A Little Too Late
BY BRUCE CATTON
One of the least lovely truits we possess is our
fondness for making a sentimental fuss over the
coffins of people who never gut & decent break from
us while they were alive.
That peculiar community symbolized by the word
«Broadway” went in for a regular orgy of that sort
when an old woman known as “Apple Annie” was
jaid to rest.
Apple Annie was a poor old woman who for years
gupported herself by peddling apples and chewing
gum on Times Square. It wasn’t such a hot way
of making a living, as you can imagine; the thought
of a woman of 70 keeping on the pavements in all
kinds of weather to make a few dimes for her sup- |
port isn’'t a pleasant one. |
But Apple Annie stuck to it and enjoyed a mom
ent of fame, a year ago. Someone Wrote a story |
about her, the story was trangformed intp a ”movie--i
and a press agent came along and used Apple Annie
to ballyhoo the picture. ;o > ‘
She was turned into a lady for. a day;. they p,uj‘
her up at a fine hotel, trotted her around Broadwa®
in a big car, dressed her up in fine clothing, gave her
4 swell meal—and then, after it was all over, let
her go back to the apple-peddling game, L
As a matter of fact, people completely forgot
about her. Like other businesses, the selling of ap
ples suffered a diminishing profit margain, Besides,
Apple Annie was pretty well on in years, Presently
she vanished, and nobody knew what had happened.
Then, a few days ago, Apnple Annie turned up—
in the city mergue. She had died during the night,
she and the enfeebled old husband whom her earn
ings as a pddler had helped keep alive. She lay
in the morgue & week befokre anyone recognized her.
But once she was identified, Broadway turned
out to give her a fine funeral. Stars from the stage
and the night clubs gathered by her coffin. FExpen
sive bouquets and wreaths were sent, Broadway
as they say, showed that it “had a heart.”
S 0 Apple Annie had two big days; one when a
press agent used hey to ballyhoo a movie, and one
when she was buried.”
If we had a decent amount of genuing human
sympathy, wouldn’t we have spread all that fuss
out a little bit more, so that the poor old lady
gould have got a littly good out of ie?
Survivors of the Morro Castle disaster, and rela
tives of the people who perished in it, have formed
what they call the Morro Castle Association; and
this association has just passed a resolution con
demning the federal steamboat inspection service
because its report on ihe tragedy lays the blame on
individual seamen vather than on the company
which operated the steamer.
This is a sensible attitude to take, since it is a
reminder .that the basic trouble was a general con
dition rather than the dereliction of a few men; but
it would be even more sensible to go still farther,
and tp condemn current practices in the American
merchant marine as a whole rather than one par
ticular company.
Until shipping companies institute working and
wage conditions which makg it possible to keep ex
perienced crews and to maintain proper discipline
and training, tragedies like that of the Morro Castle
will continug to be possible. Not one man or one
company, but the merchant marine as a whole, must
share the responsibility. » ¥
The mayor of a large middlewestern eity has an
nounced that soapbox speakers of radical persuasion
will no longer be allowed to make speeches from
rostrums in a downtown park, as has been the
custom in that city for many years.
Defending this action, he declares that “we must
respect American institutions,” and that speakers
who do not respect them will not be permitted to
air their views.
The chief flaw in this attitude is that one of the
most sacred of all American institutions is the right
of frée speech. It is hard to inculcate a respect for
American institutions by outlawing one of the most
important of them.
There is also, the added consideration that sucl
action simply playvs into the hands of the mslcon:
tents and gives them something to talk about. |
The old rags-to-richeg story is generally looked
apon—on this side of the Atlantic—as a peculiarly
American institution. We are so proud of the fact
that our great leaders are usually men who came
up from the bottom eof the ladder, that we some
fimes forget that similar opportunitieg are open in
other lands. J iy
When Sir Stephen Hendy Molyneux Killik became
lord mayor of London the other day, a “typically
American” success story reached Its culmination.
Sir Stephen was born a poor boy- At the age of
13 he went to work as a messenger boy at five
shillings a week. He rose to become one of the
empire’s most influential business men and chief
executve of the empire’s gratest city. |
All of this, of course, needn't detract from ourl
pride in the traditiona] American equality of oppor
tunity. But it is a good reminder that we have no
monopoly on that virtue.

S*OWER RATES PROVE PROFITABLE
The reduction in passenger fares on the
railroads has proved a success, and on the
request of some of the railroads, the Pub
lic Service Commission has authorized the
continuance of the one and one-half cent
a mile for another year. 7 ;
The Savannah Morning News, in com
menting on the action of the railroads in
reducing fares and the action of the Public
Service Commission in authorizing the low
rates for another year, has the following to
sav:
{ “Georgians rejoice in the announcement
that continuance of the one and one-half
;cent a mile rate in day coaches on rail
road trains has been ordered for another
yvear by the Georgia Public Service Com
mission, at the request —of the railroads.
The low rates were instituted a yvear ago
as an experiment and found so successful
that they have been continued in effect
twice before on petition of the railroads.
The commission has fixed two cents a mile
as the maximum in all other coaches, in
cluding Pullmang, The railroads are now
fighting before the Interstate Commerce
Commission the two-cents-a-mile maxi
mum,”
It is true, people are riding the trains
in greater numbers since the new low
rates were authorized than at any time in
recent years, which goes to prove that ser
vice is of the greatest*importance to the
public. With service on the trains and con
venient schedules there is reason for be
lieving that the railroads will soon regain,
in a great measure, that wkich they have
lost on account of high fares and an inferi
or quality of service. |
The Albany Herald concurs in the opin
ion of the editor of the Morning News,
and expresses the following opinions re
lating to the railroads, fares, service and
schedules:
“Lower railroad passenger rates have
had the effect of greatlv increasing rail
way passenger travel. Often day coaches
are erowded where, before rates were low
ered, they carried very few passengers.
Ancther factor n t to be overlooked is the
safety of railway passenger travel as com
pared with travel on the highways, where
the -continuing carnival of death and in
jury induces a great many prudent travel
ers'to give preference to the railroads.
The safety of railway travel has had its
margin enormously increased during the
last quarter of a century.”
From all appearances, there is a better
understanding between the railroads and
the public. They are becoming more lib
eral in their views and in their actions. It
i 8 true, in the past, the railroads did take
an independent position with the public,
dlmost, if not quite pursued arbitrary poli
cies. Whether intended as such or not, it
did cause a prejudice to arise against the
railroads that was, indeed, unfortunate.
Now that the railroads have seen the light,
it is believed that under the reduced sys
tem of fares, the railroads will come back
to a level where their stocks and bonds
Iwill earn the owners reasonable dividends.
BETTER TRAINED SOLDIERS
In an Armistice Day address delivered
by United States Senator George, at Co
lumbus, he stated that ‘‘this country should
provide superior training for soldiers, if
unhappily, war should come again”.
With the unsettled conditions in many
of the foreign nations, this country is lia
blel to be drawn into a war at any timel;
Rulers are being assassinated and preju
dice against the United States rankles in
the inner circles of unfriendly countries.
The World War was brought on by the
murder of a royal personage in Siberia. It
was not though at the time that such an
oceurrence could involve this nation in
war, but it did and the greatest conflict
the world has ever known followed. Not
that this country was interested in the
cause that brought on the assassination of
the Serbia royalist, but when war was de
clared, it spread out until it reached world
wide proportions, and finally the United
States founc it necessary to take part in
the hostilities in order to protect its own
interest. At that time, our country was
lwholly unprepared to engage in war. With
only a “corporal’s guard” of soldiers in
‘the standing army of the nation, a hurry
\up organization was perfected for train
ing soldiers. The other nations of the
Iworld were startled at the rapidity in
which the United States mobilized millions
{of men, taken green from the ranks of citi
zenship and in a few months, America
sent across the ocean armies of trained
men who won the war for the allied na
tions and made the “World safe for De
maoeracy’. .. : -
It is obvious from every viewpoint the
necessity for this country to adopt a pre
paredness program in the enlargement and
equipping all of its defense forces in order
to prevent any invasion by unfriendly na
tios. In the many relief programs now be
ing sponsored by the government for the
reduction of its unemploved, the training
of yorng men for miltary service should
be the chief aims of the present admin
istration. The young men who take up the
Civilian Conservation Corps should be
trained and equipped for army service.
Through this agency, in a few years, this
country could build a trained army second
to none in the world.
~ Senator George should be commended
for his stand for more better frained and
eauinved soldiers, prepared for service!
whenever duty may call them to arms. |

| It is always a pleasure to
| meet up with J. M. Lamar,
¥ who is always posted on things
| of interest, especially current
{ events.
{ He is enthusiastic over sports of
i all kinds, football and baseball be
‘jng his hobbies. Mr. Lamar was
, an Athenian prior to his return to
;this city some years ago. When
{ he was a boy, he lived on Prince
| avenue, the place known at that
{ time as the Lamar home. Later
i his family moved from Athens and
{ when he became old enough he
}entered the University of Mary
| land where he was rated as_a star
| baseball player on the university’s
| team. However, his eyes gave out
| and he was forced to give up his
! studies and leave college. His
fb:uwball playing, however, was
:known throughout the east and
i during the summer months he
played on the professional team of
the Philadelphia e¢lub where he
| was one of the star players.
. Later in life, he moved to
( Florida and joined alliance
i with his brother, General Wii
i liam B. Lamar, who was at

‘ for several years, succeeding
| to the office of governor and
later to the congress of the

is the county seat. Since moving

The Clew of the .
Forgotten Murder
BEGIN HERE TODAY
When CHARLES MORDEN, re
porter for The Blade, is found
dead DAN BLEEKER, publisher,
employs SIDNFY GRIFF, famous
crifainologist, to solve the murder.
Morden had been investigating
the affairs of FRANK B. CATHAY
wealthy and prominent, following
the arrest of an impostor claiming
to be Cathay and accompanied by
a girl called MARY BRIGGS.
The day following Morden's
death Cathay dies of poisoning.
Griff learns that Morden had
visited the apartmént of ALICE
LORTON, pretty and unemployed.
He confronts Alice with KEN
NETH BOONME, accuses the pair
of killing Morden, and they gare
arrested, :
MRS. BLANCHE MALONE, for
whom MRS. CATHAY and CARL
RACINE, detective in her employ,
have been searching, is located but
Tefuses to talk.
Griff and Bleeker go to the hotel
where Mary Briggs, now known as
Stella Mockey, is staying. They find
CHARLES FISHER, Cathay’s law
yer, there, The girl tells them that
the man who impersonated Cathay
was PETE MALONE and that he
frequently telephoned F RANK
BLISS, Cathay's chauffeur.
Fisher explains to Griff and
Bleeker his theory of Cathay's
death.
Griff nodded to the lawyer.
“You tell him,” he said. -
Fisher turned, facing Bleeker.
“At the time the check was cashed,”
he said, spqaking slowly and with
grave emphasis, “the plot, what
ever it was, was about to culminate,
This man, Malone, knew that Ca
thay would not be in a position to
make any complaint. lln other
words, he had anticipated the death
of Frank B. Cathay, in which event
the canceled check with the forged
signature would be found among
his effects. A checkup of the
hotel register would show that Ca
thay was registered there that
night; that the man who had cash
ed the, chéck had exhibited duco
mentary evidence showing he was
the real Frank Cathay. Of course
this matter would not come up un
til months after Cathay’s death,
when the estate had been probated
and the claim of this man, Malone,
whatever the nature of it,. would
be presented against the estate and
brought up to trial. As you are
doubtless aware, litigation takes
time and :s subject to annoying de
lav.
“The attorneys representing ' the
Malone claim, whatever its nature,
would demand that the estate pro
duce all documents and vouchers
which were in its possession, The
canceled check could not have been
destroyed because it would have
come into the possession of the
estate instead of the possession of
Cathay before, his death. It would,
therefore, make an excellent dem
onstration of the genuineness of the
forged signature.”

CHAPTER XXXIX
“And what,” asked Bleeker, “is
the nature of this claim that Ma
lone is to make?" :
“I wish I knew,” Fisher said. “l
can surmise and Y can suspect but
my obligations to my client, gentle
men, prevent me from communicat.
ing my suspicions or my surmises.
Iy even goes soo far as to seal my
lips upon faets, save such facts as
I believe I may commfnicate with
out detriment to my client.”
Griff stared in fixed concentra
tion at the patterned carpet of the
hotel hallway. § \
“I think,” he saig slowly, “that
I see what you have in mind.”
“I am guite sure you do,” Fisher
said readily emough, “but I cannot
confirm your surmises,, andg I do
not wish to. You can, however, ap
preciate the importande of getting
Frank Bliss into custody and get
ting an interview with Mrs. Blan
che Malone before Petew Malone is
able to get in touch with her. Nat
urally, also, it becomes vitally im
portant to apprehend Peter Mal
one,” e
“Don’t you think,” Griff said,
“that Peter Malone has done all
that he cares to do; that he hag
fully performed his part .in the
scheme of things and is now ready,
to vanish?”’ ; e
“I think,” Fisher said, “he al.
ready has vanished.”
“Your plan?’ askeg Grist,
“I think,” Fisher said, “we should
call upon Mrs. Blanche Malone.”
Bleeker started to say something,
but Griff checked him with a pres
sure of thumb and forefinger on
the publisher’'s elbow.
“Do vyou,” asked the criminolo
gist, “know anything about an
Esther Ordway or Alice Lorton, as
the case may be:”
Fisher scowled.
“No,” he said. Why!"
“Only,” Griff told him, “because
she is mixed ilnto the case in some
way. That is, the ‘'woman is mix
ed in the Morden murder case. She
and a male companion by the name
of Kenneth Boone were taken into
custody today by the pollee and
are now being interrogated. It is
possible that she has already made
some statements.”
“You consider the murder of
Mordéen connected with the plan of
this Peter Malone ” the lawyer in
quired. ?
“L think,” Griff said, “there can
not be the slightest doubt about it.
Morden found out something, He
was murdered because it was vital
that this information Morden had
acquired be suppressed and the
conspirators decided to silence
Morden's !ips before he could con
vey that” information to his news
paper.”
“T think you're right,” the attor
ney said, “but I do not care, at the
present time, to allow myself to get
side-tracked on the matter of this
Morden murder. After all, you must
admit it may have been dne to
other causes. In other words, it
may be one of those ecoincidences
which happen in real life ang which
are so baffling to an investigator
For instance, it is very possible
that this woman, Hsther Ordway
actually had no connection with
the Cathay case whatever, but that
Morden thought she had some in:
formation which would be of val
ue, or Morden may have merely
scraped an acquaintance with her
in a soclal way. Her male com
panion may have been exceedingly
jealous. . He. may. have murdared
Morden in a fit of Jealousy, and
because Morden was .investigating
this Cathay case, we would natur.
ally jump to the conclusion that
he lost his lifé because of the case
he was investigating. =

OLD and NEW
(By Lucy W. Nicholson)
BY LUCY W. NICHOLSON
Azeleas are flowering shrubs
that live a long, long time, and the
longer they live, the more beauti
ful they become—time is kind to
them. Each year but adds to their
capacity to display more loveliness
in the greater quantity of flowers,
and the flowers of older plants are
just as perfect as those of yvoung
ones. An azalea Yush twenty years
old is young in ito blushing beauty
when early springtime comes——the
rest of the vear, the azalea is sed
ately dressed in green, if evergreen
—if deciduous, the azalea has bare
limbs exposed to the winter wea
ther.
As azaleas are often a lifetime
investment, buy the varieties suit
ed to your needs as to climate, size,
color. i
Azaleas in this climate need to be
able to withstand the cold weather
and unexpected freezes, or vou will
lose the floavers if the colg eatches
them Just as “they are about to
cloom.
. The Japanese azaleas of the ever.
green type and the native azaleas
are kinds you can count on having
blooms come to perfection, the
freezes never mar their flowers as
they blossom in the early spring
after the coldest weather is over—
these are flower-assured.
. Japanese Azaleas
Some kinds of Japanese azaleas
are low-growing and fit in nicely
in half-shady rock gardens where
sun-loving plants refuse to flour
ish, for azaleas like partial shade.
They like perfect diainage. If
the place you are putting them in
is not well draio<a, put coal cin
ders or small rocxs at the bottom
of the hole you are digging, In
filing the hole put in a mixture
of sand, leaf mold and good gar
den soil. :
Be sure your azaleas are in reach

prefer to keep to the main trail”
“But,” Bleeker said, “we have
evidence that Cathay left his car
near the apartment house where
this woman lived:; that he spent
some time in her apartment and
“That s what I am conceding,”
Fisher said, “that the woman either
had some contact with Cathay, or
that Morden thought she had some
contact with Cathay. It makes lit
tle difference which. My point re
mains unshaken, that Morden’s
death may have nothing whatever
to do with the conspiracy that I
am investigating.”
Griff nodded. “I see vour point,”
he said, “although I am not inclin
ed to agree with it.”
| “Whether vou agree with it or
not,” Fisher said: “vou must admit
the logic of refusing to be drawn
from a hot trail. We are now in
a position to run down' the conspir
acy against * Cathay, We have
‘brought home to Frank Bliss a grave
suspicion of having been implicated
in the murder of Frahk Cathay.”
“You think it was a murder?”
Griff asked.
““Beyond any doubt.”
“Go on,” QGriff said,
“We have,” the lawyer went on
“secured the address of Blanche
Malone and I say to you gentlemen
that it is by no means improbable
Mrs. Malone is the one who is to
profit by the years of preparatien
which have been made by Peter
Malone; that it is not inconceiv
able that Malone was prepared to
make it appear that he and Ca
thay were one and the same per
son, and that Mrs. Malone, her mar
riage once having been established
i, in fact, the surviving wife of
Frank Cathay.”
Bleeker's ¢yves sparkleg with wsud
den understanding.
“Good heavens!” he said, “that
must be it! But can it hold up in
view of the testimony of this young
woman ?”
“That,” Fisher said, “remains to
be seen. But, of course, that is the
thing I am trying to do—to thwart
this conspiracy. 1 think, gentle
men, it will be better if I go to see
Mrs. Malone without having you
along. The interests of my client
are vitally involved. I pledge you
to make a complete disclosure of
whatever I find out. After I have
talked with her you may talk with
her, but T think you will agree it
may be much more possible to get
a complete statement from her if
I talk with her alone than if 1T
have an audience.”
Griff nodded, ‘“That,” he said,
“is fair enough.”
“Where,” askeq Bleeker, “can we
get in touch with you after vou
have finished your interview with
Mrs. Malone?” i
’ “T would suggest,” Fisher said,
“that yonu go to Mr. Griff's office
land wait there. I will telephons
la.s soon as I have #discovered any
thing of importance,”
- “My office,” Griff said, ‘“4s where
I live. It's a combination of bach
elor's apartment and office. T will
I‘glve you one of my cards and 1
[wm assign to you an unlisted fele
phone number. Whenever you call

' He took a card from his ecass,
'scribbled a telephone number on the
‘back of it, handea it to the attor
ney.
