Wheeler Raps Stam!pat Demos j Montana Solon Suggests a Union Between Progressives and His Group. Washington, Den 17.—The Junior senator from Montana, Burton IC. Wheeler, democrat, called upon the progressive members of his party hi the senate to forsake their reactionary leaders. He predicted that perseverance in the path the democratic party is now walking in will compel the formation of a third party and the wiping out of the old parties from the political map next November. Senator Wheeler was elected to the 68th congress on the democratic tick et but there was no voter in Mon tana that did not know that he would come to that congress as an openly declared progressive. Only a few days of h^ first term in congress had passed when, having notified his party leaders In the sen ate that the only assignment he cared to have and proposed to have was membership an the interstate com merce committee, he forced them to give it to him—and Immediately went into action to prevent Senator Cum mins of Iowa retaining the chairman ship of that committee. Cross Party lanes. Senator Wheeler said: "The people of this country are now divided into two great camps politically, progressives and reaction aries, those who believe we should change our laws to meet new condi tions, and those who believe the laws made by our forefathers should be left as they were many years ago. "The people are likewise divided into two great groups economically, those who produce and those who pro ks.duce nothing. All those who are at fected in the same manner econom ically. should be in the same group po litically: but today we find just the reverse to be true. In other words, we find progressives and reactionaries In the republican party and reaction aries and progressives In the demo cratic party. Condemns Reactionaries. "There should be a new alignment of parties. Either those progressives in the republican party must control the destinies of that party and the progressives of the country support them, or they should join the pro gressive forces of the democratic party and help to make it more re sponsive to the needs of the people. There is no room In this country for two reactionary parties and whether the so-called politically wise see it or not, the people are thoroughly awake to the situation. "There is no difference between the reactionary democrats and the reac tionary republicans in congress.. It would seem that the progressive ele ments should prove sufficiently strong to form a third party that could win in the elections next fall. But party lines have proved too strong in the east and south in the past. It Is doubtful, therefore, that the unorganized majority of the peo ple could win against the organized! minority of reaction. "Economic changes have greatly modified the old alignment. The west no longer clings to the apron strings of the east. The economic interests of the west and the south are similar. ^The only hope of the country is for the progressive forces of the south to join the progressive forces of the west and shake off the shackles of the absentee financial landlords that dwell in New York.” Rebels Reported Near Mexico City - Civilian Army Said Rratly to Seize Government Ar senals and Buildings.

The rebels claim a victory near Acapulco, state of Guerrero, where the federal forces were said to have been captured. They claim further more that order prevails in all din trlcts held by the revolutionaries.

Rerlin, Dec. 17.—The bold dash of1 German Industrial captains led by Hugo Stinnes and associates, backed up by the farmers and Junker agrar ians to get possession of Germany's vast network of governmentally owned railways, has received a tem porary setback. Stinnes and his asso ciates together with the farmers and junkers sought to take advantage of the present critical financial situa tion to force the government to sell the railways to a private corporation organised by themselves. In an effort to circumvent this move.

Protestant Episco pal Preacher Defies Bishop Manning. Br/AuodllNl Press. New’ York, Dec. 17,—Putting aside the vestments of priesthood and step ping Into the pulpit In the black robe of the doctor of divinity. Dr. Leighton Parks, 71-year-old rector of St. Bartholomew Protestant Episcopal church Sunday challenged t'he Virgin birth of Christ and the bodily resur rection. He declared he would wel come a trial by Bishop Manning of the New York diocese. Dr. Parks, who has been for 20 years rector at t’he fashionable Park Avenue church, rejected the recent pastoral letter Issued by the house of bishops of the denomination. The letter, calling on the clergy to uphold the "Catholic tradition" of the church and the Nlcene creed, was declared by Dr. Parks to he autocratic. After this letter had been read pur suant to requirements, Dr. Parks be gnn his address by saying he wore no vestments because he appeared "not as your minister, hut ns a doc tor of theology." He conducted his earlier services In his vestment. Declaring the Integrity of the i lergy was at stake, Dr. Parks asked: "Am I, who have preached the fair for BO years, to be called dishonest because I do not agree with my bishop? "Am I to be accused of heresy be . ause I preach doctrines for which :here Is ample foundation In the scrip tures? Are bishops the sole deflners of the faith? If they are. I have no right to speak. "Not one teaching of this church can he changed by one bishop or by ull the bishops put together. Their authority Is carefully restricted, and when the English church broke away from the Catholic religion. It gave to each minister an equal authority with the bishop. For them to behave is final deflners of the Christian faith is contrary to constitutional law.” Crain Exports Higher.

SYNOPSIS Stell* bulla* separated from her lnm- J bund. and her daughter, l.mirel. IS. live in the "cheapest room” of a fashionable . hotel In Milnnmnton. In the iiarlore. where she passe* much time reading. ( Laurel overhear* scornful reference* to t her mother made by Mirial leader* In the hotel world Both mother and daugh ter are always smartly dressed when tney go together to the dining room. Laurel goe* on a \lsit to her father In New York and he leave* her ut the home of Mr* Morrison, n friend, while he Is away on a trip to Chicago. (Continue-t From Yesterday.) It was fas« mating to watch her do her hair. She would take out four or five hairpins from it, shake her head till the hair frll soft to her shoulders, brush the shining mass hastily a minute, twist it up, and stick the four or five hairpins back again, hardly looking into the mirror at all. Laurel had thought Mrs. Morrison lovely to look at the first time she saw her a year ago. at the hotel, but ladies were often lovely to look at when they were dressed up. The amazing thing about Mrs. Morrison was that she was lovely to look at always, even in the early morning, even before she got up! She wasn't young. At least X,aurel didn't think she was young. She was old enough to he Con's mother, and Con was old er than Laurel. There were besides Just a few gray hairs. You didn’t see them till she let her hair down. She had beautiful hair—dark, al most black. At night beneath the strong light of the silk-shaded lamp by the piano, it was like the breast of a dark-feathered pigeon in the sun shine—iridescent. She had long, slen der fingers—very white, and long, slender arms, and a long, slender neck. The line of her neck in profile had Just the same curve from her throat to the tip of her chin (which was usually lifted! as the lady's in the moon. And she did her hair low. Just like the lady in the moon, and it fluffed the same way, too. about her brow and ears, for she wore no net. She was like moonlight in lots of ways, laurel concluded. Almost no color at all in her cheeks. And the dress she wore the first evening was pale yellow. And she didn't wear a single ornament to brighten it up. Occupying the same room with Mrs. Morrison, It took much less time than otherwise for Laurel’s shyness to wear away. Perhaps Mrs. Morrison was aware with what amazing rapid ity the homely processes of dressing build up an intimacy. But, whether or not her motive was to win her way into Laurel's confidence the more quickly, or simply to take every pre caution In guarding the child against homesickness, twice the number of hours spent in the drawing room or garden would not have X>een suffl clent to establish the degree of fa miliarity which made It possible for Laurel to put 'into words many of her questions and wonderings before she had been three days a guest of Mrs. Morrison. "Have you a Permanent?" she asked bluntly the. third morning as she sat gazing at Mrs. Morrison, seat ed before the aitar llka dressing ta ble with nothing on it but two candle sticks and an old silver box, and four or five tortoiseshell hairpins. "Yes." Mrs. Morrison replied, smil ing, "but not the kind you mean. I was born with mine.” Still gazing, Laurel inquired a mo ment later. “Don’t you even use rouge, or an eyebrow pencil?" "No." "Why not?" "Oh. I don’t know. Why do yon ask. Ijturel?" "No reason. I was only wonder ing." Then after a pause I^auret added. "I think you'd be lovely with pink cheeks " "I would lie nicer, wouldn't I?" she agreed, and she stuck In the last hairpin, got up. gathered together a few muslin things from a drawer near by (she put on clean clothes every morning—her laundry bill must be terrific), and, wrapped round In a lemon-colored chlna-cltk kimono, passed Into one of the little twin Imthrooms adjoining, and closed the door. Laurel heard the click of enamel handles being turned, the violent gush of a stream of water in the marble shower bath, and a second or two later, or so it seemed. Mrs. Mor rison reappeared, as fresh as a pond lily In her crisp lingerie. laurel inquired of her. "If you think you'd be nicer with pink cheeks, then why <^n't you make them pink?" “Oh. It takes such a lot of time!” laughed Mrs. Morrison. "And then, besides." she added, "I would always !>e getting them spoiled. I like to be outdoors so much, digging In the gar den. rlillng horseback, romping with the boys In all sorts of weather. If 1 did use rouge. laurel," she went on more seriously, "and an eyebrow pen ell, as you suggested, I should want to do It exquisitely, like an artist, so that no one's sense of beauty could possibly he offended." "Offended?" "Yes. To some people paint and powder on the human face is dls tasteful." "Is it?” "Like paint and powder on the petals of a flower. 1 suppose." “Oh!" There was a long pause. Laurel broke it at last. "Is that why you haven’t a string of pearls?" "Is what why. Laurel?" "Because pearls on your neck would he to some people like pearls on flowers?" "Oh. no,” Helen Morrison replied managing not even to smile. "I haven't a string of pearls because they’re so expensive.” “Imitation pearls aren't very ex pensive." "Oh, imitation!" Laurel considered. Her mother had often told her that her pearls and Imitation diamond barpin would pass for the genuine articles anywhere. “They look just like the real ones," she told Mrs. Morrison. "Oh, no. Laurel, not to a person who knows pearls. They lack Inner beauty, just as a wax figure lacks soul. To the really discerning they're ns lifeless and unbeautift^l us that." Then, with a sudden happy inspira tion. as she thought, Helen Morrison added, "Your mother has trimmed several of your pretty dresses with narrow filet lace, hut there isn't an Inch of imitation filet.” No, of course not, because imita tlon filet "never fooled anybody." Laurel's mother had often told her In fact, she had said, and only a short fortnight ago, that there wasn't anything a woman could make more show with, at present, than a lot of splashy real lace, or anything that could kill her socially as surely as the Imitation stuff. Laurel wondered if to the really discerning her mother's Imitation pearls were like Imitation filet. 2 The next day Laurel asgea .Mrs Morrison If she had ever seen her mother. Her mother's narde by then was mentioned with perfect ease be tween them. "No. I never have, Laurel.” said Mrs. Morrison. “Tell me about her." They were walking in the garden. “Is she like you?” “Oh, no,” said Laurel. "She's not the least like me. She hasn't a single freckle. And her hair Is yellow. She was born with It yellow, like you with your Permanent." Which was true. Mrs, Dallas had not tampered with the color of her hair as yet. “Her eyes," laurel went on, “are blue— the color of that little blue pitcher you said was Delft, that you used one morning at breakfast And her skin is like the cream in it." “She must be lovely." "Oh. she is, she is." flashed Laurel. “Haven't you her picture?" “No. Not here." After a pause Laurel added gravely. “I never brine her picture to New York when 1 come to see my father " It was the first reference she had made to the relation that ex-sted be tween her mother and father. But Mrs. Morrison made as casual a re ply of It, as if it had been a frequent topic of conversation between them. “Of cours# you don't. 1 didn't think for a minute. Naturally it's kinder not to." Oh. how easy It was to talk to Mrs. Morrison! Questions laurel had long wanted to know the answers to crowded to her lips. “Why are my mother and fatter different from oth er mothers and fathers? Why don't they lire together? Why aren't peo pie nice to my mother" And why are they nice to tny father?" But she didn't allow one of them to escape Not yet. Nor did Mrs. Morrison allow a queati' n to escape either. They simply walked on In silence till they came to a turn in the garden path where some late pansies were blooming "Let's pick some." said Mrs. .Mor rison. “Let's. " said T-aurel, and they leaned down together over the low growing flowers Laurels, heart was beating fast she could feel It Between herself and this lovely lady the gossamer like bond • of sympathy, as delicate at first as a thread of a spider's web had become now as strong as the ■ilk cable pearls are strung on. It would bear actual spoken words about her father's and mother's separation' “Is there anything in the world softer tlmn the petal of a pansy?' remarked Mrs. Morrison, pressing one of the flowers against her lips, and gently drawing It across them. Laurel laid a flower against her Ups, too, and. closing her eyes, tike DO YOU LIKE GOOD MUSIC?

Mrs. Morrison broke Into a laugh "Dear delightful laurel! That’s so' That's so!" And suddenly she took hold of one of laurel’s hands and drew the back of that, too, across her Ups. and kissed it That playful little kiss of Helen Morrison’s on the back of Laurel's hand made Laurel's world whirl round her giddily for a moment. No one had ever kissed her on the hand before! It was a caress entirely dif ferent from an ordinary kiss upon the lips. She felt exalted, like a young knight in armor before his lady. She wished she dared kneel on the ground and kiss the hem of Mrs. Morrison's firess! S. Laurel wondered a great deal about Mrs. Morrison’s husband, and finally one day concluded to Inquire about him. "Is your husband away on busi ness?" she began politely. "Why. no. Didn't you know? Didn't your father tell you?" Laurel shook her head. "No, father has told me nothing." "He is not living. Laurel," gently Mrs Morrison announced. “Oh," said laurel. "Of course." she went on. ”1 knew he wasn't real ly away on business, because of the drawers in the chiffonier being per fectly empty, and the rloset beside yours, too, where you hung my things. But I didn’t see any pictures of him around, so I thought per haps you were separated.” "The portrait in the big gold frame in the living room is a picture of him, Laurel, and that's a copy of It, in the silver frame on my dress lng table." "Is he your husband?" exclaimed Laurel. She had studied the portrait. The man in the jiortrait looked like a grandfather! He had long drooping mustaches, almost white, and the sockets of his eyes hung down like the eyes of a hunting hound Laurel had seen In the Maine woods once. "Yes. Why?" "He looks too old for you!” "Does he? Well, he was older, hut. oh, eve so kind, and the father of my dear boys, and,” she added after a pause, “the father of my little girl, too." "Your little girl?” "Yes, Laurel, my only little girl. She died, before she was old enough to walk without holding tight onto one of mv fingers.” "What was her name?” “Carol." "How old would she be?" "About as old as you. I think." "Did she have light hair, or dark?” "Dark." (Continued In The Morning Bee. Crooks Attend “The Eye’s” Burial Chicago.
