Of Life, Is Enjoying First Playmate; ‘Washington, Nov. 9.—(P)—A ‘wan, little 13 year old girl has the first playmate she can remember, with toys and plenty to eat. She is Edith Riley, whose par- ents are charged with imprisoning her in a windowless closet for al- most the last quarter of her life. Now she is in the children’s ward of a municipal hospital. A red-headed fellow-patient is the first ‘playmate she recalls hay- ing, she shyly informs a question- er.

STOCK MARKET ALSO SHOWS STRENGTH AS BULLS TAKE CHARGE Gains Are scored in the Face of Heavy Profit-Taking on Major Exchange WAR RUMORS AID WHEAT Reports That Strife Appears Certain in Orient Lends Bulls Enthusiasm Refusing to yield in- the face of profit-taking, grain prices scored new advances Monday and the New York Stock market aiso was in control of the bulls as renewed hope for pros- Perity ruled the nation’s important financial and commodity centers. New war rumors from the Orient’ sent grain bouncing back from an! garly wave of profit-taking. Reports that China had declared war on Japan revived the bullish en- thusiasm and wheat and corn futures overcame early losses of about two cents and soared quickly above the! closing prices of Saturday. December wheat, quoted as low as 65 cents a bushel early in the session, was bid up to 67s on the bulge, %% cent above Saturday’s closing figures. Heavy frost in Argentina also en- couraged buyers, offsetting reported heavy sales of Australian wheat. Corn and oats followed wheat on the recovery. Rye was strong from the start of the market, setting new high prices for the season on each advance. The stock market faltered for a time during the morning, as the rails backed up about $1 to $3 a share, but fresh buying. soon appeared and rails rebounded swiftly after utilities, steels and chemicals had raced upward. Ad- vances of $1 to $3 over Saturday's final levels were numerous by early’ afternoon. Trading progressed at a feverish pace, virtually maintaining Saturday's stride. It was one of the busiest days Bulls were again cheered by the manner in which the wheat market was able to absorb a large volume of profjt-taking, and a rally in cotton, in the face of an increased govern- ment crop estimate. Rails were actively bought on the rebound. American Telephone sold ni was a coin. The boy who “shinnied” to the top was given the coin . My friends were more successful than I and father was @ little disappointed. One day he rubbed something on the knees of my short pants to cause a friction on the pole. I reached the top easily after that and was a regular winner. When I was old enough to go to school in Metuchen, N. J., father walked to the schoolhouse with me every day and called for me at the end of the session. After school, we anxiously awaited father’s homecoming for he always brought us something. Usually it was an alarm clock—he used to buy them in half dozen lots—or a steam engine which ran by an alcohol flame, we'd take the clocks apart, with father supervising. Main Spring Was Unruly He was proud of us until the main spring went flying across the room and broke several articles on a table. ‘When the act was repeated I noticed, father did not bring home alarm clocks again. While father was interested in the physical well-being of young folks, he paid little attention to himself, as is well known. In fact he abused himself physically. Nourishment and sleep were secondary. Many a morn- ing I arrived at the laboratory and found him, after being up all night, eating a large pie and drinking milk for his breakfast. Father always had a field day for his employes here. He never missed one that I can recall. He was inter- ested in sports, although he seldom Participated in any. I loved my father as the dearest and most God-like parent a man could have; as a genius with the world sharing my pride. Father will ever live in the light of the world, but to me he will live as a boy filled with boyish pranks, a devoted father over- eres with ideals of sacred home life. Will Drop Charge Against Ray Woman Williston, N. D., Nov. 9.—()—Dis- missal of a first degree manslaughter charge against Mrs. Gunda Hutton of Ray, a nurse, is contemplated by State's Attorney A. J. Gronna during the November term of district court wheih opens here Monday. The charges against the woman grew out of the death of Hazel Her- riott, 22, Watford City, which a cor- oner’s jury found was due, to an al- leged illegal operation. The jury did not fix responsibility. New evidence developed following Mrs. Hutton’s arrest has materially weakened the state's case, the state’s SAY WOMAN JUROR HAD EXPECTED CAL Witnesses Testify Mrs. Clark "Knew She Would Be Asked to Serve Minneapolis, Nov. 9.—(P)—Testi- mony that Mrs. Genevieve A.

He has no sympathy, however, he said, witn the attack President William H. Gardiner of the Navy league made on the president’s navy policies. James passed through with a party on its way to Bierber, Calif., where Tuesday they will take part in a ceremony linking the Great North- ern and Western Pacific railroads. Commenting on a dispatch saying, the committee named by President Hoover to investigate the controversy between Gardiner and the president is prepared to make an early report, James said he did not see how an intelligent report could be turned out in such a short time. “I can anticipate what the report will be—that it will be favorable to the president, in view of the person- nel of the committee,” he said.
