CHAPTER I
It all began some 30 years
ago when a young Englishman
saw a maid, Mary Marriage, in
the upper hall of an old place
that is well known in England.
It was a spring day and per
haps that had something to do
with it; and she had a fine
/prettiness that he was to learn
was not echoed in her mind
or speech.
He kissed her and, because
he was young, he confused pas
sion and love; it is done often.
He kissed her again. "I love
you," he said, "and I don't
care who knows it!"
Then he looked up at the
old portraits on the walls of
the spacious hall and some
thing of tradition and set "habit
that thev implied made him
suggest a meeting that night
beyond the grounds. Mary,
poor child, was willing. He
was of the gentry and she of
the servant class. One said
"Yes" and "Thank you" to one's
betters. She stood plucking
at: the edge of her apron, even
then—through the gift of two
kisses—lost to love.
A month later the village
and the tenants celebrated the
young1 man's twenty-first birth
day. With that done he an
nounced his intention of "see
ing the world a bit" and start
ed for Italv where he had sent
Mary.
, In Italy they both learned
the length of the stretches be
tween passion which, while in
dulged, obliterates differences.
And futilely they strove to
hold that which had never been
theirs, save through imagina
tion; he with forced, hollow,
echoes of his old want for her
and she with pitiably little at
tempts at "conversation."
When she told him about
"the baby" he grew up. Some
thing that was good for him
happened to him when he saw
her sitting before him, sagged
and humbie and utterly at his
mercy. He covered his young

Old Landmark To Go
While Market, Restaur
ant And Furniture Store
Will Be Improved
With announcement today by
K. G. Justus, contractor, that the
two top floors of the structur-5
occupied by the Pla/a hotel at
Main street and Third avenue will
be removed, came the news that
one of the landmarks on Main
street will go.
At the same time it was learned
that the two business rooms ad
joining the restaurant on the
north probably will be remodeled
at once to meet the present and
future requirements of the Brun
son Furniture Co., these quarters
having been badly damaged by
fire in December. The furniture
company is occupying one of th*
rooms at present. In the remod
eling" work, it is understood that
the twD rooms will be thrown to
gether. and the upstairs of both
placed in excellent condition. This
property also includes a basement
used principally for storage. All
is of brick construction.
The entire property to be re
modeled and thoroughly modern
ized is owned by tho Plain estate.
Mr. Justus explained that the
business apartments now occu
pied by the Florida market, owned
by B. L. Foster, and by Louis
Gianakos' restaurant are of brick,
and that they will be left intact
and will continue to be occupied
by the present establishments. But
the remainder of the hotel struc
ture will be demolished and the
business places on the ground floor
will be remodeled. The portion of
the first story which is taken up
by a stairway leading to the hotel
lobby on the second floor will also
be torn out and this will be re
placed by a third business room
to be built between the grocery
store and the restaurant.
Mr. Justus was not able to say
just how old the Plaza hotel was.
but said that it is at least thirty
years old. It was built on a daily
labor cost basis under the direc
tion of the late Dave Jackson, he
said.
All of the structure with the
exception of that housing the
present grocery store and restau
rant is of wood, and the part oc
cupied by the retail business
places is of brick.
TOO COLD TO GO TO
COURT; BONDSMAN
BRINGS IN HIS MAN
DURHAM. March 1. (UP) —
A bondsman who secured the re
lease of D. Parker, 72-year-old
negro, from jail here Saturday,
brought him back to the bastille
yesterday.
Ed Shaw, white bondsman,
didn't know how long Parker was
going1 to remain free under $100
bond when the negro failed tc
appear in court yesterday to an
swer a charge of illegal possessior
of liquor.
Shaw brought the negro to the
courthouse yesterday. Parker ex
plained he had no intention of es
j caping but had remained at home
■ because it was so cold. He ex

DUKE CAMPUS
CHANGES LOON
Would Abolish Use Of Ne
gro Dormitory Maids As
Campus Police Spies
| DURHAM, March 1.—(UP).—
Proposals for changes in campus
affairs were made in an interim
report released yesterday by the
Duke University faculty-student
grievance committee appointed at
a recent mass meetine: to investi
gate alleged injustices in treat
ment of students.
The report was made simulta
neously with a meeting of the
university board of trustees, but
whether copies reached them
could not be ascertained last
jiight.
It advocated abolition of the
practice of using negro dormitory
maids as spies for campus police,
employing dormitory matrons to
report student misbehavior, indis
criminate searching of students'
rooms by campus police, and the
exercise of disciplinary powers by
the superintendent of buildings.
The report said the committee
was aware that such practices
were "without knowledge of high
er administrative officials."
Preparation of a new plan of I
student government, revised man
agement of campus publications
to supercede the old publications
board which students charged was
dominated by the administration,
and a study of the cost of food at
the university dining hall, were
promised in the final report to bo
made soon. i
Student leaders said last night
that, before the final report is in
the hands of the administration,
they were confident that Coach
Wallace Wade, one of the faculty
I members of the grievance com
mittee, would resign because he
! considered some of the recom
I mendations too drastic.

LKXINGTON, Ky., March 1.—
A final enrollment of 2,410 stu
dents has been recorded at the
University of Kentucky for the

(Copyright, 1934, United Press)
VIENNA, March 1.—(UP).—
Persistent but unconfirmed ru
mors arose in Vienna late last
night that the Dollfuss regime
had made a tentative truce w.'th
the Nazis.
The rumors were based on an
unexpected order at 11 p. m., lift
ing the "state of alarm." Civilian
reserves and volunteers mobilized
during the day, when Nazi out
breaks occurred along the fron
tier, were released without ex
planation. **
A Nazi spokesman confidential-1

"ultimatum" delivered last week!
by Theo Habicht, German leader
of the Austrian Nazi party, had
been extended another week. Ha
warned unless Chancellor Engel

they would seek his downfall.
"We did not attempt anything
Wednesday because we anticipat

be extended a week," the Nazis
said.

MESSAGE ON MONDAY

—Roosevelt will deliver a nation
wide address at 11 a. m. Mon
day at the NRA conclave here
the White House announced to
day.
The subject for the proposed
speech was not stated but it was
believed it would be a further
explanation of principles of his
administration's drive for econo
mic recovery.
By C. C. NICOLET
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Mar. 1. (UP) |
—The adminisrat.ion recognized
by inference yesterday that the
recovery program is falling be
hind. Three steps were taken to
extend emergency programs.
The most important of the
three was a White House an
nouncement of a substitute for
the civil works program, which [
will extend beyond May 1 the
period' in which the government
supports millions of unemployed,
thus acknowledging that private
industry is not yet ready to sup
port them.
Next in importance comes a!
request of Secretary of Agricul-I
ture Wallace for broadly increa.s-l
ed powers over crop regulation.
He asked congress to extend his
authority to virtually all crops,
instead of limiting it to basic
commodities. He wants the right
to impose acreage limitation,
marketing agreements and li
censes on the growth and distri
bution of crops when even the
assent of two thirds of the agri
cultural industry involved can
be obtained.
Another move was a senate j
vote, quietly taken without much
notice, extending for a year the
time in which federal reserve
banks may issue federal reserve
notes against the sole backing of
government bonds. This privi
lege, extended in the rush of
emergency legislation of last j
March, will expire on March 3 j
of this year unless the bill pass-i
ed by the senate is approved by i
(he house. Approval is almost I
a certainty, however.
The new expiration date pro
posed in the senate bill remains
within the limit .set by Presi
dent Roosevelt for the ending of
the emergency program and the
beginning of the long range, bal
anced-budget building progTam
which he hopes to make effec
tive. The budget is supposed to
be balanced after June 30. 1935
—that is, the real budget, includ
ing both regular and emergency
expenditures. The regular ex
penditure budget will be balanc
ed this year if the administration
has its way, though Speaker Rai
ney of the house warned yester
day that if senate veterans legis
lation is approved by the house,
the regular budget will have to
be thrown into the discard un
less new taxes are voted.
