After Curran had disenssed the
Cathcart and Craven case from its

brought in from her room for an in-

“Craven must be deported if I am.
This is too cruel and the British gov-

"If I am guilty he is guilty. Of

Earlier in the day Countess Nina
wife of the Earl of Craven had said:
"The past is dead. I have no feel-

rival though everybody knows she
has caused me many hours of grief
and suffering. My husband and 1

by some trifle of colored paper. Years
will roll backward and visions of boy-
hood and girlhood eume again.
With what trepidation will the
shrill of the postman’s whistle stir
some fluttering heart? With what
eagerness and secret trembling will
the envelope of the mysterious mis-
sive be broken. And with what a
glow of pride and secret exultation
will the gilt and vari-colored enclosure
all lacy and dazzling breathing anient
vows of fidelity or hope be eagerly
displayed.
And then as evening shadows fall
mysterious tapping on the window
pane or the ringing of the door bell
the noise of scurrying of feet and the
scrawled none too clean always en-
velope slipped underneath the door-
way. A breathless lurking in the
shadows to see if "she” comes to the
door and gets the message and then
the anxious hours until a reply is re-
ceived.
And then the comics!
Bah. the comic valentine has no
part in St. Valentine's Day and his
real worshiper* scorn it for St. Valen-

anthropes. The only wounds he makes
! are the tender wounds of the heart
| that quickly heal in gladness and joy
I and mutual affection.
And so the world will pause in its
' mad hurry to pay tribute to the kind-
| ly saint who makes the world better
I and brighter for all the world loves a
lover.
i All hail St. Valentine!

CATHCART BAN ATTACKED
BY WOMAOPARTY HEAD
By ALICE PAUL ’
Director ot the National Woman's Party
WASHINGTON Feb. 13.—The ac-
tion of our immigration authoritiea in
barring the Countess of Cathcart
while allowing the Earl of Craven to
enter unquestioned Is a most astound-
ing piece of business.
If this absurd decision Is permitted
to stand it amounts to the American
government broadcasting that it be-
lieves in—and enforces—the double
standard of morality as between men
and women.
It is not a question of morality it
is a question of plain unvarnished
justice. Here is a case wherein two
married persons both mature both
educated both possessed of social po-
sition and presumably cultured eloped
to try things anew. The experiment
failed. The man leaves the woman
and returns to his wife who takes him
back. The woman cannot go back.
Her husband is granted a divorce.
The man comes with his wife is ad-
mitted without question to these free
United States.
The woman is tried convicted and
imprisoned at the country’s gates sim-
ply because she was honest" enough to
say in effect “Yes I sinned.”
Could anything be more absurd?
Could anything be more unjust? If
under our' laws one is barred is not
the other?
The morality part of it does not en-
ter. If we undertook to bar every one
from our shores who has sinned we
could dispense completely with all our
imjiortant immigration officials for
FRANCE FIXES TAX
ON RECEIVING SETS
PARIS Feb. 13.—Unfair tax dis-
crimination against Americans living
in France depriving United States
citizens of the benefit of tax exemp-
tions allowed French citizens and
other foreigners has been ended
through the work of L. Morgan Ham-
ilton. nephew of J. P. Morgan.
Although French citizens in the
United States have all the benefits
and privileges of American citizens so
far as taxes are concerned the French
government declared itself unable to
give Americans in France the same
treatment as citizens because the law
requires a specific tax reciprocity
treaty.

Countesd Fiance
Dejected Over Case
LONDON Feb. 13—Ralph Neale
British novelist and fiance of Vera-
Countess Cathcart was dejected to-
night when he learned that his cabled
appeal for the release of the countcss.
addressed to President Coolidge had
been without avail.
“I have done everything possible
on this side of the ocean and now I
am ready to make the trip across the
Atlantic if I can do any good by. do-
ing so” said Neale.
“I am ready to make any sacrifice
necessary to aid my. fiancee who is
the victim of the worst sort of in-
justice that any woman can suffer.”
The case of Countess Cathcart con-
tinues to attract wide attention in
Great Britain and feeling is running
high in her favor. The United States
and its immigration authorities are
being subjected to bitter attacks.
Even Mayfair the socially exclu-
sive center of Great Britain is rally-
ing to the side of the countess for
Mayfair believes that the countess
has already atoned for her ill-starred
romance with the Earl of Craven.
While there are loud demands for
retaliation from some quarters the
British government is sitting tight
and watching developments.
CHURCH TO HONOR

PROBE OF DRY
LEAGOE
ASKEO
Lawmaker Charges ‘Secret’
Organization Violates
American Laws.
WASHINGTON Feb. 13.—Sharp
shooting along the wet and dry front
got under way today with the intro-
duction of a resolution in Congress to
investigate the activities and prac-
tices of the Anti-Saloon League.
Today's firing was preliminary to
heavy cannonading next week with
the beginning of open Senate hearings
on the beer and wines bill and the
maas meeting of protest to be held
here agginst the Volstead law.
A move to subject the Anti-Saloon
League to congressional scrutiny was
made by Representative Fred Britton
of Chicago. He accused it of violating
the corrupt practices act of being a
secret organization whose methods
were illegal and of obtaining money
under false pretenses while masquer-
ading under “a religious cloak.”
Britten would have bis investiga-
tion conducted by a joint committee
of three senators and five representa-
tives.
The resolution set forth that the
league "has attempted to influence
federal judicial appointments hns
publicly denounced judges and de-
cisions” and has so impressed its “in-
sidious influence” upon the treasury
that "appointments of persons under
the prohibition commissioner have been
only with the sanction and approval
of the league.”
The most specific charge that Brit-
ten levelled at the league was that it
had contributed heavily to the cam-
paign funds of Andrew J. Volstead
father of the law. “with the support
of the Methodist church.”
rpHE stage is set for the annual re-
* vival of “Spring is Here!” And no
season has ever been started with such
an all-star cast. The finest Hats at
value-giving prices—such is the case!

Hunters Trail
‘Deer’ 10 Miles
And Find Cow
GREENSBURG Pa. Feb. 13.
A party of hunters returned here
this morning after a hunting
trip of fwo weeks in the moun-
tains.
A story was told that one af-
ternoon a member of the party
noticed large hoof prints in the
snow.
“Looks like a deer and a big
one at that” he exclaimed.
Other members of the party
examined the tracks and suggest-
ed that they be followed. After
walking over the hills about ten
miles the party was about to
give up when they sighted an
open place and the end of the
tracks.
There stood a red cow.

public service company’s standpoint.
Neither of the schedules submitted
by the gas company they declared
provided for reductions which would
warrant their acceptance by the com-
mission.
Under the new proposal Mayor Tob-
in said the small consumer is given
the benefit of the reduction as well as
the user of industrial gas. It should
prove a boon to the former and attract
more factories here he added.
If the public service company de-
clines to accept the proposed sched-
ule the commissioners and mayor id-
dicated that they are willing to take
their chances before the courts or the
railroad commission confident that
they will come out victors. They ex-
pressed the hope however that a set-
tlement can be reached without re-
course to litigation.
