'WOULD FORGIVE ANYTHING'
"I would forgive Betty everything

In the, world."
.Mrs. Elizabeth Bochrot. stood In the
nnrlor 'of .her little hoine ht 422 Levcr-

going to place Elizabeth in a public

ceded. "I'll raise Betty." she wild. Since
the grandmother tolled day In and out

The music of the daik-eyed girl's
laughter as she tripped in from school

child," the grandmother tmld. And

Washington. April (1. Tho Senate Is
likely to Investigate the finnnccs of tlc
Wood 'campaign unless the Wood man
agers in the -next few days open their
bookfi' to the public. A canvass of the
situation b'y '.senators who linvc made
the charges discloses a willingness on the
part of 'the Scnato to make' the Invest!--
gatlon.
The Miclileoa returns today, which
show that Wood has been swamped by
Johnson, are adding torcc to the dc
mnnd for Inquiry.- The result tuero
shows thnt the industrial elements arc
supporting the more radical and liberal
candidates and will listen to chnrges of
money influence upon candidates in a
way that might make ueneral vxood a
dnngcrous enndidote for his party unless
his expenditures nro explained nnd jus
tified In the public eye.
It Is not merely the Johnson victory
which shows the drift of industrial
onlnion. but tile Hinnshlnc of Palmer.
who carries the burden of his coal strike
injunction j tho strength of Hoover In
both nartles. running upon the issue
of liberalism, nnd the big vote for Mc
Adoo nnd Brvnn, who tried to keep their
names out of the Michigan rnce, which
makes Republicans In the Sennte feel
that they must clear their party of
the charge of presenting an ovcrfinanced
candidate.
Johnson's victoi-y in Michlgnn for the
time nt, lcnst changed the whole aspect
of the Republican rnce for the presi
dential nomination.
Wood Bnndwagon Stopped
Tho Wood bnndwagon Is stopped. And
Wood's progress depended upon success
In mnklng the politicians believe thnt
Wood was pretty likely to win. Michi
gan's vote is going to make it more
difficult for him to carry Nebraska and
Indiana and make an impressive show
ing in Ohio.
A short time ngo the Wood managers
asked Billy Sundnv's son Oeorge. as
press agent nt Chicago, to put some
"jazz" into the WViod campaign, ns
young Sunday expressed it. Well Michi
gan hns knocked n tremendous amount
of "jazz" out of that campaign.
Wood Is not defeated. He still, In
the opinion of nil Washington observers,
has the best clinnec of any of the Re
publican candidates. Johnson will have
to repeat in Nebraska, which now looks
likely enoiiRh. Hnrdlng will hnve to hold
Ohio and Wood will hnve to be stopped
In Indiana before Wood Is bended off
from the nomination. If nil that can
he done, the convention will be dead
locked nnd thero will come out of It
probably the nomination ot some one
other thnn the four lt-ndlng Republican
candidates, Hoover perhnps, or It niny
be Sproul. That Is the way tho situ
ation looks to Washington nfter the
revelation of the weak spot in Wood's
armor.
Money Wood's Weak Spot
This weak snot is not militarism, not
his advocacy of universal military train
ing, as tho politicians first guessed, but
money. It was tho charge made by
Johnson and Bornh that Wuod hnd the
support of tho moneyed Interests and
wns spending altogether too much
upon his cammiljn that caused the great
overturn in Michigan.
For Johnson's victory was a great
overturn. A few weeks ngo Wood was
unmistakably ahead in Michigan. So
great was the leud that even Senator

"It Is just a move to clear up

These men would not let opera go from

that the diicctors of the opera house

Maycnce, April 0. French troops en
tered Frankfort-on-Moln at 5:20
o'clock this morning, finding only a
small German force, left there to afford
police protection for the people. The
occupation of the city was a mere mili
tary march nnd was not attended by
any fighting.
Darmstadt was entered at 7 o'clock
by French forces. The occupation was
effected without Incident. The German
government garrison of that city had
left at midnight to avoid contact with
the French, nnd this morning wns six
miles east of the city.
Tanks entered Frankfort first, fol
lowed by a battalion of sharpshooters
and a company of engineers. These
troops occupied strategic points and the
railroad station. Half a dozen tanks
were posted near tlic station ond tho
barracks. Another force was stationed
near police headquarters and the post

ing the cavalry had reached Eckcnhelra

with detachments of infantry for oc
cupation of the various centers nnd
