But, just in case some OF the
less intelligent legislators missed
the point, word is now coming
down .semiofficially on the in
side that some more rewards for
loyalty are to be made. Other
Congressman are in mind for ap-
pointment shortly to important
judicial and other vacancies.
This is likely to have the de-
sired effect in a Congress where
the whole legislative program
(tax revision, farm, wage and
hour, reorganization, etc. is in
distress. At least, it will help.
The way farm legislation is
developing strengthens the pre-
diction that the final form Of
the bill will not be evident for
weeks or months. The House
and Senate will pass widely diff
ferent bills; the real law will be
written afterwards when they
get together in conference.
ENLIGHTENED young busi-
ness leaders are being
brought up front quietly in Re
publican party reorganization.
The new national committee
secretary. Harold Mason, is one.
He is a 42-year-old shoe manu-
facturer, utilitist and railroad
director from Brattleboro, VT,
who has had health insurance
for his manufacturing industries
for 10 years and a 40-hour five
day week without pay cut)
since six months before NRA.

DUBLIC utilitists are not ad-
l. vertising it, but during the
peak of business activity last
spring, certain New England
power companies had to import
electricity from Canada. Cur
rently accepted figures on what
they might spend, if encouraged,
are probably not too high. A
conservative estimate is they
could Immediately spend about
$3.50, ,00o,0 900 profitably; prob
ably will have to spend $7OO,-r
100000 next year, no matter
what the Administration does.
The trouble behind these
peace negotiations is both sides
have their fingers crossed.
MIR. ROOSEVELT did not
AVA think enough of his housing

it was being delivered. Under.

somewhat similar. Legislators

ing agreement.
The other side Of the story is
generally the best. Consider the
WPA Administration donation
to the local Community Chest
which was further beneath its
quota than other Government
departments. The failure
aroused caustic comment from
other Government givers, and
a mention in this spot a ew
days back. But the WPA side
of the story is told by one of the
staff:
"This is a temporary or.
ganization, its employees with
few exceptions having heen re-
cruited from relief rolls. Com.
pared with other Government
workers, we have been unem.
ployed for months and years.
The security Of our present EN-.
ployment is a moot question
from day to day. No wonder,
we fell beneath our quota. E.
no wonder.
ONE Of the sharpest politicos
" in Congress is Mrs. Edith
Nourse Rogers, the Massa-
chusetts Republican. Three
weeks before the President
issued his order to speed up
Government purchases, she OBJ
tanned a written pledge from
the Navy Department to speed
up textile and shoe purchases,
in which her district is yitally
interested. Her activity sug.
gested the broader step to Mr..
Roosevelt.

$1,000 Reward Offer Fails
to Produce Mary Miles

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, February "A pink
silk nightgown purportedly discovered
in the apartment of William Desmond
Taylor, screen director, after he was
found slain Is years ago remained
more a myth than a memory today.
Mrs Charlotte Shelby, mother Of
Mary Miles Minter, star Of the Taylor
film era, said she had offered and still
offered a reward of 1000 to any one
who could produce the gown or "any
gown belonging to Mary bearing the
initials M. M. M"

Miss Minter had demanded Of Dis
trict Attorney Buron Fits that he
prosecute me or exonerate me COM
pletely in connection with the Taylor
case" He replied there was no rev
evidence to justify reopening OF the
investigation, which had cleared Miss
Minter Of any suspicion years ago.
1t seemed to be published stories
about the nightgown which irritated
Miss Minter most. No such gown
could be found in the district attor-
ney's nor police files and she insisted
there was none.
Herman Kline, former chief Of de-
tectives and one Of the original i'll

he recalled having found a filmy gar

the Taylor apartment.

GOLD MINE PLOT
SUSPECT SOUGHT
Robbery of Homestake Mine
f, Spurs Hunt for Soldier
of Fortune.
y the Associated Press.

OS tHe ASSoCldteu
DENVER, March 25.-Thefts from
the worlds largest gold mine-a crime
which ultimately ran up against the
barrier Of stringent gold laws-spurred
. Pacific Coast hunt today for a
soldier of fortune.
Rowland K Goddard district chief
Of the Secret Service, said the fugitive
was Parks Du Pont, self-styled for
mer member of the French Foreign
Legion and former ships officer. God
dard identified him as the brains"
of a conspiracy to dispose OF rich
amalgam stolen from the Homestake
Mine at Lead, S. Oak.
The agent added he had informa-
ton indicating Du Pont fed to the
Coast" but withheld further details.
Under Indictment.
Du Pont, Goddard, asserted, was
under indictment at Deadwood,
S. Oak, charged with selling about
$4,000 in gold to a Denver assayer
under an assumed name.
The Homestake Mine has been rob-
bed SYSTEMATICALLY "high-graded" in
the parlance Of mining men-for
many years.
Goddard said disposition of the
stolen gold had become difficult since
passage of the 1888 gold act. Sales
to the Denver Mint resulted in the
arrest Tuesday night of five men
three at the mine, one in Billings,
Mont, and one in Denver-the cli-
max of a three-year investigation by
the Secret Service and officers of sew
eral States.
The service learned that gangSters
once plotted to rob those who stole
the gold, run it into Mexico and re-
turn it to the United States for
sale.
The Homestake Mine, nestled In
the scenic Black Hills of Western
South Dakota, was discovered nearly
so years ago and has been in opera
ton day and night for more than half
a century It's annual gold output is
more than S7,00O,000 and its 1000
employees use a million pounds of dy-
Mantle a year to blast loose ore.
The company operates its own mill
and it was from the mill that the
high grading'-the miners name for
thefts of rich ore-frequently took
place, Goddard said.
He said even company officials were
unable to estimate how long the steal
ing had been going on beyond that it
covered several years"
A story widely told among mining
men is that the thefts were first dis
closed when an employe, going
through the mill at night, noticed a
human hand appear out of the floor
and reach up TO table containing
