WEATHERS STORM
SPLIT IN DEMO RANKS
OPENS RE-ELECTION PATH
LONG PUI1LIC CAREER
OF LITTLE ACHIEVEMENT
WASHINGTON. May 30. The luck
. lest man in American politic 1 the
Hon. James John Davis, usually
known aa "the puddler." With no
special equipment, but a certain low
shrewdness and pure bull luck. he
haa kept his place at the public
trough since the golden ago of War
ren Gamaliel Harding.
By now. he Is a landmark. Prom
Eastport. Me., to Long Beach. Calif ,
your personsambltous for a lafe of
ease on the peoples payroll ought to
make pilgrimage to the senate cham
ber, there to draw their Inspiration
from the puddler. They will sec a
stumpy, marmoreal little man, with
a shock of silver hair ana a coniuseu
manner, which suggests that, after a
long training In the purelleus of small
time politics, he has never got used
to the eminence of high office. A
blind white crawfish, torn from the
dark depths of Mammoth cave, would
react to the light In the same vague,
unhappy fashion.
As Harding's. Coolldgo's, and Hoo
' ver's secretary of labor, he did noth
ing more memorable than recruiting
members for his favorite fraternal or
ganization, the Moose. As senator, lie
haa never done or said anything of
the least Importance. He Is still so In
expert that, even In order to get
something In the congressional rec
ord, he often has to call for help
from minority leader Charles L. Mc
Nary. Yet the chances now are that
the great state of Pennsylvania will
elect him senator for another term.
Only a few months ago, no one
would have bet a cent on the pud
dler. The Guffey-Earle organization
was riding high In Pennsylvania, and
the Republican party's angels. Joe
Pew, Ernest Weir and Joe Grundy,
considered the puddler a radical be
cause of his occasional labor votes.
Grundy, the broken-down tariff
lobbyist, trotted out State Senator G.
Mason Owlett as his candidate. The
word went "round that the Sun Oil
company dollars of Pew and the Na
tional Steel dollars of Weir were to
be lavished on the obedient Owlett.
The puddler actually thought of with
drawing from the race. Forttinately
for him, he opened his heart to his
colleague, Joe Guffey. The now busted
- sntrap of Pennsylvania told the pud-
dler that he'd better Btrlng along.
"Stick with It," he said. "You'll
get the nomination, and that's some
thing, snyway."
Sure enough. Joe Pew and Joe
Grundy, fell out. The puddler slipped

!0F KIDNAPED BOY
Body Bound in Wire Head,
Hands and Feet Gone-
Marks in Clothing Make
Identification Certain.
NEW ROHELLE. N. T.. May 30.
(AP) The long search for kidnaped
12-year-old Peter Levlne a search of
three tragic montha during which
one clue after another came to noth
ing ended last night In the discov
ery of the boy's headless body on the
shore of Long Island Sound,
Ransom notes had been found and
answered; Murray Levine, the father,
had publicly offered to pay 30.000.
There was no conclusive answer
from the abductors, and the whole
case of missing Peter Levlne had been
all but forgotten until, Just after
dusk last night, a woman telephoned
the police:
"There's a body out here!"
Name In Shirt
. They found, then, what was left
of Peter Levlne a wire-bound torso
only, the head gone, the hands and
feet gone, and only a patched -sleeved
sweater, a red windbreaker and a
shirt, with the name "Peter Levlne"
stitched In it, to make the ldcnUfica
tion certain. The body had come
ashore on an estate bordering the
urnnd not far from the boy's home.
Dr. Amos O. Squire, Westchester
county medical examiner, said It
would be almost Impossible to tell
just what had caused Peter's death
knife, blow or drowning but added
that his preliminary examination In
dicated the boy had been slain and
hU body tossed into the sound.
Dr. Squire and his assistants took
every possibility into account. Dr.
Robert Latelner. assistant city phy
sician of New Rochelle, said one of
the first medical testa ordered. -.wavtA"
see whether poison might have been
a factor In death.
Clearly Murder
Toxic traces, he pointed out. might
last In a body Indefinitely.
"This," aald District Attorney Wal
ter Ferris, "Is a clear case of murder."
High-ranking agents of the federal
bureau of Investigation went to work
immediately, with J. Edgar Hoover,
its chief, who was In New York, tak
ing charge of the Investigation.
Murray Levlne. Peter's father, a
New York lawyer who had put aside
everything In his vain search for the
body and had appealed in every man
ner to the abductors to "make con
tact," was so utterly crushed by the
news that be scarcely was able to
talk.
In the boy's trouter pocket were
found a Jack-knife and a toy air
plane.
Search Waterfront
The medical examiners were unable
to tell without further examination
whether Peter's head was out off by
the abductors or a boat striking the
body had caused the mutilation.
One of Hoover's first acta was to
direct a search of the waterfront in
an effort to trace the movements of
the kidnapers with the body. .
The most, substantial clue to the
whole crime, Inconclusive aa it was,
was the sinister coll of copper wire
with which Peter's body had been
wrapped. Federal agents Immediate
ly set about trying to trace it where
I; -ass bought, by whom, and when.
The boy disappeared last February
24, on his way home from school, and
the dread, familiar kidnap checking
routine set in Immediately.
The first ransom note which, like
all others, appeared to have been
written on a oheap toy typewriter-
demanded 160,000 and Levlne,
slight, earnest, typically middle-class
lawyer of no great wealth, set about
sadly to try to raise the money.
Boy's Note Received
On Feb. 28, the father received a
note, scrawled In a schoolboyish hand
on a scrap of newspaper, signed
"Peter," and begging "dad" to pay
what had been asked.
Four days later, while the Levlnes
waited in their two-story stucco
home with blinds drawn and Inter
mittently appealing to the police and
public to keep "hands off," Levlne
disclosed that $30,000, demanded In
another ransom communication, was
ready.
On April 20, Levlne had become to
jadly certain that his son was dead
that he offered a new reward 125,000
for the boy a recovery but, more
significantly. 95.000 for Information
disclosing his body.
One thing was widely accepted:
The boy's kidnapers had become
angry and killed him brutally, per
haps even continuing their negotia
tions for money long after hi body
lay in the sound.

SPIRITED AM
GESTAPO IN NIGHT
VIENNA. May 30. (AP) The
whereabouts of ex-Chancellor Kurt
Schusclmlgg were a mystery today,
after it was learned reliably chat he
had been taken quietly "somewhere
north" by German secret police Sat
urday night.
The Belvedere castle which was his
home end where he remained under
guard after anschluss with Germany
March IS la to be emptied by next
Tuesday, neighbors said. -
Three possible explanations were
advanced unofficially to explain the
;ransfer from Belvedere.
One was that Schuschnlgg would
have to face trial before the Leipzig
supreme court.
Others who thought his health too
impaired for imprisonment at Leip&lg
penitentiary believed he might be
permitted to live under guard in a
German sanatorium.
The third reasoning was that let
ters threatening to "lynch him" and
assurances by friends they would try
to free him had necessitated his re
moval. TORONTO. May 30. (Canadian
Press) Executors of the "stork derby"
will of Charles Vance Millar an
nounced today that litigation arising
from the bizarre contest had been
terminated and fortunes of $100,000
each had been deposited to the credit
of four Toronto mothers adjudged
winners.
Two mothers who had failed to
establish legal claims to share in the
estate, Mrs. Lillian Kenny and Mrs.
Pauline Mae Clark, each received
$12,500. It was understood the win
ning mothers agreed to the payments
on condition Mrs, Kenny and Mrs.
Clark dropped appeals pending in the
courts.
The payments went to Mrs. Kath
leen Nagle, Mrs. Annie Smith, Mrs.
Isabel Mac Lean and Mrs. Alice Tlm

nine children In the 10-year period
after Millar's death on Oct. 31, 1920.

Cemetery at Jacksonville
Poignant Link With Past
By .Maude Pool
, There Is something about an old
cemetery at Memorial time that
urges a visitor to stop, to prod
among mossy monument or be
neath dark, vine grown corners for
some bit of a story that may lie hid
den here.
Jacksonville's grand old cemetery
la one of these. And It la not Just
for thoughts of the past that a vis
itor would care to linger, but Its
30 acres of verdant, shaded beauty
lying on an eastward, flower strewn
slope suggests a place of peace and
tranquility.
The Masonic burial section, with
Its bright spraya of sweet peas and
roses, contains within one of Its
lots more history than any other
cemetery In southern Oregon. It Is
there that the first burial In the
cemetery occurred, that of Margaret
Love 79 yeara ago. It was a rainy
October day, and since no roadi was
built to the graveyard, the body was
carried to the wooded hillside. The
tall marble monument marking this
grave waa shipped around Cape Horn
from Italy, and was packed here from
Crescent City. Oeorge Love, prosper
ous hardware merchsnt of Jackson
ville, erected this monument to his
mother. This stone does not bear
the oldest date In the cemetery,
however. Two slabs were erected In
memory of Oabrlel and Andervllle
Plymale In 1852. the bodies having
been moved from a former cemetery
located near the Dr. Robinson home.
In the Love lot Is the grave of
Oeorge Harris, massacred by the In
dians In Josephine county In 1866.
Connected with this Is the well
known story of Mrs. Harris' eighteen
hour bsttle with the Indians In
which the daughter, Sophia, was
wounded. The boy, David, had gone
on an errand at the time, and neither
returned nor waa found. A unique
ball of marble, carved to perfection
In representation of many flowers
serves aa a foot marker. Although
the marble 1 grayed with moss,
calls lilies, roses, lilies of the valley,
and other patterns are visible.
One lot In this section, beautifully
arranged In Its day, but somewhat
neglected now, Is that of Oeorge P.
Pitts, whose death occurred In 1876
when he fell to the ground from
high on the Masonlo building In
Jacksonville which was under con
struction. Pine old post carved of
sandstone before concrete was
known, linked with huge Iron chains,
enclose the lot. A marble monument
dated 1873 and bearing the name of
Dr. A. B. Overbeck, brings to mind
Jacksonville's first doctor, whose
name forever will be assoclsted with
the smallpox' scourge of the AO's.
The land fbr the cemetery was do
nated by J. N. T. Miller.
A riot of yellow blossoms on the
Scotch broom adds Interest to the
I.OO.P. plot, where the observer may
find, with the willing help of Ike
Coffman, sexton, many things of un
usual note, aa well aa pieces of his
tory connected wrth the names ot
those burled there, in the shade ol

EXPECTED BY BARKLEY
WASHINGTON, Mar 80. (AP)
Members of congress want to go home
by June It, and Senate Leader Bark

day that they will get their wish.
"We should pass the relief bill In

all we will have left are a compro

The grave of John A. Boyer would

daya. Boyer, who died In 1003, was
a trusted msn, and worked for many
yeara In the Beekman bank. He also
was a grandmaster of the lodge. The
monument of Silas J. Day, founder
of Oddfellowshlp In Jacksou county,
brings to mind the days when Mr.
Day covered the territory of Oregon,
Waahtngon, Idaho and part of Mon

cuit both afoot and on horseback.
His trip required a year and three
days. He died 3D years ago.
The Ish lot, with Its ornamental
Iron fence, Is made picturesque with
nine tall monumenta. some slightly
tilted In their sandstone founda
tions. In one corner of the lot stands
a massive cauh Iron seat, molded
In Imposing fern designs.
Although ons's thought always
turn to the past when visiting a
cemetery, the present cannot be
overlooked here, for the tall bouquets
of rare wild flowera on the new
grave of Mrs. John Heckner bespeak
the love and loneliness of her hus

bringing wide concern. The Odd Pel
