She said: “If it was Lov- schiem, I'll kill him, and he knows it” and that girl talked and talked, and I was tired, and you heard me take & long breath and—” I cut into her swift, confused ex, i planations.

When Mrs. Byng opened the door, I simply thrust the girl inside. I said: “] can’t explain. Keep this girl here, Don’t let her call anyone. Do you know how to shoot?” Mrs. Byng was superb. She lifted her nose, gave a delighted sniff, and said: “Give me the gun.” I ran through the corridors, hop- ing at every turn for the sight of a gendarme. There was none, Then I was at the door of the White Salon. I laid a cautious hand on the knob, and holding my re volver before me tried to peer into the darkness of the room, There was no sound, and it was entirely black. I went to the fireplace.

I put her in a chair—she was trembling with cold and with the reaction of released terror.

This budget calls for some forty million dollars. Mormon church was received with more than casual interest by Wash- j ington pelitical observers. It may possibly mean a clarifica- tien of the senatorial situation in Utah at the next election. Utah's senior senator, William H. King, serving his third term, faces an election next year. Clark ran against King the last time, coming up from Mexico City, inci- dentially, to do so. Whether Clark has removed himself definitely from ,the politi- cal scene in Utah remains to be seen. His new position, next: to the presidency of the Mormon church, is one of the two highest ranking offices in it. However, former Senator Smoot of Utah was the ranking member of the “quorum of 12” of that same church while he was in the senate—in. line for the church presidency itself. A Record of Success Were the complexion of polities to change in Utah before next year Clark might stand in a good posi- tion to run against King again. His record as ambassador to Mexico, where he went as succes- sor to the late Dwight Morrow, was rated highly successful. Not a great deal was heard about him in Mexico City, but that, accord- ing to the diplomatic way of judg- ing things, might be regarded as| The market for sugar has been just another way of saying that he was doing a good job all the while, At any rate, when he left His post at the close of the Hoover ad- ministration the president said of him: “Never have our relations (with Mexico) been lifted to such a high point of confidence and co-opera- tion, and there is no more im- portant service jin the whole for- eign relations of the United States than this.” * Behind The Scenes Clark carried on at Mexico City the remarkable work that Dwight Morrow had done. Actually there are those at the state department in Washington who will tell you that Clark had much to do with Jthe success of Morrow’s policy in ! Mexico. He had an important part in shaping Morrow’s policy at any rate. And until Morrow left Mex- ico City to enter the senate Clark was the ambassador's right hand man in much of the most difficult negotiations over counter claims growing out of the long Mexican revolutionary cycle.
