Norris Now Keeps
Silent on Charge
He Stole, “Smack”
Senator From Nebraska Re
tires Within Senate Cham
ber and Refuses to Dis
cuss Incident.
By T. C. POWELL,
Washington Correspondent Omaha Bee.
Washington, May 25.—Following
his tempestuous outburst Saturday
when Mrs. E. A. Edmundson of
Decatur, Ala., chided him about being
kissed by a 16 year-old girl near
Muscle Shoals, Senator Norris retired
to the senate chamber and remained
there all afternoon, steadfastly refus
ing to be called from the chamber to
further discuss the incident which
had aroused his ire in the morning.
Senator McNary of Oregon, how
ever, Issued a statement in behalf of
the senior Nebraska senator, describ
ing the incident as trivial and only
made serious by Senator Norris’ an
ger. The Oregon senator stated that
the incident could not be harmful
unleks, as Norr.s Intimated, it was
brought to light before the senate ag
ricultural committee In an attempt to
discredit Norris in his fight against
the Ford Muscle Shoals offer.
In the afternoon. Senator Norris
talked for two hoirs against accep
tance of the conference committee
report on the tax bill which struck
out his amendment calling for pub
licity on tax returns. In final vote
on acceptance of the report Senator
Howell voted to accept the report
while Senator Norris voted against
acceptance.
"I suppose many will take advan
tage of my objections to say I was
against the bill, which in many re
spects is a good measure,” Senator
Norris said.
As for the kissing Incident, it. Is
not known whether the senator will
ignore it in the future, treat it as a
joke, as every one else here appears
to do, or issue a statement and at
tempt to prove it was premedltnted
as He charged in committee this
morning.
The incident is said to have occur
red during an inspection trip made
to Muscle Shoals by Senator Norris
and others several months ago.

“Pajama Party” Figures in Slaying
of 19-Year-Old Girl School Teacher
By Intrnatienal New* Service
Amherst, Me., May 25.—A rusty
spads may furnish the clue that will
lead to a solution of the five-day mys
tery surrounding the killing of Louise
Gerrish, winsome 19-year-old school
teacher.
With this spade, one of the most
commonplace implements that hns
ever taken central position In a mur
der drama, the murderer dug a shal
low grave which later yielded the
bvckahot-pitted form of the teacher.
Until it had been found, the net
of circumstantial evidence had tight
ened Itself around Robert Stevenson,
an 18-year-old high school boy, who
had watched the girl when ahe was
a member of a "pajama party’’ and
who had written her a letter, taunt
ing her with her behavior on that oc
casion.
He was held for questioning, and
had admitted that he watched the
teacher and two girl friends as they
staged mad Impromptu dances, pa
Jama-clad, and had tied a note to a
bush which Miss Gerrish would pass
on her way to school.
Body Found Near Bush.
The girl's body was found later near
this bush, and young Stevenson was
involved In the probe because—In the
absence of any other tenable solution
—hjs action In taunting the girl was
one that might have led to a quarrel.
There was no trace of the gun, and
no other clue until the finding of the
spade.
Today, after this discovery. Sheriff
Ward announced that the high srhool
boy had been exonerated and was free.
He joined County Attorney William
Whiting In predicting an arrest with
in a few Lours.
The killing occurred Tuesday. Now,
for the first, time, officials were
willing to venture a "reconstruction
of the crime.”
Signs of Struggle.
The murderer, they declared, was
a man the girl knew well, and one
she apparently trusted. There, were
signs that a struggle occurred not far
from the grave.
After the girl entered the woods,
the sheriff believes, an attack was
made on her and she defended herself,
then broke sway and fled. Realizing
that she could not escape, the teacher
turned to plead with her assailant.
Enraged by then, beyond self-control,
the man fired.
When the girl's body crumpled at
his feet he then dragged it but a short
distance before casting it into a shal
low grave.

The Dishonest Watchman
Sammy Jay Is one of the watch
men of the Green Forest. Probably
no one warns his neighbors of enemies
as often as does Sammy Jay. His
sharp eyes miss little. All his neigh
bors, both those In feathers and those
in fur, have learned to watch, out
when they hear Sammy Jay cried,
"Thief! Thief! Thief!'' More than once
Sammy has saved lives by his timely
warning.
It has been the same way In the
Old Orchard. Time and again Black
Pussy has been discovered by those
sharp eyes of Sammy’s just in time
j
“It rouldn't be better,” he said.
to prevent her from catching some
one. It he who had warned all
the Old Orchard when Chatterer the
Red Squirrel had tried to roll the
nest of Mrs. Flicker. So you se.
Sammy is a watchman.
Now every one is expected to be
honest. But especially is a watchman
expected to be honest. It is a watch
man's business to watch for those who
are dishonest. Sammy Jay knew
what Chatterer was after. He knew
that Chatterer was trying to steal
eggs. To have heard hint screaming.
"Thief! Thief! Thief: at Chatteret
you would have thought that he was
terribly shocked by what Chatterer
had been trying to do.
But Sammy Ja^- wasn't shocked.
The truth is, Sammy was no better
than Chatterer himself. He had
helped to drive Chatterer out of the
Old Orchard for wholly selfish rea
sons. He hadn't cared a flirt of his
tail about saving thoae eggs for the
ones they belonged to. lie wanted to
save those eggs for himself. Yes, sir,
that is Just what he wanted. He had
followed Chatterer to the edge of the
Green Forest, all the time crying,
"Thief: Thief! Thief!" Then when
Chatterer had disappeared Sammy
had ailently flown away.
When he was off by himself Sammy
Jay had chuckled. "It. couldn't ite
better," said he. "No. sir. It couldn't
he better. I had been hoping that
Chatterer would try to get some of
those eggs in the Old Orchard. I
hope he’ll try again. I shall keep
sharp watch over there. If he does
try again I'll he right on hand to
give warning. Then when I get. a
good chance I'll get some of those
eggs myself. I'll do It when no one
is around. Then when those eggs
are missed every one will he sure
that they were taken by Chatterer.
No one will suspect me."
Of course this was a dreadful thing
that Sammy was planning. Not only
was he planning to he dishonest and
to rob his feathered neighbors, but
lie was planning that another should
he blamed for his dishonesty. Noth
ing could be worse. But Sammy di^n t
think of it as dishonesty. He thought
of It simply as smartness. It is that
way with the little people of the
Green Forest snd the Green Meadows.
They all believe that they have n
right to what they are smart enough
to get.
So Sammy first went to see that
Mrs. Jay was on her nest. Sh» was.
Sammy knew that under her were
four eggs. He was almost as proud of
those four eggs as «h* was. Then
Sammy flew hack to the Old Orchard
and perched where he could see all
that was going on there. Already
he knew where most of the nests
were. He knew which ones were fin
ished snd had eggs In them. Ho
watched the ownere of these nests.
But chiefly he watched for the re
turn of Chatterer the Red Squirrel.

Washington. May 25.—An amended
proposal for American membership in
the world court has been approved
by the senate foreign relations rom
mtttee and plared on the calendar
of the senate where it is expected to
repose undisturbed during the two
remaining weeks of the session.
Acting Just 15 months to the day
after it received the membership pro
posal of President Harding, the rom
mittee reported by a party vote a
resolution requiring that American
membership be conditioned on amend
ment of the world court statute to di
vorce the tribunal completely from
the league of nations, and providing
in addition that this country reserve
to Itself the Monroe doctrine and
others of its cherished policies.
The resolution was prepared hy
Senator Pepper, republican, Pennsyl
vania, who said It was bullded on the
foundation laid down by President
Harding and approved by President
Coolidge. On the committee roll call
it commanded the support of Chair
man Lodge and all of the republican
irrecoiiciiahles, hut one. Senator John
son of California, alone leaving his
party leadership to oppose if. Sena
tor Shlpstead of Minnesota, the farm
er labor member, also supported the
proposal but said ho did not approve
it and would lay before the senate
shortly a peace plan of hla own.
The democratic members, standing
together, opposed the Pepper plan end
gave notice they would bring in a
resolution designed to follow more
closely the recommendations of the
two republican presidents. Their
proposal, which provides for the reser
vations framed by Secretary Hughes
but not for amendment, of the court
statute itself, was voted down in the
committee, with only democratic sen
ators and Senator I^nroot, republi
can, Wisconsin, supporting It.

of an entirely new court through the
agency of a new Hague conference

Prize Beauty Decides to Delay
Decision to Take Second Husband
New York, May 25.—There was a
dinner in the Chinese temple at Madi
son Square Garden Saturday night.
At that dinner on the stroke of
midnight Alvoe McCormick, so-called
Nebraska prize beauty, was to give
her decision to Charles Victor Miller,
the gallant swain who sought her
hand with a love note in the form
of a $1,000,000 collection of pearle—
at least that's what Mlllpr said they
were worth.
But midnight came—and passed.
The dinner was held and it was con
siderable dinner—It must have been
to last until midnight.
But for some reason or other Alyce
delayed her decision.
Maybe she's waiting for a jeweler's
inspection of the $1,000,000 pearls.
Maybe it's because the Fashion
show is over, and the show's press
agent decided his job ended with the
closing of the show.
Maybe Alyce has got a sweetie out
in Nebraska.
Maybe Alyce has decided that once
Us enough and has decided she doesn't
care to tackle married life again.
Maybe Alyce decided Miller’s age
—he's over 60—would make It too
much like a May and December af
fair.
Maybe Alyoe was sad and melan
choly because her brief career as an
art fashion model ended with the
closing of the fashion show.
And then msybe Alyce figured she'd
succeeded In gaining enough publicity
tn present her case to the vaudeville
managers, and didn't need to shoot
at the front page any more.
Oh, well, what's a husband more
or less, particularly to * so-called
prize beauty who had one once.
