he reasoned. had the man described

Then this doubt came 10 the active

CHAPTER VII.

The Influences of established prin-
ciples and correct associations may
carry an ordinary man TO success in
proper channels, but the successful
villain Is necessarily an intellectual
being. In his room Holbin gradually
evolved from his discoveries the con
clusion that he had an active enemy
near at hand. and that a plot was
thickening about him. Yet who was
there in Richmond that knew enough
OF his history TO place a finger upon
the blacklist spot in his life? And
why the enmity2 Two theories pre-
scented themselves, and only two

he had understood that he was not

SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES.
Action Taken Saturday by the Leadin

Action Taken Saturday by the Leading
Club of America in That Regard
Frank @. p. Barnes, the secretary of
the Kidder Motor Vehicle company. of
this city, received an announcement
yesterday from the Automobile Club Of
America. Of which he is a member, stat
ing that the club was in hearty sympa-
thy with the movement before the leg
islature in regard to putting a speed
limit on the horseleEs carriages. The
circular sent out to the members was in
the shape of some resolutions drawn up
last Saturday by the directors of the
club, which is the oldest and foremost
club of it's kind In the country. They
were to the effect that IL any member
of the club was charged with breaking
the law in regard to the rate of speed
that his vehicle should run he should be
warned and suspended on the first Of
Tense. If there is a repetition of the
charge at later date the guilty MEM
Der will be expelled from the club until
the board of directors sees fit to rein
state him.
This move. 1t is believed, will help to
better the sport all over the country, as
the Automobile Club of America is very
influential and any action on it's part
will be looked up to end followed by the
smaller organizations.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G. STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Internal
Revenue Collector j. c. Lynch of the
First District of California will not be
removed. The matter was decided to-day
by President Roosevelt, who Informed
Senator Bard that Senator Perkins had
protested against Lynch's removal, and
as long as the senior Senator maintained
that attitude no action would be taken.
Senator Bard had an interview with the
President by appointment this morning
Bard was accompanied by State Senator
Belshaw of California, a college mate Of
the President. They laid the matter be-
fore the President, Bard urging the re-
moval of Lynch because of the perni-
cious activity of the Collector in poll
tics, State and national. Bard was pre-
pared further and more fully to present
what he believed to be just causes for
prompt declaration of the President that
Senator Perkins protest against the step
urged by Senator Bard would prevent any
action in the matter, and that Lynch
Senator Bard told the President that
while he regretted deeply his refusal TO
depose Lynch, whose removal the Senator
regarded as demanded by the best inter-
ests of the public service, he must accept
and abide by his decision. Senator Bard
later expressed his disappointment at the
attitude of the President who, he be-
lieves, has not fully realized the real
character and significance of the opposi-
ton to Lynchs removal, but has rested
solely on the senior Senator's protest re-
sardless of the merits of the question.
A bit of humor was added to this rather
serious and embarrassing case to-day by
Senator Perkins, who was at the White
House, to introduce William M. Bunker
tc the President. Mr.. Roosevelt told SEN
ator Perkins that he and Bard ought. to
"get together on the Lynch matter,
whereupon Perkins said to the President
that he the Senator) was chairman of

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 18.-A dele
cation representing the American Asiatic

proposed Chinese exclusion law in favor
of Chinese merchants who desire to come

Representative Kahn urged the rigid ex-

suggestions that a division of sentiment
existed on the subject, Kahn declared that
the mercantile community of San Fran
cisco was about three to one for exclusion,
a recent test vote by the Merchants Asso-
citation having shown this result. A hear
