Corrects Statement
Before Dies Committee

Bishop Francis j. Mcconnell. on
behalf OF the Spanish Refugee Relief
Campaign, issued a statement yes
terday to correct certain statements
made before the Dies Committee
which have by some people been
interpreted as rejecting adversely
on the character and work" of the
committee.
He explained:
THE Spanish Refugee Relief Cam
paign is an independent organiza-
'tion with no organizational afflli-
ates, political or otherwise, its work
being directed by an Executive
Board of 20 members representing
varied viewpoints, professions and
interests. Neither directly nor indi-
rectly do the individual members of
this board represent any organiza-
tlon or group, save only that broad
and large group of Americans who
wish to relieve the tragic situation
of the Spanish refugees.
"The organization has no political
interests, domestic or international
and engages in no activities whatso-
ever save those directly related to
aiding the Spanish refugees. 1t is
registered with the State Depart
ment under the provisions of the
neutrality law and all receipts and
expenditures are reported each
month to the State Department.
so far from there being any
basis for objection on the part of
any American to the program and
activities Of the organization, there
exists the widest agreement that it
Is doing an indispensable piece of
work and deserves the widest sup
port"

a fingerprint of any value in the whole room.

Bucks heart stood still for a moment
and then started hammering as Sonnenberg
reached in his pocket. Had he forgotten
something; done something that would enable
them to hang the murder on him?
The detective pulled out wadded bit oil
white tissue. and spread it carefully over his
fat knee.
Whoever did the killing" he said gently,

was overturned on the desk. He wiped his
hands on this piece of tissue"

Sonnenberg shrugged I'm not here to

paint on your hands. Clirton?"
Yes. plenty of them. But -
"Sh-h-h!" smiled the detective Don't get
excited. That's the way people are sometimes
hung, or electrocuted, on circumstantial
evidence. Crawford how about youo"
Buck held out his hands, Somehow, he was
getting a swell break. The dick was going to
pin it on Clint or Hal, and both of them we're
right in line for it.
Sorry" he grinned. Nothing there -
except some iodine, and that's brown"
The detective nodded, and rose from his
comfortable chair regretfully.
Funny thing, iodine" he commented. Il

Slowly. as though moved by the same set of
muscles the heads of Clint and Hal turned
toward Buck.
He was hardly aware of their condemning

Lexington Motor Co.
Shows 1910 Plymouth

The Lexington Motor Co. had the
1910 Plymouth automobiles on display
Friday. September Is and a large crowd
of interested spectators visited the show
room all day inspecting the new models.
Plymouth this year has continued to
set many precedents in the. motor world.
As luxury car at low price the car
contains many new and interesting fea-
lures. Doors are wider and full bottom
width to allow easy entrance and exit.
The tenders are the same basic design,
front and rear carrying out pleasing
contours with an impression of the
strength they carry also. The new
Sealed-Beam headlights with inset
parking lights are more than beauty
feature for they carry so to go per cent
brighter road lighting and are longer
lived than former type lamps. Wind
shields are wider for more vision. inside
interiors are improved further for COM
fort and beauty, with perfected all
weather heating and venelation, and
the mechanical improvements are car
ried out also in the car for greater driv-
ing comfort and economies of opera
tion. Plymouth has always been lead
er in the "all three" low priced cars and
is most like the higher-priced cars, they
claim, when it comes to features to be
found.
Buyers who make these comparisons
will find the excellent engineering, pre-
cision of manufacture as formerly ap-
Piled to the high priced lines. W. O.
| Carter of the local firm, was delighted
with the response given the showing and
many prsapects we're interviewed at
