THE MAN WHO STOLE THE EARTH"

away from shore the better l shall be
pleased. and the more they will De
troubled. Give them sea room enough
and they will hang themselves-or per-
haps be blown up
He ordered the Victor to stop and
, sat down alone In the stern. A thou
sand different ideas. aims and plans
flashed rapidly through his mind. But
gradually he attuned them all TO the
fact that he had given his word to
Diana that II there could be peace,
peace there should be.
He was content to let the Victor re-
main stationary while the feet steam
ed ahead. The ships had become
mere patches the size Of match heads
In the ocean when he ordered the
Victor under way again.
Though he had allowed the feet be-
low him long start. II took the Vic
tor only 20 minutes or SO to pick them
mp.
Then Strong ordered a thousand
feet drop.
They went down. and the glasses
soon revealed the fact that the Ho-
henzollern, from which the admiral's
flag was flying, signifying that the
kaiser was on board. led the starboard
column of battleships.
And here 1t may be said that dur
ing all the waits that had hung so
heavily upon Strong and Diana's
hands, Langley had busted himself
with experiments as to the tuning OF
the wireless instruments. and these
experiments he had brought to such
successful issue that he could tune
them practically to the instruments Of
any state or any company.
Langley, too, thoughtful, careful and
methodical as ever. had not only laid
to heart the international code which
was commonly used for general mat
tiers. but also the codes OF Germany
and France and the United States. 1t
was the German code that he now
called into use.
The message which he sent under
Strongs instructions was short and
to the point. 1t was this:
"Mr. Strong desires TO speak to his
imperial majesty the German emper-
or"
There was no answer.
Twice and more did Langley repeat

Then Strong instructed him to speak
to the German fleet.
"Mr. Strong makes no threat, deiv-
ers no ultimatum. contents himself
with a suggestion. He realizes that
his imperial majesty Is not to be CO
creed, but at the same time respect
fully informs him that he has a right
to parley, and II such parley Is not
given within the space Of five min
utes he will prove that right"
Then he sat with his watch In his
hand. counting the seconds passing
by. II wanted Ave seconds to the five
minutes when the answer came.
What has Mr.. Strong to say?'
Mr.. Strong merely desires to dis
cuss the international situation with
Ids majesty"
There was more delay before the
answer came back.
The emperor will grant the inter
view"

should have moved two or three days
sooner than he did-and two or three

to the necessity Of giving Admiral
Dewey an order by a cablegram from

CLAIBORNE IS
ORDERED TO JAIL

AStec hearing occupying portions
of The morning and afternoon session
Of the district court yesterday, Judge
Pike yesterday dismissed the writ in
the habeas corpus proceeding resort
ed by Sheriff Ferrel last week on a
charge of grand larceny. Claiborne
was remanded to the custody of the
sheriff without bonds and was taken
back to the county Jail
The prisoner. who is a member of
the state police, was captured at the
Sparks ranch after he had come to
Reno in an automobile which was
held in Rawhide under a writ of at
tachment on account of debt of
1927. In some way the automobile
was taken away and charge of
grand larceny for the alleged theft
was lodged in Rawhide and the war
rant placed in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Cullom. The deputy was
about to take Claiborne back to
Rawhide when he presented petit
tioI for habeas corpus and was re-
leased on $1,000 bail pending the
hearing.
Judge Pike in deciding the ques-
ton raised by the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings stated that it might be pos
sible for new writ to be sued out in
any other county, but that the case
could not be appealed from In this
court. 1t is likely that other pro-
ceedings may be resorted to before
Claiborne reaches Rawhide to answer
the charge placed against him.
Deputy Cullom took his prisoner
to Rawhide with him last night on
tie Tonopah train.
