inthtr's eminence. The machine
fell into the error of underrating
him—cleaning him as a. mere echo
of paternal greatness.
“Young l‘lob."~ as he is usually re-

many ways and has no intention of
trying to apt him. He doubtless
would have avoided that pitfall even
if he had not witnessed the example

Born in Madison. Feb.
“Yotihg Bob" will be a thirty-year-
old Senator. the youngest ever to
sit in that body excepting Henry
Clay. ’
His early years have been marked
by little to distinguish him from his
boyhood contemporaries. He went
to Western High school in Washing-
ton, and got through—neither a
good student nor a. bad one. He had
reached his junior year in the Uni-
versliy of Wisconsin when his fath-
er summoned him to the capital.
The Senator was in the thick of his
fight over the Armed Ship Bill. The
line and cry was against him. He
was alone. He turned to "Bob."
his youngest son. and always his
favorite.
From that time on the boy rare.-
iy left his father's side. He dug
into statistics. ran errands, became
secretary. He was elected chairman
of the Wisconsin Stat Republican
organization—his futile s machine.
He still holds that place. He ran
his father's campaign for re-clectlon
to the Senate in 1920. The Old
Guard was “out to get the old man"
for his war record. For the first
time “the old man" swept very-
tliing before him and young Bob
got his due of credit inside the
family, if not outside.
its acmiittcd himself as well in
the Presidential race—despite the
failure. It was young Bob who
went to Cleveland on July 4 and
read his father's declaration to the
Progressive convention there. He
had never spoken from a public
platform before in his life. He was
not outwardly nervous. He has a
strong voice. a direct manner. He
.rcad what he had to read with vigor
and precision.
Old Guard Disappointed
His first political speech was
from the 'stump In the Wisconsin
race Just ended. The Old Guard
thought he would “cxplode"-a
mere schoolboy in politics. He dis-
appointed thcm. Where his father
knew and used all the tricks of old
school oratory. Young Bob uses
none. He is nearly as short as was
his father. but he does not affect
the bristling pompadour. or the
striking mannerisms and pugiiistic
gestures of his parent. He merely
says what he has to say in as
straightforward a way as possible.
without embellishment or apparent
self-consciousness.
There has been one extraordinary
episode in young Bob's life. His
family once despaired of his life. He
was stricken with double pneu-
monia. The doctors gave him up.
It was in 1917 when the roar was
at its height to unseat the Senator
for his opposition to the war.
Nursed Son in Illness
The Senator turned his back on
the Senate and stayed day and night
by Bob's bedside, inspired the sick
boy to live and won. For a year or
more his life hung in the balance.
He weighed seventy L pounds. But
he determined to live and evidenced
some of that will power for which

‘Young Bob returned from a trip
to Europe Just in time to be at his
father's death bed. It was under-

Young Bob gives the impression

Change Locks to
Guard Seized Stuff
STAMFORD. Sept. 18 '(AP). —-
Mayor John F. Keeling and Prose-
chtlng Attorney Max Spelke of the
City Court have had a falling out
over the contents of the “wine cei-
lar" In which seized liquors are kept.
The "wine collar" is at Police
Headquarters and the dopartmcntlo
a. certain extent. has been held re-
sponsible for tho safe-keeping of
liquors placed in it.
Lock. No. l—thn Mayor Kcating
came into office he had a. new lock
placed on the “wine cellar" and of
three keys, one was placed with the
superintendent of the Police Depart-
ment.
. Lock No. 2—chcral days ago
Prosecutor Spelke requeflied of the
head of Police Department ti. key to
the “wine cellar," that he might ex-
amine the contents. He obtained the
key and. later. he had another lock
placed on the "cellar," and he kept
the key.
Lock No. S—Tuesday Spelke sent
two men to inventory the liquors.
The police barred them from mak-
ing the list. Mayor Kcatlng then
had another look placed on the.
“cellar" and turned the keys over to
the Police Department. He took the
position that the department was
responsible for the safe-keeping of
the liquors. . ' ‘ .
Mr. Spelke returned from Bridge-
port lnto yesterday and learned of
their incidents and he called up the
Mayor and some warm exchanges
of words are said to have passed.
Inventory Ordered.
Wednesday Mayor lx'entlng. acting
as head of the Police Department,
cx-omcio, went before Judge Sam-
uel Young in City Court with a mo-
tion for a court order to the effect
that tho liquors should be in custody
of the Police Department and no one
else. The court declined to enter-
tain the motion but. at its sugges-
tion. it was agreed that an inventory
should be made of the contents of
the “wine cellar.” and that two offi-
cers should represent the department
and two men should be employed by
Prosecuting Attorney.
The Mayor ' told the. court that
his action was for "self-protection."
as it had been held that the de-
partment was responsible for the
liquors stored at headquarters. Some
of the liquors came from cases which
were in Common Pleas Court and-
somc cases which have been appeal-
ed to the Supreme Court. The May-
or sald {bat an inventory was needed
to determine just what liquor was
in the "cellar" and he felt that the
police had a. right to know what was
there. and he failed to see where. any
responsibility rested with the Prose-
cuting Attorney. n
Investigators at‘ Work.
It is said that the incident is an:
other in the controversy ’over the
City Court judgeship contestin the
last Legislature.
Two investigators archers mak-
ing an inventory and investigation
for the Prosecuting Attorney. They
are Harold Cole. is private detective.
and George W. Murphy. assistant
secretary of the Washington office
of United States Senator Hiram
Bingham.
Mayor Keeling issued a long

there was no reason why the Police

"It is important also to note that

quors in question. ,Mr. Spelke can
have no possible interest. in. in that
they are undor the control of the
shlgher courts and their officials. ac-
cording 'to_ my present inform‘stion.
' "Last evening. September 15, Mr.
upon his return from
Bridgeport, called me on the tele-
phone at my home. sndheforel
could explain to him the position of
the Police department. and arrive
at a settlement of the problem. and
without the slightest provocation. he
shouted over the telephone. ‘You
are a crook.’
"Such conduct was unwarranted
and Wholly indefensible. and. con-
sidering the source from which it
came. peculiarly offensive to me. but

“Thoreupon this morning I. in my
official capacity. went to the City
court which has jurisdiction over
some considerable, part of this
liquor. prepared to make a motion
for a court order determining the
dilution as to the custody and the
safe keeping of this liquor. The
court preferred not to hear the mo-
tion today, and at his suggestion an
inventory of the liquor is new bee

fuses to be further responsible for

GIRL ARTIST IS
KILLED BY BIG
STUMP 0F TREE
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 18 (AP). _
”While sitting at her easel sketch-
lng chocio bits of landscape at the
foot of. Mount Pleasant in upper
Darby, near here Wednesday. Miss
Nora. Rhoads, lS-year-old art stu-
dent. was instantly killed when a
tree stump. weighing nearly a ton.
rolled down the hill and struck her.
At the top of the hill two labor-
ers, Washington Murphy and Nicho-
las Drizeio, tugged and pulled at two
old stumps. preparatory to rolling
them down the hill. Neither knew
the art student est below. and the
girl. apparently. was unaware of
their presence.
Finally the workmen brought the
stumps to the edge of the hill and
rushed them over. At the some in-
stant they sighted Miss Rhosds at
her work, directly in the path of tho
on-rushlng stumps.
Both men screamed .and the girl.
turning, saw the heavy pieces of
wood crashing through the under-
brush towards her. With a. startled
cry she deserted her easel and paint
brushes, and ran for safety.
One of the stumps roiled well to
the left of the girl. The other. Mur-
phy said. appeared to be rolling sev-
eral feet away, but suddenly one of
its uneven. surfaces caused it to
swerve. overtake the girl and knock
her to the earth. The girl's slender
body did not even halt the stump in
its dash to level ground. Her skull
was broken and her arms and legs
fractured and torn.
Miss Rhonda wns'an only child of
William S. Rhoads. insuracne com-
pany official. and was introduced to
society last fall. She was deeply in-
terested in sketching and painting
and, with a number of artist friends.
frequently visited a 'small clubhouse
near the spot where she was killed.
