CHAPTER 2

Cf1AE 1EES y
RIFT LIONEL CLARK did not
shut me out from the inner circle
at Yale. He answered with q
o,,ick smile and a turn Of his head
toward me when 1 asked about the
truth of the theme he had done
of the hatboat era on the
Mississippi in the early 1905.
of course, it is true. You east
erners seem to have an idea that
all the romance of the world is in
YOUR Boston Tea Party or in Poca-
hontas. But we've got it out
there"
Daniel Boone? ?"
He shook his head. HE is spec
tacular, of course. But there was
an early social background which
was unique. My great-grand-
mother carried her bali gown of
yellow brocade in bandbox on my
great-grandfather's first voyage
up the Mississippi, and she wore it
later to welcome Lafayette"
My own grandmothers had never
known ball gowns. In their pio-
neer days they had aspired to
nothing finer than a Sunday best
of wool in the winter or print in
summer. And 1 am sure that
none of them had ever danced with
Lafayette. My imagination was
fred.
why don't you write a book
about it?"
That's what 1 want to do. 1
have a chapter or two on paper"
We parted after few moments,
but 1 was thrilled by the en-
counter. The fact that he was
from st. Louis drew about him a
magic circle. 1 had wanted to
ask him if he knew Mimi LIE
Brun. I felt that even if he did
not, he at least knew the places
which her presence frightened.
He walked on the same streets,
entered the same houses.
The time came when I spoke to
him again of something he had
written for the college paper. He
liked my praise, and my interest,
I think, flattered him. He offered
to read to me the chapters of his
book.
Come over to my rooms to-
night"
His rooms were charming, and I
thought he must have a great deal
Of money. I was to learn, how
ever, that his means were moder-
ate. l was impressed by the fact
that his belongings. while the best
of their kind, gave an effect of
exquisite simplicity. Nothing was
cluttered up. But he had good
books, deep comfortable chairs, a
lamp whose base was a vase of
old Chinese pottery with a shade
of translucent silk showing shad-
owy Chinese figures He told me
later that his grandfather had
furnished his rooms and had given
him an allowance, and it was then
l found that his grandfather was
the senator from Missouri whom
I had observed so often in Wash
ington. It is needless to say that
the news thrilled me.
do you know Mimi LIE Brun ?"
! demanded.
His surprise was apparent. "She
is my cousin. Have you met her ?"
flushed. Il saw her once in
Washington. And l heard your
grandfather speak"
He is dead, you know"
had read that in the papers.
| wanted to ask more about Mimi
LIE Brun, but Lionel was keen to
get at his story. So l sat in one
of the big chairs and listened,
much uplifted by the fact of my
new acquaintance and his easy &C
ceptance of my friendship.
There was a table well back in
the corner of the room, and on
this table was a photograph in a
standing silver frame. l found my
eyes gradually focusing upon it.

PETITIONS SEEK|NG|
FARM BILL ACTION |
Five Circulate in Congress
for Granary Plan and
Crop Control.
AZ the Associated Pres

8y the Associated Press.
Five petitions circulated today
among members of Congress for early
bracing the lever normal granary
and crop control.
The petitions expressed alarm over
the possibility next years farm sur
pluses will bring disastrously low
prices. Several administration leaders
signed them.
The request for action 1t this ses-
sion followed final congressional ap-
proval yesterday of a modified farm
tenancy program and the introduce
ton of a proposed "A. A. A. Of 1887"
by Senator Pope. Democrat, of Idaho
A bill along the same line has been
offered in the House by Representa-
tive Flanagan, Democrat, of Virginia.
Terms Measure Impractical.
Chairamn Jones of the House Ag-
riculture Committee called Popes
measure impractical and said he would
have one of his own ready within a
few days.
He previously had despaired of any
vote before adjournment.
The suggested "A A. A. of 1897"
contains Secretary Wallace's lever
normal" granary theory. It was
sponsored by Edward A. ONeal. presi-
dent Of the American Farm Bureau
Federation and Endorsed in principle
by Wallace
The ever normal" granary con-
templates the storage of crops during
years there are surpluses and their
release for consumption during years
Of short yields
The tenancy measure sent to the
White House provides for the spending
OF sl0.000,00O the first year, s25, ,000,-
600 the next and $50000,000 each
subsequent year.
1t also authorizes expenditures OF
sl0000,000 the frs year and $20,-
100000 each of the next two years
to retire crop lands not worth cult
waiting.
Drop in the Bucket"
Chairman Jones said the program
was only crop IN the bucket
compared with what is needed for the
Nations 2,500.000 farm tenants.
He estimated the first years ap-
preparation would help between $500
and 5000 acquire farms Tenancy
has been increasing, he added, at the
rate of 10000 year.
Jones said farm tenancy is fer
tile field for private philanthropy
In passing this legislation he
said, 1T was our hope that wealthy
persons having an interest in the
Nations welfare might be encouraged
to help.
How much better it would be if
rich men who build cold monuments
would establish similar loan funds
for tenants"
An Agriculture Department off,
cial said the Resettlement Admins
tration will be reorganized under a
new name to direct the tenancy pro-
gram.
He said Secretary Wallace favored
calling it the Farm Security Ad-
ministration or the Tenant Security
Administration.

ERROR EXPLAINED
|NENTRYWARRANT.
Second One Ready for Serv-
ice in Case to Test
n. 0. |. c. Validity.

The error in warrant which re-
suited in directed verdict of mot
guilty" Tuesday in the trial Of Ed
mund D. Fletcher, former aide to
Attorneys General in the Harding and
Coolidge administra tions, in a case
charging him with unlawful entry
into a house about to be taken over
by the Home Owners Loan Corp, was
the fault of investigating officials and
not the district attorneys office, it
was asserted today by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Karl Kindleberger.
At the same time it was learned
that a new warrant had been de-
livered to the eighth precinct for
service, but as yet no return has been
made on it.
Kindleberger today produced the
original statement Of facts in the
case. which, he claims, was sworn tc
by William E. Foster of the H. O.
L. c., Arthur j. Sherwin Of the real
CSGdtC IuIIl VI II. L. 1tuot O. w. AllO
Pvt. H. E. Watson of the eighth pre-
cinct. In this statement the address
Of the house which Fletcher Is al
legged to have entered to prevent
foreclosure by the H. o. L. c. was
given twice as 3l42 Military road,
while the actual address was 1872
Military road.
At the time Defense Counsel James
J. O'Leary charged the error directly
to the Police Court branch of the
district attorneys Office. It was
pointed out today. however, that all
warrants are made out from informa-
ton furnished by investigator COM
plainants or police, hence the prose-
cutors were blameless.
1t is charged by the Government
that Fletcher secured a quit claim
deed to the property from Edna L.
McCutchen after the H. o. L. c. had
instituted foreclosure proceedings and
had spent $500 on reconditioning
Fletcher is attacking the validity
of the Home Owners Loan Corp,
claiming it has never been incorpo-
rated. His counsel will attack the
validity Of the second warrant, which
differs from the first only as to
address. on the grounds that 1t places
his client IN double jeopardy.
