Tlic British bishop of Man
chester fears "strife for mas
tery between men and women."
That strife will never be dan
gerous. Women manufacture
the men, which is the highest
kind of work, and men do the
work.
II an hasn't the faintest
chance of competing with wo
nan in motherhood. . No wo
man lias ever competed with
men in what we call works of
genius.
There never has existed even
lv n fifth-rate woman painter,
rwriter, sculptor or musician.
fa
llen and women supplement
each other and get along very
nicely.
Woman comes first, for the
creator is greater than the
thing created. Michael Angelo
was greater than his first work.
His mother was greater than
he.
A poet may say:
"I am the master of my fate,
I am tiie captain of my soul."
But, it is unwise for a lady
who wants to testify in court
at Charlotte, N. C, to take that
stand.
Mrs. Miller, 20 years old,
called a "communist labor agi
tator," told the court that
"man controls his own desti
ny.' She was impeached as an
atheist, therefore not worthy to
be a witness.
Kukh.h'h rovernmont; going
in the other direction, is open
ing nine more "anti-religions
universities," to preach athe
ism. Russian trade union organi
zations arc ordered to appro
priate from "cultural funds'1
a sum every month for organi
zation of militant atheists.
Organized atheism will not
go far.
And organized intolerance,
telling u man what he may or
may not believe in the United
States, will not go far either.
Samuel Instill, Jr., following
in his father s industrial dino
saur tracks, as president of the
Midland United Company of

FAIL NOTE
DOHENY
AY
Wife of Oil Man Identifies
Mutilated Paper in Trial
of Former Secretary
Doheny Says Money Was
Merely Loan to Old Friend
in Need Signature Was
Torn Off.
WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. (JP)
Mrs. Carrie Estelle Doheny, wife
of 10(1 ward L.. Doheny, whom the
government charges bribed Albert
IS. Kail with $100,000 to obtain the
Elk Hills, Calif., naval oil lease,
testified today Fall's signature had
been torn from a note for that
amount no the former interior sec
retary would not be embarrassed
if anything happened while she
and her husband were en route
home.
Wearing a black dress, trimmed
in white, she said her husband hud
told her to keep the signature
carefully so it would be available
when time came to present the
note for payment.
She added she had taken the
signature from New York to Los
Angeles and put it in a safe de
posit box.
Jury Sees Note
Today Mrs. Doheny produced
the signature in court. She al
ready had identified the note.
Frank llogan, chief defense coun
sel, put them together and pre
sented the complete note to the
jury, which examined it carefully.
She was on the stand only a
short while before her husband
was called. Regarded as the most)
important witness for defense,
Doheny said the $100,000 was a
"loan to an old friend in need"
and not a bribe as charged by the
prosecution.
Doheny said he first met Fall in j
Kingston in 1886 when Fall was a
miner at the Grayeagle mine.
' Undoi'- rapid examination the
wtlncsH covered a span of years
during which he achieved success
in business and Fall rose high in
political life.
I'sccl No Influence
Doheny said he had nothing to
do with President Harding's trans
fer of the naval oil reserves to the
jurisdiction of the Interior depart
ment hut told of receiving a letter
from Fall in 19 21 in which the
latter asked him to get the Pan
American company to relinquish
rights to part of Klk Hills, lie
said he replied his company would
be glad to do anything to help the
government.
Fall later told him, the oil man
said, of his desire to purchase an
addition to his ranch property and
spoke of trying to borrow $100,000
from JOdward B. McLean, Wash
ington publisher. Doheny said he
ottered to let Fall have the money
but the cabinet member did not
immediately accept the offer but
asserted if he did ho would give
Doheny a mortgage on the ranch
property.

Senator Walsh Asks Lobby
ist for Copies of Corres

tended to Return Salary
Received From Govern
ment, Is Claim.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. )
A nutation from the minutes of
the Connecticut Manufacturers
association approving the assign
ment of a "representative" to
Senator Bingham, Republican, of
Connecticut, to help "protect"
Connecticut industries in tho tariff
bill today was read into the record
of the senate lobby committee.
Senator Walsh. Democrat, Mon
tana, after rending the notation
asked the witness. Charles L.
Kyanson, who the "representative"
was.
"f presume myself," he replied.
Bingham has testified Kyanson
was "loaned" to him by the associ
ation to assist him at the time the
tariff measure wus before the
senate finance committee and that
this possibly had been a mistake.
An. intention to return all money
received from tho government was
given today by Kyanson before the
committee as tho reason for not
notifying his employer, tho Con
necticut Manufacturers associa
tion, that he had been put on the
government's pay roll by Senator
Bingham, to assist the senator In
tariff matters.
To Itetiini Pay
Kyanson, one of tho witnesses at
yesterday's stormy session when
Bingham said his employment
might have been a mistake, insist
ed today under questioning by
Chairman Caraway that "I did not
intend to keep the government
pay."
. vWuro aomo of your Ideas ro-
neetea in tlio tantt bill''' asked
Senator Caraway.
"Perhaps. But all I did was to
save Senator Bingham tho trouble
of collecting Information. I hope
I was of help," said Kyanson.
Senator Walsh, Domocrat, Mon
tana, asked for copies of corre
spondence exchanged bet ween
himself and officers of tho associa
tion during his work in Washing
ton for. Bingham.
"These aro of a more personal
nature than I realised," Kyanson
said as ho turned over tho corre
spondence. A letter from E. Kent Hubbard,
president, to Kyanson, dated July
I a was read by Senator Walsh.
Did ii Great Ileal
"You havo done a great deal
more than we bargained for In tho
beginning," Walsh read asking:
"To what does Mr. Hubbard re
fer In regard to your one month's
work In Washington?"
"His Idea, I think, was that
three or four weeks ought to be
sufficient tlmo to prepare data for
Senator Bingham," cxplalnod
Kyanson.
Quoting farther, Walsh read:
"Undoubtedly tho results which
you have accomplished are far
reaching and will bear fruits for
soma tlmo to come."
"What did ho mean?" asked tho
senator.
"Ho know nothing," tho witness
said. "You will havo to ask him
about that."
"Isn't tho plain meaning of this
that Mr. Hubbard hai information
about rates tho Connecticut manu
facturers were going to get nnd
those were tho results ho was talk
ing about ?" persisted Senator
Walsh.
"I don't suppose Mr. Hubbard
knew anything at that time about
tho tariff rates," replied Kyanson.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. (JP)
cnairmun Caraway of tho senate
lobby commitleo said today he had
no Intention asking for prosecution
In connection with any posslblo
violation of law which might be
Involved through tho employment

Entries In a small black account

six months, huge sums paid for
bribery, ships and liquor, revealed
today the proportions of tho syndi

monopolized liquor smuggling along

The account book was seized

the little book, about five by ton
Inches, contained In addition to no

were divided In ratios of seven to

Notations showed, he said, that
last March the syndicate spent
$700,000 In Montreal "for ships,
