3 Must Die for / Plot to Poison x All at School Former Head of Chinese Nor mal School Body and 2 Cooks Sentenced to Death. By AnorWnl Pres*. Shanghai, Aug. 12.—Yu Kr-Heng, former head of the Students' Self-Qov erment association of the Hangchow Xormai school, and two cooks, Chien Ah-Ll and Pi Ho-Song, were sentenced to'death today by the Hangchow dis trict court for participation in a plot to poison the entire student body at the school. The plot resulted in the deaths of 27 persons and the illness of scores of other teachers and students last February. Testimony at the trial disclosed that Yu was facing exposure of a shortage of $200 in his accounts as chairman of the student organization and that he undertook to kill everyone at the school to cover up his shortage. He was alleged to have bribed the cooks to steal arsenic from the laboratory of the school and to put it in rice served at the opening supper of'the school term. The cooks, shortly after their arrest, declared they had been paid $30 by Y'u for_ their share in the plot. Balance Maintained by G. 0. P. Candidates (Continued From P»*e One.) sons delegations will be under the control of roughly the same senators and leaders who nominated Harding, r AVith such control they think they can watch Coolidge and give him the nomination or withdraw it from him, according to their judgment Of his acts and deserts and especially ac cording to their approval or disap proval. of his attitude toward them. Subject to Change. That is the situation so far as there can be said to be a plan. It is subject to change. Most par ticularly it is subject to what Cool idge's friends may do toward going after the nomination aggressively. Also it is subject, obviously, to the impression Coolidge may make on the general public. As regards Johnson, his main chance of an opening for throwing his hat in the ring depends to a large degree on Coolidge giving him an issue by taking any step on the international court or in the field of foreign relations contrary to John son's principles as an isolationist. Because Senator Moses of New Hampshire came out for Coolidge last week, soon after talking with Coolidge, there has been acute sus picion on the part of friends of the international court that Coolidge must have given Moses assurances satisfactory to him as an extreme enemy of the court. President Now Listens. This inference is a joke. For one thing, the public must now learn to give a new and extremal^ restricted meaning to the words “talking with *^he president." Under the new regime that phrase means that the caller talks and the president listens. For another thing it would be contrary to everything fundamental in Coolidge's habit of mind It he should give such an as surance or jf he should take at so early a date a definite stand on the world court. It sufficiently explains Moses’ move to remember that New Hampshire is a New Englind and as such almost as much under obligation to be for Coolidge as Massachusetts Itself. Also it Coolidge should later endorse the court, Moses could then lie In the even stronger position of raising his hands to heaven and disavowing Cool idge' for his conscience sake. .

Marise and her father visit Pari-, where Marise meets an American girl. Eugenia Mill** from \rkniisas. They go together to M. A an Hover. Eugenio'* instructor In French. A rather stormy scene takes place when Eugenia expresses dissatisfaction with the Instruction she i* receiving, and M. han dover tells her he will find another in - structor for her. Eugenia held in. her hand the sealed envelope which contained the usual foe for a lesson, and nowr looked down at it. uncertain whether she dared offer it. He saw her glance at it, and relieved her of her uncertainty, “No, no fee today, Miss Mills. I have given you no lesson.” As they passed be fore him, ho added under his breath, “No lesson, that Is, that will be of any value to you.” Marise glancing over Iter shoulder, saw him turn at once to the easel and reach for his palette and brushes. He had dropped them from his mind It was the airy, finishing touch to their humiliation. She burned with anger and shame. They groped their way down the darkened stairs in silence, neither trusting herself to speak, lest she burst into teams. A door opened upstairs, laughing voices sounded on the landing above. The two girls drew apart and moved towards the door hand In hand. Tf Mme. de la Cueva had been crying and Marise guessed that she was get ting ready to have a new husband. She seemed to have had bad luck in husbands. The one who had just been put to the door was the second Marine had known in the four years of her study with the pianist, and there had been at least two before that. It was a terrible grief to her always to find out that she no longer cared for the one she had; but she faced the facts with courage, allow ing herself no dissembling, no bour geoise timidity. The obi one disap peared, and in a few months a new one was there. "Good day, my child," said the pian ist affectionately, pulling Marise down to kiss her on both cheeks. "No les son today nor tomorrow." she spoke solemnly, the tears in her eyes. She began to cry openly. Marise sat down by her. startled out of her own mood of resentment. “Why, dear Madame de la Cueva, why?” she asked. "What has hap pened?" "I am going to America,” said the older woman. "Georges Noel and I are booked for a concert tour of the world. We will be married in Aus tralia." The Inevitable first thuoght of the magnifirent egotism of youth was of itself. "Why, what shall 1 do?" cried Marise aggrieved. Mme. de la Cueva did not resent this. She never resented anything which she recognized as natural. And this seemed to her pre eminently nat ural and proper. She took Marlse's hand In hers tenderly, maternally. “It Is for your good, my dear child, the change, though I know how you will miss me. You need some one else. A year with the old Visconti will be the making of you." "The old Visconti!" cried Marise, "but he lives in Rome!" "But it Is perfectly possibly for oilier people to live in Rome, too! My dear child, a year hi Rome at your age ... it will lie the making of you! You will always bless your poor old de la Cueva who secured it for you. Youth, talent, beauty. Rome!" she drew "the picture with envious ad miration of its possibilities. There was no use trying to reason with her, as one would with any one else, Marise knew that from experi ence—no use trying to show the ma terial, practical obstacles in the way. What would her father say? How could she go alone to Rome to live?

How like Mme. de ia Cueva to dispose of her so calmly! Even as Marise said all this to herself, she was aware by a sudden warm gusli of pleasure nnd excitement in her heart that she was delighted beyond measure with the plan, that she had been longing for some change in her life, that she hail bben growing deathly stile In the same old round, the absurdly life and death consultations with Biron in the kitchen, the same old professors at the Sorbonne with the same old glass of sugar-and-w ater and the same high keyed nasai delivery of the same old lectures, even Mme. de la Cueva with her same bid cliches about mass and bulk in the bass. She felt no guilt about this last, for if there was one person in the world who understood entirely the fatigue at the recurrence of the same old things, it was Mme. de la Cueva! The pianist looking at her young disciple with discerning and experienced eyes and smiled. ‘‘You have been working, working, working, and now it Is time to run a little free, my Marisette.". she said, patting her hand, ‘‘you are . . . how old?” ‘‘Twenty-one today," said Marise. "Exactly! As though fate had timed it. Very likely fate did." She had a great faith In fate provided one did not hang back before the doors fate set open before one. Per sonally she had never hesitated to step through every one that had been even ajar. "A year in Rbme with the old Vis conti, who has the most wonderful sense of rhythm of any man alive— the real, the living rhythm—the life, the personality of music! Make your self a docile little pair of ears and nothing else when he talks to you of rhythm! And pay no attention, none, do you hear, to his fingering! It is infecte, ignoble! Then after a year, I shall be here again to see what else you need before f launch you—good old Mamon de la Cueva .will be thinking of you all the time. . . “But 1 am not in the least sure I can manage a year in Home," pro tested Marise, breaking in with a hurried protest against this taking for-granted of everything, "I never dreamed of going to Rome! My father . . ." "Oh, you can manage u, aiaaame de la Cueva assured her carelessly, “one can always manage whatever one really wants to do. Especially if it depends on a man.’’ She crossed the room now to pull at a bell cord and to order tea of the stout, elderly maid who came. Such*a cosmopolitan as Madame de la Cueva would of course have tea. “We shall have tea together, my dear, to celebrate your birthday and my new plans, and to have a last talk together, the last talk before you grow up.” “While Giuseppina is making our tea, I'll play to you.” she announced. She put her beautiful hands on the keys like a millionaire plunging his hands into a coffer of Jewels and offering a choice between pearls and rubies, "What will you have? What do you feel like?” Marlse felt more like an earth- | quake in full activity than anything else, and chose accordingly, "if I'm going to Rome for a year. I feel llkt fireworks,” she said with a rather j breathless laugh, “something Hun J garian . , . Liszt, perhaps." Giuseppina come in with the tea Madame de la Cueva turned round on the piano stool, a fat, elderly woman with three chins. “Xot so bad for the old lady, heln?" | she said, well pleased with herself j and with Marise's dazzled look. Marlse attempted no thanks, no comment. Silently, like a person hyp notized she took the proffered cup, nodding her desire for two lumps and lemon: and silently, like a per son hypnotized she listened to Mad ame de la Cueva s ipon'1'osue. The music like a rich wine had unloosed the musician's tongue In a mood like this she "turned the faucet and it ran.” "My little one.” shs said fondly to Marise. "my little one, so here you are on the beach ready to take the plunge—21 today. And your poor old de la Cueva w ill not be here to advise you. Oh. well, there's only one mis take that is worse than giving advice, and that is taking It. Never take anybody's advice, my darling, no body's at all." She drank the half of her cup of tea, not by any means noiselessly, wiped her mustache with the tiny, beautifully fine, embroidered tea nap kin, and hanging lovingly over the plate of patisseries, chose the fluffiest with a sigh of satisfaction.

Who profit* not by what ho learn* Sure trouble and misfortune earn*. —Old Mother Nature. The runaway young Chuck, who had had such a narrow escape from Kedtall the Hawk, hud had the first real fright of his life, and It had been a terrible fright. He was so frightened as he lay flat down on the ground under a thick hush that for a moment or two he didn't dare open his eyes. The last thing he eaw before he closed them was a terrible claws, fierce eyes, hooked bill and creature which seemed to be all great, flapping wings. To that ter rified little Chuck, Redtail had looked many times as big as he really was. When he did open his eyes again, the little Chuck at first saw nothing of his terrible enemy. Then he chanced to look up through the bush under which he was hiding, and there he saw Jledtall already high up in the sky. Had it not been that ns he watched he saw Redtail grow' smaller and smaller as he got fur -- _ Hf Hr sliilered as lie thought of those dreadful rlaws. there and further away, that little Chuck would have had hard work to believe that that could be the ter rible creature who had so nearly caught him. Now there is thus much about the little people of the Green Forest ami the Green Meadows: They get aust as terrible frights as boys and girls ever get, but they get over them a great deal quicker. The young Chuck got over his fright almost as soon as Red tail the Hawk was out of sight. He got over the fright, but he did a lot of thinking. "My mother was right, after all," said he to himself. "She knew what she was talking about, and she wasn't so silly as I thought she was when she made us go Into the house when ever that dreadful fellow was around. He didn’t look dreadful then, but I guess that was because he was so high up in the sky. T guess the trouble with me was that I wasn't watching up in the sky.

Ho shivered aa he thought of those dreadful claws. “I'll never be surprised that way again. No. sir, 1 never will. Here after I'll keep watch up in the sky.” After a while the young Chuck ventured to move on. He started to go baidc out In the middle of the I,ong 1.1 lie where it avas open and clear and so easy going. Then he hesitated. If I hadn't been out there seen me," thought he.
