There Is net the sllzhtest doubt as te

UnVfJ,V.d-r.0n' v ft,,
Senater Iinrrj S. New. of Indiana,
was among the opponents of the legis-
latlen who believed the Senate would
enact the bill ever a veto.
It was the view of many Senators
that the vigor with which Pre-ldcnt
Harding condemned the legislation and
his references te its effect en the fiscal
affairs of the country would have most

frankly admits that It was she who
was seen entering the Hall home In
the early hours of Inst Friday. She has
a perfectlj clear explanation as te why
Mie had been out of her home.
"Her husband, who had always been

he did net believe he had a home there

wife and choir singer, who lay slain
beside him. The "Charlette'' nnd
"Den" mentioned are Mrs. Mills' chil

"Dearest: There isn't a mnn who
can even make me smile. As you said
tedny, our hearts are as true as steel.
