage suit here
charging she was tricked into
the operation without her know
ledge so that her mother might
inherit a large portion OF her
fortune.
DR.. Boyd added that there is
no question in his mind but that
he acted entirely legally and
within the best traditions Of his
profession.
Reconciliation Killed
Possibility of a reconciliation be
tween the heiress and her mother
named with three others in a
$500, 900 sterilization damage
suit" filed by the girl, was
blasted today by the girls at
torney.
Russell P. Tyler, the attorney,
said:
"The damage suit will not be
withdrawn. The complaint
states that Miss Hewitt was
deprived of motherhood through
the conspiracy of her mother
and three cOdefendants in
order to prevent her having
children who could inherit her
share of the vast fortune left
by her father, Peter Cooper
Hewitt.
"How could there be any re-
Cancellation with such q barrier
between mother and daughter"

counsel, Aaron Sapiro, who is here

TUGWELET0WN
TROUBLE LAID
TO SPIES

BERWYN HEIGHTS, Md. Jan.
9.-Republicans and Communists
today were blamed for the lsbor
trouble and strikes" that nave
marked the work on the $500, 900
model" Tugwelltown here.
Three officials who refused to
allow the use Of their names de-
clared Republican Senators had
planted" spies among the work
men to report on every phase Of
the construction work, while
avowed Communists were taking
every opportunity to create dis
trust among the workers.
One official said he had seen
o letter from q prominent Senator
to a workman asking the laborer
to report everything" he could
find out about the project.
Others Easily Planted"
He added that it was useless to
fire men Of either class since
others would be planted" there
as quickly. in explaining how the
strike" Of Tuesday night was
settled at the Canal Street lodge.
While these charges we're being
made, workmen today began plac-
ing forms for the concrete base
ment walls of 1872 houses. They
were being hampered, as during
the past two weeks, by mud, deep
rutted, Slushy mud, churned by
tractors and trucks; mud through
which engineers, visitors and
workmen must go, afoot or by
auto, while a corduroy road is
being fashioned through the hilly
pasture land which comprises the
first section Of houses.
On this first group, technically
known as Section D, 1872 houses
Of varied construction are being
built.
Community Heating
A unique feature Of the section
is not the grouping Of the houses
into clumps Of three or four or
more, nor the landscaping planned
for the 20 acres in the plot, but
the fact that each clump will have
a community basement and heat
ing system. Only one basement is
being built for each clunp Of row
houses. In that one basement will
be placed the heating system for
all the houses in the row.
While engineers began actual
house construction and laying
sewer connections to where a dis
poSal plant Is to be placed. audi
tors Of the Resettlement Admins
tration appeared at Upper MARI
boro to learn from county records
how much it will cost to govern
the completed town.
Without finally settling on q
figure, they learned that it costs
approximately $l10 to provide
county government to an average
family.
Half Of this cost is centered on
the education of the one school
age child the average family has.
The remainder is divided into
sanitary conveniences, policing,
governing officials, and road
maintenance, it was said.
The final figure on the cost Of
governing the town of 1850
houses will determine what part
the Federal Government will play
in administering the town once it
is completed and what agreements
will be made with the county Of.
ficialS for the towns support.

 "Is Fine Priest" Said Bishop.
 "Father Coughlin is . fine priest" he said. "He has been indulging in no propaganda contrary to the rules of the church.
 "fn his activities in the United States, he merely was illustrating points expressed by Pope Leo XIII in his H,ncyciical Rerum Novaruif,."
 "There has been . lot of fuss 1T, the United States because Father Coughlin Is very powerful" Bishop Gallagher said.
 "eorne fear that he may be able to determine the election. Father Coughlin is being accorded an i'm" mense and fully justified reception in view of tho fact that he Is ex" pounding the principles set forth in the encyclicals both of Pope Leo XIII and Plus xI as they have nev- CT been preached before.
 Fuss Is Ridiculous
 "The fuss in the United States is ridiculous. Father Coughlin Is doing nothing more than telling the truth" "
 Bishop Gallagher indicated his approval of the radio priests critic" ism of President Roosevelts morle- tary and industrial policies.
 "Father Coughlin is guided by the most sincere and clear religious principles" he said.
 His work is nothing more than clarification of the contents of the famous encyclical of Leo XIII, rerlim noarum, regarding the sacred rights of the public.
 Emphatic Denial
 "I desire to deny emphatically that my voyage to Italy has any connection with the radio addresses of Father Coughlin.
 "Father Coughlin's activities must be considered As of q political na- ture. Father Coughlin speaks Tor the public. He is . profound scholar, well acquainted with the questions interesting the public and its defense.
 "His addresses coincide perfectly with a priests mission"
