Girl, Demure In Is Vamp Away, Engaged to 4 As He Spent Savings, Says Man Who Has Her Arrested. Special to Tha Courier-Journal. Elyria. Feb. 25.

Did Miss Mary Rose Boone, pretty 28-year-old Owensboro, girl lead a dual life one as a demure modest girl in her home town, the other of a "vamp" in Elyria? "i'es," answers Nicholas Bishop, who says the girl jilted him after he had squandered on her all of his savings in gifts of jewelry and money. Then, he said, ho learned she had been engaged to three other men at the same time. He had her arrested charged with stealing a $1,000 note from him. "No," is the answer of her relatives and neighbors, and pastor In Owensboro. Bishop has framed up the charge in retaliation because she broke the engagement when she learned he was a divorced man, they said.

Her home town, where the girl was employed as a bookkeeper for a utilities company, was shocked last week when she was arrested on a warrant from Elyria. She had been held in the highest esteem as an unusually modest and well-behaved girl. The Rev. Richard Maloney, pastor of the St. Stephen's Catholic Church, felt it so acutely that he sat down and wrote a long letter, setting forth the girl's virtues, the excellence of her family, the foot that she had conducted herself without reproach during the ten years he had known her and enjoyed the highest esteem and respect of her home town.

The Ohio officials, working swiftly, obtained requisition papers before the arrest was made, and had the girl on the way back to Ohio before members of her family had recovered from the shock. Then relatives became busy and sought to have the officer and girl detained In Louisville under habaes corpus proceedings. But the Louisville police did not locate them and the next morning the girl was placed in NATE SESSION Fearing G. 0. P.

Plot to Kill No-Emblem BillThey Stay Away; No Quorum Results. 'Lost' Senators Hide In Lexington Hotel Special to The Courier-Journal. Lexington, Feb. 25.

Frankfort. Feb. 25. The first Saturday Senate session proved a dud. Though they voted it yesterday the Democrats did not show up, not a single one of them.

But Someone Overheard. Someone overhead and someone notified a' Democratic leader. The word went out and immediately after breakfast the Democratic members of the upper house, with the exception of three, who are absent from the city, gathered at a caucus. Half an hour or so afterward the Democrats came from their caucus in groups of two or three.

Democrats Take the Air. "Sh-h, a secret." The Democrats left the hotel in every direction except that which leads toward the Suite House. Tt was annroaching 10:30 o'clock, the scheduled timo for convention. Wonder where the Democrats are?" one asked. Then, it was whispered about.

W. Embry, president of the Louis ville concern, who was instrumental In effecting the consolidation.

Mr. Embry will be vice president of the new corporation which will repre sent $16,000,000 in capital. The gener al offices of the corporation will be located in Chicago, It was said. Will Be Division Plant. A majority of the plants in the mer ger, which are located in territories stretching from Northern Wisconsin to New Orleans and from Detroit to ICansas City, are wire-bound box manufacturing concerns, according to Mr.

Embry, who said the Embry plant will be known as the Embry Box.Company, Louisville Division of the Continental Box Corporation. The only nailed box manufacturing plants in the merger, Mr. Embry said, are the Embry Company, the John Ransom Company. Nashville, Tenn. the Republic Box Company, New Or.

leans, and the Forrester-Nace Box Company, Kansas City. The merger will not change the pres. cnt management or business policies of the Embry company, it was said, and the company will continue to manufacture both nailed and wire boxes. Will Allocate Orders. "A largo percentage of our busi ness, particularly of our wire-bound plant, is located a considerable distance from Louisville," Mr.

Embry explained, "and this portion of our business will be changed under the new management so that it will be cared for by the factory in the con solidation that is best equipped and best located to handle the order. "The corporation, therefore, will be able to offer r-rices to the trade less fluctuating than in the case where the companies are dependent on the market for their materials at all times. Another factor in the making of prices which will reflect a benefit to the users is that the company will be able to. reduce freight hauls, and avoid all cross-shipment of either materials or finished products. In fact, the company Is planning a perfected box service, which does not end when the package leaves its plant." Mr.

Embry said the company sup plies wire-bound boxe3 to customers as far East as Vermont, as far West as Iowa and also to New Orleans and St. Paul territory. With most of the merged companies dealing in the wire-bound box business, Mr. Embry eaid that the operations of the Louisville plant will be enhanced considerably because many of the branches will send their nail box business here. The new corporation will manufac ture a large percentage of its own ma terials, Mr.

Embry asserted. One of 6 Bullets Hits Early Morning Caller Left Cuff Buttons In Wounded Man Tells Police, Who Arrest Both.

EVERY RECORD IS BROKEN Every sixth person in Louisville visited the Louisville Autnobilo Show. A little more than per capita was spent at the exhibit.

Figures compiled by officials show that 232 automobiles were sold dur ing the week af an estimated valuation of S4G3.000. This figure was com piled from an accurate poll of twenty-five of the thirtykme dealers exhibiting cars. The other six, to esti mates last, midnight, sold at least thirty to forty additional cars. Accessory dealers, of which there were sixty.five, sold approximately worth of goods. This figure may go.

higher when the final tab is completed, it was announced, making the total sales 5473,000, setting a new high record for Louisville. Ther total attendance for the week was 45,500 persons, or more than in excess of any show held in Louisville. 104 Open Cars Sold. The nearness of pleasant weather is believed to be a factor in the sale of open cars. There were 104 such cars-sold and sixty-nine inclosed cars sold to Louisville purchasers.

The remaining fifty-nine were sold to State, dealers. An analysis made of the automobiles sold showed that the medium and higher grades were very much in demand. It was said by officials of the exhibit that the purchasers of certain of the. lower grade models would hardly purchase them at an exhibit. But it was the patron who wished to compare a number of cars who made purchases at the show.

Officials of the Louisville Automo bile Dealers' Association attributed the fact that there were no protests of any kind during the exhibit to the detailed and careful arrangement of tile exhibit's plans by George T. Holmes. secretary of the association. Mr, Holmes has been secretary of the body for the last ten months and was credited with much of the success of the affair by the dealers. Rusli for 1823 Space.

The Saturday attendance figures surpassed any previous Saturday in the show's fourteen years' existence. Another record was smashed yesterday when dealers and exhibitors clamored for space reservations for the 1923 show. At no previous show has such demands been made.

Estimates made of the cost of the affair showed that from J40.000 to SJOOO was expended in arrangements and decorations Visiting automobile officials expressed belief that the settings of the show exceeded in artistic beauty, those of Chicago and New York.

REPUBLICAN JOINS Underwood As "Blend," Rer calls to Missisippian Lack of Dry Law In Britain. By ULRIC BELL.

The Courier-Journal Washlneton Burean. Washington, Feb. 25. Ambassador George Harvey's remarks in London Monday became political fodder today ror senator Pat Harrison of Missis-slppi. Democrat, who, speaking with' bitter sarcasm in the Senate, heaped ridicule not only upon Mr.

Harvey, but loosed sizzling irony upon Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and the Harding Administration. Mr. Lodge, whose seat in the Senate wlll be contested at the coming elec tion, was lashed by the Mississippi for Ills wavering tactics on foreign question, especially in the recent con- ference on armaments and on th treaties, now before the Senate, that grew out of it. His leadership of the Republican side was held up to. scorn.

Mr. Harvey, characterized as the "Sacho Panzo of the Diplomatio Corps" was flayed for predicting in a foreign atmosphere, ratification of the Arms Conference treaties by the Amcr-lean Senate. Likens Lodge to Don "Mr. Lodge ns 'Don Quixote' ought to tell him if he knows state secrets to keep them to himself for a while," Mr. Harrison declared.

Mr. Harrison, professed to resent Mr. Harvey's com-parison of President Warren to the "elephant which symbolizen-his political party," and which "tests with painstaking caution every plank in crossing a bridge." to be convinced of firm footing. Policies of tho President on the tariff and the bonus wero ridiculed, but Mr. Harrison claimed he had risen above the "realm of partisanship" to resent Sir.

Harrison didn't want to go over ground already covered by Mr. Reed, but said certain other parts of; the "remarkable" speech should bo considered. He had hoped, ho naid, that some Republican Senator would! rise in defense of "tho characterization given by the Ambassador to the dls. tinguished leader of Republicanism it this chamber, the Senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Lodge, and of the characterization hurled at the President of tho United States."

ASHLAND NEPHEW OF FEUDIST SLAIN Young Oil Man Mysteriously Killed In Lobby; Linked to White-Bailey War. Special to The Courier-Journal. Ashland, Feb.

25. Is the death of John G. White, young business man, found with a bullet in his head in the lobby of an office building here today, another chapter in the White-Bailey feud? This is the question authorities are seeking to answer in one of the most mysterious cases on record here. White left his home at 4 o'clock this morning to take a train to Lexington to visit his fiancee. At 5 o'clock, a boy delivering ice found his body dn the vestibule of the Phipps Thomas insurance office, two blocks from the station and not directly on the way to the station.

Clutched Pistol in Hand. A pistol was clutched in his right hand and a cigarette in the left. The bullet had entered just under the chin and passed out at the top of his head. Coroner H. S.

Swope and the police authorities from the outset declared it was not suicide but murder. They say the manner in which he was shot was not that a suicide would have adopted. The the pistol was held in his hand also bore out this which was strengthened still more when it was learned that White's pistol was at his father's house and that the vistol found on his body did not belong to him. Capt. John Bruner of the Salva tion Army, who occupies a room across the street from the Insurance office, said he heard the shot at 4:15 o'clock and saw a closed automobile go down the street.

He thought the shot was the back-fire of the auto mobile. Another Heard Shot. The only other person who heard the shot was man sleeping in the insurance office building. He also thought it was the backfire of a car and did not investigate. The authorities were unable to learn anything from relatives that would shed any light on the case.

White's mother was convinced, howeyer, that he was. murdered. His two. sisters, Miss Alice White, employe of a Lexington bank, and Mrs. -Mary White Wells, also of Lexington, reached the city and also expressed positive opinions that he had been slain.

All said, however, that they knew of no reason why anyone should take his life. They admitted there was a possl-wiiiv th.it it was due to the White- Bailey feud, but said he had never been mixed up in tnis irouuie. The authorities awaited impatiently the arrival of his father, John G. White. oil man and former Winchester postmaster, who reached here tonight from Sadieville, where he has oil interests.

Tb oHur Whitn said he was unable to furnish any information to help clear the mystery. He, too. was confident, though, that his son had been murdered. Doubts Feud Is to Blame. He, too, could not believe that the tragedy was due to the White-Bailey feud but recognized it was a possibility.

The police say no money was taken from White and they do not believe that robbery was a motive. Coroner Swope will hold an Inquest tomorrow. The White-Bailey feud was rekindled last year after smouldering for twenty years. John Bailey shot and killed Beverlv White, uncle of John White, at Hederick Station, Knox County, last ADril and was sentenced to prison for life at a trial at which State troops were called out to prevent a clasn between the rvlal factions; Young White, who was unmarried, was engaged in the oil business with his father.

Yielding to a great desire for harmony among Republican Senators, and to insure ratification of the Four-Power Pacific Treaty, the Foreign Relations'Commit-tee today attached the Brandegee modified reservation and ordered a favorable report. It was explained that this proposition is not unsatisfactory to President Warren G. Harding. A majority of the Republican committee members agreed with the conclusion of Mr. Harding that a reservation is entirely unnecessary.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Mas sachusetts, Republican, chairman of the committee, was strongly of that opinion. The concession was made be cause of precaution and to establish the utmost degree of united support. Text of Reservation. The Brandegee modified reservation, made a part of the Four-Power Treaty, under the statement in the preamble, follows: "The United States understands tnai under the' statement in the preamble, or under the terms of this treaty, there is no commitment to armed force, no alliance, no obligation to join in any This reservation was adopted by a vote of 10 to 3. Senator Frank -B.

Kellogg of Min nesota, Republican, with Senators John Sharp Williams of Mississippi and Atlee Pomerene of Ohio, Demo crats, in the negative. Senators Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska, Claude Sw'anson of Virginia and Key Pittman of Nevada, all Democrats, were absent. Senators P. J.

McCumber of North Dakota and Medill McCormick of Illinois, Republicans, were represented by proxies in all the votes cast. The fight on the Four-Power Treaty opened with a motion by Mr. Pomerene to eliminate the words "no alliance" from the pending Brandegee modified reservation. This, was rejected three to ten. Those voting for the motion were Messrs.

Kellogg, Williams and Pomerene Substitute Rejected. The original Brandegee reservation, regarded heretofore as more drastic and comprehensive than the modifica tion, was offered by Senator Hiram Johnson of California. Republican. It was rejected, four to nine. Those voting for it were Messrs.

Borah Johnson, Moses and Shields. Mr. Pomerene then offered this substitute for the pending modified Brandegee reservation: "It is, however, understood that any adjustment provided for under Article I hereof, and any misunderstanding contemplated under Article II, in order to be binding on the United States, shall be. ratified and executed in accordance with the' Constitutional methods of the United States." This was rejected one to twelve. Mri Pomerene alone voted for his substitute.

After, adoption of the Brandegee modified reservation, a favorable re port on the Four-Power Treaty was ordered ten to three. Messrs. Borah, Johnson and Shields cast the negative votes. Naval Treaty Unopposed. The vote on reporting the treaty supplemental to the Four-Power Treaty was twelve to one.

Mr. Borah alone voted in the negative. The naval eaty was reported fa vorably by a vote of thirteen to none. The submarine and noxious gas treaty was reported favorably without a division. The two treaties dealing with Chi neso matters were postponed until at the request of Mr.

Pom erene. It developed before the Foreign Relations Committee met today that Mr. Borah and other irreconcilables regarded the modified Erandegee reser vation with much more favor than at the first reading. It was concluded that the plan safeguarded the treaty so far as hu man ingenuity can do so. It was held that the reservation does not meet (Continued on Page 3, Column 5.)
