"I MAY bo wrong," said Senator ' Wllllnm E. Boruh, "but I'm novcr In doubt." Tho senator illil not, liowover, relieve tho curiosity anil doubt of tlio rest ot u In hl speech Tuesday night. It was thought that ho would tell wheth er or not he really wanted to be a republican candidate for the presidency but he fulled to make any definite stntomont. One thing the senator did do, howevor, was to end doubts us to his position on tho Townsend plun. He staled that he favored a larger pension than that provided for In the social security legislation, but felt thut the Townsend plan is lni practlcahle. The result of Iloruh's activity Is considerable dissension In republi can party ranks. The rosult of Al Smith's activity is similar dissen sion In democratic party rankB. It Is safe to assume that nolthor con flict will rosult In otf-shoot parties because the men involved are too experienced in polities lo attempt to win with a third party..

VTOl' may have noted this sen tence from tho Washington ills lutih: "Polillcjil leadens worn seeking lo reckon the significance of Smith's projected 'walk' if tlio Democratic convention endorses tho administration, as expected." ' It raises this question: "WIIKIUS WILL HE WALK?" INTO a third party? Thut is Improbable, for Al Smith and those who feel as he does are seasoned campaigners who koow by experience that a third party Is upt to be nothing more than a futilo gesture ot pro test. They want HKHULTS not futile gestures of protest. yilE way It looks now, there will be two major parties in the coming election tho New Ileal party and the anti-New Ileal party.

THE JAUKOliNIA OllhUON row ER CO, MM, l fttJMs. STlftlSH, fc. swf asjsrsjst ' HIGH SCHOOL TRAGEDY By MAXINE SVXOPSIS ! Julie Martin, she's all of 17, is relating what happened after her French teacher pretty Constance (Connie) Sinclair, wna found bhot dead at a dusk In her (Mibs Sin clair's) apartment. Julie hap star tled her mother and IntnrestH htr father, u lawyer, by telling that she and her boy friend, Dicky Ward, had visited the apartment the previous afternoon, a few hours before tho murder. She had returned a fountuiii pen which she had borrowed from MUa Sinclair. Newspaper reports mako known that the teacher wiirt slain about 10 o'clock that night. The police wont to the apartment upon re ceipt of a mysterious Kdvphone call Informing them (hat miss Sin clair had been alalu. Julio's young brother, Allen, ufso it high bchool pupil, leaves the breakfast in bio soon after lhi family starts llscussing Ihe tragic news. At the school later, PoIIim Inspector O'Urfeu questions Julie concern ing tho leturn of th-3 pen, basing his inquiry on notes made during an earlier examlnutlon of Mrs. S ar il on 1 who conducted Ihe apartment house tenanted by the ulain teach er.' Julie tells the Inspector that sho - talked with .Miss Sinclair about a hook. Principal Perkins remarks that he found the book m the teacher's school desk that morning and gels permission to return It to the leutal store. Ab Julie is leaving, slin admits the asi knqwn caller on MU Sinclair Melvin Wright, doserihod by Mr. Perkins aa "the school's problem boy." Julie wonders what hap pened during Melvm'i star cham ber session with tto Inapeclor and the principal. CIIAPTEU III 1 havo nevor beard a hardor, more racing voice than the in spector's suddenly became. He said: "Younh man, this Is no time for your wise-cracking. Close the loot! That nidbt IHcky came over, a ml did we havo a lot to talk about! He had been (tiesioued, loo, and had (old about tho same story I bad. We wero awfully pua .led over Ihe pen. Then, too, I'irky did not know about Melvin s being there that niht. Did I as tound him with that eaptaode! But most of the litno, we were taktm up Willi the full details in the evening paper. The first re ports were ha.ny and meager in the morning, but by afternoon the police bad made seveial state ments. We were not mentioned at alt, of course, for which mother was very grateful. 1 was disap pointed then, but lalor I had reu- Mn to find out that publicity has s drawbacks. The accounts began with Miss Saws and Miss Whellon's calling at on o'clock that night to ask Miss Sinclair lo the movie, and her re fusal. She said she had letters to wrlle. Kvidently there naM been but ono teller und that a difficult one, for there wero many crumpl ed 8beels of tdalioneiy with onl hegimiiML's, and one on her desk. iiufintshed. Noihln wan said about 1 he pen : I ho newspiinei must havo missed that angle. All the letters wero addressed lo "I ear tteorge,' The first para Kraph of the final. ono was printed lit full. One San Franclseo paper mirled a facsimile of it in her handwriting, with the hadiM: TKAt'HKIt'S ILLICIT LOVE KK VKALKD. Mother thought that disgusting, and so did Dicky and I, We both knew MUs Sinclair wai ail rinht. 1 tiavt kept all the clippings Today's Oliver Twist CANTY about tho murder and made a 3crapbnok. So I copy this from that paper. It is the letter. "Deur George: "I have tried so hard to begin this loiter tonight. It is very diffi cult to know how to suy this so that you will understand and be lieve me. When we knew each other back home, and we were both kids and crazy about each other, I might have married you and been fairly happy. But please helievo me, George, when 1 say that 1 don't love you now. Years have passed and everything Is dif ferent. "In the first place, you are mar ried to someone else. 1 know we said that your marriage should mako no difference in our frlend uhlp, when we first met again In San Francisco. 1 tried to be mod ern about it, and l thutight we had a right to the old interest and af fection that we left. Perhaps 1 was wrong; I still think I was right had tilings stayed that way. "Hut they haveu't. You have come over here so many week ends that even the apartment house manager asked me if you were my flanoe.' And we cannot havo unothor scene like Sunday's. "Then, too, 1 have seen your wife. Now don't be angry wilh her. I raiher admire her for com ing straight to me with what she had to hay. of course, she blames me tor everything and she thinks we are having a real 'affair.' 1 am afraid 1 lost my temper, too. We had rather a row. 1 know 1 said a lot of foolish things, among them that 1 saw no reason for sac rificing our friendship. She went away thinking 1 was thoroughly bad and shameless, I'm afiaid. "I decided not to tell you any thing about it when 1 saw you Sun day, Hut after that scene In the cur, I began to see it all differ ently. Your wife was right. This can't go on, I am telling you the positive truth when 1 say that 1 don't waul to see you again. Please believe " There tho letter ended "stop ped by a bullet," the paper said. There was a lot more. Klrst of all. Mrs. Sardonl had seen a wo man enter Miss Sinclair's apart ment the week before. Sho gave a full description of her, tall, dark, exceedingly well ami fashionably dressed, very good-looking, about twenty-seven or eight. She wore a black fox shoulder capo and carried a small muff, a rather ex treme stylo. She had driven a large, now car. This woman's visit lasted about an hour. Toward the end of It, the voices of both women hud been raised, and the dark stranger hail left in a great temper, running down the stairs (n her car. It was supposed that this was "Oeorge's" w ilo. Police in Seattle were checking wilh Misa Sinclair's family and friends for the possble Identity of this mysterous couple. Mr. Sinclair, the murdered girl's father, would arrive (bat evening. Hut to continue the events nf the evening of OcIoIm-t JO, as they say in detective stories, (1 am reading i hem now, occasionally), Mrs. Sar donl had seen another visitor rn ter alHittt K:u0 clock, a young man who description sho had giv en police. Reporters had not dis covered who he was. Of course. Dirky and I knew It was Melvin IWrieht. Ho had left about S : So, I slamming down tho stairs aa If be : were angry, too. The remoter pointed out that from the nmnlier of starts and the length of the ft- jnal UtUr, Mttta Sinclair must have had tuort Unit to speud on it than the three-quarters of an hour which had elapsed between the teachers' call and the boy's. In other words, she must have been alive wbeu he left. "I don't see that," said Dicky. "I mean, I don't see why that proves he didn't kill her." "You don't think he did, do yon V 'Well, no. Hut look. Whut was to prevent his returning an hour or so later and shooting her, if he was so mad? And here's another thing: How do these guys know she wasn t working on that letter ever since we left at five?' She probably didn't take so much time for supper. And it. doesn't look to me as if It took so long to write once she got going. It sounds pretty much the way anyone might talk." I looked at Dick with admira tion. That is the reason I like him, I suppose. Ho isn't so awfully handsome, but he does think. "Well, I don't think Melvin did it," I answered. "Hut you are right. We ought not lo count htiu out. He could have done it, if he had a gun." ) "You know," Dicky was awfully serious, "1 think the French sys tem Is right. A man ought to be considered guilty until be proves nim Be it innocent. "That's what some newspapers do," I said. we went on reading. Mrs. Sar donl had seen no one else enter. She had hud a headache and gone to bed at 9:00. As her apartment was right underneath Miss Sin clair's, and as she had heard no shot, the pollco supposed the slay er had used a silencer. The cou ple who ocoupied the apartment on the other aide of the first floor, opposite Mrs. Sardonl,. had been out to a bridge party and did not return until midnight. They could offer no help at all. The teachers had stopped to eat aftor the show. which had been a long one, and had returned just aa the police ar rived. The telephone call bad come at 10:45. The officers sent out on the case had found the door of Miss Sinclair's apartment unlocked, had opened it, and found her in jade green lounging pajamas, half-supported by the desk chair, her arms and hoad sprawled on the desk it self, and a bullot through her I cried a little at that, and Dicky was most awkward. Just as he was patting my shoulder, a newsboy called, "Kxtra!" We both dashed to the street and bought the paper. The police had revealed a new development. Hyin, the Filipino Janitor of the aimrtnient house, had disappeared the night of the murder! (To be continued) ADOLPH'S OBSERVATIONS Hoeently a bum canio U the door for food and w e not big hearted and took him In. The Mrs. fixed him up with a large platter of meat, vegetables and plenty of mashed potatoes I watched this "boxo" eat and I almost became a nervous wreck. Ilo didn't seem to need a fork at all. but did everything with the knife. He pat tint bis potatoes to a certain thickness and rut them Into strips. It was remarkable how bo slipped his knife under these and stripped. It tljroUKh his mouth.

One Word Led To Another Bugs Baer jS (Copyright, 1936, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) I Borrowing Worth the Wrist The Ethiopian system of har nessing the debtor to the creditor seems like Siamese bookkeeping. It makes twins out of most of the population. Everybody owes something to somebody but why should Antonio and 8hylock be brace let pals? If you owe money to a man a detour Is better than an Installment You can't tell the landlord you are not in If ha ia sitting In your lap. Yet the handcuffing Idea ain't bad. It we could borrow a finlf off Vincent Astor we could go round the world on his yacht. And we would ask the blacksmith to do a neat vulcanizing job on the iron wrist-warmers. It would be a little compli cated for the wife of a pawn broker who wouldn't know how many stranger, to expect for dinner. He would call up at the close of a busy day and tell her, "I'm bring ing five hundred of my boat custo mers home for the hot groceries." It would be just IlKe march ing through Georgia with a chain gang. And not one of the five hundred would know the correct time, Suppose you loaned eleven dol lars to a parachute jumper until he got a job? That would put you in the parachute jumping business. When he got a job you would have to jump eleven dollars worth. Suppose, as a hitch-hiker go ing west, you borrowed money from an eastbound flivverlst? Who directs the traffic? And who has the right of way? 8hall thy people be my peo ple? Or, do we scatter? The apparently simple business of handcuffing becomes compli cated In Ethiopia where it in volves seniority, background and social prestige. In all flashlight pictures of debt ors and creditors, the Ethiopians read from right to left. In New port, Bar Harbor and Southampton we read just the opposite. When they collect taxes in Washington they start in the middle and work both ways. They don't chain the debtor to the creditor because they know the debtor likes com pany. They put him where he only sees visitors on Tuesdays. Of course, chaining up one wrist doesn't entirely cancel your finan cial career. Under the Marquis of Qucenabury rules you can borrow with ono hand tree. OREGON EVENTS FLASHED FROM WIRE SERVICE EUGKN'K, Ore., Jan. 30.

We especially enjoy the news feature and the better class music, such aa that furnished by the Hor ner trio, Mrs. Grow, Wanda Ar mour, Mr. Spencer and others. Some of the "Jazz" is pretty bard to take, but we realize that you cannot control the advertising pro-' grams, and we can always shut them off.

The band-wagon progress of sol dier bonus legislation represents one of those strange political turn ings which even the politicians themselves find It difficult to ex plain. For years no cause seemed more hopeless. Those who advocated the bonus, and those who would benefit directly by It, formed only a small percentage of the entire citizenship of the country. The movement faced not only a stone wall of executive opposition at Washington, but disco uraging tangle of outside Influences else where. The circumstances all wero against it. The country plainly waa tired not only of the World wai and Its consequences, but of all war and all things martial. Times were hard, taxpayers were beset by Increasing worries, and much ol the natural sympathy and public spirit of American life was washed out In renewed class antagonism aud desperate individual struggle for existence. ' ' '' Four successive presidents ve toed bonus bills in words of em phatic protest. Organized business, always a formidable political foe, threw its full force against the pro posed legislation, and many of tho ablest and most respected men in national life condemned it as un wise and unjust. In the face of all this, victory follows the banners of the bonus, Why? What has happened?
