GIRAFFE HAIR BRACELET TO GO TO WINNER OF NAME CQNTEST: Mann Will Present African Witch Doctor's Charm to Mildred Smith—Second Little Mildred Smith of Edgemoor, Md., winner of The Evening iStar’s first giraffe contest, will receive, in addition to all the other rewards, a bracelet made in Africa by a native witch doctor from the tail hairs of a glraffe. This will be the personal gift of Dr. Willlam M. Mann, superintend- ent of the Zoo, and he produced the valued trophy from his baggage as soon as he heard of the giraffe-nam- ing contest. In Africa giraffe-hair bracelets are “powerful medicine.” They are not alone good luck tokens, but a cure for almost all the ills to which the human body is heir. But in America the bracelet remains a good luck to- ken and Dr. Mann wishes that it will bring the very best of luck to Mildred all the days of her life. Second Contest 1s Keener. The contest for naming the girl giraffe is attracting even more atten- tion among the children of Washing- ton and the suburbs than ever was given to the naming of Hi-Boy. There were nearly 200 letters in the giraffe editor's mail box today and more com- ing in with every mail. Most of the suggestions are accom- panied by verses—some of them very good. This, however, is by no means necessary. The selection will be made on the appropriateness of the name as the first consideration and the ex- planation given as the second con- sideration. The favorite name among the chil- dren seems to he Hi Girl. Every other letter opened has that among its suggestions. Mrs. Hi Boy also is proving popular. Among the most striking replies received today was that from Charles Eslin, 10 years old, 645 Orleans place northeast. This consisted of a crayon drawing of Hi-Boy and his mate standing together. The detail and proportions are very good. The name suggestion was Her Highness. Drawings Accompany Letters. Many other children have sent in drawings with their letters. These al- ways are welcome and will be given due consideration in deciding upon the winner. £ b Margaret Ellen Goldenweiser, 9 vears old, 218 Elm street, Chevy “hase, sends this little verse: “We'll_call her Bo-Peep Because she can keep Her eve on her beau Where'er he may go. “And if Hi-Boy and Bo Have made it a go, She can alwava see all Because she's so tall.” Kathryn Murphy. 12 vears old. 2529 Eleventh street, wants the giraffe called Queen Pal, and sends this verse: “The giraffe is so very tall That when it's dinner time, She picks the fruit right off the trees And doesn’t have to climb.

A four-hour fire last night, resist- ing the combined efforts of half a dozen fire companies, destroyed $200,. 000 worth of machinery and yards of the West Brothers Brick Co., on the Barcroft pike, Relee, Va. Orders to hold up all shipments be- cause the plant was a total loss were wired to the two coal companies that | supply the Kilns with fuel. Officials | of ‘the brick'company estimated that six months would required to repair the damage, and that at least 100 men ‘would be thrown out of work. Fire Spread Rapidly. The fire was discovered about 1:30 o'clock this morning by members of the night kiln shift in the machine ‘Ihop. which was closed for the night. ‘The alarm had to be telephoned from | the neighboring post office because the brick company's office also was elosed. The fire had gained such head way by the time outlying fire com- panies had responded that efforts to save the clay-grinding and brick: c ing machinery, drier sheds and four kiln roofs were usel District company No. 13 and Jeffer- son, F Arlington, Clarendon, - rydale, Ballston and Potomac volun- teer fire departments arrived on the scene within half an hour, but were | forced to direct their efforts in pre- | venting the flames from spreading to | buildings as yet untouched on the two- |acre property. Water was pumped | from the reservoir of the Capitol Re- [ fining Co. across the road. Wind Fans Flames. | A brisk northwest wind fanned the ry wooden structures into a seething inferno.” The sky was lit up for miles around. Heavy timbers supporting the roofs crashed right and left, tear- | ing machinery from its foundations and smashing the 'brick ovens. A tangled mass of wreckage is about all that is left. Even the sand cars are twisted, and the electrical equipment is a molten, shapeless mass. The main power switch had been |shut off and the dinkey engine had | been run out of the dumping shed be- | fore nightfall. It is believed, ther |fore, that the fire was caused by de- | fective wiring in the electric light cir- |cuit. The two brick pressers, which turned out 175.000 bricks daily, and all the machinery patterns were de- stroyed. When the present supply of bricks in the undamaged drlers and in the burning kilns is exhausted, the com- pany will have to suspend operations. A large part of the loss is covered by insurance. | —e e | Frances Glover, Park | Hotel—Tanna. | _ Leila E.

By the Ascociated Press, INDIANAPOLIS, October 28—An other sensation involving D. C. Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan and political pover in Indiana, was promised. John H. Kiplinger, attorney, who vesterday filed an appeal with the Indiana Supreme Court for Stephen- son, who is serving a life term for murder; said developments would arise in the case which would be of a start- Iing nature. They will revolve around that part of the assignment of errors in which the jurisdiction of the trial court was attacked, Kiplinger assert- ed. He declined to amplify his state- ment. Letters the former Klansman passed secretly to the outside world from prison in which he was purport- ed to have offered tb expose alleged political corruption in Indiana resuit- ed in the present investigation by the Marion County grand jury and were instrumental in Senator James A. Reed’s senatorial campaign fund com- mittee taking a hand. The appeal to the Supreme Court in Stephenson’s behalf, in addition to attacking the jurisdiction of the Hamilton Circuit Court, where the trial was held, also maintained the indictment was returned on hearsa evidence. Another contention wa that Will M. Sharks, trial judge, erred in overruling a motion to set aside the submission of evidence and discharge the jury because of comments he had made during the trial. Stephenson was convicted of second- degree murder in connection with the death of Madge Oberholjzer, an Indianapolis girl. ‘ The county grand jury continued its investigation today MARIE’S RECEPTION IN AMERICA GRATIFIES RUMANIAN NATION __(Continued from First Page) there was just sufficient time to ar- rive in Ottawa on schedule. Since the transcontinental journey began in New York last Monday aboard the Royal Rumanian, as the train is known, the Queen has trav- eled more than 1,300 miles. A speed- ometer on board at times shows that a speed of nearly 70 miles has been attained to keep the train on sched- ule time. Prince Nicolas, during the eight ars he has served in the Rumanian av has lost his taste for official functions. He declares the sight of the silk hat and of formal attire dis- pleases him. It was for this reason that in Montreal he cut his way out of the royal procession to the city hall and made for the railway shops and yards for an inspection of them. Prince Escapes Function. The prince was 80 interested in what he saw that he evidently forgot all about the efvic luncheon. Queen Marie and Princess Ileana attended this function, but Nicolas, with a few friends, went to the St. James' Club, where his kinsmen, the Prince of Wales, King FEdward and King George, have enjoyed repasts, and had a leisurely meal. - After his period of A. W. O. L. had ended the truant prince returned to his mother and sister and partici- puted in the afternoon’s official honors.

Not Clear on Opinions. “I can't answer for the rest of them, but I was for Orbison.” “What did the rest of them say?” “I think they were for Judge Or- bison.” “Did you understand they went to Washington on the appointment of Judge Orbison?” “T did not go with them, so I can't say -exactly what they went down there for.” Senator Reed at this point read the testimony of Bradford at Kansas City that Senator Watson had participated in a conference of Klan officials at Washington, resulting in the resigna- tion of Bossert. Bossert_said he did not follow the Indiana Klan officers to Washington, explaining that he got the same traip on which Mayor Duvall made the trip. “The mayor of Evansville and Joe Huffington came on the next t-ain,” he added. “Do yvou know why a_mayor of Indianapolis went to Washington about the appomtment ‘of ‘his own corporation cotmsel?” Sénator Reed asked. “I don't know.” The witness said he probably talked about Orbison's appointment with Dr. lvans, but he was certain he had talked with “my good friend Jum- brunn.” “Did you understand that any of the Klan officers were to consult with the two Indiana Senators about Or- bison's appointmént?” Describes District Meeting. “I can't recall that they did.” Bossert teatified that he also met W. Lee Smith, Huffington and a news- paper man named Sandera of Indian- apolis at \Washington after the first conference regarding Orbison. “I met them around Klan head- quarters,” he added. “Who else was there?” “Dr. Evans and Mr. Zumbrunn and some others—I really can't recall all.” “That was when you resigned? Tt has heen stated in teatimony here that tlhere was a row about your resigna- tion.” “As T told you at Chicago,” Bossert said, “Dr. Evans asked me if I was ready to resign and I told him I was.” Bossert conceded that Smith, San- ders and Huffington were around Klan headquarters the day he re- signed, but insisted they were not present with him when his resigna- tion was handed in. The former grand dragon again seemed to be a reluctant witness and Senator Reed pressed him vigorously. Reed Hammers Table. “You are a lawyer and know how t6 answer questions and I want vou to answer them.” the Missouri Sena- tor finally said, hammering the table with his fist. Bossert insisted he was answering as best he could. but Senator Reed said that could not be put eover on him. “I've examined witnesses for 40 yvears,” the Missourian said, “and it is harder to get you to answer than any man 1 ever saw.” Thank you for the compliment,” Bossert replied. “That’ is not a compliment and is not intended as one,” Reed retorted. Bossert finally said_he resigned as grand dragon of the Klan because the order was abandoning its principle and starting a fight for individuals. He added that Zumbrunn had initiated this change of pol “Is William Zumbrunn the alter ego of Dr. Evans?’ Senator Reed asked. “I don't know about that, but he seemed to control the Klan's political policies.” , “In your case the individual to be supported was James 1. Watson."” “I wasn't favorable to Watson.” Zumbrunn for Watson. Now isn't it God Almighty truth, sworn to under oath, that you were | supposed to support any man through the Klan's influence?” “Yes, sir.” “And Zumbrunn wanted to throw ! the Klan to Watson?" “Yes, he was favorable to Watson.

Duvall said he went to Washing- ton at the request of Huffington, who called him on the telephone and told him that a party of Klan officials was going to Washington. Arizona Probe Ordered. Investigation of the senatorial cam- palgn in Arizona was ordered today by. Senator Reed.
