The court ordered a mistrial, and the charges were investigated by @ grand jury. ae In the course of that investigation, the de- tective agency charged with “shadowing” jur- ors countered with an affidavit alleging the government had tried to tamper with the jury. The agency insisted it was merely trying to prevent such “illegality.” The reports of “Operative L-36” were the basis of the agency’s charges aimed, apparent ly, at Assistant Attorney General Lamb. Now comes one William J. McMullin, averring that he is “L-36” and that the affidavit and the re- ports upon which it was based are false. For a week “L-36” says he has been working with the government while ostensibly still an opera- tive for the detective agency. He insists that he signed the affidavit, denounced by him as false, because he was ordered te sign jt by agency men. | BRS The more this Fall-Sinclair mess is stirred the worse it smells. There were predictions when the mistrial came that a new scandal uglier even than the original oil cases would result. ‘Those predictions seem about to be verified, ee oe ‘ All Too Lovely The news that six little American girls and boys have sent sweet letters and gifts of Amer- ican paints, brushes and pencils and a little artist’s blouse to King Michael of Rumania, is most touching. One of the little girls wrote that she had seen a picture of “Mickey” and that he looked so nice, “I should like to have you as my boy playmate.” : It’s all too lovely. The little boys and girls of the world haven’t become so sugary as all that all at once, surely. Indeed, we sincerely hope not. We had thought Little Lord Faunt- leroy dead and buried these many years, and here he is mincing about again, with his sissy curls and lily white hands. We hope the boy-king Michael understands. Pray let him not think for a minute that “little playmates” on this side of the water are all clean-eared little dolls. Let him not think he could twist any pigtails or break up any mar- } ble games in this country and not go home without a black eye or a bloody nose. There is just a chance that King Michael might not understand. We only hope the same parents who inspired those missives to King Michael are as ready to let their boys and girls help the “little play- mates” at: home who are far more in need of sympathy than King Michael, far more in n of alittle brotherly .and sisterly smile, | children who never have seen a plaything, crippled boys and girls, the children of the poor, the children who have to help dig and NORTH DAKOTA BIRD NOTES By O.

Re- publican nomination is in mind. This is a somewhat unusual opportunity for dark horses, particularly in the Republican camp. The entry list is wide open, and if Pres- ident Coolidge definitely will not accept a re- nomination the chances of a dark horse are better than usual. And even if there may be a possibility of drafting the president for an- other running, by virtue of a last-minute emer- gency, the dark horses will all have an oppor- tunity to come out before the emergency can General Pershing’s candidacy was suggested in 1920, but it did not get far. It is not at all unlikely that, if circumstances were to develop in which the dark horses of the field were to stronger today than in 1920, when the war was just over and his military achievements were in every mind. A woman is someone who pays just enough for a purse, with incidental beadwork, gold mountings, mirrors, and so forth, so that she will have nothing left to put into it.

Jeffers was he had baptized in the early days of his min- istry. A young friend, who had courted Miss Betsy without success, asked the parson to aid him with his eloquence. Camm, accordingly, called upon the lady and, among other authori- ties, quoted the Scriptures as enjoining matri- mony as one of the duties of life. His persua- sions had no effect. Finally, however, Miss Betsy told the par- son that if he would go home and read II Sam- uel 12:7 he would learn the reason for her re- fusal. Upon reaching his home and searching the Scriptures he found these words staring him in the face: “And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man.” The marriage of Miss Bet- sy Hansford to the Reverend John Camm was announced soon afterwards. ‘When a Comma Counts (Seattle Business Chronicle) Editors should be careful of punctuation, re- marks Commerce and Finance, after present- ing as the text for a paragraph this sentence: Woman, without her man, would be a savage. The statement is open to debate. There are those women who are better off with a man looking after them or for them to look after; there are maiden aunts, and lady school-teach- ers; there are busy women intent on the social uplift; there are rich and idle women; and there are those women usually unmarried, who achieve their greatest fling telling a congress of mothers how to raise children. But those women are not savage; not all of them. Getting back to the text, here is what the writer intended to say: Woman! , Without her, man would be a savage.

Her name is Ruth Finney and she is correspondent for the San Francisco News and other Scripps-Howard newspapers over the country. Miss Finney found herself in the news last month when the Fall- Sinclair oil trial opened and defense attorneys asked | alg oneal jurors whether or not they had read any of her stories in the case. Miss Fin- ney has a faculty of putting known facts together and letting them draw their owr conclusions. The Fall-Sinclair lawyers didn’t want anyone on the jury who might have been impressed by her articles. She is reputed to know as much or more about the oil cases than any newspaper man in Washi in. After a mistrial had been di and an investigation begun, William Burns indulged in some fancy | ¢j cussing during an interview with newspaj reporters outside the grand jury room and Miss Finney made careful note of the fact in her next day’s story, much to the open disgust of a person named Burns. eee Miss Finney’s fame has spread so far that the other day she blossomed out as a public speaker on invita- tion of Ohio Newspaper Wom- en’s association, meeting in Toledo. She talked about newspaper work for women in Was! and else- where, with feminist touches. “There were women ih the press gallery years before the civil war,” she said. “Political newspaper work is easier for women in Washington than anywhere else.
