WING | PUjMTID ty»T W""1 M«V K I. MW^mA BEGIN HERE TODAY Calvin Gray rents the Governor’- suite in the Ajax, the men expen live hotel in Dallas. To the waite serving hie breakfast in his rooms Gray offers a liberal tip, but flndln, only small change In his pocket hi tells the waiter be must have beet robbed on the train. Gray calls oi the hotel manager, on the presiden of the largest bank and on thi mayor of Dallas. He phones a til to the leading newspaper, suggest ing an Interview with "Calvin Gray globe trotter, soldier of fortune financier." Thi city editor sends f reporter who interviews Gray in hi: expensive hotel suite. Now Go on With the Story He returned to his hotel tha afternoon pretty well satisfied wltl hie efforts and hopeful that some ol the seed he had sown broadcaei would be ripe for the reaping ere- long. But he received an electric shock as he approached the desk tor the bell captain addressed him saying: “Mr. Haviland wishes to see you t once. In his office.” There was a curious brightness tc the imposter's eyes, a reckless mocking smile upon his lips, when he stepped into the manager’s office. Haviland handed him a copy of the leading afternoon paper, and Gray’s eyes flashed to the headline of an article reading: JALVIN GRAY. HERO OF SENSA- TIONAL. EXPLOITS, IN DALLAS ADVENTURES READ LIKE PAGE OF ROMANCE FAMOUS FINANCIER ADMITS LARGE OIL INTERESTS BEHIND HIM From the opening paragraph Gray Judged that he had impressed the reporter even more deeply than he had supposed, but he took no satis- faction therefrom, for Haviland was ■laying: T “I’ve read the whole story, but I ■want you to tell me something more ♦bout yourself.” "What do you wish to know? "Were you In France?” Over the visitor’s face there came a subtle change. Whereas, upon entering, he had worn an expression of careless defiance, now he appear- ed to harden in every fiber and to go on guard. "I have been many times In France.” “I mean during the war. Did you ‘Serve ?’* There was a pause. “I did.” Gray’s eyes remained fixed upon his inter- rogator, but they had begun to Smolder. "Then you're Colonel Gray, "olonel Calvin Gray.” "Quite so." The speaker's voice was harsh, and it came with an sffort. "But you didn’t read that in ihe Post. Come! What’s the idea? Oht with it.” “Strange circles we move In, Haviland was saying. "Do you know who owns the controlling interest in this hotel? Surely you must know or can guess. Think a moment. It’s ; mmebody you met over there and oave reason to remember." A sound escaped from the throat of Colonel Gray—not a cry. but father a gasp of amazement, or of rage. “Aha:” Haviland grinned in tri- umph. "I thought—” His guest leaned forward over the desk, with face twitching. Pas- sion had driven the blood from It, and his whole expression was one of auch hatred, such fury, the meta- morphosis was so startling, that the hotel man stiffened in his chair and itared upward in sudden amaze- ment. "Nelson!” Grav ejaculated. "Nel- ?on! By God! So! He’s here!" Haviland stirred. "I don’t know what you’re talking about. Who’s Nelson?" After a second he ex- j claimed: “Good Lord! I thought I had a pleasant surprise for you, and j I was gracefully leading up to it. j but—I must have jazzed it all up. I was going to tell you that the hotel and everything in it is yours." “Eh?" "Why. the Ajax Is one of the Dietz chain! Herman Dietz of Cin- cinnati owns it. He left for the North not an hour ago. At the last; minute he heard you were here— read this story in the paper—and i had bellboys scouring the place for yon." Colonel Gray uttered another ex- j clamatton, this time an expletive of j deep relief. He fought with hit iself a moment, then murmured an apol- ogy. "Sorry. You gave me a siart —decidedly. Herman Dietz, eh? Well, well! You made me think for a moment that I was a guest in the house of some other—friend." "Friend?” "Exactly!" Gray was himself again now. He ran a loosening finger between his collar and throat. "Quite a start, I’ll admit, but—some of my friends are great practical jokers. They have a way of jumping SCRANTON LADY TELLS HOW SHE GAINED HEALTH Mrs. Grpff Suffered From Stom- ] ach Trouble for Three Years Tanlac Brought Relief. “It certainly is wonderful to feel so well after sufferirg eo long, and I will never again be without TANLAC, the medicine that has made such a great change In me,” la the enthusiastic statement of Mrs. Edward 8. Groff, 232 North Ninth 5t„ Scranton, Pa. "Stomach trouble was the bane of my life for three years. It almost wrecked my nerves, robbed me of sleep and kept me feeling miser- ably weak and discouraged, and I dread to think how I suffered from those awful gas pains, dizzy spells j and headaches. “TANLAC has given me such a splendid appetite and digestion that I eat Just everything without the least distress. I sleep as if I hadn’t any nerves, enjoy the best of health, and have gained fifteen pounds. TANLAC has my deepest gratitude.” WhJ&AC Is for sale by all good druggists. Accept no substitute. Over 40 million bottles sold.-r-Adv. f out at me ami crying Boo: wnen i least expect it.” "Um-m! I see. Mr. Dietz told me that ho was under lifelong obliga- j tion to a certain Colonel Calvin [ Gray. Something to do with pass- i ports—” "I once rendered him a slight fa- vor." “He doesn't regard the favor as ‘slight.’ He was about to be Im- prisoned for the duration of the war and you managed to get him back home.” "Merely a matter of official rou- tine. I felt sure he was a loyal American citizen." "Exactly. But he makes more of I the incident than you do, and he 1 gave me my instructions. So—what can I do for you in his behalf? You ! have only to ask." Gray pondered the unexpected offer. He was still a bit shaken, for a moment ago he had been more deeply stirred even than Haviland suspected, and the emotional reac- tion had left him weak. "Well, name your poison! Isn’t there something, anything we can do for you?” Haviland repeated. "There is, decidedly." Gray smiled his warm appreciation of the tender. ’’If it is not too great a drain upon the Dietz millions, you may keep a supply of cut flowers in my room. I'm passionately fond of roses, and I should like to have my vases filled every morning.” “You shall dwell in a perfumed bridal bower.” That evening when Calvin Gray, formally and faultlessly attired, strolled into the Ajax dining room he was conscious of attracting no little attention. For one thing, few of the other guests were in evening dress, and also that article in the Post, which he had read with a curiously detached amusement, had been of a nature to excite general notice. Its first results were prompt in coming. Even while the head waiter was seating him, another diner arose and approached him with a smile. Gray recognized the fellow instantly—one of that vast army of casuals that march through every active man’s life and disap- pear down the avenues of forgetful- ness. After customary greetings had been exchanged, the newcomer, Cov- erly by name, explained that he had read the Post article not five min- utes before, and was delighted to learn how well the world had used Gray. He was dining alone: with alacrity he accepted an invitation to Join his old friend, and straightway he launched himself upon the cur- rent of reminiscence. In answer to Gray's inquiry, he confessed modest- ly enough: "I’m the V. P. of our biggest jewelry house, and business is great." After their order had been given, he recited in greater detail the nature of his success. Gray was interested. "Texas is booming." he said, at the conclusion of the story. "I’m told the new oil towns are something like our' old mining camps." “Except that they are more so. The same excitement, the same quick fortunes, only quicker and larger. Believe me. It’s fine for the jewelry business. Book here." Cov- erly drew from his pocket a letter written In a painfully cramped hand upon cheap note paper, and this he spread out for his companion to read. "There's an example in < point." The letter, which bore the Ranger postmark, ran as follows: DERE SIR—your store has bin : rekomend to me for dimons rnd I want some for my wife and dauter. 1 Send me prises on rings of large sises. Yours truley GUS BRISKOW. 1 "Um-m! Who is Mr. Briskow?” Coverly shrugged. ‘'Probably some J nester who never saw a hundred dollars all in one place until recent- ly.” 1 “In Heaven’s name, introduce me to the opulent Gus Briskow.” "I wish I might. But I don’t ex- pect to make his acquaintance. The head of our firm Is away and I 1 haven’t a man I’d dare trust to send out into the field.” Coverly sighed i regretfully. "Tough luck! Too bad you're not a good Jewelry sales- man?” "I am.” Gray declared. "I can sell anything. As for diamonds— I've bought enough in my time to know their val te.” Coverly laughed in read agree- ment with this statement. "Gad!" I’m sore at missing this sale." "I’m not joking. If it's worth while, pack up your saffron soli- | taires—all that you dar., trust me with—and I’ll be your gentlemanly representative." "Worth while? Good Lord! I’d probably get a ten-thousand-dollar order!” "Very well. It’s settled.” Gray's decision had been quickly made.

But—’* “I'm going to visit that field, any- how. This will give me an excuse." “Nonsense!” The jeweler did not like to have fun poked at him. For some time he refused to take the offer seriously, and even when his host insisted that he would ;joy the lark, he expostulated: “Why, the idea is ridiculous! You—Calvin Gray, the financier, peddling jewel- ry! Ha! Outside of the fact that you wouldn’t, couldn’t do it, it's not the safest thing in the world to carry a small fortune in stones through the oil fields.” "Of course you insure it against theft?” “That’s the point. We can’t. Have you ever heard of 'high-jackers'? That’s the Texas term for hold-up men, robbers. Well, the country is full of them."

U Vili NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, April 28.— Whether to fight, and, by fighting, | “straddle” on a patcjjed-up platform perhaps disrupt the party, or to compromise, and by compromising that threatens to collapse from the innate fllmslness of the materials used In Its construction—that Is a problem that Is giving Republican “leaders " who hope to have a de- termining voice In party parleys at Cleveland, many steepness nights. If lett to himself, President Coo- lidge would construct a platform which would at least be safe, and symmetrical. While conservative, It I would be logical and well balanced. But powerful elements within the I party, while acknowledging the nomination of Coolldge to succeed himself is Inevitable and necessary, do not concede It Is either wise or desirable to yield to him full au- thority in the shaping of party doc- trine at this time. To them, control of the machinery and policy of tho party Is more Important than any one victory, and rather than sur- render their grip on the power they now hold they would rather accept a temporary defeat at the polls. * Willingness to accept President Coolldge as platform writer as well as candidate has been seriously Inter- fered with by friction between White' House and senate. This may be fur- ther Intensified after the bonus and tax bills have received presidential attention, should he. as is considered by no means unlikely, veto them. Even the old guard group in the senate, backbone of the conserva- tism Coolldge exemplifies, does not relish the complacency with which he has walked away with the party as his own undisputed possession. With a mere “by your leave, he has proceeded about both the presi- dency and his candidacy for renomi- nation. The “leaders” have been left with 1 nothing to lead.

MANNING (Washington Corresjiondont of the Perth Amboy Evening News) WASHINGTON, April 28—The ® Navy Department today notified Congressman Elmer Geran, of Mata- wan, that it had ordered the dis- charge of Seaman Phillip Simplicio, son of Mrs. Frances Simplicio of Riverside Drive, Red Bank. The c order was based on evidence sub- I mitted by Mrs. Simplicio that her son was under age and was needed e in her support. s Young Simplicio attempted to en- g list In the navy last October, but as t he was but 17 years of age and could not obtain his mother’s consent c he was rejected. Later he enlisted 1 under the name of his brother, Go- a briele Lewis Simplicio aged 20 using his brother’s birth certificate. Mrs. 3 Simplicio, who is an invalid and J needs the aid of both of her sons In I her support, attempted through Con- gressman Geran to Secure his dis- a charge.

Calvin Gray rents the Governor’- suite in the Ajax, the men expen live hotel in Dallas. To the waite serving hie breakfast in his rooms

Gray offers a liberal tip, but flndln, only small change In his pocket hi tells the waiter be must have beet robbed on the train. Gray calls oi

the hotel manager, on the presiden of the largest bank and on thi mayor of Dallas. He phones a til to the leading newspaper, suggest ing an Interview with "Calvin Gray globe trotter, soldier of fortune financier." Thi city editor sends f

reporter who interviews Gray in hi: expensive hotel suite.

Now Go on With the Story He returned to his hotel tha

afternoon pretty well satisfied wltl hie efforts and hopeful that some ol

the seed he had sown broadcaei would be ripe for the reaping ere-

long. But he received an electric shock as he approached the desk tor the bell captain addressed him saying:

“Mr. Haviland wishes to see you • t once. In his office.”

There was a curious brightness tc

the imposter's eyes, a reckless mocking smile upon his lips, when he stepped into the manager’s office.

Haviland handed him a copy of the leading afternoon paper, and Gray’s eyes flashed to the headline of an article reading: JALVIN GRAY. HERO OF SENSA- TIONAL. EXPLOITS, IN DALLAS

ADVENTURES READ LIKE PAGE OF ROMANCE

FAMOUS FINANCIER ADMITS LARGE OIL INTERESTS

BEHIND HIM

From the opening paragraph Gray Judged that he had impressed the

reporter even more deeply than he had supposed, but he took no satis- faction therefrom, for Haviland was

■laying: T

“I’ve read the whole story, but I

■want you to tell me something more

♦bout yourself.” "What do you wish to know? "Were you In France?” Over the visitor’s face there came

a subtle change. Whereas, upon entering, he had worn an expression of careless defiance, now he appear- ed to harden in every fiber and to

go on guard. "I have been many times In

France.” “I mean during the war. Did you

‘Serve ?’* There was a pause. “I did.” Gray’s

eyes remained fixed upon his inter-

rogator, but they had begun to

Smolder. "Then you're Colonel Gray,

"olonel Calvin Gray.” "Quite so." The speaker's voice

was harsh, and it came with an

sffort. "But you didn’t read that in

ihe Post. Come! What’s the idea? Oht with it.”

“Strange circles we move In, Haviland was saying. "Do you know who owns the controlling interest in this hotel? Surely you must know or can guess. Think a moment. It’s ;

mmebody you met over there and

oave reason to remember." A sound escaped from the throat

of Colonel Gray—not a cry. but father a gasp of amazement, or of

rage. “Aha:” Haviland grinned in tri-

umph. "I thought—” His guest leaned forward over

the desk, with face twitching. Pas- sion had driven the blood from It, and his whole expression was one of auch hatred, such fury, the meta-

morphosis was so startling, that the hotel man stiffened in his chair and itared upward in sudden amaze-

ment. "Nelson!” Grav ejaculated. "Nel-

?on! By God! So! He’s here!" Haviland stirred. "I don’t know

what you’re talking about. Who’s Nelson?" After a second he ex- j claimed: “Good Lord! I thought I had a pleasant surprise for you, and j I was gracefully leading up to it. j but—I must have jazzed it all up. I was going to tell you that the hotel and everything in it is yours."

“Eh?" "Why. the Ajax Is one of the

Dietz chain! Herman Dietz of Cin- cinnati owns it. He left for the North not an hour ago. At the last; minute he heard you were here— read this story in the paper—and i had bellboys scouring the place for yon."

Colonel Gray uttered another ex- j clamatton, this time an expletive of j deep relief. He fought with hit iself a moment, then murmured an apol- ogy. "Sorry. You gave me a siart

—decidedly. Herman Dietz, eh? Well, well! You made me think for a moment that I was a guest in the house of some other—friend."

"Friend?” "Exactly!" Gray was himself

again now. He ran a loosening finger between his collar and throat. "Quite a start, I’ll admit, but—some of my friends are great practical jokers. They have a way of jumping

SCRANTON LADY TELLS HOW SHE GAINED HEALTH

Mrs. Grpff Suffered From Stom- ] ach Trouble for Three Years Tanlac Brought Relief.

“It certainly is wonderful to feel so well after sufferirg eo long, and I will never again be without TANLAC, the medicine that has made such a great change In me,” la the enthusiastic statement of Mrs.

Edward 8. Groff, 232 North Ninth 5t„ Scranton, Pa.

"Stomach trouble was the bane of my life for three years. It almost

wrecked my nerves, robbed me of sleep and kept me feeling miser- ably weak and discouraged, and I dread to think how I suffered from those awful gas pains, dizzy spells j and headaches.

“TANLAC has given me such a

splendid appetite and digestion that I eat Just everything without the least distress. I sleep as if I hadn’t any nerves, enjoy the best of health, and have gained fifteen pounds. TANLAC has my deepest gratitude.”

least expect it.” "Um-m! I see. Mr. Dietz told me

that ho was under lifelong obliga- j tion to a certain Colonel Calvin [ Gray. Something to do with pass- i ports—”

"I once rendered him a slight fa- vor."

“He doesn't regard the favor as

‘slight.’ He was about to be Im- prisoned for the duration of the war and you managed to get him back home.”

"Merely a matter of official rou- tine. I felt sure he was a loyal American citizen."

"Exactly. But he makes more of I the incident than you do, and he 1 gave me my instructions. So—what

can I do for you in his behalf? You ! have only to ask."

Gray pondered the unexpected offer. He was still a bit shaken, for a moment ago he had been more

deeply stirred even than Haviland suspected, and the emotional reac- tion had left him weak.

"Well, name your poison! Isn’t there something, anything we can do for you?” Haviland repeated.

"There is, decidedly." Gray smiled his warm appreciation of the tender. ’’If it is not too great a drain upon the Dietz millions, you may keep a

supply of cut flowers in my room. I'm passionately fond of roses, and I should like to have my vases filled every morning.”

“You shall dwell in a perfumed bridal bower.”

That evening when Calvin Gray, formally and faultlessly attired, strolled into the Ajax dining room he was conscious of attracting no little attention. For one thing, few of the other guests were in evening dress, and also that article in the Post, which he had read with a

curiously detached amusement, had been of a nature to excite general notice.

Its first results were prompt in coming. Even while the head waiter was seating him, another diner arose and approached him with a smile. Gray recognized the fellow instantly—one of that vast army of casuals that march through every active man’s life and disap- pear down the avenues of forgetful- ness.

After customary greetings had been exchanged, the newcomer, Cov- erly by name, explained that he had read the Post article not five min- utes before, and was delighted to learn how well the world had used Gray. He was dining alone: with alacrity he accepted an invitation to Join his old friend, and straightway he launched himself upon the cur- rent of reminiscence. In answer to Gray's inquiry, he confessed modest- ly enough:

"I’m the V. P. of our biggest jewelry house, and business is great." After their order had been given, he recited in greater detail the nature of his success.

Gray was interested. "Texas is booming." he said, at the conclusion of the story. "I’m told the new oil towns are something like our' old mining camps."

“Except that they are more so. The same excitement, the same quick fortunes, only quicker and larger. Believe me. It’s fine for the jewelry business. Book here." Cov- erly drew from his pocket a letter written In a painfully cramped hand upon cheap note paper, and this he spread out for his companion to read. "There's an example in <

point." The letter, which bore the Ranger

postmark, ran as follows: DERE SIR—your store has bin :

rekomend to me for dimons rnd I want some for my wife and dauter.

1

Send me prises on rings of large sises. Yours truley

GUS BRISKOW. 1

"Um-m! Who is Mr. Briskow?” Coverly shrugged. ‘'Probably some J

nester who never saw a hundred dollars all in one place until recent- ly.” 1

“In Heaven’s name, introduce me to the opulent Gus Briskow.”

"I wish I might. But I don’t ex- pect to make his acquaintance. The head of our firm Is away and I 1

haven’t a man I’d dare trust to send out into the field.” Coverly sighed i regretfully. "Tough luck! Too bad you're not a good Jewelry sales- man?”

"I am.” Gray declared. "I can sell anything. As for diamonds— I've bought enough in my time to know their val te.”

Coverly laughed in read agree- ment with this statement. "Gad!" I’m sore at missing this sale."

"I’m not joking. If it's worth while, pack up your saffron soli- | taires—all that you dar., trust me with—and I’ll be your gentlemanly representative."

"Worth while? Good Lord! I’d probably get a ten-thousand-dollar order!”

"Very well. It’s settled.” Gray's decision had been quickly made. Op- portunity had knocked—he was not one to deny her admission, no mat-1

he inquired. “Out beyond Ranger, somewhere.

But—’* “I'm going to visit that field, any-

how. This will give me an excuse." “Nonsense!” The jeweler did not

like to have fun poked at him. For some time he refused to take the offer seriously, and even when his host insisted that he would ;joy the lark, he expostulated: “Why, the idea is ridiculous! You—Calvin Gray, the financier, peddling jewel- ry! Ha! Outside of the fact that you wouldn’t, couldn’t do it, it's not the safest thing in the world to carry a

small fortune in stones through the oil fields.”

NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, April 28.—

Whether to fight, and, by fighting, | “straddle” on a patcjjed-up platform

perhaps disrupt the party, or to compromise, and by compromising that threatens to collapse from the innate fllmslness of the materials used In Its construction—that Is a

problem that Is giving Republican “leaders " who hope to have a de- termining voice In party parleys at Cleveland, many steepness nights.

If lett to himself, President Coo- lidge would construct a platform which would at least be safe, and symmetrical. While conservative, It

I would be logical and well balanced. But powerful elements within the

I party, while acknowledging the nomination of Coolldge to succeed himself is Inevitable and necessary, do not concede It Is either wise or

desirable to yield to him full au- thority in the shaping of party doc- trine at this time. To them, control of the machinery and policy of tho party Is more Important than any one victory, and rather than sur- render their grip on the power they now hold they would rather accept a temporary defeat at the polls.

* • •

Willingness to accept President Coolldge as platform writer as well as candidate has been seriously Inter- fered with by friction between White' House and senate. This may be fur- ther Intensified after the bonus and tax bills have received presidential attention, should he. as is considered by no means unlikely, veto them.

Even the old guard group in the senate, backbone of the conserva- tism Coolldge exemplifies, does not relish the complacency with which he has walked away with the party as his own undisputed possession. With a mere “by your leave, he has proceeded about both the presi- dency and his candidacy for renomi- nation.

The “leaders” have been left with 1

nothing to lead. And It has made 1

them, privately, petulant — even peevish 1 1

A member of the Republican Na- tional Committee speaking privately 1

BY GEORGE H. MANNING (Washington Corresjiondont of the

Perth Amboy Evening News) WASHINGTON, April 28—The ®

Navy Department today notified Congressman Elmer Geran, of Mata- wan, that it had ordered the dis- charge of Seaman Phillip Simplicio, son of Mrs. Frances Simplicio of Riverside Drive, Red Bank.

Young Simplicio attempted to en- g list In the navy last October, but as t he was but 17 years of age and could not obtain his mother’s consent c he was rejected. Later he enlisted 1 under the name of his brother, Go- a briele Lewis Simplicio aged 20 using his brother’s birth certificate. Mrs. 3 Simplicio, who is an invalid and J needs the aid of both of her sons In I her support, attempted through Con- gressman Geran to Secure his dis- a charge.
