Helen Eustis. This one is on the
psychological side with bow to
the stream of conscious technique.
The author, in my opinion, vio-
lated q fundamental rule. She
didn't play fair. 1t is all very
llAand, indeed, part of the
game-to try to throw the read
ers off the scent. It IS not fair,
however, to use specific Identify
ing detail of the murderer which
rules out half the suspects and
then employ a devious trick Of
abnormal psychology late in the
game to make the guilty one
eligible for consideration as the
killer. t.-
At the opposite extreme, in
point Of fairness, is Edmund
Crispin. Two-thirds of the way
through Holy Disorders" Mr..
Crispin has his detective, Gervase
Fen, write out timetable show
ing what each Of the possible
suspects was doing at the crucial
time: At the same time, he lists
all the clues. At that point, Fen
says he knows the answer. If
the reader was as clever as Mr..
Crispin or his Prof. Fen, he
would have it, too. Everything is
there that needs to be there to
solve the crime. Ultimately.
Prof. Fen illustrates why the
time table and the few clues
were all he needed to solve the
crime. He played completely
fair and managed to be COM
pletely baffiing-at least he did
to me. .----..
"Holy Disorders" ranks among
the best of the year for other
reasons. Mr.. Crispin, who wrote
the earlier "Obsequies at oxford"
leavens horror with humor, Gre
ates full-blown characters and
boasts a detective with person.

RICHWOOD'S PROGRAM THIS YEAR BEST

AS long as fairs are held-and
no one in his right mind can con-
ceive of a time when there will
be no such thing-harness racing

ception.

there have been lining up horses

Ousted as Chairman.
His sensational career as lawyer
soldier and industrial leader reached
all anticlimax for Col Stewart in
March, 1929, with his defeat by
John D. Rockefeller, jr., in a men,
orable vote battle for control of the
billion-dollar Standard Oil Co. of
Indiana.
At that time, though 62 years old,
Col. Stewart was still considered
physically and mentally in the prime
of vigorous life, and his custer as
chairman of the oil company's board
of directors admittedly was through
no failure in his decade of aggres-
sive administration of that COM
pany's affairs.
Mr.. Rockefeller's fight for Col.
Stewards removal grew out of a
Senate investigation in 1928 of the
Teapot Dome and other oil lease
scandals. Col. Stewards testimony
resulted in his being tried twice in
District Court in Washington, first
for contempt and subsequently for
perjury, and although he was ac-
quilted in each case, Mr. Rockefeller
demanded his resignation.
He refused and the annual elec-
ton of company directors in the
spring of 1929 was preceded by an
unprecedented battle of several
months between Col. Stewart and
Mr.. Rockefeller for control of the
proxies of the $4,000 stockholders.
A large majority of individual stock
holders remained loyal to Col
Stewart, but Mr.. Rockefeller gained
control of many large blocks of
stock held by Eastern capital and
achieved Stewart's custer.
Friends Found Irony.
Known to his associates as a pio-
neer in placing the inner workings
of big business in the foodlight of
publicity" Col. Stewart from the
start of his career espoused a
straightforward" attitude of execu-
tives toward the public and en-
ployes.
His friends and admirers found
bitter irony in the fact that this
champion of open dealing In big af-
fairs should see his career checked
as the result of one secret transac-
tion from which, he always insisted
he, "had received no personal profit.

Tim MeCoy's Marriage

and Immediately sold it at SITS per
barrel to companies represented by
Harry F. Sinclair, Col. Stewart,
Henry Blackmer and j. E. O'Neil.
These four men were personal
guarantors OF the Continental" and
the deal netted them 5000, 900,
which eventually was turned over to
their companies. The deal itself
was not believed by senatorial in
vestigators to have been fraudulent,
but it came to public notice when
some of the Liberty bonds repre-
senting Sinclair's profits were found
| in the possession of Albert E. Fall
who, as Secretary of the Interior,
leased Federal oil lands to private
corporations.
1t was the Senate committees at
tempt to trace the disposition Of
Col. Stewards share that led to his
trials for contempt and perjury and
thus to Mr.. Rockefeller's demand for
his resignation.
Rose to Power Rapidly.
Col. Stewards rise to a place of
power in the industrial world was
rapid and virtually devoid of set
backs. Born March II, 1857, on a
farm near Cedar Rapids, he. was
graduated from Coe college of that
Icity in 1886 and two years later
from the Yale Law School, with
high honors.
Immediately he struck out for
virgin territory. locating in Pierre,
S. Oak. and quickly earned repu-
Itation as a leading attorney OF the
then young Northwest. This repu-
Itation was enhanced by commissions
to represent Standard Oil. Interna-
tional Harvester and the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad in va
Irious litigations in that region.
He served as major with Theo-
dore Roosevelt's Rough Riders" in
the Spanish American War. On
return from the war he organized
the National Guard OF South Da-
kota and held the rank of colonel
in active command for eight years.
After he had spent two years at
Huron, S. OAK, as attorney for the
Northwestern Railroad, Standard
Oil Of Indiana called him to Chi
cago in 1907 to become its attorney
general. In 1941 he was elevated
to the post of general counsel and
a year later was made a member of
the board of directors.
During these years Col. Stewart
had had much to do with shaping
the company's expansion policies
and thus when the post of chair
man of the board was created in
1918 he was chosen.
Col. Stewart was married twice,
first to Josephine Giffen of Cedar
Rapids. They had two sons, Robert
Giffen and James Wright. Donald
william and John Elliott Stewart
were born to his second wife, Maude
Bradley Elliott of Aberdeen, S. OAK,
whom he married in July, 1906.
